After her husband died, her parents came to force her to remarry

By the evening, the yard was filled with the aroma of meat.

Zhang Quan and his family came over and their mouths were watering at the smell.

Jiang Xiaohe placed two plates of cold dishes on the table and shouted with a smile, "Come and sit down, the meal will be served soon."

Zhang Quan's daughter, Zhang Daniu, immediately followed: "Sister-in-law, let me help you."

Jiang Xiaohe didn't have many memories of Zhang Danniu, but she knew who she was: "That's great, come and help my sister-in-law carry the bowls."

"Okay." Zhang Da Nv smiled and took out the dishes washed by Wang Qiuxia, and respectfully called her aunt.

Wang Qiuxia responded with a smile.

Then she used a wooden basin to bring the cooked dumplings to the table. In fact, she was reluctant to spend so much white bread on so many dumplings, but the daughter-in-law said, when you invite people to dinner, you can't let the guests not eat enough, right? It's better to make more than less, and then there will not be enough to eat.

That's why she gritted her teeth and ate all the flour.

Jiang Xiaohe washed the chopsticks and took them out together with the wooden spoon.

Looking at the large pot of dumplings, Zeng Hua said angrily, "You guys rarely make money from selling fish, but why are you wasting money like this?"

Wang Qiuxia clapped her hands and said with a smile: "I asked you to come over for dinner. Can I cook two bowls of coarse grains for you?"

"We are all family. As long as we can eat together, it doesn't matter what we eat!"

Jiang Xiaohe just thought that this Second Aunt was really nice, and pulled Zeng Hua: "Okay, Second Aunt, be careful that the dumplings will clump together later. Now that they are done, we can just eat them."

Zhang Quan also said: "That's right, it's a rare occasion today that my elder brother and his wife invite us to get together, so we just need to be happy as a family."

"That's right!" Wang Qiuxia said with a smile.

Then dumplings were scooped out for everyone, and everyone had a full bowl. To be honest, it was not just Zhang Quan and his friends who were drooling over the dumplings. Wang Qiuxia and Jiang Xiaohe also drooled so much while they were cooking. After all, ever since Zhang Dashan passed away, they hadn't seen dumplings or even flour in their home.

When everyone took their first bite, they felt the long-lost meaty texture and it felt like Chinese New Year.

Wang Qiuxia then asked, "Why was there so much noise in the village this afternoon? We were busy at home and didn't have time to go and take a look."

"You don't know yet?" Zeng Hua said in surprise.

Wang Qiuxia and Zhang Fu looked at her, waiting for her next words.

Zeng Hua said with disdain: "It was Li Taohua and Zhang Long who were doing something shameful in the reed marsh, and they were seen by Wu Youhua."

"A shameless thing? This is happening in broad daylight."

Zeng Hua nodded: "That's right, you don't know, the people who ran over at the beginning looked around and said that the two of them didn't have their clothes on properly."

"Aren't they a little too brave?"

"Li Taohua's mother was so angry, but her husband was not at home, and she didn't know where her eldest son was. She wanted to deal with Zhang Long, but she was afraid of him, so she could only yell and quarrel on the edge of the field."

"It's such a big deal, but they're still arguing on the edge of the field. They really don't mind making things too big."

Zeng Hua nodded in agreement: "So, today, everyone in this area probably knows that her daughter has cheated on her."

Wang Qiuxia sighed and didn't comment on the incident. She just said at the end: "She deserves it. She wronged us last time and got caught this time. Fortunately, our family didn't..."

"Cough cough!" Zhang Fu coughed twice and glared at her. Wang Qiuxia immediately realized that she almost said something, so she quickly shut up and looked up at Jiang Xiaohe.

Jiang Xiaohe didn't care about those things. She took a sip of the soup and was very satisfied with the result. It was Aunt Wu who stepped up. One person was worth two!

After a moment of silence at the table, Zhang Fu asked Zhang Quan, "Daniu hasn't come back yet?"

Zhang Quan ate his dumplings while replying, "I'm still at the quarry. It's been hot lately, and the daily wages are higher, so I can't bear to come back. I want to earn more money. Anyway, there's not much work in the fields."

Zhang Fu nodded: "That's right, Daniu is not young anymore, if he earns more money, he can marry a wife."

Isn’t that the truth?

When talking about getting married, Zhang Quan and Zeng Hua both smiled.

Zeng Hua smiled and said, "These days, I have also asked a matchmaker to see if there is anyone suitable in the surrounding area. If there is one, please help us choose one."

"Of course, Daniu is also a good boy. If we want to marry him, we must marry a good one."

Zeng Hua looked back at Jiang Xiaohe and said jokingly, "What good or bad? Just marrying someone like Xiaohe will satisfy his father and I."

Jiang Xiaohe had a dumpling stuck in her throat. She quickly took two sips of soup before swallowing it.

Zhang Fu and Wang Qiuxia looked at each other, neither of them said anything, but smiled with some embarrassment on their faces.

Jiang Xiaohe took the initiative to speak: "Second Aunt is making fun of me. What's so good about me? Look at my family."

At this point she sighed, "When the time comes, you must take good care of yourself, and don't look for someone like me."

She mocked herself in this way, which eased the awkwardness.

When Zhang Danniu saw her cousin's wife for the first time, she thought that she was not only beautiful but also very intelligent.

Zeng Hua smiled awkwardly: "You see, Xiao He just loves to joke!"

Everyone laughed in agreement, and the situation finally became less awkward.

Zhang Fu shouted, "Eat, everyone, eat more."

Wang Qiuxia held Jiang Xiaohe's hand under the table. Jiang Xiaohe looked at her and smiled back at her.

Zhang Quan kicked Zeng Hua and warned her not to talk nonsense anymore.

Zeng Hua just shut up.

After the meal, I was quite happy.

On the way back, Zhang Quan said unhappily, "What did you mean by saying that at the dinner table?"

"What can I mean? I'm just praising Xiao He."

"She is the daughter-in-law of my eldest brother and his wife. It is not up to us to say whether she is good or not. We should not say those things again in the future."

Zeng Hua curled his lips, thought for a while and couldn't help but speak: "Boss, to be honest, I think Xiao He is a better girl from the bottom of my heart, and Da Shan is the one who has good taste."

Zhang Quan took a puff of his pipe and said, "Do you want our Daniu to marry her? She is a widow!"

Zeng Hua didn't say anything. She didn't dislike Jiang Xiaohe. If Daniu liked her, why not marry her? They were all family anyway.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Zhang Quan spoke again: "Don't think about it. Big brother and sister-in-law need this daughter-in-law now. We can't set our sights on her. Besides, it's not like Daniu can't find a wife. If you want to find a good one, at most we can save more money and find him a good one."

Zeng Hua felt that what Zhang Quan said was a bit annoying, and said impatiently: "I know, I know."

Zhang Da Nv followed behind the two men and didn't dare to say anything. She just felt that she had heard something extraordinary, and when her brother came back, she would tell him.
