Chapter 337: Becoming a Monk
Xie Jiaojiao didn't want to waste time talking to Xie Meng'er, so she turned around and went to the bathroom.
Xie Meng'er stopped her, pulled her arm and said:
"Aunt, as long as you don't tell the He family my true identity, I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life."
Xie Jiaojiao glanced at her.
How could Xie Jiaojiao not know what she was thinking?
For Xie Meng'er, she might have saved He Hu, and it might have been a piece of cake at the time, but later she found out that her mother was dead and she had nowhere to go. It happened that He Hu told her her home address, so she thought about looking for the person she had saved. Then she saw that the He family was a wealthy family, and she immediately became interested in getting close to this family, so that in the future, she would never have to worry about food and drink.
Pulling his arm out of her grasp:
"When you came to my house, you knew that He Hu was already discussing marriage with another girl, right?"
Xie Meng'er's eyes obviously dodged: "I...I don't know."
Looking at her eyes, Xie Jiaojiao understood everything.
"Since you know that he is discussing marriage, do you know that the person they were talking about marrying was my husband's cousin?"
Xie Meng'er was obviously stunned, and looked at Xie Jiaojiao in astonishment: "Aunt...Aunt, this...this I really don't know."
Xie Jiaojiao waved her hand: "Alright, stop talking. Anyway, this marriage is not going to happen because of you. You think that if you get married to the He family, you will have no worries about food and clothing in the future. That's your business. You are just a stranger to me. I don't care who you are, and I don't even bother to tell the He family your identity."
After saying that, Xie Jiaojiao turned around and left. Her bladder was about to explode, and she was still talking nonsense here!
Xie Meng'er didn't say anything this time, and the maid came over: "Miss."
The maid followed her gaze and asked, "Young lady, do you know Madam Jiang?"
"do not know!"
The maid put the cloak on her and said, "Young lady, you don't know, Madam Jiang is very powerful."
"is it?"
"That's right. I heard that most of the inns and restaurants in Jiangbo City are owned by them. It was all thanks to this young lady that they saved the day..."
While Xie Meng'er was walking in the opposite direction, she listened to the maid talking about Xie Jiaojiao's deeds in Jiangbo City.
Xie Meng'er suddenly thought, if the family had not been separated, and the relationship had not been severed, relying on Xie Jiaojiao, would she be able to live like this now? Instead of living under someone else's roof like now. She was afraid that she would make a wrong step.
After Xie Jiaojiao came out of the toilet, she felt finally relieved. However, when she thought of Xie Meng'er also staying at the He family, she felt even more unlucky for some reason. If she hadn't agreed to stay for dinner, she would have wanted to leave immediately. She sighed and thought that as long as Jiang Huaian fell, she would immediately sell her shares and break off all ties with the He family as soon as possible.
On the other side, He Hu started quarreling with his mother in his own yard.
"I said, I won't marry Xie Meng'er, I won't! Mom, don't force me!"
Mrs. He said anxiously, "But child, Meng'er has lived in our house for such a long time, and many people outside know that she saved your life. What do you want me to do?"
He Hu covered his head in pain: "I told you at the time that I would just let you adopt her as my adopted daughter. I always wanted to marry Yan'er. You obviously liked her at the beginning, so why did you suddenly disagree later!"
When this was mentioned, Mrs. He fell silent.
Finally, she sat on the chair, threw away the handkerchief in her hand, and said helplessly: "Anyway, you should know that mother does all this for your own good! Li Yan'er is good, with good looks and a good family background! But she...she is just not suitable for you!"
"What's inappropriate?"
Madam He hesitated for a long time before finally speaking: "Li Yan'er had an engagement with the boy from the Jiang family before!"
He Hu stared at his mother and shouted, "Mom!"
Mrs. He was startled by him.
"You are asking for death, shouting so loudly, I am not deaf."
"Just because of such a small matter, you won't let me marry Yan'er?"
Mrs. He looked indifferent: "What else can it be? Which wealthy family would want a woman whose engagement has been broken off? No one else wants her, so why should our family want her?"
He Hu was so angry that his chest was heaving. "Yan'er told me about this. How could they have an engagement? It was just an old man in the family who said that! Yan'er never hid anything from me!"
Mrs. He didn't care: "Anyway, this matter is a foregone conclusion now. Li Yan'er is gone. Look how good Meng'er is! She is diligent and sensible. The most important thing is that she is not too old. At her age, it won't be a problem for her to have three, five or six children in the future!"
At the end, Mrs. He said this with a smile, and it seemed that she was really satisfied with Xie Meng'er.
He Hu's face was full of anger: "If you think she is good, then marry her yourself. If you think she can give birth to a son, then let her be Dad's concubine! Anyway, I don't mind having more brothers and sisters."
"Snapped!"
Mrs. He angrily slapped He Hu in the face, and then regretted it afterwards.
"Son, mother, I didn't mean it, but how could you talk to me like that?"
He Hu smiled softly, looking up at Madam He, with no resentment or anything else in his eyes: "Mother, I really like Yan'er, but if you are stubborn and insist on making me marry Xie Meng'er, then I will become a monk."
"You...are you trying to piss me off to death?"
He Hu looked like he had lost all hope in life. "I didn't have anyone I liked before, and you urged me to get married every day. I finally met someone I liked, and we were talking about marriage, but you didn't like her because of this little thing. When Xie Meng'er came home, I promised her that I would take care of her food and clothing for the rest of her life and recognize her as my sister, but you insisted on dragging grandma along and asking her to marry me, and you even said this and that in front of Yan'er! It made her feel embarrassed, and made her separate from me. Every time I wanted to go find Yan'er, you threatened to die, which made me embarrassed. So, I will become a monk tomorrow, and you will stop wanting me to marry Xie Meng'er!"
He Hu said this firmly, turned around and walked outside.
Mrs. He called him several times, but he did not turn back. It was not until this time that she wondered if she had really done something wrong.
But why did she do all this? It was for the reputation of the He family. Seeing that the He family was getting better and better, if outsiders knew in the future that they married a woman who had been rejected, what would others say!
She couldn't help but feel aggrieved. She felt that He Hu didn't understand her, and even more so that Li Yan'er was annoying. She had actually bewitched her son so much that he dared to go against her. Fortunately, the marriage didn't take place in the first place, otherwise, when she got married, this son would no longer be her son!
When she thought of this, Mrs. He immediately got up and went to find her mother-in-law. How could her son become a monk? If he became a monk, the He family would be cut off from the incense...
