If their son wanted to marry someone else's daughter, they would be confident they could win her over, but with Qin Xiaoxiao from the Qin family, they had absolutely no hope.
Not to mention how much Old Madam Qin values and dotes on Qin Xiaoxiao, and how she must find her a good match, Qin Feng would never allow Su Lu to marry his eldest niece.
Su Lu has a really bad reputation. He's lazy, greedy, and cunning. He only earns enough work points in a year to make a decent person earn a month's worth of work points. How can he possibly support Qin Xiaoxiao with that? Is he even capable?
The Qin family would never marry Qin Xiaoxiao to their Su Lu; they couldn't bear to see Qin Xiaoxiao suffer with Su Lu.
Moreover, in the eyes of the Qin family, the Su family was too chaotic. Although they had separated, the various branches of the family still lived together, and there were bound to be some conflicts in their lives. They would not let Qin Xiaoxiao face such a life.
Wan Guihua twitched her lips and tried to discuss it with Su Lu, "Hey, fourth brother, let's talk about it, can we find someone else?"
Su Lu immediately objected, stood up, and looked at his mother with a stern face.
"Mother, what do you mean? You look down on Qin Xiaoxiao?"
Seeing her son getting anxious, Wan Guihua quickly stood up and waved her hands, "No, no, no, it's not that I don't like her, it's that the Qin family doesn't like us."
Wan Guihua sighed with a bitter smile, "Son, don't you know your own reputation? Think about it, with how much Old Madam Qin dotes on Qin Xiaoxiao, would she be willing to marry her off to you?"
Why should I follow you? I can't even earn a month's worth of work points all year round. How am I supposed to support their little one?
They're willing to suffer alongside you, even if it's just a little bit.
My son! Blame it on your bad reputation before, otherwise…
Otherwise, your mother could still help you earn some money, but now I don't even have the face to say it.
Although her son was wonderful in her heart, the Qin family might not have thought so!
Su Lu was stunned upon hearing this, and stood there blankly without saying a word.
Yes, he has a bad reputation. Would the Qin family be willing to marry Xiaoxiao to him?
He took it for granted.
He thought that persuading Qin Xiaoxiao would be enough, but he forgot how much the Qin family valued her.
When Wan Guihua saw that her son was silent, she quickly gave him another whack with the stick.
"The Qin family has already made it clear that Qin Xiaoxiao is going to find a son-in-law to ensure that the Qin family line continues."
Now your son won't be thinking about marrying Qin Xiaoxiao anymore, right?
Any man with a backbone would not be willing to become a live-in son-in-law, and her son certainly wouldn't be willing either.
Su Lu frowned upon hearing this and waved his hand, "I have no objection. There's nothing wrong with being a live-in son-in-law, as long as you agree."
My only worry is that the Qin family won't agree to let Xiaoxiao marry me.
"Mom, please help me think of a way. I'm determined to marry Xiaoxiao. I've already talked to her, and we'll go propose today."
When Wan Guihua heard that her son didn't mind becoming a live-in son-in-law, she immediately exploded.
"What? You want to become a live-in son-in-law in the Qin family? No way, I don't agree."
No matter how poor my Su family is, we will never let you become a live-in son-in-law. Besides, our Su family hasn't reached that point yet.
We can still afford to get a wife.
Over the years, she has only spent a portion of the money her fourth brother gave her, and she has now saved up about a hundred yuan. With this hundred yuan, it is more than enough to help her fourth brother get a wife.
Moreover, her son has money. If the female lead wants the three watches and one jingle, he can provide two of them. With such conditions, why would her son want to become a live-in son-in-law?
Su Lu shook his head. "It's not about the money, it's just a little bit worthwhile."
Mother, my Uncle Qin Min has no sons, only a little daughter. If none of her future children bear the surname Qin, Uncle Qin Min will truly be without descendants.
Actually, your thinking is too outdated. What does it matter what your surname is? It's just a form of address.
Just because someone has the surname Qin doesn't mean they're not my son or daughter! They're still my children!
Furthermore, we can discuss with the Qin family that the first child can take the Qin surname, and the second child can take the Su surname. This way, there won't be any issue with whether the child lives with the family or not.
Wan Guihua and Su Zhiyuan exchanged a glance and remained silent for a long time.
Su Zhiyuan took a drag of his cigarette. "From what you're saying, you've decided you've set your sights on that girl from the Qin family?"
Su Lu smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's her. I've never had the thought of getting married after dating any other girl before. She's the only girl I want to marry and be with forever."
He had to thank Qin Xiaoxiao; if it weren't for her sudden kiss the day before yesterday, he wouldn't have realized that he also had feelings for her.
Although it may not seem like much, and he wasn't entirely sure if he didn't love her, it was true that he had feelings for her and that he really wanted to marry her, and that was enough.
Feelings develop over time. I believe that as they spend more time together, he will eventually fall in love with her, and she will inevitably fall in love with him in return.
After all, he's so good-looking.
Su Lu subconsciously touched his face.
Well, he has that face, that's enough. Not to mention the whole of Hohhot, at least in the county, no one is better looking than him.
That's how confident Su Lu is.
Wan Guihua and Su Zhiyuan looked at each other and smiled bitterly again.
Their son was determined to marry Qin Xiaoxiao, what could they do? They could only give in to him.
What if they disagree, and their son gets so angry that he refuses to get married? Where will they find a way to undo their mistake?
So be it, it's just losing face once. As long as I can help my son marry Qin Xiaoxiao, I don't care about losing face.
Fortunately, they still have three sons and grandsons, so they don't care what surname Su Lusheng's children take, as long as the Su family line doesn't end.
Su Zhiyuan and Wan Guihua quickly came to a conclusion, and after breakfast, Wan Guihua went to Aunt Liu's house to ask her to help her act as matchmaker.
When Aunt Liu heard that it was to be a matchmaker for Su Lu and Qin Xiaoxiao, her face turned extremely ugly.
In her eyes, Su Lu was not a good candidate for marriage, even though he had a father who was a secretary.
To put it bluntly, if someone is not good enough, no matter how good their family's financial situation is, you can't accept them.
Qin Xiaoxiao had a very good impression on her; she was a "girlfriend" with whom they could gossip. She was a thousand times, a million times unwilling, to have Qin Xiaoxiao destroy her happiness with her own hands.
But since the Su family had put the task on her shoulders, she couldn't refuse. Her son was just a scorekeeper, not comparable to the village secretary. If she offended the Su family, she was afraid her son would lose his scorekeeper job.
Aunt Liu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a forced smile. "Alright, since you've said so, I'll go. But let me make this clear: I'm just helping to mediate. If the Qin family absolutely refuses, then there's nothing I can do."
Wan Guihua smiled and nodded, saying, "Sure, I'm very grateful that you can help me with this. I won't blame you no matter what the outcome is."
Although Aunt Liu wasn't a proper matchmaker, she could still arrange marriages, so she soon arrived at the Qin family's door with a big smile.
At this moment, the Qin family was thrown into chaos, like water being poured into a pot of oil, after Qin Xiaoxiao's words.
I disagree.
"I disagree."
"no."
"No discussion."
"If he can't do it, we can discuss it with the others."
From Qin Aiguo to Old Mrs. Qin, then to Qin Feng and Ma Dahua, and even Qin Ye, not one of them agreed to Qin Xiaoxiao marrying Su Lu; the whole family was against it.
