Chapter 259 Talking about Marriage
"My house is almost ready. I was planning to invite you to have a barbecue after the Mid-Autumn Festival and then move in."

Sui Ran had a gentle expression, and it was obvious that he was living a good life and had plenty of energy.

She has made a lot of money in the past six months.

The spicy soup and jelly that Jiang Anning taught her were both selling very well.

Today, it has become a signboard of Ruifeng Town.

Not long ago, with the help of Jiang Anning, he successfully bought a small shop in the town with full payment.

The shop is not big and there is no room for people to live in the back.

However, its location on the street and close to the pier has a sufficient flow of people and the business is quite good.

The couple even gave the shop a name, calling it Anning Spicy Soup Shop.

Thinking that in the future, when this small shop is passed on to future generations, they will also teach and remind them to never forget the support and kindness that An Ning had shown to their family.

Sui Ran touched her not-so-obvious belly with a gentle gaze, and said softly, "Don't be polite to me. Without you, how could we be together today?"

"Oh, you might not know this yet! The eldest son of Aunt Fang's family is also talking about a wife soon!"

"I heard that the girl's family has a brother who is a scholar. They are from a very good family."

Aunt Fang has made a lot of money in the past six months.

At first, I followed Sui Ran and others to sell spicy soup, helping out with the work, and the three of them shared the money they earned equally.

Later, it seemed that the couple made this spicy soup into the signature dish of Ruifeng Town.

Aunt Fang thought about doing some other business.

Jiang An Ning picked out a few snacks from the notes left by her mother and asked Aunt Fang to pick one to learn.

Aunt Fang finally chose the donkey rolls.

Business is pretty good now.

I push a small cart every day and go out for a stroll. When I’ve sold all the things, I close the stall. It’s quite relaxing and leisurely.

"That's great! Once the marriage is arranged, I will definitely come to the wedding."

Jiang Anning was truly happy for Aunt Fang.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he was going to the capital.

It’s hard to determine when I’ll return after this trip.

It is not even known whether he will return.

"Look at my brain, I'm afraid I have forgotten everything. I can only give you a generous gift to show my appreciation."

Jiang Anning said helplessly: "I just hope that Aunt Fang won't blame me for being rude when the time comes."

"What are you two doing hiding here, sneaking around like that? Are you talking about me?"

Aunt Fang's voice suddenly sounded from behind the two of them.

The two people were frightened.

"Oh my, my aunt, you are so quiet, are you trying to scare someone to death?" Sui Ran patted his chest exaggeratedly.

Aunt Fang glared at her angrily: "Pah! What nonsense are you talking about? You are already a married woman, and yet you are so careless when you speak."

Sui Ran didn't get angry or annoyed when being scolded. He smiled and cooperated with others to drive away the bad luck.

"I said the wrong thing."

She flattered him and said, "It's like saying that having an old person in the family is like having a treasure. You see, if there is no one with life experience at home to help keep an eye on the big and small things, it's really easy to make a fool of yourself."

Aunt Fang glared at him again: "You are such a chatterbox! I don't know who you learned this from. You used to be a simple person, but now you are becoming more and more slick! You are so unruly. It's probably because your Jiang Guicheng spoils you. If it were someone else, they would have scolded you for being useless..."

She paused, frowned and thought for a moment, "Oh, yes, women's virtues are women's words, women's virtues are women's deeds."

"Bah! Who wants to be spoiled by him?"

Sui Ran put his hands on his waist and refused to give in: "Even if he's gone, can I still live without him?"

She raised her hand and stroked her slightly bulging belly: "Even if I'm alone, I can still give birth to the baby in my belly and raise it well."

"Oh my!" Aunt Fang clicked her tongue a few times, pointing at the person and complaining to Jiang An Ning: "Look at how flamboyant she is. She's getting even more outrageous now."

"He even dared to express the idea of ​​leaving the father behind and keeping the son."

"But she is capable."

Aunt Fang said words of disdain, but her smiling eyes were full of pride.

Jiang Anning just covered her mouth and laughed.

