Chu Yi and Uncle Chu were both stunned when they heard this, and then looked at Shen Luzhu aside.
"Lu Zhu is right, you really need to listen to Xiu Xiu to do this. I was confused for a moment."
Whether Chu Xiuxiu wants a son-in-law has to be discussed privately between the father and daughter. In short, no matter what the decision is, the young couple supports it. Even in Shen Luzhu's mind, it doesn't matter even if Chu Xiuxiu never wants to get married in her life, as long as As long as she sincerely wants it.
Seeing Uncle Chu pushing the wheelchair out of the main room, Shen Luzhu quietly put his hand on Chu Yi's waist and pinched him: "How could you be a cousin like you? Shouldn't I ask about such a big matter first? Do you mean Xiuxiu?"
Chu Yi stretched out his hand to wrap his wife's little hand and said, "It's my husband's fault. Fortunately, my A Zhu reminded me, otherwise I would really have done something wrong."
"I know you want to share the worries for Third Uncle, and don't want Third Uncle to be entangled and uncomfortable, but in the end, this matter is related to Xiuxiu's lifelong happiness. Whether it is getting married, recruiting a son-in-law, or even whether to get married, Xiuxiu should make the decision herself. Yes, let’s just support her.”
Chu Yi turned around and solemnly assured his wife: "A Zhu is right, I was impatient just now. I will have a good chat with my third uncle later. Don't be wronged and show off your talent."
Shen Luzhu moved the fingers held by Chu Yi and scratched his palm: "I know you didn't mean it."
Sighing, Chu Yi suddenly sighed: "Fortunately, our family has a brat. If I were a daughter, I might be as troubled as my third uncle in the future."
"What, you want a daughter-in-law?"
Chu Yi smiled and shook his head, hugging his wife and walking towards the west courtyard: "It's enough for me to have you and Zhengzheng."
Shen Luzhu didn't know what exactly Chu Sanshu and Chu Xiuxiu had talked about. She only knew that Chu Xiuxiu told Shen Luzhu her decision early the next morning: "Cousin, I have decided to find a son-in-law."
Shen Luzhu looked at Chu Xiuxiu's facial expression carefully and saw that she was very calm. She did not have the yearning and coquettishness of a young daughter that ordinary girls would have when they talked about marriage. She felt something was wrong in her heart, so she asked : "Have you really decided?"
"Well, I've decided on my cousin."
"Xiuxiu, this is a lifelong event. Your own true thoughts are the most important. You don't need to think too much about other things. The Deng family's..."
Chu Xiuxiu interrupted her cousin-in-law's words and smiled and said: "Cousin-in-law, I have really considered it. I will stay at home from now on. It will be great to accompany my father and my cousin. Is it possible that my cousin will be bored?" I’m here, don’t you want me to stay at home?”
Seeing this, Shen Luzhu could only sigh, nodded Chu Xiuxiu's forehead and said, "Yes, I'm just tired of you."
Within two days, Mrs. Tan followed her words and visited the Chu family's door again. Shen Luzhu invited her to his main room and served her tea and cakes. After greeting her, she said very apologetically: "Matchmaker Tan, I'm really sorry. Last time I’m afraid the matter you mentioned won’t happen.”
After hearing this, Matchmaker Tan hurriedly asked: "Boss Boss, why is this, but what's the problem?"
"No, it's my family's own fault. Maybe Matchmaker Tan doesn't know that my third uncle only has one daughter, and he really couldn't bear to get married. After thinking about it, he decided to find a son-in-law. I bothered Matchmaker Tan and ran away twice. It's really too much. Excuse me."
As a matchmaker, after receiving the red envelope from someone else, she naturally has to do her best to make a match. When Mrs. Tan heard this, she waved her hands and said, "What's the point? We live on the same street. I came here twice and ate a lot from the landlady." From the tea and cakes, I still make the profit."
"If you like it, just come and visit me when you have nothing to do. My Xiuxiu family is looking for a son-in-law. We also have a younger brother and two apprentices. In a year or two, we will ask Matchmaker Tan to help match them. It’s a marriage affair.”
Mrs. Tan smiled and said: "The boss lady is really kind-hearted and even worries about the marriages of her apprentices. Don't worry about the marriages of the husbands at home. Just leave it to me when the time comes. I'm sure they will find a beautiful girl."
"Thank you so much, Matchmaker Tan."
"You don't have to be polite, boss lady, but I would like to say a few more words about the girl's marriage at home. My family is reluctant to let me know, but I understand.
There are no good husbands among the sons-in-law who have been recruited. Either their families are not good enough, or they themselves have shortcomings. Our Chu family's girls are so outstanding, it would be a pity to match those.
Besides, the Deng family and our family are very close to each other on this street. From now on, it will not be a matter of a stick of incense for the girl to go home. "
Shen Luzhu smiled and continued to explain: "Having said that, after all, she is a married daughter, so she can't go to her parents' house every day, but I still have to thank Matchmaker Tan for her kindness."
Speaking of this, Granny Tan didn't want to say anything more. After taking a few sips of tea, she left Chu's house and went straight to Yuelai Inn along the street.
Deng Nanxun had not seen Chu Xiuxiu for several days since his mother-in-law said she wanted to find a matchmaker to propose marriage to Chu's family. Today, he was bored, sitting behind the counter and looking at the travel notes that were originally sold to Chu Xiuxiu, when he saw his mother-in-law giving them to her. Mother Tan came out of her backyard.
