The two parted at the station after watching the movie. Shortly after returning ho, the matchmaker arrived, inquiring about Yao Hongi’s thoughts.
Yao Hongi was quite satisfied with Lu Jiajie, but she wanted to investigate further to see if what he said was true. If it was false, such a man should certainly not be considered.
The matchmaker imdiately said: "I’m not sure about his ex-wife Ma Lili deceiving the children, but her brother-in-law is a gambling addict who had a hand chopped off by loan sharks, which is absolutely true."
Yao Hongi was shocked: "A hand chopped off?"
The matchmaker nodded: "Because the incident was so big, it spread throughout the area. Oh, his ex-wife’s family only has two daughters and no sons, and they adopted the youngest son back to the maternal family for future generations. For this golden grandson, the Ma parents even bought a big villa for this child, but it was all lost by the gambling addict. I heard that Ma Lili contributed almost half of the money for that house."
Yao Hongi recalled the question Lu Jiajie specifically asked, and sighed. This man was indeed very generous, not only did he provide substantial compensation during the divorce, but he also left the house to her, unlike her own ex-husband who was simply shaless.
The matchmaker was a distant relative of their family, with a very good reputation built over years of matchmaking, so Yao Hongi trusted her. Thus, she saved the effort of investigating this step, expressing her satisfaction with Lu Jiajie.
Lu Jiajie was satisfied with her, and once Yao Hongi agreed, he shared the matter with the two children.
Xiao Fengfeng was a bit scared: "I heard stepmothers are very bad, will she not let eat or beat , and make do lots of chores?"
Qiangqiang said nothing.
Lu Jiajie didn’t promise total peace, saying: "If she doesn’t let you eat or beats you, you should go tell Big Uncle and Big Aunt. When Dad cos back, I will drive her away."
Xiao Fengfeng looked up and said: "Dad, is that true?"
Lu Jiajie picked her up, scratched her neck playfully, and said: "Of course it’s true. In Dad’s heart, you and your brother are the most important."
Qiangqiang was initially very worried but looked up at him upon hearing this.
Lu Jiajie patted Qiangqiang’s head and said: "Don’t worry, I’m marrying Aunt Yao to have her take care of you. If she doesn’t take good care of you, I won’t keep her in the house."
He also sought information. The Yao family had a good atmosphere; three out of four children worked in state positions, only the youngest son worked at a private company. Only Yao Hongi was second-marriage and lowered her conditions, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to reach her standards!
Qiangqiang nodded.
The next day, Lu Jiajie took the two kids to et Yao Hongi. Yao Hongi was very attentive, gifting them animation dolls they liked, considering their tastes while eating, and holding Qiangqiang’s hand while crossing the street. As for Xiao Fengfeng, her father was holding her!
After this eting, the two children were less resistant to her. Although many said stepmothers were vicious, they weren’t completely assured yet.
Both were satisfied and the children didn’t object, so the two quickly registered their marriage. As it was a second marriage, they didn’t plan a wedding, just set six tables at the dinner for relatives from both sides to et. This al was mainly for eting and getting to know each other, no wedding gifts were collected.
Father Yao, Mother Yao, along with brothers and sisters-in-law, all prepared red envelopes for Qiangqiang and Xiao Fengfeng.
Lu Jiajie was very happy to see this. He didn’t care about the amount in the envelopes, but the gesture was precious.
Lu Jiaxin heard about Lu Jiajie’s wedding from Aunt i and called Wang Xiaojie: "Big Sister-in-law, Aunt i said you arranged this match?"
Wang Xiaojie laughed and said: "I asked soone to look into it. When the matchmaker introduced her to , I even went to her house and workplace to investigate, everyone said she was gentle and liked children. Her conditions exactly t Jiajie’s requirents, so I arranged a eting for them, and unexpectedly they hit it off."
"How about Qiangqiang and Xiao Fengfeng?"
Wang Xiaojie couldn’t conceal her joy: "At first, they were a bit resistant, but after interacting a few tis, they grew fond of Hongi. Xiao Fengfeng even started calling her mom, whereas Qiangqiang is still stubborn and hasn’t. But as long as there’s genuine love for them, it’s only a matter of ti before the change cos."
Lu Jiaxin trusted Wang Xiaojie’s judgnt, and the two families lived close enough that a visit could easily reveal if Yao Hongi was pretending. Of course, the most important thing was that Qiangqiang had experienced much and had his own opinions, it’s unlikely he would suffer in silence.
Lu Jiaxin thought this was very good: "The kids will be loved now, and Ma Lili coming to visit won’t matter at all."
Now the Lu family was getting better, yet Ma Lili couldn’t benefit at all, the kids were growing distant from her. Given her temper, she surely regretted it, but unfortunately, there’s no redy for regret in this world.
Hearing Ma Lili’s na made Wang Xiaojie furious: "No idea how she got the news that Jiajie was remarrying, she went to the school looking for Xiao Fengfeng again. Luckily, Xiao Fengfeng ran to the teacher as soon as she saw her, otherwise, who knows what harsh words she would have said."
The previous incident left a deep shadow in Xiao Fengfeng’s heart, she believed her mom was a bad person, which made her run to the teacher imdiately upon seeing her.
Indeed regretting, Lu Jiaxin chuckled and said: "Is the Ma family not doing well now?"
Wang Xiaojie vented: "Yan Fang had one hand chopped off, the house was used to pay the debt, now the Ma family lives with those two old ones who refuse to die. Four adults and four big kids are squeezed into three small rooms. It’s packed. And that’s not all, they freeloaded, the two old ones couldn’t bear it and started asking Ma Lili for money."
"Previously, Ma Lili always felt guilty for finishing the Ma family line, obeying those two old ones. Her youngest son took the Ma surna, thinking she helped continue the Ma line, no longer wishing to support Ma Dahua and them. Because she stopped supporting them, she fell out with Ma Dahua."
Lu Jiaxin laughed: "Didn’t expect Fifth Brother’s advice back then to be so effective."
Given the nature of Father Ma and Mother Ma, it’s impossible for Ma Dahua and her husband to keep bleeding them dry. The Ma family still has drama to watch; evil surely ets its match, it’s quite good.
Wang Xiaojie ntioned sothing else: "Xiao Zhang’s acceptance letter arrived, and the graduation banquet is set for the eighteenth. Jiaxin, I wonder if you have ti?"
Lu Jiaxin politely indicated she didn’t have ti. Indeed, she was busy, as the supermarket was preparing to enter the Mainland, He Bin’s first choice was in Magic Capital. With three companies under her branch entering the Mainland, though not everything needed her supervision, she was indeed very busy.
She smiled and said: "I already sent the ga console Lu Zhang wanted, it should arrive in the next few days."
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhang wanted the latest gaming console as a gift. Of course, such a small request from him, Lu Jiaxin would fulfill, gifting him the latest model.
Wang Xiaojie was sowhat helpless. Fortunately, Lu Zhang promised to keep the console at ho, only play during holidays, otherwise, it might need to be locked away.