Sui Ran glared at Aunt Fang and said, "What are you talking about? What do you mean by leaving the father behind and keeping the son? I have never thought of this. Aunt, please stop making nonsense of me."

"If my Guicheng hears it, he will make trouble with me again."

"I am a double body now, and I can't stand his torture."

Aunt Fang laughed out loud.

Sui Ran could only stare at her with eyes wide open.

"Auntie is still talking about me. Didn't you go to meet your in-laws today? It doesn't look like you're meeting your in-laws. It looks like you've been to school and come back with a literary taste."

She came forward like gossiping: "How is it? I heard that it's a family with talented people! Everyone in the family is good at reading, even the daughter is very well-educated."

"What do you mean by well-educated?" Aunt Fang said disdainfully, "Look at how uneducated you are! I am well-educated."

"Oh, yes, yes, yes, you are very knowledgeable."

Sui Ran couldn't help wondering as he spoke: "Aren't those five carts just several carts?"

Jiang Anning was listening at the side and couldn't help but laugh.

Sui Ran glanced over, pursed his lips, and looked very aggrieved.

"Look, even An Ning is laughing at you."

Aunt Fang snorted: "It's terrible to be uneducated."

"I haven't been to school, and I don't have any brothers who are talented. So what if I don't have any education?"

Sui Ran was not convinced: "It's normal to be uneducated."

"If An Ning hadn't helped me, I would still be a farmer digging for food in the soil!"

"There is no such thing as the good life we ​​have now!"

Sui Ran's righteous and frank tsundere expression made the two of them cover their mouths and laugh.

"Speaking of which, you went to see your daughter-in-law today. How did you see her? Tell me quickly."

Jiang Anning laughed for a while, then remembered the important matter, took the person's hand, and sat down at the long wooden table in the yard.

"I heard from sister-in-law Guicheng that your brother Dazhuang is going to get married. Is that true?"

When talking about her son's marriage, Aunt Fang's smile became more genuine.

"The girl is quite nice, with a straightforward personality and she looks like she is quite adventurous. She is also very generous in dealing with people and things. She is also well-educated and can write. Anyway, she is quite good. She is a good match for my boy. It's like a flower stuck in cow dung."

Aunt Fang smiled and disparaged her foolish son.

"I've also asked the neighbors and people living nearby."

"He is a child from a down-to-earth family. His two brothers are also ambitious and will not sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor. The family atmosphere is quite good." "This child has a hard life. His mother died early, and he was still a child. He learned to take care of the family like an adult."

"At that time, her father and elder brother went to the capital to take the imperial examination."

"There was no adult at home to help her, and she was almost eaten alive by the relatives who came to extort money, seize the family property, and sell her!"

"Fortunately, she was a strong-willed person and used ruthless force to scare those people away. Her father and elder brother also returned in time."

"Otherwise, who knows what will happen!"

Aunt Fang sighed a little and felt sorry for the girl's experience.

It can be seen that he really likes this girl and wants to tell his son about her.

"Fortunately, her father still has a conscience. He did not go home and arrange to marry a second wife when he saw that his wife was gone."

"It can be regarded as giving this child a chance to breathe."

"Later, he simply remarried. Both father and son gave up their studies, took on the responsibility of supporting the family, and went out to work."

"This girl is the oldest of the remaining children."

"So he took on the other half of the family responsibility."

Aunt Fang's face gradually showed concern: "That's why I value her! This child has been in poverty since she was young, and has been in charge of the family early, but she has become a good housekeeper who can take care of everything at home and outside!"

"Her father and elder brother always give her the money they earn from outside to manage."

"Oh, this girl is incredible!"

"After she had taken care of her family affairs, she started to do small business!"

"I started from scratch. I went from being penniless to earning five mu of fertile land and building a new house for my family."

The more Aunt Fang talked, the more she couldn't stop smiling: "This girl is good, this girl is really good!"

"If she hadn't helped to steer her family, there's no telling what would have happened to it."

"Isn't it all good now? She is good at managing the household, has brains, and knows how to do business. Her two younger brothers are also very lucky. They have the opportunity to go to school and continue their studies."

“I heard he’s pretty smart.”

After hearing this, Jiang Anning knew that this marriage would most likely be successful.

