Transmigrated as a Peasant Baby Who is Pampered by All-Chapter 291 - 220: Thoughts

This little incident didn’t cause any waves in the Jiang family. Apart from Xiaomi scaring herself at the beginning, everything else went on as usual.

Xiaomi and Jiang Wei’s birthdays are in the late January, just half a month away.

The day before the Lantern Festival, Jiang Hu specially bought some good wine and food from the town, then invited the village chief and Liu Yang’s family over for dinner.

Well, Liu Yang came with his family, but the village chief came by himself.

Before leaving the house, the village chief’s wife was all smiles: "It must be that Erniang and them have thought it through and took my words to heart."

If this works out, there would surely be a nice thank-you fee for matchmaking.

Even though the family’s conditions have improved a lot over the years, who would complain about having too much money?

It’s just that there are no girls in the village the same age as Jiang Yu, otherwise it wouldn’t be an outsider’s turn.

The Jiang family can now be considered the best family in Fu’an Village.

Let alone Jiang Yu, even Wei Ziang has quite a few admirers.

As for Jiang Xiaoxue, no one dares to say anything because a few years ago, Jiang Hu got upset when he thought someone wanted to propose for Xiaoxue.

This matter was spread by Liu Yang, so everyone in the village knows about it.

The village chief ignored his wife’s words, even rolling his eyes at her.

"You’re always making a fuss. Jiang Yu is at least a student now. Do you think you can just get him any village girl and he’d agree?"

Auntie Xie pursed her lips: "It’s like Jiang Yu isn’t a village boy himself. Besides, that girl’s mother told me she’s very diligent, what’s so bad about that?"

The village chief shook his head: "You believe whatever people say. If she’s such a good girl, she’d be eager to get married and follow along to the city, wouldn’t she?"

"I tell you, maybe the purpose is to latch onto the Jiang family, so the whole family can move to the city with the girl."

The Jiang family is indeed a big household in the village now. A couple of years ago, when Jiang Yu hadn’t gone to the city and hadn’t passed the student exams, people from ten miles around with daughters did have some ideas.

Just last year, Jiang Yu went to the county for studies, and in just half a year, passed the student exams. By the look of it, he’ll probably aim for the scholar exams in a few years. People have slightly let go of that idea.

However, not everyone thinks this way. Some people still believe they should marry their daughters into the Jiang family before Jiang Yu becomes a scholar. Do they think he would divorce them after he passes the scholar exam?

Many people have these ideas in private, but since the Jiang family doesn’t socialize much, these words seldom reach them.

As a village chief, he’s been interacting with surrounding villages over the years, so he naturally knows more than Jiang Hu.

So when his wife said someone wanted her to matchmake for Jiang Yu, with a generous reward, he knew it wasn’t that simple.

He tried to persuade her a few times, but she didn’t listen, so he let it go. He doesn’t think others saying things means the Jiang family will believe them.

The last time his wife came back from the Jiang family, he was even more certain.

So when he heard his wife bring it up again, he was somewhat dismissive.

But obviously, Auntie Xie doesn’t think so. She snorted: "What do you know? Now Jiang Yu is grown up, what if he marries a girl from the county?"

Village Chief: "If he marries, so be it. If he has the capability, can you stop him?"

Auntie Yang was distraught: "You don’t understand. What if he never comes back, or if his father-in-law finds out Xiaomi is Little Lucky Star, and takes the whole family to the county?"

"Think about it, Fu’an Village has been better than surrounding villages in recent years thanks to Little Lucky Star, allowing us to stand tall outside."

"If Little Lucky Star is taken away by Jiang Yu’s in-laws, I fear you might not even hold the village chief position anymore."

Auntie Yang grew more frustrated as she spoke, finally glaring as if these things had already happened.

Initially dismissive, the village chief furrowed his brows after hearing his wife’s explanation: "Is it that serious? Jiang family is big and established now. How could they leave just like that?"

"It’s just a precaution. Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival; if nothing unexpected happens, Jiang Yu will leave in a couple of days, and Jiang Hu inviting you for dinner today must be about this matter."

The more Auntie Xie thought about it, the more she was convinced this was the case.

"When you get to the Jiang family, talk to Jiang Hu properly. It’s best if we bring the girl over tomorrow and let her leave with Jiang Yu. This way, Jiang’s in-laws wouldn’t be too far, staying near Xiangma Town."
