Chapter 94: Xiang's mother is arrested, Jiang Meihua arranges engagement
A week later, Jiang Daguo received a letter from Jiang Meilan from school.

Liu Xihua said with a smile, "She will go home during the National Day holiday, why is she writing a letter? Meilan is missing home?"

Jiang Daguo was opening the envelope, and Jiang Xiaoxiao moved a small chair and squeezed over to take a look.

"Oh, it didn't mention missing home, but it talked about some other things." Jiang Daguo looked at the contents of the letter, his expression gradually becoming surprised.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was not surprised. The evidence was conclusive. Sooner or later, one of Xiang's mother and Xiang Dongying would go to jail.

The letter said that Xiang Mu's great-nephew Xiang Dongsheng was not careful with his mouth and told his classmates about Xiang Mu's affairs.

Xiang's mother confessed her crime at the police station. Because Xiang Dongying's daughter died at birth, Xiang's mother was worried that Xiang Dongying would be sad, so she secretly stole a child from the next ward and pretended that it was Xiang Dongying's. Xiang's mother did everything by herself, and Xiang Dongying knew nothing. Qi's father, considering the friendship between the two families, did not allow Qi Chengye and Qi's mother to embarrass Xiang Dongying. In the end, Xiang's mother was put in jail.

Jiang Xiaoxiao curled her lips. Is Xiang Dongying trying to distance herself from the matter?
"What does the letter say?" Liu Xihua walked over and asked, holding her waist.

Jiang Daguo stood up and helped her sit down. "Your belly is big. Sit down and walk less." He showed the letter to Liu Xihua. "Meilan doesn't study hard. She just chats about nonsense with her classmates."

Liu Xihua glanced at it casually, returned the letter to Jiang Daguo, and said with a smile, "It's a good thing that she made friends so quickly. She's a little girl so far away from home, she would be lonely without friends."

Jiang Daguo thought about it and felt that what Liu Xihua said made sense.

However, he was still worried that Jiang Meilan would just play around and go crazy without anyone to supervise her, so he wrote back, urging Jiang Meilan to study hard.
-
September is over quickly.

As the National Day on October 1st approaches, the streets gradually become lively.

The town party committee and street office organized people to hang red lanterns on the street lights.

Comrades from the street office carried gongs and walked through the streets shouting slogans, reminding every household and shop to pay attention to environmental hygiene and have a clean and tidy National Day.

In fact, even without the reminder from the Street Office, Jiang Daguo and Liu Xihua would have cleaned the shop carefully, because October 1st was the day when Jiang Meihua and Tai Wenguang were getting engaged.

On September 30th, Jiang Meihua closed her stall early, picked up a bucket and a rag, and wiped all the tables, chairs and stools in the shop again and again.

Liu Xihua wanted to go forward to help, but Jiang Meihua hurriedly pushed her down on a chair and said, "Sister-in-law, you are going to give birth next month. Don't do the physical work. I will do it. If you really want to help, just remind me if there is anything I have missed."

Seeing Jiang Meihua's nervous look, Liu Xihua suppressed her laughter and said, "Everything is fine, no problem."

But Jiang Meihua always felt that it was not perfect, and she looked at the shop of more than ten square meters again and again.

Jiang Xiaoxiao sat with Liu Xihua. After looking around, she walked over with a smile, took Jiang Meihua's hand, and pointed at the table and chairs.

[Second Aunt, it would look better if there was a tablecloth on the table]

[You can put potted plants in the corners. Grandma Tai likes it.]

[Make some good tea for Grandma Tai tomorrow]

Jiang Meihua's eyes lit up. Yes, this is a good idea.

Tai Wenguang often told her that Tai's mother liked a literary and fresh atmosphere and was not particular about food and drink.

"What a clever little girl." Jiang Meihua touched Jiang Xiaoxiao's little head, quickly went upstairs, took out the cloth in stock in the box, and tore off a piece to make a tablecloth.

