Chapter 9

Jiang Xiuhong and Jiang Xiufen felt that their cousin Xiubai was even more beautiful than the stars they saw on TV at the village chief’s house.

She is the most outstanding girl in the entire Jiang family.

Even cousin Yutong, who is prettier than the other two, is not even one-tenth as pretty as cousin Xiubai.

It’s just that cousin Xiubai has a bad temper and looks down on them, the country people.

Old Mrs. Jiang glanced at her, nodded, withdrew her gaze coldly, and continued chatting with Jiang Yutong.

Jiang Xiubai didn’t mind and walked into the hall step by step.

Jiang Youqing and Jiang Youwu are now teenagers, and they are too embarrassed to come forward.

Jiang Youdong, who is only nine years old, likes good-looking people.

As soon as Jiang Xiubai stood still in the living room, Jiang Youqing came straight up to him.

She raised her little head and said, “Cousin Xiubai, you are as beautiful as a fairy in the sky.”

Jiang Xiubai smiled and praised: “You are also good-looking.”

Jiang Youqing was very happy to be praised by his beautiful cousin.

Nodding happily: “Yeah, I think so too.”

Wang Rong came out of the kitchen at this time and greeted everyone, “Mom, eldest brother and sister-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law, it’s time to eat.”

Since there were many people today, she cooked food for two tables.

While eating, everyone in the Jiang family ate voraciously.

Wang Rong frowned as she watched.

I feel a little disdainful.

After all, he is a country person who has always lived in the countryside, and he is different from those who live in the city.

Even eating is so vulgar.

Fortunately, it only took two days.

It would be really disgusting to live together every day.

Jiang Xiubai looked at the scene in front of him, took a few bites and put down his chopsticks.

She ate a bit too much at noon and really couldn’t eat anymore.

But he didn’t leave the table and sat quietly in the corner.

After Old Lady Jiang had eaten her fill, she suddenly asked, “My third daughter-in-law, Yutong and Xiubai are getting married on the same day, but no one from your family is here?”

Wang Rong paused after hearing this, then said with a smile, “I’m here, but not as early as you did. I think my mom and brother will be here around this time tomorrow.”

Old Mrs. Jiang nodded and didn’t ask why she didn’t go with them, even though it was just the next village and not far away.

Before the Jiang family came over, they indeed forgot to come and ask.

Jiang Jianshe raised his head from his bowl and said, “Mom, there are a lot of you. I asked Xiaorong to book a few rooms for you in the hotel in the military compound. You can all sleep in the hotel tonight.”

Mrs. Jiang: “That would cost a lot of money. Actually, we can just squeeze in at home. Can’t Xiuhong and Xiufen sleep with Yutong and Xiubai?

I remember there was an empty room at home, and the older ones could sleep on the bed, and the younger ones could sleep on the floor.”

Zhang Hongyan wanted to say something, but Jiang Jianguo pulled her and she fell silent.

She was a little confused. Since her third brother was filial and even ran a hotel, why didn’t the old lady go there?

The third brother is not short of money.

She had heard from Xiuhong from the second brother’s family that his monthly salary was over a hundred yuan.

It’s more than a hundred yuan. They farm in their hometown, and the whole family can’t earn that much in a year.

Jiang Jianshe didn’t notice what the two men were doing. He looked at Old Lady Jiang and said, “Mom, don’t worry about it. We’ve been very busy at home these past few days. It would be embarrassing if people who come to help saw us all staying at home. Besides, your son can afford it, so it wouldn’t be bad for you to go over and enjoy yourself.”

Old Mrs. Jiang didn’t feel anything when she heard this, but she couldn’t say no to her third son.

Instead, he said, “That’s fine, but I can live in the spare room at home, and let your eldest brother and his wife, your second brother and his wife, and your nephews live in two rooms.”

Jiang Jianshe then nodded and said, “Okay.”

The empty room had been cleaned up a long time ago and was originally intended for the youngest son to live in. Now it’s okay to let his biological mother stay there for a few days.

After discussing this matter, we were almost done with the meal.

Wang Rong took her two sisters-in-law to collect and wash the dishes.

Then she and Jiang Jianshe took Old Lady Jiang and the others to the bathhouse for a bath.

After settling his eldest brother and his wife, and his second brother and his wife, he took Old Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Xiufen back to the Jiang family.

After entering the house, Wang Rong said to Jiang Yutong who was sitting on the sofa, “Yutong, you sleep with Xiufen and Xiuhong tonight.”

Jiang Yutong nodded and said, “Okay.”

As she said that, she got up, opened the door of her room, and took her two sisters into her room.

As for Jiang Xiubai, she had already left when everyone in the Jiang family went out to take a bath.

She knew that with this group of people coming, her house would definitely be very lively.

So I decided to go out for a stroll and get familiar with the surrounding environment.

Then she went to find her best friend who had set up a stall with the original owner before.

The other party saw her and said with a smile: “Xiu Bai, you still have time to come out and find me. Didn’t you say you are getting married soon?”

Jiang Xiubai: “My family will take care of the wedding, so I don’t need to. Xiangru, how is the renovation of the new store going?”

Jia Xiangru’s expression turned serious upon hearing this, and she said formally, “Not bad, it should be installed in the next few days, and then we can open it.”

Jiang Xiubai: “Well, I don’t have time recently, so I’ll trouble you with the new store.”

Jia Xiangru smiled and said, “That’s nothing. After all, we’ve been friends for several years, so this is what we should do.”

Jiang Xiubai also smiled and said, “Well, you just take care of it for now. When you get married in the future, I’ll take care of the store.”

Jia Xiangru smiled and patted Jiang Xiubai’s butt: “I let you tease me, you are the youngest in our dormitory, but I never expected that you would be the first to get married.”

Jiang Xiubai stepped back a few steps and explained, “Hey, I don’t want to do this. It’s just a childhood marriage arranged by my family. The man’s family thinks I’m old enough.”

Jia Xiangru: “My elders are all like this. Not long ago, I graduated from university, and my elders urged me to go home for blind dates. I always made the excuse that I was too busy with work and didn’t have time.”

Jiang Xiubai laughed and joked, “Is he either not interested or is he busy with work?”

Jia Xiangru complained, “Don’t mention it. The ones my mom introduced me to were all from my hometown. There weren’t many college graduates, just a few. They weren’t good-looking, and they were terribly narcissistic. They thought I should stay home to take care of my husband and children and take care of the whole family after I got married.”

Jiang Xiubai: “You are an outstanding student of Jingshi University, and yet others think of you like this. Wait, I will show you some outstanding young people around you.”

Jia Xiangru instantly became excited and said with a smile: “With your vision, the one you like must be good. I will wait for your good news.”

“Okay, no problem.”

After finishing this topic, the two talked about other things for a while. Jiang Xiubai saw that it was getting dark outside, so he said goodbye and went home.

When I got to the door, I heard the voice of Mrs. Jiang complaining.
