500 Agree
Su Sanlang sighed. He looked at Su Chong and asked calmly, “Chong, are you serious? Have you really decided?”
“Lin Yaoyao is so much older than you. Have you really decided to marry her?”
Every word Su Sanlang asked was heavy.
Su Sanlang could not help but hold Madam Zhao’s hand from under the table to reassure her.
Su Chong did not flinch. He looked at Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao and said firmly, “Yes, I want to marry her. I want to marry her. Father, Mother, please fulfill my wish.”!!
There were indescribable emotions in Su Sanlang’s heart. For a moment, he did not know how to face such a stubborn son.
Madam Zhao’s eyes were filled with anxiety. She frowned and asked, “Chong, did Teacher Lin and the others agree? You and Yaoyao are almost ten years apart. This isn’t just your wish.”
Su Chong pursed his lips and smiled. “Father, Mother, if she wasn’t willing and Master agreed, why would I say it?”
Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao were both stunned. The couple held hands tightly and looked at each other. Only then did Su Sanlang say to Su Chong, “Chong, this is no small matter. Can you let Father and Mother think about it?”
Su Chong nodded. “Okay.”
Su Chong got up and returned to his room.
Su Xiaolu and Su Xiaoling also returned to their room quietly.
Su Hua sat quietly without moving.
Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao looked at him. Su Sanlang asked calmly, “Hua, did you already know?”
Su Hua nodded. “I’ve known for a while.”
After he took office, he had people he could use. He discovered it when he was investigating the various forces in the imperial court. He followed the clues and discovered that Su Chong was involved.
Madam Zhao sighed.
Su Sanlang also sighed softly.
Su Hua said, “Father, Mother, we can’t stop Eldest Brother. Eldest Brother doesn’t like Senior Sister on impulse. Master’s family has long known about what Father and Mother are worried about. They were also worried. They tested Eldest Brother and only revealed their wishes to him after the test. Eldest Brother’s heart is very firm.”
“Senior Sister is much older than him, but love is love. I hope that Big Brother can live a happy life. I know what Father and Mother are worried about. I’ll bear the responsibility of continuing the Su family’s lineage. If Senior Sister can give birth to a son or a daughter, it’ll be even better. If not, as long as she and Big Brother love each other, my son will naturally bear the responsibility of being their son and send them off in the future.”
Su Hua said firmly. He expressed his determination to Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao.
“You’re all grown up and are sensible. There’s no need for Father and Mother to worry. Father and Mother believe that both of you understand what you’re doing. Father and Mother won’t stop him from doing this. Your eldest brother isn’t young anymore and has resolved even greater problems. Father and Mother won’t stop him. Don’t worry. Father and Mother will send a letter to Teacher Lin in a few days.”
Madam Zhao said gently. She could not bear to stop him and make her child lonely and sad.
They were just too surprised.
Su Hua was very steady. He lowered his head and said, “Thank you, Father and Mother. It’s our blessing to be your children.”
Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao smiled and went back to their room.
After returning to their room, Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao sat down at the table.
After pondering for a while, Su Sanlang pulled Madam Zhao’s hand and said softly, “It’s quite good. Yaoyao is mature and sensible. Chong won’t have to worry about the house in the future.”
Madam Zhao sighed. “It’s quite good.”
They all acknowledged that Lin Yaoyao was very good, but this was different from being a daughter-in-law.
Lin Yaoyao was knowledgeable and proud. Many women envied her, but there were also many women who looked down on her and felt that it was useless for her to study so much because she couldn’t get married.
Madam Zhao’s heart ached for these words. She also hoped that Lin Yaoyao could spend the rest of her life with someone she loved.
However, this person was her son. As a mother, she had to consider more.
Whether Lin Yaoyao could still have children, whether she could put down her arrogance and be a considerate woman, and so on.
What she was most worried about was that Lin Yaoyao might not be able to have children. Without children, she would be the biggest topic of discussion. She knew very well how unpleasant the words of others behind her back were. Could Lin Yaoyao withstand these? Could Chong withstand them?
It would be a lie to say that he did not care. No one did not care. Humans had feelings. If they had feelings, they would be hurt by words.
“Darling, there’s no need to be so worried. Have you forgotten that when Little Xing was born, Sister-in-law was not young anymore?”
Su Sanlang patted Madam Zhao’s shoulder gently.
When Madam Qian gave birth to Chen Xing, she was already in her thirties. Moreover, before this, she had already given birth to Chen Daniu, Chen Erniu, and Chen Shi, so Lin Yaoyao might be able to give birth to a son or a daughter.
“I was thinking too much. You’re right. Let’s send a letter to Teacher Lin as soon as possible so that he and Yaoyao can get married as soon as possible. Last year, he said that he had someone he liked. It must be Yaoyao. It wasn’t easy for him to get Teacher Lin’s family’s approval. We’re his parents, so we shouldn’t stop him.”
Madam Zhao smiled slightly. After calming down and thinking about it, she could not do anything to stop him.
The person in Su Chong’s heart was Lin Yaoyao. How could she bear to stop him?
The couple looked at each other and smiled, deciding on their feelings.
The next day, the couple got Su Hua to write a letter on their behalf. In the letter, they expressed their intention to propose to Lin Pingsheng and Madam Chen. They promised the same betrothal gift as Su Hua’s engagement, Sun Baoqian, to express how important this marriage was to them.
Su Sanlang handed the letter to Su Chong and asked him to deliver it.
Su Chong did not say anything. He just knelt down and kowtowed three times to Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao. He knew that his parents agreed because they doted on him too much.
Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao helped Su Chong up. Madam Zhao said gently, “Go quickly.”
Her son had grown up to be so outstanding. What was there to be dissatisfied about?
The hardest thing about life was to listen to one’s heart and do things. This world was already difficult enough for her children. As parents, if they were to make things more difficult for them, wouldn’t it be too harsh?
Su Chong smiled, his eyes were filled with joy. He nodded heavily, then got up and ran out quickly.
Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao also smiled.
Su Sanlang held Madam Zhao’s hand tightly and said gently, “It’s good to see the children well.”
Madam Zhao nodded.
The couple went out together, and both of them looked happy.
On the way, Madam Qian asked softly, “Sister-in-law, you’re smiling non-stop today. Did something good happen?”
Chen Hu took a look and realized that Su Sanlang was also smiling. He couldn’t help but ask, “Big Brother, what happened?”
Su Sanlang smiled and nodded. “Yes. Chong is getting engaged soon.”
Chen Hu and Madam Qian were also happy to hear that. Madam Qian immediately asked, “Whose daughter is it?”
Madam Zhao smiled and said to Madam Qian, “You all know her. She’s none other than Teacher Lin’s daughter, Lin Yaoyao.”
