Chapter 39: Heart Leaning to Heaven
"Third brother, let's talk about this later." Su Jingheng noticed that the atmosphere at the dinner table was not right, and hurriedly reminded him, "Today is a rare reunion for us, so let's have a peaceful meal."
"Brother, don't worry about it. This matter has been stuck in my heart, and I just want to talk about it." Su Jingrui looked at his father, took a deep breath and said, "I will not marry any other woman except Lin Zhiqiu in my life! Dad, she doesn't want anything but a job! It's true that you feel sorry for your daughter, but you also feel sorry for your son, right?"
"It's not easy for the third son, actually." Wei Guiqin also hurriedly spoke for her son, "He's really moved this time. Zhiqiu is not bad, she's one in a hundred, but she just lacks a job. I discussed this with Yanyan at the beginning, but who knew she would run away in anger. Now the third son's marriage is still pending, what do you think we should do?"
Su Dajiang has been recuperating these days, and she has been refraining from telling him about this, fearing that he would be upset.
But she saw that those who came to the Lin family to propose marriage were almost breaking down the door of the Lin family. Her son was anxious and angry, and she couldn't eat or sleep well.
"Just a job?" Su Dajiang asked.
"Yes." Su Jingrui nodded vigorously, "I just want a job."
Wu Jiaojiao curled her lips and said, "This girl would really like it. This job is much more valuable than the gift. Who in her family would be willing to give her a job casually? If she goes to buy a job, a cheap one would cost at least 700 to 800 yuan. Nowadays, people sell jobs for thousands of yuan!"
"What's your business? Why are you so nosy!" Wei Guiqin glared at her eldest daughter-in-law. "Even if I buy a job, it won't cost you money. Why are you butting in?"
"Mom, what you said is not right! What do you mean by not spending my money? When Su Jingheng married me, he only gave me a hundred yuan as a betrothal gift, right? Now it's the third son's turn to get married, so isn't spending money to buy a job money? I don't care. Anyway, if you spend a lot of money to find a job for the third son's wife, you have to pay me the full amount, otherwise I won't do it!" Wu Jiaojiao said angrily.
"Okay, stop interrupting. Isn't it chaotic enough?" Su Jingheng tugged at her sleeve, signaling her to shut up and not join in the fun at this time.
"Shut up!" Wu Jiaojiao scolded her husband harshly, "You are such a dull guy, don't you see that Mom is so distracted! Even Su Hanyan has learned from her, but you are the only one who is so stupid. You don't even say a word when something happens at home."
"Sister-in-law, you are dissatisfied with me, right?" Su Jingrui could hear that the words were directed at him.
"How dare I target you? I'm just discussing the matter." Wu Jiaojiao said sarcastically.
"Enough! It's endless!" Wei Guiqin had a bad temper. Seeing her children quarreling endlessly over these things, she immediately slammed the table and said, "Do you know what day it is today? Can't you just have a peaceful meal? Why do you have to make such a fuss?"
"It was the third brother who brought it up." Wu Jiaojiao muttered.
"Is it wrong for me to marry a wife?" Su Jingrui said angrily. He stood up, threw his chopsticks on the table and left. "This meal is inedible!"
The atmosphere at the table suddenly became very tense. Su Dajiang's face darkened, his eyes were blazing with fire, and he was showing signs of exploding.
"Come back here." Wei Guiqin saw that the situation was not good, so she quickly stood up and twisted Su Jingrui's ear to pull him back, "Apologize to your father! Now that your father is back, are you still afraid that no one will decide your marriage?"
