Chapter 125 I don't want to fulfill her wish
Shen Meng looked at the door and signaled Zhu Juying to hide all the good things, otherwise they would be looted within a night, and making a noise would be of no use.
"Thank you so much, Xiao Meng. You've given our family so many good things. We feel so bad for always taking so much."
"Aunt, you can't say that. During the days I was sick, the children were taken care of by you and Xiangxiang, and Uncle Guai. When Zhenping was not home, he always wanted to help me with anything at home. I am grateful. These things were sent by others at noon today. There are too many and we can't finish them. Xiangxiang is sick, so this canned food is the best for her."
Zhu Juying had just had an argument with Huang Maochun, and all the anger that had been pent up in her stomach suddenly became much better. Her family was not blessed enough to have such a good girl, and she enjoyed Liu Sanjin from the bottom of her heart.
"By the way, Auntie, I just heard Mao Chun say that you guys were arguing. What were you arguing about?"
"It's all because of Xiangxiang's marriage. Your uncle and I introduced a family to Xiangxiang. You know this. Both families are satisfied. The young man is kind, and the old couple in-laws are honest people. Although their family background is not rich, they are a harmonious family. When the sisters-in-law came, they also brought small gifts for Xiangxiang, and the betrothal gifts were not small. But such a good marriage was ruined by Xingchang's daughter-in-law. The in-laws wanted to find a diligent girl to live a down-to-earth life. How could they live in peace with such a trouble-making sister-in-law? So they called off the engagement, didn't they? Alas!"
Although a long time had passed, Zhu Juying still felt sad and pity about this marriage. It was really hard to find a marriage even with a lantern, but it was ruined by Huang Maochun. This woman was probably the retribution of their Lu family.
"It's not long since the engagement was broken off, so this matter should be kept secret. But Xingchang's wife went around telling everyone. The old woman at the entrance of the village kept talking about Xiangxiang. She's a good girl, and she was afraid that we would get into trouble, so she said nothing and went to work honestly. Today, Xingchang's wife said that she found a matchmaker for Xiangxiang, and that he's her cousin's son. I've seen that man once, and he's so ugly that it makes people sad just by looking at him. He's also so short that you could kick him away like a ball if you weren't paying attention. Oh my God, how can this guy marry my Xiangxiang!"
Lu Xiangxiang felt so uncomfortable that tears welled up in her eyes as she listened to Zhu Juying's words. Zhu Juying also sobbed twice.
But what she said was so funny that Shen Meng almost laughed out loud at an inappropriate time. Suddenly she remembered something and looked at Zhu Juying with shining eyes.
"Aunt, speaking of matchmaking, I have a candidate here. Although he is one year younger than Xiangxiang, he is handsome and tall. His family just built a brick house. His sisters-in-law get along well, and his parents-in-law are kind. I can guarantee that my eldest sister-in-law is not a nosy person."
Both mother and daughter stared at Shen Meng with wide eyes. They were just chatting, that's all, why did it bring up the issue of matchmaking? But no matter what, compared with Huang Maochun, Shen Meng is more reliable.
Zhu Juying rubbed her hands, glanced at Lu Xiangxiang and said, "Which village are you from? How many people are there in your family? How old are your parents-in-law? Xiaomeng, tell me about it."
"Okay, but Auntie, Xiangxiang is feeling uncomfortable. Please give her more water. Open the can and let her eat a little. She will feel better."
"Hey, hey, hey, I'll open it right away. I'll open it right away."
Zhu Juying took out the canned oranges from the kang cabinet and turned to the kitchen to get a knife. She stopped at the door. She couldn't take the kitchen knife, otherwise Huang Maochun would know and Xiangxiang would be able to eat it. Shen Meng took it in her hand, patted it up and down a few times, and twisted the lid hard. It opened with a "click".
"Xiangxiang, drink some canned soup first, it will make you feel better. Don't cover yourself so thickly. Auntie will go get the basin and a towel, and bring some chopsticks."
Zhu Juying was quick-witted and reacted immediately. She brought over a basin of water and wiped Lu Xiangxiang's face and neck. She leaned against the kang cabinet and took a few bites of orange slices with chopsticks.
"Xiao Meng, tell me quickly, which family is it from?"
"Shen Jiaji, my brother from my mother's side, Shen Xiaobin, my parents are honest people, and my two sisters-in-law are easy to get along with. I am not satisfied with what my aunt said. Some time ago, my mother found a matchmaker for him, and they were all satisfied. But the girl's family knew that Zhenping was in the army, and they wanted Zhenping to help arrange a job for her and help the girl's brother join the army. They had a lot of requests. When my brother saw that it was not possible, he told the matchmaker that he didn't want to."
When Zhu Juying heard Shen Meng's first words, she was very satisfied. Shen Meng was a good child, knowledgeable, polite, kind and moderate. He would not be a bad brother in the family. But when she heard that he had just rejected a marriage proposal to a nosy family, her heart skipped a beat.
"Xiao Meng, not to mention your brother, just by standing here, I know your brother is not bad, but you also know that with the situation in our family, if Xiangxiang marries into your family, your family will also be in trouble."
"Sister-in-law, I know you mean well. With a sister-in-law like me around, I'm afraid I won't be able to marry into a good family in my lifetime."
Shen Meng shook her head and said, "Girl, you are so young and you are still afraid of failure. I know you are afraid that your affairs will cause discord between your brother and sister-in-law, but Xiangxiang, this is your lifelong event. If you really listen to Huang Maochun and marry her cousin's son, you will make your parents heartbroken for the rest of their lives. So, in a few days when you recover from your illness, you, Uncle Guai, Aunt Guai and Xiangxiang, will follow me to my mother's house to take a look at Xiaobin. If you like him, we can talk about the rest later. If you don't like him, there is no point in talking here."
Zhu Juying agreed without hesitation. Shen Meng was right. Her daughter was doing it for her brother and nephew, not for herself. But she didn't care anymore. She went back to discuss the division of the family property with the village leaders and divided everything up. As long as Xiangxiang married well, she was willing to do anything.
Besides, she had seen Xiangxiang the squash from Huangmaochun’s cousin’s house. If she had met Shen Meng’s brothers and compared the two, she would definitely choose the better one!
Lu Xiangxiang was also unwilling to follow Huang Maochun's wishes. It was the most important thing in her life, and she also wanted to find a man who understood her and was pleasing to her for the rest of her life.
Shen Meng told Lu Zhenping about this when she got home. He also thought it was a good thing. Both Lu Xiangxiang and Shen Xiaobin were good people. If these two people could hit it off, both families would have solved a problem.
Seeing that Lu Zhenping was also satisfied, she immediately ordered him to go home and report the news.
Three days later, Shen Meng and Lu Zhenping took their group of children on Uncle Guai's ox cart, along with Aunt Juying and the beautifully dressed Lu Xiangxiang.
