"Ah, Mother, why did you call me?" Su Xingran was startled from her reverie by her mother's voice. She looked up and saw her mother looking at her with concern. Well, she had been lost in thought.
You silly child, I've called you several times, but you haven't responded. You've just been standing there blankly, which startled me. I thought something was wrong with you.
No, no, Mother, I was just thinking about something, I was so engrossed that I didn't hear you call me. Mother, what did you want to say to me when you called me?
Never mind, we'll just ask your dad later. Let's just cook. That old man is still inside; he's probably still talking to your dad.
In the main hall, Su's father almost laughed when he heard what Su's father had said. This guy was really trying to get money from Uncle Huang! It was as if he felt responsible for Su Wenxing becoming a bachelor if his family didn't help. The gist was that he wanted Ranran to help him get tickets from Uncle Huang, and if he didn't help, he, as the uncle, would be letting his nephew Su Wenxing down.
Dad, you're making things difficult for Ranran by asking her master? Why don't you just go to Uncle Huang's house and ask him yourself? Wouldn't that be better? Besides, if Uncle Huang says he has tickets, are you planning to exchange them for tickets at the same price to pay back the money? Are you borrowing them from him?
Old Man Su was speechless after being questioned by his father. His plan was simply to ask Doctor Huang if his second son's daughter could help him. He didn't intend to exchange money for the tickets; he just planned to borrow them. After all, his second son's daughter and Doctor Huang were master and apprentice. If the girl had the tickets later, he could return them to her master; otherwise, he could consider them a gift from Doctor Huang.
He's that girl's grandfather, and Wenxing is her cousin. They're family, so it's normal for them to help each other. Second brother, the family doesn't have much money right now; we've saved some for Wenxing's wedding banquet. Could you ask Xingran to borrow some from her master? She can pay it back later. If not, Xingran is Doctor Huang's apprentice, so he won't mind.
If Dr. Huang needs money to buy tickets, could you lend him some? You earned three hundred yuan recently, didn't you? Your eldest brother and sister-in-law emptied their savings to get Wenxing married. You only have Xingran as your child. After she gets married, won't all your possessions be left to your nephews? You'll have to rely on them to take care of you in your old age and see you off in your final days!
Su Xingran originally went inside to see if her father and the old man had finished their conversation. She hadn't expected to hear such disgusting words from the old man; it was clearly a scheme to get something for nothing, to swindle her first and then her father. If her father relied on those good-for-nothings in the old house who only knew how to sponge off their parents, he probably wouldn't even get a tattered straw mat to live on in his old age, and would just rot on the ground, leaving no trace of his remains.
My dad doesn't need that. Other people's children will take care of him in his old age and see him off in his final days. He'll have his daughter to look after him, and he'll have a peaceful and healthy old age. You should worry about your uncle. After all, he had so many sons, and so far, all he's good for is sponging off his grandparents and parents. He's accomplished nothing.
Furthermore, I will not trouble or bother my master for anyone's sake. If my cousin is capable, he can get married; if not, he shouldn't. He shouldn't harm others for the sake of a dowry. He should not harm his marriage partner, who will end up with nothing and live off his parents. He should not harm his uncle, who will be forced to spend money and effort for him. He should not harm his cousin, who will become an unfaithful and unjust person and betray his own master.
Su Xingran walked in from the doorway, talking as she went, and stood in front of Old Man Su, looking at him expressionlessly. Su Xingran was shorter than him, only eleven or twelve centimeters, but her aura overwhelmed him.
