Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“I’m relieved that you understand. Qingxiang is a good child. When she marries into your family, she will be filial to her in-laws and considerate to her husband. I can guarantee that.”
“This life is about understanding each other. Now that Ah Lu understands the importance of Qingxiang’s wedding, Qingxiang will take good care of Ah Lu in the future and let him prepare for the exam in peace.”
“Compared to some small matters at home, the child’s school examination is more important. If he can become an official, it will be a great joy to bring honor to his ancestors. I think Ah Lu is very good at reading. In the future, if you have time, you can discuss it with Ah Heng.”
Madam Liu deliberately led Madam Huang to think about this and also made it clear that her family could not be easily bullied. After all, Chu Heng was more outstanding than Song Lu. No one could deny that.
One was an ordinary elementary scholar, and the other was the first place.
Of course, she also hoped that her grandson-in-law, Song Lu, would be able to walk the official path and help Ah Heng in the future.
It could also remind Madam Huang not to lose the big for the small, killing two birds with one stone.
As soon as Madam Huang heard this, she immediately thought about Chu Heng and came to her senses.
Yes, their family had married the Chu family in order to build a good relationship with Chu Heng.
spending time together, how could they not develop feelings for each other?
As for the betrothal money, Madam Huang remembered Madam Zhang’s words and could not help but confirm, “Aunt is right. Guihua was wrong just now, and Sister Zhang was thoughtful. This money is for Qingxiang, for Ah Lu’s small family. Then it’s settled. Six taels of betrothal money.”
When Madam Liu heard this, how could she not hear the probing in her words? However, this matter had long been discussed by Madam Zhang and Chu Lin, so they were not deceiving the Song family.
Of course, as for Qingxiang’s dowry, it was impossible to give it to Madam
Huang.
It seemed that Madam Huang had not thought of this at all.
It was likely that there would still be some problems to be solved if Xiangxiang married Song Lu. However, in her own family, Madam Zhang and he got along harmoniously and gave in to each other.
However, with a lot of dowry, Qingxiang could stand tall in her husband’s family. She would not have to be afraid of being criticized or bullied.
As for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, marrying into an ordinary family would also have these troubles. Song Lu had a good character, was good at studying, and had good personal conditions. He could be considered to have some advantages.
At least if Qingxiang married into the family, she would not have to worry about lacking food and clothing.
To put it simply, it was to marry someone with good conditions. Anyway, there were conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
“Of course. We’re all thinking for our children.” Madam Liu nodded.
Not to mention what Madam Huang was thinking, the issue of the betrothal gifts had been resolved.
Because it was the middle of the afternoon, Madam Liu asked Madam Zhang to prepare dinner. Basically, they had to eat dinner before the sky turned dark. After all, the two of them still had to return to the village and would delay some time.
After settling her daughter’s marriage, Madam Zhang was in a good mood and was very willing to go to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Madam Chu was entertaining Madam Huang.
When Chu Lin returned, he called Chu Zhiwen and Chu Lin to talk to Song Lu alone.
Song Lu sat obediently in the lower seat, quietly waiting for the two elders to speak.
Chu Lin glanced at his father, not knowing how to speak. Before he came out, his mother asked him to ask Song Lu the reason for his early marriage.
However, the Song family had already explained it.
Chu Zhiwen believed in his wife’s wisdom. Since she reminded him like this, there might really be some secrets.
There was nothing to hesitate about when facing a junior.
He directly asked, “Ah Lu, we’re alone now. As a grandfather, I just want you to tell us sincerely.. What’s the real reason for getting married early?”
