By the time Su's mother and the others found out, the house was almost completely cleaned up. Su Lin had even bought some nearly new furniture and arranged it very nicely, clearly intending to use it as their wedding room.

This unilateral decision infuriated Su's mother. She made a scene several times, but to no avail, and in the end, she became completely dejected.

Seeing this, Su He knew that she had pretty much given in.

When Grandma Su found out, she sighed, knowing that the matter could not be delayed any longer. So she talked to Su Lin about proposing marriage. Since he had made up his mind, they should not delay any longer and should get married as soon as possible.

Su Lin was overjoyed to finally get Grandma Su's approval. He thanked her profusely and assured them that he would live a good life and that he would not let his wife's family's affairs affect them.

Su He and the others didn't say whether they believed him or not, they just told him not to overthink it and to just focus on his own life.

Su Lin was very touched after hearing this, and later took some time to bring her partner to the courtyard to show them around.

Su Lin's girlfriend is named Feng Xiuxiu. Although she is the same age as Su He, Su He's birthday is older, so she is actually older. Therefore, she didn't feel awkward when Su Lin called her "big sister".

Feng Xiuxiu, just like her name suggests, has a delicate appearance and fair skin. She looks gentle and fragile, but she is not the kind of innocent girl. You can tell from her eyes that she is very strong.

I don't know why she agreed to her parents' decision before. Was it because she compromised for her family?

Regardless, although I was a little nervous at our first meeting, I could tell she was a nice person and not scheming. If she were an ordinary person, even without a job, everyone would think it was a good match.

But when they thought about her family situation, everyone sighed, though no one showed it on their faces.

After spending time with her, Grandma Su's previous dissatisfaction lessened, and even Lin's mother, who had met many people, thought she was a good person.

Seeing this, Su He breathed a sigh of relief for her younger brother.

However, besides seeing her in person, the main purpose of this visit was to discuss the marriage proposal. Grandma Su asked about their family's requirements. Since the two were in a free-love relationship and there was no matchmaker, she directly asked Feng Xiuxiu.

After listening, Feng Xiuxiu remained silent for a moment, then agreed to a dowry that was less than what was expected for weddings in the city.

Grandma Su was very satisfied with what she heard. She invited them to stay for a meal and arranged a time for the marriage proposal before they left.

However, Su Lin later told her that the Feng family knew she wanted a lot of money as a bride price when she remarried, but Feng Xiuxiu didn't want to give it. She was disappointed in her parents after the divorce and didn't want to be bound by their family ties again. She didn't know how she got hold of her family's secrets, but in the end, the Feng family reluctantly agreed.

Su He didn't attend the subsequent marriage proposal. Instead, Old Madam Su went home with her mother and the others. However, after returning home, she sat there sighing and rubbing her head.

When Su He got off work and saw this, she asked, "What's wrong, Grandma? Is the Feng family dissatisfied with the bride price, or are they difficult to get along with?"

Grandma Su shook her head. "They're not hard to get along with, and they don't have any other requirements. It's just that the Feng couple seem to have very soft personalities, but they're also a bit stubborn. No wonder they were able to use their daughter to pay off debts. It's too tiring to get along with them."

I overheard them telling their daughter during dinner today not to forget the life she owed them.

Seriously, this is trying to force the child to pay off debts for a lifetime.

With parents like that, Xiuxiu is truly pitiful.
