Mrs. Zhang curled her lips and said: "The Zhang family's son is a cripple, half of his body is paralyzed. Where can this family find a daughter-in-law? They obviously want to find someone to take care of him, otherwise they will be like this after the old couple passes away." How can my disabled son survive?”
What? The Su family was stunned. He Qinqin's mother wanted to marry her to a cripple?
Su Qingyun frowned. With her education, she felt a little uncomfortable hearing about such an arranged marriage.
"This is too much." Qin Ying said with a frown.
Su Congjun stood up and said, "Qinqin will not marry him! No, I have to find her!" He wanted to run out.
"Stop! You are not allowed to go anywhere!" Wu Guixiang stopped him. "Why are you looking for her? Her mother has even accepted the bride price. This is a done deal!"
"That's right, Congjun, don't be angry. There are so many good girls from all over the country. I'll find you one better than Qinqin."
Su Congjun sat down dejectedly. Li Xiulian felt sorry for her son and asked Mrs. Zhang, "Aunt Zhang, does the He family covet the eighty yuan gift and don't know about our status in the army?"
When Congjun goes to work in the city, eighty yuan will be nothing, he will earn it back in a few months. If He is a money-grubber, there is no reason to let go of a cash cow like Congjun.
"His nephew-in-law, you have got the point right." Mrs. Zhang smiled contemptuously, "Then the He family doesn't know anything about the recent situation in our Luoshui Village, nor the Su family." If he had known it, he would have known it earlier. Just pull it up.
No wonder, it's not that the Su family is trying to put money on their faces. Recently, the whole village has been extremely kind to the Su family, and one by one comes to inquire about their relationship with the town and county officials every once in a while.
"I asked the He family, and she said she wouldn't regret it, so my old lady didn't say anything to avoid offending others."
"Aunt Zhang, you did the right thing." Wu Guixiang sneered, "The He family looks down on us, and we and the Su family don't have to rush!"
"Mom, I can't just watch Qinqin marry that kind of man." Su Congjun was anxious, he liked He Qinqin.
Zhang Xinlan curled her lips secretly and asked her to say, it doesn't matter if this marriage doesn't work out, but the He family is so snobbish. If they become the in-laws, they don't know how much benefits the Su family will gain by dragging them along.
"Mom, why don't we go and ask in person? I like that girl Qinqin very much. She is definitely not willing to marry herself. They say she would rather tear down ten temples than regret one marriage." Li Xiulian told Wu Guixiang said that she couldn't bear to see the girl her son liked marrying someone else.
Wu Guixiang looked at Su Congjun, who looked sad. It was not that she didn't care for her eldest grandson. After a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go in person. I don't believe that the He family won't give an explanation."
"Milk, I want to go too." Su Qingyun said quickly.
Qin Ying pulled her back and glared at her, "What are you doing, a big girl? You're not allowed to go."
"Your mother is right, the little girl can't follow you to get engaged." Wu Guixiang nodded, "Okay, Xiulian and I will take Congjun there. It's still early and there's still time."
"By the way, Aunt Zhang, we have to trouble you to come with us. Don't worry, no matter whether this trip can be made or not, the five yuan promised to you will be worth every penny."
This is so kind! Mrs. Zhang suddenly laughed so hard that she couldn't see her eyesight. The Su family knew how to deal with people and the conditions were good. The He family was really blind.
"Okay, let me go with you again and talk about it."
"Thank you for your milk, thank you for your mother, thank you for Aunt Zhang." Su Congjun turned from worry to joy and quickly thanked her.
The four people hurriedly went to the He family in Changxiu Village. The remaining Su family members stayed at home and waited for the news. The family waited eagerly until it got dark before they came back. Mrs. Zhang had already gone home, and only Su Congjunzu Sun three people.
The faces of the three of them were darker than the other, comparable to the dark sky outside.
The Su family members looked at each other and already had a premonition in their hearts. Su Aiguo pulled his wife and said anxiously: "Tell me, what's going on?"
"What else can happen!" Wu Guixiang's face turned ashen as water, "This marriage is over and we are not allowed to mention it again!"
Su Congjun didn't say anything this time, and he didn't say anything about not marrying anyone other than He Qinqin.
Li Xiulian sighed and said: "The attitude of the He family is really too much. We went all the way, let alone the water and didn't even give us a sip of water. They didn't even open the door to let us in. Congjun wanted to see Qinqin. No way either.”
"Before we even mentioned anything about the marriage, He Qinqin said that He Qinqin had already made an appointment with that boy from the Zhang family. He was trying to drive her away both inside and out."
"What? This is so disrespectful of our Su family. What do they think of us?" Su Aidang said angrily.
"It doesn't matter if you don't make it, it's a lot to do if you make it to the He family." Su Dalin, the head of the Su family, finally said something.
"That's right. Even if they regret it and come back to harass us in the future, there's no way they can do it!" Wu Guixiang said bitterly.
