Xu Xiangyang was stunned listening to this. What was going on? He was being arranged to get married right away?
no……
He is not ready yet. He has just gotten used to going to the toilet. How can he poop on his wife?
this……
"Grandpa, isn't it too early to get married?" Xu Xiangyang looked conflicted. He really didn't want to get married.
Wang Zhongshan was stunned when he heard his words, then smiled and said, "This is just a delaying tactic. If you want to get married, you have to wait for your parents to approve it."
Although he is a grandfather, he has no intention of interfering in his grandson's marriage.
Xu Xiangyang felt relieved when he heard this. As long as he was not allowed to get married, it would be fine.
It’s not that he thinks he will never have to get married, but he really doesn’t have that idea now.
This time Wang Xiumin felt relieved and thought that there was hope for the division of the family business, so she helped Grandma Wang clear the table and hurried home with Xu Xiangyang.
Xu Xiangyang didn't know what his cheap mother was thinking. Dividing the family was a good thing, but he felt that this matter still needed to be considered in the long run.
It's not like Old Mrs. Xu lived to such an old age in vain. When the topic of marriage suddenly comes up, she will definitely think of dividing the family property.
Although I can't think of it immediately, if I think about it carefully, I will definitely be able to turn it around.
Therefore, Xu Xiangyang felt that this matter should not be handled impulsively and needed to be discussed.
After arriving home, he quickly stopped Wang Xiumin from going to the main house.
"What's the matter? Goudan, don't you want to divide the family?" She looked at her son with some confusion.
Xu Xiangyang was already immune to this title, and then he expressed his own views.
"Mother, you see, it's not even the first month of the year yet, and we've just distributed grain. Even if we divide the family, I guess the old lady won't be able to give you much food."
"Besides, we haven't checked the work yet, so don't worry. Let's discuss it when Dad comes back in the evening." He was not particularly anxious.
After all, the work hasn't been finalized yet. If they break up in a hurry, where will they go to eat?
Wang Xiumin felt that the child was right, so she said, "Okay, we'll study it after your father gets home from work."
Xu Xiangyang looked at the snowflakes falling outside, and his heart was absent-minded.
It is really difficult to find a good job at this time, and although temporary workers get paid, it is not a formal job after all.
What's more, because he left in such a hurry, he didn't even have time to ask what the job was.
If it was physical work, he was really afraid that his small body wouldn't be able to handle it.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Laosan came back. He went into the house, brushed the snow off his body, and then sat on the kang to warm himself.
"Dad." Xu Xiangyang called out.
Xu Laosan nodded and asked, "Does your head still hurt?" He was worried that Xu Xiangyang's headache would affect his health, so he was always worried about him.
Xu Xiangyang wore a hat when he went out today, so he didn't feel uncomfortable.
"It should be healed. It doesn't hurt anymore." He only felt itchy at the wound occasionally. This was normal. It should be growing flesh.
Xu Laosan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. What would he do if anything happened to his son?
He must be worried to death with just this one child.
"Are you back?" Wang Xiumin, who was holding firewood, saw him coming back, so she quickly dropped the firewood and ran over.
"What's the matter?" Xu Laosan looked at her like this, wondering what this person was going to do?
"I want to tell you something." Wang Xiumin lowered her voice and whispered in his ear.
Xu Xiangyang didn't listen carefully. He knew that they were discussing the division of the family.
After hearing what Wang Xiumin said, Xu Laosan looked at Xu Xiangyang with a complicated expression.
Xu Xiangyang: ???
Why are you looking at him like that?
"What are you thinking? Tell me." Wang Xiumin nudged him with her elbow.
Xu Laosan knew that if this kind of life continued, the family would probably never be able to turn things around.
But after years of being oppressed by Old Lady Xu, he now wants to split the family business. His wife doesn't want to work for others, and if he doesn't do it, the family will starve.
He wanted to escape from his current life, but he was afraid that he would not be able to do well and would be a burden to his wife and children.
So, he is very hesitant now.
Wang Xiumin rolled her eyes and threatened, "I'm telling you, Xu Laosan, if you don't agree to a split, I'll take Goudan back to my parents' home. Not only have I been suffering with you here, and going through all this hardship and poverty, how come you still don't feel sorry for us, mother and daughter?"
Her words frightened Xu Laosan immediately. He was not cared about to begin with. If his wife and children were gone, he would be nothing.
"Okay!" He gritted his teeth, "I'll do as you say."
At worst, I could just work a little harder, but I wouldn't starve to death. If all else failed, I could just go to my father-in-law's house. He didn't care who would take care of him in his old age.
Wang Xiumin was now happy that her husband was obedient, and she never thought that he was starting to think about going back to his parents' home.
Seeing that the family had reached a consensus, Xu Xiangyang said, "Since you have all decided, then Dad should go and talk to me. If my grandma disagrees, then you can talk to her."
The couple had no objection to what the child said. Today, Xu Xiangyang also sat at the dinner table and ate obediently.
The food is still corn grits porridge, which is considered good. Some families can't even afford it.
The side dish is pickled vegetables and shredded radish, just a small bowl.
Xu Xiangyang didn't eat much. He drank a bowl of corn grits and didn't move his chopsticks again.
There is basically no work now. Everyone eats one bowl of food, and they are not given more than that.
In fact, everyone will wake up hungry in the second half of the night, but if you want to eat, you have to wait until dawn.
After dinner, Wang Xiumin coughed and signaled Xu Laosan to speak.
Xu Laosan was sitting on the other end of the kang, feeling a little conflicted, but he was afraid of his wife, so he had no choice but to speak.
"Mom, Goudan is old enough, I think it's time for him to get married." He went straight to the point without beating around the bush.
Xu Xiangyang felt helpless, but this was also a good thing, as it saved him from dithering.
"Propose marriage?" The old lady raised her eyebrows.
The others also looked at Xu Laosan, their eyes full of confusion.
"How old is Goudan? Xiangmin hasn't even proposed marriage yet. Why are you in such a hurry?" The old lady didn't seem to agree.
Wang Xiumin also noticed it, but she didn't want to wait. Although her family didn't earn many work points throughout the year, she couldn't let her child suffer.
She doesn't want them to make money to fill these holes!
"Mom, isn't Xiangmin in college? How can he be the same as other children? Goudan doesn't have much future. The important thing for him is to get married and have a child as soon as possible." She deliberately brought up the matter of having a child.
Xu Laosan and his family only have one son, unlike Xu Laoda, who have two sons and one daughter, and Xu Laoer, who have three daughters.
As the only heir in this family, he must get married as soon as possible, otherwise the family line will be cut off.
Old Mrs. Xu was choked by her words. Logically speaking, there was nothing wrong with this, and no one could stop her, right?
But marrying a wife requires money, and she doesn’t want to take the money!
Old Master Xu glanced at the others and said nothing. It was obvious that he wanted to get away with it.
