Chapter 24: A Perfect Match

After saying this, Aunt Chunhua couldn’t help but laugh. It wasn’t malicious, just a little teasing. She’d practically watched both Lu Jianshen and Jiang Xiangxiang grow up, and now that they were together and getting married, it was clearly good news.

Initially, Jiang Xiangxiang didn’t feel much. Their relationship felt more transactional; she hadn’t expected anything significant from Lu Jianshen.

After all, without a foundation of feelings, being together felt more like making do.

However, Lu Jianshen was willing to give her respect, which was naturally good. She appreciated that.

Aunt Chunhua looked around, noticing Ye Meiping was absent, and taking Jiang Xiangxiang’s hand, said, “I heard about yesterday. Xiangxiang, don’t be foolish. Your mother and sister are unreliable. The Lu family is a rare good family; those two are probably up to no good.”

Jiang Xiangxiang nodded. “Auntie, I understand. Don’t worry, I won’t listen to them.”

Ye Meiping and Jiang Rourou wouldn’t be able to scheme against her. It was practically impossible. She wasn’t that easy to bully, especially since those two seemed rather dim-witted.

Jiang Xiangxiang knew the mother and daughter wouldn’t give up easily; they probably had some underhanded tricks up their sleeves. But she wasn’t worried; she’d handle whatever came her way. It wasn’t a big deal.

Aunt Chunhua nodded in agreement. “Xiangxiang is quiet, but she never hesitates when it matters. No wonder Lu Jianshen chose her.”

While they were talking, Lu Jianshen arrived, carrying several bags. He walked through the alley towards them. Jiang Xiangxiang saw him immediately and subconsciously took two steps forward.

“You’re here, that’s all that matters. Why bring so many things?”

“It’s a matter of proper etiquette. Besides, if others have them, you should too.”

“But…” Jiang Xiangxiang wanted to say that if Ye Meiping saw those things, she didn’t know what trouble it would cause. With her personality, she would definitely confiscate everything.

Then she thought, whether she confiscated them or not, she would take everything anyway, not leaving a single thing behind, so it didn’t really matter.

“It’s fine. It’s a matter of repaying their kindness. This is only right.” Lu Jianshen already knew about yesterday’s events. After Tian Xiu’er returned, she told him everything. He knew and had heard that Jiang Xiangxiang had a hard life, but he hadn’t expected her family to be so unreasonable.

Was that even human behavior? No wonder she wanted to join him in the army. Who would willingly leave their hometown unless absolutely forced?

He was angry, but he also knew that if he didn’t maintain appearances, it would only invite gossip and give Ye Meiping and the others a chance to make trouble.

Lu Jianshen didn’t want to see that happen, so he chose to swallow his anger for now, planning to marry her first. Besides, most of the things he brought were for Jiang Xiangxiang. Thinking about it that way, it didn’t seem so bad.

Jiang Xiangxiang looked at Lu Jianshen like he was an idiot. Why be so generous? Was he foolish and rich? And what about repaying kindness?

Even if she were the original Jiang Xiangxiang, she had already repaid Ye Meiping’s kindness many times over. Years of hard work—wasn’t that enough?

Seeing her pouting, Lu Jianshen hesitated before gently tugging her sleeve. “Comrade Jiang, don’t be angry, okay? I promise, after we get married, I’ll listen to you. You’ll decide on all family matters.”

Jiang Xiangxiang: “…”

She was speechless. Was he acting cute? Lu Jianshen was considering things from her perspective. She had no reason to be unhappy; it would be ungrateful if she were.

Jiang Xiangxiang quickly adjusted her emotions, shaking her head. “Let’s go inside. Let’s talk inside. Standing at the door looks bad.”

Aunt Chunhua quickly chimed in, “Yes, yes, yes, come in, come in. You two are a perfect match! My work as a matchmaker is truly worthwhile.”

Jiang Xiangxiang blushed. Aunt Chunhua was skilled at speaking nicely; she felt a little shy.

Seeing her rosy cheeks, Lu Jianshen also felt a little embarrassed, clearing his throat. “Auntie, we young people don’t know much about wedding procedures. We need your help.”

Aunt Chunhua: “No problem, no problem. This is a good thing. There’s nothing special to worry about. Normally, you’d propose, the woman agrees, then we choose a good date, and both families sit down and talk, but…”

She hadn’t expected Ye Meiping to simply disappear. Wasn’t that disrespectful to Jiang Xiangxiang? It was fine in their village, where everyone knew Jiang Xiangxiang’s situation, so no one would say much.

But if it were someone else, it would be a huge loss of face.

Jiang Xiangxiang hadn’t experienced a 1970s wedding. Aunt Chunhua’s words made her feel a little awkward. She felt even more disdain for Ye Meiping and Jiang Rourou. They were good for nothing but causing trouble.

It seemed she hadn’t disciplined them enough. She should have warned them yesterday to behave; then there wouldn’t have been so many problems.

Lu Jianshen, fearing she was unhappy, said, “It’s fine. Ultimately, this is between us. We can decide ourselves, without worrying about others.”

Ye Meiping clearly disliked him; it would be good if she didn’t create obstacles. Expecting her agreement was a pipe dream.

Lu Jianshen didn’t expect to have a good relationship with his future mother-in-law, as she wasn’t good to Jiang Xiangxiang. He wasn’t trying to curry favor; he just didn’t want them to find fault. Everything else would depend on Jiang Xiangxiang.

If she wanted to maintain contact with her family, he wouldn’t stop her, provided Jiang Xiangxiang wasn’t taken advantage of.

Hearing this, Jiang Xiangxiang felt relieved. Thankfully, she wasn’t marrying a petty man. It seemed there wouldn’t be many problems. Otherwise, she might have reconsidered.

Aunt Chunhua, realizing she’d misspoken, quickly recovered. “Oh, just do whatever feels right. As long as you two are happy, that’s all that matters.”