She looked at the sad Su Congjun and said with relief: "Congjun, it's okay. You can go to work in the city with peace of mind. I will keep an eye on you and I will definitely find you a good girl."
"I understand, baby." Su Congjun nodded. Although he still looked downcast, he had obviously let go.
He and He Qinqin had only met twice and had no deep feelings for each other. The He family looked down on him and regretted the marriage. He also had self-respect and could not come to their door again and again. Asking for humiliation.
"Okay, okay, let's eat. Second wife, please bring the food." Wu Guixiang waved her hands and said, she was tired after walking such a long way.
The family gathered around the table and began to eat. From time to time, they would say a few words to the He family. Su Qingyun was a little lost in thought while holding the bowl.
"Yunyun, what's wrong?" Qin Ying looked at her with concern.
"It's nothing, mother, I just think He Qinqin is quite pitiful." Su Qingyun whispered. In this era, even his own marriage and lifelong happiness cannot be controlled in his own hands. It is really sad and pitiful.
Qin Ying paused and looked at her fair and tender face with a gentle expression, "This kind of thing will never happen to our family. In the future, as long as you like it, as long as there is no problem with that person's character, neither father nor mother will do it." Will object."
"Yes, Bao'er, the person you want to marry in the future must be personally checked." Wu Guixiang said firmly, "If anyone dares to treat you badly, I will kill him with a knife."
"Mom, grandma, what are you talking about?" Su Qingyun couldn't laugh or cry, because the matter about her eldest brother came to her as soon as she talked about it.
She put down the bowl, holding one in each other's hands, smiling with crooked eyebrows, "I will stay with you from now on, and I won't go anywhere."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Although Wu Guixiang was scolded, the smile on her face became bigger and bigger. Her baby knew that she was feeling uncomfortable and deliberately made her happy!
The He family in Changxiu Village over there, after seeing off several members of the Su family, Mrs. He breathed a sigh of relief. She had also heard of the evil reputation of the old lady of the Su family. She was just afraid that they would make trouble, but she didn't expect to be so knowledgeable. The land left.
Thinking of the eighty-yuan gift, He's heart felt hot, and her face was covered with wrinkles when she smiled. Father He, who came back from work, saw the smile on her face and asked strangely: "What's so good about you? She's so beautiful." .”
"What good things can happen?" He said with a smile, "Nothing good can be better than the marriage between Qinqin and the Zhang family."
Father He paused, his face a little hesitant, looked at the closed door of He Qinqin's room, and said hesitantly: "My dear, tell me, are we doing this..."
"Okay, okay, don't tell me anything else." Mrs. He waved her hand impatiently, "Our family is all for Qinqin's good. With the conditions of the Zhang family, won't she enjoy happiness when she marries into it?"
"But we only have one daughter." Father He was still a little reluctant.
"Just because we only have this one daughter, we have to think more carefully. We don't have a son to support us in old age. What will happen when we get older and can't work anymore? Is it okay to prevent Qinqin from marrying a well-off husband's family? "
Father He was speechless and had no choice but to shut up.
The two started to eat, and Mr. He was determined not to allow He's father to ask He Qinqin to come out to eat.
"Let's wait until she figures it out and comes out again."
She deliberately raised her voice, but there was no response in He Qinqin's room.
After dinner, Father He was worried about his daughter. Under He's glare, he took the key, brought a bowl of rice, and entered He Qinqin's room.
Looking at his daughter who was lying on the bed crying silently, Father He sighed and put the bowl on the bedside cabinet.
"Qinqin, don't blame us. The boy from the Su family is good, but they have a large family and their conditions are indeed not as good as those of the Zhang family. Your mother and I only have one daughter, and we can only rely on you for the rest of our lives. You marry well." We’ll be fine too.”
He's father's helpless words made He Qinqin shed even more tears. She turned her back to prevent He's father from seeing her face.
Father He was silent for a while and then went out.
The sound of locks being locked sounded, and He Qinqin covered her face in the quilt and cried bitterly.
After another two days, Su Congjun finally calmed down and prepared to go to work in the city. The whole Su family was beaming with joy. Even Zhang Xinlan, who was originally unhappy, looked a little more happy.
The county was far away, and Su Congjun had to come back every once in a while. He packed his things and put on his neatest clothes.
"Not bad, he looks energetic, like a city man!" Su Aiguo praised with a thumbs up.
Li Xiulian looked worried, "If you join the army, you have to work hard when you get to the factory. Study hard with the master and strive to become a regular employee as soon as possible. Remember, you must not embarrass our Su family. Your job represents more than just yourself. ,do you understand?"
"I know, mother, don't worry." Su Congjun was full of energy, "Master, grandma, you can also rest assured."
"Let's go." Su Aimin said.
After all, Su Congjun entered the steel factory because of his relationship with Su Qingyun. Su Aimin accompanied him on the first day there.
Seeing the two of them going out, Su Qingyun smiled meaningfully. Her father was so impatient that he wanted to make another fortune.
