Chapter 20 Night Talk
When she looked over, she saw Su Dahu standing not far behind her, looking at her steadily.
His eyes were deep, with emotions that Su Qingying didn't want to understand.
Xiao Qingyang wanted to take Yaya, but Su Qingying didn't let him. She held Yaya and walked towards Su Dahu: "Brother Dahu."
Su Dahu looked at her steadily, and Su Qingying held Yaya's hand tightly and smiled at him.
"You're getting married tomorrow..." Su Dahu's eyes lingered on her face.
"Ah, yes..."
"Congratulations, Qingying."
"Well, thank you."
The two were speechless.
Su Dahu looked at Su Qingying, who was becoming more and more radiant, and saw that she was more lively and beautiful day by day, and his heart was sour and bitter.
If he had gone to the Su family to ask for her earlier... If he had run faster that day...
Would it be him who would marry Qingying tomorrow?
He and Qingying had been childhood sweethearts since they were young, and he could see her every day whenever he wanted to. She smiled sweetly and appeared in his dreams every day. Every day, he thought about living with her in the future, Qingying taking care of his household affairs and giving birth to his children... As long as he thought about these, he was full of energy every day.
But now, she is going to marry someone else.
If he can also come up with fifty taels of silver...
"Qingying, can you... I can also earn silver, fifty taels, I can also earn..."
Su Qingying looked at him, pleading sincerely, sighing in her heart.
Shaking her head: "Brother Dahu, you should find someone you like to start a family. You are quick and hardworking, and your future life will only get better and better."
Su Dahu's eyes were filled with deep sadness after hearing this.
Su Qingying couldn't bear to look directly at it.
Su Dahu shook his head.
He had watched Su Qingying for sixteen years, watching her grow from such a small child to the graceful appearance she is now. He thought he could keep her, but he didn't expect that she would marry someone else.
Su Dahu tried his best to hold back the tears in his eyes, and took out a silver hairpin wrapped in a handkerchief from his bosom and handed it to Su Qingying: "This is for you... a gift..."
Su Qingying saw that he was staring at the thing in his hand, and felt that this thing must be of great significance to him.
She didn't want it.
"Brother Dahu, keep it for your sister-in-law in the future. I will remember your blessing in my heart."
Su Dahu saw that she didn't accept it, and he couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes. He wrapped the thing and stuffed it into the gap between her and Yaya: "This is for you, it's my heart."
After saying that, he turned and ran away.
Su Qingying hugged Yaya and chased after him for a few steps. Seeing that he soon disappeared, she stopped in a daze.
"Sister, you keep it, Brother Dahu almost cried just now."
Xiao Qingyang liked Su Dahu very much. Usually when someone bullied him, Su Dahu always helped him out, took him to play, and helped his parents with work. The little thing also helped him to be a messenger for many times.
Su Qingying looked down at Xiao Qingyang, and saw Qingxing also looking up to persuade her to accept the things, so she sighed in her heart.
Rejection might make him more devastated.
I can only sigh that fate is so cruel.
At night, the sisters slept in a room, Xiao Qingxing and Xiao Qingyang slept in the outer room. They chatted for a long time and couldn't resist the sleepiness. Yaya had fallen asleep long ago. Su Qingliu was talking to Su Qingying in a low voice. When talking about Su Dahu, Su Qingliu sighed deeply.
"Dahu is diligent and honest, he lives a down-to-earth life, and he has a lot of strength. If you marry him, you won't have a bunch of in-laws to order you around, and it will be a good marriage."
Su Qingying listened to her nagging silently.
Su Dahu's conditions may be average, but his family is not burdened by trivial household affairs, and Su Dahu likes the original owner so much. If the original owner marries him, it will be a happy thing.
It's a pity.
At the same time, she was full of melancholy about the unknown life of the Lu family.
She just wants to live a quiet life. If getting married can't add color to your current life, can't maintain your current quality of life, if the man and his family will only consume you, then it's better to be a quality single noble.
Su Qingying was scared by the high divorce rate after the previous separation and reunion, and she just wanted to live alone.
If a woman has to make money to support the family, do housework, take care of the man, and raise children alone, and the man's role is missing, it's really better to live alone or raise the children alone, and live a quiet life.
When you have free time, do some things you like to do, that's all.
So Wang hired her to the Lu family before, and she didn't resist.
Before meeting Su Qingliu today, she learned about Su Qingliu's married life from Su's father and mother, and felt a little sad for her.
She was the eldest sister in her natal family. She helped cook and take care of the baby and do housework before she was taller than the stove. When she was older, she followed the adults to the fields, busy up and down, and there was no day of relaxation. And getting married is worse than being in her natal family.
The man Su Qingliu married lost his parents when he was young. She thought she would not have to worry about the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problems, but she did not expect that life would be even harder.
Her brother-in-law Cui Mangzhong is three years older than her sister. After losing his parents, he grew up in his uncle and aunt's house. His grandparents did not care because they had to rely on their son and daughter-in-law for their old age, and never said a word or two for this eldest grandson.
In theory, he would not be conscripted, but who made the Cui family not separate? Several uncles and aunts said that they had raised him and insisted on giving him the conscription quota.
Before he was conscripted, his grandparents were tough and sold an acre of land in the family and borrowed some money to marry him.
He left right after the marriage, and Su Qingliu lived with his uncle, aunt, and grandparents. Because they sold the land and borrowed money to marry her, the family did not have a good face for her.
She herself had no confidence and was a soft-hearted person, so she took on all the hard and dirty work. After giving birth to Yaya, no one helped her take care of her. She didn't even finish the confinement period before she tied Yaya on her back and carried her around...
In just two years, her face was haggard and her eyes were dull.
Su Qingying took out a tael of silver from the purse given by Lu Bocheng and stuffed it into her hands in the dark.
"What is this?" Su Qingliu fumbled around. When she heard it was silver, she was so scared that she pushed it back to her.
"Sister, take it and hide it secretly. If you get sick in the future or need to buy some food for Yaya, you don't have to look at other people's eyes. When I make money in the future, I'll give you more."
Su Qingliu refused several times, and finally took the silver while crying.
She cried softly and suppressed her tears for fear of waking up Xiao Qingxing. Su Qingying also cried with her.
"This is what Lu Bocheng gave you, right? You take his money..."
"What he gave me is mine. I will take the rest away from him when the time comes. When I get married, I will think of ways to make money. Sister, you can help me then, and life will be better in the future."
"Yes." Su Qingliu nodded heavily, looking forward to a better life in the future.
"He seems to be a good person."
"Yes. He doesn't look bad."
"Then you live a good life with him."
"Yes."
"You should live a good life with your sister as well."
"Okay, we will live a good life together then."
"Okay."
