Surprise! The rough husband is the hidden boss of the period literature

Chapter 341 Wedding Date
Da Dan, Er Dan, Da Ya, and Er Ya came together to call Xu Qinghuan to come to the Jiang family for dinner. "Auntie, Auntie is here. Grandma asked us to call you to dinner."

Xu Qinghuan gave each of them a piece of milk candy.

Qingxiao caught two rabbits from the mountains. Xu Qinghuan kept one for Yu Xiaomin and the others, and gave the other to the Jiang family.

When Xu Qinghuan first saw Jiang Xinglan, she found it hard to associate her with her sister-in-law, because Jiang Xinglan and Jiang Xingbing were twins, but they looked almost twenty years apart in age.

When Jiang Xingye introduced her as "the eldest sister," Xu Qinghuan was extremely shocked, always feeling that Jiang Xinglan should be Zhou Guizhi's younger sister.

"Miss!"

"You're Huanhuan. I've heard Mom talk about you, and I've always wanted to come see you." As she shook hands with Xu Qinghuan, she slipped two yuan into Xu Qinghuan's hand and said with tears in her eyes, "I'm so happy to see Xiao Wu with you. This is just a small token of my appreciation, please don't mind."

Xu Qinghuan glanced at Jiang Xingye, and he nodded.

However, Xu Qinghuan looked at her clothes and really couldn't bear to accept the money. But seeing that Jiang Xinglan genuinely cared for Jiang Xingye, it would be too hurtful for her not to accept it.

Xu Qinghuan had no choice but to accept it, and said somewhat heavily, "Thank you, elder sister."

Jiang Xinglan was very satisfied. She held her hand and talked to her about this and that. Later, when she saw Zhou Guizhi cooking, she quickly went to help gather firewood. Jiang Xingmei told her to take it easy, but she couldn't stay still. Jiang Xingmei saw that she was dressed very thinly, so she gave her a seat so that she could sit by the stove and warm herself by the fire.

"Where's the cotton-padded jacket I gave you last year? Why aren't you wearing it?" Jiang Xingmei asked, her tone somewhat unpleasant.

Zhou Guizhi snapped at her, "I gave it to your sister, so why are you asking about this?"

"Look at her, she'd rather freeze to death!" Jiang Xingmei was furious and shoved her sister. "What are you thinking? What do you owe them? Why don't you value yourself a little?"

Zhou Guizhi forgot about the pot and looked at her eldest daughter, her eyes filled with tears.

"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me?"

Xu Qinghuan glanced at Jiang Xingye, who noticed her discomfort. He stood up and took her hand, saying, "Let's go see Grandpa and Grandma."

The two elderly people, who lived in the back room, were talking about Jiang Xinglan. When they saw Xu Qinghuan and her companion arrive, they quickly stopped talking and greeted her warmly, "Huanhuan is here."

The two elders were much better off, and Jiang Xingye smiled and got onto the kang (a heated brick bed).

Seemingly understanding the original intention of the two, the old lady took Xu Qinghuan's hand and started talking to her about Jiang Xinglan, "Speaking of which, it was also a sin committed by your grandfather and me. Back when Caihua's grandfather was still alive, we had a very good relationship and arranged this marriage."

Jiang Xinglan's husband's surname is Guo, and Guo Caihua is her husband.

Guo Caihua's grandfather used to serve in the army under Old Master Jiang. Later, the two returned to Shangjiang Brigade together. Guo Caihua's grandfather treated Old Master Jiang very well, and the two families got engaged.

After Jiang Xinglan married into the family, Guo Caihua treated her fairly well at first. After she gave birth to their eldest daughter, the Guo family did indeed dislike her. However, since Old Master Guo was still alive at the time, they could at least maintain some semblance of dignity for her on the surface.

After Old Master Guo dies, Jiang Xinglan will be unable to have children, and her life in the Guo family will be worse than that of a pig or a dog.

