Chapter 528: Chapter 527: Love-Struck at Home 9

Su Man watched Jiang Maohua’s back, her lips curled up slightly.

Jiang Maohua said he would find a solution, so he must be going to sort it out.

After living with Jiang Maohua for a lifetime, isn’t it easy to handle him?

As long as the Jiang Family doesn’t spread it around, the matter is secure. The Jiang Family’s character really doesn’t involve gossiping.

If it were another family, they would probably have already gone to the Su Family to cause trouble, thinking she flirted with Jiang Maohua.

That’s why she insisted on choosing Jiang Maohua, not only can she handle him, but she also knows how the Jiang Family would react.

However, the Jiang Family, although they don’t like gossiping, are not good people either. She will never forget the Jiang Family’s pressure for grandchildren, as every mention seems like a reminder that she owes the Jiang Family.

Since they agreed to let Jiang Maohua marry Su Man, the Jiang Family also planned to find a time to discuss the wedding and post-wedding family division matters, so that everything can proceed quickly.

Now it’s not the busy farming season, the younger generation have their own jobs, and finally, they picked a Saturday when everyone was free.

Who knew that once they just sat down, Jiang Maohua hurriedly said, "Dad, Mom, can we pretend not to know about Su Man being pregnant? Otherwise, who knows how the villagers will view her."

Facing the slightly cold gaze of the Jiang Family, Jiang Maohua still persisted, "If she gets upset in this condition, it won’t be good for her health."

Chen Xiuying couldn’t hold back anymore and said sarcastically, "A son about to get married is like water poured out. I, as his mother, never got such careful consideration. Are you afraid of upsetting Su Man, but not afraid of upsetting me?"

The rest of the Jiang Family also looked a bit angry. The second son really just plunged headfirst into this situation.

"Mom, I’m not water that’s been poured out." Jiang Maochuan immediately tried to comfort her, "Don’t get upset."

Because of the second son, mom and dad had truly been put through a lot lately. It’s good to split the family! Earlier, he felt a bit uncomfortable about it, but now he just thought his younger sister was wise!

Liu Yujia suddenly thought of something, hurried back to her room to bring out some canned fruit, and asked Jiang Maochuan to open it and place it in front of Chen Xiuying, "Mom, calm down."

Chen Xiuying’s anger really dissipated, and she smiled, "Take it back, you guys eat it later. Mom doesn’t like these sweet things."

As long as her son and daughter-in-law have this intention, their days won’t be tough.

Oh well, as the saying goes, a dragon begets nine sons, each different. Actually, her children are still much better than those who only know how to take things from their parents in other families, and her eldest daughter-in-law is especially good.

Having this flaw with the second son isn’t a big deal.

Often she doesn’t ask much of her children, a few sweet words can soothe her, after all, she isn’t without arms or legs, really needing her children’s support.

Ah Chen also smiled, though she usually didn’t talk much, she had a knack for comforting people and won over Chen Xiuying’s heart. Overall, feelings are mutual, you’re good to me, I’ll be good to you. If Su Man didn’t cause trouble in secret, the Jiang Family could have lived well.

"As long as the Su Family doesn’t make a fuss, let’s pretend this never happened." Chen Xiuying finally spoke, "And don’t talk to outsiders about Su Man’s pregnancy, to prevent people from speculating. When the baby is born, just say it was early."

The Jiang Family didn’t want to spread that their son married a pregnant woman, avoiding village gossip.

"What kind of people do you think we are? Make a big scene over something like this?" Chen Xiuying coldly laughed, she didn’t want the village to laugh at them, but if the Su Family and Su Man insisted on making it big, that can’t be helped, "For the sake of not blowing things out of proportion, we must negotiate with the Su Family to see what they have to say."

It’s their responsibility to marry off the second son. Just as they did for the eldest, they’ll do the same this time. Once the family is divided in the future, whether Su Man is good or bad depends on the second son, this is the wife he insisted on marrying.

Jiang Maohua felt a bit embarrassed, realizing that the family never intended to make a fuss about it.

He quickly nodded, ignoring the unfriendly glances from his family.

