Chapter 533: Chapter 532: Love-Struck at Home 14

Jiang Maohua saw Su Man’s face getting paler and paler, she couldn’t even focus on eating, he felt even more certain that her fortune was conflicting with the people here, and hurriedly helped her up.

"Manman, I’ll take you back to rest first, Xiaomei might be right, you’re always feeling unwell when you’re here."

Jiang Maohua was seriously convinced about the problem with the fortune, Su Man was enraged.

She originally intended to aggravate Chen Xiuying, but who knew it would end up like this?

At this point, she didn’t dare to say she was fine, it would be bad if someone noticed something wrong, she still needed to care for the pregnancy for now, she couldn’t afford to fall out with Jiang Family.

Ah Chen watched Jiang Maohua take Su Man away, and then noticed the rest of Jiang Family seemed relieved, feeling satisfied inside.

Although cutting off ties with family may seem a bit cruel, Jiang Maohua indeed had a problematic mind, not cutting him away would greatly affect Jiang Family.

This was the least harmful option.

Su Man was too greedy, wanting everything, with a heart full of malice. If she was more content, given how much Jiang Maohua cared for her, Jiang Family wasn’t evil-hearted either, they wouldn’t have to worry about having a hard time.

"Let’s eat," Chen Xiuying said, not thinking too much, nor suspecting Su Man was pretending, she, like the others, truly believed it was a fortune issue. With her gone, her heart felt relieved.

Remembering Jiang Maohua’s previous behavior, she unusually didn’t mention leaving some dishes for Jiang Maohua and his wife.

That son was raised in vain, given today’s bad mood, let it be until the mood settles down, right now really not wanting to bother.

Ah Chen saw she was still in a huff, quickly served her some dishes, actually calming her down. Today’s meal went rather well.

And Su Man, being led away by Jiang Maohua, was infuriated.

Only because today Jiang Family’s meal was the best, including chicken soup, that chicken soup was so fragrant. Even in later years, her life wasn’t bad, back then everyone could easily eat meat, wanting to eat means eating, Jiang Family had good conditions, never cared about meat. But now in this era, this body wasn’t eating well, also pregnant now, craving a lot. She only drank one bowl of chicken soup, and now taken back to the old house.

Thinking about the aroma, Su Man’s mouth was constantly salivating.

Regretting terribly inside, if she knew she wouldn’t have pretended to be ill today, should at least finish the chicken soup first. She knew Jiang Family cared about Jiang Maohua, that chicken soup was prepared for her in his favor.

Now it’s all in others’ stomachs.

Thinking about it is infuriating.

That Ah Chen’s mind is really sharp, actually remembered every time she felt unwell there, now involving the fortune issue. Pretending to be ill was indeed her doing, each time it happened, if she got better in the future, no longer feeling unwell, it would all seem odd.

Ah Chen truly is her nemesis!

...

"Didn’t agree?" Yu Family was surprised to learn Jiang Family actually didn’t agree.

Their family conditions were so good, Jiang Xiaomei actually refused? Unexpected, also made them quite annoyed.

"How could it be not agreed?" Yu Sanjie asked Matchmaker Li, secretly glanced at Yu Jinyong, seeing his displeased expression, felt a bit worried.

Before Matchmaker Li went, she had sneaked her little brother to secretly observe Ah Chen. Little brother had rejected many girls, until he saw Ah Chen, showed satisfaction in his eyes. Finally found one he liked, yet it’s unwilling, truly not sensible.

Could it be intending to leverage for more betrothal gifts?

Yu Family thought so, thus Yu’s mother said with a gloomy face: "Go negotiate again, the betrothal stuff is negotiable."

Although dissatisfied inside, this was the first time the son had liked a girl, the family certainly intended to fulfill his wishes.

Yu’s father didn’t oppose: "Go with what Yongyong’s mother said, no matter how much betrothal gift they want, our Yu Family can afford it. But don’t be too greedy, missing out on our Yongyong, they won’t find one this good."

"Probably not even about the betrothal stuff," Matchmaker Li hesitated, "It seems Jiang Xiaomei really isn’t willing, she has her own ideas."

Matchmaker hasn’t seen it all in her many years, based on Jiang Xiaomei’s expression, truly not moved by Yu Family.

Yu Family conditions were good, surely somewhat condescending, she still didn’t see it as a problem, considering their good conditions.

But with Jiang Xiaomei’s personality, probably wouldn’t manage living with such a family, thinking this way, the marriage deal wasn’t necessarily right for Jiang Xiaomei.

Additionally, Jiang Family wasn’t bad either, Jiang Xiaomei was still a high school student, capable herself, really wasn’t someone desperate to find a well-off family to marry off soon.

Yu Family frowned hearing Matchmaker Li’s immediate insights, feeling somewhat annoyed, Jiang Family wouldn’t appreciate Yu Family?

"Dad, Mom, I just like Ah Chen." Yu Jinyong was genuinely interested in Ah Chen, "Don’t want anyone else, just her."

Last time he secretly saw Ah Chen, already felt she was pretty.

After hearing Matchmaker Li’s report, he liked her even more, eyes gleaming with excitement, as if discovering something interesting.

Originally, Matchmaker Li intended to give up, but Yu Family offered a lot, regardless of success, paid trips were a given, she naturally should go again.

The next day, Matchmaker Li went straight to the school, took advantage of lunch, and spoke with Ah Chen.

She saw clearly, Jiang Xiaomei could decide for herself, this matter depended on her approval.

This time, however, no change occurred, Jiang Xiaomei seemed currently uninterested in marriage. Matchmaker Li spoke dry, ultimately leaving unwillingly.

"The Yu Family people are overly persistent," Liu Yujia said, worry flashed across her face, "Might not be a good thing."

Jiang Maochuan nodded: "More and more seem tricky, Xiaomei’s dating matters shouldn’t be rushed."

The two exchanged looks, both understood each other’s intent.

Recently, they’ve paid recent attention to some matters, never missed newspapers, faintly deemed a real restoration of college exams plausible, maybe in one or two years.

"Xiaomei has plans, I see she hasn’t rushed on these, don’t worry," Liu Yujia laughed, glanced at Ah Chen drinking water from a cup, "As long as Xiaomei refuses, Yu Family wouldn’t affect."

Ah Chen nodded, but inside felt differently.

From Matchmaker Li’s attitude today, she knew she was eyed by Yu Jinyong, tantamount ruthlessness, pursuits justified with any means, ensuing troubles ahead, she’d have to guard closely.

Parents there no worry, mostly stayed within the village.

For Yu Jinyong to act, focused on her and Jiang Maochuan’s couple.

Concerning Jiang Maohua’s misfortune, she felt no guilt whatsoever.

If Yu Jinyong truly took action, for regular status wouldn’t normally target Jiang Maohua anyway.
