FSC [QT] Chapter 19.2

“You think all the good things have happened at the same time recently. After the Jiang family’s wedding, it’s time for everyone to come to my house for a wedding banquet.”

Perhaps stimulated by the ridicule in everyone’s eyes, Widow Xu said such words impulsively.

“Ah? Scholar Lin’s marriage has also been decided?”

The fat woman who had just spoken against Widow Xu asked in shock.

In fact, Widow Xu regretted it as soon as she said those words, but she had to shoot the arrow when she was on the string. How could she take back what she had already said?

At this moment, Widow Xu could only comfort herself in her heart. No matter what, Xu Baozhu was thousands of times stronger than Jiang Wu.

First of all, Xu Baozhu is her niece. Although the relationship was somewhat distant, she was also her natal family. Because of the Jiang family’s affairs, her son and she became not as close as before.

If she waits for her son to become successful and then marries him to a wealthy daughter-in-law who looks down on her widowed mother-in-law, she is afraid that her son will be completely won over by a skillful woman.

In order to prevent such a thing from happening, it is extremely important to marry a daughter-in-law who is of the same mind as herself.

Secondly, the Jiang family has declined. Jiang Baozong is a scholar who does not engage in production. The Jiang family’s original nearly 200 acres of land were sold to only 30 acres in his hands. She doesn’t know how much property he will leave to Jiang Wu after his death. But, Xu Baozhu is different.

This is a golden doll who can make money. In just over a month, Widow Xu got fifty taels of silver from her. Before that, the Jiang family only gave them five taels of silver every month.

The most important thing was that although Xu Baozhu could make money, there were not many capable people in her family. When her son gets promoted, in order to secure her position as the main wife, Xu Baozhu can only rely on her aunt as mother-in-law.

At that time, if his son marries a girl from a noble family as his wife or concubine, he can also use this to balance his son’s backyard and become an unshakable old lady.

These were the principles that Widow Xu had pondered while listening to plays and reading books. Thinking about this, Widow Xu didn’t feel that what she just said was too impulsive.

“I’ve already fallen in love with the girl. I’ll ask a matchmaker to come to our house in a while to discuss the marriage. I’ll tell everyone as soon as the marriage is finalized.”

Widow Xu felt that she could not delay it any longer. Xu Baozhu’s situation was different from Jiang Wu’s. Jiang Wu was a fool and not many people were willing to marry her.

However, Xu Baozhu was beautiful, smart, and capable, and was a good wife in the eyes of most people. Now, Xu Baozhu is not young.

If her parents didn’t love her and wanted her to stay at home for a few more years, the marriage should have been decided long ago.

She knew that Xu Baozhu liked her son, but she didn’t know how long the little girl’s love would last. Now the Lin family relied on Xu Baozhu’s money to support her son. Widow Xu didn’t want this good daughter-in-law to be unable to bear it and agree to other people’s proposals.

“That’s such a happy event. I didn’t expect that the two new young talents born in our village this year will both have wives. This really disappoints those little girls who have not been allowed to kiss.”

The fat woman’s expression was a little strange. She didn’t seem to be sincerely congratulating her, but her face was so full of smiles that even Widow Xu couldn’t fault her.
