Chapter 82 The Su Family's Status
When Shen Yueyao saw this, she put down the things in her hands and asked, "What happened?"
Then he looked at Su Erya and wiped the tears from her eyes. "If you have anything to say, tell Aunt San. Don't cry."
Shen Yueyao felt sorry for Erya.
Erya's parents passed away early, and she was so sensible.
On weekdays, Shen Yueyao can take care of her more.
Even though Shen Yueyao is only a few years older than Erya, Su Erya usually feels a motherly feeling from Shen Yueyao, so she is actually very dependent on Shen Yueyao in her heart.
"Aunt San, it's Sister Daya. Sister Daya doesn't care about the Su family or grandma at all. She wants to marry that man."
"Aunt San, I hope Sister Daya is well, but I think this is wrong. If people knew what Sister Daya did, they would look down on her."
Su Erya was also concerned about her sister Daya, but was blamed and criticized by Su Daya.
Shen Yueyao pulled Su Erya into the house and poured her some water.
The water at home is mixed with spiritual spring water, which can help you calm your mind after drinking it.
After drinking a few sips of hot water, Su Erya slowly calmed down.
She said, "Third Aunt, although Madam Zhu brought people to propose marriage, she kept saying that Big Sister had hooked up with Young Master Lin. She looked down on our Su family and was rude to Grandma..."
"Grandma endured it for Sister Daya. Madam Zhu didn't even sit down. She seemed to dislike the uncleanness of our tables and chairs. I wipe them twice every day..."
"There was still water, but I didn't drink a single sip. I gave her one or two taels of silver as an engagement gift, and told her to have Dayajie taken to Nanlin Village in a sedan chair in a few days."
Nanzhu Village is Nanlin Village under Nanliu Town.
It is far away from Beiliu Town, and Nanlin Village is far away from Liuhe Village.
Even if you take a bullock cart, it will take more than half a day to get there.
Not to mention that their family didn't even have an ox cart.
Shen Yueyao listened and understood the whole story.
But none of them knew when Su Daya got together with Lin Tingshu from Nanlin Village.
It seems that someone saw Lin Tingshu carrying Su Daya to the clinic. In ancient times, people attached great importance to a woman's reputation.
Su Daya had no choice but to marry Lin Tingshu.
If it were someone else, they might not agree to marry Su Daya. The key point is that Lin Tingshu is a scholar and still has to take exams. If the news gets out to the north and it damages the woman's reputation and makes her irresponsible, Lin Tingshu will have no chance of taking the exam, let alone becoming an official.
So even if Mrs. Zhu hated Su Daya in her heart, she had no choice but to let Lin Tingshu marry Su Daya.
Shen Yueyao asked, "What did Lin Tingshu say?"
"From what Madam Zhu said, he listens to her very much. Madam Zhu said that it was because of her nod that her son married Dayajie, and she meant that we should be grateful to her."
Shen Yueyao felt something was wrong when she heard these words.
"Since the marriage proposal was made, why didn't Lin Tingshu come?"
"Mrs. Zhu said he wants to study, so the elders can come."
"What about Lin Tingshu's father?"
Su Erya said, "It seems that Master Lin's father died when he was very young."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yueyao's expression turned cold, "He always listens to his mother and has no opinions of his own. Don't be a mama's boy."
Su Erya didn't quite understand and asked, "Aunt San, what is a mama's boy?"
Shen Yueyao knew that this was a term used in the technological age, and people in ancient times might not understand it.
"It's just that Lin Tingshu doesn't have much of his own opinion and listens to his mother in everything. Moreover, he lost his father when he was young and has been dependent on his mother for everything. After Daya comes into the family, he will probably also listen to Madam Zhu."
"If Madam Zhu is a good person, I'd say it, but I'm afraid she'll be jealous of Su Daya and treat her badly."
There are some things that Shen Yueyao cannot explain in a few words.
But she thinks it is inappropriate if the boy is a mama's boy.
