275. Chapter 275: Worry, Adding Makeup

Upon hearing that, Ji Fan looked at Ji Xue and said, "You say I don't care about you, my little sister; then do you care about me, your older brother? If you cared at all, you wouldn't have said those words today!"

She was angry!

He was still angry at her!

Ji Xue felt even more uncomfortable inside: "Brother, I don't want that either; it's really that I don't want you to marry Qiao Lihua. Haven't you seen how terrible her sister and mother talk? A woman like that, after you marry her, what benefit would she bring you?"

"Fan'er, Mother also thinks Lihua's mother and sister are a bit…"

Tian Cuifen said only a few words.

Ji Fan interrupted her and said, "Mother, may I ask you a question: if my little sister hadn't said that, would Lihua's mother and sister have said such words?"

Tian Cuifen's expression froze.

Ji Fan continued, "I know what my little sister is thinking; she's close with You Caidie and is set on me marrying her. But I don't like You Caidie; marrying her is impossible for this lifetime!"

"I won't deal with you any more!"

Ji Xue, angry, rushed into her own room, and shortly after a bang sounded.

Everyone here wasn't very happy.

The Qiao family.

Qiao Xuehua and the others weren't very happy either.

During the meal, Qiao Xuehua couldn't hold back and said, "Second sister, does Ji Fan truly like you sincerely? I'm so worried; he's not a good one."

"You child…"

Lan Yue Niang was half laughing, half crying.

Qiao Hushui pursed his lips and said, "It's normal for Xuehua to have such worries; speaking of it, I am also worried."

His own daughter hadn't married well before; he doesn't want her second marriage to also be a failure.

Qiao Lihua slowly lifted her eyes and said, "Father, Mother, you all need not worry too much; I'm certain that Ji Fan truly likes me."

Otherwise, our own daughter would be looked down upon after marrying into another family.

This time Qiao Hushui and his family prepared her dowry, which was far better than the first marriage; they not only provided everything needed for the wedding, but also gave her a hundred taels of silver as a reserve, and the jewelry they brought was also more than before.

Qiao Hushui and his family didn't actually have that much money.

The money they gave Qiao Lihua as a reserve was borrowed from Qiao Sheng.

In the blink of an eye, it was August 26.

That morning.

Qiao Lihua didn't need Qiao Hushui and the others to call; she got up and started getting ready on her own.

The Quanfú people who did her hair and makeup.

They were hired by Qiao Sheng.

Because they were from the town.

The Quanfú people arrived at the Qiao household last night.

They did Qiao Lihua's hair and makeup, and the look was much more beautiful than the makeup from her first marriage.

Qiao Xuehua and the others couldn't help but praise; Qiao Lihua looks so beautiful now.

Qiao Lihua was embarrassed by their compliments.

Adding makeup.

Qiao Sheng, the first to give, presented Qiao Lihua with a pair of jade bracelets, eighty‑eight taels of silver. He didn't give more, mainly because he had spent a lot of money in recent days, and now doesn't have much cash on hand.

Qiao Lanhua and Qiao Xuehua, not as wealthy as she, each gave a silver hairpin and a silver earring respectively.

The Gao Shi family, whom Qiao Hushui had informed, also came to add makeup today, but compared with what Qiao Sheng's group gave, theirs was rather meager.

Speaking of which,

Their relations aren't good now; having anyone among them come to add makeup is already quite good.

Hu Cuicui didn't come.

Bai Zhaodi and the Gao Shi family came.

Bai Zhaodi came to add makeup because he wanted to get on good terms with Qiao Sheng and the others, but she also wondered, given what they had done before, can relations be mended just like that?

The Gao Shi family thought the same, but ultimately it wouldn't work.

Qiao Hushui and his family invited them because they are relatives; otherwise, they would never have invited them.
