391: The twists and turns of marriage, Sanlang helps out

Shen Zhu cried non-stop at home. At first, she tried to suppress her voice, looking pitiful and tearful, even more attractive than when she smiled. But later, when she saw that her parents remained silent, she became anxious and cried louder and louder, and finally she burst into wail, completely losing her usual gentle and docile appearance.

No one from the Shen family's eldest branch was at home today. The two adults went to work in the workshop, and Dalang and Erlang followed them. Chunlan and Chunxiang went to the second aunt's house with Chunyue and others. When they got there, it was convenient for them to do their own work, such as embroidering flowers and weaving silk. The things were always kept by Shen Zigui, and when they made a lot, Shen Zigui would take them and sell them, so that they could save some pocket money.

Now only the old couple of the Shen family, Shen Zhu, and people from the third branch are left in the old house.

Shen Zhu cried in front of the old couple of the Shen family. The people from the third room tried to persuade her, especially Sun, who tried very hard to persuade her, as if she felt sorry for Shen Zhu. But she did not help Shen Zhu to ask the old couple of the Shen family to cancel the marriage. She was very smart and would not bring up such a matter. She thought that if the marriage was really cancelled in the future, and Shen Zhu was fickle and regretted it again, she would be a bad person, not to mention that her parents-in-law would blame her.

"Okay! Stop crying! If you want to cry, go to your room!"

Shen Youfu became impatient after listening to this, and looked at Shen Zhu with a frown, thinking that this daughter was really giving him a headache.

"Look at you. We found Song Dashan for you, but you thought he was poor and incompetent, so you tried to break off the engagement with him. Now he's a policeman, so he's valued by the county magistrate, and maybe he'll be the head of the police in the future. Then you fell in love with Mr. Qian, and tried every means to marry him. We also shamelessly asked for this marriage for you. But now you don't want to get married anymore! What do you want?"

Shen Zhang was also sighing, but she still felt sorry for her daughter, so she tried to persuade Shen Youfu to calm down.

Shen Zhu wiped her tears with a handkerchief and sobbed, "I do want to get married, but isn't he a cripple now? Dad and Mom, do you want me to marry a man like that? Wouldn't my life be ruined? Dad, can you really bear to see your daughter live such a miserable life? You saw how miserable my elder sister was when she married a man like that. Do you want me to be like her?"

Shen Youfu snorted, "Your elder sister married willingly, and you were willing before, too, but now you don't want to get married. How dare you mention her? I wish you had her determination to stick to one path until the end!"

"But, Dad, you have already promised to cancel this marriage. This marriage is not good for me, nor for our family. It is shameful for you two elders. It is shameful for my little brother to have such a brother-in-law!"

"Do you think it's not embarrassing for Zi Ju to have a sister like you who has broken off engagements twice? Besides, Qian Guang is lame, but he is still a man after all, and his family is rich. You were engaged before he became lame. It's not too embarrassing to marry him. It's better than breaking off engagement just because you heard what he said."

Shen Youfu said firmly that he thought Dazhu's wife was a bad person, but what she said just now made sense. Compared with not canceling the marriage, it would be better not to cancel it. At least it would be good for his son's reputation and the Shen family's reputation. It can be said that the Shen family values ​​credit.

When Shen Zhu heard this, she immediately knew that her father was afraid that she would affect the family and her younger brother. They had agreed to her breaking off the engagement because they were afraid of affecting her younger brother, but it was obvious that if she didn't marry Qian Guang, she would have a worse reputation. That's why her father didn't allow her to break off the engagement again!

Shen Zhu felt hopeless. If her father didn't agree, would she have no choice but to get married? She looked at Shen Zhang, but found that she was there with her head down. Without looking at her, she called her mother. Shen Zhang just sighed softly but didn't say anything. She knew that her mother and her father had the same idea.

Sanlang stood aside for a long time, and then said: "Master, why don't you cancel this marriage for my aunt? My aunt is pretty, and my uncle will be a high-ranking official. He will definitely find a good man for her, and a high-ranking official at that time. Let my aunt be the official's wife. When she enjoys the happiness, we can enjoy it with her!"

"What are you talking about, little kid?! Stand aside!"

Shen Ziping hit Sanlang on the head and scolded him, trying to pull him to the back.

Sanlang struggled hard to escape from Shen Ziping's hand, hid to Shen Zhu's side and said: "How could I say anything nonsense?! I said the truth. Mr. Qian is now a cripple, how can he be worthy of my aunt? I don't want a cripple as my uncle. I want a high-ranking official to be my uncle!"

"Sanlang! Aunt's good nephew!"

Shen Zhu immediately called San Lang and looked at him with emotion, but she was thinking in her heart, why did this kid wait until she was about to cry to death before speaking? And the third brother and his wife all said useless things. She didn't need them to persuade her, she wanted them to help persuade her parents to cancel the engagement!

