"Xiao Song, that’s what you said, so I’ll wait to drink this glass of wine for my granddaughter-in-law."
Old Sir Song was happy, he agreed with free love.
They had noticed the warmth between the little girl and his grandson lately, this little girl seed quite satisfied with his grandson.
His own grandson was handso and talented, surely he wouldn’t be looked down upon.
Jiang Xiao heard this and felt sothing was off, why did those words sound strange?
"Old Sir, have a drink, your grandson, I can tell, is a capable person. He’s handso and ambitious; soone like him, when he returns to the city, is surely officer material. Why would he be interested in my daughter?"
Jiang Xiao truly never thought that way, mainly because he didn’t want others to think he was willing to sell his daughter. Besides, this was his dear daughter, cherished like a treasure, how could he send her to suffer at soone else’s house?
If it weren’t for the fact that recruiting a son-in-law wasn’t so popular now, he would really like to find a son-in-law.
"You’re underestimating your daughter. She’s beautiful, clever, a great cook, and very capable! I’ve heard that it was your daughter who figured out how to grow those ginseng plants. I heard no one knew how to manage the ginseng seedlings, and it was your daughter who led people to cultivate those seedlings from seeds.
And it’s said that she’s very diligent in her studies. A lot of problems they couldn’t solve were directed to this little girl. I even heard that this little girl’s English is fluent. In the county, she stunned foreigners just by speaking.
This child will have a great future."
Jiang Xiao drank this glass of wine with mixed feelings, mainly because, was this really about his own daughter?
They didn’t know she was this remarkable for so many years.
Back in school, his daughter’s grades were average at best, and many tis she refused to attend school. Yet now, she seems so diligent?
And English?
When did their daughter learn English, he truly didn’t know.
Could she really speak those foreigners’ words?
Jiang Xiao felt as if he might not really understand his own daughter.
"How can she be as good as you say? The child’s just ssing around, sohow figuring things out by chance, like a blind cat coming upon a dead mouse."
Modesty is a fundantal virtue for the Chinese.
"How is it not good? What’s this about a blind cat coming upon a dead mouse? The child is talented, and you shouldn’t say that about her. My granddaughter-in-law is capable!"
Old Sir Song was displeased. He believed Jiang Xiaoxiao and his grandson were both capable kids, and he had faith in them. He wouldn’t allow anyone to speak poorly of them.
Jiang Xiao was stunned, what did he say?
He didn’t say anything.
He was just being modest, he couldn’t boast about his child in front of others, saying, "My child is the best and most capable, that’s just how it is."
He never expected that a bit of modesty could lead to such a situation, wait a minute!
That’s not right!
What did Old Sir just say about a granddaughter-in-law?
When did my daughter beco his granddaughter-in-law?
Now Jiang Xiao finally understood, Old Sir’s words had a deeper aning.
It seed he really had an eye on his daughter.
"Old Sir, don’t say anything about a granddaughter-in-law, people might laugh. How could our child marry into your family? You are a high-class family, and we are just ordinary folk, we can’t match with you.
We just hope our child can find a dependable man to live a good life with. We don’t seek wealth and glory, just a life of harmony for them as a couple."
Jiang Xiao felt it was necessary to make things clear, lest Old Sir take it seriously!
No matter how much he liked their family, it didn’t an he was going to sell his daughter to curry favor with officials.
Old Sir replied, "Don’t say that, we’re on the sa page. All we want is for the couple to live together happily, that’s good enough.
Rest assured, when your daughter marries my grandson, we’ll ensure they have a harmonious life. As elders, we’ll definitely not make things difficult for them, we’ll support them all the way. I promise here, even though my son is remarried,
his wife won’t have jurisdiction over my grandson. If she ever tries, don’t worry, my wife and I will absolutely not watch them suffer."
Jiang Xiao thought the more they talked, the more mixed up it beca. He was clearly refusing, didn’t Old Sir understand? He was not agreeing to the two of them being together. Yet, when it ca to Old Sir, it sohow turned into a discussion about the future in-law relationship.
What’s going on here?
"Old Sir, what I an is, my daughter obviously can’t marry your grandson, your grandson should find soone better."
"That’s not up to us, didn’t you just say to respect the kids’ choices, and that they have freedom to marry? They’ve been dating for a while. If it weren’t for the timing not being convenient this ti, we were hoping they could get married soon.
But this coincides with the upcoming college entrance exams, we don’t want them distracted. Rest assured, when they marry, the dowry and three big items, 36 legs, nothing will be missing.
My wife has already said after this month, she will return to Jingbei to prepare a new house for them, definitely won’t let Xiao Xiao be wronged."
Old Sir straightforwardly laid it out.
Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded, slamming the table.
"Jiang Xiaoxiao, get in here."
This kid is ssing around!
How could he not know this kid was in a relationship?
Such a big issue, yet didn’t tell the parents.
The older daughter had already been in such a situation, with no option but to marry, had a child, so there was no choice, couldn’t really force a divorce, that would ruin a family, ruin a child.
But for the younger daughter, their plan was for her to find soone closer to ho, so they could look after her. After all, young girls and older ones are not the sa, without the ho family to back them up, they feared the little girl would be bullied.
But now what’s going on, Jiang Xiaoxiao actually found Song Moting, whose grandparents clearly belong to a high official family.
Wouldn’t she suffer when she goes there?
And didn’t you just hear what Old Sir said? His grandson has a stepmother, and stepmothers are not the sa as one’s own, if their own mothers are difficult to get along with, let alone a stepmother.
If she’s constantly picking on you, what’s a daughter-in-law supposed to do? Besides swallowing the anger, would you even go and fight with the mother-in-law?
This kid, why not use her brain, still like when she was young...
Going solely by what she likes, can this fondness fill the stomach?
Jiang Xiaoxiao was happily eating with Fan Xiuying, her mother made spicy rabbit cubes today, a great dish with rice, and she had two bowls herself.
Then she heard her father shout, and from the sound, she knew her father was furious.
Her father hadn’t raised his voice many tis in this lifeti, the last ti was because she didn’t listen to the elders and insisted on replacing her brother to go to the countryside.
Her father was furious, and in the end, her defiance nearly angered him into a stupor.
It had been many years since she’d seen him that angry, why was he angry now?
Instantly she understood, glancing at Song Moting.
No need to say, got into trouble, huh!
Probably because Old Sir couldn’t resist saying sothing to her dad.
