Chapter 60 Which family with the surname Xu?
Xu Qingye was silent for a long time. "It's not that I don't want to, but I'm afraid that I'll make things difficult for you. After all, you've already called off an engagement once."
Before this, he had indeed never thought about anything related to getting married.
But if this person is Song Yuntang, at least he doesn't reject it.
The only concern is the age difference between them. She is much younger than me. It would be pitiful if I die early and leave her alone in the world.
Song Yuntang shook his head. "I don't feel wronged. There is a saying that goes "A lot of debts don't weigh you down." I've already called off an engagement once, so calling it off again won't make any difference to me. So, before you get married, if Brother Xu meets a girl you really like, you must tell me. I will sincerely bless you both."
Xu Qingye looked at her, "What are your plans for engagement?"
Now that the engagement has been finalized, he has to consider her reputation, and naturally there won't be any other girls around him, unless she herself asks to cancel the engagement.
Song Yuntang thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't need to be too grand. Just a token of appreciation is enough. After all, no one knows what will happen in the future. Also..." She looked at Xu Qingye and said, "I don't want to get married too soon."
"OK."
Song Yuntang's face was full of joy. "Brother Xu, have you agreed?"
Xu Qingye nodded and said, "I will send you back to Rongshu Village later. I will go back to Lushan Village and tell my parents about your intentions. I will ask them to find a matchmaker to come to your house and propose marriage as soon as possible."
Song Yuntang looked at him, "Will they agree?"
Xu Qingye nodded, "Yes."
"I have broken off an engagement and my reputation is not very good." Song Yuntang said.
Xu Qingye looked in her direction and said with a smile, "I'm old, and it's not easy to meet a girl who is willing to marry me."
Both of them laughed.
When he arrived at the entrance of Rongshu Village, Xu Qingye did not enter the village. Instead, he watched Song Yuntang's figure disappear in the village before turning around and leaving.
It was already late afternoon when Song Yuntang got home.
Seeing her coming back alone, Song Jinbao was surprised.
"Tang'er, why are you back alone? Didn't the eldest master of the Lin family say that he would personally send you back?"
Song Yuntang just said, "I didn't inform him when I left, and I went back on my own. Where's my brother?"
Song Jinbao said "oh".
"Your elder brother went to the fields after he fermented the soybeans."
Zhao Qiao'e put down the sewing basket in her hand and walked out of the room.
"Tang'er, are you okay?"
After Song Jinbao and his son came back, she heard about Wu Wei's situation and was worried that Song Yuntang would be in a bad mood because of it.
When I saw her expression when she came back just now, it looked like she was worried, which made me even more worried.
"I'm fine."
Song Yuntang waved his hand nonchalantly and continued walking towards his room. Then he seemed to think of something and looked back at Song Jinbao and his wife.
"By the way, someone should come to propose marriage in the next few days. If it's a family with the surname Xu, you should agree to it."
She often goes to town during this period, so if she is not at home, she will not delay the Xu family's affairs.
After saying that, he went straight back into the house.
Song Jinbao and Zhao Qiao'e were left looking at each other in bewilderment. Liu Xiangyun, who heard the sound of the wind, also ran out of the room. Even Song Chengzhi and Song Chengliang, who were reading and practicing calligraphy in the room, came to the door.
Song Jinbao looked at his son and daughter-in-law who suddenly appeared, and pulled Zhao Qiao'e aside. "What's going on? Matchmaker Zhou arranged another marriage for Tang'er so quickly?"
Zhao Qiao'e was also confused, "I don't know either, he didn't tell me."
"It wasn't introduced by Matchmaker Zhou?" Song Jinbao was a little surprised. "Which Xu family is that? I'll go ask around first."
"How would I know? What Tang'er said just now is incoherent." Zhao Qiao'e took a deep breath, came to the door of Song Yuntang's room, and asked in the most gentle tone possible, "Tang'er, which Xu family are you talking about?"
"The Xu family in Lushan Village." Song Yuntang said.
"Lushan Village?" Zhao Qiao'e was a little surprised. "Lushan Village is not as far away as Dongming Village, but there are not many people in that village, and it is in the mountains. I have never heard of any family with a man of marriageable age."
Song Yuntang turned his head to look at her, "Isn't that Mr. Xu?"
Zhao Qiao'e didn't know that the person Song Yuntang was going to marry was Xu Qingye, and she was still smiling and saying, "Mr. Xu is talented, but he is already 23 years old, and he has been ill for so many years. Although ordinary girls respect him, few would consider him for marriage."
Song Yuntang pursed his lips and looked at her quietly.
"What if... the person I want to be engaged to is Mr. Xu?"
Zhao Qiao'e still didn't believe it, she waved at Song Yuntang.
"Tang'er, stop joking with your mother. Mr. Xu is seven years older than you. If Mr. Xu wants to get married, with his talent and family background, there are girls willing to marry him. Even if you want to, he won't be willing to drag you down."
Song Yuntang couldn't help but ask, "Does Mr. Xu have a good family background?"
Zhao Qiao'e nodded, "I heard that his family lives in a blue brick and tile house, which is better than ours after all."
Song Yuntang understood and smiled faintly, "It seems like I took advantage of him." She said, turning over in bed, "Mom, let me rest for a while. I'm tired after tossing around outside all day."
Seeing this, Zhao Qiao'e still had questions to ask, but seeing how tired she was, she still closed the door.
Several people came into the main room, and Song Jinbao looked a little serious.
"What did she say?"
Zhao Qiao'e was a little uncertain, "I don't know if it's true or not, she said it was the Xu family where Mr. Xu was."
Liu Xiangyun covered her mouth in shock, "Mr. Xu is much older than Tang'er!"
Song Chengzhi and Song Chengliang also looked at each other.
The image of Mr. Xu in their hearts is taller than that of their own father, and they just cannot connect their sister with Mr. Xu.
Song Jinbao was stunned. "No way? I didn't meet Mr. Xu in town today. Could it be that he was provoked by something at the Lin family?"
Zhao Qiao'e also frowned, "It sounds like it's half true and half false to me, but if it's true..."
She glanced at her two sons and said, "It's not that I think Mr. Xu is a bad person, it's just that the age difference is too big, and Mr. Xu is in poor health. What if...what about Tang'er's second half of life?"
"Isn't my sister treating Mr. Xu?" Song Chengzhi said.
"Mr. Xu has been ill for five years. He has consulted many doctors but they all said that he cannot be cured. Even if he is cured by your sister now, there will inevitably be sequelae. Besides, he has been taking medicine for so many years. Who knows if his health has been damaged?"
If your health is ruined and you can't get pregnant after you get married, people won't think it's the man's problem but will only look for the fault on the woman.
Zhao Qiao'e sighed in worry.
"I thought she had grown sensible after what happened with the Huang family, but I didn't expect she would still act like this."