And this era is different from the technological era.
In this era, filial piety is emphasized, and both sons and daughters-in-law must listen to their mother-in-law.
Parents can use filial piety to suppress their younger generations.
Moreover, when faced with the pressure of being unfilial, Su Daya didn't know what to do.
And judging from Su Daya's personality, she is not someone who can tolerate others.
At home, the Su family can tolerate and indulge her.
But Mrs. Zhu is not her mother. How could she tolerate her with the way she is?
If Su Daya was an obedient person, she would say a few words.
The key point is that Su Daya is not an obedient person at all.
And she is still a third aunt, so there are some things that cannot be said.
Shen Yueyao looked at Su Xueyi and asked, "What do you think?"
Su Erya said, "Sister Daya didn't listen to Uncle San at all, and she even said..."
Su Erya couldn't say the following words.
Shen Yueyao probably understood.
She slapped her forehead with a headache.
Su Daya learned the method used by her predecessor and thought that this way she could achieve her goal, but it was not that easy.
She didn't want to think that Madam Zhu and her son Lin Tingshu were in a different situation from the Su family.
Moreover, Madam Meng is a good person. She was the legitimate daughter of a wealthy family and was well-educated. She is not comparable to Madam Zhu.
"Since you won't listen, there's no point in saying anything."
Su Xueyi said, "I'll write a letter and tell Big Brother about it."
Su Xueyi naturally meant to let Su Daya's father take care of this matter.
"Indeed, even if Su Daya wants to get married, all aspects must be done according to the rules, and she must be given respect. What's the point of carrying her to her house in a sedan chair? This shows that Daya is not respected at all, and they are worried that Daya will lose her status."
Shen Yueyao is not meddling in other people's affairs out of kindness.
But in this era, the women of a family represent the face of the family.
The Su family will return to the capital in the future, and Su Erya is also a daughter of the Su family.
How will you view Su Erya if you view Su Daya like that?
Su Erya would also be looked down upon for no reason.
"Er Ya, don't overthink it. Wait until your Third Uncle passes the exam to become a scholar, and then a juren, and so on. Once our family has gained status, no one will dare to bully your eldest sister."
In this era, the status of most women in their husband's family still depends on the status of their parents' family.
After hearing these words, Su Xueyi's expression eased a little.
Yes, he wants to prop up the entire Su family.
Because of his poor legs before, he was unable to do many things.
But when he checked his mother's eyes in the afternoon and confirmed that her eyes were healed, he still couldn't believe it.
But after seeing it, he began to believe in Yao Niang's medical skills and believed that his leg could be healed, so that he could continue to take the imperial examination.
"Is your grandma okay?"
Su Erya sobbed and said, "Grandma is very angry. I saw that she was very upset and wanted to stay at home with her, but she asked me to come over and work with Third Aunt."
It was a very happy thing that grandma's eyesight was healed.
But who would have thought that Mrs. Zhu would ruin everything in the afternoon.
Shen Yueyao was a little worried about Madam Meng.
"I can't take care of anything right now. I'm going to go see your grandma."
Shen Yueyao was worried about Madam Meng's health.
Don't get angry, old man.
Shen Yueyao said, and went towards the old house.
Su Erya saw this and hurried to follow.
When Shen Yueyao passed by the entrance of the street alley, many people in the village gathered together to discuss this matter.
"I didn't expect Su Daya to be so capable. She hooked up with a scholar. I heard that Mr. Lin is very good at studying and will have no problem passing the exam for a scholar."
"This is called having a broad vision. If Mr. Lin passes the exam and becomes an official, she will be his wife."
"That being said, it seems that the Lin family doesn't value Su Daya very much."
"You said, if Mr. Su's leg had not been injured, he would have passed the imperial examination and become a scholar. Maybe he would have become a juren by now. In that case, the status of the Su family would be different, and Madam Zhu would have to curry favor with the Su family."
