Chapter 95 Su Mei's Prayer

Su Mei curled her lips, "I don't want to just marry anyone. Even if I marry, I have to be like Su Tang marrying a son from a rich family."

"You girl, there is still a son from a rich family. Your mother and I also hope that you will have such good luck, but you don't look at your own attire. You look like a poor girl from a poor family. Which rich man can look up to you?" Xiao Lu satirized her daughter without saving any face, and touched the celadon vase casually.

Su Mei's face turned pale, "Are you my mother? Why have I never heard my aunt say that about Su Tang and the others? Hmph, why would I be born in your womb? If I could be born in my aunt's How good it would be in my stomach, now I am also a girl from a rich family, I have a servant girl to serve me, and a servant to drive a carriage when I go out..."

"Damn! It's your good fortune to be born in my stomach. I was working in the fields when I was pregnant with you. I fell and almost dropped you on a rainy day. You can be content."

Hearing this, Liu smiled and came in from the corner of the screen at the door. In fact, she had been listening outside for a long time, and now she couldn't bear it anymore. The mother and daughter chattered endlessly, so they walked out and followed Behind her is Su Jin and Xiao He.

Seeing their mother and daughter appear, Mrs. Lu greeted them with a smile, and warmly took Mrs. Liu's hand, "Your family is so rich now, you really look like a big family, sister-in-law, we haven't seen each other for a long time, I This time I’m not in a hurry to go back, I’ll just stay with you for a few days.”

Mrs. Liu pulled her hand back indiscriminately, and looked at her indifferently, "I have nothing else to say if the second sibling wants to stay, but can you do it if you don't go home? Can Qing girl do it at home by herself? Besides, our If mother-in-law finds out that you left her at home and comes to live here by herself, I'm afraid you will go back..."

Xiao Lu smiled awkwardly, how did Liu know that she came here without telling her mother-in-law?What the hell!

The two of them were talking, when a slender servant girl came in with tea, brought the teacup to the table in an orderly manner, and then retreated quietly.Xiao Lu's eyes were straightened, and she thought to herself that what was said outside was correct, and the elder brother's family really made a fuss.

Su Jin sat on the side and watched the performance of the mother and daughter. Following Su Mei's gaze, she felt a little uneasy. This Su Mei is not a well-behaved person, and she hates the poor and loves the rich, and she is extremely jealous. This time, following Xiao Lu's family to come to my house, there will definitely not be any good things.

"Sister-in-law, look at your family's grandeur, and there are maids serving it. It's completely different from when you opened the steamed stuffed bun shop. Your Tang girl married so well again, and Shuang girl is not young anymore. I don't know who to marry." ?”

Mrs. Liu didn't know the purpose of her visit this time, and now she was just going along with it, which was a trick. "Our Shuang'er is cold-tempered, and we don't want to marry too early. Besides, Tang'er got married, and the family is deserted a lot. I want to stay for a few more years, Shuang'er. Anyway, people like us don't have to worry about our daughter not being able to get married. What's more, my daughter's appearance and talent are there, so I can't find someone else." Liu said that she was full of confidence, worried that her girl would not get married?Just a joke, let's worry about your daughter, who would have thought that she would fall into someone's trap for saying this.

Xiao Lu smiled, took a big sip of tea, rubbed his hands together and said, "Sister-in-law, speaking of it, we are a family, but we got stuck because of some misunderstanding. Yes, people say that one family does not speak two different languages, no matter what, we are a family, not to mention that my mother-in-law is still alive, we should support each other, right?"

He must have come to ask for money again, Liu Shi was quite helpless, knowing that this little Lu family would go to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing, "Sister and sister, you are not here to ask for pension money for your mother-in-law, are you? It is true that in the second half of the year Yes, didn’t your eldest brother give you 100 taels during the Chinese New Year? This time we will also give you 100 taels, Jin’er, go get some silver and give it to your second aunt.”

Su Jin giggled, took out her purse and took out a bank note, "You don't need to go get it, I have it here, give it to Second Aunt first."

When Xiao Lu saw the silver, she took it over in a hurry, looked at it anyway, and stuffed it into her bosom. Seeing her like this, Liu said hurriedly: "This is the old-age money for mother-in-law. Brother and sister can take it. , if my mother-in-law asks for it again, I won’t give it to you.” It means that you don’t want to be corrupt, and I will tell your mother-in-law that I have given you the money.

Hearing her words, Xiao Lu's face darkened, and just about to say something, Su Mei touched her arm, coughed and smiled, "Well, I didn't come here for this today .”

"Hey, why did the second aunt come here? Since it's not for the money, then give it back to me first. It just so happens that my silver ticket is still useful." Su Zhen hurriedly stretched out her hand to tease her, thinking But she clearly knew that the second aunt was the one who would only go in when she saw money, and would not go out.