She tolerated it at first, but later, after the Jiang family found out that Jiang Xingye had put Guo Caihua in a sack and thrown him into a cesspool in the middle of the night, almost killing him, she became much more restrained.

At that time, the Jiang family, like the Guo family, had nothing to lose.

But now, after the Jiang family produced two people receiving government-subsidized rations, they've also produced two soldiers. They're practically officials now. As Guo Caihua said, if the Jiang family dares to attack him again, he'll call the police. Whether calling the police will affect Jiang Xingjun and Jiang Xingwei is another matter, but since the other side is so emboldened, Jiang Xingye and the others can't really kill him.

"I've been telling my older sister to get a divorce for ages, but she refuses. She's such a worthless wretch, what is she thinking? Is she planning to risk her life?" Jiang Xingye said angrily.

The old lady sighed, her face also full of worry. The old man silently lowered his head and twisted the hemp rope, having no right to say anything.

Xu Qinghuan gently nudged Jiang Xingye, "She has her reasons for not getting a divorce."

"What reason could there be?" Jiang Xingye thought of the wounds he saw on Jiang Xinglan's body today, and his anger couldn't be suppressed. Of course, it wasn't directed at Xu Qinghuan, but his face was indeed very dark.

Xu Qinghuan found it somewhat amusing. "Of course, my eldest sister has her reasons. Think about it, if she gets divorced, who will get custody of the child? If the Guo family doesn't let her take the child with her, wouldn't Da Niu be pitiful in the Guo family?"
If she brings the child back, where will she live? She has to consider whether she can support her eldest daughter alone. Also, in this village, divorce isn't something to be proud of, and she's afraid of bringing shame to her family.

She also had to consider whether her sisters-in-law could tolerate her, especially with He Yuzhen, that troublemaker, around, who would definitely not allow Jiang Xinglan to divorce and return to her parents' home.

However, Xu Qinghuan did not say these words.

“What’s with the smear campaign? What’s so shameful about it?” the old lady said. “Go and tell Lanlan to get a divorce and come back if she can. Your grandfather and I have some money, and we’ll give her money to build a house.”

Jiang Xingye was about to get off the kang (a heated brick bed) when he thought for a moment and said, "Why should you and Grandpa give me money? No need to give me any money. Let my eldest sister stay here for a few days. After I get married, I will move to Huanhuan's place and this house will be available for my eldest sister."

He sounded very pleased with himself, finally having a chance to announce his marriage, and was beaming with pride.

It's like I could be a groom any second now.

Grandpa Jiang asked, "If you're getting married, when are you getting married?"

Jiang Xingye was asked this question. He had thought about it more than once and wanted to ask Xu Qinghuan, but he never dared to. He was afraid that if he asked, Xu Qinghuan would say that in a few years, life would be full of ups and downs.

He didn't know when they could get married, but he didn't dare look at Xu Qinghuan, afraid of putting pressure on her.

After stammering for a while, Jiang Xingye said, "Anyway, we'll definitely get married."

He's willing to wait however long it takes.

"You didn't discuss this with Huanhuan?" The old lady was furious. This grandson was becoming more and more clueless. This was something she could decide on her own.

She picked up a shoehorn and hit Jiang Xingye, striking his hand, which immediately turned red.

Xu Qinghuan quickly replied, "Grandma, we've already discussed it. We'll get married after my birthday next year."

Jiang Xingye suddenly turned his head to look at her and saw that she looked serious. She didn't seem to be half asleep, so she wasn't talking in her sleep. She hadn't been drinking, so she wasn't talking drunk. Therefore, she was serious.

Her birthday is July 18th, and he will be able to marry her in eight months and twenty days.

Time suddenly feels so long!

But compared to several years, three years, two years, or even one year, it's still much shorter, which makes Jiang Xingye extremely satisfied, with a sense of satisfaction that his fiancée also wants to marry him sooner.
