Chapter 521, Selling Yourself
There was silence in the room for a while, and Daohua asked again, "Has your father told Anxi about this?"
Sun Changze nodded. "My father liked An Xi's opera and couldn't bear to see him being bullied in the troupe. So he spoke to him privately, wanting him to go back and recognize his family and leave the troupe. But An Xi said my father was wrong."
"One time, my father saw Anxi being raped by a man."
"Ahem~"
Xiao Yeyang interrupted Sun Changze with a cough and glared at Sun Changze with dissatisfaction.
Sun Changze immediately realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said and smiled apologetically.
Dong Yuanyao: "What happened next?"
Sun Changze reorganized his words: "Later, my father saw that An Xi was having a really hard time, so when he went north again, he found An Xi's father and told him about An Xi's situation."
"However, An Xi's father said indifferently that my father had made a mistake and that his legitimate son had died long ago."
"Neither side wanted to admit it, and my father couldn't either, so the matter was never mentioned again."
Dong Yuanyao immediately snorted coldly, "How could there be such a cruel father in this world? He is simply not worthy of being a father."
Daohua sneered, "Conflicts between wives and concubines are the root of family chaos, but most men, for the sake of their own pleasure, don't care about these things at all. They even wishfully believe that their wives and concubines will live in harmony and that their children will love each other. I really don't know if they are truly stupid or just pretending to be stupid."
Dong Yuanyao: "Of course they are pretending. They benefited from it, so they don't care about the life and death of women and children. After all, if they are gone, they can just marry again and have another child."
Daohua: "Anxi's father didn't want to acknowledge him. First, he felt he had lost face, and second, he was afraid that after Anxi returned, he would fight with his other sons for the family property, causing family conflicts. So he simply regarded this son as dead."
Seeing Daohua and Dong Yuanyao's angry expressions, Xiao Yeyang and Sun Changze were very considerate and remained silent without saying a word.
Both of them had a strong feeling that if they responded at this time, they would definitely be scolded.
After a while, Xiao Yeyang saw that Daohua was no longer so angry, so he poured her another cup of tea and said, "Have a sip of tea to moisten your throat."
Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang, didn't take the tea, and snorted, "There are few good men in this world."
Seeing that he still couldn't escape being scolded, Xiao Yeyang took back the teacup with some embarrassment.
Dong Yuanyao agreed with her expression, "Exactly. Except for those from poor families, anyone with a bit of power has three wives and four concubines. There are almost no men who are devoted to their wives. If they don't favor a concubine over their wife, then they are the best."
At this time, Sun Changze suddenly said: "No, my family cannot take concubines."
Dong Yuanyao asked back, "Is your family rich?"
Sun Changze: "It's okay. My family has more than ten cargo ships and runs some small businesses. We can get by. My family has a rule that prohibits taking concubines, unless the wife is thirty years old and still has no children."
Daohua looked at Sun Changze in surprise: "Your family rules are pretty good."
Sun Changze's face lit up with pride. "That's right. My father said that having too many children in a family will easily lead to quarrels and unfairness. Especially if the children are not born to the same mother, there will be more conflicts, which is not conducive to family unity and prosperity. Therefore, the Sun family is not allowed to take concubines. Otherwise, they will be expelled from the family."
"Because of this family rule, our family is very popular in the local area. Everyone wants to marry their daughters to us. I'm eighteen years old this year, and my family is arranging a marriage for me. The door to our house is almost trampled down by matchmakers."
After hearing this, Daohua and Dong Yuanyao looked at each other, both speechless, and then they both said "tsk" to Sun Changze.
Dong Yuanyao even curled her lips: "You are so conceited, do you really think you are so popular?" However, the fact that he does not take concubines is really attractive.
Sun Changze thought the two of them didn't believe him, so he quickly explained, "Really, I'm really popular. I'm a good swimmer, I'm smart, and I'm also pretty good at martial arts. I've been leading my family on a boat trip since the year before last, and I can bring money back home every year."
As he said this, he looked at Xiao Yeyang with a smile.
"Thanks to Mr. Xiao's appreciation, I started selling colored glaze last year and earned even more money. I am indeed a man worthy of entrusting your life to. Girls, marry me and I guarantee you will have a good life."
"Puff~"
Daohua couldn't help it and the tea in her mouth sprayed out.
Dong Yuanyao was also a little dumbfounded. She had never seen anyone with such a thick skin.
Xiao Yeyang, who was sprayed with tea, breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the rice flowers with a headache, and gave Sun Changze a look that was difficult to describe.
This guy is indeed worthy of being a canal transport agent. He is really decisive when promoting himself.
But maybe he chose the wrong place to promote his product?
When Daohua saw that Xiao Yeyang was scolded by her, she quickly said, "I'm sorry, you can't blame me, blame him." After that, she pointed at Sun Changze.
Xiao Yeyang grabbed her handkerchief and started wiping himself.
Dong Yuanyao looked at Sun Changze speechlessly: "Before today, I always thought you were a..."
Sun Changze: "What is it?"
Dong Yuanyao shook her head and said, "Nothing!" Then she turned around and ignored him.
Sun Changze scratched the back of his head awkwardly. He seemed to have talked too much again.
Xiao Yeyang wiped the tea off his face and body, then stood up. He originally went upstairs to talk more with Daohua, but Daohua's attention was all attracted by Sun Changze, which made him very unhappy.
"Come on, I'll take you to see the new Liuli."
There was also Liuli on the second floor, so Xiao Yeyang didn't bring anyone downstairs.
Daohua looked at the customers coming in and out downstairs and said with a smile, "Business here is pretty good."
Xiao Yeyang: "This is the provincial capital, there are a lot of people, there are more wealthy people, so business will naturally be better. There are several glass lotus lanterns in the store, I will take you to see them."
As they spoke, the two went to the corner of the hall where the glass lamps were placed.
Seeing Dong Yuanyao looking at a glass Buddha with little interest, Sun Changze asked curiously, "Miss Dong, why don't you go see the glass lanterns with Miss Yan?"
Dong Yuanyao glanced at Daohua and Xiao Yeyang who were talking and laughing, and glanced at Sun Changze.
She didn't want to be the "light bulb" that Daohua mentioned.
This Yan Yiyi really is a person who values women over friendship.
Looking at the pouting and somewhat angry Dong Yuanyao, Sun Changze couldn't take his eyes away. That glance just now was like a sharp arrow that pierced his heart straight into his heart. He couldn't pull it out and didn't want to.
On the other side, Daohua was looking at the glass lantern and saying, "That Sun Changze is really quite interesting."
Xiao Yeyang nodded. "That guy has a wild streak, a daring spirit. When we found the gold mine, before I could decide whether to let him go, he came to me and said he wanted to do glass business with me. He's bold, careful, and has a sharp tongue."
Daohua couldn't help laughing again: "He really knows how to promote himself. However, their family rules are really good."
Seeing the admiration in Daohua's eyes, Xiao Yeyang felt an impulse in his heart and said, "I don't have to take a concubine."
Daohua looked over and was silent for a while: "When you can make your own decisions, then you can say such things again."
Only when people are responsible for themselves and can be their own masters can they be responsible for others.
Xiao Yeyang frowned: "You don't believe me?"
Daohua turned around and smiled, "I believe it, but I also know that royal children like you often have to do things against their will."
Xiao Yeyang was silent for a moment. In the end, he still didn't believe him. He moved his lips as if to say something, but swallowed it back in the end.
Given his current situation, what he said is indeed not very convincing, and there is no point in saying more. Let's wait and see.
