The Jiang family and the Diao family were engaged. This was another piece of news in Ping Village after the Jiang family and the Lin family canceled their engagement.
“Sister Diao really hired a stupid girl from the Jiang family for her husband’s nephew? This Huo Lindong is a scholar now, how can he be willing to marry a fool?”
“Tsk tsk tsk, everyone thinks that Sister Diao is honest and kind. According to me, she is the one who has the deepest thoughts. I think she saw that she couldn’t suppress the boy that her man brought, so she deliberately married him with such a wife to suppress him, especially since the Jiang family is just a stupid girl, so she doesn’t know how much dowry she will give. How can a fool know how to manage her own dowry? There are so many good things, but in the end, Diao’s family is not cheap. I think that she is very calculating.”
“Nonsense, Sister Diao is not that kind of person. If she really didn’t like Huo Lindong, why would she have sent him to study in the first place? Isn’t this just looking for trouble?”
“Who knows? Maybe it’s to please her man. Otherwise, with her appearance, why would Huo An stay with her for so many years?”
There have been a lot of similar discussions recently. In contrast, the remarks about the Jiang family’s idiots being bad and deserving of being rejected by the Lin family almost disappeared.
After all, if people really wanted to compare, Huo Lindong’s conditions were much better than Lin Pingchun’s. Both of them were also talented people. Lin Pingchun only had a widowed mother who didn’t have a job, while Huo Lindong at least had a capable aunt and an uncle who took care of his aunt.
Even if Sister Diao had selfish motives, for Huo An’s sake, she would leave some small fortune for Huo Lindong in the future.
The wealth accumulated by generations of pig butchers in the Diao family was thicker than that of the Lin family, even if there was some leakage between the fingers.
“Husband, do you think the people who come to buy pork these days look at me a little strange?”
After seeing off the last guest, Sister Diao couldn’t help but touch her face. They were all fellow countrymen who had seen her for decades, so why were they looking at her so strangely now?
Gossip spread among the villagers would not reach Sister Diao’s ears. They were also afraid that Diao Sister would come to settle accounts with them while wielding two butcher knives. Therefore, Sister Diao didn’t even know how her image had been tampered with in the rumors.
“Maybe it’s Dalang’s marriage that makes everyone misunderstand you.”
Huo An frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable.
“Hey, I mean, everyone looked at me so strangely. ”
Sister Diao has a big heart and doesn’t care about other people’s opinions. Anyway, ever since Huo An brought Lindong’s child home, there had been rumors in the village that she couldn’t tolerate that child.
Now that she had married a stupid girl to Dalang, at most, it would make the rumors more true.
“Don’t think I’m aggrieved. Just let people talk when they talk. Anyway, they don’t dare to say these words in front of me. If you think of me, you can love me more. This is the most real thing.”
Sister Diao also had her own little thoughts. It was true that she loved her nephew Huo Lindong. She understood that the more she loved Huo Lindong, the more her husband Huo An would respect her and the more he felt sorry for her.