When Sanlang saw Shen Zhu saw that he was on her side, he thought to himself, if his aunt married a good family in the future, wouldn't she help him find a good job? At least she could help him say something good in front of his uncle! His uncle had the best relationship with his aunt.

Shen Youfu glared at Sanlang and scolded him, "What do you know, kid! If people knew that your aunt had called off two marriage proposals, she would have a hard time, and even your uncle would be implicated! Just stay away if you don't know anything! Third brother, keep an eye on your son. He always gets into trouble. What will happen to him when he grows up? Don't forget that your fifth brother will be an official in the future, so his reputation is important!"

Shen Ziping responded quickly, glared at Sanlang, and wanted to pull him back.

Sanlang jumped aside flexibly and said to Shen Youfu, "Grandpa, why do you listen to what that nagging woman from Dazhu's family says? She just doesn't want our family to live a good life. Don't forget that our two families were still arguing before that! So what if my aunt broke off the engagement? Not to mention twice, even if she got married twenty times, it would be fine! When my uncle becomes an official, he will definitely not live here, and the good family he finds for my aunt will definitely not live here. When we are thousands of miles away, who will know about my aunt's affairs?"

Sun also said at this time: "Sanlang is right. When the time comes, Zhu'er will be with my fifth brother, and no one will know that she is here with us. The engagement and wedding will all be held outside. Let my fifth brother find those wealthy families. As long as my parents and my family go there, who will come to our rural place? Those rich and powerful people are all busy, and they will go to good places, not here."

Shen Youfu's expression relaxed.

At this time, Shen Zhang was also cursing herself in her heart for being so angry with Old Lady Li that her usually quick-witted mind was somewhat confused. After Dazhu's wife said that, she actually took this as a big deal. Her face also improved a little, thinking that if she could help her daughter marry better without affecting her son's future, that would naturally be the best.

"What if you find out?"

Shen Youfu suddenly said something else. He was still worried. His son's future was what he cared about most.

Sun said, "Dad, if that happens, it will all depend on Zhu'er. She is so smart, can't she coax someone?"

Shen Zhu said immediately: "Dad, Mom, don't worry. If I marry into a good family, I will definitely remember my brother, my parents, and my family! I will never let anyone know about these things! Even if they know, I will never let my husband's family blame me! I have the confidence that I can take care of my husband and his family. Don't worry, Dad and Mom! Just cancel the marriage with the Qian family!"

Shen Zhang said at the side: "Old man, just obey Zhu'er!"

Shen Youfu glanced at Shen Zhu and said, "If we talk about marriage again, there will never be such a thing as breaking off an engagement. By then, you must marry me even if you have to die! You must die in that family!"

Shen Zhu nodded immediately. She thought that it would be right to ask the young man to help her find a good marriage when the time comes!

Shen Zhu's marriage was finalized after many twists and turns, and now after many twists and turns again, it has been decided to cancel. It can be imagined that if one really wants to go to the Qian family to cancel the engagement, there will be many more twists and turns to succeed.

Shen Youfu felt a headache when he thought about going to the Qian family to break off the engagement. This was the Qian family, not just an ordinary small family. They had forced him to marry their daughter, and now they wanted to break off the engagement after hearing that his son was lame. Even if the Qian family didn't take action, they wouldn't be nice to him.

Shen Zhang said: "If you want to cancel the engagement, you have to do it early, and you can't wait until Zi Ju comes back."

Shen Zhang thought that if Shen Ziju really passed the imperial examination, it would be more difficult to cancel the engagement, and it would also affect her son. Others would say that their son of the Shen family had become too picky after passing the imperial examination and looked down on the lame son of the Qian family. If she withdrew early now, there would be other explanations.

Sanlang said, "Go to the Qian family and accuse them of cheating on their marriage. They knew that Mr. Qian was lame, but they still wanted to marry my aunt. If their family doesn't want to have their reputation ruined, they have to agree to cancel the engagement!"

Shen Youfu and his friends thought that this was the only way they could do it, as it was the only way to make their family's reputation better.

"But this will only make our relationship with the Qian family even worse. That's the Qian family. Even if Young Master Qian is disabled, the Qian family's status is still there. If this continues, it won't be good for my fifth brother, right?"

Sun said at this time.

Shen Zhu looked at Sun with stern eyes, wondering why her third sister-in-law said all this. What if her parents asked her to get married again after she said this?

"Zhu'er, don't misunderstand me. I'm not asking you to marry Mr. Qian."

When Sun saw Shen Zhu glaring at her, she hurried to comfort her. She didn't want to offend her sister-in-law. She thought that no matter who she married in the future, he would have to live a better life than their family. She had another wishful thinking.

Give Sanlang some roles. Shen Zhu needs to think carefully about the family she should marry. Should she marry someone far away in the capital or in the vicinity? Think again. Because originally they wanted her to marry Qian Guang, but her family didn't want to. After the outline was changed, her future is still uncertain. I'll continue writing.