They mostly talked about the wedding, then Jiang Aiguo took out a notebook and pushed it towards Jiang Maohua.

Jiang Maohua may have only graduated from middle school, but he could read. The notebook outlined the family division, with Jiang Aiguo previously organizing the family assets. Excluding what was for themselves, it was divided into three parts, currently, only Jiang Laoer was separated out.

The elderly would definitely follow Jiang Maochuan, and the youngest daughter would eventually marry, so they were saving up money for her. She’s still young, no rush, they could save more for now.

"The old house is yours, any objections?" Jiang Aiguo asked. The old house had two bedrooms and was quite spacious. It had been well-maintained over the years, and he often stayed there to prevent it from deteriorating. It was planned all along that once the children get married, Jiang Laor would be sent there.

Jiang Maohua knew about this, he’d often stayed over there, too.

"No objections." Jiang Maohua quickly responded. His parents divided things fairly, the details were thorough. Although it wasn’t as much as his older brother’s, it clearly stated that the future responsibility of taking care of the parents lies with the elder brother. It meant that when they were old, being the second son, if he could afford it, a little filial gesture during festivals would suffice. If not, the parents wouldn’t make a fuss about it.

Everything proceeded smoothly, yet Jiang Maohua felt an emptiness inside.

But soon, the joy of getting married filled his heart with anticipation.

"That’s the situation, considering your reputation, let’s keep this between the two families and not make it public." Jiang Maohua said.

Su Man breathed a sigh of relief. Although when both sides discuss, it might cause a scene at home, the family wouldn’t make it public. If it really got out, trying to find another match for her, they might not even get what the Jiang Family offered. She knew her parents well. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

But she felt uneasy, how did Jiang Chen find out?

Recently, she secretly observed, but didn’t notice anything unusual about Jiang Chen, and for now, couldn’t figure out if Jiang Chen was reborn.

But it was also possible that her plan was brought forward, causing some changes.

If Jiang Chen was really reborn, and since she and Jiang Maohua were about to marry, with his character, he should make a fuss, right?

The Jiang Family acted swiftly. On Sunday, the whole family went to the Su Family.

The Su Family, hearing it was about Su Man, knew the Jiang Family was well off and originally wanted to assert some control. But upon learning that Su Man was pregnant with Gu Lingfei’s child, they nearly fainted in anger, and Su Man received a slap on the spot.

Just as Su Man thought, the Su Family didn’t want to make the matter public and lose face, fearing if it blew up, the Jiang Family might not want to take her in, wanting the two to marry as soon as possible. Furthermore, what the Jiang Family offered was not bad.

Seeing the Jiang Family so agreeable, they even tried to assert some control, but as soon as they showed this intention, Chen Xiuying coldly laughed and pinched Jiang Maohua hard, making the Su Family understand she was dissatisfied. It was Jiang Maohua who insisted, so they dared not push further.

Chen Xiuying was indeed dissatisfied, but said nothing, helping Jiang Maohua in arranging things only because he was her son.

Both families were eager, and within a few days, the banquet was held. With Ah Chen’s suggestion, they were also reminded to register the marriage.

Of course, they needed to register, wasn’t this a joyous occasion for both? Ah Chen smiled.

Su Man was indeed not too willing, but at this point, refusing would be too strange, so she could only pinch her nose and go along.

After observing Ah Chen closely, Su Man didn’t feel that the other was reborn, just felt some details were different this lifetime.

Sure enough, both families kept the pregnancy matter tightly under wraps, no one dared to mention it, just letting it slide.

Ah Chen didn’t care, but was quite sure, with Su Man’s personality, life wouldn’t stay peaceful like this; this bomb will explode sooner or later.

By then, with the family already split, everyone’s discussion would be about Jiang Maohua and Su Man, largely unrelated to the Jiang Family.

After the three-day return visit, while Su Man was preparing to take good care of her pregnancy, not planning to work herself to the bone in this life, on the fifth day after the wedding, Jiang Maohua started moving things to the old house.

"Early in the morning, where are these things going?" Su Man asked.

Jiang Maohua said, "To the old house."

Why move them to the old house? Su Man was puzzled.
