Chapter 177 This marriage is a bit hot
"Oh, how come you have time to come to my house, elder sister? Please come in, please come in!" Old Mrs. Su warmly welcomed Gao.
Early in the morning, Gao came to the door carrying a bundle. Old Mrs. Su guessed that it was a thank-you gift.
"Old sister, it's all thanks to Mr. Su Erlang for saving my Chunhua that day!" Gao said, holding Mrs. Su's hand.
"You're too polite, elder sister. I will help anyone who meets you!" Old Mrs. Su said politely, her eyes narrowed into slits with a smile.
These days I've been looking forward to the Wang family coming to my house. I didn't do anything for the sake of saving someone, but at least they deserve a thank you.
After waiting for several days, the Yang family finally arrived.
"I don't have anything to show off. My Chunhua hurriedly made a cotton coat, but I wonder if it fits. The other day, Su Erlangjun tore up his cotton coat while trying to save my daughter."
Gao took out a brand new cotton coat and said, "Mr. Su Erlang, try it on and see if it fits you. If not, I'll take it back and have Chunhua make some alterations."
The Su brothers who were going out to work stayed behind.
"You're welcome, auntie! We're all from the same village, and saving people is our duty. Anyone who sees someone will help."
Su Laoer didn't expect the Yang family to be so grand, which made him blush.
"Come, try it!" Gao gave Su Laoer the cotton coat without giving him any time to speak.
"Aunt, there's really no need!" Su Laoer pushed it back hurriedly as if he had received a red-hot charcoal pill.
"Second Master Su, just take it, otherwise my Chunhua will be uneasy. She specifically told me to make sure you accept it! My daughter's workmanship is not very good, so please don't despise it, Second Master Su." Gao pushed the cotton coat back.
"This..." Su Laoer was in a dilemma.
If you accept it, you will be rewarded for saving people. If you don’t accept it, you will be letting people down. This was made overnight by people who endured the pain and discomfort.
"Second uncle, just accept it!" Su Ying came over to take a look. Isn't this the same cotton coat she wore that day?
I think my brain works quickly, why didn’t I react?
Relationships require give and take, and the Su family doesn't want anything in return, but the other party is so sincere, and they keep rejecting him, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
Accept it and show your gratitude.
If you feel it's too hot to handle, find an opportunity and send a return gift.
"In that case, thank you very much, aunt and Madam Wang Wu!" Only then did Su Lao Er accept it.
Go into the house and change into it, then come out and let Gao see if it fits.
"Well, not bad, not bad!" Su Laoer looked energetic in new clothes.
The brown cotton jacket fits well and makes the man look younger and more handsome.
Gao praised her daughter's ingenuity and dexterity.
That day, Yang Chunhua lay on Su Laoer's back and guessed Su Laoer's shoulder width and body size by intuition.
This top is just right, not too much, not too little.
"Mrs. Wang Wu is really skillful. The cotton coats she made fit me so well!" Old Mrs. Su praised with tact.
Su Laoer was reluctant to wear the new cotton coat, so he took it off and put it away, and changed into his original torn one.
Mrs. Du helped to cover the scratched area, and finally the cotton wool was no longer exposed.
"Thank you, auntie, and thank you, Madam Wang Wu!" Su Lao Er thanked them again, and then went to work with his brother.
Gao was not in a hurry to leave, but drank the honey water slowly.
Of course, Old Mrs. Su had to accompany him.
"Old sister, is Madam Wang Wu feeling better?" Old Mrs. Su couldn't just sit there and do nothing, so she had to find a topic.
"Much better, thanks to Ah Ying's prescription! It doesn't hurt much now. I changed the medicine, and it looks like the bone is healing well. I also received a cane, so it's much more convenient to go to the emergency room."
"Old sister is so blessed, all her children and grandchildren are capable people! Mr. Su is loyal and enthusiastic. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid..." Gao couldn't continue.
She was really scared. Her daughter had a miserable life. If she died in the wilderness, she didn't know if she would go crazy.
"No, no!" Old Mrs. Su smiled happily at the compliment.
When talking about my second son, I couldn't help but sigh, "Of my three children, the one I feel the most sorry for is the second one. I really shouldn't have..."
Old Mrs. Su couldn't say anything more. She had been a strong woman all her life, but the biggest mistake she made was letting her second son marry her cousin's daughter.
If only Xiao Qin was more obedient and clear-headed, she would be able to get by.
Unfortunately, Xiao Qin herself is not in a clear mind, and the girl she raised is even worse, brainless and lawless.
Staying at home would sooner or later cause greater trouble, so he had to be sent away.
It’s just a pity for the second son, who is now middle-aged and alone on a cold quilt.
The weather is getting cold, and no one has bought new winter clothes. If it weren't for the virtuous wives of the first and third wives who helped out, how miserable would the men and women in the second wife be?
A house is a mess without a woman!
"Old sister, is there any news about Mr. Su Erlang's wife?" Gao asked in a roundabout way.
"Alas! There has been no news since he was sent away. Whether he lives or dies is up to fate!" Old Mrs. Su sighed.
"Old sister, to be honest, it's not easy for a poor family like ours to make a name for ourselves! Back then, supporting our three children through school really cost us our lives! My husband died young from exhaustion.
It’s all my fault. I endured so many years of hardship, but I was soft-hearted for a moment and married a confused person. Otherwise, it would have been so nice to live in harmony!
Although she is my cousin, I shouldn't be cruel to her, but, sister, she is confused. I am really afraid that if she stays any longer, the Su family will be ruined!
I've never seen such an idiot who only cares about his own momentary pleasure and doesn't care about the lives of others!"
When Old Lady Su talked about this, her eyes also became red.
"Old sister, don't be sad. Life is getting better day by day. Good days are yet to come. Who wouldn't envy your Su family?" Gao comforted.
"I am an old woman who buries myself in the dirt up to my neck. I am like that whether I am good or bad. Poor Erlang! I have ruined him!
"The person I feel the most guilty towards is Erlang! If I die one day, I won't be able to face my deceased husband." Mrs. Su said sadly.
In ancient times, living over sixty was considered a long life. Old Mrs. Su passed away one day without anyone noticing.
"Old sister, just find another one for Mr. Su Erlang. Why worry so much?" Gao followed up with a tentative tone.
"Old sister, I really want to find another one, but Erlang won't let me. The people in this village were all once wealthy and powerful. How can we, the Su family, a humble family, dare to marry into such a family? A lean camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how poor it is, its roots are still there!"
"Old sister, we've come to this wild place, why bother about family background? Besides, Mr. Su Er is handsome and capable, I'm afraid there are many women who want to marry him!"
Gao's words came to her lips.
"Old sister, is there anyone suitable? If there is, I, an old woman, will come to you with such an old face to ask for Erlang's hand in marriage." How could Mrs. Su not understand?
"Old sister, let's not beat around the bush. What do you think of my Chunhua?" Seeing this, Gao stopped hiding her feelings.
"Madam Wang Wu?" Old Lady Su looked at Gao, her eyes twinkling. "It would be a wonderful story if it really came to pass. But, sister, would the Wang family be happy with it?"
Yang Chunhua was involved not only with the Yang and Su families, but also the Wang family, and only the old couple were left in the Wang family.
If the Wang family doesn't give in, it won't work, and people will accuse the Yang and Su families of bullying others by taking advantage of their power.
Yang Chunhua is a good woman, hardworking and gentle, and a good match for Erlang, but this marriage is a bit difficult.