At least Aunt Fang was very satisfied and had nothing to say.

"What did the girl say?" Sui Ran listened to her lively talk and came over to say something pointedly: "Don't tell me that you are attracted to the girl. The girl is not attracted to your Da Zhuang!"

Jiang Dazhuang is an honest man, but he is also hardworking and has a sharp eye.

Just too honest.

She didn't inherit any of Aunt Fang's straightforwardness; she is just a natural follower.

But Jiang Genshan is honest and has been honest all his life.

In the village, he is known for his bad temper.

Everyone laughed at him, saying he was afraid of his wife, was useless, and was a disgrace to a man.

What was the result?
It was because of Zhou Ran's gossip that he followed someone to a brothel and got into a lot of trouble.

If An Ning hadn't helped to find out the truth, our family would have almost been in turmoil!
It can be seen that this person who looks honest may not be really honest!
Sui Ran sighed in his heart, but still chose to be a bad guy.

He said bluntly: "From what you said, I can tell that this girl is not simple. She is so young, but she manages the affairs of the whole family very well. It can be seen that she is capable."

“He’s also a man with ideas.”

"People like this won't be easily swayed by anything. Since they are talking about marriage, I don't think it's pressure from their family, but their own decision."

"Then what kind of person does she like? What kind of family does she want to find? Does she want to marry into a family or marry into a family and become a young lady?"

"If you have such ability, you can become a manager in the house of a landlord or a gentry."

"Will she be interested in a peasant like you and me?"

Sui Ran said earnestly: "Don't be the only one who is too enthusiastic. In fact, the girl doesn't have such an idea at all."

"Or maybe, she really has a crush on your Da Zhuang."

"But what do you like?"

"It's your Da Zhuang, the honest man in him."

"Then maybe they are thinking of recruiting a son-in-law to marry into the family."

"After all, from what you said, no one in their family can take care of these trivial household chores. They might not even know which direction the door of the rice and grain store faces."

"You also said that her father and elder brother work outside all year round, so they probably rarely come home."

"Those two little ones, I'm afraid they are still too old to get married."

"Especially given her family's current situation... You said before that her two little ones were very good at studying and had the potential to be scholars, but their family is in such a situation.

"If you are stuck in the middle, then when it comes to marriage, you will inevitably end up neither high nor low."

"If she gets married, there will be no one to take care of things at home, and the family will fall apart, right?"

"If you want to marry a child bride, it's not impossible to raise her by your side since she was young."

"But their situation is such that if they were to tell others of higher status, they would not look down upon them."

"Even if you have great ambitions and the ability to soar to the sky, you still haven't reached it yet, right?"

"The fish has to jump over the dragon gate before it counts!"

"Otherwise, what's the point of you saying that this person has the appearance of a scholar and can pass the examination? Isn't it only counted if he can pass the examination?"

"Otherwise, I would have said that my son has the talent to be the top scholar."

Sui Ran gently stroked her belly, and she really hoped that the baby in her belly would be able to become the top scorer in the imperial examination in the future.

Let her be the wife of top scholar for once, and enjoy the glory.

"But if you talk about a lower-class family, or if you buy one from a poor family, it may not be that smart and easy to train."

"What's more, he has the potential to be a scholar. Who knows, he might be able to make a great leap and soar into the sky in the future."

"Although it is said that a man should not divorce his wife who has shared his hardships with him, when the time comes, how many people can do such a simple thing?"

"People's desires are always insatiable. They may not look down on children from poor families now, and if they become prosperous in the future, I'm afraid they will look down on them even more."

"It's naturally hard to say about this marriage."

The most terrible thing is to be neither high nor low.

After hearing what Sui Ran said, Aunt Fang couldn't help but become a little anxious.

"Oh, I really hadn't thought about what you said at the time."

"So what do you think we should do about this?"

"I was just happy at the time. I thought she only asked the matchmaker to invite our family over, so the matter would most likely be successful."

"I really haven't thought about whether this child wants to marry a son-in-law. You say... I didn't even ask that!"

"If it's really as you said, I'm afraid people will really look down on my Da Zhuang."
