Chapter 138 Marriage
After listening to Xu's words, Xia He was thinking of Xia Tingquan's hard work these days, such a thin and small body, and how much pressure he was carrying.

The smile on Xia He's face became so stiff that he could barely hold on. "Third Aunt, don't say that about Brother Quan, he will be sad when he hears."

Although Xia Tingquan didn't say anything, Xia He knew that even though he adopted him to the eldest family, he really regarded Xia He as a relative in his heart.But in the depths of my heart that is not known to the public, I still miss Sanfang, and I have to plan for Sanfang no matter what I do.

But now Xu's words, even though they care about her, are judging the interest relationship; although they talk about Brother Quan like a child who complains about being incompetent, but what he said is full of disapproval of Brother Quan, and Suppress Brother Quan to promote her.

In Xia He's view, this is not advisable.

Mrs. Xu is not stupid, it's just that she was begging Xia He for something today, and she was a little eager for quick success, and she was a little too much in courting and showing favor to Xia He.

At this moment, she seemed to be aware of this problem, with an embarrassed smile on her face. "Although Brother Quan is a member of the big family now, my concern for him will never change. So it is inevitable that I have lost my sense of proportion. Sister He must not argue with me."

In fact, Xu Shi is not really dissatisfied with Xia Tingquan, but she has been waiting for him for more than an hour, and he has not seen anyone yet.

It is inevitable to habitually bring the inner depression to him.

Xia He always knew that his third uncle and aunt were biased. "I can't argue with my third aunt, but it's true that my third aunt doesn't care about me. Now, I am Brother Quan's biological sister, and this elder sister loves my younger brother the most, so I don't care if what my third aunt said is right or not." It makes sense, in my heart, I don’t want to hear others say that he is wrong.”

Xu's face turned red and white when Xia He said it.

She wanted to please Xia He, but she didn't expect Xia He to care so much about Brother Quan. Xu's face was ashamed when he said, "the elder sister loves the younger brother the most", "I don't want others to say that he is not right". panic.

"Sister He..."

Although Xu knew that she would become pale and weak even if she forced an explanation now, she still wanted to say something, trying to reverse Xia He's displeasure at the moment.

But this kind of meaningless explanation is not what Xia He wants to hear at all. "What's the important thing for Third Aunt to come today?"

Mrs. Xu was interrupted by Xia He. Although she was unhappy, she heard her ask her why she came here, and she didn't want to miss this opportunity.

"Sister He, the third aunt is here today. There are two things. One is that the second uncle has already discussed with the Shen family about the marriage of sister Bi, and it will be on the nineteenth of this month. What does your second uncle mean? I want to arrange sister Bi's wedding before the end of the year."

Xia He smiled and said. "That's really great. Congratulations to Sister Bi. In this way, a big matter in the hearts of the second uncle and the second aunt has been solved. The third aunt doesn't need to be in a dilemma about this anymore."

Xu also smiled. "Who says it's not!"

These days, her second uncle has been forcing her to negotiate with the Shen family about the marriage date.

This wedding has not been able to fulfill her wish, but she was so worried that she had several more gray hairs.

Xu smiled for a while, thinking of Xia Shiheng's words, the smile on her lips disappeared, and a sad expression changed into her face.

She planned to wait for Xia He to ask herself, and then follow her words to tell her difficulties.

Unexpectedly, Xia He didn't look at her at all, took a sip of the tea in hand, then picked up the dried plums on the table and ate comfortably.

Xu: ...

In the end, Xu didn't wait for Xia He's question whether it was curiosity or concern.

I had to take the initiative to say it myself. "Hey! It's the best thing to be able to get married before the year. But whether it's the Shen family's request or the second uncle's request, I can't do it!"

When Xu said this, he stopped again.

Seeing that she didn't want to continue, Xia He said to Lan Xin who was beside her. "The tea is cold, ask someone to change it to a cup of hot tea."

"Yes, miss." Lan Xin replied with a blessing.

"Third Aunt's glass must be cold too, so give her another glass."

Xu: ...

Mrs. Xu finally understood, it was what she said to Brother Quan just now that offended this aunt!

Xu gritted her teeth secretly, and didn't expect Xia He to take the initiative to ask this time.

she went on. "The Shen family's request is that all the rice and grain needed for the marriage between Sister Bi and the second son of the Shen family will be provided by our family."

Xia He paused for a while with the hand that reached out to grab the preserved fruit, and then as if nothing had happened, he took a raisin and put it in his mouth as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Mrs. Xu didn't tell herself not to say anything. She couldn't figure out what she was thinking for a moment, so she had to continue. "As soon as your second uncle came back today, he came directly to the courtyard of the third room, and told me that I am the head of the house now, and I should handle the marriage of the lady in the house."

Speaking of this, Xu seems to have infinite grievances, tears are rolling in his eyes. "Second Uncle not only asked me to prepare a dowry for Sister Bi, but also asked me to deliver the rice to the Shen family before the thirteenth."

After the words fell, Xu couldn't control it anymore, and tears welled up in his eyes.

She wiped away her tears and continued. "Don't say it's for the Shen family's rice grain, I can't even get the rice grain for the wedding in our mansion! Second uncle, isn't he deliberately embarrassing me?"

When Xia He heard this, it was impossible not to gnaw.

However, she didn't ask too much about the bad things Xu said, but comforted her. "Third Aunt, don't worry, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, and there is always a way to solve everything."

Hearing what she said, Mrs. Xu stopped crying, wiped away the tears on her face with a silk handkerchief, and looked at Xia He hopefully. "Sister He, you said there is always a solution to everything, so what can you do?"

Hearing her question, Xia He immediately pretended to be embarrassed. "Third Aunt. I really have nothing to do with this matter. Your housekeeper, of course, knows better than anyone else that there is no money on the books of the mansion. As for the issue of rice and grain, let alone the surplus grain for the wedding, give it to the Shen family. Even if we eat it ourselves in the mansion, don't you know what we eat every day?"

When Xia He said this, Xu wanted to cry even more.

She knows these things better than anyone else.It was precisely because he was clear that he was wronged, embarrassed, and came to Xia He to find a way and give him an idea.

In other words, what she came here to wait for Xia He for so long was to solve the problem, not to tell her the current predicament in the mansion.

"Sister He, you are so smart, you must have a way, right? You have to help Third Aunt." In desperation, Xu could not help but grab Xia He's sleeve.

Xia He looked at her hand tightly gripping her sleeve, and thought about it seriously. "Third Aunt, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. Whether it's you or me, there is no money in the account, and nothing can be done."
