Chapter 1419: Family Thoughts
Their son was naturally a good person, but the two of them knew it tacitly and neither dared to say that their son would definitely pass the imperial examination next year.
What if?
If it doesn't work, I have to wait another three years. Xiaozhi can't wait.
Moreover, this Young Master Zhao is so rich, and he has no parents, elders, or brothers or sisters at home - oh, if my daughter marries him, she will be the mistress of the house!
The two of us would become Mr. Zhao’s only elders, and we would have more money than we can spend!
It’s so beautiful just thinking about it!
Ma even felt sorry for Zhao Shu's money: "This Mr. Zhao is good in every way, but he is too kind and too generous. How can he spend money like this? He always treats those irrelevant people to food and drinks. If he becomes our son-in-law, I will have to talk to him! This won't work, it will give those people a free ride!"
Uncle Shao agreed: "Of course not! That's what I said too! After all, he is young and doesn't understand the ways of the world. As elders, we have to take care of him. I will just take care of the household for him in the future!"
"And I can take care of it, too." Ma refused to be outdone and sneered, "The most despicable ones are my elder brother and his wife. Young Master Zhao has taken advantage of them while living in their house. I'll definitely find a way to make them cough up everything later."
"That's exactly right!"
“.…..”
The couple were discussing things lively.
As luck would have it, Shao Xiaozhi shyly confessed her true feelings to Ma, saying that she, she liked Mr. Zhao...
Ma was so happy when she heard that!
"Oh my!" He clapped his hands and said with a smile, "This is what we call a perfect match made in heaven! This is what it means, destined to meet each other even though they are thousands of miles apart, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence? It just so happened that just when you were about to propose marriage, Young Master Zhao showed up!"
After hearing this, Shao Xiaozhi's cheeks flushed and she turned away shyly: "Mother..."
Ma laughed heartily and said happily, "Silly girl, this is a good thing, why are you ashamed? Mother will tell you tomorrow - no, today!"
Shao Xiaozhi felt even more embarrassed.
Then she couldn't help but feel a little worried: "But, will my aunt agree? Will she make trouble?..."
Ma sneered: "She dares! Oh, with her evil heart, she might really dare. I won't tell her first, tell your uncle. Prepare a table of wine and food at home, and ask your uncle to bring Mr. Zhao over..."
Let's talk about this while we're having a good time eating and drinking, and it will surely work.
"When the time comes, you should dress up nicely, wear new clothes, and put on those silk flowers and silver hairpins. Don't you have makeup? Put on those, too."
The family's situation is much better now, and Shao Xiaozhi also has some new clothes and some silver jewelry.
Shao Xiaozhi shyly agreed, and then said: "Mother, do you think that my aunt will also like Mr. Zhao? After all, isn't Taotao also looking for a marriage? What if——"
"No," Ma's face suddenly darkened, and she snorted, "Don't let her wish for anything good! Taotao? Doesn't Taotao have your fifth cousin? Your fifth cousin will naturally find one for her. Don't let her try to snatch Master Zhao from you, or I'll fight with their family!"
Shao Xiaozhi immediately felt relieved and her heart was filled with joy.
Ma was extremely anxious and wished her daughter would marry Zhao Shu immediately, so she asked Uncle Shao to invite Uncle Shao to come home that very day.
They have learned their lesson now. The abominable Fang has Shao Yunduan's support, and she always uses Shao Yunduan to bully others, which makes her very angry. She will not tell Fang anything easily anymore.
