Chapter 53 This Summer Lotus is Not That Summer Lotus
The three-year-old child still can't even speak a complete sentence! Xia He, on the other hand, only thinks about her mother's home all day long. If there are any rare items, delicious food or drinks at home, she will move them all back to her mother's home without hesitation.
As time went by, because the child could not speak, everyone thought that Xia He's son was dumb! Xia He was disgusted by this and felt that it was too embarrassing to take such a "dumb" son out, so she finally ignored him completely.
Su Lao San's parents were so angry, but they couldn't do anything to Xia He. They beat her! Before they even touched her, she was already lying on the ground. Su Lao San's mother was an honest person, and she was helpless against Xia He's appearance. You said to scold her, and she did, but Xia He seemed to not hear it. Whatever you do, you still do it! She really had no way to deal with Xia He.
Yes, if there was a trick, Xia He would never have married into her family.
Xia He was able to marry Su Lao San because when Su Lao San returned home on vacation, Xia He from the next village saw him. She knew that her parents had always wanted to marry her to the town, but how could the town marry a country girl like her? Moreover, her parents asked for a high betrothal gift of fifty yuan.
The city dwellers who could afford the bride price were either old bachelors, almost as old as her father, or they were the sons of several brothers, and they wanted to share a wife. She didn't want to marry such a man.
When Xia He saw Su Lao San, she knew that her chance had come. As long as she seized this opportunity, she would not marry those old bachelors.
She wanted to marry this man, who was obviously from the army, had a promising future, and was also good-looking. Therefore, Su He was very satisfied with Su Lao San, so she went home and discussed it with Xia Lao Di and Xia Lao Ni, and then made up her mind.
Xia He started to act. There was a river between their village and Xiaosu Village. After discussing it with her parents on the first day, she and her niece waited by the river.
The next day, when Su Laosan passed by the river again, she pretended to fall into the water and began to shout for help. Sure enough, Su Laosan jumped into the water to save her. Just as he carried her to the shore, her little niece came with her parents and villagers.
When she saw Su Laosan holding her wet daughter, she refused to let him go and insisted that her daughter had lost her innocence and that Su Laosan should be held responsible.
Su Laosan was young after all, and didn't know what to do in the face of this situation. He tried to tell the other party that he had saved their daughter and did not want to ruin her innocence, but the other party kept making trouble and refused to listen.
The main point is, you hugged my daughter, and my daughter has lost her innocence. She will never be able to marry again. You have to be responsible. As for how to be responsible, it depends on whether you are a man. If you are a man, you marry my daughter. If you are not a man, then my daughter's innocence will be lost, and I can only let her drown to prove her innocence.
When Su Laosan heard this, he couldn't leave Xia He behind, so he could only go home and call his parents to discuss what to do.
Just as everyone was anxiously waiting, Su Laosan's parents finally arrived in a hurry.
At this time, Xia He's mother, Old Lady Xia, saw this and immediately started to cry out: "Oh my poor girl! What are you going to do now? You have suffered such a disaster and have been exposed by others. How are you going to live in the future?
I was about to talk about my in-laws, and I had already chosen a family and was just waiting to finalize the marriage. Who would have thought that something like this would happen! Oh, God, why are you so unfair! My poor daughter! "
Old Mrs. Xia cried and howled miserably, and at the same time, her shrewd eyes would occasionally steal glances at the changes in the expressions of Su Laosan's parents.
When he saw that Su Laosan's parents both had honest and simple looks, he couldn't help but feel happy and thought to himself: Hey, it looks like this marriage has hope!
Then, she cried even harder: "My precious daughter Xia He! You have broken my heart into pieces! This good marriage that I found with great difficulty has been ruined just like that! Your innocence has been ruined! Wuwuwu..."
When she was crying her heart out, Mrs. Xia suddenly seemed to notice the parents of Su Lao San standing beside her. She wiped her tears and said in surprise, "Oh my, it turns out that you two are the parents of this young man! Look at what has happened. My daughter has been taken away by your son and her innocence is gone. What do you two think we should do in this situation?"
After saying this, he looked at Su Laosan's parents with tears in his eyes, acting pitiful and waiting for them to come up with a solution.
Su Lao San's parents didn't agree with Xia He marrying into their family. The reason was that the two villages were not far apart, but they had heard about the things that happened in Xia He's family!
It is said that the Xia family specifically picked old bachelors in the city to marry Xia He, and asked for a dowry of fifty yuan!
Not to mention the high amount of the bride price, just the character of the Xia family was enough to make the two elders of the Su family feel intimidated and try to avoid them.
Speaking of the Xia family, they are truly "famous" in Xia Village, but the reputation that has spread is not a good one, but a notorious one!
The Xia family was a well-known rogue family in Xia Village, and the whole family was extremely lazy. Especially after the eldest daughter of the Xia family got married, she would bring some things back from her husband's family every few days to support her parents' family.
Even so, the Xia family still complained about how stingy and dishonest their eldest daughter's in-laws were. Later, the eldest daughter's in-laws finally couldn't stand it anymore and divorced her.
Less than two months after this poor woman returned to her parents' home, she became extremely thin. In the end, she was only worth ten dollars and was bought by a traveling merchant!
This matter has long been a hot topic and is known to everyone.
Therefore, Su Lao San's parents were unwilling to let their son marry Xia He. But didn't the Xia family want their son, who finally had a promising future, to marry Xia He?
The two elders of the Su family were immediately reluctant and firmly opposed their son to marry her. However, facing such a powerful Xia family, even though the Su family's parents argued with them, they were ultimately unable to change the other party's mind.
But for the sake of their son's bright future and happy life, Su's parents had to be tough this time! They were determined not to agree to this matter! !
