Chapter 2506: Chapter 2506: Seeking Peace and Quiet (4)
"Looks like you’ve got good fortune." Yang Ruxin chuckled.
"Yeah, I think so too. If I found out after getting married, I’d go crazy." Li Jiaya said, taking a big bite of a peach from the table.
"Shouldn’t such a big family look for someone of equal status? Why would they search for a main wife in the village?" Feng Zilan, who grew up in a grand household, naturally knew the intricacies involved and found it surprising, "After all, not just anyone can become a family head’s main wife." It requires a background, and with Li Jiaya’s upbringing and experience, forget being a main wife; marrying into a big family doesn’t fit. Just the rules alone would drive this girl crazy.
"How would I know?" Li Jiaya shrugged.
"Just refuse, right? Your parents aren’t the type to sell their daughter for money." Yang Ruxin looked at Li Jiaya, "So why are you getting all worked up?"
"My mom simply refused them outright." Li Jiaya shrugged, "Originally, I thought it was over, but then the man claimed he fell in love with me at first sight. As long as I agree, he’ll dismiss all his concubines when we return." As she spoke, she rubbed her arm, clearly getting goosebumps, "I asked him, can you dismiss your son too?"
"How did he respond?"
"He said nothing, just mentioned the child is innocent." Li Jiaya snorted, "I told him not to bother me, yet here he is chasing me to my home."
"So you came to see me not to hang out but to hide and relax, ditching the drama?" Yang Ruxin rolled her eyes at Li Jiaya but felt something was odd about the situation.
"What else can I do? Surely you wouldn’t want me wandering outside in this heat?" Li Jiaya displayed a pitiful expression, not directed at Yang Ruxin, but at Dong Wenxiu and Feng Zilan instead, "Aunt Wenxiu, Aunt Feng, you wouldn’t be so heartless, right?"
"You silly girl, you can stay here overnight." Dong Wenxiu ruffled Li Jiaya’s hair.
"Aunt Wenxiu, you’re the best, you’re like my real aunt."
Yang Ruxin put a hand on her forehead, feeling things wouldn’t be so simple.
Sure enough, after just an hour, Li Yi and his wife arrived, followed by a handsome young man—Lian Jinshu, the one who fell for Li Jiaya at first sight.
Li Jiaya wore a dissatisfied expression. If her parents hadn’t come, she probably would’ve turned around and left again.
Dong Wenxiu pulled Li Lengshi aside: "Cuicui, why did you bring him here?"
"That Mr. Lian said he wanted to speak face-to-face with Jiaya; we couldn’t very well refuse him." Leng Cuicui showed a helpless face, "Honestly, my husband and I initially thought it wouldn’t work out. But Mr. Lian came to our home with such sincerity, apologizing profusely, and what he said made sense. Concubines, after all, are servants and don’t enter the family register. As long as Jiaya agrees, she’ll be the main wife, with all formalities observed, and she’ll head the family. My husband and I..."
Dong Wenxiu sighed, unsure of what to say.
Although the two were whispering outside, Yang Ruxin, with her keen hearing, could hear their conversation clearly. She knew that Li Yi and his wife were generally soft-hearted people, and Leng Cuicui, with her sharp tongue but tender heart, usually capitulated to a soft approach. With such genuine sincerity, they definitely couldn’t bring themselves to refuse.
