"Xiao San, what do you think?" Zhen felt that she still had to listen to San Zhuang's own thoughts.
"I have already declined." Sanzhuang lowered his head and said.
"You refused? Who are you kidding? If you didn't have any ideas before, why would Shopkeeper Xu come to the door with gifts?" Old Mrs. Bai pointed out the crux of the problem sharply.
"I had that idea before... later, later..." Sanzhuang Qiqi Ai Ai.
Bai Sanzhuang worked as an apprentice in a lacquerware shop for two years. He was appreciated by Shopkeeper Xu for his intelligence, diligence, and ability. Shopkeeper Xu has a difficult family life. He is over fifty and has only one daughter, who he loves like a ball in his eye. He didn't want his family property to fall into the hands of his clan members, so he wanted to find a son-in-law for his daughter.
After searching for these years, I found that Bai Sanzhuang was the most suitable candidate. The family is poor, has many brothers, and more importantly, he is a noble person, smart and business-minded. Bai Sanzhuang can rest assured that he can leave the shop and daughter to him.
Although my daughter is three years older than Bai San, so what, the female junior is holding gold bricks, right?
Shopkeeper Xu tested Bai Sanzhuang's tone.
Just as Zhen expected, Bai Sanzhuang was moved when he thought about his family's situation, Erlang's illness and his fourth brother's future. If he really becomes the son-in-law of the Xu family, he will help the Xu family take care of the shop, and the money for Erlang's medical treatment and the fourth brother's education will be provided.
He had met Miss Xu in the shop.
The skin is a bit dark, the figure is a bit strong, and the voice is loud. Although the temperament fostered by shopkeeper Xu is a bit arrogant, he is quite generous to his waiters. The dialogue with Bai Sanzhuang was especially good. It was cold and snowing heavily, and she quietly gave him a big thick quilt.
Bai Sanzhuang couldn't say whether he liked her or not.
I'm not qualified to choose.
There are so many waiters in Xu's shop, waiting in line to become their son-in-law.
Being valued by his employer and becoming a wife is the best way out for him to be a clerk.
From now on, it doesn't matter whether the child is a descendant of the Bai family or not. It doesn't matter if he can't enter the Bai family's ancestral graves after his death. As long as he can improve his family's life, it will be fine.
Besides, there are so many brothers in the Lao Bai family, including nephews and nephews. Without the Bai Sanzhuang lineage, the Lao Bai family will never be able to cut off its incense.
Bai Sanzhuang originally wanted to slowly discuss it with his grandma and parents, but shopkeeper Xu got a little impatient and came to the door as soon as he finished talking about Sanzhuang. As a result, he was disappointed.
Shopkeeper Xu didn't give up after being beaten out of the Bai family. He went to Bai Sanzhuang to reason with him privately, saying that marriage matters depend on the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. His mother's opinion is not important. It is normal for the old man to be confused for a while.
Bai Sanzhuang had the same idea as Shopkeeper Xu, but later he declined with some excuse.
Not because of Mrs. Bai's objection, not because he figured it out, but...
"Xiaosan, tell me the truth, did you do something to offend her? Otherwise, why would she have fallen in love with you if there were so many guys?" Bai Sanzhuang saw half of Bai Sanzhuang's explanation and swallowed the rest. When he has something to hide.
Neither Mrs. Bai nor Mrs. Zhen liked to hear this. Bai Banban received a pair of blank looks from his wife and daughter-in-law.
That's what I said.
The third child of the Bai family is good-looking, with thick eyebrows, handsome eyes, and a good figure. He can be picked out as a young man from all over the country. Moreover, he has a good brain and has read for several years. He does not have the weak manner of a scholar and can work neatly and methodically.
Among the apprentices in Xujiapu, Bai Sanzhuang is also very outstanding.
Why can't people like him anymore?
"Dad, it's nothing, don't dare to say such nonsense." Bai Sanzhuang's face flushed anxiously, and he waved his hands repeatedly.
A figure appeared in his mind, but it was not Miss Xu, but a figure holding up a big knife and chopping up a fattened pig.
"Dad, what you said is wrong. I know that my adopted son is not a lunatic who messes with girls." Mrs. Zhen came to Bai Sanzhuang's rescue.
"That's what I said." She misunderstood her third son, and Bai Banban felt a little embarrassed.
"How will people be happy if you take back Shopkeeper Xu?" Old Mrs. Bai asked.
Shopkeeper Xu came to the door, and maybe it was already confirmed in the shop, but Bai Sanzhuang refused for some reason, fearing that Miss Xu's face would not look good.
"I'm not very happy." Bai Sanzhuang replied honestly, "But shopkeeper Xu is not a stingy person, so he still allows me to continue working in the shop."
What Bai Sanzhuang didn't mention was that after he refused to get married, shopkeeper Xu, although he didn't make things difficult for him, was extremely unhappy. He said that he was not thinking well and had not been beaten by life, so he asked him to think carefully before making any plans.
It means that I haven't given up my plan to let him marry me yet.
"You don't have to worry, the worst I can do is leave the shop and find another place to go." Bai Sanzhuang changed his tone to a more relaxed tone, "As long as you have real ability, there is no place for you to gain a foothold."
After hearing what Bai Sanzhuang said, the couple Baibanban and Mrs. Bai stopped talking.
No matter how clever Bai Sanzhuang is, he cannot see through some problems due to his age. There are only so many shops in the whole town. Where can I make a living without Shopkeeper Xu’s shop? Unless you go further afield.
They really couldn't bear it.
At worst, he can go back to farm, and there are still a few acres of thin farmland at home. Like Bai Dazhuang, it would be nice to stay with his parents.
"...Xiaosan, our family is very poor, but we are not people who sell their children for glory. Don't pretend to sacrifice yourself to make our family successful. Your dead ancestors will not forgive you then."
Although Bai Sanzhuang clearly rejected Shopkeeper Xu's request to marry into the family, Mrs. Bai still warned him firmly.
"Nai, don't worry. It was me who was confused before. I have already figured it out. I am a descendant of the Bai family, and I will not get married." Bai Sanzhuang vowed.
The happiest thing was the white wooden board. Now he didn't have to be caught between his mother and son.
"Well, you can work in your shop if you can. If you can't, it's fine to go home and farm. Your mother and I are keeping an eye on your marriage. Your aunt's cousin..." Bai Banban mentioned his son's marriage, and his whole body Relax.
"Don't you stop pulling red strings like that, you're my aunt and cousin." Mrs. Bai said loudly.
There are ten thousand people who look down on Zhen's girl.
She didn't want to become in-laws with Zhen's sister, not even by kissing her.
Bai Banban glanced at Zhen and didn't dare to say anything.
"It also depends on whether San'er likes it." Madam Zhen smiled awkwardly, and then said to her third son seriously, "San'er, you go to school and work as an apprentice in a shop for the sake of the fourth son, but you can't sacrifice your marriage for the sake of this family. Get in. Mom hopes you will think more about yourself and find someone who understands both cold and hot."
A person who knows both cold and hot?
Bai Sanzhuang saw the field wheat seedlings killing pigs in front of his eyes, and two red clouds rose up on his face.
Mrs. Zhen just thought he was shy when he mentioned the marriage.
"Mom, I'm still young now, so I won't think about marriage for now. They say fate is destined by God, and what should come will come naturally. I'm not in a hurry." Bai Sanzhuang said.
Aunt's cousin?
He had never thought about it.
…
When the Bai family went to their room to discuss the matter of Bai Sanzhuang getting married, the second daughter-in-law, Eugene Gui, started acting like a monster.
