Chapter 278 Bringing Cousins Back to the Village
Jiang Weinan came back and said accusingly, "Why didn't you call me after you left?"
Xie Jiaojiao made him a cup of tea and poured herself one as well: "I saw He Hu pulling you to talk, and I was worried about your cousin coming back alone. What if they started fighting? Also, what did He Hu say to you just now?"
Speaking of this, Jiang Weinan sighed.
He took a sip of tea and said, "I just asked about the relationship between our families."
Xie Jiaojiao placed one hand on the table and fanned herself with the other hand: "I also heard about this from Ruonan. To be honest, if I were your grandfather or second uncle, I would definitely not agree to this marriage after what happened with your mother!"
Jiang Ruonan didn't say anything, but frowned: "When did this incident between Yan'er and He Hu happen?"
"When can it be? It's just the aftereffects of He Hu's heroic rescue of the damsel in distress that day!" Xie Jiaojiao rolled her eyes.
Jiang Weinan was somewhat speechless: "You women just like this kind of plot, the hero saving the beauty and giving yourself to her!"
"No, no."
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "If she is ugly, it is not called a hero saving a beauty. We can only call her a warrior at most and give her some money to get rid of her. But if she is beautiful, then it is called a hero saving a beauty and we may pledge our love to her!"
"You guys still look at appearance?"
"That's natural!"
Jiang Weinan was suddenly speechless.
Xie Jiaojiao said, "And Qiuxiang said that He Hu took the initiative to ask Li Yan'er out, and Li Yan'er went several times! I think they like each other a little bit. You might as well write a letter to your grandfather and second uncle and explain the reason clearly. If your grandfather and second uncle really don't agree, they will naturally send someone to take your cousin back."
Jiang Weinan felt that it was okay, after all, he couldn't control Li Yan'er. Then Jiang Weinan said to Xie Jiaojiao: "Tell Qiuxiang to keep a close eye on Yan'er and stop meeting with He Hu in private. It will damage her reputation."
"Don't worry, I know all this!"
Jiang Weinan did not waste any time and immediately sat down at the desk to start grinding ink to write the letter. Xie Jiaojiao asked the servant to bring some water so that she could wash herself. The weather was so hot and she was already soaked after running around outside all day.
The next morning, Jiang Weinan asked Manager Wang to send the letter out.
Xie Jiaojiao thought that since there was nothing to do in the county town anyway, she might as well take Jiang Ruonan and Li Yan'er back to the village. This would cut off the chances of Li Yan'er and He Hu meeting each other in the next few days. She could just wait until her grandfather and second uncle replied to her letters and everything else would be settled.
After all, Jiang Caifeng wrote to her asking her to take good care of Li Yan'er for them. If something really happens between Li Yan'er and He Hu, she would blame her for not taking good care of her.
When this matter was told to Jiang Weinan, he raised his hands 100 times in agreement, and even Jiang Ruonan agreed.
Only Li Yan'er looked gloomy, pursed her lips, and was speechless when she heard that she had to go back to town.
When the whole family drove the carriage out of Jiangbo City, Li Yan'er lifted the curtain and looked outside several times.
Finally, Jiang Ruonan clapped her hands and said, "Alright, cousin, you must remember that you are the eldest daughter of the Jiang family and a lady from the capital. Don't do things like that and lose your identity."
Li Yan'er didn't say anything. Just like Jiang Ruonan said, she was a lady from a noble family after all. If she lost face, the Jiang family would lose face. If she were in the capital these days, even if a man asked her out, she would not dare to go out to meet him. It was just that the mountains were high and the roads were long, so she was being willful for once.
Jiang Weinan held a fan and gently fanned Xie Jiaojiao, and said to Li Yaner: "Your cousin's wife and her family's village are very interesting. When the time comes, I will take you and Ruonan to the mountains to pick mushrooms and go to the river to catch fish. We will forget about this matter in a few days."
Jiang Ruonan nodded: "Yes, and the pancakes made by Aunt Sun, I have been talking about them for a long time."
Xie Jiaojiao heard him say: "Then you can't be left out, let my mother make more for you when we get home."
Seeing how interested they were, Li Yan'er also became interested and asked, "Is the village really fun?"
Xie Jiaojiao patted her hands: "Don't worry, you can't stay idle. If you feel bored, you can come with me to work in the fields..."
Li Yan'er immediately pouted: "I don't want it, they are all playing, why do I have to work!"
This made everyone in the car laugh.
Xie Jiaojiao wiped away the tears from her eyes: "I was kidding, there's not much land at home, and even if there was work to do, it wouldn't be your turn!"
Li Yan'er's complexion finally returned to normal.
When they arrived in town, Xie Jiaojiao asked Lai Fu to go to the pharmacy again, preparing to take Xie Zhiyi back with him to rest for two days. However, he said that he was following his master to see patients and learn pharmacology, so he couldn't go back with him. Xie Jiaojiao watched from outside the door with a smile on her face: "Zhiyi has grown up. He is no longer the boy who likes to play and eat."
Jiang Weinan patted her shoulder: "This is a good thing!"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded slightly, asked Lai Fu to leave a lot of snacks in the car, and then left.
After Xie Zhiyi looked up at their carriage, he continued to learn from his master.
In the carriage, Li Yan'er asked, "Cousin, isn't your brother going back with us?"
To be honest, these past few days, Li Yan'er has been calling her cousin-in-law, which has made Xie Jiaojiao feel very uncomfortable. After all, half a month ago, she had competed with her for Jiang Weinan...
"He's been busy with his studies recently, so he won't go back with us."
Li Yan'er nodded, and the carriage continued to move forward. When the road was lined with green wheat fields, Li Yan'er couldn't help but lift the curtain: "This looks really beautiful."
Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "You look good, but in the minds of the farmers, they think this year is a good harvest year."
Occasionally, there were villagers working in the fields. Li Yan'er looked at them and asked, "Cousin, did you work in the fields like this before?"
Xie Jiaojiao took a look and nodded slightly.
Li Yan'er frowned instantly and looked at Xie Jiaojiao pitifully. When she was about to speak, Xie Jiaojiao stopped her: "Although I am tired from working like this, you don't want me to feel sorry for you. On the contrary, I think that I feel a sense of accomplishment when I grow food through my own labor and then eat it."
Jiang Weinan nodded to Xie Jiaojiao: "My wife is really good!"
Xie Jiaojiao blinked at him.
Jiang Ruonan and Li Yan'er turned to the side at the same time, pretending to vomit...
Jiang Weinan remained calm as he continued to fan Xie Jiaojiao, saying, "Go ahead and vomit. Vomit more now. When you get home later, you can eat more of the food my mother cooks. She will be happy to see you eat so much!"
Jiang Ruonan, Li Yaner: ...
