In the afternoon, Jin Xiaoshu took Jin Xiaoye to the county town.
The two went straight to Sister Wang's house, and were relieved after learning from Sister Wang that Fang's mother did not come to cause trouble.
Think about it
That’s right. Fang Jinniang has threatened Fang’s mother so much, Fang’s mother definitely wouldn’t dare to cause trouble.
If this matter really gets out of hand, Fang Zijian will be finished. Fang's mother values her son so much that she will definitely not dare to provoke Fang Jinniang again.
However, although Fang's mother did not come, many people came to inquire about Fang Jinniang's affairs. Fortunately, Fang Jinniang's reputation was not affected too much.
The main reason is that their place is quite small, and if there is something wrong in someone's house, the neighbors will know about it. Fang Jinniang used to do needlework at home every day and never went out of the house. Although she went out recently, she sat at Wang Jie's house all day... These big guys saw it, and no one thought she did anything wrong.
In comparison, many people think that Fang's mother went too far.
Of course, there are bound to be people who make up stories about Fang Jinniang and Jin Xiaoshu, but in fact few people believe it, so it doesn’t matter.
Jin Xiaoye said, "Sister Wang, Madam Xu, Jinniang is now living in Zhu's house. My brother will go to propose to her in a few days. If people outside ask about it, just tell them this, and don't say anything else."
The more you talk, the easier it is for people to frame you, so it’s better to say less.
"That's what we said." Sister Wang laughed and looked at Jin Xiaoshu again: "Xiaoshu, you're going to get married in the blink of an eye. You should live a good life with Jinniang in the future."
Jin Xiaoshu nodded seriously: "I will."
On this day, Jin Xiaoshu's mood could be said to have experienced great ups and downs. At this moment, he had no other thoughts except to treat Fang Jinniang well in the future.
Seeing him like this, Sister Wang said to Jin Xiaoye, "Xiaoye, this man who is getting married looks different! Xiaoshu seems to have grown up all of a sudden!"
"That's right! By the way, we have something else to do at home, so we'll leave first." It was already late, so Jin Xiaoye took Jin Xiaoshu and hurried back home.
When they returned to Miaoqian Village, the villagers already knew that Jin Xiaoshu was going to marry a city girl. Some were curious, while others were regretful.
"Why would a girl from the city fall for Jin Xiaoshu?"
"I find it strange too. There doesn't seem to be anything special about Jin Xiaoshu."
"I guess Jin Xiaoshu made a lot of money! If I had known, I would have talked to Jin Dajiang last year. My daughter is one year younger than Jin Xiaoshu, so they are a perfect match."
"I have a niece who would be suitable too!"
…
People would inevitably look for Jin Xiaoye to inquire about the girl from the city.
Jin Xiaoye naturally praised Fang Jinniang again and again: "She is the daughter of the scholar!"
"She's so pretty!"
"She can earn more than one or two taels a month."
…
Although Aunt Jin spoke bluntly about Fang Jinniang's bad words when she was at the Jin family, she would praise Fang Jinniang when she left the house.
They are all members of the Jin family. If Jin Xiaoshu marries a bad wife, the rest of the family will also be embarrassed!
For a time, the fact that Jin Xiaoshu married a city girl became the hottest topic of conversation in Miaoqian Village.
As for the Yao family, Yao the boatman was quite envious: "Jin Xiaoye and Jin Xiaoshu's lives are really getting better and better!"
