After Xu Guixiang returned to the bedroom, she woke up Su Weiguo who had fallen asleep.
"Boss, don't go to sleep yet. I want to tell you something."
Su Weiguo hummed in a daze, turned over without even closing his eyes, and fell asleep again.
Xu Guixiang reached out and tugged his ear hard, and Su Weiguo suddenly woke up.
"Ah? What's the matter? Tell me."
It seemed that he still heard what Xu Guixiang said just now.
"I'm telling you, your second son has found a wife, and he's getting married now."
"What? He found it when, what, what?" Su Weiguo was so anxious that he couldn't speak.
"He talked to me as soon as he got there. It's been more than a day. Don't you think this guy is good at keeping a secret?"
"Where are you looking for him? Is he from our village?"
Xu Guixiang shook her head. "She is a girl from this town. Her parents are away from home. Recently, her relatives want to occupy her house. The girl agreed and wants to find a man who can set up a household and help her keep the house.
The girl has already told your son about this, and if he wanted to agree, they would ask a matchmaker to introduce her to you, and your second son agreed to the girl in a hurry."
"Is that kid going to bribe me?" Su Weiguo propped himself up with one arm.
"It's not like a bribe, but it's pretty close to it."
"What do you mean?"
"The girl has a younger brother who is still too young, almost the same age as us three dogs. When her brother is able to start a family and build a career, they will give the house to him and move back."
Su Jianguo leaned against the head of the bed and said, "I think it's great. First of all, the woman's relatives are difficult to deal with, but as for the fact that you have to shoulder the burden after getting married, I think it's perfect."
Xu Guixiang was stunned. "What burden are you carrying?"
"Do you think that girl still has a younger brother? Nowadays, people like to study. I have to help her raise her younger brother and support him through school. What if he does well in school and goes to school? And when he graduates, I have to find him a wife? There are more troubles to come."
Xu Guixiang didn't think about it just now, but now that the man said it, she realized that it was indeed a burden. She just wanted a younger sister, and that wouldn't be so troublesome.
After Su Weiguo's analysis, Xu Guixiang felt that this marriage was more suitable.
"Then let's persuade the second kid tomorrow and let him give up."
Su Weiguo hummed, "Okay, let's go to sleep first."
Xu Guixiang blew out the kerosene lamp on the bedside and lay down.
The next day, just as Xu Guixiang got up, Su Haibin came out of the room with dark circles under his eyes.
He followed Xu Guixiang into the kitchen and saw Liu Ye was also in the kitchen, so he called out to Xu Guixiang.
"Mom, please come out for a moment."
Xu Guixiang had just wiped her face with water when she heard Su Wenbin calling her. She quickly washed her face and walked out while wiping it with the hair in her hand.
"Mom, did you tell my dad about what happened yesterday? What did he say?"
It was a bit cold outside and Xu Guixiang's face was still wet, so she quickly wiped it back and forth with a towel.
Then he said, "Your father thinks the same as I do, he also supports this marriage."
After hearing this, Su Haibin's face suddenly changed.
He had been worried all night, and this was actually the result.
"Mom, she doesn't even want a penny of betrothal gift, and she looks good enough for me. Are you and Dad asking too much?"
Xu Guixiang rolled her eyes at him and said, "You said you want a dowry, but why don't you think about it carefully? You're marrying only her, and don't forget that she has a younger brother. You're marrying one and giving another away, don't you know?"
Su Haibin said to Xu Guixiang with some anger: "He's someone else's younger brother, you can always take care of him, right?"
Xu Guixiang glared at her son with a look of hatred.
"I'm saying these things just because you have to take care of me. Just think about it, until her brother grows up, you will have to take care of all his food, drink, defecation and urination?
Your father also said that children nowadays are interested in studying, and her brother must study well so that he can go to school and get another sum of money.
Is he going to marry a wife? Marrying a wife also requires a lot of money. Let me tell you, there is no such thing as pie falling from the sky. Even if it falls, it will hit you on the head. Don't just think about good things here."
What Xu Guixiang said were all practical problems that had to be faced, and Su Haibin also found something to refute them.
But he had already decided on Zhang Ting in his heart. He felt that these problems were minor problems for the time being. As for the future, he would take it one step at a time. Anyway, Zhang Ting would face them with him, so he was not afraid.
Xu Guixiang knew that he might accept it for a while, so she said something to comfort him.
"Just listen to me and your dad. We, as your parents, have lived in this world for decades and have seen more things than you do. So when you have the time, just tell the girl directly. Our family agrees and let her find the right person as soon as possible.
Don't worry, your father and I will never let you be single no matter how hard it is. We will just have to endure a little more hardship, and when we have some extra money, I will find a matchmaker to introduce you to someone better than her."
It was quite cold outside. After standing there for a while, Xu Guixiang's hands were frozen.
"Think about it carefully. I'll go in and help your sister-in-law cook."
After Xu Guixiang finished speaking, she shrank her neck, turned around and walked into the kitchen.
Su Haibin raised his leg and kicked a small wooden stick in front of his heel. When he was about to turn around and go back to the house, he suddenly heard someone calling him in a low voice.
"Second brother, second brother, come here."
Su Haibin looked back and saw that the window in Su Wan's room was ajar, and a slender white hand stretched out, waving at him.
Only then did he realize that when they were talking, mother and son had not noticed that they were standing right in front of Su Wan's window.
Su Haibin blushed. Su Wan must have heard everything he said just now.
He didn't want anyone to know about this before his parents agreed. It would be embarrassing if it happened.
Su Wan had indeed heard it all. She got up early every day and wanted to rush to the county town to deliver goods to Zhu Jianhong.
It was a bit cold outside. She slept in the space last night. Just after she came out of the space, she heard Su Haibin and Xu Guixiang whispering in there.
Su Haibin was acting mysterious last night, so Su Wan became even more curious and leaned against the window to listen.
The sound of their conversation just now was quite low, and she could hear it clearly through the glass window.
Su Haibin's ears turned red as he moved closer to the window. "Wanwan, did I disturb your sleep just now?"
Su Wan waved her hands, "Brother, it's very cold outside, come in, I have something to say to you."
After she finished speaking, regardless of Su Haibin's agreement, she quickly closed the window, walked to the door and opened it from the inside.
Su Haibin hesitated for a moment before going in. His sister was the boss of the family, and no one dared to listen to her.
"Second brother, I heard what you just said to our mother." Su Wan also avoided hesitation and said it directly.
Su Haibin rubbed his hands together and said somewhat embarrassedly: "I'm sorry to embarrass you, but both my mom and dad agree."
"Brother, don't worry about what our father and mother think. I just want to ask you what you think in your heart. You really want to be with that girl."
Su Haibin nodded shyly, "Actually, she's a nice person, hardworking and capable. If you don't miss her, I guarantee you'll find someone better than her."
Su Wan pulled the corner of her mouth, "Second brother, do you want me to give you some advice?"
