Chapter 53: Propose
Su Chunlin nodded quickly and agreed.
The two brothers talked in the kitchen for a quarter of an hour and then Su Chunsen left, without disturbing anyone else.
The next morning, Su Chunlin went to find Su Changxi and bought a piece of wasteland not far from his home, about eight acres.
Su Changxi was envious and couldn't help but remind him: "The more land, the better, but there are only two men in your family, you and Su Zhan, can you handle it?"
Su Chunlin chuckled, "Anyway, we bought wasteland. If we are busy, we can reclaim it. If we are not busy, we can just leave it alone. There is no rush. I just want to build a yard slowly. In the future, when my eldest brother and his family return to the village, they can have a separate yard to live in and feel more comfortable."
"What's going on? Chunsen's family is going back to the village?" Su Changxi widened his eyes in shock.
Su Chunlin shook his head quickly, "No, it's not like that. My niece is in the village. They will definitely come back often in the future. Besides, Xiaoyu is also at the age of getting married, so they have to come back often!"
Su Sheng, who had just entered the room, paused when he heard this and did not continue walking into the house.
Su Chunlin didn't care and said, "It's just right that the busy farming season is over. Let the child's mother help find out if there is a suitable family in the nearby village. Let's arrange Xiaoyu's marriage first. When the yard is ready and my eldest brother's family returns, Xiaoyu can also marry from there to avoid conflicts."
The custom in the village is that a family cannot marry off two daughters in the same year. The wedding date of Su Tai and Shen Yi was agreed upon last year and it cannot be postponed any further.
Su Yu is older than Su Tai, and it didn't matter if they were not together before, but now that they are together it would be inconvenient for her to marry after Su Tai, so as to avoid gossip from the villagers.
It was quite stressful for Su Chunlin to arrange Su Yu's marriage in such a short time.
Su Changxi expressed his understanding, "Okay, I'll help you find out later. My eldest brother is the village chief and knows the details of each family. This time, I must find a reliable person for Su Yu."
After being bullied by the Sang family, Su Changxi paid special attention to the marriages of the younger generation in the village, for fear of causing any more trouble that would affect the marriages of all the girls and boys in the village.
After Su Chunlin left, Su Changxi turned around and was blocked by Su Sheng.
"What are you doing?"
"Dad, I want to... I want to marry Su Yu!" Su Sheng summoned up the courage and said loudly.
Su Changxi was stunned for a moment. For the first time, he looked at his son so seriously. "Come on! Come inside and talk with me."
Huang was still unaware of the situation when she was called back. When she learned that her son wanted to marry Amelia Su, she was shocked, "That boy is really bold!"
Su Changxi raised his eyebrows, "What? You don't object?"
Huang grinned and sat down. "You saw it too. Su Yu's appearance and behavior are so unique. You can't find another one like her anywhere in the area. And I think the wound on her face has almost healed and is not obvious.
Although Su Chunsen's family were all slaves, they worked for a wealthy family after all. They had more connections than us and lived a better life than us.
Plus, Su Chunlin's family is backing her up, so our son may not be worthy of this condition!"
Su Changxi sighed, "I think so too, and my son knows it himself, but this is the first time he has asked me for his help since he was born. As a father, I have to fight for him no matter what, but I don't know if it will work."
Huang's face also showed a trace of sadness when she heard this. "If my niece from my mother's side hadn't passed away suddenly, maybe we would have had a grandson a long time ago. After all, we are sorry for our son. Even if it's too high to marry, we have to try."
Originally, Su Sheng was engaged to his cousin, but unfortunately there was a severe drought for three years and people from both families died one after another, which delayed the marriage. When it was almost time for the wedding, the girl died of a cold. This incident was a great blow to their family.
For a long time, Huang didn't mention the matter of marrying a daughter-in-law. If Huang didn't mention it, Su Sheng would never bring it up. Unexpectedly, today she would come up with her own idea.
The couple looked at each other.
The next morning, Su Changxi and Huang took Su Sheng and carried a lot of valuable things to Su Chunlin's house.
Su Chunlin was startled by the scene, his eyes full of confusion, "Brother, sister-in-law, what are you doing? Let's talk it over!"
Su Changxi pulled the corner of his mouth, with a hint of flattery on his face, "Then I'll tell you! We want to ask for your niece Su Yu to marry Ah Sheng."
Su Chunlin suddenly realized, looked at Su Sheng who was standing aside so nervous that his eyes were out of focus, and suddenly laughed, motioning for everyone to sit down and talk properly.
"Asheng, your uncle has watched you grow up, what do you think?" Su Chunlin turned the subject to Su Sheng.
Su Sheng's face tensed up, and he subconsciously straightened his back, sat upright and said, "Uncle, I like Miss Su Yu, please help me."
Su Chunlin quickly turned aside and said, "No, no, no, let's talk it over. This is Xiaoyu's lifelong event after all. My elder brother and his wife are still here, so I can't make the decision. The most I can do is say something nice for you."
Su Sheng heaved a long sigh of relief and immediately thanked him, "Uncle, you are really my uncle!"
The family sat in Su Chunlin's house for a long time, left their things and left.
When Han came back and learned about this, she was overjoyed, "Dad, go to the county town and ask my brother and sister-in-law what they think. I'll go talk to Xiaoyu. Don't miss out on such a good marriage."
Su Chunlin frowned and asked, "Do you really think this marriage is good? I think with Xiaoyu's conditions, she can even marry into the village head's family."
Han glanced at him and said, "Xiaoyu is a good candidate, but there is no suitable candidate in our village head's family. Do you dare to marry Xiaoyu to other villages? Just look at the Sang family in Fufeng Village. If they are also like that, it will be difficult for us to support Xiaoyu in the future. It is better to marry someone who knows her background well. With the relationship between our two families and the character of Brother Changxi and his wife, can they treat Xiaoyu badly?"
"Of course not!" Su Chunlin said without thinking. After a moment, he made up his mind, "Okay! Go talk to Xiaoyu. If she agrees, I will go to the county town to find my brother."
After getting the promise, Han didn't want to delay at all, and immediately ran to the backyard to have a long talk with Su Yu.
The two talked for a long time, and when Han came out, there was a smile on her face.
The next day, before dawn, Su Chunlin drove a ox cart to the county town.
It’s still the same tall gate, the same back door, and the same gatekeeper.
Awang led Su Chunlin to the side room, and soon Su Chunsen and his family of three arrived.
Wan was most excited to see Su Chunlin, and the first thing she asked about was Su Yu's situation.
Su Chunlin could understand, so he told her about Su Yu in detail, "Xiao Yu is living well in the village, and her scar has faded a lot and is not very noticeable."
As he spoke, he glanced at Su Chunsen obscurely and continued, "I thought that Xiaoyu was in the village, and you would have to go back to see her often in the future, so I simply bought another piece of wasteland and built a yard. It will be more comfortable for you to live in when you come back in the future, and it will also be more convenient for Xiaoyu to get married."
"Xiaoyu is getting married?" Wan's pupils shrank and she became nervous. "Uncle, are you saying that Xiaoyu has found a good family?"
