"Grandma, you don't know this. Although Xiaoxi is a maid, she is a senior maid who serves the master. Her status is different from that of ordinary maids. Moreover, she has been in the Su family for so many years. She must have many connections in the Su Mansion. If she helps to buy some connections in the Su family, maybe my husband can make further progress."
“Well, even if Xiaoxi is the head maid, her status is a little different. She is just a maid after all. Even if I agree, Wang will definitely not agree. That reckless woman will make a scene and it will be a headache. Haoge’er doesn’t know the truth and listens to his mother. He might think that I, his grandmother, am partial to him and don’t value him, so I let him marry a maid. It won’t sound good if this is spread out.” The old lady was still a little hesitant.
When Zhou saw the old lady like this, she knew that she agreed in her heart, but was just embarrassed and worried that her family would always oppose it. After all, getting married was an unusual event. Even if the old lady was used to acting alone, she couldn't do anything recklessly. If her family continued to oppose it and the matter failed, her future authority would also be affected. However, Zhou was confident that as long as she convinced the old lady, this matter would basically be accomplished, otherwise she would not have brought it up.
"Grandma, why don't you call my third brother over to ask him and see if he likes it. I'm actually thinking about my third brother and the first wife. If my third brother doesn't want to, then forget it. I have good intentions as your grandson's wife and don't want to be misunderstood."
"Do you really think so?" The old lady looked at Zhou with suspicion. Although she usually relied on her eldest granddaughter-in-law, she was not completely confused. She knew that the eldest granddaughter-in-law was very cunning. She pretended not to know because she wanted to suppress Wang. Now it was related to the marriage of her youngest grandson, and Zhou's position was opposite to that of her youngest grandson. Although she favored her eldest grandson, she also hoped for the best for her youngest grandson, so she had to doubt when she heard Zhou say this.
"Of course I think so. Grandma's words make me, your granddaughter-in-law, a little sad. Although I don't get along with Second Mother and the others, and we have quarreled for a while, it's just about trivial matters. I'm not the kind of person who can't figure out the big things. Third brother's marriage is the top priority of our family. How dare I joke about such a big thing! After all, third brother and we are a family. Even if there are some minor conflicts on weekdays, they are only internal conflicts. If third brother is well, everyone in our first house will benefit, right?"
"This?" The old lady had almost believed what Zhou said.
"Grandma, even if you don't believe that I am doing this for my third brother's good, this matter is related to my husband's future. I would never joke about my husband's affairs. Please believe me for once. Besides, whether this matter will succeed or not depends on my third brother's own wishes. Even if I, as his sister-in-law, want to do this for his good, he has to be willing to do so."
Zhou was so confident that she dared to let Han Hao speak out because she had noticed that her good third brother looked at Xiaoxi with a strange look in his eyes. As an experienced person, she could see that Han Hao was interested in that maid.
Han Hao is just a fool who likes colors. To be honest, Xiaoxi is a pretty girl and she is also very efficient at work. If she marries into the family, most of the housework will be assigned to Xiaoxi, and she will be much more relaxed. Xiaoxi, who was born a maid, doesn't dare to say much. Besides, a maid has to work, and she is probably used to it.
The old lady felt that this was indeed the case. No one forced her grandson to agree to marry Xiaoxi. In the end, it all depended on whether he was willing to do so.
The old lady had been worried about Han Hao's marriage for a long time. Thinking of this, she immediately took action: "Ping's daughter-in-law, go to the front and call Hao in. I want to ask him in person and see what he means."
It's done! She said the old lady would agree. What she said before were the things that the old lady was most concerned about. Zhou was happy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She readily agreed and went out to find someone.
Han Hao was a little surprised when Zhou called him over. When he heard that it was his grandmother who wanted to see him, although he didn't know what it was about, he immediately followed Zhou.
"Grandma, are you looking for me?" Han Hao walked in, put his arm around the old lady and asked affectionately. He was obviously a man who knew how to please the old lady.
"Brother Hao, grandma called you here because I want to ask you something. What do you think about your marriage? You are not young anymore. You can't put it off any longer. When your father and your elder brother and second brother were your age, they had already married and had sons."
"Grandma, I also want to get married early and have someone who understands me by my side. But you can see what the situation is now. I can't do whatever I want. The girls I like don't like me, and those who like me are all ugly, and some are not well-proportioned. If I marry them home, I won't be able to stand facing them every day." Han Hao was very angry when he talked about this. The girls he liked knew his family situation and backed off one by one. None of them was willing to marry him.
When the old lady heard her grandson say this, she felt distressed and angry at those girls for being so blind. They actually looked down on such a good grandson. Sooner or later, they will regret it.
"What do you think of Xiaoxi, who is next to Brother Yu's daughter-in-law? I think that girl is pretty and capable, and will definitely serve others, but her status is a bit low. However, you can't be picky in your current situation. If you meet the right one, you must act quickly. I heard that the girl is quite popular. She lives in the second room and many people come to propose marriage. If you have this intention, I will go to Brother Yu's daughter-in-law and talk to her to settle the matter first."
The old lady cared a lot about her grandson's attitude, but she didn't consider the opinions of Su Wenyue and Xier, the master and servant, at all. She didn't think at all whether Su Wenyue and Xier would agree to this matter. She just thought that if her grandson decided on it, then it would be fine. If Su Wenyue knew about it, she would definitely feel angry and ridiculous.
If Zhou had brought up this matter, Han Hao would definitely be suspicious and think that Zhou had some conspiracy. But it was different when the old lady asked this question.
Thinking of that beautiful figure, Han Hao's heart was moved, but the status of a maid was indeed a bit low. If she was to be his concubine, it would be ok, but if he wanted to marry her, the status of a maid was not good enough. Even if he liked her in his heart, he didn't want people to make a joke of it. Moreover, he had a secret idea in his mind. Han Yu was about the same age as him, and he married a lady from a wealthy family, but he married the maid of that family. Isn't this a clear admission that he is not as good as that cousin who always has a cold face?
