Chapter 1537: Chapter 1536: Timid as a Mouse
Su Yunjin was taken aback.
“Second Sister, you’re saying that Big Brother agreed?” Su Yunjin was certain that her elder brother, Su Muze, still harbored feelings for Xiao Yu. She initially thought that if Second Sister Su Ningxiu spoke to Big Brother about matchmaking at this time, Big Brother would refuse. Su Yunjin did not expect that Big Brother would actually consent to the Second Sister’s suggestion.
And he was quite pleased with Guo Qiulan from the Gu Family village.
Su Yunjin remained silent, while Su Ningxiu’s face beamed with joy, “Little Sister, I’ve already thought it through. Since Big Brother likes Miss Guo, when my husband returns from the Rice Shop in town, I will let him visit the Guo Family to test the waters.” With the chilly weather and the New Year upon them, business at Wangji Rice Shop was slow, so Wang Meng and his wife Su Ningxiu decided to close the shop and not do business. By now, most of the villagers had finished celebrating the New Year.
With more people going to town to make purchases, Wang Meng decided to reopen Wangji Rice Shop. Last year, if Wang Meng went to the shop to work, Su Ningxiu would have to accompany him. Even though Su Ningxiu couldn’t help with other tasks, she could at least collect the Silver and do the accounting.
However, now Su Ningxiu was busy with Big Brother’s matrimonial matters, so she let Wang Meng go to town alone, while she stayed home to arrange a marriage for Su Muze.
“Little Sister, do you have objections to Miss Guo?” Seeing that Su Yunjin did not seem too delighted, Su Ningxiu probed with a question.
Su Yunjin shook her head. She had met Guo Qiulan several times. Though Su Yunjin claimed no other skill, she was confident in her ability to read people.
Guo Qiulan seemed honest and not someone with ulterior motives. It was for this reason that Su Yunjin was unwilling to let her Big Brother wrong another girl.
Now that her Big Brother still had Xiao Yu in his heart, if he were to marry Guo Qiulan at this juncture, would he end up being unfair to her in the future? “Second Sister, I think Big Brother still holds some thoughts about that Miss Xiao. If we push him towards Miss Guo now, what if he ends up wronging someone in the future?”
“Little Sister, I think you worry too much. Even if our Big Brother still harbors some thoughts about Xiao Yu, he has been so terribly deceived by her that he’s already disappointed. Big Brother liked Xiao Yu because he had never liked another woman before, which made it easy for Xiao Yu to trick him. Once Big Brother truly gets together with Miss Guo, he surely won’t think about Xiao Yu anymore.” Su Ningxiu believed that Big Brother would definitely find happiness with Guo Qiulan.
Su Yunjin remained silent, neither agreeing nor disputing Su Ningxiu’s words. After a moment of silence, Su Yunjin said, “Second Sister, perhaps you do have a point. Then let’s do this! You handle this matter for Big Brother. If Miss Guo also takes a liking to him, it would mean that Big Brother and Miss Guo are fated to be together, which would not be a bad thing.”
Su Ningxiu was very concerned about Su Muze’s affairs and dragged Wang Meng to the Guo Family the very same day. As for Mrs. Zhang, she wanted to sneak a peek at the new money-making methods of Su Yunjin and others? She secretly went with Gu Baofu to the spot where they were digging the ice cellar, as Gu Baofu was faint-hearted.
“You hag, why are you causing trouble with Third Brother and his wife again? I think we should just forget about it. Now Third Brother and his wife have the backing of Prince Rui Residence, and there is a future Little Princess in their home! Don’t get into trouble again. Haven’t you learned from past lessons?” Gu Baofu was ready to flee the scene and tried to pull Mrs. Zhang back.
With a slap on Gu Baofu’s head, Mrs. Zhang scolded, “You worthless thing, just look at your cowardly behavior. No wonder you can’t make money. I didn’t bring you here today to cause trouble; we are here to become rich. What a fool!” Disgusted, she finished scolding and spat at Gu Baofu.
