Chapter 56 The Zhao Family Comes to Propose Marriage
Zhang Juexia was very pleased to see that Ye Beixiu was on the same page with her, but she didn't show it on her face. She still murmured worriedly, "I really don't want others to interfere with our lives."
"We're on the same page. I have plenty of ways to help my mother, so don't worry."
"But she is your mother!"
"Then you are still my wife."
Ye Beixiu looked at Zhang Juexia seriously with his deep eyes, "I married you home because I wanted you to live a good life. You've had a hard time these days.
When my leg is healed, I will let you enjoy a good life. Don’t worry about the family matters, I will take care of everything.”
"I'm not really worried, I just wanted to ask."
"Who was looking so sad just now?"
"Who's looking sad? I just get a headache when I think about all the talk I have to do."
Ye Beixiu struggled to sit up and stretched out his hand, "Give me your head, I'll rub it for you."
Zhang Juexia lay on Ye Beixiu, enjoying his massage intoxicatedly.
Early the next morning, Zhang Juexia had just finished breakfast and washed the dishes.
Li Yiqin and Ye Suyun came to find Zhang Juexia, "You came early enough."
"When making clothes for grandpa and grandma, make sure they are made early so they can wear new clothes sooner."
"Then let's get started now!"
While Ye Suyun and Ye Beixiu were talking, Li Yiqin pulled Zhang Juexia aside and whispered, "Suyun is in a bad mood today. Find a chance to comfort her."
"When you left yesterday, you were fine."
"It's all because of her marriage. When we went back yesterday, my uncle came to our house and mentioned that he wanted Suyun to marry him. After all, my uncle's family is my mother's family, and my mother wanted to agree to the marriage."
Li Yiqin pointed inside and said, "Suyun didn't agree. First, she didn't like her cousin, and second, she didn't like her aunt's personality. Anyway, she just didn't want to get married."
"If you don't want to get married, then don't get married. Anyway, our Suyun will never have trouble finding a husband."
"Although that's true, my mother wants Suyun to get married. Alas..."
Li Yiqin sighed, "My uncle came to our house just to test the waters. If mother gives in and agrees, it will be hard for Suyun."
"Is life difficult for my uncle's family?"
Li Yiqin glared at her, "Life is not what people live for. Your life should have been better when you married Bei Xiu! It's just that Su Yun didn't like the son of her uncle."
"Is there something wrong with my uncle's son?"
"There's nothing wrong with him, but he's a bad person because he was spoiled by my aunt."
"It's best not to marry a mama's boy like this. He's still nursing and will be irritated every day after you marry him."
"That's right. I heard from your eldest brother that your uncle's family only has two mu of land, and the little food they harvest is not enough to eat. On weekdays, they rely on your uncle to do odd jobs to earn some pocket money to supplement the family income.
My cousin from my uncle's family was spoiled by my aunt and became lazy and didn't do any work.
My uncle is an honest man. I guess he was forced to come to our house to talk about this matter because of my aunt's pressure."
"Is my aunt trying to get something for nothing? Or maybe she thinks her son is so extraordinary that even if a princess were to marry her son, she would feel it was unfair to him."
Li Yiqin nodded in agreement, "That's true! My uncle's family probably wants to spend the least amount of money and marry a daughter-in-law who can help them."
"Then we have to tell Suyun that we can't agree to this marriage."
The two of them had been whispering outside for a while. Zhang Juexia was worried that Ye Suyun would become suspicious, so he smiled and pulled Li Yiqin into the house. "Suyun, my sister-in-law brought silk flowers today. Did you bring any?"
Ye Suyun's face was gloomy, and it was obvious that she hadn't had a good rest. "Sister-in-law, I plan to bring her when I go to town in a few days."
"Okay, you must bring it! Look at my sister-in-law, she looks much more energetic today."
Li Yiqun works efficiently. She picks up a ruler and measures the cloth. After measuring the cloth, she cuts the pattern skillfully.
Zhang Juexia and Ye Suyun were responsible for putting the cotton in place. After the two of them put the cotton in place, Li Yiqun had already picked up the needle and prepared to sew.
The three of them worked in perfect harmony and soon a set of cotton jackets and trousers was ready.
Just as he was about to make another person's clothes, Ye Beishan ran up, sweating profusely. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "Qin'er, there are guests at home. Grandma and grandpa want you all to go home, and Xia'er has to go with you."
Zhang Juexia asked, "Grandma really said that I should go too."
Ye Beishan wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand. "Grandma specifically told you to go. Don't worry about Beixiu's meals. I'll take care of them for him later."
"Brother, what's going on?"
Ye Beishan glanced at Ye Suyun and said, "Zhao Xiang, the furniture maker in town, brought his wife and his third son, Zhao Xin, to propose marriage."
Ye Suyun blushed and lowered her head.
Zhang Juexia and Li Yiqun looked at each other and laughed.
When one family has a daughter, hundreds of families will seek her out. This is a good thing!
Ye Beixiu, who was lying on the kang, was happy when he heard what they said. After all, the Zhao family in the town lived a good life, much better off than their Ye family.
"Xia'er, ask your eldest brother to go to the backyard and catch two wild rabbits. Manager Zhao loves them."
Ye Beishan did not refuse this time. He went straight to the backyard and picked two fat rabbits.
"Bei Xiu, I won't be polite. Let Xia'er come with us. She's a good cook and can help us. I'll bring you lunch."
"Then stop talking and go!"
Ye Beixiu waved his hand, urging them to leave quickly. He added, "Suyun, you have to think carefully about marriage. The Zhao family father and son have worked for my family before, and their character is beyond reproach. However, this matter also requires your approval."
Ye Suyun's face was already a big red cloth, and she whispered "hmm".
Zhang Juexia pulled Ye Suyun out and said, "Your brother Bei Xiu is absolutely right. When a woman gets married, it's like a new life. You have to think carefully about it."
"Sister-in-law, can I really choose for myself?"
"Of course, Suyun, you are not like me. I am a stepmother and have no choice in some things. But you are the treasure of our family!"
"The Zhao family lives such a good life, how could they choose me?"
"Suyun, you're wrong to think so. The fact that someone chose you means you have strengths.
Why should we encourage others and destroy our own prestige? "
"Sister-in-law, I... I'm unsure, I'm worried that I..."
Ye Suyun was obviously nervous, and her mind was in a mess.
Zhang Juexia comforted her, "Don't be afraid. Our family has good upbringing. When we meet the Zhao family later, we will greet them openly and talk to them. You have to understand that it's not them who choose you, but you who choose them."
