After selling myself, I became the head of the family

Chapter 14 Errands
  After dinner, Aunt Zhang, the head of the Zhang family, sat at the table with her husband and son and talked about what was on their mind.

"Ruo'an, I'm asking you, what do you think of Yueyue?"

Aunt Zhang's straightforward words made Zhang Ruoan lower his head in embarrassment.

"Child, what are you doing?"

Zhang Haotian was dumbfounded when he heard his wife's words, and it took him a long time to stutter out such a question.

Su Laoer had just left not long ago. Logically speaking, that girl Lai Yueyue had to observe mourning for at least one year before getting married.

Why is my wife talking about this now?
  "Don't worry."

Aunt Zhang patted the back of his hand angrily, and then turned to look at Zhang Ruo'an aside.

"Ruo'an, tell me what you think?"

Zhang Ruoan felt a little uncomfortable, but he also knew that it was extremely difficult for his mother to come over and ask him about this matter today. If he continued to be coy and didn't say what was in his heart, it would be difficult to say anything in the future.

"I like Yueyue."

The tips of the young man's ears were red, but his eyes were very firm.

The two of them grew up together, and he could see Yueyue's kindness most clearly.

When I was a child, my father and mother were always very busy, and Aunt Feng would ask Yueyue to invite me to her house for dinner.

They had been fishing in rivers and hunting birds together since they were young, and they had grown up together. He liked the girl who had two little pear dimples on her cheeks when she smiled.

"Then have you ever thought about it. Now that Yueyue's father has passed away, leaving only four of them, mother and daughter. Not only is the family's livelihood in question, but there is also an old Su family who is eyeing them. Do you think you can protect them? Can you get her?
  Now you are the only one in their family, Aunt Feng, who can support the family. From now on, it is Yueyue. If she really marries you, what about their family?

Are you asking Aunt Feng to take care of two children by yourself and support the family? "

Aunt Zhang always speaks straightforwardly, even if the person sitting opposite her is her son.

His family is indeed living a good life, and he can even help take care of them on weekdays. But if his son really likes Yueyue, then what ability does he have to guarantee that he can give Yueyue a happy and stable life?
  Zhang Ruoan hasn't thought about that yet.

He always felt that everything would turn around, but he never thought that if he really married Yueyue, what would Aunt Feng and the others do?

Can he really protect them?
  "Your father and I can still work now, and we can indeed support your education. Your Aunt Feng's family was kind to me and your father in the past, and we will not just sit idly by and watch. But what do you plan to do in the future?

Do you spend your whole life digging for food in the fields like your father and I? "

What Aunt Zhang said made Zhang Ruoan purse his lips tightly.

What grandma said is indeed true.

I don’t have any skills, and now is indeed the most difficult time for Yueyue’s family.

Seeing his silence, Aunt Zhang softened her tone and said, "It's not that I don't like Yueyue. On the contrary, I think that girl Yueyue is smart and filial. But I just want to tell you that something happened at Yueyue's family now." , you must not underestimate her too much.

Yueyue is a good girl. If you want to marry her, you must first see what you can do so that Yueyue can live a good life in the future, you know? "

Zhang Ruoan was silent for a while and nodded.

What my grandma said makes perfect sense.

"Auntie, I want to go to college. I will study hard and come back with a top score."

The young man's eyes were full of determination, and Aunt Zhang felt only relieved.

"Next month you are going to go to the academy in the town. My mother-in-law also told you that she will not stop you and Yueyue, but you must not despise her because she has no father now. Got a girl.

If you go to the academy, study hard. Aniang won’t force you to come back with a top score. She just hopes that you will be able to support yourself in the future. Yueyue is a good child, and Aniang and Daddy will naturally help you. I love you Aunt Feng, but you have to promise me that you must study harder. After the one-year filial piety period is over, if you succeed in your studies, I will hire you from the Su family.

Are you willing? "

"My son is willing." The young man stood up, full of fighting spirit.

Studying hard is not for Yueyue, but because he feels that Yueyue deserves the best. He wants to work hard to get the number one scholar, and then let Yueyue be the wife of the number one scholar!

The young man returned to the house, leaving only Zhang Haotian and Aunt Zhang sitting in the main room.

"My dear, do you really think so?"

Zhang Haotian felt strange and asked with a slight frown.

In fact, if you really want to talk about it, that girl Yueyue is carrying a burden now.

Whoever marries her in the future will definitely have to subsidize her natal family.

Didn’t my wife-in-law dislike this the most?
  "Otherwise?" Aunt Zhang rolled her eyes at him and poured herself another bowl of tea and water.

"Yueyue is a good girl. We used to be busy working, and Ruoan often went to other people's homes to eat and drink. Later, when I got sick, it was Shuzhen who often came to take care of me. We can't just because their family is in trouble. Adding insult to injury.

It's just that Yueyue is a smart girl, and I don't know if our Ruoan can be worthy of her. "

Zhang Haotian became a little unhappy when he heard his wife say this.

My son looks good, has a good physique, and is good at studying. Why is he not good enough for Yueyue?

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Aunt Zhang snorted softly, "If you don't believe it, just wait. Yueyue will definitely be awesome in the future."

Aunt Zhang was speaking from her heart.

Since the last time she discovered that the wound on Su Yueyue's arm was made by herself, she was also shocked for two days and could not recover.

At first I felt scared.

After all, this child is only fourteen years old and is willing to do such a heavy hand to him. Who can not be afraid?
  But after thinking about it carefully for a while, she began to admire the child again.

In the past, their family was sucked by the Su family's old house, and this little girl could still protect her two younger sisters. Now that Su Laoer is gone, leaving only four of them, mother and daughter, what can the little girl do?
  They can only think of ways to make the matter the biggest, and then completely separate their home from the old house.

It's a pity that they failed to seize the opportunity last time, and their lives will be very difficult in the future.

Such a smart child doesn't want to think bad things about her.

My son is too honest. If he can really marry Su Yueyue, it would actually be good.

"The child's father."

Suddenly thinking of something, Aunt Zhang turned to look at Zhang Haotian who was preparing to go back to the house to sleep.

"what happened?"

Zhang Haotian went to the village next door to help repair the house today. He had been tired all day and just wanted to go back to the house to sleep. When he heard his wife calling him, he could only yawn and ask.

"Do you have a cousin who works in town?"

Unexpectedly, she would suddenly ask this question, and Zhang Haotian yawned.

"Yes, I remember that the academy that Ruo An was going to was in charge of, it should be, it should be the canteen that he was in charge of, cooking for those children."

Zhang Haotian scratched his head and thought carefully.

"You said we can let Shuzhen help in the kitchen, do you think that's okay? Although the salary may be a little low, it is enough for her to support the family."

"I don't know about that. I'll ask in two days."

He was so sleepy that Zhang Haotian only promised to ask him in a few days. Knowing that the matter was not urgent, Aunt Zhang did not ask further questions and just asked him to remember some things.
