Chapter 206: Chapter 0206: Respectful Toast to Recognize Relatives 2_1

Miao Fengqin felt utterly helpless.

She often chatted with the people in the village about almost everything, so how could she not guess what they were thinking?

Not to mention them, even she felt that Feng Qingxue was marrying into the Lu Family at a loss.

No matter how remarkable Lu Jiang himself was, the social status of the Lu Family was an indelible stain. Fortunately, Lu Jiang was different from his family and he had the help of many comrades. And with Lu Jiang’s single-minded love for Feng Qingxue, Miao Fengqin felt somewhat relieved.

"Auntie, none of the girls in our family are ugly; everyone knows that, don’t they? Qingxue takes after her mother."

As soon as they heard this, they all nodded in agreement.

"Indeed!"

"If your elder sister weren’t so beautiful, could she have married someone from the city?"

"Speaking of them, it’s been a good few years since your elder sister and brother-in-law returned, right? Aren’t they both cadres?"

"Why bring them up at all? Everyone knows they look down on us country folks. It’s depressing to talk about them. It’s much more pleasing to talk about Fengqin’s niece. Such a beautiful girl, Lu Jiang got a real bargain!"

"Absolutely, Lu Jiang is really lucky. We all knew the Secretary’s niece was pretty, but we didn’t expect her to be this beautiful."

"Looking back at the Wang Family’s three generations, there hasn’t been a single girl who wasn’t beautiful. In their time, every family wished to have them as daughters-in-law. Let’s not talk about the old days, even Jiaojiao has grown up to be as beautiful as a flower. Oh right, Fengqin, now that your cousin has gotten married, when do you plan to hold the wedding for your niece? I heard Zhang Yuejin’s family can’t wait to marry Jiaojiao immediately!"

Miao Fengqin laughed, "Her father said we’ll wait until after the autumn harvest, when everyone is free, and then send her off."

Although the loss of a large amount of property due to her daughter’s elopement hurt her deeply, the fact that her daughter had stopped making a fuss about marrying Lu Jiang and often spent time with Zhang Yuejin offered her and her husband some comfort. However, her character of liking to eat and play hadn’t changed despite repeated teaching.

"Oh, that’s not far away, once the corn and soybeans are planted, they can be harvested in a few months."

The topic then switched to Wang Jiao.

Wang Jiao, the focal point of the conversation, didn’t even notice the sunflower seeds scattering on the ground from her shock after seeing Feng Qingxue’s appearance. With a whoosh, she quickly went over to Qingxue, pushing Lu Jiang, who had been standing in front of Qingxue, aside.

"Qingxue, is this... is this your actual appearance? You... you’re too beautiful!"

Always proud of her own beauty, Wang Jiao suddenly felt inferior, her eyes fixated on Feng Qingxue’s face.

So white, so delicate, so smooth, so tender, just like a peeled egg. She had the desire to swallow it whole.

Just as Lu Jiang was about to break off the gaze of Feng Qingxue’s cousin, someone called him, "Lu Jiang, come out quickly, what are you doing standing around inside the house? Come out and offer a cigarette to your relatives and friends!"

Feng Qingxue smiled and said to Lu Jiang, "You go ahead, take care of your wound. If you can’t stand, use the wheelchair."

With so many women in groups of threes and fives gossiping around the room, it was enough to make any man, like Lu Jiang, uncomfortable. Didn’t you see how the easygoing Niu Yibao, who was walking behind Lu Jiang, was blushing? His eyes didn’t even know where to look.

"Rest well, I’ll be back later." After giving his advice, Lu Jiang slowly left the room, looking back three times with every step he took.

Everyone who saw this couldn’t help but smile.

"Alright, alright, Lu Jiang, don’t worry, we won’t bully your wife!"

"Exactly, what’s a big man like you doing in among us women? Hurry up and get out! Out!"

So, on their wedding day, the groom was banished from the bridal chamber by a group of older women, leaving the bride to chat with them.
