The next day, when Su He returned home, before she could even say anything, her grandmother asked her about her blind date.
Su He smiled helplessly, "Grandma, don't worry, Aunt Xu is helping me choose a suitable candidate. We'll meet them when we get back."
Grandma Su was relieved. "Alright, Heya, remember to take a good look. Don't rush into a decision. Ask around after you've found someone you like."
Su He nodded, "Don't worry, Grandma, I know."
Then, fearing that she might continue, he quickly told her about Aunt Xu's situation.
Grandma Su listened thoughtfully.
"According to you, this is indeed a good opportunity, but I don't want our sons to become live-in sons-in-law."
Su He wasn't surprised. She could guess what the old lady was thinking. Although she was usually better to her, she was no worse to the other children in the family. She certainly didn't want the children she had raised with such difficulty to benefit someone else.
After all, Chef Zheng requested the signing of the contract because he didn't want his son-in-law to have too much involvement with the family, which would mean they couldn't contact each other anymore.
"However, I won't make this decision for your aunt and uncle. Let's ask them what they think."
So after dinner that evening, Grandma Su stopped everyone and said she had something to say. The family was a little surprised, and even Grandpa Su didn't know what she wanted to say.
Until she told her the news Su He had brought back.
"Heya has an opportunity to work in the city..."
"What? You got a job?"
Before Old Mrs. Su could finish speaking, Third Aunt exclaimed in surprise.
The others also seemed quite excited.
Grandma Su glared at her upon hearing this, "Why are you making such a fuss? Listen to me quietly!"
Hearing this, her family members didn't dare to ask any more questions, but they looked at her with eager eyes.
Seeing this, Grandma Su sighed and then told her what Chef Zheng had asked for.
For a moment, the Su family fell silent.
The eldest aunt glanced at the second son, Su Lan. The eldest son was already married, and the second son was 19, the perfect age. They should have been looking for a partner this year, but now that this happened, she was hesitant.
This son is usually very sensible. Although he doesn't talk much, he is reliable. She really doesn't want to give such a good son to someone else.
But he was also tempted by this rare job opportunity, so he was caught in a dilemma.
After hearing this, the eldest uncle thought for a moment and said, "We don't need this house anymore. Lanzi is a good child, and I don't want to wrong him. What do you think, Lanzi?"
Su Lan nodded after hearing this, "I'll listen to Dad."
Auntie breathed a sigh of relief when she heard him say that, and finally made up her mind. "Yes, our Lanzi is so good. He can live well even in the countryside. I'll find you a good wife when I get back."
Su Lan smiled sheepishly after hearing this. He knew what his parents were thinking. Although he also wanted to work in the city, the requirements were so many, and he had to sign a contract. In other words, taking the job meant giving up his family, and he couldn't bear to do that!
However, Su's mother wasn't so conflicted and directly said, "We don't want it either!"
Although Su's mother dared not mistreat her daughter under the pressure of Su's old lady, she was still patriarchal at heart. If it were a daughter to be given away, she would probably agree, but she couldn't bear to part with her son.
She only has two sons. She originally wanted to have another child after giving birth to Su Miao, but Old Mrs. Su wouldn't allow it.
Grandma Su was a wise old lady. Although in those days every family believed that having many children meant more blessings, she knew that having too many children would make the family poorer and poorer. In addition, childbirth was bad for a woman's health, so after her sons got married, they stipulated that each family could only have a maximum of four children and could not have any more.
Therefore, the Su family was one of the few families in the village with relatively few children.
To get back to the point, after Su's mother refused, neither Su's father nor Su Mu and Su Lin had any objections. Although Su's father didn't say much, he understood that he was also reluctant to give his son away. Su Mu didn't have any ideas, and Su Lin was still young, so it wasn't his turn.
On the other hand, the third aunt felt a little sorry for Su Dong, who was only 11 and not old enough. Otherwise, she would have definitely seized this good opportunity.
