Chapter 257: Chapter 257: She is My Fiancée (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)
“Sister-in-law! If you continue slinging mud at Little Little, I won’t be polite to you anymore!” Chiang Songhai trembled with anger.
In recent days, having seen how hard Chiang Xiao worked, no one knew how shaken and guilty he felt when he learned they had hunted such a big wild boar.
How dangerous was that?
If it weren’t for his uselessness, Chiang Xiao should have been sitting in a classroom studying, not climbing mountains to dig for herbs and hunt wild boars!
She worked so hard to earn money, surpassing countless adults and n!
How could he allow Ho Laidi to continue to insult her, saying that she flirted with n and spent their money?
Chiang Xiao was stunned for a mont, having never expected her grandfather to stand up for her with such strong words as “I won’t be polite to you,” and she didn’t react right away.
“Pah! Chiang Laoer, how exactly will you be impolite? It’s bad enough that your daughter has no sha, but even your granddaughter is just like her mother! How old is she? Even the younger uncle has co knocking at the door, calling her ‘sister-in-law’ right to her face! Tsk tsk tsk,” Ho Laidi spat as she touched her aged face with her index finger and sneered, “She’s barely sprouted any hair, yet playing the role of the little sister-in-law! Who knows, she might even have ensnared both brothers. Little slut, she’s disgraced the Chiang Family! I’ve already spoken to the clan uncle last night. We’re going to hold a family council and expel her!”
Song Xiyun found her opportunity to chi in and hurriedly added, “That’s right, the lad called her ‘sister-in-law,’ I heard it myself! And you say she’s not seducing n!”
The onlookers looked at Chiang Xiao with disbelief.
The young girl looked quite lovely, but she still seed so young; could soone really be calling her ‘sister-in-law’?
Yao Cong and Cong Weimin had been at the side all along, ready to lend a hand should the Old Chiang Family dare to make a move, but they hadn’t expected to hear such shocking news and were also stunned.
“She is my fiancée,” a stern voice declared. Following that, a tall man stepped forward.
The already cramped sick room seed even smaller in the presence of his towering figure and intimidating aura.
A military command seed to press down the air itself.
Chiang Xiao watched with wide eyes as ng Xinian, with a dark expression on his face, stirred up a tempest in her heart.
Fiancée!
“Comrade, this is no joking matter. Chiang Xiao is only thirteen, where does she get a fiancé from?” Chiang Baoguo’s heart skipped, unable to hold back his words.
ng Xinian swept him with a cold glance and said, “Child betrothal, is it any of your business?”
Over a decade ago, the Alliance Country was in chaos, with old customs aplenty. Child betrothals were not uncommon; who was to interfere?
The spectators suddenly understood.
“Impossible! When did I ever hear that Chiang Xiao was betrothed?” Ho Laidi imdiately cried out. Chiang Songhai had always been a good-for-nothing and poor to boot; who would want an alliance with his family?
ng Xinian looked towards Chiang Songhai, his gaze flickered slightly, and he spoke with an extrely convincing tone, “Grandfather, there’s no harm in ntioning that matter from the past now, right?”
Chiang Songhai, looking confused, t his eyes and subconsciously nodded, “Go ahead, say it.”
But what exactly was that past incident? Why didn’t he know about it?
All eyes were on ng Xinian.
“My own grandfather was a Supervisor Guard. Once, when accompanying the Guard Squad on a mission, they faced an enemy greatly outnumbering them, and the casualties were heavy. My grandfather was also injured. As they retreated, they passed through Peace Town and happened to et a local with so dical skills, who provided dicine. At that ti, my grandfather made an arrangent with that local to betroth their grandchildren. That local is your grandfather, and the grandchildren in question are myself and Chiang Xiao. So, when my n call Chiang Xiao ‘sister-in-law,’ do you see a problem?”
