Chapter 134: Not Yet Married
This family, with its old, weak, sick and young members, naturally could not go out and argue with others.
That day, out of nowhere, my mother started talking about how the family had long lacked a man who could support the family. As she talked, the topic turned to Bai Shuo.
Su Shengsheng and Bai Shuo often come into contact due to long-distance business. This day, while taking the opportunity to diagnose the pulse of the elderly and children at home, he briefly discussed cooperation matters with Su Shengsheng.
Who would have thought that my mother would fall in love with the young and promising shopkeeper Bai.
"Mother truly feels that Shopkeeper Bai is a man of outstanding character. He is both open-minded and gentle, and you are very compatible with him." The more Li spoke, the more satisfied she became. "My daughter, you might want to consider it."
While lying on the sickbed, Mrs. Li still took the opportunity of Su Nianwei sending Bai Shuo out to give her daughter a "life lesson".
Even Su Jingshan, whose legs were tied up like dumplings due to injury, praised him repeatedly: "This boy has the elegance of a medicine dealer. He has the courage and decisiveness of a businessman, but also the delicacy and gentleness of a man."
His eyes fell on Su Shengsheng, who was busy putting medicine bottles away. "I think he's no less talented than the Ji family's son. Dad has already made inquiries, and the young master of the Bai family is still unmarried."
"Dad." Su Shengsheng felt helpless. "I only came to my house twice for a consultation. You're so abrupt."
Su Jingshan didn't give up. "Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. This is a matter of course. Besides, doesn't Dad also want someone to help you share some of the burden?"
"You can't just match someone up with someone just because they have good character?" Su Shengsheng was speechless.
She felt that it was so nice to be free and alone, so why did she have to get married and restrict herself?
Su Jingshan and Li had clearly come prepared, and weren't surprised by Su Shengsheng's reaction at all. "Father and Mother saw that the young master was quite interested in you, and he just reassured your mother, telling her not to pay attention to the rumors."
What a rare character this is!
The doctor has a kind heart, good character, and is considerate and thoughtful in his dealings with others.
Most importantly, he deeply understands how difficult it is for his daughter's family to make it in the business world.
"Mom and Dad, according to what you said, if I can get along well with all the shopkeepers in this business world, doesn't that mean we can all get married?" Su Shengsheng fought back with a hammer.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Li and Su Jingshan exclaimed in surprise, "How can a girl be so outspoken?"
What the Su family fears most now is that outsiders would associate their daughter with a man in the business world. How could they allow her to say such nonsense?
"That's right!" Su Shengsheng dropped the topic with satisfaction. "Mom and Dad, please don't bring up this again in the future, or it will cause misunderstandings."
As the three of them were talking, Li saw Su Nianwei bringing Bai Shuo back, so she could only sigh helplessly and drop the subject.
Isn’t it because their daughter’s business is so big that it arouses jealousy, so they want to find someone to share the burden with her?
When Su Shengsheng saw her seventh sister coming back, she handed her the medicine box with precautions on it. "I'm going to go see Brother Heng. His injuries have healed, but he still refuses to go to school."
Li was anxious when she heard this: "Are you planning to go back to the mountain again?"
Su Shengsheng didn't wait for her mother to continue and said with a smile, "I'll be back in the evening."
Now, if there is any sign of trouble, her family members will be nervous. How dare she spread wings and fly away?
After saying that, she turned and went to the study.
When Brother Heng saw her, he twisted his little body and said, "Brother Heng is still a little uncomfortable, so I won't go to school today."
Su Shengsheng wasn't buying it. "Doctor Bai just said that your injury is not a big deal and won't affect your lectures."
Seeing this, Brother Heng pretended to groan and said, "Brother Heng has a headache. Sister will teach Brother Heng at home."
Su Shengsheng softened her tone, "Brother Heng isn't worried about the kids laughing at you, he's worried about me getting bullied outside, right?"
Brother Heng's mouth pursed, tears welling up in his eyes again: "Brother Heng doesn't want them to hurt my sister."
Su Shengsheng sighed, squatted down, and hugged Brother Heng's small body, which was only four years old.
