Chapter 698: Chapter 667 Warning, Thank You for the Matchmaking Gift_1

After He Tiantian left, Jiang Wenwen looked at Jiang Wenhui and said, "Wenhui, you have so many clothes, there’s no need to envy others’. Look at what I’m wearing, and look at what you’re wearing."

Although Jiang Wenwen was young, she wasn’t foolish. She could see that her cousin’s gaze was practically stripping the clothes off her sister-in-law.

Jiang Wenhui was displeased. This little cousin of hers actually had the nerve to lecture her.

"What are you talking about?" Jiang Wenhui said. "I just complimented her on her nice clothes, what’s wrong with that? I didn’t ask her for them."

"The fact that you didn’t ask for them, that’s for the best," Jiang Wenwen said. She had never liked this cousin of hers as a child, and she liked her even less now.

After saying this, Jiang Wenwen also went inside. She didn’t speak to Jiang Wenhui; anyway, their relationship wasn’t good.

He Tiantian had intentionally left earlier. Having met Jiang Wenhui once last year, she had felt her unfriendliness. Now, when they came visiting, and it wasn’t even at her house, she still had that attitude.

Oh well, just forget about it.

Even if He Tiantian had new clothes, she didn’t want to give them to such a person.

Yet Jiang Wenwen, this young girl, was quite nice. She would send her a couple of pieces when she had time.

Some people are worth associating with, others are not.

A mother-daughter farewell is always a scene filled with tears.

Old Madam Jiang and Jiang Lifang clung to each other, weeping bitterly. The next time they would see each other was probably going to be next year’s New Year.

Since her parents returned to Yanjing, Jiang Lifang had also been calculating in her heart, hoping to return early to accompany her parents and fulfill her filial duties, not wishing to only see them once a year like now.

On the train, Jiang Lifang was feeling downhearted.

He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie were extra careful with their child, not wanting to disturb Jiang Lifang.

"Jingli, I know you’re going to miss your in-laws. Don’t worry," Huo Zhekun whispered comfortingly to his wife. "I aim to complete my task within five years, and then we can move back to Yanjing. No more floating around." Over the years, Jiang Lifang had always been by his side, and he too wanted his wife to be happier.

Jiang Lifang was taken aback and muttered, "Another five years?"

"Although five years isn’t short, our parents are in good health, living to eighty or ninety won’t be a problem," Huo Zhekun said. "If you really miss home, when I come to Yanjing for a meeting this summer, you can take some days off, and we can visit your parents together."

"But is it bad to keep taking time off?" Jiang Lifang was concerned. She was a person who took her job very seriously and responsible; she never asked for time off unless it was for something very important.

"It’s okay, taking a few days off is not a big deal," Huo Zhekun said. If he couldn’t even do that much, he would be failing as a husband.

"Okay, I’ll listen to you," Jiang Lifang said. She was moved that her husband valued her thoughts and feelings.

In any case, from now on, they would try to find opportunities to visit her parents more often.

Jiang Lifang’s mood improved, and she finally smiled.

He Tiantian quickly let Huo Ruimin go and play with Grandma Wang. With the child playing pranks and acting cute at her side, Jiang Lifang’s mood brightened even more.

Grandma Wang never meddled in Huo Zhekun’s family matters, and she understood Jiang Lifang’s feelings as well.

Seeing that the atmosphere was pleasant, Grandma Wang said with a laugh, "Tiantian, now that you’ve graduated from college, what are your plans?"

He Tiantian originally wanted to say she planned to go into business, but seeing Huo Zhekun and Jiang Lifang there, she smiled and said, "Previously, our teacher found me and said that since my grades were good, if I wanted to stay at the school, I could apply by the time I was in my third year."

"Oh, being a teacher is also pretty good, better than being a doctor," Jiang Lifang nodded, although she liked the medical profession, she couldn’t deny that being a doctor was too exhausting.

"Hehe, many people in our class may join some government departments, but I don’t like those options; perhaps staying at school might be more suitable for me," said He Tiantian. As for going into business, she had found a partner. As long as she supplied the seasonings and capital, she wouldn’t be involved in managing the other aspects, just overlooking the accounts, which she estimated wouldn’t take up much of her time.

"You, you’ve been kind and simple since you were little. It’s quite good for you to be a teacher in school," Jiang Lifang said, "In government departments, people change over time."

Huo Zhekun chuckled quietly, without saying a word. He was the typical example of someone from a government unit!

Huo Yingjie laughed and said, "Actually, the reason Tiantian is willing to be a teacher is that college teachers have relatively fewer classes and can balance family life better."

The efforts and sacrifices He Tiantian made for this family were unknown to others, but he, as her husband, thoroughly understood.

"Tiantian is very thoughtful. When I’m working as a doctor, I can’t take care of the home. If it weren’t for your mother, Yingjie probably wouldn’t even have a hot meal to eat," Jiang Lifang said with a bitter smile, "For the sake of this family, you’d better treat Tiantian well in the future and not bully her."

"Understood!" Yingjie playfully saluted, "I will treat Tiantian well."

Grandma Wang couldn’t help but feel emotional. The relationship between Zhao Huanhuan of the big room and her mother-in-law Song Chunli was tense, and every time Song Chunli complained that Zhao Huanhuan working overtime meant she wasn’t a good mother.

It was rare for Tiantian to manage so well!

No wonder everyone up and down liked Tiantian so much!

Once home, everyone acted as if they were taking a sigh of relief, feeling exceptionally relaxed.

Before the school term started, Huang Jingli and Wu Youliang came with wedding candies to express their gratitude, bringing some spicy gifts as a thank-you for the matchmaking.

"Wow, the bride is really beautiful," He Tiantian said with a giggly smile, looking at Huang Jingli’s blushing face.

"Alright, don’t make me blush," Huang Jingli said, her powdered cheeks showing her shy bashfulness.

"Hehe!" He Tiantian laughed, "Jingli, now that you’re married, are Wu Youliang’s parents nice to you?"

Because Huang Jingli got married without informing her family, and besides, that place was no longer considered her real home.

"Yes, they are very nice to me," Huang Jingli said, "Thank you and Huo Yingjie for giving me such a warm home."

"We just pulled some strings, the most crucial part was up to you," He Tiantian said, winking, "Now that your in-laws and Wu Youliang are so good to you, you must live well. Forget the unpleasantness of the past."

"Mhm!" Huang Jingli, having come to terms with her identity, had given up on those people and was no longer as sad as before.

The in-laws lived in the county town below, her father-in-law had a job, and her mother-in-law tended the land, living a rather prosperous life.

While He Tiantian was chatting with Huang Jingli, Huo Yingjie and Wu Youliang were also talking.

"Joyous events really boost one’s spirits," Huo Yingjie laughed, "How does being a groom feel?"

"I’m already thirty years old, of course I’m happy to be a groom," Wu Youliang said candidly, content that fate had been kind to him at last, no longer needing to endure the blind dates with villagers and widows arranged by his parents and numerous aunts and uncles.

"You’re quite forthright," Huo Yingjie said, "Huang Jingli is a good person, you should treat her well considering her family background. She is fairly attractive, more than a match for you. If you cherish her and take good care of her, she will gladly spend a lifetime with you."
