The newly married reborn cold-faced boss dotes on his delicate wife

Jiang Tingxia picked up a piece of pork ribs for the wilted An Xi, "An Xi, eat more."

"Look at you. You've lost a lot of weight in just a few days."

An Xi forced a smile.

Jiang Tingxia reached out and pinched the thigh of Li Changpu who was sitting next to her, and said to An Xi, "I don't think the one who came to see us last time was good. Let's look for someone else."

An Xi's eyes dimmed a little, "Maybe she doesn't like me."

Jiang Tingxia quickly changed the subject, pinching Li Changpu's thigh as she spoke, "This place is not short of men. If this one doesn't work, let's look at the next one. Don't take this as a big deal."

Li Changpu hissed in pain and glanced at Jiang Tingxia who was talking to An Qian. She was really ruthless.

He lowered his voice and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "Why are you pinching me?"

Jiang Tingxia leaned over, smiled but didn't really smile, and whispered, "Who told you to introduce someone who is unreliable?"

Jiang Tingxia twisted his fingers around Li Changpu's thigh, and Li Changpu almost gasped.

He opened his eyes, calmly grabbed Jiang Tingxia's hand, and pressed it on his thigh to prevent her from strangling him again.

An Xi looked depressed, "Listen Sister Xia, Wen Hai will not have enough time to issue the travel certificate."

She sighed, "If this continues, I'm afraid I'll have to take Grandpa back."

Jiang Tingxia was also frustrated after hearing this. Looking at Li Changpu, she thought helplessly, should she really consider the illiterate person he introduced?

……

Zhang Hongxiang suddenly sat up from the bed, startling Zhao Yong. "Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night? What's wrong with you?"

Zhang Hongxiang was quite excited, "I know who to introduce to Tingxia's sister."

Seeing her happy expression, Zhao Yong couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who is it?"

Zhang Hongxiang asked mysteriously, "How is Liang Mancang?"

"I ran into him in the cafeteria today and talked for a few words. As I was talking, I thought of Ting Xia, her sister. They are such a good match."

Zhao Yong snorted and turned over, "I thought you had a good idea."

"If Lao Li's family likes Liang Mancang, they don't need you to be a matchmaker."

"Lao Li went to negotiate peace himself."

Zhang Hongxiang said, "Her sister has been rejected so many times in the past few days. Even if she is a fairy, she still has to keep her feet on the ground."

"Liang Mancang is pretty good in terms of her conditions. She's good-looking and educated. The only problem is that she's a little older and holds a lower position."

The more Zhang Hongxiang thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to her. If the deal was successful, she could get a big red envelope as a matchmaker.

"I'll talk to them tomorrow."

"I can't make this marriage happen just by talking."

Zhao Yong said, "I think if you tell him, Lao Li's wife will beat you out with a broom.

Zhang Hongxiang exclaimed, "No way."

"Why not? Lao Li's wife has that kind of temper."

Zhao Yong let out a sigh of relief, and everything was self-evident. He had always had a bad impression of Jiang Tingxia.

Zhang Hongxiang thought, she should try to mention it first, and if she saw that their faces were not happy, she could just change her words.

So the next day she went to visit Jiang Tingxia's house.

She chatted for a while, then took a sip of water to ease her nervousness, and said, "Tingxia, I went to the canteen yesterday to get some meat dishes for my kids, and I ran into a man named Liang Mancang. He's actually a fellow villager of mine and Lao Zhao's. We're from the same town, and we're related, so we visit each other often."

As Jiang Tingxia listened, she understood what Zhang Hongxiang meant, which was about introducing a partner to An Qian, so she continued listening.

Zhang Hongxiang said, "This man is very tall, about the same height as your captain Li. He is well educated and has good handwriting. He wrote the couplets for my family during the Chinese New Year."

Zhang Hongxiang then said the words she had thought of yesterday to praise Liang Mancang, "He is a warm-hearted person. If you need help, ask him for it. He will definitely help you."

"He is a man of talent. He can even mend his own clothes with an embroidery needle."

Zhang Hongxiang slapped her thigh and said, "He's not married yet, and I immediately thought of you, my girl. What do you think of this?"

Jiang Tingxia glanced at An Xi who was wiping the table nearby, and did not draw any conclusion. Zhang Hongxiang had been talking for so long, and all she did was to praise people, so she asked a few questions.

"How old is this person?"

Zhang Hongxiang suddenly lost her excitement. "This man is a bit older, twenty...nine."

Jiang Tingxia's face darkened. She was ten years older than An Xi.

