The family sat around the table and started eating, occasionally teasing the He family. Su Qingyun was a little absent-minded holding the bowl.
"Yunyun, what's wrong?" Qin Ying looked at her with concern.
"It's nothing, Mom. I just think He Qinqin is quite pitiful." Su Qingyun whispered. In this era, it is really sad and pitiful that even your own marriage and lifelong happiness cannot be in your own hands.
Qin Ying paused, looking at her fair and tender face with a gentle expression, "Our Yunyun will never encounter such a thing. In the future, as long as you like someone and as long as that person has no problem with his character, my parents will not object."
"Yes, Bao'er, I must personally screen the person you marry in the future," Wu Guixiang said firmly, "If anyone dares to treat you badly, I will kill them with my knife."
"Mom, grandma, what are you talking about?" Su Qingyun was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. How did the conversation about her elder brother end up involving her?
She put down the bowl, took one in each hand, and smiled, "I will stay with you from now on and won't go anywhere."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Although Wu Guixiang was angry, the smile on her face became bigger and bigger. Her Baoer knew that she was feeling uncomfortable and was deliberately trying to make her happy!
Over in Changxiu Village, the He family breathed a sigh of relief after sending the Su family away. She had also heard of the Su family's old lady's vicious reputation. She was afraid that they would make a fuss, but she didn't expect them to leave so tactfully.
Thinking of the eighty yuan betrothal gift, He's heart was burning with joy, and her face was wrinkled with smile. When He's father came home from work, he saw the smile on her face and asked curiously, "What good news are you having? You are so beautiful."
"What good news could there be?" Mrs. He said with a smile, "Nothing good right now can compare to Qinqin's marriage to the Zhang family."
He's father paused, his face a little hesitant. He looked at the closed door of He Qinqin's room and said hesitantly: "Mother, tell me, should we do this..."
"Alright, alright, don't tell me anything else." Mrs. He waved her hands impatiently. "We're all doing this for Qinqin's own good. With the Zhang family's conditions, wouldn't she be able to enjoy a good life if she married into it?"
"But we only have this one daughter." Father He was still a little reluctant.
"Because we only have this one daughter, we have to think carefully. We don't have a son to take care of us in our old age. What will happen when we get too old and can't work? Is it okay not to let Qinqin marry into a well-off family?"
Mr. He was speechless and could only shut up.
The two began to eat, and Mrs. He resolutely refused to allow her father to call He Qinqin out to eat.
"Wait until she figures it out, then come out."
She deliberately raised her voice, but there was no response in He Qinqin's room.
After dinner, He's father was worried about his daughter. Under He's gaze, he took the key, brought a bowl of rice, and went into He Qinqin's room.
Looking at his daughter lying on the bed crying silently, Father He sighed and put the bowl on the bedside cabinet.
"Qinqin, don't blame us. The boy from the Su family is good, but they have many families and their conditions are not as good as the Zhang family. Your mother and I only have you as our daughter, so we can only rely on you for the rest of our lives. If you marry well, we will be fine."
He Qinqin's tears flowed even more violently at He's father's helpless words. She turned her back to prevent He's father from seeing her face.
Father He was silent for a while and then went out.
When the lock was locked, He Qinqin buried her face in the quilt and burst into tears.
Two days later, Su Congjun finally calmed down and prepared to go to the city to work. The whole Su family was in high spirits, and even Zhang Xinlan, who was originally resentful, had a little more joy on her face.
The county was far away, so Su Congjun could only come back every now and then. He packed his things and put on his neatest clothes.
"Not bad, he looks energetic, like a city dweller!" Su Aiguo gave a thumbs up and praised.
Li Xiulian looked worried. "Join the army. Once you get to the factory, you must work hard and learn from your master. Strive to become a regular employee as soon as possible. Remember, you must not bring shame to our Su family. This job you represent is not just for yourself. Do you understand?"
"I know, mother, don't worry." Su Congjun was full of energy, "Grandpa, grandma, you can rest assured too."
"Let's go." Su Aimin said.
After all, Su Congjun was able to enter the steel plant because of his relationship with Su Qingyun. On the first day, Su Aimin accompanied him.
Watching the two of them leave, Su Qingyun smiled meaningfully. Her father looked so eager to make some more money.
