The couple was a little confused. They didn't like this marriage, so how could Su Wan conclude that they liked it with just a few words?

And not only that, why are you talking about marriage as well?

This... who has the final say in this family?

Xu Guixiang was muttering to herself when Sangou suddenly stood up, wiped his mouth and said, "I'm full and going to school. You guys should hurry up and eat too."

Xu Guixiang realized that if they didn't eat the meal, it would get cold. They should put their issues aside for now and eat first.

So she suppressed her unhappiness and greeted everyone.

"Everyone, please eat quickly, or the food will get cold soon."

In front of each person there was a bowl of rice and a bowl of stew.

Su Wan was sitting next to Zhang Ting. Upon hearing this, she hurriedly pushed the food towards her.

"Zhang Ting, come eat and try your cooking skills."

Zhang Ting hadn't eaten meat for a long time. Coupled with Su Wan's extraordinary cooking skills, the taste was simply amazing. After taking a bite, she quickly gave Su Wan a thumbs up.

"Wanwan, you are such a great cook."

"Of course, your cooking skills are recognized by the whole family." Su Wan boasted about herself without hesitation.

"What Wanwan said is true. Wanwan is the one who cooks the best meals in our family. Every time she cooks, all the food is eaten up without leaving any residue." Liu Ye also quickly followed suit with a compliment.

Zhang Ting was full of this bowl of rice and a bowl of vegetables.

After everyone finished eating, she and Liu Ye rushed to clean up the dishes. Xu Guixiang said a few polite words and then followed her.

To be honest, this girl is bold and capable, her hands and feet seem to be very nimble, and her round face looks festive and auspicious. She is a very good candidate for a daughter-in-law.

If her family burden hadn't been so heavy, Xu Guixiang would have really fallen in love with her.

When she thought about the fact that she had a younger brother, and that her relatives were no pushovers, and that there would be wars to fight, her brows furrowed involuntarily.

Zhang Ting followed Liu Ye to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Su Wan also wanted to go over and talk to them, but was stopped by Xu Guixiang.

"Wanwan, wait a moment. I have something to tell you."

After Xu Guixiang finished speaking, she walked towards the room where she lived.

Su Wan knew that this conversation would end sooner or later, so she could only face it calmly.

"Mom, what do you want to say to me?"

Su Wan walked behind Xu Guixiang and stretched out her hands to massage her shoulders.

"Okay, sit down. I'm afraid you'll be tired."

Su Wan sat down in front of her obediently, "Mom, go ahead."

"Wanwan, do you know about Zhang Ting's family situation?"

Su Wan shook her head. "I don't know. I haven't asked, and Zhang Ting hasn't told me. What's wrong? Is there any problem with her family?"

Xu Guixiang sighed, "Her parents are gone, and now she only has a younger brother to rely on at home. You are still young and haven't experienced much, so you are not considering the whole situation.

You think she's a good person, she's your classmate, and she has a crush on your second brother, so you want to help them get married. Mom understands this, but have you ever thought about how difficult your second brother's life would be if he married her?"

"Ah? It turns out that Zhang Ting's parents are both gone. She is so pitiful." Su Wan looked distressed.

"But, Mom, my second brother married Zhang Ting, not Zhang Ting's parents. How can the death of her parents affect my second brother's life? Mom, I don't quite understand what you mean."

Su Wan pretended to be ignorant even though she knew the truth.

"I said you couldn't consider so many things. Think about it, her brother is about the same age as San Gou, and it will take many years to raise him to adulthood.

Let's not talk about the fact that he has to spend money on everything from food and drink to toilets in the past few years. Let me ask you, is her brother in school? Does it cost money to go to school? Now he spends little money in elementary school, but what about high school? What about college? Will he get married after graduating from college?

Zhang Ting is his sister, she can't just ignore him, even if you wait until her brother gets married and starts a family, how much money will it cost to pass on the money?"

Su Wan never expected that her mother, although illiterate, was very good at accounting.

In order to gain Xu Guixiang's trust, she had no choice but to follow her words.

"Yes, what you said are very realistic problems. However, Mom, didn't I tell you that our country may soon carry out economic reforms, and then everyone will make money based on their own work. It will no longer be like now, where farmers can only dig for food in the fields with their butts bent."

"Even if we open up further, we still need ways to make money. We old farmers don't know how to farm, so how can we expect to make money?"

Apparently Xu Guixiang has not realized that once the spring breeze of reform blows, opportunities to make money are everywhere as long as you have a quick brain. It all depends on whether you have the vision.

But for an uneducated rural woman who had worked in the fields for half her life, it was normal for her to think of these things.

It seems she needs to come up with something more realistic to convince her.

Su Wan rolled her eyes and suddenly remembered Zhang Ting's family's small courtyard on the street.

"Mom, do you know? Zhang Ting's family lives in the front row in the middle of the town, which is the best location in the town. If private transactions are allowed at that time, her piece of land can be used for any transaction to allow them to live a good life.

I can assure you of this. As long as the national policy is liberalized, we will find ways to help them develop their business. You can rest assured."

Doing business is still a very distant thing for Xu Guixiang, so far away that she can't even imagine what it's like to do private business.

However, Su Wan's words still gave her some hope and expectations.

If that was the case, then she had nothing to worry about.

The mother and daughter were talking inside, while Su Weiguo and Su Haibin were sitting in the main room doing nothing.

The father and son also had a deep conversation about Zhang Ting's family problems.

…

"Have you decided on this girl?"

Su Haibin nodded firmly, "Yes, I have already chosen her."

"Must I marry you?"

"I must marry her."

Su Weiguo nodded and said nothing more.

He had just analyzed the pros and cons to Su Haibin.

But this kid insisted on going all the way to the end. No matter what he said, he would just wait for him there.

He said he had thought it through, he was not afraid, and he could bear all the consequences of his choice.

Su Weiguo was speechless, but he was still unwilling to give up, so he confirmed with him again. The boy's answer was still decisive, and he had no intention of backing down.

When Xu Guixiang and Su Wan came out of the room, the father and son had finished their conversation.

One of them turned his head this way, and the other turned his head that way, both of them looked like they couldn't convince anyone.

After Su Wan came out, she went to the kitchen to find Zhang Ting.

Seeing this, Su Haibin followed him out.

Xu Guixiang looked at the man with a questioning look, and Su Weiguo let out a long sigh.

"Alas - children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Wife, we should just stop interfering. It's useless to interfere. They won't listen to us.

If we force them to separate, they will probably resent us, so it is better to let them make their own choices. We just need to fulfill our obligations. We don’t have the ability to pay now, so we can make up for it when we are able to do so.”