"People often only want to believe what they see with their own eyes and hear with their own ears, and regard it as the only truth." She stroked Heng's soft hair and said earnestly, "Because of this, misunderstandings and conflicts are inevitable."
Having said that, she lowered her head and looked gently into Brother Heng's red eyes. "No one is a saint, so who can win everyone's heart? Those who truly trust you don't need you to explain too much. Brother Heng, do you understand this truth?"
Although Brother Heng was young, he seemed to feel the deep meaning of his sister's words and nodded his little head slightly.
However, the confusion on his face had not completely dissipated. "But, how can Brother Heng resist beating them?"
Su Shengsheng smiled when she heard this. "You go to school to learn, not to have fun. The principles in the books will guide you and help you block out the distractions of the outside world."
Brother Heng nodded as if he understood. Although he didn't fully understand what his sister said, he knew that his sister wanted him to concentrate on his studies.
So he immediately picked up his schoolbag and prepared to go to school.
"Sister, Brother Heng has gone to school." His childish voice was full of determination.
Su Shengsheng smiled and nodded, but still reminded him with concern, "If you really want to fight, you must first consider your own strength."
She admitted that she was a protective sister.
"I understand, sister." Brother Heng picked up his schoolbag and ran away like a gust of wind.
At this time, Ning Yu walked in, holding a piece of floating brocade as beautiful as the rippling water. "Miss, the Ningguo Mansion has sent many valuable items again, including this floating brocade, which is worth a fortune! After this winter, it will be out of season."
Su Shengsheng was only concerned with expanding the territory, and left the matter of defending the city to her and Qing Ning.
Zai Qing was not at home, and the house was full of people lying around. Miss Seven said she didn't know how to deal with it herself, so she had to ask the young lady for her opinion.
Su Shengsheng took a look at the shimmering brocade: If it were in the previous life, only models walking on the catwalk or celebrities walking on the red carpet would dare to wear it, right?
I don’t know why the Crown Prince’s wife gave them so many things that were not suitable for their current status, and she gave them every day.
She is the center of attention now, so how dare she get close to him?
"Put it away for now." Others can't wear it either, it's too eye-catching.
If you wear this out, you'll definitely get people turning their heads to look at you.
Ning Yu had heard her say this several times. The hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and deer antlers were fine, but it was a pity to leave this thing alone.
She fondled the piece of shimmering brocade, her eyes lighting up. "How about making an embroidered handkerchief for each of you ladies?"
Su Shengsheng heard this and nodded without hesitation, "From now on, you and Qingning can handle these things."
She was writing a letter.
Cui Chong finally couldn't save face, so he asked his family to send a message back, asking the Su family to buy a furnace that could refine copper ore.
Although it was the government that paid the money, she didn't want to exploit them too much and planned to settle the account and be done with it.
Just after I finished writing the letter and sent it to Cui Chong, I saw my fourth sister Su Yuanling walking into the study with a slightly pale face.
When Su Shengsheng saw this, he immediately put down the stun gun he had just assembled.
She felt a little uneasy after Tuoba Ye disappeared without a trace.
Compared to the minor scandal created by Fan Wenchang, she was more worried that this man had many burrows and would suddenly appear from somewhere else, or use his family to threaten her.
Fortunately, martial law is in effect everywhere now, so even if he doesn't die, he has to hide first.
Seeing Su Yuanling coming in in a trance, as if she was about to say something but hesitated, Su Shengsheng asked her, "Fourth sister, what's wrong with you?"
Su Yuanling glanced at her, then quickly lowered her head, her voice as thin as a mosquito, "I... I..."
Seeing her hesitant and unable to speak, Su Shengsheng became even more worried, "Did the female students give you a hard time?"
She knew that rumors were spreading in the school because of Fan Wenchang's incident.
Even Brother Heng was affected, let alone these female students who are deeply bound by the concepts of the Three Obediences and Four Virtues?
However, Su Yuanling slowly shook her head.
Seeing this, Su Shengsheng became even more confused.
She had never seen her fourth sister so humble before. She put down everything she was doing and asked, "Who made things difficult for you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, tears welled up in Su Yuanling's eyes.
