Chapter 196 Persuading Marriage

Chapter 196: Persuading Marriage

Because of this, many families would often arrange marriages for their children early in order to seek peace of mind, and child marriages are not uncommon.

In the eyes of Zhuang Ruman and Song, Zhuang Yuanren is a treasure. They will not easily look down on girls from ordinary families. It is not impossible that they want to find someone else for Zhuang Qinghe first.

Besides, Zhuang Qinghe is a girl. The marriage is set. When the wedding date is about right, the man has to give the woman a gift. Zhuang Ruman's family is living a tight life now...

The purpose of Zhuang Qinghe's engagement is self-evident.

Although Song was cruel, she was a brainless person who loved her children. This was probably not her idea. It seemed that only the insidious, cunning and selfish Zhuang Ruman could have come up with this idea.

It is said that even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. Zhuang Ruman was willing to sell his daughter. This kind of person is really...

Zhuang Qingning guessed it clearly in his heart, but he didn't intend to say too much to the younger Zhuang Qingsui. He just said: "I think their family also has their own ideas. It's better that this matter has nothing to do with us, so there is no need to worry about it."

"Of course I don't worry about their family affairs, but when I heard Auntie talking about this, it reminded me of you, my sister."

Zhuang Qingsui put down her chopsticks and said, "Sister, as I recall, you are only slightly younger than Zhuang Qinghe, maybe only a few months?"

"Yeah, it seems so." Zhuang Qingning searched his memory briefly and nodded.

"Now that she's talking about marriage, shouldn't I also consider this matter?" Zhuang Qingsui tilted her head, looking serious: "There's no elder in our family, so I'm afraid no one can help me worry about this matter. Why not entrust this matter to aunt and let her help take care of it?"

"Our family is close to Aunt's family, so it's only natural for Aunt to take care of this matter. If you're embarrassed to bring it up, I'll go talk to Aunt."

Zhuang Qingning was stunned.

Was she being urged to get married? At the age of thirteen? In her previous life, as an older single woman, Zhuang Qingning had been urged to get married by her elders in various ways, which was very annoying. She thought that now that her soul had traveled to ancient times, she would not experience such an embarrassment again in her current situation, but she did not expect that history would be surprisingly similar.

And it was done by an eight-year-old sister.

Zhuang Qingning pushed his chin back with great difficulty and stretched out his hand to pinch Zhuang Qingsui's cheek: "What are you thinking about in your little head all day long? How old is your sister, and you are already thinking about arranging a marriage for me?"

"My aunt said that when it comes to marriage, you don't have to worry about age, and you don't have to get married right away. You can wait a few years and settle the matter first."

Zhuang Qingsui said seriously, "Sister, talk about marriage first. After it's settled, wait two years. This age is just right for marriage. It won't delay anything. Isn't it a good idea?"

Zhuang Qingning blinked his eyes again and again, and circled around Zhuang Qingsui again and again, and finally put down the half bowl of corn and pork ribs soup in his hand.

"Tell me now, you are thinking about arranging a marriage for me because you feel that my sister is annoying you all the time and you want to marry her off as soon as possible?"

Zhuang Qingning asked.

"I don't think so." Zhuang Qingsui waved his hands and explained hurriedly: "I just..."

Zhuang Qingsui lowered his head and twisted the hem of his clothes with his hands. He refused to stop even when his knuckles turned white.

"Just what?" Zhuang Qingning asked.

Zhuang Qingsui raised his head, bit his lower lip, looked at Zhuang Qingning, and said, "I just..."

"I was just thinking that it's too tiring for my sister to run the tofu shop alone, to worry about the shop, and to think about me. If my sister can get married, her husband's family will probably be able to help her, and she won't have to work so hard in the future..."

So that's why.

It was because she was concerned that her sister was too hard-working every day that she wanted to find a helper for her.

Zhuang Qingning sighed, and patted Zhuang Qingsui's head: "Sister knows what you are thinking. I know that you love and care about me, and you are afraid that I will be too tired, but this matter..."

"Well, when it comes to marriage, it's all about fate. It also depends on whether my sister likes it or not. If she doesn't like it, even if we get married, I'm afraid she'll just treat the other party as a servant. If that's the case, it would be better to just spend money to hire a few servants. Not only would it save effort, but it would also give you peace of mind."

"And if the marriage we're talking about is as loving as my parents, or as supportive as Uncle Yonghe and Aunt He, then that's fine. But if the other party has ulterior motives and thinks that what I'm doing is my own business and has nothing to do with him, and doesn't care, what should I do?"

"If you are unlucky, and you meet someone who wants nothing more than to take away the assets you have worked so hard for, not only will all the things I have worked so hard to prepare be used as wedding dresses for others, but I will also have to worry about respecting his parents, taking care of his brothers and sisters, and dealing with trivial matters between sisters-in-law. In the end, not only will he not feel sorry for me, but he will also want to use the money I earned to take a few concubines, and he will also quarrel with me anxiously..."

"If I were to encounter such a situation, what would I want? Why would I have to dig a hole for myself to jump into and live a miserable life when I have a good life?"

"This..." Zhuang Qingsui's eyes suddenly widened.

She really didn't think so far ahead or so thoroughly.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

What her sister said made sense. If one arranges marriage in haste, one might just jump into any fire pit.

She just wanted to find a helper for her sister, but she definitely didn't want to harm her sister because of her own ideas.

"I just wanted to find a helper for my sister..." Zhuang Qingsui explained hurriedly: "I..."

Zhuang Qingsui couldn't say anything more. She just pursed her lips. There was a mist in her eyes, which seemed to be about to condense into water vapor and fall from her eye sockets at any time.

"I know you are thinking about your sister, thinking that she has someone to rely on and help her, but this matter really cannot be rushed, you need to look for it slowly."

Zhuang Qingning pinched Zhuang Qingsui's cheek and said with a smile, "If I find someone I like, I will definitely marry him even if you stop me. You are not allowed to cry when the time comes."

After Zhuang Qingning finished speaking, he made a face, which made Zhuang Qingsui burst out laughing. The regret he had just felt disappeared in an instant.

"If you find someone you like, you need my approval. If I don't think it's a good idea, I won't let you go easily."

Zhuang Qingsui also started to joke and chuckled for a while.

In his heart, he completely gave up the idea of ​​persuading Zhuang Qingning to get married.
