"Old Party Secretary, you may not know that Su Yu now has a job in the city, not only as a projectionist, but also as a doctor in the factory..."
Gu Feiyue recounted what had happened recently. The more they listened, the more exaggerated the old branch secretary and Uncle Niu felt, and the expressions on their faces gradually became more interesting.
At the Su family, when Su's father and mother, Old Man Su, and Old Lady Wang learned that Su Darong and her boyfriend Ye Xiangyang were robbed while going to the countryside, Su's mother almost fainted from fright.
Old Lady Wang was extremely anxious. She grabbed Su Darong's arm and said urgently, "Darong, it doesn't matter what was stolen. What happened to the betrothal money? It wasn't stolen, was it?"
Su Darong said aggrievedly: "Grandma, I, I didn't care about the betrothal gift at all. I was just thinking about running away."
At this time, Su Dayong and his wife hurried out of the house.
When Su Dayong heard that the betrothal gift was gone, his face suddenly darkened. "Darong, if the betrothal gift is gone, what's the point of dating? I don't agree with this marriage."
His wife also spoke at this time, "That's right, our family has worked hard to raise Darong, she can't marry someone else for free, right?" When Su Darong heard that her family opposed her marrying Ye Xiangyang, she immediately became anxious: "You all said that I should marry in the city. Now I can marry in the city. Before I was robbed, the betrothal gifts that Xiangyang and I brought were not low, one hundred yuan and some bills and so on. I didn't expect to be robbed. Can I blame Xiangyang for this?" "Anyway, I don't care. I have slept with Xiangyang. If you don't let me marry him, then I can only be beaten to death." These days, people pay more attention to reputation. When the old man Su and Su's father and mother heard that Su Darong and Ye Xiangyang had actually had a relationship, their faces changed drastically.
Old Man Su's face suddenly changed, and the pipe in his hand fell to the ground with a "clack". He stretched out his hand tremblingly, as if trying to grasp something, but it fell down weakly. "This, this is disgraceful!" His voice was hoarse, filled with anger and heartache that was hard to conceal.
If this matter were to get out, Old Man Su would probably never be able to hold his head up in the village again. For someone like him who values face very much, this would definitely be a huge blow.
Father Su's originally flushed face turned pale in an instant, his lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't speak for a long time.
Mother Su burst into tears and collapsed on the ground, slapping her hands and saying, "What's going on? Our family's reputation is ruined!"
Old Lady Wang seemed to have lost her spine. She sat down on the chair with a hollow look in her eyes, muttering to herself, "What a sin, what a sin..."
Su Dayong's face was filled with rage. He took a step forward and pointed his finger at Su Darong, shaking with anger. "Darong, you did such a thing! How can our Su family hold our heads high in the village from now on?"
His wife also echoed, with her hands on her hips, and shouted in a shrill voice: "That's right, Darong, you are too ignorant. This is really embarrassing. You are so unreasonable!"
The betrothal gift was snatched away. The worst that could happen was that they would not agree to the marriage, and then the Ye Xiangyang family would be the one to suffer. They could then marry Su Darong to someone else in the city, and there would be no loss. But now, they were dumbfounded.
Su Darong burst into tears and knelt on the ground with a plop. "Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Grandma, I know I was wrong, but I really like Xiangyang and he treats me very well. We just wanted to live a good life, but who knew we would be robbed..."
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the door. It turned out that Ye Xiangyang heard that the Su family was in a mess because of this matter, and rushed over anxiously.
He walked into the house and saw the chaotic scene inside, and immediately understood something.
Ye Xiangyang walked over to Su Darong, helped her up, then bowed deeply to everyone in the Su family and said sincerely, "Uncle, aunt, grandpa, grandma, it's all my fault for not protecting Darong.
Don't worry about the betrothal gift. I will find a way to raise another one as soon as possible. I really want to marry Darong and I will treat her well for the rest of my life. Please believe me."
Father Su snorted coldly and turned his head away. "What's the point of saying this now? Where can we put our faces?"
Mother Su cried out, "No, this marriage cannot be concluded so easily. You must give us a satisfactory explanation, otherwise we will not be at ease if Darong marries him."
Ye Xiangyang nodded quickly. "I understand. I will discuss this with my family as soon as possible and give everyone a satisfactory answer. I just hope you can give us a chance. Darong and I are truly in love."
Old Man Su looked at Ye Xiangyang and said in a deep voice, "Since you said so, I also want to see your attitude. Anyway, I have nothing to do these days. I will go back to the city with you and discuss the betrothal gift with your parents. If it is suitable, my granddaughter Darong will marry into your family."
Hearing what Old Man Su said, Old Lady Wang's eyes lit up immediately, "Old man is right, I agree with this."
Ye Xiangyang felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. Old Man Su threatened, "This is a special period. If your clothing store finds out that you have had this kind of relationship with my granddaughter Darong, not only will you lose your job, but you are also a hooligan. I'm afraid you will have to eat peanuts."
Ye Xiangyang's calves trembled. He originally wanted to listen to his mother, Aunt Ye, and come to the countryside to pretend to be poor, but he didn't expect that the people in the Su family were more cunning than each other. This time, he really suffered a loss.
...
Steel plant family compound.
Su Yu and his cousin Guo Xiaoyi rode their bicycles back to the family compound.
When I arrived at the door of the house, as soon as I entered, I saw Guo Guotao and Li Hongmei talking in the living room.
When Guo Guotao saw Su Yu, a strange light flashed in his eyes. He smiled and greeted, "Su Yu, you're back. Are you busy at the factory today?"
