Chapter 159 Cousin Xu Yao
Su Xiaoyun is a gentle person who is always kind to others. It's no wonder that she is so bullied by such a person as a sister-in-law.
Li was really good at talking, and she coaxed Old Mrs. Xu and Old Mr. Xu into standing on their side of the big house, and kept exploiting my aunt and uncle's family.
Su He didn't indulge her, and sneered and said:
"This must be my cousin Lian's aunt. She looks like she has a very good life. Her hands are much whiter and softer than my aunt's."
Su He's lips curled slightly, with a hint of disdain.
"Although I am Cousin Lian's cousin, I still have to say that since ancient times, there has been an order of seniority. The eldest sister hasn't even arranged a marriage yet, but she's already found a husband for her younger sister. If this gets out, people might say that your Xu family didn't have good intentions and didn't find a good family, right?"
After hearing Su He's words, Mrs. Li and Old Lady Xu opposite them turned pale and blue in the face, as if their thoughts had been exposed, and they were a little embarrassed for a moment.
Su He didn't care. If she could do such a thing, why would she be afraid of what others would say?
He was reluctant to let his own daughter get married, so he set his sights on Xu Lian. This whole family is so evil-hearted, how could they still have any dignity?
The two brothers, Old Man Su and Su Dawu, were also very angry and felt that what Su He said was absolutely right.
Xu Lian is their niece. Even if the Xu family doesn’t feel sorry for her, they do. When the Su family was in trouble, they never thought of abandoning their family.
How could the Xu family be so inhumane? Xu Lian is just a little girl, yet they want to push her into the fire pit. Is this a human thing to do?
"That's right. I think what Ah He said is right. You know exactly what your Xu family is planning."
Su Danian snorted coldly. If he hadn't been concerned about not giving the other party some face, he really wanted to spit in front of them.
After hearing what Su Danian said, Old Man Xu and Old Lady Xu felt a little embarrassed. Although they knew that what they did today was inappropriate, they could not resist Li's instigation, and the second son had always been an honest and obedient person.
They made up their minds and agreed, but who knew that the second brother would bring the Su family with him and they were caught.
I should have gotten things done earlier. If I had done it earlier, even if they knew about it in the end, Xu Lian would have already arrived at the Lin family, and the matter would have been a done deal.
Even if Xu Qingshan knew about it and disagreed, he had to agree in the end. Otherwise, Xu Lian's reputation would be ruined, and no other family would come to propose marriage to her, and she would have to be an old maid for the rest of her life.
"You can't say that."
Old Mrs. Xu curled her lips and said awkwardly:
"We are doing this for Xiaolian's own good. She is not as outstanding as her cousin. The Lin family is already the best choice."
When Xu Qingshan heard what his mother said, he felt a little bitter in his heart. For so many years, he and Su Xiaoyun had worked diligently and uncomplainingly. Even when the children were wronged, he never said a word, and all the good things in the house were given to his eldest brother's two children first.
Now the mother actually said this. They have worked so hard for so many years and have not gotten anything good. Even the children are despised by their own grandmother.
He looked up at Xu Lian who was standing next to Su He, and saw that his daughter was not wearing any jewelry and had a long braid on her head tied up with a cloth strip.
The clothes she was wearing were old clothes that Xu Yao had worn for many years and no longer wanted. They had been worn by Xu Lian for many years and were washed white and had patches on them.
On the other hand, Xu Yao, compared with Xu Lian, was like a young lady in the town. Not only did she hardly do any housework, but the silver hairpin on her head made him feel a little dazzling.
This silver hairpin was Su Xiaoyun's dowry. It was coaxed away by Old Lady Xu a few years ago. Unexpectedly, it was finally worn on Su Yao's head.
Now it seems that everything their family has done, their repeated tolerance of Old Lady Xu and the eldest wife of the Xu family, has not won them any affection, but has instead made things worse.
"Don't worry about Xiaolian's marriage, mother and sister-in-law. Xiaoyun has her own plans. Sister-in-law should worry about Xuyao's marriage first. She is not young anymore. Since the Lin family is a good place, you can arrange it for her. Xiaoyun and I are her uncle and aunt, so we will naturally prepare some dowry for her when the time comes."
Xu Qingshan said with a cold face: "What do you think?"
When Old Lady Xu saw that Xu Qingshan was not as good as before, her heart skipped a beat and she seemed to have a bad premonition.
Xu Qingshan has always been the one who listens to her the most. He usually keeps his word. Even if Su occasionally instigates him, it is only after she makes a fuss and pretends to complain that Xu Qingshan finally compromises.
Li looked at Xu Qingshan and felt a little nervous. She looked at Xu Wei, the eldest son of the Xu family, and wanted him to come out and say something.
Xu Wei is Xu Qingshan's elder brother, so naturally he can say a few words about him.
But Xu Wei lowered his head hesitantly and took a step back, not daring to look up at Li and Xu Qingshan.
He has always relied on the love of Old Lady Xu and Old Man Xu, and has always looked down on his own younger brother.
But now Xu Qingshan looked like he was going to eat him. He couldn't help but feel a little scared and didn't dare to step out.
Anyway, his father and mother are there, so he can just watch quietly from behind.
Seeing Xu Wei's appearance, Li glared at him with some disappointment.
He turned his head and winked at Old Mrs. Xu.
Xu Yao is her precious daughter, who has been spoiled by her since she was young. Her hands are so white and tender. In the future, she will marry and become the wife of a shopkeeper in the town. How can she marry that fool from the Lin family?
Thinking of this, he looked at Xu Lian with disdain. This maid was considered to be of some value to be able to marry into the Lin family. It was her blessing to pave the way for her children.
When Old Lady Xu saw Li's hint and thought of Xu Qingshan's words just now, she couldn't help but feel slapped in the face.
The Su family is still here, the second brother is slapping himself in the face.
Xu Lian is her granddaughter, so how can she not decide on her own marriage?
"Second brother, what are you talking about? I've already been looking for a marriage partner for Yao'er. I picked the Lin family for Xiaolian after careful consideration. What are you dissatisfied with?"
After saying that, she glared at Xu Qingshan and continued, "Are you dissatisfied with this marriage, or are you dissatisfied with me as your mother?"
As always, Old Lady Xu knew that Xu Qingshan would compromise as long as she accused him of being unfilial.
Old man Xu at the side also spoke up to comfort him:
"Yes, second brother, your mother is doing this for your own good. Xiaolian is married, and Xiaoyuan will be getting married in about two years. By then, your mother will definitely look for a suitable girl for him."
Old Man Xu's words were like a heavy blow to Xu Qingshan's heart.
He knew from a young age that he was not as good as his elder brother at pleasing his parents, so even after he got married, his elder brother's family was lazy and slack in doing all the work in the fields and at home, and left it to him and Xiaoyun.
