When I hurried back home, I saw a woman sitting in the yard. She was looking around anxiously. When she saw Hua Rujin's figure, she quickly came over to greet her.
Hua Rujin took a closer look and saw that it was none other than Tao, the old grandmother of the Shu family.
"Grandma, why are you free to come here today?"
Cai Baiwei collected her thoughts, hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man, and asked: "Come and sit in the room, it's cold outside."
Without waiting for Mrs. Tao's reply, Wei Shuhan led Hua Muyang out of the hall, accompanied by his uncle Shu Jiayan, who was deaf.
Hua Rujin looked at this situation as if something was wrong, so she asked Hua Muyang in a low voice: "Where are You'en and Nini?"
Hua Muyang replied obediently: "Sister, we asked the old grandmother to go to the house to rest, but she didn't want to come in, so Mr. Wei had to ask You En and Nini to go to the county government office to invite my father back."
Mrs. Tao looked at everyone hesitantly, and then said: "Just sit in the courtyard for a while, don't bother."
After saying that, he glanced at Wei Shuhan warily: "I have something to discuss with this girl Rujin."
Wei Shuhan felt like a bright mirror in his heart and led Hua Muyang back to the living room.
The four of them sat down in the courtyard, and Tao asked straight to the point: "Rujin, do you know that your cousin is about to go to the North to join the army?"
Hua Rujin and Cai Baiwei looked at each other, and Cai Baiwei quickly responded: "I did hear Jin Xuan mention this a few days ago. I don't know what the child thought. Why did he suddenly have such an idea?"
"He has always been disobedient."
Mrs. Tao looked at Hua Rujin with a worried face: "Girl, I have never treated you poorly in these years. You also know that the Shu family can only rely on him to support the family business. If he has any shortcomings,
How do you expect me and your uncle to live?"
"What does grandma mean by this?"
Hua Rujin didn't understand the meaning of the old lady's words, but it sounded like she had seduced her cousin into joining the army.
"I didn't mean to blame you."
Tao explained: "I guess he wanted to join the army because of his marriage to you."
"Grandma, please rest assured about this matter. My cousin and I are innocent. I will never forget my promise to grandma."
As soon as Hua Rujin finished speaking, Mrs. Tao waved her hands hurriedly: "No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I came here today just to discuss this matter with you mother and daughter."
Glancing outside the door, she saw that Hua Junnian had not returned yet, so she had no choice but to turn her attention to Cai Baiwei.
Although I still have some prejudice against Rujin, I can't resist my grandson's obsession, and because Rujin has some reputation now, marrying into the Shu family will not be considered as a disgrace to the Shu family's reputation.
"Bai Wei, we are both parents. I think you can understand my painstaking efforts."
Tao said earnestly: "Actually, I just hope that the children will live well. You and Junnian both know what Jinxuan is thinking. You have always put all your thoughts on this girl Rujin. I am now
I am getting old, I just hope that they can go smoothly, I don’t expect anything else.”
Cai Baiwei also heard the purpose of Tao's trip, thinking it was for Jin Xuan and Ru Jin's marriage.
She should be happy that she is willing to compromise, but the old lady still refuses to enter into a serious conversation in the living room, which shows that she does not agree with this marriage from the bottom of her heart, it is just a temporary measure, and she does not want to let Jin
Xuan Congjun just wanted to use this marriage to trip up his nephew.
As a mother, she did not want her daughter to marry into the Shu family under such circumstances.
Anyway, before the old lady made it clear, she stood up pretending not to know what she meant, and said with a smile: "Grandma and uncle will sit down for a while. I'll make a pot of tea. It's time for me to come back. If you have anything to do, you might as well wait.
It won’t be too late until he comes back.”
Mrs. Tao thought the same thing, nodded hesitantly, and let her go to the house.
Hua Rujin also realized that Mrs. Tao brought her uncle here to arrange a marriage between the two families. Now she knew that she was not Hua Junnian's biological flesh and blood, and her cousin relationship with her elegant cousin was not counted as such.
The thought of getting married to him always makes me feel a little uncomfortable.
I had never thought of having such plans with him.
Even when he said he was going to the north to join the army, she never thought it was because of their marriage.
Shu Jiayan liked this girl the most and believed from the bottom of his heart that she was his daughter-in-law. When he learned that his mother had brought him here to propose marriage for his son, he was filled with joy and impatiently grabbed Hua Rujin's hand and said with a smile:
"Rujin, you understand what your grandmother means. She wants you to be the daughter-in-law of our Shu family, so that you and your cousin can be together, so that your cousin will not think about joining the army and can settle down and be with you.
Have a good time."
He explained the matter in a not fluent tone and made gestures at the same time.
Seeing her uncle's serious look, Hua Rujin felt inexplicably sad for some reason, and couldn't even bear to refuse directly.
Although she was not the original owner, she seemed to be infected by the original owner's deep respect for her uncle. Thinking about how he came to comfort her home with his elegant cousin just after she came out of the Dou family, she felt warm in her heart.
Swelling straight up.
Just at this moment, Hua Junnian led Hua Youen and Cheng Nini in from the door. Seeing the situation in the courtyard, he also greeted him enthusiastically. First, he said to Hua Rujin with a reproachful tone.
said:
"You girl, your grandmother and your uncle have come to your home. Why don't you welcome them and sit down in the living room?"
"No wonder Rujin, I've been bored in the house all day long, and I just want to get some fresh air in the courtyard."
Mrs. Tao waved her hand and signaled Hua Junnian to take a seat, then continued: "Junnian, we are all members of our own family, so I won't beat around the bush. I came today to discuss with you two about Rujin and Jinxuan's marriage.
They are not young at all, they are already old enough to discuss marriage."
Hua Junnian was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Hua Rujin blankly, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.
He still remembered that a few months ago, in this same place, the old lady had scolded him and his wife, scolding Sang and Huai, and devalued Rujin as worthless. It didn't take long for him to change his mind.
He really couldn't figure it out.
After thinking about it carefully for a while, I probably guessed that it was because my nephew had joined the army.
"Old grandmother, Rujin is just a country girl. I'm afraid that if she gets married, she will disgrace the Shu family's reputation."
Hua Junnian was still angry and did not want to accept the marriage directly.
Hearing this, Mr. Tao looked embarrassed. Thinking back to what he had said in the past, he felt regretful.
"Why do you say those angry words in Junnian? Who doesn't know Rujin's current reputation in Jiangling City, and Pei Jinxuan's failure to live up to expectations is more than right."
Mrs. Tao looked at Hua Rujin with a stiff smile: "I don't have any other requirements. You are my daughter's family after all. Once you have entered the Shu family, don't come out and show your face. Just marry Jin Xuan and raise your children. In the past,
We will not investigate the matter in the past."
This was also a fair statement, but the tone of this strong command made Hua Rujin's still somewhat troubled heart suddenly firm up.
Not to mention that she had never thought about reaching out to the Shu family. Even if she really liked her elegant cousin, she didn't want to wrong herself so much for a man.
From the bottom of her heart, this old grandmother still despises herself.
