Chapter 280: Rejecting Su Xiaozhi

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Xiaozhi was just short of saying that someone like the Niu family would do.

Su Sanlang looked at Su Xiaozhi. He knew that Su Xiaozhi had changed and that the siblings were getting further and further apart.

He had never thought that Su Xiaozhi would actually have a grudge against him. She was just short of complaining bluntly that he gave such a good family to Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu and had not considered his biological niece, Hu Shuangshuang.

Su Sanlang said coldly, “Xiaozhi, I can’t help you with this. You should decide Shuangshuang’s marriage yourself.”

Su Sanlang’s cold rejection was unacceptable to Su Xiaozhi. She couldn’t help but ask, “Third Brother, why? You helped Daniu and Erniu.”

Why didn’t he help her daughter?

Su Xiaozhi was indignant and even a little angry.

She still found it hard to accept, and she couldn’t figure out why Su Sanlang would refuse.

Su Sanlang looked at Su Xiaozhi and said coldly, “Xiaozhi, there are some things you don’t understand. I didn’t help Daniu and Erniu. The two children of the Niu family liked Daniu and Erniu first, so they asked me to be their middleman. I didn’t make everything happen.”

“If you can’t make up your mind about Shuangshuang’s marriage, you can discuss it more with Auntie Cao. Shuangshuang is a good girl. She will definitely have a good marriage.”

Su Sanlang believed that Madam Cao would definitely treat Hu Shuangshuang well.

Su Xiaozhi was disappointed by Su Sanlang’s explanation. She was about to say something else when Su Sanlang stopped talking to her. He turned away. “If there’s nothing else, go back.”

Su Xiaozhi looked at Su Sanlang’s back and felt that he was very unfamiliar. Tears flowed out of her eyes as she choked, “Third Brother, are you still blaming me? Forget it, I’m going back.”

Su Xiaozhi wiped her tears and left.

She knew that Su Sanlang blamed her, but what could she do? Madam Wang was her biological mother.

How could she bear to see her mother crying in front of her?

Why couldn’t he understand her? She had already earned enough money.

When Su Xiaozhi left the main room, she saw Madam Zhao not far away. Su Xiaozhi did not say anything and ran out.

Madam Zhao frowned. Su Xiaozhi had looked at her with blame and resentment.

Madam Zhao carried the kettle into the main room. She poured a cup of tea for Su Sanlang and said, “Sanlang, what happened to Xiaozhi?”

Su Sanlang sighed. “Xiaozhi wants me to matchmake Shuangshuang. I don’t know where she heard that I had helped to matchmake Daniu and Erniu. She blames me for not giving such a good family to Shuangshuang. She wants me to find a family similar to theirs. How can I agree?”

“I didn’t agree, and she said that I still blamed her. She was referring to that incident and blamed me for not forgiving her.”

Su Sanlang was frustrated. His good mood had been ruined by Su Xiaozhi.

Madam Zhao also understood.

She also understood why Su Xiaozhi was looking at her like that. Not only did Su Xiaozhi blame Su Sanlang, but she also blamed her.

Madam Zhao said nothing.

Su Sanlang pulled Madam Zhao’s hand and patted it. “Darling, don’t think about her. Let’s live our lives. I’ll ask Auntie Cao about Shuangshuang’s marriage later. She’ll find a good family for Shuangshuang.”

Madam Zhao nodded. “Yes.”

Hu Shuangshuang was already 17 years old. It was indeed time for her to be betrothed to someone. She was also sensible. In the beginning, it was because Hu Changshou and Hu Changyang were still young that she refused to be betrothed to someone early.

Now that Hu Changshou was 14 years old and responsible, and Hu Changyang was seven years old, her family was already stable. It was time for Hu Shuangshuang’s marriage to be put on the agenda.

Madam Cao was steady. It was impossible for her not to pay attention to such a big matter.

Seeing that Su Sanlang’s expression was a little bad, Madam Zhao reached out and massaged his head. “Your head hurts, right? I’ll massage it for you.”

Su Sanlang sighed and said nothing.

If Su Xiaozhi didn’t compare her daughter to Daniu and Erniu, he wouldn’t get angry.

If Su Xiaozhi really trusted him, he would have agreed. However, Su Xiaozhi’s comparison with Daniu and Erniu really made Su Sanlang feel very uncomfortable.

They were all good girls. Why must they be compared?

Could it be that Hu Shuangshuang would not have a good life after marrying into an ordinary family?

Even if they were farmers, as long as their character was good and the couple was loving, they could live a good life.

Since Su Xiaozhi said so, it was impossible for him to interfere.

Sigh…

Su Sanlang calmed down after two days. It was almost the end of the year, and the family was starting to prepare for the new year.

Regarding Hu Shuangshuang’s marriage, Madam Cao personally came to Su Sanlang’s house on December 27th of the year.

He invited Madam Cao into the house.

Madam Zhao went to make hot tea.

Madam Cao took it and smiled. “Thank you.”

Madam Zhao smiled. “Auntie, you’re too polite.”

Madam Cao said to Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao, “Time really flies. It’s going to be the new year again. I came this time to tell you some happy news.”

Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao listened carefully.

Madam Cao smiled and said, “Shuangshuang is getting engaged on the second of February. Please come to the wedding banquet.”

Madam Zhao smiled and asked, “Auntie, where is the other family from?”

Su Sanlang also asked with concern, “How’s the family? Are they good people? Is everything clear?”

Madam Cao smiled and nodded. “It’s the neighboring village, Octagon Village. There’s a family with the surname Yang. They have two sons, and Shuangshuang is getting engaged to the youngest son, Yang Jin. He’s 18 years old and is a diligent and honest man. The betrothal gift given by the Yang family is five taels, and the land at home is 18 acres. The Yang parents have also divided the land equally between the two brothers, and both of them are diligent. Their days won’t be bad.”

“When the time comes, I’ll add 20 taels to Shuangshuang’s dowry and exchange it for farmland.”

Madam Cao smiled and told Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao that she valued Hu Shuangshuang. She naturally chose a good family for her.

The last time Su Xiaozhi went back, she had complained. Madam Cao knew in her heart that Su Xiaozhi had really hurt Su Sanlang’s heart.

Su Xiaozhi was actually not satisfied with this marriage. Madam Cao did not have the time to care about Su Xiaozhi. She just wanted Su Xiaozhi to do nothing else.

She came to tell Su Sanlang the good news because she hoped that Su Sanlang would be relieved.

“Auntie, February 2nd, right? We’ll definitely come then.”

Madam Zhao said with a smile.

Su Sanlang also smiled and nodded. “I’m relieved that Shuangshuang has a good home. When the time comes, our family will come and see.”

Su Sanlang felt at ease. From the looks of it, the family Madam Cao had chosen for Hu Shuangshuang was not bad.

Hu Shuangshuang also had a dowry. With farmland and soil, as long as she was diligent enough, her life would not be bad.

Madam Cao finished her tea and left. She still had to buy New Year’s goods. Hu Changshou came with her today, but because there were many things to buy, he didn’t come over.

Madam Cao met Hu Changshou after leaving Su Sanlang’s house.

After sending Madam Cao off, Su Sanlang said to Madam Zhao, “Now, I feel at ease.”
