Chapter 1106: Chapter 1105 Nagging 5

Jiang He couldn’t help but sigh after hearing Feng Qingxue’s words, "Erya and I have a heavy burden, we can’t just abandon our younger brothers and sisters. Who would arrange a match for me? Someone did propose a match for Erya, but the condition was that she couldn’t meddle in our family affairs after getting married. Erya didn’t agree. I’ve advised her that the younger kids are grown up now, and I can take care of them, but she’s still unwilling."

Among these siblings, it was easy for the grown-up girls to find a husband’s family, because there were more men than women within ten miles, including Wanglou Brigade. However, it was not so easy for the boys to find wives.

Feng Qingxue frowned, "You being a young man is still fine, but Erya is a girl, and a girl’s prime time is limited."

"I’ve said the same thing, but I can’t persuade Erya. She’s been used to leading the household these years and is very stubborn," Jiang He chuckled, "I told Erya, if no one marries her within three years, I’ll marry her. It’s called ’Keeping the wealth within the family.’"

Guan Cheng chipped in, "Didn’t Erya knock you on the head with a rolling pin?"

As the oldest girl among them, the household chores were all managed single-handedly by Erya and her younger sisters. She also had to protect her younger brothers and sisters from being bullied. Consequently, she developed a particularly violent temper.

If Feng Qingxue was gentle like water, then Erya was like raging fire.

Embarrassed, Jiang He smiled and did not mention that Erya had chased him with a rolling pin for three miles and had not given him dinner, saying that he was being too vulgar. She was a person, not manure.

Feng Qingxue noticed a hint of warmth and affection in Jiang He’s eyes when he mentioned Zhang Erya, which stirred something in her heart.

Alright, she was no longer worried.

It was clear that Jiang He and Zhang Erya had feelings for each other, they were probably just too used to each other’s company to know how to face the arrival of romantic feelings. Before she left, she had to remind Guan Cheng to help promote their relationship, so they didn’t miss out on a great marriage because of embarrassment.

"Alright, I’ve delivered the mung bean jelly, my task is done, I’m heading back."

Jiang He, concerned about Zhang Erya and his younger siblings, didn’t hesitate to take his leave.

Once he left, they returned to the matter at hand.

"Zhiyuan, Xiaoxue, for the sake of an old man like me running here through the rain from afar, give me a straight answer. Will you agree to let Xibao stay at home?" Old Master Lu liked Xibao more and more the longer he looked at him. The kid looked joyous, everyone who saw him liked him and wanted to smile. "Shan the blind fortune-teller is a wise man. We’d better believe it is so, rather than not."

Lu’s father spread his hands, "I respect Xiaoxue and Xibao’s wishes. In my opinion, no external things can compare to a child’s happiness. Indeed, as Xiaoxue said, a child won’t be happy without their parents around."

Xibao was only five years old, and children usually started school at seven. It wasn’t too late for him to start learning in a few years.

Feng Qingxue felt relieved. With Lu’s father not intervening, Old Master Lu’s suggestion could be ignored. No matter how senior the old man was or how logical he spoke, he had no right to insist on keeping Xibao at home.

However, Old Master Lu looked quite troubled.

He wasn’t angry, though. Despite his age and seniority, he was reasonable and clearly understood that the intentions of Lu’s father and Feng Qingxue were sound. They were naturally uneasy to leave Xibao alone at home to live with Lu’s father.

Thinking of the crops in Wanglou Brigade that concerned the food supply of the common people, Old Master Lu couldn’t help but ask again, "Really not possible?"

"No way!" Feng Qingxue said definitively, leaving no room for negotiation.
