Xiang Wanwan stepped into the school dormitory for the first time.
Although Xiang Xinrong was a school principal, their dormitory was nothing special—a small bungalow with two rooms: a bedroom and a kitchen.
The bedroom was separated by a curtain and contained two beds.
The kitchen wasn't big either, with only a stove and a cabinet, just big enough for one person to work in.
No wonder Xiang Shuxue went to great lengths to stay at their house.
The conditions in the school dormitories are really not good!
But Xiang Xinrong should have money. There are quite a few empty houses on the island. Why doesn't he buy one for himself?
Reluctant to part with it?
Li Jinglan warmly invited Xiang Wanwan into the house.
"Wanwan, the house is a mess, come in and sit down!"
“Your dad said there isn’t a suitable house right now, so he’s thinking of moving closer to you. Once there are houses available around here, we’ll move there.”
Xiang Wanwan sneered inwardly.
So that's what they were planning!
She thought that old man was just unwilling to spend money.
The house next door to Wang Sao's was quite nice, but unfortunately Xiang Xinrong was too late; Granny Chen had already taken it.
At this time, Xiang Xinrong and Xiang Shuxue should both be at school, and Li Jinglan is the only one at home.
Xiang Wanwan didn't want to step into the house; she just stood at the doorway and spoke to Li Jinglan:
“Aunt Li, there’s a family next door. The man is a second lieutenant. He’s taken a liking to Shuxue and wants me to be his matchmaker.”
She spoke directly and frankly, without beating around the bush.
Given the current situation at Granny Chen's house, Li Jinglan would definitely be willing to go and check on it first.
Sure enough, Li Jinglan's eyes lit up when she heard that he was a second lieutenant.
"Wanwan, I don't know much about military matters. What kind of officer is a second lieutenant? Is it a high rank?"
"It's alright, I manage several dozen people."
Xiang Wanwan did not lie about this.
What she didn't say was that there were more than a dozen second lieutenants on the island, so they weren't considered particularly high-ranking officers.
"Sure, sure! Let's meet."
Upon hearing that she would be in charge of dozens of people, Li Jinglan agreed without even asking about the other party's family background or character.
Xiang Wanwan sneered inwardly.
It seems Li Jinglan doesn't treat her daughter very well.
However, in this era, most people prefer sons to daughters, so Xiang Wanwan's situation is not surprising.
She smiled and told Li Jinglan, "Okay! Then I'll go back and talk to them. Aunt Li, come over tomorrow and we can have a meal together at their house."
"Oh, Aunt Li, don't forget to tell Shuxue to tidy up properly!"
"Don't worry!"
As Xiang Wanwan walked out of the school dormitory, she still felt a little strange.
Things went even more smoothly than she had expected.
The main issue was Li Jinglan's attitude; it gave her the feeling that she wanted to marry Xiang Shuxue off as soon as possible.
