Chapter 117 Mother is Happy
The two parted on bad terms after discussing the postponement of their wedding.
Jiang Weinan was so angry when he saw Xie Jiaojiao walking away.
"Laifu, did I give her face? She gives me the cold shoulder all day long!"
Lai Fu didn't dare to respond to this, and it was clear that Miss Xie was speaking nicely. He was his young master, but he always got angry at the slightest provocation!
Jiang Weinan was so angry that he turned around and went to look for Zhang Fei and He Hu.
Xie Jiaojiao went to the furniture store and didn't ask Niu Fusheng to go with her. After what happened yesterday, she would never ask Niu Fusheng for help with anything again.
The furniture shop had all kinds of small furniture. Xie Jiaojiao ordered quite a few of them. She also saw makeup boxes for sale, so she bought another one. The one she bought for Sun Ruhua before, Sun Ruhua took it back to the old house. When she left, she thought it was too troublesome, so she didn't take it with her anyway.
After buying everything, the shopkeeper was very happy and said with a smile that he would deliver the goods to her door. Xie Jiaojiao paid the money, gave her the address, and left.
Thinking that there was not much flour left at home, Xie Jiaojiao went to buy a few pounds of flour. When passing by a jewelry store, she went in and bought a pair of silver bracelets for Sun Ruhua.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at the silver bracelet, thinking that Sun Ruhua would definitely like it. As soon as she looked up, she saw a familiar figure. Wasn't that Xie Meng'er and Chen Hongju?
She seemed to have not seen these two people for a long time, ever since they were driven out of the village.
Seeing the two men turning around, Xie Jiaojiao quickly found a place to hide to avoid being seen.
I saw Chen Hongju and Xie Meng'er walking along the street visiting the small vendors on both sides of the street.
Judging from their attire, it was better than when they were in the village.
Xie Jiaojiao stood there and observed for a few seconds, then turned and left.
When we arrived at the town entrance, Sun Ruhua was already waiting.
"Mother bought some cotton."
Xie Jiaojiao nodded. When she came here just now, she bought a few buns and shared them with Sun Ruhua. They ate while walking towards the village.
Uncle Niu's cow was still on loan, so there was no ox cart to ride during this period. The two of them walked towards the village, talking and laughing along the way.
But after walking for a while, someone called out from behind.
When Xie Jiaojiao turned around, wasn’t it Lai Fu?
Laifu Jiang Weinan's carriage came up to them and said, "Thank you, Miss. The young master asked me to see you and your aunt off."
Xie Jiaojiao didn't want to get on the carriage at first, but then she thought, if she didn't get on, Lai Fu would go back and tell Jiang Weinan about it, and with Jiang Weinan's childish temper, he might come to her again.
In order to avoid trouble, he pulled Sun Ruhua into the carriage.
In the carriage, Sun Ruhua tentatively asked Xie Jiaojiao: "Are you and the young master of the Jiang family okay today?"
She wanted to ask just now, but she was afraid that Xie Jiaojiao was annoyed with her, so she waited until now to ask.
Xie Jiaojiao said directly: "I wanted to postpone the marriage with him, but he disagreed!"
"Still pushing?" Sun Ruhua frowned.
"My daughter, this marriage cannot be postponed. If it is postponed any further, you will be 23 years old! When mother was your age, you were almost born!"
Xie Jiaojiao was speechless after hearing this...
"Mom, don't worry about this."
Sun Ruhua shut up immediately.
When the two men arrived at the village, Lai Fu drove the carriage back.
The villagers watched the two of them get out of the carriage.
Everyone muttered, "Didn't the He family say that Xie Jiaojiao's engagement was broken off?"
"That's all nonsense. Look, isn't this all good?"
"That's right. The wedding date has been set. How can we cancel the engagement just like that?"
Everyone nodded and sighed, thanking Jiaojiao for her good fortune.
"Oh, if I had known that her madness would be cured, I would have..."
"What do you mean, your son is so ugly, how can someone like him?"
"Hey, you're talking..."
Everyone just took it as a joke.
How good is Xie Jiaojiao at making money now?
She can earn money, so she has the fate to marry the young master in town!
As for the others, you can only envy them...
In the afternoon, the furniture ordered from the town arrived. All the furniture was moved into the house. Sun Ruhua took a handkerchief and wiped each piece of furniture one by one.
Xie Jiaojiao saw the box, put the silver bracelet she bought for Sun Ruhua in it, and handed it to Sun Ruhua.
"Mom, I bought this for you!"
"For me?" Sun Ruhua looked at Xie Jiaojiao in surprise.
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and nodded: "This one is better looking than the previous one."
When talking about the previous one, Sun Ruhua felt a little sorry for her daughter.
Seeing that her eyes were filled with tears, Xie Jiaojiao was afraid that Sun Ruhua would cry, so she hurriedly said, "Mom, open it and have a look."
Sun Ruhua found a stool and sat down. There was a sound coming from the box in her hand.
"Is there anything else in there?"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded, and Sun Ruhua immediately opened it and saw a pair of silver bracelets!
It turned out to be a pair of silver bracelets. When she first married into the Xie family, she also had a silver bracelet, but because Old Xie was ill, she pawned it!
"Mom, do you like it?"
Sun Ruhua's eyes immediately turned red. She didn't want to cry, so she quickly explained to Xie Jiaojiao, "Mom is happy."
Xie Jiaojiao picked up the pair of silver bracelets with a smile: "I'm glad you're happy. Come, I'll put them on for you."
Sun Ruhua stretched out her hand. Her hand had grown some flesh since she came back and was much fatter than when she had just returned from the old house.
Xie Jiaojiao put it on her and said, "Mom, does it look good?"
Sun Ruhua wiped her tears with one hand and said, "They are beautiful. Everything my daughter chooses is beautiful."
Xie Jiaojiao stretched out her sleeve and wiped the corners of her eyes: "Okay, mother, don't think about those unhappy things in the past! Things will get better and better in the future. Look at you, now that you are back, some of the white hair on your head has grown black again."
Sun Ruhua nodded and was about to take off the silver bracelet.
"Put it on!"
Sun Ruhua smiled and said, "I'll keep it for you. When you get married, you can use it as a dowry!"
"Just take what's given to you. Our family has a living now. Are you still worried that I won't have these in the future?"
In the end, Sun Ruhua couldn't persuade Xie Jiaojiao and put the things away.
"Mom, I bought some vegetable seeds last time. Let's plant them all in the field tomorrow."
Sun Ruhua nodded, put down her makeup box, and began to wipe the tables and chairs.
Xie Jiaojiao was also busy: "When Zhiyi takes a day off in the middle of the month, we will hold the housewarming party. What do you think?"
There's nothing wrong with that!
"As you wish, I'll go to town and order some pork."
"Order half a head, and then treat everyone in the village to a good meal."
Although half a pig might cost more than one or two taels of silver, Sun Ruhua thought that the villagers had planted sugarcane this year, and her family would get a commission from the sugarcane.
He nodded immediately: "Okay, as you say, we'll do a good job of it then!"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded.
In the following time, Sun Ruhua was busy making new quilt covers and other things for the new home.
Xie Jiaojiao was busy planting the vegetable seeds she bought last time in the fields.
Looking at the watermelon seeds, Xie Jiaojiao thought about clearing a small area in the backyard of the house to grow the watermelon seedlings first.
She didn't know much about how to cultivate seedlings, but she had Sun Ruhua, who was an expert at it, so she taught her step by step.
