The powerful minister favors the small farmer's wife alone

Chapter 76 Su Ling's Worries

After hearing Su Ling's words, Xu Zhixiang said helplessly: "Mr. Li didn't get married, that's because his mother is too picky. The matchmaker told me a few times before, and his mother didn't find a match. Why didn't he invite a matchmaker to come to our house this morning to propose marriage?" , I want to marry your eldest sister."

As soon as Su Ling heard the chopsticks in his hand slapped on the table, a murderous look flashed in his eyes, but it quickly went out, and he picked up the chopsticks again and started eating. It can be concluded that he is dissatisfied with this marriage.

Su Chang, who was standing next to him while he was eating, was afraid that the fire would burn him, raised his face in shock, "His family has a crush on my sister? He has good eyesight."

Xu Zhixiang patted the top of his head, "Eat well, it's none of your business here, I'll ask you what you think when I say goodbye to you."

Su Chang said 'Oh', glanced at Su Ling, and grumbled again.

Su Ling frowned and said, "Mother, you didn't agree, did you?"

Xu Zhixiang shook her head, "How can it be, I have to ask your eldest sister before I can talk about it."

"What did the big sister say?"

"Your eldest sister said that there are only orphans and widows in his family, and she didn't agree because she was afraid that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would not get along after they married."

Only then did Su Ling's expression soften, "What my sister said is true. Although Xiao Li is a good doctor, Aunt Feng is too shrewd. My sister has a straightforward heart, and it's easy to be wronged when married."

Seeing Xu Zhixiang nodding her head clearly, a big stone finally fell from her heart.

It's not that he doesn't like his sister getting married, but marrying doesn't just depend on the character of the future husband, the character of the family is equally important.It's not that Aunt Feng's character is bad, but she is definitely not a good person.

But I didn't want Xu Zhixiang to bring up what I said before, "Boss, don't just eat, what are you thinking? If there is a girl you like, just say it, and if you don't like it, I will make the decision for you."

Su Ling shook his head, "Mom, I'm not in love, so don't make decisions for me, I want to save a few more years, do some business when the disaster is over, and think about me when my younger brothers and sisters are older." Son."

Xu Zhixiang didn't expect Su Ling to give her such an answer, so she sighed after a long while, "It's useless to be a mother. You have to bear the burden of this family at a young age. But you don't look at each other at this age, good girl It's all over."

Su Chang quit, "Mother, why are you useless? It's obviously father's fault, even if elder brother shoulders this burden, he also shoulders it for father."

Xu Zhixiang rolled his eyes at him, "I can't stop you from eating, and what you're talking about now is your elder brother's marriage, so what are you talking about?"

Su Chang bowed his head to eat, but kicked Su Ling's foot under the table. He wanted to talk to the girl he was looking for, but Su Ling silently moved his foot away.

Seeing helplessness, Xu Zhixiang knew that the eldest son was determined to not want to marry a wife, and she would be annoying if she talked too much, so it seemed that he could only speak slowly, maybe he would see right with someone else.

After dinner, the two brothers weaved baskets in the yard. The drought this year was severe, and the wicker was not as good as in previous years. Several large baskets at home were worn out after a while. They wanted to weave a few more to save when they had time.

Su Xiaoye moved a stool to sit next to them, and carefully weaved wicker.

Seeing Xu Zhixiang go to the backyard to water the ground, he asked in a low voice, "Brother, what do you think? Tell me about it?"

Su Ling kept his hands on his hands, but he sighed after glancing at Su Xiaoye, "My mother is not in good health. If you want to keep healthy, you have to take ginseng all the time. The ginseng you bought last time is almost finished, right? By now Tell me dear, where can I buy the ginseng my mother eats? Also, you are not young, and my second brother and I may not be able to marry a daughter-in-law if we have no money, but if you and Xiaocao don’t have a good dowry, you can marry your husband. The family is afraid that it will be tortured. Before next year, at least a few dozen taels of dowry will be prepared for you, and then it will be prepared for Xiaocao. Right now, the fish in our well is worth a lot of money, but once it rains , there is water in the river, our fish is worthless."
