Seeing this, Jiang Yue turned to Xue Yan.
Xue Yan watched the woman walk away and sighed. He went back with Jiang Yue and said, ” “She has a heavy weight in her heart.”
“What? A lump?” Jiang Yue asked.
“Before Xue Dahua married her, he wanted to marry my mother,” Xue Yan said.
Jiang Yue broke out in cold sweat. That’s melodramatic…
“But at that time, my mother’s family was quite well-off in the surrounding villages. My grandfather said that if my uncle wanted to marry my mother, the betrothal gifts he would give had to be considered good in the surrounding villages. Although Xue Dahua had this intention at that time, he did not have that many betrothal gifts to give, so he gave up. He did not even send a matchmaker to ask and directly married someone else, whose family was not very well off.”
Jiang Yue listened quietly.
“After that, my father worked hard in the town every day and earned some money. My grandfather thought that my father was a good man, so he asked a matchmaker to ask my father if he was willing to marry my mother. At that time, my father didn’t know that my uncle had such thoughts, and my mother didn’t know either. In any case, my father and my mother got together just like that. ”
Jiang Yue was still listening quietly.
“But later, Xue Dahua’s wife found out about his past, and then she began to make a fuss about this matter. She was not a bad person, but she couldn’t let this matter pass… Xue Dahua couldn’t stand it, but he also knew that other than this matter, she was quite good in other aspects, so she simply didn’t hang out with my family. This was so that both families could live in peace. It’s been almost twenty years since it happened.”
In her past life, even when he became the regent, she was so unyielding that she never thought of currying favor with their family.
At the end, when his mother died, Xue Dahua’s wife traveled thousands of miles to the capital city to attend her funeral, regardless of age. At that time, she didn’t say anything, but she kept crying. She probably understood then that the matter that she had been brooding over for so many years was meaningless.
It was also from then on that he had never seen her ever again. He heard that she had moved further away with Xue Dahua.
“I didn’t know about this. Yifu told me about it.” Xue Yan said, “My parents wouldn’t tell me this, but they told me to call Xue Dahua and the others if I see them.”
Jiang Yue finally knew about the dispute between his family and Xue Dahua’s family.
“By the way,” Xue Yan added, “She and my mother used to live in the same village. They used to play well when they were girls.”
That was even more melodramatic …
Jiang Yue opened her mouth, but she did not say anything.
It was no wonder that she had a heavy weight in her heart and had been brooding for the longest time. Her husband had once wanted to marry her best friend, but he couldn’t marry her best friend, so he married her instead… just thinking about it made her feel disgusted.
When they got home and gave the things to Liu Guixia, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan went to see the five acres of barren land that they had just bought.
The title deed had the location of the five acres of barren land. Even if it was not there, it was easy to find. The five acres of barren land on the mountain that had no plants were the ones.
one of them was connected to the newly opened one acre at home for planting soybeans.
Chief Lu’s two acres were connected together.
The other two mu were the East and West.
Except for Chief Lu’s two acres, which had a lot of grass growing on them and needed to be weeded and plowed, the other three acres, because they were newly opened, had just received the deed from the government. Therefore, the land had already been plowed. There were almost no weeds on it, so they could arrange and plant things on it at any time.