She didn't have the energy to ask more questions, but An Xi's marriage had been blocked everywhere these days, so she had to patiently ask, "What is his rank in the army?"

Zhang Hongxiang felt uneasy. Why did he ask two questions that hit the nail on the head right away? But she had no choice but to answer, "Squad leader."

Jiang Tingxia's heart sank, and he asked again, "Is he from the city?"

Zhang Hongxiang swallowed her saliva and said, "My hometown is in the countryside."

Jiang Tingxia glanced at Zhang Hongxiang, let out a breath, and looked unhappy. How could Zhang Hongxiang be so unreliable that she dared to introduce anyone?

At the age of 29, he has not been promoted yet. In the end, he will most likely retire and go home. If An Xi marries him, she will have to follow him back to his hometown in the countryside to farm.

Zhang Hongxiang also saw that Jiang Tingxia was not satisfied, so she quickly tried to make amends, "He is in good spirits and looks good. The most important thing is that he is a good person, which makes him a better wife."

"I told him about your sister's request, and he said he could accept it."

Jiang Tingxia wanted to kick him out. She asked Li Changpu to introduce a military officer to An Xi at least. But Zhang Hongxiang, on the other hand, was willing to make such a condition a reality as soon as she said it.

Zhang Hongxiang hurriedly explained, "I didn't introduce him to you blindly. Once you meet him, you will know that my sister-in-law is sincerely looking for a partner for your sister."

"Anyway, let's meet first."

Jiang Tingxia became angrier the more he listened. What was the point of meeting them under such conditions? An Qian could have a good life with him.

At this time, An Xi, who had been quiet all the time, suddenly said, "Listen, Sister Xia, I agree to meet you."

Zhang Hongxiang showed a happy expression, "Right, let's just sit down and talk. Whether it works or not still depends on your approval."

Jiang Tingxia looked unhappy, but he couldn't lose face for An Xi. After sending Zhang Hongxiang away with a stern face, he pulled An Xi and said, "Why did you agree? That person is almost thirty years old. It's not suitable for you."

An Xi shook her head and said, "Listen, Sister Xia, with my conditions, it's good enough that others don't pick me. How can I pick others?"

Jiang Tingxia was unhappy, "Why do you think so?"

"How are you any worse than others? You are young and pretty, well-educated, and have some extra money. You are more than qualified to be a military officer."

An Xi had a bitter look on her face. "I don't care whether he is an officer or not. The most important thing is that he has to be honest and kind."

"Listen, Sister Xia, you know the situation of my grandfather and me. It is very troublesome to live with me. I have to take care of an old man who is paralyzed in bed and can't even eat or go to the toilet by himself. I have to go to the hospital again and again. As time goes by, how to treat us depends on the conscience of that man."

An Xi looked at the door and said, "I just heard from the sister-in-law next door that he is a warm-hearted person. This is good and suitable for me."

Jiang Tingxia looked at An Xi's numb face and felt very distressed. "An Xi, don't be so pessimistic."

Jiang Tingxia thought helplessly, if only a single woman would not be targeted or bullied, then An Xi could live a stable life with her grandfather with the money. Why would she have to find a man to support her? But the environment was like that and she had no choice.

During that experience in Wenhai, An Xi was almost eaten alive as a piece of fat meat. It’s really scary to think about it.

Jiang Tingxia held An Xi's hand and tried to comfort her, "I'm still here. I won't ignore you."

An Xi felt mixed emotions, and finally just said, "Ting Xia, thank you."

Even though Jiang Tingxia said that she would not ignore her, from An Xi's perspective, there was no way she could stay in her house and disturb her and her brother-in-law.

These days, because she, her grandfather and Li Changpu all slept in the dormitory, the couple were separated every day, which made An Xi feel uncomfortable. Moreover, due to her grandfather's health condition, the room was always filled with a lingering smell. Jiang Tingxia was such a particular person, but he just endured it.

An Xi agreed to meet the man, but she was also anxious. She didn't want to cause any more trouble to Jiang Tingxia and his wife. She accepted that the man's conditions were not so good. Anyway, her life was already like this. What else could she complain about? It would be better to cut the Gordian knot. At least it would be better than being targeted and deprived of her entire family in Wenhai.

Seeing Jiang Tingxia's worried face, An Qian smiled. She didn't want Jiang Tingxia to worry too much, so she comforted her, "Sister Tingxia, don't make that expression. I just said I agree to meet her, not to get married right away. Who knows, he might be a really good person."

Since An Xi said so, Jiang Tingxia agreed to their meeting.
