Political Commissar Ye's security guard brought out a bowl of water. Su Ying held the bowl and drank it all in one breath before slowly standing up.
Before Chen Shuyun went in to cook, she looked at Political Commissar Ye and Director Du. The two people suddenly came to say that the bride price was ready, and they had calculated the date and wanted to discuss Su Ying's marriage with her.
Chen Shuyun was very angry with such a faceless character, and immediately wanted to drive them away, but they were accompanied by men in military uniforms, and these two men had strong auras. She couldn't speak to them in a polite way, so let's forget about it. Nothing else.
Seeing Su Ying's head covered in cold sweat, Director Du quickly ordered the soldiers outside to buy some peach cakes.
"We are here to discuss marriage, but the matchmaker didn't tell us about your physical condition before. Please tell us now. You seem to be in poor health."
Political Commissar Ye really tried his best to suppress his temper, so he could talk to Su Ying so calmly.
Su Ying glanced at Chen Shuyun, who was cooking at the door, and spoke in a dry voice.
"My mother doesn't know about this. Did Su Jian...the matchmaker make it clear to you about the betrothal gifts I mentioned before?"
Political Commissar Ye's face turned a little darker.
"As we said, the bride price of one thousand, the three ring and the ring, the cloth, the clothes, the household registration, and the issue of where your mother lives, we all agree on these, but because of the man's health, we may have to keep everything simple when getting married."
Su Ying was actually very conflicted. She was frustrated in finding a job today, which made her feel like she had nowhere to go. However, the visits of these people seemed to have opened another window for her.
She struggled with whether she should exchange marriage for these. Thinking about it, she didn't like anyone now, and it was not certain whether she would meet him in the future. But right now, their situation was too difficult, so maybe there was nothing wrong with making an exchange. Besides, that man might not be able to make it through one day, so she didn't have a chance yet.
After thinking about it for a long time, she said.
"These are all fine, but I have one last request."
Political Commissar Ye and Director Du all changed their expressions, especially Political Commissar Ye, who almost couldn't control himself and slapped the table at Su Ying. Fortunately, he still remembered that she was a lesbian and a young girl, so he was afraid of scaring others.
He patted his chest to calm himself down and asked through gritted teeth.
"what else do you want?"
Su Ying's face was pale, and she could see her displeasure, but since she was planning to sacrifice her marriage, she must be doing it for her own benefit.
"I want a job, preferably something related to medicine."
Political Commissar Ye and Director Du looked at each other, both of them a little confused.
Director Du asked.
"Medicine-related? These professions have very high professional requirements. People who have not studied can't do these jobs at all. Something will happen. Even if you want to marry our Gu Shou... comrade-in-arms, we can't lose our principles for you. .”
Su Ying was really helpless. She suddenly changed her body. The girl in her current body has not yet gone to college. Even if she has knowledge in her mind, she doesn't know how to use it.
She picked up the teapot on the table and took a few more sips of water, saying sincerely.
"Comrades, I understand what you are saying. I really like medicine. I have read many books on this subject and have some medical knowledge. Nothing will happen to me. I promise you."
Have you read a lot of books? Have a reserve of knowledge?
Director Du and Political Commissar Ye finally intuitively felt the arrogance written in Su Ying's information. They suddenly hesitated. Should such a proud, lying, and arrogant girl really be assigned to Chief Gu? With his temper, he would probably have to drive people away within a few days.
Of course, they felt more sorry for the chief. When they married him, they wanted to find a caring and lovely person to take care of him, not to marry such an arrogant person and anger him.
"Well, we have to think about this matter. We can't give you an answer right away. Today, let's go here first and we will give you an answer soon."
Su Ying stood up supporting the table and nodded.
"Okay, let's discuss it. This matter is very important to me."
She meant that this condition could not be cancelled. She was expressing her attitude, but it made the two leaders feel that she did not want to marry, which seemed to be deliberately making things difficult.
But before leaving, they still wanted to take away a photo of Su Ying.
Chen Shuyun sent them to the door and felt very distressed when she saw the photo that Political Commissar Ye held in her hand. It was taken by Su Ying to the county town when she was admitted to college. She wanted to keep it to record her going to college. No more now.
When she returned to the house, she saw Su Ying squatting beside the pot, looking eagerly at the steaming pot.
"Mom, when will these steamed buns be ready? I'm really going to starve to death, especially since I can smell the white flour steamed buns."
Chen Shuyun walked over, opened the lid of the pot, quickly took out a steamed bun, put it on the spatula, then found a bowl, put it in the bowl and handed it to Su Ying.
"Eat, where did you go to find a job today? Why didn't you go home at noon? Also, what happened to these people today? Why did they say you wanted to marry their comrade?"
Su Ying ate the steamed buns with big mouthfuls and said vaguely.
"I just want to enter a pharmaceutical factory, but they don't want me. Well, these people..."
She took a few more bites of the steamed buns, swallowed them in her stomach, and then felt better all over. She looked at Chen Shuyun and whispered.
"Mom, I need money for medical treatment. Their comrade is older, but... the salary can solve our household registration problem. Who am I not marrying now? It doesn't matter if I marry him in exchange for these."
"What does it mean to marry someone who is not married? How old are you? Su Ying, do you want to make me angry to death?"
Chen Shuyun has always been a submissive person who only knows how to work hard. No matter how Su Ying offended people in the village, she never blamed her. Even if she sometimes felt that Su Ying did something wrong, she would only gently persuade her. Tell her that she shouldn't do this, but of course Su Ying won't listen.
This was the first time she yelled at her and asked if he was going to piss her off.
Su Ying also felt a little guilty. She didn't expect that the other party would take it seriously. When Su Jianshe told her this matter before, she made so many requests and thought that the other party would decisively refuse and let it go. But who knew they would Come to discuss marriage.
She put the bowl down, pursed her lips, and held Chen Shuyun's hand.
"Mom, my brain is not very good and I need to take medicine all the time. If we don't have money, I may...the disease will become serious in the future, so..."
As soon as she said this, Chen Shuyun started crying, grabbed Su Ying's arm and hit her twice.
"You kid, why didn't you tell me earlier? Why didn't you tell mom? You want to stay in the city because of this disease, right? Mom doesn't know anything, and she thought you wanted to stay with your dad, right? Mom, I didn’t know your illness was so serious that you were forced to think of marrying someone to pay for the medical expenses."