The scraps of cloth with small white flowers on a blue background spread on the table look very elegant.

Jiang Daguo prepared drinks, snacks and fruits.

The engagement will be held tomorrow, and the relatives of both families will be invited to a banquet. A few days ago, Jiang Daguo rode his bike back to the village to inform his parents and relatives.

Uncle Jiang readily agreed to come.

This time, Aunt Jiang did not shy away and said she would come to meet the Tai family.

The second daughter went on a blind date with a commercial grain manufacturer. She was quite proud of it and could show off in the village.

But to Jiang Daguo's surprise, his older sister Jiang Meizhi and her new boyfriend were also coming.

After hearing this, Liu Xihua was very worried. "It's only natural for my parents to come. It's also reasonable for Meizhi to come, but why did Meizhi bring her boyfriend? We don't even know him."

Jiang Xiaoxiao clenched her fists and became worried.

She was not worried about Jiang Meizhi's new boyfriend. Although the man was dressed up nicely, he was actually a fool. He did everything according to Jiang Meizhi's instructions and was a man without his own opinion.

But Jiang Meizhi is different. She is not an easy person to deal with. She is full of bad intentions and always tries every possible way to take advantage of her brothers and sisters. The Tai family are all people from the unit and have a wide network of contacts. When Jiang Meizhi meets the Tai family, she will definitely speak nonsense and cause trouble!
Jiang Daguo was a little embarrassed, "They must come, I can't stop them."

Jiang Meihua thought about the last time Jiang Meizhi wanted to marry her to the blacksmith. She had always been resentful of Jiang Meizhi and said that she didn't want to see Jiang Meizhi coming.

Jiang Xiaoxiao saw how worried they looked and came up with an idea.

She took a pen and paper, wrote a few crooked words "Ask my uncle", and handed it to Jiang Meihua to read.

Jiang Meihua's eyes lit up. Looking for her brother-in-law?
Didn't my eldest brother-in-law divorce my eldest sister? What's the point of looking for him?

Jiang Xiaoxiao clenched her fists anxiously.

[Second aunt, my eldest sister cheated on my eldest uncle during marriage and did something to let him down. I have always been afraid of him. Find an excuse to invite him over. When my eldest aunt sees him, she will definitely run away.]

Jiang Meihua thought about it and decided that this was the only option.

But, why was Jiang Meizhi’s ex-husband Huang Mingcai invited?
Jiang Meihua discussed the matter with Jiang Daguo.

Jiang Daguo couldn't come up with any good ideas either.

Jiang Xiaoxiao saw this and became anxious. What's so difficult about this?
[Dad, just tell him that we want to buy beans in our shop, and ask him to send some beans over, and come to the shop to pay.]

[The Huang family grew a lot of soybeans, so we bought some to grind into soy milk.]

[Even if the eldest aunt saw the eldest uncle, she would not have thought that it was arranged by my father on purpose. ]

Jiang Daguo listened to his daughter's thoughts and thought that this was a good idea.

On the evening of the 30th, Jiang Daguo rode his bike to Huang Mingcai's home in the village.

Although Huang Mingcai and Jiang Meizhi had a huge divorce, and Aunt Jiang and her sisters had a fight with the Huang family, there was no conflict between the other members of the Jiang family and the Huang family.

When Huang Mingcai took his son to the street and passed by Jiang Daguo's shop, Jiang Daguo invited the father and son into the shop for breakfast.

When Jiang Daguo came to Huang's house and told Huang Mingcai that he wanted to buy 100 kilograms of beans, Huang Mingcai nodded without saying a word, "Okay, when do you want it, brother? It's getting dark now, and I can't find so many beans right away."

"Are you free tomorrow morning? Around nine o'clock? Deliver it to my shop and I'll give you cash."

"Okay, I'll go to the street tomorrow and deliver it to your shop on the way." Huang Mingcai agreed.
