CHAPTER 134: CHAPTER 134: STOPPING AT THE DOOR

Moreover, when Jiang Wan and Fu Yu were almost about to get married, the admission letter finally arrived.

If it hadn’t been for Jiang Xin disrupting things, Fu Yu and Jiang Wan might have already married by now.

So, that’s why people say Jiang Wan is simply blessed with good fortune!

If not, she would have to spend her whole life in this village.

Though they say so.

Actually, they all think privately.

If they really got married, their marriage might not last long.

After all, Jiang Wan is going to study in the big city to broaden her horizons, and after several years, would she still appreciate this small village?

Even though Fu Yu might be good at making money, he can’t escape the fact that he’s just a farmer.

By that time, one is farming in the countryside, and the other is a teacher with a secure job—the gap between them would widen, and they wouldn’t be the enviable young couple they once were.

Besides, once a person goes to the big city, their horizons expand.

It’s inevitably going to make Fu Yu feel inferior.

As a result, Jiang Xin unexpectedly disrupted their wedding plans.

Although they outwardly resent Jiang Xin.

Privately, they say that Jiang Wan’s family should really thank Jiang Xin.

Without any hassle, they resolved a not-so-satisfactory marriage, and they’re secretly pleased.

Although Jiang Xin’s reputation for snatching a future brother-in-law isn’t good, ultimately, Jiang Wan’s family benefits from it.

After all, everyone in the village is well aware of their family’s situation.

Since Jiang Xin arrived in their village, Jiang Wan’s family’s living standards have visibly improved.

Her family is lazy and greedy. Even though Jiang Wan’s parents are in their prime, in their fifties, they don’t lift a finger and spend all day idling at home, infamous as the lazy people in the village.

Their household has no source of income; they’re fortunate to have a daughter who got into a teacher’s college in the provincial capital, a stroke of good luck.

Their son, nearly in his thirties, is still a bachelor without a wife. How can they have the confidence to remain idle?

Ultimately, it’s going to be their daughter who suffers.

If Jiang Wan starts working, she might have to support the whole family.

The mere thought of this is a mess.

Their eyes aren’t blind regarding Jiang Xin’s family’s financial status. By just looking at the girl’s attire, they know she’s from a wealthy family, coming to the village to stay with her relatives, surely due to some difficulties.

Otherwise, how could her parents allow their precious daughter to endure hardship in the village?

Furthermore, in the countryside, aside from work, there’s no other entertainment, just a fondness for gossiping.

Jiang Xin, this young girl, is pretty enough.

When she first came to their village, quite a few young men had thoughts about her.

But upon hearing she’s from the provincial capital, they quickly dismissed these ideas.

After all, in their view, she comes from a different world.

Whenever they asked the Jiang Family Member about Jiang Xin’s background, they never spoke clearly or truthfully.

They even claimed Jiang Xin was a poor city relative coming to sponge off them, but anyone with eyes could see it was a lie.

That’s outright impossible.

If asked further, Jiang Wan’s mom said Jiang Xin’s parents served wealthy families as housekeepers and drivers in the provincial capital.

As for Jiang Xin’s new clothes, they were unwanted hand-me-downs from the housekeeper’s daughter, given to her for free. Their family had no money, otherwise, why would they have relatives from the village?

Though Jiang Wan’s mother’s story seems a bit convoluted, they’re not foolish, somewhat unfortunate, but they have to accept it even if doubted. So naturally, that’s how they think.

After all, Jiang Xin’s parents monthly send her various valuable items from the provincial capital or elsewhere.

They look quite pricey.

Such clothing can only be afforded by wealthy families; which family’s young lady would generously give them so many nice clothes?

Thinking about it seems absurd.

People aren’t foolish; if they have good things, they naturally share them with the closest people, not randomly give them to a housekeeper’s daughter.

Perhaps it’s just that Jiang Wan’s family doesn’t want others to know they’re living off a little girl.

But this isn’t really their business; it’s pure curiosity and gossiping.

Jiang Xin’s actual background has nothing to do with them.

They just look down on Jiang Wan’s family for hiding things and saying nothing.

In other words, who doesn’t know the situation of their family?

Now, they feel ashamed of sponging; what were they doing before?

Even working in a factory would be more honorable.

But ever since the incident where Jiang Xin snatched Jiang Wan’s fiancé, their impression of Jiang Xin’s character severely declined.

Doing such shameful things shows her upbringing was average.

Those who initially hoped Jiang Xin would become a daughter-in-law felt relieved after this incident.

Of course, this is all just gossip behind the scenes.

On the surface, basic courtesy is maintained; they wouldn’t openly criticize her.

Soon, the police car arrived at the village entrance.

People stood afar, curiously wondering which family had summoned the police car.

Everyone’s gaze was fixed on that police car.

But they were somewhat afraid in their hearts, so they only dared to sneak glances.

Mrs. Fu, initially like the other villagers, watched excitedly, only to see the police car stop right at her house.
