Chapter 884: I Won’t Fall For It

After the three of them had walked further away, Mrs Lu patted Jiang Yao’s hand and said, “Don’t listen to that matchmaker’s nonsense. I think that you’re great. She’s just resentful that she didn’t earn a big red packet from the Lu family back then, so she deliberately came to disturb our peace.”

“That’s right. That matchmaker has a nasty mouth.” Lu Xiaoxiao repeatedly nodded in agreement.

“Mom, I know. I won’t fall for it.” Jiang Yao smiled gently. “Speaking of which, I have to thank her for making such a scene. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known that I was so good in your eyes. I feel like if I don’t do a good job, I will let you down somehow. Perhaps I’ll be a filial daughter-in-law and spend the New Year at home with you and Dad.”

“Don’t scare me, please.” Mrs Lu burst into laughter. “We’d be delighted if you were to stay at home with us for the New Year. However, our son would probably resent us for that; he’d be waiting for you to go to the army to accompany him every day during the New Year.”

“Auntie, Sister-in-law is only saying that. Her heart is already with Brother,” Lu Xiaoxiao joked.

“You’re the smartest; you know everything.” Mrs Lu raised her hand and knocked on Lu Xiaoxiao’s head. “You may be telling the truth, but don’t you know how to keep it a secret. If you say it out loud, won’t that make your sister-in-law feel awkward?”

Mrs Lu was an open-minded person. Although she wanted more people around the house during the New Year, she also knew that Jiang Yao wanted to go to the army to accompany Lu Xingzhi. If she were to keep her here, then she would be in the wrong, and Lu Xingzhi would hate her for it.

The three women strolled around the mall for almost two hours before they decided to go. After they left the mall, they accompanied Jiang Yao to buy many local specialty products. After they packed the items, they went to the post office to send them to the address that Lu Xingzhi had provided.

After she sent Mrs Lu and Lu Xiaoxiao to the car, Jiang Yao went to meet her two brothers. In those two hours, Jiang Jie had almost gotten everything.

“Have you bought everything you need? We’ll take the car home.” Jiang Jie did not have many things in his hands, such as candy and drinks. The shop owner would send those things to their village tomorrow.

Jiang Yao nodded and then glanced at Yang Gaoshu, who was still with them. When she saw the way that woman spoke to Jiang Lei, she admired how she controlled her second brother so well.

Had Yang Gaoshu managed to coax Jiang Lei in such a short time? She wondered how she did that.

“Jiang Yao, didn’t you go shopping with your mother-in-law? Why didn’t she buy you a set of clothes?” Yang Gaoshu asked with a smile when she saw that Jiang Yao was empty-handed. “Have you prepared your clothes for the New Year? Your husband is in the army. Did he give you money to buy new clothes? Your husband didn’t come back, and your mother-in-law didn’t prepare any clothes for you?”

Jiang Lei only responded after Yang Gaoshu asked about that. “You brought us a bunch of presents. What about your own? Lu Xingzhi definitely wouldn’t have the time to prepare those for you while he’s in the army. Did you buy them? If not, let’s go. Second Brother will buy you two sets of clothes. My sister will have new clothes for the New Year.”
