When the He family came, the Su family was already ready to see what trouble they were going to make.
Before they broke up, Su's mother still treated them politely and moved stools for them to sit in the yard.
When Village Chief He arrived, he didn't say much nonsense and asked his wife to take out a large bag of silver.
"Lao Su, I feel bad about your family's suffering. I also know that it's not easy for you. Your elder brother is about to take the exam. How can he do it without money?
Our family is also an ordinary family. These fifty taels are all we have. Now we are giving them to you for emergency help. Don’t be too dissatisfied. Having something is better than nothing. Lao Su, brother can only help you so far. "
Looking at the bulging bag of broken silver, Su's father's eyes were full of mockery, but he just lowered his head so that he didn't see it.
He is getting more and more confused. He found someone to steal his home, and now he is here to bring warmth. What is his intention?
"Lao He, our family can't afford to pay back so much money!"
Su's father followed Su Wan's words and followed his wishes.
The He family thought to themselves, it’s okay if you can’t afford it, but only if you can’t afford it will you be willing to marry our daughter.
"Don't worry. If it's really not enough, I'll try to find a way to get it for you. Anyway, your elder brother must go and rush for the exam. He is so knowledgeable that he must not miss this opportunity."
Under the guise of doing their best, she gave her daughter to their family, just for the position of the official wife.
Just to use his elder brother's achievements to gain his own reputation.
The He family has been a commoner for generations, and the men are inconspicuous. They have never produced a scholar-bureaucrat with a glorious ancestor. In his generation, he wanted to get rid of his identity as a mud-legged person. He only dreamed of it, so he put all his expectations on He Jiaolan. , smashed into other people’s homes.
At this time, it was Su Wan's turn to take action. She walked out, looked at Uncle He and asked:
"Uncle He, our family has nothing to repay you for your help. Moreover, my eldest brother is going to the capital to take the exam, and fifty taels is not enough. It is only enough for travel expenses."
"It's okay. If it's still short, I'll find a way to borrow it from relatives. Even if I sell the fish pond at home, I'll find a way to make up for Su Jing's expenses!"
Village Chief He agreed without a second thought. Their family had been frugal for so many years, and their savings were at least one hundred taels. It was impossible for them to borrow money just to pretend to be me in front of the Su family. It’s just an illusion that I’ve spent all my time for you.
He also concluded that there was only one month left before departure after the new year, and they would definitely not be able to collect one hundred taels in a short time.
Besides, the Gu family looks down on the Su family and may not necessarily be willing to help. The Su family is also hard-core and will not seek help from the Su family if they have a way out. It would be a loss of face.
"Uncle He is so generous. Our family has nothing to repay, and the money will not be repaid in a short time."
Hearing what Su Wan said again, Da Zaohua quickly answered:
"We also have requirements!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone naturally looked at her. According to their original agreement, it would be better for her to speak about this matter.
Is there really a purpose?
"What's the request?" Mother Su asked anxiously. She couldn't wait to know why.
Da Zaohua pretended to be embarrassed, and then held her daughter's hand. He Jiaolan also blushed and lowered her head shyly.
"It's our Guerlain. I've longed for your Su Jing for a long time. She has refused to marry or go on a blind date because of him. Now that she is about to turn eighteen, she still won't marry unless she is A Jing. Our family just wants to We are obsessed with fulfilling our child's wish. Now your family has suffered another unreasonable disaster, and we cannot bear to see Ah Jing lose her future. Therefore, as long as Ah Jing is willing to marry our Guerlain, the money will be used as our dowry for Guerlain, and we don't have to pay it back. Got it!"
Dazaohua's rhetoric is really well crafted. It not only achieves her own goal, but also shows that she is at a disadvantage. She is forcing her daughter here under the banner of being infatuated.
In this way, their thoughts will be revealed and the world will be clear.
It turns out that they spent so much effort and took such risks just to be a smooth favor and achieve this goal.
Mother Su couldn't help snorting coldly:
"We didn't intend to interfere in our A-Jing's marriage. He has to be willing to do everything. Besides, our family is poor and our life is not easy. If your Guerlain were to marry, I'm afraid it would be difficult. Hard days!"
"Don't be afraid of hard times. We believe A-Jing will be good to her. Besides, children's marriages are all decided by parents and matchmakers. As long as you nod and agree, I'm sure A-Jing won't have any objections!" Da Zaohua Try your best to fight for it, anyway, you are determined to marry your daughter.
"Our family doesn't want parents to order matchmakers. As long as the children like it, it's fine. And you have to ask Ah Jing if he is happy with it. If he is not happy, we parents will not force him. Another thing, He is currently studying hard and has not earned any fame yet, and his thoughts are not on the love between his children, so..."
"So let's forget about it, our family doesn't want your money!"
While Su's mother was speaking, Su's father suddenly interrupted him. He looked at Village Chief He with a gloomy face, which made him panic.
"How can this be forgotten? Ah Jing has to rush for the exam and needs money. Our Jiao Xingren is also good-looking and hard-working. Over the years, our family has helped your family a lot. As a result, What a wonderful in-law family. In-laws are getting closer. Your A-Jing and our Guerlain are also childhood sweethearts. What a wonderful marriage. It can not only fulfill the children's affection, but also solve the most urgent problems. It's the best of both worlds!" Da Zaohua Seeing that they refused, she became anxious and poured out her words like beans, unable to hide her ambition at all.
"Aunt Zaohua, I don't agree with this!" Su Wan laughed angrily.
"First, my eldest brother and Sister Guerlain are not in love with each other. As for childhood sweethearts, it can't be justified. They are from the same hometown at best. My eldest brother studies abroad all year round and doesn't get along much with Sister Guerlain. There is no so-called affection. Moreover, my eldest brother will ask to marry her in the future. A girl must be gentle and virtuous, well-versed in the Four Books and the Five Classics, reasonable, smart and smart, and diligent and thrifty in running the household. I would like to ask if Sister Guerlain is well-versed in the Four Books and the Five Classics, can she compete with my elder brother in poetry in the future?
If my eldest brother enters an official career, he will definitely need a wife who can read and write to take care of his wife. As far as I know, Sister Guerlain has never attended a private school, so I'm afraid it's inappropriate!"
Now that this was the issue, Su Wan became rude when speaking and was not afraid of offending others.
These words made the He family full of shame and anger.
"What you mean is that my Guerlain is vulgar and unworthy of your eldest brother!" Dazaohua's face turned dark.
