Seeing her come in, Grandma Su sat up straighter, "Why are you here?"
She patted the bedside, motioning Su Ziling to sit there.
Su Ziling sat down, with his head down, looking a little unhappy.
She didn't say anything, and Grandma Su didn't urge her, just waited for her to speak.
for a long time.
"Grandma, why do you like Lu Yan so much? Do you really want me to get married?"
Her voice was low, flat, and calm, and no emotion could be heard from her voice. But even so, Grandma Su knew that she was really unhappy.
Grandma Su sat a little further away and gently stroked her head. "Silly girl, why would Grandma want you to get married?"
"Grandma, I wish you could stay by my side forever."
Hearing her words, Su Ziling looked up at her with accusatory eyes, as if to say, "If you don't want her to get married, why do you keep trying to match her up with Lu Yan?"
Normally I just thought that everyone in my family liked him very much, until what happened this morning. At first I didn’t think there was anything wrong, but on the way back, the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong.
Grandma Su has never been one to meddle in other people's affairs, let alone Lu Yan, and it's a major event in his life.
I came to my senses later, so I have been in a bad mood ever since. I wasn’t really angry with Lu Yan, or maybe it was half and half.
What's more, she felt sad, sad that Grandma Su, Mother Su and the others all sided with Lu Yan.
They thought that maybe she had made money and her family business was doing well, so everyone wanted to marry her off.
Grandma Su sighed and gently embraced her, "Girl, how could Grandma hurt you?"
She murmured, "You won't harm me. You keep trying to match me up with Lu Yan. I can see it all!"
Grandma Su didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Do you think getting married will harm you?"
Seeing the words "not so good" written in her eyes, Grandma Su raised her hand and tapped her forehead, "You girl." Her tone was full of doting.
She patted her back gently and spoke to her patiently, "Grandma knows that you are very capable, your mother knows, your grandfather knows, and everyone in the family knows that you are the one who built up this huge family business. That's why we like Xiao Lu more."
"You have submitted the planting method or something that the county magistrate asked you to write. I guess he will come to you soon. From now on, the things you do will become bigger and bigger. As your skills grow, your business will also grow bigger. It is inevitable that you will be targeted by those who have ulterior motives."
"Our family has been civilians for generations, unarmed. If those people really want to do something, we can't protect you."
"But Xiao Lu can. I can see that he is also a capable person. He has also told grandma the truth. He has helped our family so much and saved you several times."
"After grandma and grandpa are gone, we will feel more at ease if he protects you. Grandma doesn't say that she can trust everyone. Xiao Lu is a good person, upright, lively, hardworking, and good at martial arts. Most importantly, he has a good relationship with the county magistrate."
"If anything happens in the future, his connections can be used. Even if he can't protect the Su family, he is more than enough to protect you. Grandma has never been wrong in judging people in her life."
"It's about your uncle. Everyone said he took the money from me to do business, but that's not true. He broke into the lock and stole it when we were not at home."
"You must be curious about why grandma didn't explain the rumors outside. The silver was stolen and they left. What's the point of explaining? Besides, your eldest brother wasn't married at that time. If he had a father who stole, how would the villagers see him?"
"What else can he say to his wife? So instead of telling others that they stole the silver and ran away, it's better to let them think that grandma was cheated. Grandma is old, it's normal for her to make mistakes, but your eldest brother can't do that. He has a sullen temper. If this happens, his life will be over."
"Those involved are often confused, but those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly. You only see him bickering with you all day long, but you don't see the other things he does. Xiao Lu, he does much more than you know."
"Grandma, how do you know so much?" Su Ziling didn't expect that Grandma Su knew so much.
What she didn't expect was that so many strange things happened in the valley, but Su Zizhong never told her about it, and Twenty also kept silent about it, let alone other people.
"What else do you think? There are so many stalls in the valley. As you sell more and more, it will become a street. There are so many people coming and going every day. Seeing that the valley is full of women, it is inevitable that some people will have some thoughts."
"In addition to the twenty you saw, Xiao Lu also found other people to help. Of course, he didn't let me tell you about this. There was also the county. He happened to save you when you were bullied. Later, the restaurant across the street kept causing trouble. Do you know why everything was fine after that?"
Su Ziling was stunned for a moment, "Aren't Eighteen and the others in charge?"
Grandma Su nodded her head. "Having them in charge is one thing, having the county magistrate watching is another, but the more important thing is that Lu Yan took action. Otherwise, the county magistrate would not be able to keep an eye on them. If they really start making trouble, the Eighteen can handle it, but it's not possible for everything to go smoothly forever, right?"
"And there's the matter of Erniu."
Su Ziling was even more surprised. "What happened to Erniu? Could it be that he was involved in my becoming a disciple?"
"That's not true," Su Ah-nai shook her head. "He found a lot of books for him from Shangjing, as well as the notes of the masters."
"He didn't even tell me." Su Ziling curled her lips. She thought she knew enough, but she didn't expect that grandma knew even more. She also didn't expect that Lu Yan had done so much quietly.
"He said that he didn't tell you because he was afraid that you would have a psychological burden, that you would become distant, or that you would think he had ulterior motives."
"He told you, so you're not afraid now that you're telling me?"
Grandma Su smiled and said, "He told you so that you can rest assured and let him take care of you."
Su Ziling lowered his head, unable to see the expression in his eyes. "See, I told you he was a man of deep thoughts! He knew my way wouldn't work, so he went your way."
"What about my mother? Does she know too?"
Grandma Su shook her head, "She doesn't know."
"Don't know?" Su Ziling raised his voice a little, "Don't you know that she still likes Lu Yan so much? It's like he's her own son."
Su A Nai: "..."
"She may have seen that Xiao Lu is good and outstanding. She has been worried about your marriage for a long time. She is not satisfied with any of the people in the surrounding villages. Now she finally finds someone she is satisfied with."
Su Ziling: "..."
good good!
Su A-nai was planning for the long term and thought he was good in all aspects, while Su A-niang was just there simply because Lu Yan was... handsome and good-looking!
Thinking of this, Su Ziling couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Are you not angry anymore?" Grandma Su touched her head.
"How could grandma really want to marry you off? If you really don't like it, that's fine. We won't get married. Grandma will be with you, and your mother and the others won't really force you to get married. We just want you to live a good life."
"They didn't want me to get married but they tried to match me up with Lu Yan. His family is so far away!"
"How far is it?" Grandma Su raised her eyebrows.
"It's just a few steps away. After you get married, you can live here if you want. If you want to live next door, you can live next door. We'll be watching over you, and no one will dare to bully you."
