Qin Xiaoxiao looked helplessly at her family members with gloomy faces.
"Um, shall we discuss this again?"
Everyone in the Qin family shook their heads in unison, "There's no room for discussion."
Qin Xiaoxiao gasped.
Wow, they're so synchronized! No wonder they're a family, they can be so perfectly in sync.
Qin Xiaoxiao twitched her lips and sighed, "Actually, there's a reason why I agreed to Comrade Su Lu's marriage proposal."
Qin Aiguo interrupted Qin Xiaoxiao first, "You don't need to explain. No matter what you say, I will not agree."
Old Mrs. Qin continued with a stern face: "Marrying Su Lu? No way!"
Qin Feng also shook his head, "Su Lu has his merits and some skills, but for a life together, you should find someone else."
Ma Dahua continued to persuade, "Your grandparents and your uncle are right. They are your elders and would never harm you. We've lived to be this old and have more experience than you have. Listen to us, you won't go wrong."
Qin Ye's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "That bastard, I'll teach him a lesson! He dares to dream of marrying my sister!"
He didn't know when Su Lu had managed to win his sister's heart, and this was right under his nose. If this had happened anywhere else, his sister would probably be pregnant by now.
That damned male vixen! This isn't over yet!
Qin Xiaoxiao sighed and rubbed her forehead, "Can you please let me finish what I have to say? Think it through before you speak."
Qin Aiguo glanced at Qin Xiaoxiao and said, "Fine, you go ahead and we'll listen. We'll object after we've heard your opinion."
Qin Xiaoxiao choked, and sighed helplessly, "Grandpa, I know why you object. It's simply because he has a bad reputation, is lazy, doesn't earn many work points, and thinks he can't support me."
But have you ever thought about it? Over the years, he hasn't earned any work points. Although the other branches of the Su family have their opinions about him, none of them have made a fuss about it. Moreover, the Su family's division of property went incredibly smoothly. Why is that?
If Su Lu hadn't contributed money to the family all these years, and the other branches of the family hadn't received any benefits, would they have been willing to support him?
I heard that Su Lu often goes hunting in the mountains, and the Su family often gets to eat meat. With his hunting skills, I won't go hungry.
Moreover, I have money, so I don't care whether he goes to work or not, or how much he can earn if he does.
"As long as I have money, I can buy food."
"How long can your little bit of money last? We country folk still rely on the land to grow food, that's the most fundamental thing."
Qin Feng was the first to object.
Qin Aiguo nodded and said, "Your uncle is right. No matter how much money you have, it will eventually run out. Once it's all gone, what will you do?"
Grandma Qin disagreed even more, saying, "A woman marries a man because he needs food and clothing. Why would you marry a grown man if he needs you to support him?"
Old Mrs. Qin's words resonated most with Qin Xiaoxiao, and she understood the principle. If this were in later generations, she would never marry the kind of man Old Mrs. Qin was talking about.
However, Su Lu is different. He is not incompetent, nor is he a freeloader. Besides, he is really not short of money.
The supplies in her space were enough for her to eat and drink well for thirty years. In addition, there were gold and silver jewelry and jade artifacts that she had carried in a large handbag during the apocalypse. The conservative estimate of their value was over 100 million.
There are also the two treasure chests left by the original owner's mother; selling them could bring in at least a billion dollars.
She currently has over 24,600 yuan in cash, which is enough for her to buy three or four nice courtyard houses in Beijing in a few years, even if she does nothing for the next few years.
In the late 1970s, a decent courtyard house in Beijing could be bought for only two or three thousand yuan, while a larger, well-preserved one would cost around ten thousand. A four-courtyard house would cost at most fifteen thousand. The amount of money she had was more than enough for her to buy three or four nice courtyard houses.
So she didn't care whether Su Lu was rich or not, nor did she care whether he could support her. She was willing to support him, and she was even looking forward to it.
Isn't raising a puppy or a wolfhound a dream for every rich woman?
She too!
"Ahem, Grandma, actually, the biggest reason I married him is... because he's good-looking."
If no other reason worked, and she couldn't find any merits in Su Lu, then this was the only option left.
The entire Qin family looked at Qin Xiaoxiao in astonishment.
How did she come up with such a compelling reason?
"That won't work either."
Qin Feng was exasperated and objected again.
Ma Dahua firmly supported her husband, saying, "Your uncle is right, no, what's the use of just being good-looking?"
Qin Xiaoxiao gave up and calmly replied, "I can eat two more bowls of rice."
Ma Dahua was defeated.
Qin Ye sneered, "We can't even afford to eat, where are we going to get a couple more bowls of food?"
"You can come back for dinner, bro, you're not going to kick me out, are you? How could you do that?"
Qin Ye was speechless.
Damn! He couldn't bear it.
Seeing that his wife and son had both lost, Qin Feng quickly said, "He can't earn work points to support you."
Qin Xiaoxiao took a deep breath. "He's good-looking."
Qin Feng rolled his eyes in anger and pointed a trembling finger at Qin Xiaoxiao.
"His family is a complete mess, the whole family lives together. If you get married, you'll have to live with his family. Are you willing to do that?"
Grandma Qin took to the field again.
Qin Xiaoxiao smiled and looked at Old Mrs. Qin, "He's good-looking."
So I'm willing.
Grandma Qin understood, took a deep breath, glared at her, and turned away, ignoring her.
Seeing that everyone else was too angry to speak, Qin Aiguo said sternly, "That won't do either. If you insist on marrying him, then... then you have to come up with a reason that we won't object to. Just being good-looking isn't enough."
Qin Aiguo wanted to say that he would no longer acknowledge Qin Xiaoxiao, but he swallowed the words back.
The eldest granddaughter is already pitiful without her parents. If they abandon her, aren't they forcing her to die?
She's his own granddaughter, how could he bear to part with her?
Qin Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Master, as I said before, I want to find a husband. How about this, if he agrees, then I will marry him; if he doesn't agree, then I won't bring it up again."
Qin Aiguo suddenly looked up at Qin Xiaoxiao, his eyes filled with shock.
She really wants to find a husband!
But will the Su family agree?
It would be better if their family disagreed; he wasn't happy about his eldest granddaughter marrying Su Lu from their family!
Qin Aiguo narrowed his eyes, a cunning glint flashing in his sharp gaze.
"Alright, I agree. If he agrees to marry into my Qin family, I'll accept it for my son's sake. But if his family doesn't agree, then you should give up on marrying him and never mention it again."
He'll go to the Su family later and have a good talk with his younger brother.
Qin Xiaoxiao was unaware that Qin Aiguo was already preparing to have a good chat with the Su family patriarch. She smiled and narrowed her eyes, "Yes, let's do it that way."
If Su Lu doesn't agree, that's fine too. She's not ready to get married yet. If they're meant to be, they can talk about it later. If they're not, well, it would be a shame for his face!
But if he agrees, then she'll have to use all the love notes she's compiled, and she'll do whatever it takes to win Su Lu over and make him willingly spend the rest of his life with her.
Qin Xiaoxiao smiled like a little fox, and her eyebrows and eyes were exactly the same as Qin Aiguo's, which made Ma Dahua stare in astonishment.
