"Brother, you know what kind of girl Shen San is like. She coughs every three steps and gasps every five steps. She needs someone to support her when she goes up a slope or down a hill. She is always sick, and she has to bring large bags of medicine to her home every few days. Who can afford to support such a living ancestor?!" Su Changhe's face was full of grievance.
Not to mention ordinary people like them, even those who eat commercial grain probably can't afford it.
Seeing that the anger on his eldest brother's face seemed to have dissipated a little, Su Changhe continued, "I have already discussed with the child's mother that even if the engagement is cancelled, we will still help our fellow villagers in the future."
"Is this what Zijie meant?" Su Changjiang looked at Su Changhe coldly, speechless.
Did he really think that he, as the eldest brother, was unaware of the little things he and Accountant Xu did in private? After decades of being brothers, how could he not know the little thoughts in his second brother's heart?
Su Changhe's eyes flashed and he was about to nod.
The courtyard door was pushed open forcefully from the outside, and Su Zijie, dressed in a blue work suit, walked in sweating profusely.
"Zijie, why are you back?" Su Changhe stood up in surprise.
There are only a few vacancies for regular workers in the machinery factory each year, and now is a critical moment...
"How could I not come back for such a big thing as breaking off the engagement?" Su Zijie frowned and looked at Su Changhe. Maybe he was in too much of a hurry, his blue work clothes were soaked with sweat, and he looked like he had just been fished out of the river.
"The relatives have already withdrawn, and Third Miss Shen also nodded in front of everyone." Since his son already knew it, Su Changhe no longer hid it.
As a father, he knew a little about his son's feelings for the sickly girl, but just because of Shen Zhihuan's sickly appearance, he couldn't let her enter his Su family.
He doesn't have that much spare money to keep a medicine jar.
Others would marry a free laborer as their daughter-in-law, so why should he marry a sickly girl who can't work and can't be beaten or scolded? !
"I don't agree to cancel the engagement. I will go talk to Aunt Li tomorrow. When Zhihuan turns 18 next year, I will get the marriage certificate with her." Su Zijie said with a sullen face, turned around and walked out of the courtyard, going straight back to the house next door.
Su Changjiang sighed and shook his head, then stood up and prepared to close the door. A dark shadow flashed in and closed the gate first.
"How many days of vacation are left?" Su Changjiang sat back down, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.
My daughter-in-law gave me many instructions before going to bed.
"Leaving the day after tomorrow, is there something going on?" Su Ziyu raised his eyebrows, feeling that it was not a good thing.
"Your mother and sister-in-law have found a few girls for you, and they want you to take some time to go and see them." Su Changjiang went straight to the point.
He will be 25 after the Chinese New Year, but he is not worried at all. In the village, everyone his age has many boys and girls running around.
"Busy!" Su Ziyu frowned.
Every time I come back from vacation, the topic of blind dates cannot be avoided.
Su Changjiang took a puff of his cigarette and looked up at Su Ziyu, who was obviously getting impatient. "Your sister-in-law's cousin is fair-skinned, good-tempered, speaks softly, and is nimble. Your mother and I think she's good. How about asking your sister-in-law to go there tomorrow and bring her back for you to take a look at first. If you think she's good, we can..."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"I know what's going on in my life, so don't worry about it." Su Ziyu said this and left.
Before he entered the house, a scream came from the yard next door, followed by a burst of crying and wailing...