Thinking that maybe the marriage proposal at Chu's house had made progress, he threw the book on the counter and hurried into the backyard. But before he could say anything, he saw his mother-in-law dragging his father into the main room. Then there was a "bang" sound and the door was closed.
Deng Nanxun was even more curious when the door was closed even if we were talking about something in the summer. Without thinking, Xiangye quietly ran under the window and eavesdropped.
"Why did you drag me into the main room? I still have things to do."
"Mr. Tan just arrived."
"What do you say?"
When Deng Nanxun heard this, he thought to himself that his father was indeed as curious as he was, and hearing this voice raised his eyebrows.
"Alas, it didn't work."
When Deng Nanxun heard this, his heart thumped, as if a basin of cold water had poured down on him from head to toe in the dead of winter.
"Ah, then Mrs. Tan told me why. Didn't you say last time that it would be a big success? It's only been a few days, why is it not working anymore?"
I heard Mother Deng sigh again in the room, and then continued: "Who says it's not the case? Last time, Granny Tan told me that the Chu family might have known about it, so she didn't ask any more questions. She just said that the family would discuss it. She also guessed that she would ask the Chu family girl what she thought, but suddenly today she said that the Chu family said they were looking for a son-in-law."
"Recruiting a son-in-law... The Chu family only has a daughter. Maybe they can't bear to part with it, but it's understandable that they want to recruit a son-in-law. In this case, the marriage between our two families will really not be possible, and our Nanxun family will never be able to do it no matter what. Son-in-law, if the eldest brother and the old man find out, they will peel off my skin and break my legs."
There was a "pop" in the room, which seemed to be Deng's mother slapping Deng's father: "You still have thoughts about this? His father, what are you talking about to recruit a son-in-law? Isn't this an excuse made by the Chu family? Can you?" It’s because Miss Chu didn’t like the third child at all, and she said that because she was afraid of hurting our face. Otherwise, why else would Miss Chu never come to deliver food after that day?
Besides, it's not like the Chu family just discovered their daughter in the past few days. Why haven't they thought about recruiting a son-in-law? Granny Tan didn't mention it last time when she went there. So she suddenly wanted to recruit a son-in-law in just two days? "
"this……"
Before Deng's father could speak, the door was pushed open violently, and Deng Nanxun appeared in front of the door: "Auntie, what's wrong with me? Miss Chu doesn't like me. I can change it."
"Third brother, why are you here?"
Deng Nanxun nodded lowly, then suddenly knelt on the ground: "Father and mother-in-law, please let your son be the son-in-law of the Chu family. Where are your three sons? I am the only one who will be spared. I beg you, son."
Mother Deng stepped forward and slapped her son, then stretched out her hand to pull him up: "What nonsense are you talking about? Get up quickly and become your son-in-law. You really want your father to be raped by your father and uncle." The skin is gone, get up quickly!"
Father Deng also stepped forward and asked, "You have only met this girl a few times, why do you have to marry her and not even care about me?"
But Deng Nanxun, who had always been obedient, refused to give in at all this time. He lay on the ground and refused to get up: "Dad, why don't I go and beg grandpa and uncle? If you want to beat or scold me, come at me."
Seeing that she couldn't hold Deng Nanxun up, Mother Deng simply loosened her hold on his hand, helped her wife beside her up, and sat down on a chair beside her: "Don't pay attention to him, let him kneel down."
"Aunt..."
Mother Deng ignored him. Her mouth was dry after just persuading her. She poured herself a large cup of tea and drank it in one gulp. After taking a breath, she said, "Third brother, I will tell you the truth today, lest you do it later." If you don't want to be the son-in-law of the Chu family, and if you resent your father and I for refusing to fulfill your wish, do you really think that the Chu family wants to recruit a son-in-law, and that's why you don't agree to the marriage with our family?
This is just an excuse. The girl must not have liked you at all, so she stopped coming to our inn and made up an excuse to recruit a son-in-law. To save the face of our old Deng family, even if we agree to let you go What's the use of being a door-to-door son-in-law if people don't agree? "
Deng Nanxun looked at his parents with a pale face, still unwilling to believe it: "Really?"
"I am your mother-in-law. Don't I want you to marry a lovely girl? Why are you lying to me?"
Seeing that his wife's few words had frightened his young son, who was willing to accept death, Deng's father hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, why don't you get up and admit your mistake to your mother, why are you kneeling there all the time?" "
Deng Nanxun lowered his head and murmured: "Mom and dad, I'm sorry... my son has gone back to his room first."
Seeing Deng Nanxun walk out of the house dejectedly, Deng's father asked with some worry: "His mother, is it a little bad for us to say this? The Chu family didn't say that they looked down on the third child..."
"What if you don't say that? Just let him kneel down and insist on being someone's son-in-law. Besides, how do you know that the Chu family doesn't really think what I said?"
"That's the truth, but look at the way the third child looks like an eggplant beaten by frost." Literature
Mother Deng sighed and said, "Then why don't you go and ask my father and eldest brother to let the third child become their son-in-law?"
As the youngest son of the Deng family, Father Deng was often scolded by his father and eldest brother for being naughty and mischievous when he was a child. As a result, he is now very frightened. He waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Forget it, I think you are right, mother-in-law." That's what the Xu Chu family thinks. Even if my father really agrees, he still won't want to go to the Chu family when the time comes. Our third son won't be hit harder, so let him take it easy for a few days, and it will pass slowly."
Mother Deng squinted at her wife and said, "Get out of here."
