Chapter 1753: Child Marriage 4
Propose marriage? How old is Xi Bao?
Lu Jiang refused without hesitation, "His mother is the head of our family. Not to mention that the child is only twelve years old this year, he is just a little boy. Even if his age is doubled, we as parents will not interfere with his freedom of marriage and love."
Su Junshu was stunned, and his voice became louder, "You don't want to?"
Lu Jiang's answer went against his plan greatly.
Although Lu Tianmao is indeed a little young, with his intelligence, the Lu family background, and his relationship with the old leader, there is no need to worry about his future. He is definitely a rich son-in-law. Su Junshu has a keen eye, so of course he has to strike first. When Lu Tianmao grows up, there will be many families eyeing him, and it may not be his family's turn.
Among his group of granddaughters, Su Junshu likes Su Jiaojiao the most, so he naturally makes plans for her in advance.
Su Jiaojiao's parents are not of high rank and have no special abilities. They have been relying on themselves to make a living all these years and have not moved in more than ten years. In order to let Su Jiaojiao live a worry-free life forever, Su Junshu feels that he must arrange for her to marry into a good family so that she can continue to enjoy the benefits brought by a high-ranking official family without having to look at other people's faces.
Not only does one need to have a good family, but one must also be an outstanding talent. It is difficult for a mediocre person to maintain long-term prosperity with only a good family background.
Su Junshu went through several rounds of selection before finally choosing Lu Tianmao. Lu Jiang had a shallow foundation and he could suppress him, and he could obviously go further. Lu Tianmao was also the eldest son and would definitely get most of the Lu family's resources in the future, allowing him and Jiaojiao to cultivate their relationship from childhood and get married naturally when they were old enough. This was hundreds of times better than those who got married after reaching a certain age through blind dates.
He revealed his intention to Su Jiaojiao. After seeing Lu Tianmao's photo, Su Jiaojiao's parents and Su Jiaojiao were very satisfied. Taking advantage of the fact that Lu Tianmao had been living in the compound recently, they had been planning to get close to him.
Su Junshu had made a thousand and one plans, but he never expected Lu Jiang to reject him outright, not even politely.
Lu Jiang didn't know what Su Junshu was thinking, so he said patiently, "Don't be surprised, old comrade. I definitely can't agree to this. Parents' orders and matchmaker's words are all old feudal things that have long been abandoned by the new society. A few years ago, old comrade Luo Cheng wanted to arrange a baby marriage with my daughter, but I didn't agree, and it's no exception now."
Are you kidding? What kind of upbringing does the Su family have? Not to mention the distant past, just Su Meixiang alone makes their family avoid her as much as possible.
"Comrade Lu Jiang, don't rush to refuse. Once you meet my Jiaojiao, you will know how excellent she is." Su Junshu is very confident in his granddaughter. "My Jiaojiao is the most beautiful girl in the compound. She is well-behaved and sensible. She will definitely not let you down. She will definitely be a good daughter-in-law for your family. The relationship between our two families can also be further improved."
Jiang Yun and Lu Jiang agreed to go back together in the evening. After waiting for him for a long time and he didn't come out, he came over. He happened to hear Su Junshu's words and immediately frowned and said, "Old Su, what did you say? Lu Jiang's eldest daughter-in-law is only twelve years old. Where did Lu Jiang get a daughter-in-law?"
Su Junshu pulled him and said, "Lao Jiang, come and tell Lu Jiang how good my Jiaojiao is and how well she matches Lu Tianmao."
"Old Su, you are getting old and confused, right? How old is Xi Bao and you want him to be your grandson-in-law? What era is this?" Jiang Yun still didn't understand anything. Thinking of the rumors Jiang Xiaoyue had said about Su Jiaojiao, he couldn't help but pat Su Junshu's arm. "Don't say that Lu Jiang doesn't agree. Even an outsider like me can't stand it. How can you be like this?"
