Chapter 184 Grandma Urges Marriage
After paying the money, Su He quickly asked Liu Bai to call the men in the family to move the goods.
She took her women relatives to pick out cloth. Seeing the shopkeeper still standing there watching, she deliberately took out the three pieces that were the most moldy.
"Girl, what did I say? You can't buy moldy things. Look, 30 cents is wasted."
Grandma suddenly became dramatic and patted Su He's arm twice.
"Where's the shopkeeper? I'll go find him!"
The cloth shop owner ran away, not even staying in his shop, and called his son to look after the shop. He hid on the side and waited for the gang to leave before going back.
Su He covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "He's gone."
"Hurry, go move them in. Except for these three which are completely unusable, the others are basically good. These are enough for everyone in our group to make four or five sets of clothes. They are good enough to wear when we work on the farm at home."
Su He took the scissors and trimmed the moldy parts of the remaining fabric, leaving only the intact parts.
By the time Wang Fugui and his men came in, Su He and his men had already finished trimming the hair, and there were still 45 pieces left. Wang Fugui and his men each carried three pieces, and each of the women carried one piece, and they were all swept away in no time.
Su He went to the front to return the scissors and left. As for the moldy fabrics, Su He just left them there without caring about them. She only said to move them out, but didn't say to throw them into the trash.
Wang Fugui took the lead in moving the cloth onto the boat, and everyone happily distributed the cloth. Each family took what they needed and paid Su He with copper coins.
Suho didn't put the coins away, they had lunch right at the dock, and used all the coins. 74 people filled the seats in the three stalls.
This is the lunch spot that Su He had long had his eyes on. This fish soup shop has a good business. The fish soup in the pot is milky white, topped with green onions and some shredded carrots. It is delicious and looks great.
Su He ordered a bowl of white rice, poured delicious fish soup on it, and didn't need to order any other dishes. He just picked up his chopsticks and ate it all.
"Old Yu, give me another bowl of fish soup. I'll go next door and buy two pancakes. These will taste good with the fish soup."
Su He imitated the old customers and shouted to the shop owner, then went to the next door pancake stall and bought 20 white flour pancakes.
Su He gave a few to each family and brought five back for himself. He took out one, broke off a small half, dipped it in the hot fish soup, and then put it in his mouth.
Well, it’s a delicious delicacy.
The family members around saw Su He enjoying the meal and followed suit. Soon all 20 pancakes were eaten. Su He generously bought 20 more to share with everyone, and she also bought 30 more white flour pancakes for herself.
After 20 minutes, everyone was full.
Su He stood up, paid the money, and then stood on the dock to stroll around and digest his food. Everyone followed him and walked back and forth until the boat was about to leave, and then they all rushed on board.
After boarding the ship, Zhou led people to clean the dust from the cloth. Since the cloth had been divided, everyone gathered around to sort it out. Zhou also followed Jin and Ma to cut the cloth and make clothes.
Only Dali's family was in an awkward situation. They only had a sick grandmother at home. The enthusiastic grandmother took the little grandmother to help. The grandmother smiled at the two brothers and began to urge them to get married. "When we get there, we will find suitable girls for you two. You can't live without women in this family."
Grandma Dali sat on the bed and agreed on behalf of her two grandchildren, "My two sisters, please help look after each other. I am the one who has held them back. I only hope that I can see them get married before I die. And that the eldest girl can have someone to take care of her. I will be willing to die for this."
"Grandma, don't say such things. We can live a good life in the future."
Dali frowned, not wanting his grandmother to say such an unlucky thing.
Grandma Dali wiped her tears and calmed down with the comfort of her grandmothers and others.
Grandma couldn't convince Su He and Yan Zhi, but now that she saw the two brothers asking her to find a partner, she suddenly became excited. She didn't even bother to cut her clothes and grabbed Dali and asked them what they wanted in a wife. Erli blushed when he was asked and took the opportunity to hide away. Dali already had experience, so he was very calm at this time, "As long as I can live a stable life, it's fine. Please worry about me, Grandma Sun."
Grandma patted her chest and promised to find a good one for him.
Wang Laowu strolled over and saw the whole process. When Erli ran out, he almost bumped into Wang Laowu, "I'm sorry, Uncle Laowu, I didn't see it."
"It's okay, hehe, go ahead."
Wang Laowu patted Erli's shoulder with a friendly look and went to Wang Laoliu's box.
"Lao Liu, come here!"
Wang Laoliu glanced at his brother and had no intention of getting up.
Wang Laowu was not angry. He leaned over and whispered in Wang Laoliu's ear.
"You mean Huahua and Dali?"
Wang Laoliu's eyes lit up and he stood up immediately.
"Let's go ask Auntie."
Wang Huahua was making clothes next door. She heard her father whispering to her uncle and came over to ask.
"Dad, did you tell Uncle Wu about me and Dali?"
Wang Laoliu walked out and saw that no one was paying attention, so he pulled his daughter in to discuss the matter in detail.
"Huahua, I was thinking that Gong'er's father has been gone for several years, and you can find another suitable one. Your fifth uncle thinks Dali is a good man, and you also know Da Niu, and their family is very kind. If you marry him, we will be so close, and your parents can still take care of you."
Wang Laoliu's words came from the bottom of his heart. Although he liked his son, he also cared about his daughter. Now that the family had money, he had the confidence to take care of his daughter.
Wang Laowu rarely quarreled with his younger brother and cooperated with him to persuade his niece.
"Huahua, what your father said makes sense. It's different to have a man at home to rely on. Your parents will feel relieved if you find a good home. Dali is from the same village as us. Our family was poor before, but now you are all rich, and you will live a good life in the future."
Wang Laoliu and his wife were overjoyed and felt that they had found a good son-in-law, but Wang Huahua refused without hesitation.
"Dad, Uncle Wu, I don't want to get married. I just want to raise Gonger and live a stable life in the future."
Wang Huahua has known Dali since she was a child. If she had feelings for him, she would not have married into another village.
Wang Laoliu was very anxious. Why was this girl so stubborn?
"Lanlan is still unmarried, Erli is a good man. If Lanlan gets married to him, you will get a son-in-law for free, and Lanlan will still be by your side."
Wang Laoliu was stunned for a moment. Yes, Lanlan was also old enough, but it was easy to find Lanlan, but it was quite difficult to find Huahua, a widow with a son and a mother-in-law.
"Huahua, have you thought it through? If Lanlan gets together with Erli, you won't be able to get married."
According to the custom here, sisters cannot marry into the same family.
Wang Huahua nodded firmly, "I've made up my mind, Dad. I won't get married. You can ask Lanlan."