Sure enough, Mrs. Lu hurriedly moved away from her with a smile, and looked at Mrs. Liu in a blink of an eye, "Sister-in-law, the reason I came today is to ask you to make a marriage arrangement for Maid Mei."

Suddenly, Liu's smile became more sincere, "Yes, Mei'er is not young anymore. If I remember correctly, she should have been with Tang'er for a year, right? But it was a little later than Tang'er's birth date." It's time to talk about marriage." After thinking for a while, he said, "Now there is a suitable one, that is, my natal sister-in-law's nephew, named Jiang Run, who sells tofu in our tofu shop, and is about the same age as Mei girl. He is also honest and honest, I think he is a good match, what do you think? If it suits me, I will let him come, and you guys will meet."

As soon as they heard that they were selling tofu in a tofu shop, the expressions of Su Mei and Xiao Lu immediately changed, and Xiao Lu curled her lips, "How can that be done? He is just a tofu seller, how can he be worthy of our family?" What about Mei girl, no way."

"The younger brother and sister, what kind of person do you want to find for Mei girl? Come on, let me just ask Mei girl, what kind of person do you want to find? You tell the auntie, and the auntie will pay attention to you." Liu said helplessly. asked.

Su Mei looked at Xiao Lu, then at Su Jin, and suddenly said, "Auntie, do you want me to be your daughter?"

Mrs. Liu was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "What nonsense are you talking about, kid, your mother is still here, besides, I already have four daughters, and I don't need another one."

Hearing this, Su Jin became a little anxious, hurriedly pulled her mother, laughed and said: "My mother means that sister Mei, you will hurt Second Aunt's heart like this."

Unexpectedly, Su Mei still heard it, and only asked: "Don't you have three daughters? How come you have four? When will you have another daughter?"

Liu who asked this question was speechless, "This..."

"My mother has long recognized Xiang Wan, the daughter of the tailor shop in the east of the city, as her goddaughter, so there are four daughters." Su Jin quickly came to her mother's rescue.

Xiao Lu didn't care about these things, but said: "Actually, I think this idea is good. Besides, what is the difference between my daughter and your daughter? I just said that we are a family. What is yours and mine? Since Meier said so, I, as a mother, have no objection. What is there for you as an uncle? Wouldn’t it be a good thing to pick such a big daughter for nothing? Wait for you to give She found a good marriage and married her in a splendid manner, wouldn't she be able to repay you?"

What you said is correct, but I'm afraid that she won't remember me as an uncle at all, but will miss you as a mother instead, so I won't be able to get anything?Liu Shi was depressed and was about to refuse, but she knew that if she refused too simply, wouldn't it hurt Mei girl's heart?So I don't know what to say for a while.

"I don't agree," Su Jin stood up and walked to her mother, shaking her mother's arm, "Mother, I don't agree, I already have two older sisters, and I don't need another one, besides, the second aunt said it was for me You married Sister Mei in a good manner, but why is it called Fengguangguang? Second Aunt and Sister Mei don’t think they are treated the same as my eldest sister, do they?”

Who would have thought that Xiao Lu really nodded his head, causing Su Jin to be stunned for a while, only thinking that this person's face is really a bit too thick.

"Do you know that when my eldest sister got married last year, she was a red makeup? Take out all our family assets, my second sister has also reached the age of marriage, and my parents are desperately saving her dowry. I gave it to Sister Mei, so what should my second sister do? Besides, why should my family’s things be given to Sister Mei who was born to my second aunt? Why didn’t my second aunt give it to her herself?” This is a bit childish, but sometimes there are some words for grown-ups It's hard to say, but children have no taboos when they say it, and no one has the nerve to find fault with it.

After what she said, Su Mei's face blushed again and again. After a long silence, she said in a low voice with a hint of pleading, "Auntie really doesn't want me? I don't want red makeup. I just want to marry into a good family, like Sister Tang, who will not worry about food and clothing in the future, uncle, if I am really your daughter, don’t you want me to marry into a rich family? I’m just not you Born, but we are still a family, can't you pity your poor niece?"

These words are full of emotion, Su Mei's eyes are red, Liu Shi can't bear to get up, but it's too outrageous for her to be her own daughter, not to mention that I can't agree, even the head of the family will not agree , Mrs. Liu thought for a while and said: "Girl Mei, it's not that my aunt doesn't want you to be her daughter, but... you are so old, you are no longer a child, this is definitely not possible, even your uncle will not agree to it." Yes, but my aunt promised you that I will help you find out, and if there is a suitable one, I will tell you, okay?"

After hearing this, Su Mei felt that Liu Shi was trying to evade, and she would definitely not help her, because it was impossible for any young man to marry a poor girl like herself, and she immediately felt that there was no hope at all. , stood up, turned around and ran out, Xiao Lu didn't care about what to say, just sighed, and hurriedly chased after him.
