"Mom, let's go back. Since our sister-in-law is here, we can't help much, so let's go home."
Xu Meili was feeling sad because her confession was rejected.
Looking at the attitude of my third brother and sister-in-law, they are not welcoming them. What's the point of staying here?
"How can this be?" The old lady looked at her daughter.
"You...you just..." The old lady winked at her daughter, wanting to ask her what the outcome was.
"Mom, let's go back." Xu Meili was embarrassed to directly tell them that she was rejected, so she said she wanted to go home.
The old lady was anxious, how could she leave?
If you leave now, you will have no chance anymore.
Lu Hongming is not from their side, and they are so far away from each other that there is no chance for them to get along in the future.
Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, as the saying goes, "A strong woman is afraid of a clinging man, and a woman chasing a man is easy, she doesn't believe that she can't win Lu Hongming over by interacting with him more.
With more contact, feelings will naturally develop between you.
"Could it be that his confession was rejected?" Jiang Yuzhu couldn't help but guess as she looked at Xu Meili.
Xu Meili looked at Jiang Yuzhu with red eyes.
It came true.
As soon as Jiang Yuzhu saw the expression, she knew that she had guessed right.
She said that when she saw Xu Meili's back just now, she seemed to be crying.
I guess she confessed her love to Lu Hongming, but he rejected her.
"Meili, what did Lu Hongming say?" Old Mrs. Xu obviously also heard what Jiang Yuzhu said and was extremely anxious.
"Brother Lu...he said he has someone he likes and doesn't want to keep me away." Xu Meili threw herself into Old Lady Xu's arms.
"What?"
"He has someone he likes. Who is it?" The old lady looked at Xu Lei. Why didn't he tell her this earlier?
"Third brother, do you know about this?" the old lady asked her son.
"Mom, how would I know about other people's relationship matters? What if they were engaged since childhood? For a family like the Lu family, their marriages must be approved by their family. Besides, I have no right to interfere in other people's relationship matters."
Although Xu Lei didn't know when Lu Hongming fell in love with someone, it was his private matter after all.
Lu Hongming, a child from a wealthy family, has played with many children since childhood, so it is normal for him to have someone he likes.
Everyone has the right to privacy. Although the two people have a good relationship, there is no need to dig into such matters.
So Xu Lei really didn't know that Lu Hongming had someone in his heart.
Maybe this was just an excuse Lu Hongming made up, or maybe it was true, but it all showed that Lu Hongming had no intention of developing a relationship with his sister.
“Woo…”
Hearing what her third brother said, Xu Meili felt even more aggrieved. Was she not chosen just because of her poor family background?
"Don't cry, don't cry. Without Lu Hongming, ask your third brother to find you another outstanding young man. It's such a large army, and he's not the only man. There are many of them."
The old lady comforted her daughter.
Jiang Yuzhu couldn't stand it any longer. "Mom, all the good men in this army are for your daughter to choose from. You treat your daughter like a queen, choosing a concubine here. You're happy with it, but are others happy with it?"
"Don't harm your son. Xu Lei has worked so hard to get to where he is today. Are you just worried that your son's reputation is too good? You have to find something to cause trouble."
"Why, these ten or eight villages are not enough for you to choose a son-in-law, so you come here to choose."
"Let's not talk about how ridiculous your idea is. Who wouldn't choose a daughter-in-law who knows her well? Don't you also want to choose someone you like for your son? Without any contact, just a quick meeting, they can decide to marry a beautiful woman. Is that possible?"
"Well, Meili is stationed in the army and is waiting to choose her ideal partner. As the wife, I can't join the army yet, so where should she, as the younger sister, be arranged?"
After Jiang Yuzhu finished speaking, everyone fell silent because what she said was all true.
How is it possible to find a suitable partner in such a short time? This is like a blind man touching an elephant.
The old lady was in a hurry because she wanted to prove that her daughter would definitely find a good partner who was no worse than Li Erlong next door.
But it's not that easy.
The old lady was unwilling to give up and looked at Xu Lei, "Third brother, I want to ask you, do you still care about your sister?"
"Mom, I didn't say I don't care. How about this? You guys go back first. There's no rush for this kind of thing. I'll write to Brother Zhu and the others and ask them to help find out if there are any suitable young men in the city. I'd like to help set them up. Finding a partner requires a lot of consideration."
"I'm also thinking about you, Dad, and my sister. You're married so far away, and if your in-laws bully you, I can't help them. It will be hard to meet them in the future. Let's find someone closer..."
Xu Lei didn't want to find someone from their army for his sister, he also had his own selfish motives.
Not to mention the difficulty of this matter, if my sister really finds his comrade-in-arms, their family will be in turmoil again.
The old lady must be worried about her daughter and comes over often.
It would definitely be inconvenient to live at my son-in-law's house, so the old lady and the old man can only stay at his place when they come to visit their daughter.
I originally wanted to take my wife away from her husband's family and live my own life after joining the army, but in the end we got entangled again. How can we continue to live our lives?
He didn't want to quarrel with his wife because of this matter.
Xu Lei firmly disagreed.
Isn't this just asking for trouble?
"I...I won't look for her anymore. I'll just stay at home and take care of my parents." Xu Meili didn't want to see anyone now.
The person you like doesn’t like you.
Besides, with such a beautiful example in front of me for comparison, it’s hard to find a better partner when I go back.
