Chapter 69

Mrs. Jiang hurried to Jiang's house after lunch, while Li Mei'er was left at Mrs. Li's place with a weary look on her face.

Jiang Shanqing hasn't changed much, he has always had a calm personality.

"Mei Meier, when you go to the Zhou's house, did the wife of the Zhou family give you a meeting gift?" Mrs. Li asked Li Meier in a rare and pleasant manner.

Li Meier glanced at her, thinking that her grandmother wanted to shave her off again, so she pretended to be ignorant and replied: "I don't know, it's all taken by mother."

Mrs. Li was a little annoyed, she cursed a stupid girl in her heart, and then turned to Jiang Shanqing, "Shanqing, you have always been smart, what kind of greeting did Mrs. Zhou give you?"

"A gold collar." Jiang Shanqing said directly without hiding anything.

When Mrs. Li heard that it was gold, her eyes lit up immediately, and she hurriedly asked, "Where is that thing? Where is it now?"

"My aunt put it away, she said it was too expensive, she was afraid that we would play around and lose it, and she would give it to us when we grow up." Jiang Shanqing replied very seriously.

Mrs. Li was very dissatisfied when she heard the words, thinking that this Mrs. Jiang didn't care about her old man too much. She didn't know to hand over the things she got from the Zhou family to her old man for safekeeping. Could it be that her old man would still be greedy for the things of the younger generation? , isn't it also for them to keep it, and add a dowry to the girl later.When she came back, she must ask her to bring her things. Mrs. Li made up her mind, and her face looked a little better.

Mrs. Jiang, who was slandered by Mrs. Li, has now arrived at her mother's house.Mrs. Xu was still very puzzled when she saw her coming back at this time, but before she had time to ask anything, she heard Mrs. Jiang ask anxiously: "Mother, where is the second younger brother? Call him here quickly, I have something urgent to tell you." .”

Seeing her anxious face, Mrs. Xu thought that something happened to her at her mother's house, so she immediately comforted her, "Yingying, don't worry, tell your mother first if you have anything to do, your second brother will go out early in the morning." I'm a friend, but I haven't come back yet."

When Jiang heard this, her expression became more and more anxious, "Why did he find friends at this time? Isn't this delaying things!"

"What's going on, you're so anxious?" Monk Zhanger Xu was puzzled by Jiang's appearance, and asked again.

Mrs. Jiang sighed helplessly, she finally calmed down a little, and she dragged Mrs. Xu into the room, "Mother, I will tell you and Dad slowly in the room, you have to send someone to find the second brother quickly. "

Mrs. Xu nodded, and the mother and daughter hurried back to the room.

"Yingying, can you tell now, what happened?" Xu Shi and Jiang Zhongheng sat opposite Jiang Shi, looking at her and asked.

Mrs. Jiang took a deep breath, and told the elders everything about the Zhou family.

After Xu heard this, the teacup in her hand was almost unsteady, and she asked incredulously, "You said that the Zhou family is likely to go bankrupt?"

"Although it's not good to draw conclusions so early, the Zhou family has indeed encountered a great crisis." Jiang replied with a sigh.

Xu was momentarily confused, and looked at Jiang Zhongheng beside him, "Old man, what shall we... do?"

Jiang Zhongheng also looked solemn, and after pondering for a moment, he slowly said: "We have already made a marriage with the Zhou family, and the three letters and six engagements are almost gone. No matter what happens to the Zhou family at this moment, this marriage has to be concluded."

Mrs. Xu opened her mouth wanting to speak, but finally said nothing, just sighed deeply with a gloomy expression.

"Father, it's not whether we want to get married to the Zhou family, but the eldest daughter of the Zhou family wants to divorce us in order to solve their family's plight." Mrs. Jiang said with a wry smile, thinking about Zhou Hanyu's attitude when she was in the Zhou family. .

"If their family really wants to divorce, then we won't force it. We, Shunzi, are not afraid that we won't be able to find a better one." Hearing that the Zhou family was going to divorce, Xu's face became less worried, and his tone With a trace of rejoicing.

Jiang knows that her mother is thinking of her younger brother, but she doesn't agree with her point of view, and persuades her earnestly: "Mother, I think Miss Zhou is an excellent person, with a sharp personality, smart and capable, if you marry Giving it to the second younger brother will definitely help him a lot. From ancient times to the present, we have always married wives and virtuous people. Although we married the Zhou family at the beginning because of the wealth of his family, in the final analysis, people are the most important. I I feel that no matter what, if this marriage can be kept, we should try our best to keep it."

"What Yingying said makes sense. How can this marriage matter be child's play? Since it has been agreed a long time ago, there is no reason to repent at will."

Jiang Zhongheng nodded and agreed with his daughter's words. He is also an old-fashioned person and feels that this marriage has already been arranged and cannot be changed at will.

Mrs. Xu was still a little hesitant. After hesitating for a moment, she said again: "Let's wait for Fuzi to come back and ask his opinion." s room.

"Father, mother, eldest sister, what's the matter?" Jiang Yanzhi saw that the three of them looked worried, and immediately asked.

Jiang Shi then told the Zhou family's affairs again.

After Jiang Yanzhi listened, he was not as nervous as the three of them, and asked with a smile: "So, the Zhou family was threatened by the Liu family, and the Liu family wanted to exchange silk for the Zhou family's second lady?"

Jiang Shi nodded, indicating that the same could be said.

"Isn't it simple? As long as you help the Zhou family find enough silk, the matter will be solved soon." Jiang Yanzhi said naturally.

"How can it be so simple? The Zhou family has been in the silk business all year round, and they know quite a few contacts. They can't find so much silk. How could we have a way." Jiang said helplessly, feeling that her brother's thoughts Too naive.

"It's hard to find in our town. After all, almost all silkworm farmers in the surrounding area are employed by the Liu family, but what about those in the county and state? No matter how powerful the Liu family is, it's impossible to reach out so far. "Jiang Yanzhi said slowly with a smile still on his face.

"Shunzi, do you have contacts in the county and the state?" Xu was a little surprised and couldn't help asking.

"I have a few classmates in the county school. Their families are all in business, and some of them are in the silk business. They should have some contacts in this area. I can help to ask." Jiang Yanzhi replied.

"It's a little bit of help. If the Zhou family can tide over the difficulties this time, the relationship between our two families will be closer in the future." Jiang Zhongheng nodded, feeling at ease.

"The elders of the Zhou family said that they will come over in person in a few days, and they should also come to discuss the marriage between the second brother and sister Zhou. In fact, if the second lady of the Zhou family hadn't suddenly intervened, the matter would not have become so complicated." Jiang Thinking of Zhou Hanhan's appearance today, Shi couldn't help shaking his head.
