Transmigrated as a Peasant Baby Who is Pampered by All

Chapter 706: Chapter 479: The Family Will Depend on You from Now On

When they saw the two chatting and laughing, coming out to eat together, and even sitting close, even dining together seemed more familiar than before, everyone knew what these two meant.

Jiang Hu and Jiang Wei both had visible surprise on their faces, but the others seemed not at all surprised.

However, even so, after dinner, everyone couldn’t wait to separate the two to ask them questions.

Xiaomi tugged Zhou Ying away, while Jiang Hu and Jiang Wei stopped Jiang Yu, and the Second Aunt looked at this, then at that, and turned to follow Xiaomi’s side.

”Yingying, are you really going to marry my brother?”

Relying on their familiarity, Xiaomi didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly.

Second Aunt followed along but said nothing, just stood aside and listened.

Zhou Ying smiled and said, ”Of course, I mentioned before, right? Marrying each other is not a bad thing for neither him nor me.”

Xiaomi blinked, still finding it a bit unbelievable: ”Isn’t this too sudden? Just deciding to marry like that, without much consideration?”

Most importantly, isn’t there a need to develop feelings?

Second Aunt nodded along, worrying about the children’s marriage affairs, but this indeed seemed too sudden. She hadn’t prepared anything yet, and now they’re getting married?

Zhou Ying said, ”I’ve considered it well before coming. As for your big brother, don’t worry, he’s not impulsive. He must’ve balanced everything before making this decision.”

After speaking, she looked at Second Aunt beside her: ”Right, Aunt Jiang, although I’m of age and usually like wielding swords and such, my health is fine, and I’m still a maiden, so you can be assured of that.”

Second Aunt heard such ’bold words’ for the first time, was stunned for a moment, and then waved her hands quickly: ”No, no, that’s not what I meant.”

Being a magistrate’s daughter, she naturally has manners.

Xiaomi had mentioned before, although it seemed like Yingying was ’running away from home,’ there were actually many people protecting her, so she wouldn’t encounter any danger.

It seems the relationship between the two families has progressed further, and Zhou Ying, unlike before, no longer pretends to be naively lively, but instead appears more mature and stable.

Seeing that Second Aunt didn’t know how to react, Zhou Ying sat down beside her, holding her arm.

”Aunt Jiang, I know you are worried that Jiang Yu might have wronged himself regarding his lifelong matters for the sake of his future, but you should also know that Jiang Yu isn’t a child anymore. He surely acts after thorough consideration.”

”Moreover, we’ve agreed that after marriage, he will handle the outside while I handle the inside. Whether staying in the Capital City or moving afar afterward, there’s no need to worry about matters inside the courtyard.”

Of course, the premise is, without the issue of not having children, no concubines or mistresses are allowed, that’s her requirement.

If it truly ends up with no offspring from her, she herself would select a suitable, non-troublesome concubine to bear children for Jiang Yu.

These matters have already been discussed earlier.

Second Aunt opened her mouth, speechless for a long time. The young lady had spoken this far and her own son had agreed; if she said anything more, she’d be undermining her son’s marriage.

Beside them, Xiaomi tugged at her mother’s sleeve: ”I think it’s also pretty good, after all, Sister Yingying and Big Brother are of similar age and have known each other for many years, which is certainly better than marrying someone randomly they don’t know.”

If what Sister Yingying said is true, then when her brother goes to the Capital City, who knows if the Emperor might grant a marriage.

Who knows by then who the woman might be, what she looks like, or what her personality is?

Moreover, Xiaomi thought a bit further.

Their family, even if titled as marquis, have never been to the Capital City and have always been working the fields – bluntly put, they’re dirt farmers in the eyes of others.

Even if now they hold a marquisate, those officials in the Capital City might outwardly respect them but inwardly look down on them.

After all, be it rice or wheat, whether production is high or low, those wealthy people and aristocratic groups totally don’t lack any of it.

To them, increased rice and wheat production means nothing.

Only ordinary commoners need such grains to fill their bellies.

In such a context, if Brother really marries a noble woman from the Capital City, it might be challenging to have a harmonious marriage.

Sister Yingying, though also a noblewoman, has a straightforward nature, and back when their family were just ordinary common folk, they were already closely knit, naturally avoiding the aforementioned issues.

Furthermore, Xiaomi secretly thought that since she could come to these realizations, there’s no way her brother hadn’t thought the same.

Perhaps Brother has always been determined to pursue a bureaucratic career rather than inheriting the marquis title, likely due to this reason.

The more she thought, the more she felt it was very correct, even the younger brother going into the military might also have this aspect as a reason.

Gaining a military title would at least elevate the family’s status, especially as the family had no title back then.

Though Xiaomi just pondered in her heart and didn’t say it out loud.

Second Aunt thought for a moment and also felt that what they said made sense, so she didn’t dwell on it further.

On the other side, Jiang Yu was similarly questioned thoroughly by his father and younger brother, confirming he hadn’t acted on impulse, so they didn’t say much either.

It was just that when Jiang Yu came out of the study, he saw Wei Ziang leisurely sitting in the courtyard making tea, and he rolled his eyes significantly.

But then, he quickly thought that his three siblings, including his parents, were all so simple-minded, and having Wei Ziang watching over them was indeed good.

As for Little Snow, he wasn’t worried, because Liu Ze isn’t foolish, and the couple is focused on their own little life with no involvement in officialdom.

Basically, as long as they don’t go out of their way to do something illegal, the couple wouldn’t encounter any danger.

And with Wei Ziang, the big-tailed wolf, keeping an eye on things at home, even if he temporarily parted ways with them later, he wouldn’t have to worry about the family being scammed.

Thinking like this, Jiang Yu took a seat in front of Wei Ziang, naturally accepting the tea cup Wei Ziang handed over.

”If I’m not home in the future, the family is relying on you.”

After all, there’s no counting on others; the younger brother has only farming matters on his mind, as for anything else? Better forget it.

Wei Ziang smiled and promised: ”Don’t worry, big brother. This is my home too; I certainly won’t let anyone bully it.”

Though he’d long known this, hearing it directly from Wei Ziang relieved him further.

Jiang Yu raised his cup: ”Tea instead of wine.”

Wei Ziang also raised his cup, and as they lightly clinked them, everything was said without words.

Thus, when the others came out, what they saw was Wei Ziang and Jiang Yu rarely sitting together alone, being able to chat and laugh amiably.

It seemed that prior to this, everyone knew somewhat that Jiang Yu had been rather harsh towards Wei Ziang.
