Chapter 34 Smoke is rising from the ancestral graves
When Jiang Qing entered the courtyard, she just saw Lu Cheng coming out of the house.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she almost couldn't control herself and asked Lu Cheng if he had broken off the engagement.

Lu Cheng didn't even look at her, but said politely to Jiang Dahai: "Uncle Jiang, let's go out and talk."

"Hey, okay."

Jiang Dahai had a smile on his face, but he was worried to death.

The son-in-law had just finished talking to his daughter alone, and he came to talk to him right after. I wonder if he really wants to cancel the engagement?

……

After the father-in-law and son-in-law left the courtyard, Jiang Qing immediately walked up to Li Hongying and asked, "Mom, did the Lu family cancel the engagement?"

"Oh, you care about me so much?"

Looking at Jiang Moli who had walked out of the house at some point and was leaning against the door frame, Jiang Qing did not feel guilty, "I heard it from others when I came back."

"You believe everything they say. If someone says shit smells good, do you want to lick it and try it out?"

Fearing that the two sisters would quarrel again, Li Hongying hurried to act as a peacemaker:
"Moli, don't be angry. Xiaoqing cares about you too."

As he spoke, he pushed Jiang Qing towards the kitchen and said, "Go heat up the breakfast. Jasmine just woke up from fainting. She needs to eat something to replenish her energy."

It has been like this since she was a child. Whenever she and Jiang Moli quarrel, Li Hongying always protects her stepdaughter Jiang Moli.

She's had enough!
After saying "I'm busy" with a cold face, Jiang Qing turned around and went back to the inner room.

Li Hongying couldn't get her daughter to do it, so she had to do it herself.

After a while, steaming rice porridge and corn cakes were placed in front of Jiang Moli.

"Jasmine, Xiao Lu is not angry, right?"

Li Hongying asked cautiously.

She still has some affection and care for her stepdaughter Jiang Moli, but she is more worried that her biological daughter will be implicated.

Given Jiang Moli's unreasonable temper, if she really broke up with Lu Cheng, it would definitely hinder her daughter's marriage to Zhang Jiaming.

"Don't worry, we haven't broken off the engagement!"

Jiang Moli deliberately raised her voice.

Sure enough, when Jiang Qing in the inner room heard this, she couldn't help but hit the pillow hard.

The engagement wasn't cancelled?!

Mr. Lu, could it be that Jiang Moli has put a spell on him?
Li Hongying outside heaved a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good. Jasmine, take your time eating. Once you're full, I'll go out with you to buy a hair ornament, okay?"

Knowing that Li Hongying was thinking about buying a dowry for Jiang Qing, Jiang Moli did not expose it.

Li Hongying is a cowardly but kind stepmother. As long as the other party does not provoke her, she will not make things difficult for them.

……

"Uncle Jiang, I want to apologize to you."

Looking at Lu Cheng's serious face, Jiang Dahai's heart suddenly sank.

"Xiao Lu, my daughter Jasmine has a spoiled temper. Her mother passed away early, and I, as her father, didn't do my best to educate her. I hope you will be more tolerant of her in the future. If you really feel that you can't live with Jasmine anymore, it's okay. Just send her back to her parents' home."

Jiang Dahai knew that he could not escape the consequences even if he tried to hide on the first day, so he simply spoke frankly to Lu Cheng.

Even if Lu Cheng wants to cancel the engagement, he should at least wait until this wave of going to the countryside is over.

As long as his daughter doesn't move to the countryside, divorce is fine. At most, he can support her for the rest of her life.

"Jasmine is a wonderful person, and I love her very much. It's me who failed to fulfill my responsibilities as a husband. When I proposed, I promised you that I would do my best to protect her. It's my fault for not handling things well in advance, and I caused her to suffer. I will reflect on this."

Jiang Dahai and his men were stunned.

He was beginning to suspect that his daughter had given her son-in-law some kind of drug.

His daughter had gotten into such a big trouble that even he, her father, felt ashamed.

Instead of being angry, the son-in-law took the blame on himself.

