Chapter 44 I can’t divorce and change someone~

He Cao, who was still comforting Zhu Sanni, didn’t know that she would have to bleed a lot when she got home. Otherwise, her reputation as a gold digger would spread from her family and go far and wide, making her unable to hold her head up in front of Zhu Sanni forever.

Shen Yu Niang, who was working in the field, listened to her good friend Jiang Mei’s words. A cold smile appeared on her lips. “Heh, this is just the beginning. Wait and see! The good times are yet to come.”

“I think so too. Zhu Sanni isn’t a good mother-in-law.” Jiang Mei nodded in agreement. She then looked around, seeing no one coming, and leaned close to her ear. “Yu Niang, we’ve been friends for so many years, we know each other inside and out. I won’t beat around the bush. What do you think about your daughter, Wanqing?”

Seeing her puzzled expression, she lowered her voice again. “Don’t pretend. Everyone in the village is spreading rumors about Wanqing and that educated youth Jiang on the mountain that day. I don’t believe those two, Zhu Sanni and Xu Dahua, wouldn’t add fuel to the fire. So what do you think about Wanqing’s marriage? Do you want to find her a husband from our village, or do you want to go directly for Jiang Zhiqing?”

She had thought about it for He Wanqing herself, but her husband didn’t agree, so she could only think about it. But now, such a good opportunity, she didn’t want to miss it. Since her own son wasn’t good enough, but her niece’s son was! She wanted to find a soldier for her third nephew, and if not a soldier, then her second nephew, she could choose either one.

Shen Yu Niang, who seemed calm on the surface, was flustered in her heart after Jiang Mei finished speaking. She knew Zhu Sanni and Xu Dahua too well. She raised her eyelids slightly and saw that Jiang Mei was still waiting for her answer before she turned around and smiled. “Lao He asked me to take my daughter to live in the army for a while.” She didn’t answer her question, but changed the subject.

Jiang Mei, who had already understood the meaning, followed her rhythm. “That’s not bad, but you two are getting old, don’t fight each other anymore. Just join the army there! It’s good that the children are all around, they can take care of you. Otherwise, you’re alone at home, and they won’t be at ease.”

Shen Yu Niang walked silently without answering. It was impossible not to fight. At most, she would hold back a little. When her daughter’s situation was settled, she could fight again. It was impossible to make her bow her head.

Looking at her old friend’s expression, Jiang Mei, who had known her temperament for years, shook her head. “Yu Niang, you’re so much better than me and the other women in the village. Don’t be ungrateful! You know, we’re all getting old, why bother fighting for face and turning red in the face? You and He Baolian should both take a step back. Get along well together in the future. Don’t forget that old companions are old companions. Don’t wait until…”

She didn’t finish her sentence, but Shen Yu Niang understood what she meant. She thought for a long time, and when Jiang Mei thought she wouldn’t speak, she nodded. “I know. I’ll talk to him properly when I go this time.”

She couldn’t divorce and find someone else to live with, so they had to talk properly. If they were still at odds as before, then she would just die at home and never go to see him again.

“That’s right. You two aren’t without feelings. Don’t act like everything is sweet when you first meet, and then a month later, even breathing is smelly. That won’t do. If you care about each other, then talk it out properly. You’re both this old. If you don’t talk it out properly, are you going to talk it out underground?”

“I know.” Shen Yu Niang nodded. She understood everything. It was just that they were both stubborn, so they always ended up at odds.

Seeing her old friend understand, Jiang Mei changed the subject. They chatted for a long time, until they finished their work in the field, before going home separately.

When Shen Yu Niang got home, she washed her hands and looked at the siblings talking in the house. Thinking about what Jiang Mei had said in the field, she turned around and went to Uncle He’s house next door. She called both Uncle He and Uncle He San as she passed by their houses, and they all went to Uncle He’s house together.

As soon as she entered, Shen Yu Niang glanced at the busy kitchen and pulled Grandma He into the living room. After everyone was seated or standing, she told them what she had just heard.

Aunt He, who came in to get something, heard this and told them what she and Aunt He Er had heard. Finally, as she left, she added, “I think that educated youth Jiang looks pretty good. She could get married. After all, she’s in the village, and we don’t have to worry about him being bad to Wanqing. And he doesn’t have a mother-in-law like Zhu Sanni.”

“Go, go, go… That educated youth Jiang isn’t what he seems. He…” He stopped talking, remembering something.

He’s words made He’s mother and the others curious, but seeing his expression, they knew they couldn’t ask. They exchanged glances, and were about to speak, when they heard Uncle He say, “I’ll go ask Jiang Zhiqing about it later. As for Wanqing’s matter, don’t mention it for now. We’ll talk about it after I come back.”

“Uncle, what can’t I be told?” He Wanqing and He Jiakang exchanged glances as they entered the living room, having just heard her uncle’s words. Seeing that everyone was in the living room except for the few aunts and the second aunt, they were even more curious about what they couldn’t tell her.

“Wanqing, your accountant aunt said that the village is already spreading rumors about you and Jiang Zhiqing. So I came back to discuss it with you and your grandpa. Just now, your aunt said that Jiang Zhiqing is a good person and you could get married, but your uncle said that he’s not what we see. …” Looking at her mother’s furrowed brow, He Wanqing interrupted. “Is that why you’re hiding it from me?”

“Wanqing, we don’t know what Jiang Zhiqing thinks yet. Your grandpa asked your seventh brother to go talk to him at noon, but he wasn’t there in the afternoon, so they haven’t talked yet. And his identity is a bit of a problem, so I want to go ask him first.”

“No need to ask. He told me about his identity. As for the outcome, I’ll tell you tomorrow.”

“Ah, he told you? When?” Grandma He and He’s mother spoke at the same time, even asking the same question.

“It was at noon, after I beat them up.” Ignoring the curious gazes of everyone, she walked over to the kang and sat down. She held her nephew in one hand and held her grandfather’s hand in the other, comforting him, so he wouldn’t feel guilty.

“At that time!” The people in the room thought for a while, then looked at each other. Seeing that they all agreed, they looked at He Wanqing, who was comforting Grandpa He.

“Wanqing, do you think you two can make it?” Uncle He, who was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, asked cautiously.

“I don’t know yet. We’ll see tomorrow.” She didn’t mention the fact that they were going to meet tonight.

“Then we’ll wait until tomorrow. I’ll go talk to him again later.” His younger brother wasn’t around, so as the eldest uncle, he should be more concerned about his niece’s marriage.

“Okay.” She nodded in agreement, looking at her mother and the others’ anxious expressions.
