The two families returned home talking and laughing.
Su Sanlang and Mrs. Zhao looked at each other with gentle eyes and warm and peaceful hearts.
After a fun day of playing, the days returned to calm.
During the day, Su Sanlang and Zhao went to the store, while Chen Hu and Qian made sauerkraut and kimchi at home.
Su Chong, Su Hua, and Zhou Heng went out early to study and came back late. Chen Shimeng followed suit and went to school every day.
Su Xiaolu started to practice swordsmanship crazily. After passing through Furongzhou and her group, she knew that her skills were not invincible. The world was so big and there were so many masters, so naturally the higher the level of martial arts, the better.
She is already eleven years old. When her two older brothers are born in the next year, she will also go to Beijing to detoxify Zhou Heng for the first time. After she detoxifies Zhou Heng, it will be time for her to travel around the world.
By that time, the dust of spring had almost settled.
In the past few years, the old man has not come to her. If he doesn't come to her as his apprentice, then she will go to her master.
On the first day of December, news came from the Sun Mansion. Su Hua and Sun Baoqian's horoscopes were very compatible, and they were scheduled to get engaged on the 22nd of December.
After the news was settled, Su Sanlang and Zhao started preparations.
At night, Mrs. Zhao and Su Sanlang said, "My father, we still have more than 700 taels of silver at home. How much do you think is appropriate?"
This is more than a year after I bought this house and moved to the town. Plus the remaining belongings, all my belongings are here.
Some of this money must be kept, and Su Xiaoling and Su Chong are still at home.
Divided into three parts, there are only a little over two hundred taels that can be used for employment.
Su Sanlang took Mrs. Zhao's hand, patted it gently and said, "My dear mother, don't worry. The Sun family knows what's going on in our family. Let's hire them with two hundred and eighty taels, and leave the rest to us."
Brother Chong and Xiaoling, Xiaolu is still young and can wait for us to save for a few more years."
They are not rich and powerful. If the Sun family cared about this, then the marriage would not be settled.
As Zhao listened, her anxiety eased.
At this time there was a knock on the door.
Mrs. Zhao got up and opened the door. It was Su Xiaoling.
"mother."
Su Xiaoling smiled slightly and shouted, then entered the room.
Su Xiaoling is holding a box.
Su Xiaoling walked to Su Sanlang, and after Mrs. Zhao came over, she handed the box to Mrs. Zhao and Su Sanlang. She said: "Father, mother, you have saved this over the past few years. You use it to inject your second brother."
Let’s marry Sun Baoqian.”
Tens of thousands of taels of silver notes were distributed to her every year for the scar-removing medicine. After controlling the quantity of the ointment, she had accumulated 80,000 taels of silver notes in her hand over the past few years. She now took out these banknotes.
, is for Su Huaneng’s beautiful engagement.
Mrs. Zhao felt a little distressed in her eyes and pushed the box back to Su Xiaoling. Mrs. Zhao said, "Xiaoling, just hold it properly, parents don't want it."
Su Sanlang also said: "Your mother is right. This is your hard-earned income. My parents cannot and will not want it. Your second brother is getting married. Your mother and I have plans."
Su Sanlang and Mr. Zhao were determined not to want this money.
Mrs. Zhao closed the box and put it back in Su Xiaoling's hand. Mrs. Zhao said gently: "Silly girl, just keep this money. You will have the confidence to get married in the future. I don't know what kind of person you will marry in the future."
Man, but with this money, I can marry anyone, so my mother can rest assured."
Su Xiaoling still wanted to say something, but Mrs. Zhao pulled her out of the house.
Mrs. Zhao said gently: "My parents understand what you mean, but they won't want it, so just keep it."
Su Xiaoling pursed her lips. Mrs. Zhao sent her out and gently smoothed Su Xiaoling's hair: "Go back and rest."
Su Xiaoling nodded.
She returned to the room, looked at Su Xiaolu who was already asleep, and sighed softly.
Su Xiaolu has been practicing swordsmanship very hard recently, and his arms are swollen every day.
She would hum unconsciously at night, and Su Xiaoling was a light sleeper. She would give Su Xiaolu massages every time to help her sleep better.
Su Xiaolu originally had some baby fat, but after she came back from Furong Island, her chin became pointed and she never made it back up. She was like a new branch in spring, she was stubbed.
Su Xiaoling gently pressed Su Xiaolu's arm, and she whispered softly: "My parents are not willing to ask for this money. I don't know how to repay this family."
What responded to Su Xiaoling was Su Xiaolu's shallow snoring sound.
——
Time passed very quickly, day by day, and soon the day came when Su Hua and Sun Baoqian got engaged.
It can be said to be very lively.
There was a sensation in the entire Yangtze Town, and everyone was discussing this marriage.
Some people say that Su Hua is really lucky.
Some people also say that Sun Mansion took a fancy to Su Hua's talent and learning.
No matter what others say, Su Hua and Sun Baoqian are engaged.
Both Su Sanlang and Zhao's eyes were red.
Chen Hu and Qian stood beside Su Sanlang and Zhao, helping to greet the guests.
Su Xiaozhi also came. She had mixed feelings and didn't know what to say.
Mr. Cao took Hu Changshou and Hu Changyang with him. Hu Shuangshuang was going to get married in two years and it was inconvenient to go out, so he didn't come.
Mrs. Cao sincerely congratulated Su Sanlang and Mr. Zhao, and then took her two grandsons to sit down.
Seeing that Su Xiaozhi was in a low mood, Ms. Cao frowned and said coldly: "Xiaozhi, if you don't want to eat this meal, you can either go shopping or go back."
Su Xiaozhi was a little unwilling: "Mom, I do this for Xiaoshou and Xiaoyang, not for myself."
Ms. Cao frowned: "Xiaozhi, you are getting more and more confused. I don't want to talk to you anymore. You don't need to worry about Xiaoshou Xiaoyang. If you are still like this, then you can go back."
Mrs. Cao has given up on Su Xiaozhi. Su Xiaozhi never listens to what she says.
On the contrary, Su Xiaozhi believed what Wang said the more she thought about it.
How could Su Sanlang feel sorry for them, but under Wang's preaching, Su Xiaozhi felt that what Su Sanlang did was wrong and not enough!
A while ago, the Su family all suffered from abscesses for no apparent reason. Mr. Su, Mrs. Wang and their two sons separated the family, and Ms. Wang was at peace with herself. Maybe it was because the abscesses were tormenting people, and she had no time to look for Su Xiaozhi.
Mrs. Wang is at peace, but Su Xiaozhi is getting more and more restless. Now Su Xiaozhi looks more and more like Mrs. Wang.
Ms. Cao couldn't speak, and she didn't want to say anything anymore. She said many things directly.
Su Xiaozhi originally felt aggrieved and wanted to argue, but seeing Cao's serious expression, she swallowed the words on her lips and smiled.
Although it didn't look good, it was better than being cold-faced, and Mrs. Cao didn't care about her anymore.
Just wait until you finish eating and go back early.
The engagement went smoothly.
Both families were happy.
As soon as they had eaten, Mrs. Cao took Su Xiaozhi and her two grandsons back. After leaving the city gate, Su Xiaozhi suddenly sighed: "It would be great if Xiaoshou can also marry a rich lady in the future."
Ms. Cao frowned and looked at Su Xiaozhi.
Hu Changshou said calmly: "Mom, I don't want to marry some rich lady. I don't have any skills, and I don't have the same talents as Brother Su. How can I match the rich lady? I just want to marry an ordinary woman who treats me sincerely.