"Uncle Jiang, don't worry. I will negotiate with the Youth League Office and make sure they don't cause trouble for you and Jasmine again." After issuing the military order, Lu Cheng turned around and strode away.

……

"Dad, what did your brother-in-law tell you?"

Jiang Dahai came back to his senses and looked at his son beside him. After a long pause, he said, "Xiaopeng, go back to your hometown."

"What are you going back for?"

"Go back and tell your uncle and his family, and invite them to come to the city on the 20th to attend your sister's wedding. By the way, go visit your great-grandfather, great-grandmother, and several great-uncle brothers and visit their graves."

Jiang Peng was completely confused. "What are you looking at? Are you looking to see if there's any grass?"

"See if there's any smoke coming out of their graves."

"..."

If it weren't for the smoke rising from the ancestral grave, how could my daughter, with her bad character, have found a treasure like Lu Cheng?!
It’s incredible!
……

The director of the Youth League Office is surnamed Zhong, and his full name is Zhong Changguo.

In the name of delivering a wedding invitation, Lu Cheng personally went to Zhong Changguo, apologized on behalf of Jiang Moli, and asked the other party to show mercy.

Lu Cheng's administrative level is higher than Zhong Changguo's, and he lowered his posture and took the initiative to show goodwill, so Zhong Changguo naturally would not take advantage of him.

After leaving the Youth League Office, Lu Cheng rushed to Guanghua Hotel without stopping.

He invited his sister-in-law Fann Wong and An Hui to taste the food at Guanghua Hotel at noon.

When he arrived, the table was already full of dishes, but no one had touched their chopsticks, obviously waiting for him.

"Why did you come just now? The food is cold."

Seeing that he came late, Anhui couldn't help complaining.

"I went to do something and was delayed."

"When you get married, there are definitely a lot of things to do. I understand. Xiaocheng, come and sit down." Wu Miaoyun smiled and tried to smooth things over.

Wu Miaoyun is a friend invited by An Hui.

In addition to Wu Miaoyun, her deskmates include Wu Lan and Qiao Jing, who all live in the same housing estate and have a good relationship with An Hui.

Including Lu Cheng and his two sisters-in-law, there were a total of 6 people at the table.

The table was arranged by Lu Cheng and Jiang Moli. All the dishes were served at the engagement banquet, and Lu Cheng also added a few high-end signature dishes.

Everyone was quite satisfied with the taste of the dishes, but compared to the dishes, Wu Miaoyun, Wu Lan and the other two were obviously more curious about Jiang Moli's origins.

Lu Cheng is considered the most troubled person in the family compound, and An Hui's hair has turned white with worry.

In fact, not only they were curious, but everyone in the military district’s family compound was curious.

What kind of outstanding girl is this that makes Lu Cheng so eager to marry her home?

Speaking of his wife, Lu Cheng couldn't help but feel happy. "My Jasmine is beautiful, smart, kind-hearted, and considerate. She's perfect in every way. She couldn't be better."

An Hui used all her life's patience to restrain herself from scolding her son: Are your eyes covered with shit?

Fann Wong even started to doubt herself.

The Jiang Moli described by the uncle and the Jiang Moli described by his daughter cannot be said to be exactly the same, but they are very different.

Wu Miaoyun, Wu Lan and Qiao Jing did not know Jiang Moli, nor did they know Jiang Moli's background.

After hearing Lu Cheng praise Jiang Moli to the skies, I believed it all.

Given Lu Cheng's pickiness, he wouldn't even look at her unless she was an extremely good girl.

Everyone was eating and chatting, when Qiao Jing suddenly brought up the funny story of Jiang Moli being put on display by the Educated Youth Office.

Of course, she didn't know at that time that the heroine who was being put on display was the perfect daughter-in-law that Lu Cheng mentioned.

"I heard from the waiter at the restaurant that this guy is the number one lazybones in the machinery factory's family quarters. He's been lazy all day and never done anything to earn his keep. He even had the audacity to challenge the Youth League Office, angering them and causing him to be paraded around. And despite all that, he even managed to find an officer. I don't know who's so unlucky as to have such a troublemaker."
