Can't Take My Eyes Off You novel Chapter 881

"Hey! Why are you walking so fast?" That woman might have been plump, but she walked quite fast. After all, she had to walk through the streets and alleys all day to introduce people to each other. She had quite a quick pace.

"Teacher Li, it's been a long time. Are you free to go shopping today? Is this Xiaoxiao? Wow, such a big girl now. Is she dating anyone? Do you want me to introduce you to a few men?" The fat lady saw Lu Xiaoxiao and subconsciously thought about the few men she had in her hands. She wondered which of them were suitable to be the Lu family's son-in-law.

"There's no need. My brother-in-law said that he would personally choose the man for Xiaoxiao. He won't be at ease with anyone else choosing for her. Even his elder brother, Hai Tian, won't have a say in it." Mrs Lu's smile was forced. "Besides, Xiaoxiao isn't old. It's not a bad thing for women to get married a little later these days."

"What's not a bad thing? If they were to get married later, all the good men would have gotten married already." The fat lady had a bright smile on her face. However, her smile faded slightly when she looked at Jiang Yao again. "Is this Xingzhi's wife from the countryside? It's not that I'm criticizing you, but didn't I tell you back then that people from the countryside are quite ignorant? The Lu family has such high social standing, so if you get a daughter-in-law from the countryside, it might bring shame to your family."

"That's funny; which family doesn't have a farmer for three generations or more?" Lu Xiaoxiao sneered. "My grandfather is also a farmer!"

The fat woman's face immediately darkened. "The past is in the past, and now is the present. We have to look toward the future. One might have been a farmer in the past, but is it still the same now? Don't you know how to look forward to good things? A country bumpkin is not as sensible as folks in the city. Didn't you all hear the nonsense that your daughter-in-law spouted in front of Chen Lanying just now?"
