Chapter 54 The attitude of the eldest son of the Su family
Su Chunlin shook his head quickly, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, Xiaoyu is your daughter, and you must make the decision on her marriage. But someone wants to marry Xiaoyu, and Xiaoyu is also willing. I Let me ask you what you mean!"
Wan was relieved. After sitting down, she quickly asked, "Which family is it? How is the family situation? What is the other person's temperament? Are they reliable? Are the other party's parents kind? Will they treat their daughter-in-law harshly?"
Wan's rhetoric was so rapid-fire that Su Chunlin didn't even have a chance to interrupt.
Su Chunsen quickly stopped him, "Listen to what Chunlin says first."
Su Chunlin laughed twice and said slowly: "The other party is the eldest son of Su Changxi, the head of our village, named Su Sheng. Brother, you grew up together when you were young. You know what kind of person Su Changxi is. His wife has a good relationship with my wife. , He is a well-rounded person who knows how to get things done. If nothing else, based on the relationship between our two families, they will definitely treat Xiaoyu well.
As for Su Sheng, he was two years older than Xiao Yu. He was originally engaged to his cousin. However, due to the three-year drought, the elders of both families passed away one after another, so they never got married. Finally, the drought was almost over, but the girl was... A cold wind took it away.
After that, Su Sheng didn't discuss the marriage again, but don't worry, he didn't discuss the marriage because he couldn't forget his cousin, but because the previous marriage was decided by his mother. After all, she was the niece of her mother's family, and she was still the unmarried daughter-in-law. , saying that it was hopeless, his mother felt uncomfortable, so she did not rush to propose marriage to her son.
This time, it was Su Sheng who fell in love with our Xiao Yu. He took the initiative to propose it to Brother Chang Xi and his wife. No, the whole family was eager to come to my house to propose marriage. I discussed it with the child’s mother and felt that this marriage was a good one. .
Firstly, they all belong to the same village, so we can take care of them. Secondly, Brother Changxi is the village chief, and Brother Changfu is still the township chief. They have a good relationship with the town officials. His family is already one of the best in our village. Sanma Su Sheng is the child we have watched grow up. He has good conduct and will take over the position of village chief in the future. If Xiaoyu marries him, his future life will definitely be good. "
Su Chunlin's mouth went dry as he spoke, so he drank some water to calm down, and then said: "Brother, sister-in-law, this is the situation. You can discuss it and come to the inn tomorrow morning to give me a confirmation."
Wan thanked her profusely, and together with Su Chunsen personally sent Su Chunlin out the back door.
The family of three returned to the house where they lived.
Wan immediately looked at Su Chunsen, "Father of the child, do you think this marriage is appropriate?"
The village chief is indeed a very good person in the village, but Wan has stayed in a wealthy family for a long time, and he really doesn't think it is that good.
Su Chunsen knew what Wan was thinking after just one ear, and he laughed and said, "If Xiao Yu is not allowed to marry Su Sheng, what kind of family do you think she can marry?"
Wan took it for granted, "It's best to have a house and a shop in the town, so you don't have to look at the sky for food, the harvest is guaranteed during droughts and floods, the parents-in-law are sensible, and the husband is responsible. This is not a high requirement!"
Suchuan on the side couldn't help but hold his forehead, "Mom, your request is not high, but you have to think about it, our family are all servants of the Bai Mansion, the younger sister is the only one who has resigned, and the uncle's family are villagers in the village. , If you really find a family like that for Xiaoyu, you have to ensure that she won't be upset by her husband's family, otherwise who can support her? "
Su Chunsen couldn't help but nod, "Achuan is right. In addition, Xiaoyu has an injury on her face. Even if she is doing well, people will know the reason for her injury, but she will inevitably be disliked and slandered by those who are interested.
If we marry into Su Changxi's family, we don't have to worry about these problems. In addition, Su Sheng himself likes Xiao Yu and won't dislike the scars on her face. It's really a good home. "
Wan was in a dilemma. In the end, her daughter's lifelong happiness was more important. In the end, she agreed to the marriage, and along with it, she gave up half of the money she had saved over the years, and asked Su Chunsen to take her to the inn after dawn.
Seeing that his parents had given such a generous dowry, Suchuan was not to be outdone. He rummaged through the boxes and took out the good things he had saved one by one, and he happened to be caught by Master Bai.
"What are you doing?" Suchuan hurriedly saluted respectfully, "Back to the young master, the younger one is packing some things and dragging my uncle back to add makeup to my sister."
"Add more makeup?" Young Master Bai raised his eyebrows. Thinking of the disfigured Su Yu, he felt inexplicably unhappy.
Suchuan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, my brother-in-law proposed marriage to my sister in the country, and my parents agreed."
Young Master Bai sneered, with an arrogant look on his face, "There are still people who want you after losing your appearance. You really are a country man who has never seen the world! Go back quickly, I will go out to meet guests in a quarter of an hour."
Suchuan's expression froze. A quarter of an hour was not enough for him to leave the house. Young Master Bai was clearly trying to make things difficult for him.
But he had to nod and bow in agreement and leave quickly.
Time was in a hurry, so he could only hand the things to Wanshi and ask Wanshi for help.
Just in time for the maid and mother-in-law in Mrs. Bai's yard to see it, Wan had to go and report to Mrs. Bai in person.
When Mrs. Bai heard that Su Yu was getting married, her reaction was similar to that of Young Master Bai, but she was better at hiding it and didn't show any emotion at all. She just asked lightly: "What kind of family is this?"
Wanshi hesitated for a moment, then considered it and said, "Madam, he is a man from this village, two years older than Xiaoyu. We were supposed to be engaged, but his fiancée died of illness before they even got married. That's why it took so long."
When Mrs. Bai heard this, she looked better and gave Wan a pair of silver bracelets inlaid with jade as a gift.
Wan took the things and left with a lot of thanks.
Turning around, he muttered to Su Chunsen, "I see Madam is not happy because Xiao Yu is getting married! If I hadn't had an idea and only picked the bad ones, I'm afraid Madam would be even more unhappy."
Su Chunsen glanced at the bracelet and said thoughtfully: "No matter what, Madam has done her best to save face. These bracelets together are estimated to be worth twenty taels, and there are gems on them, which are also worth five taels of silver. I will give them to Xiaoyu." past."
Wanshi paused, and suddenly her eyes widened in shock, "Master, I just realized now, why do you keep sending your belongings to Dongmen Village?"
She didn't realize this before, and she didn't react until now.
Su Chunsen covered Wan's mouth and shook his head seriously, "Don't talk nonsense, I just feel sorry for Xiaoyu. How can I live with someone without any money by my side when I get married? We don't have to worry about food and drink in the house. We need to take care of things. It’s not much. If you don’t give this money to your children, who will you give it to?”
Only then did Wan realize that she had said the wrong thing and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes!"
Early the next morning, Su Chunsen brought a bunch of things to see Su Chunlin and entrusted him with Su Yu's marriage.
Su Chunlin agreed one by one, and whispered in Su Chunsen's ear: "Brother, the foundation of the house has been laid. It will be done every day. There were many people working in the village. I estimate that the beams can be installed in one month and it will be completed in less than two months." , Xiao Tai’s wedding date is set after the autumn harvest, and my idea is to set Xiao Yu’s wedding date in June. What do you think?”
