Chapter 54 The Attitude of the Su Family’s First Wife
Su Chunlin shook his head quickly, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. Xiaoyu is your daughter, and you have to make the decision on her marriage. But someone wants to marry Xiaoyu, and Xiaoyu is willing. I just came to ask your opinion!"
Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down and immediately asked, "Which family is it? What's their family background? What's their personality like? Can they be trusted? Are their parents kind? Will they mistreat their daughter-in-law?"
Wan's barrage of words didn't give Su Chunlin any chance to interrupt.
Su Chunsen hurriedly stopped him, "Listen to what Chunlin has to say first."
Su Chunlin smiled awkwardly and said slowly, "The other party is the eldest son of our village chief Su Changxi, named Su Sheng. Big 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 and is very good at dealing with people. Apart from anything else, based on the relationship between our two families, they will definitely treat Xiaoyu well.
Let’s talk about Su Sheng. He is two years older than Xiaoyu. He was originally engaged to his cousin, but because of the three-year drought, the elders of both families died one after another, so they never got married. When the drought was finally over, the girl was killed by a cold.
After that, Su Sheng never arranged marriage again. But don't worry, it's not because he is obsessed with his cousin, but because the previous marriage was decided by his mother. After all, she was her niece and a daughter-in-law who had not yet married into the family. His mother felt sad to hear that there was no hope for her, so she didn't rush to arrange a marriage for her son.
This time it was Su Sheng himself who fell in love with our Xiaoyu. He took the initiative to propose to Brother Changxi and his wife. So, the whole family came to my house eagerly to propose marriage. I discussed it with the child's mother and felt that this marriage was a good one.
Firstly, they are from the same village, so we can take care of them. Secondly, Brother Changxi is the village chief after all, and Brother Changfu is the township chief. They have a good relationship with the town officials. His family is one of the best families in our village. Thirdly, Su Sheng has grown up under our care. He has good character and will take over the position of village chief in the future. If Xiaoyu marries him, her life will definitely be good in the future."
Su Chunlin's mouth was dry after talking for a while, so he took a sip of water to slow down his pace and continued, "Brother, sister-in-law, this is the situation. You guys can discuss it and come to the inn tomorrow morning to give me a definite answer."
Wan thanked him repeatedly, and together with Su Chunsen, she personally escorted Su Chunlin out the back door.
The family of three returned to the house where they lived.
Wan immediately looked at Su Chunsen and asked, "Father, do you think this marriage is appropriate?"
The village chief is indeed from a very good family in the village, but Wan has been in a wealthy family for a long time and doesn't really think it's that good.
Su Chunsen knew what Wan was thinking after just one listen, and laughed, "If Xiaoyu is not allowed to marry Su Sheng, what kind of family do you think she can marry into?"
Wan said as if it was a matter of course. "It would be best if I had a house and a shop in the town, so I don't have to rely on God for food, and I can get a stable income regardless of drought or flood. I also have sensible parents-in-law and a responsible husband. This is not a high request!"
Su Chuan at the side could not 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, and my younger sister is the only one who has left the family. My younger uncle's family is just villagers in the village. If you really find a family like that for Xiaoyu, you have to make sure that she will not be bullied by her husband's family, otherwise who can support her?"
Su Chunsen couldn't help nodding, "Achuan is right, and Xiaoyu has a wound on her face. Even if she is good in every way, people know the reason for her injury, and she will inevitably be disliked and slandered by those with ulterior motives.
If she marries into Su Changxi's family, we won't have to worry about these problems. Besides, Su Sheng himself likes Xiaoyu and won't mind the scar on her face. It's really a good destination for her."
Wan was in a dilemma. In the end, her daughter's lifelong happiness was more important. She finally agreed to the marriage and took out half of her fortune that she had saved over the years. She asked Su Chunsen to take it to the inn after daybreak.
Seeing that his parents had given him such a generous dowry, Su Chuan was not to be outdone. He rummaged through the boxes and drawers and took out all the good things he had saved up. He was just in time to be seen by Young Master Bai.
"what you do?"
Su Chuan hurriedly bowed respectfully and said, "Master, I have just packed some things and asked my uncle to take them back to my sister to buy makeup."
"Add makeup?" Young Master Bai raised his eyebrows, thinking of Su Yu's disfigured face, and felt inexplicably unhappy.
Su Chuan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, my uncle arranged a marriage for my sister in the countryside, and my parents agreed."
Young Master Bai sneered, his expression arrogant, "You are still wanted even though you are disfigured. You are really a country bumpkin who has never seen the world! Go and come back quickly. I have to go out to meet a guest in a quarter of an hour."
Su Chuan's face froze. A quarter of an hour was not enough for him to leave the house. It was obvious that Young Master Bai was making things difficult for him.
But he still had to nod and agree, then leave quickly.
Time was running out, so he could only hand the things over to Mrs. Wan and ask for her help.
This happened to be seen by the maids in Mrs. Bai's yard, so Wan had to go and report to Mrs. Bai in person.
When Mrs. Bai heard that Su Yu was going to get married, her reaction was similar to that of Young Master Bai, but she was better at concealing it and did not show any emotion at all. She only asked calmly, "What kind of family is it?"
Wan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Madam, he is a man from this village, two years older than Xiaoyu. They were engaged, but his fiancée died of illness before they got married, which is why it took so long."
When Mrs. Bai heard this, her complexion improved a little, and she even gave Wan a pair of silver bracelets inlaid with jade as a reward.
Wan took the things and left with many thanks.
Turning back, he muttered to Su Chunsen, "I see that Madam is unhappy because Xiaoyu is getting married! If I hadn't had the idea to only say the bad things, I'm afraid Madam would be even more unhappy."
Su Chunsen took a look at the bracelets and said thoughtfully, "No matter what, Madam has done her best to save face. This pair of bracelets is estimated to be worth two taels of silver. There are gems on them, so they can be worth five taels of silver. Give them all to Xiaoyu."
Wan paused, then suddenly widened her eyes in shock, "Boss, I just realized why you keep sending your belongings to Dongmen Village?"
She hadn't realized this before, and only reacted now.
Su Chunsen covered Wan's mouth and shook his head seriously, "Don't talk nonsense, I just feel sorry for Xiaoyu. How can she get married without some money? We don't have to worry about food and drink in the mansion, and there are not many things that need to be taken care of. Who should we give this money to if not the child?"
Wan finally realized that she had said the wrong thing and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes!"
The next morning, Su Chunsen brought a bunch of things to see Su Chunlin and entrusted Su Yu's marriage to him.
Su Chunlin agreed to all of them, and whispered in Su Chunsen's ear: "Brother, the foundation of the house has been laid, and it is getting better every day. There are many people from the village working there, and it is estimated that the beams will be put up in a month, and it will be completed in less than two months. Xiaotai's wedding date is set after the autumn harvest, and my idea is to set Xiaoyu's wedding date in June. What do you think?"
