Chapter 183 The Marriage is Set
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.
No matter how unwilling Qin Aiguo and his grandmother were, they couldn't stop Qin Xiaoxiao's decision. So when Wan Guihua and Aunt Liu came to propose marriage, they all had gloomy faces and no smiles at all.
Qin Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, stood smiling in the corner of the room, watching everyone with an air of indifference.
Wan Guihua looked embarrassed and hesitated several times before finally tugging at Aunt Liu's clothes, signaling her to speak first.
Aunt Liu had no choice but to speak up, having been asked to do so.
"Uncle Qin, Aunt Qin, Captain Qin, Sister Da Hua, you must know that Su Lu has taken a liking to our Xiao Xiao, this..."
So, what are your opinions on this matter?
"Well, I was also entrusted by the Su family to act as matchmaker, but I'm not like those heartless bastards outside. We won't force you. If you and Xiaoxiao don't agree, then just pretend I wasn't here today."
Wan Guihua almost fainted from anger after hearing what Aunt Liu said.
Well, I begged you to mediate, and you immediately showed favoritism to the Qin family. It's over before it even started. Why don't you say a few good words for our Su Lu?
Grandma Qin was speechless after hearing this, but her resentment towards Aunt Liu lessened, and she even found Aunt Liu quite adorable.
Seeing that the Qin family remained silent, Aunt Liu cautiously continued, "How about we go back?"
Wan Guihua didn't bother to hide it anymore, giving Aunt Liu a big eye roll, "Auntie, is this how you talk about marriage? I invited you here to propose, not to cause trouble."
"We haven't even done anything yet, and you're already backing down? Is this how you help someone?"
Aunt Liu awkwardly touched her nose and muttered, "It's all because your Su Lu is no good enough for Xiao Xiao. I think the two children are not suitable. No wonder the Qin family would agree."
Wan Guihua sat next to Aunt Liu. While others couldn't hear clearly, she heard it all perfectly.
Wan Guihua was so angry she almost fell backward, and she really wanted to hit him with a hammer.
She rolled her eyes at Aunt Liu, thinking that she had wasted her time hiring her and that she would have to come herself.
Wan Guihua smiled and looked at Qin Aiguo, "Uncle Qin, given the relationship between our two families, I won't beat around the bush. To be honest, even if Xiaoxiao were my daughter, I wouldn't want to marry her off to my Su Lu."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu and the Qin family looked at her in surprise.
Aunt Liu: You were just angry that I was complaining about your son Su Lu, but in less than a minute, you, as his mother, are complaining about him even more than I am. How come?
The Qin family: Wasn't this a marriage proposal? It looks like they're going to break it off.
Qin Xiaoxiao: Her future mother-in-law is a very down-to-earth person, and we can get along well.
Wan Guihua immediately regretted what she said, feeling that she might have ruined her son's important plans. But the words were already out in the open, and she could only grit her teeth and continue speaking.
"Uncle, Aunt, actually my Su Lu is really a good child."
Over the years, my husband Su Lu has taken care of everything, both inside and outside the home. If it weren't for him, our Su family wouldn't be living such a comfortable life.
At this point, Aunt Liu and the Qin family understood that Su Lu was not as simple as he seemed on the surface, and that he had ways of making money.
The Qin family members were unfazed, but Aunt Liu was momentarily shocked. She quickly concealed the surprise in her eyes and listened attentively to what Wan Guihua had to say.
“My Su Lu doesn’t work in the fields much and earns few work points. In your eyes, he probably can’t support Xiao Xiao, and Xiao Xiao will suffer if she stays with him.”
Don't worry about that. With his father and me here, we will never let Xiaoxiao suffer with us.
Our family split up a while ago; we lived with Su Lu, as my uncle and aunt both know.
I can guarantee that once they're married, they'll go out and live their own lives. We won't interfere. As long as we're still able-bodied, we'll never trouble Su Lu and Xiao Xiao.
To show her sincerity, Wan Guihua raised her right hand as if making a vow.
Qin Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow, narrowed her eyes slightly, and a smile flashed in her eyes.
So far, she is satisfied with her mother-in-law, and it's truly not easy to have achieved this.
"In addition, Su Lu told us that Xiao Xiao said before that she would never get married in this life, but only take in a son-in-law. Su Lu and Su Lu agree to this, and we also agree to him becoming a son-in-law. However... could we discuss whether one of Xiao Xiao's children in the future would have the surname Su?"
We have no other intentions, nor do we want Xiaoxiao to have many children, and we certainly don't have any preference for sons over daughters. We wouldn't mind if the girl's surname was Su.
When Wan Guihua said this, her tone was clearly humble and pleading, which made people's noses tingle with emotion.
Qin Xiaoxiao never expected that Wan Guihua would bring up the matter of marrying into the family, nor did she expect that the Su family would be willing to let Su Lu become a live-in son-in-law.
Isn't he the youngest son? Aunt Wan and the old lady of the Su family dote on Su Lu just like her grandmother dotes on her. How could they bear to part with him?
Wan Guihua sighed, "I understand that you have doubts. Actually, it's not hard to explain. I have given birth to four sons and have grandsons. I have done right by the Su family. As for Su Lu, I just want him to be happy and carefree for the rest of his life."
Wan Guihua revealed her true thoughts, which put Qin Xiaoxiao at ease.
She was genuinely afraid that the Su family wasn't as simple as they seemed, and that they were also after her money. After all, that sum of money wasn't a small amount, and once greed took hold, what wouldn't they do?
It seems she overthought things, assuming people were too complicated and malicious. As things stand, the Su family is doing quite well.
Qin Aiguo and Old Mrs. Qin exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with helplessness.
It seems they have no more excuses to object to this marriage; their eldest granddaughter is definitely going to marry that Su Lu.
Qin Aiguo lit a cigarette in frustration, his brows furrowed.
No one spoke in the room, and even Qin Xiaoxiao didn't dare to provoke Qin Aiguo at this moment.
After a long while, just when Wan Guihua thought the Qin family wouldn't agree to this, Qin Aiguo finally spoke up.
“I can agree to this marriage, and Su Lu doesn’t have to marry into the family. However, the first boy Xiao Xiao has must take the surname Qin, and the rest, regardless of gender, can take the surname Su.”
The situation took an unexpected turn, and Wan Guihua was overjoyed. She couldn't help but stand up and look at Qin Aiguo.
"Uncle."
Qin Aiguo waved his hand, stopping Wan Guihua from continuing.
"Furthermore, Su Lu and Xiao Xiao must move out of the old Su family home after they get married, and we must provide them with another house, otherwise I will not agree."
The Su family is too chaotic, and Zhiyuan is too soft-hearted. If he continues to get involved with the Su family, his eldest granddaughter will have a very difficult time in the future. He must clear the obstacles for his eldest granddaughter.
