Chapter 546: Finally Sold One
After dinner, the moon was at its zenith.
The dark blue sky is dotted with stars, and insects are chirping loudly in all directions.
There are five or six geckos on the wall of the Su family's courtyard near the pharmacy.
"Sister, did you hear what they said? Will mother-in-law agree or not? I'm so anxious!" Bing'er put her ear against the wall, wishing she could go through it.
Tian Bao looked serious and pretended to pat his ears. "Strange, I can't hear clearly. My ears are not working."
Everyone looked at Bao who was pretending, their expressions were hard to describe.
Is that reasonable of you to say?
We've been together for more than ten or twenty years, who doesn't know that you have a keen ear?
Why are you being naughty?
Xiaomai Sui patted Bing'er's shoulder and flattened her pouty mouth. "Silly girl, why are you so eager to get married? Bing'er, believe me, you don't have to worry about this! Since Brother An has spoken, it will definitely be done! Look behind you. Are Grandpa Su and Grandma Su looking at you as if they are looking at their grandson's wife? Look at Auntie again. She's looking at you as if she is looking at her daughter-in-law! From now on, Su Wu will have to call you sister-in-law! There's no getting away!"
Su Wu came over immediately and said, "From now on, Little Wheat Ear will have to call you sister-in-law—Ah! Why are you stepping on me again?"
Wheat Ear slowly retracted his foot and pushed away the person who was jumping with his feet next to him to avoid being an eyesore.
The light was dim at night. Bing'er turned her head and looked back. The elders were sitting in the yard, chatting and laughing. Their expressions were not very clear, and their eyes were even harder to distinguish.
But Bing'er was still happy. She held her hot little face with her hands, shyly twisting her slender waist. "When I get married to Brother An, my sister and I will be a real family. I won't have to be separated from my sister anymore!"
Tian Bao couldn't help laughing, raised his hand and scratched the tip of her nose, "Yes, we will never be separated again."
Everyone: "..." Bing'er, who do you want to marry?
…
Separated by a wall.
There were two small stools in the yard, and Su An and Madam Lu sat opposite each other.
The moonlight from the sky was pouring down, creating a cool and cool atmosphere in the yard.
"There were so many people at dinner just now that I couldn't ask in detail." Madam Lu suppressed her smile, her face serious and intimidating without anger. "Xiao An, you asked me to marry Bing'er to you. I want to know what you really think."
Su An also said solemnly, "Mammy, I want to marry Bing'er. This is my true intention and my sincerity."
"The Su family has a righteous tradition, and they remember every kindness. I know you will repay a favor, but are you sure you don't want to marry Bing'er just to repay her kindness? Bing'er is a simple girl, and she can't hide her thoughts from those close to her. Did you know she was attracted to you, so you just went along with her wishes?"
"That's not the case." Su An pursed her lips, looked directly at Madam Lu, and said frankly, "Madam, I know what you're worried about. Bing'er was harmed by a villain when she was young, and her character has remained at that time. Even though she has improved over the years, she is still different from ordinary people. But it is precisely because of this that Bing'er is pure and sincere. She may not be as smart and worldly-wise as other girls her age, but she has a pure heart that most people don't have. At first, I did treat her as a younger sister, but as time went by, I was attracted to her little by little. This time, I'm asking for her hand in marriage not out of gratitude, nor out of sympathy. Madam, I like Bing'er. I'm sure of my feelings."
"If that's the case, why didn't you mention it earlier or later, but only brought it up when Bing'er and I were about to leave? Isn't it because you have concerns in your heart? Or maybe you actually feel that Bing'er is not worthy of you."
"I never mentioned it before. It's true that I have some concerns in my heart, but they are different from what Nanny thinks. I am worried about Bing'er's thoughts. I am worried that she can't tell the difference between dependence and love. I am worried that if I mention it, she will marry me ignorantly. In the future, when she matures and finds that her feelings for me are not just about men and women, I am afraid she will regret it." Su An pursed her lips, "But Nanny and Bing'er suddenly said they wanted to leave, and I was still anxious. Even if it's a gamble, I need to express my feelings. It doesn't matter if Bing'er can't tell the difference now, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't like me. As long as there is a chance, I will make her like me, and in the future, she will never regret marrying me."
Madam Lu lowered her eyes and stood up after a moment of silence. "I have heard what you said. Let me think about your matter with Bing'er and then I will give you an answer."
Su An stood up and said, "Okay, I'll wait for Madam's reply."
The old woman smiled and walked out, her silver hair flashing with a cool silver light in the moonlight.
"Mammy."
Just as she was about to step out of the door, she heard the young man's steady voice again from behind her, "Madam, there's something I don't agree with."
"Oh? Which sentence?" Madam Lu stopped and half of her body was covered by the shadow of the door and wall.
Su An said in a deep voice, "Mammy said Bing'er is not worthy of me. I don't agree with this statement. Bing'er is worthy of any man in this world. Those who think she is not worthy, in my opinion, are the ones who are not worthy!"
In the shadows, the old woman was silent for a moment, then she laughed joyfully, "I agree to your request to marry Bing'er."
Su An was stunned, his black eyes suddenly lit up, the light was intimidating.
"Big sister! Why did you agree so quickly? Didn't you say you'd think about it before giving me a reply? No rush, no rush. Just give it a couple of days!" The old man climbed up the wall, revealing his messy hair. He was very dissatisfied. "He's old, but Bing'er is still young!"
The corners of Madam Lu's eyes wrinkled with laughter. "Don't think about it. I thought I was very protective of my grandchildren, but I didn't expect An to be even more protective of them. As a mother-in-law, I can't say a word to my filthy granddaughter. What else is there to consider? It's him."
Priceless treasures are easy to find, but a good person is hard to find.
It was Bing'er's blessing to meet him.
Of course, An Xiaozi has good taste since he likes her daughter Bing'er.
The old man on the wall wanted to say something more to tease people, but was pulled down by the boys and girls below. Not only were his hands and feet tied, but his mouth was also blocked.
Bing'er covered her eyes shyly and twisted her little body even more happily.
The last two sentences that mother-in-law said to Brother An were so loud that she heard them all!
She will soon be a member of the Su family, and this will truly be her home from now on!
When Nanny Lu and Su An came back from next door, the laughter in the yard became even louder.
"After waiting for so many years, our family can finally have a wedding again." Grandma Su sighed, her smile full of satisfaction.
He Daxiang was delighted. "Now that it's settled, what are we waiting for? Let's pick the nearest auspicious day for Xiaoan and Bing'er to get married! Sister-in-law, Xiu'er, let's organize the wedding banquet together!"
"It's not enough to just organize a wedding banquet. We also have to prepare the betrothal gifts. Bing'er's marriage must be dignified. She must have everything that others have. She can't be left wanting!"
Su Da and Su Er leaned against each other, also very satisfied. "After all the hard work, we finally sold one. There are still two left."
Mrs. Huo, standing nearby, also quietly gave her husband a thumbs-up. "His father, you're amazing! You succeed instantly! There are still two of the three Su brothers left to be dealt with. Su Wen is in Changjing, so he's out of reach. I'll leave him alone for now. But Su Wu, you've got to take care of him!"
The palm-leaf fan in Huo Ziheng's hand that he was using for portraiture suddenly stopped waving.
He glanced at Su Wu, who was huddled with the old man in the corner with his sleeves rolled up, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
“…”Tsk.
