Chapter 81 - 0081: Choosing a Homestead 1_1
With that, Lu Jiang took the jade bracelet and slid it onto Feng Qingxue’s wrist, which she readily accepted.
She was certain that by marrying Lu Jiang, she would not feel unworthy.
Honesty is exchanged with honesty; her openness returned by that of the Lu family.
If they didn’t trust her fully, would the Lu family dare to offer her such a valuable item, risking it being reported and plunging them back into jeopardy?
Seeing Feng Qingxue accept the betrothal gifts, Father Lu’s eyes seemed to be squinting from joy.
The last hurdle was the political review, but Father Lu was not too worried about it. No other reason, but that Feng Qingxue had a good background.
Those who have clear and acceptable backgrounds can’t fail the political review.
Feng Qingxue has a strong personality, raising her little sister alone, and getting married is a great advantage in the review, rightly aligned with the propaganda of "women holding up half the sky".
"I had a discussion with your uncle, once your marriage is fixed, he will authorize a plot for you to build a house," Father Lu suddenly remembered this and asked Lu Jiang to show Feng Qingxue around. "The future house is for you both. You decide where it would be best to put a house. While Ajiang is at home, we must buy the bricks and start building the house in spring."
On hearing this, Feng Qingxue immediately asked: "I’m not familiar with this place, where to build a house, I will trust your judgment, Uncle Lu."
Despite the cowshed not being a dilapidated shack as imagined, but a series of brick and wood structures with tiled roofs, way better than the thatched huts most common people lived in, Feng Qingxue had no intention of living in the cowshed after getting married, just the smell alone from animals and their waste was too much for her to tolerate.
