Farmer's Cannon Fodder: Listen to me, the whole family, change the plot

After getting the definite answer she wanted to hear, Old Mrs. Su ignored Song Xiuhe even more.

But she did not forget to take Su Laier away.

After all, the person who came to propose marriage was seeking Su Laier!

"Oh! Our Lai'er is really good!" Old Mrs. Su held Su Lai'er's hand tightly, her tone full of affection.

This was a feeling Su Laier had never experienced before.

In the more than ten years of Su Lai'er's life before her, the old lady Su she met always spoke harshly to her and was never willing to give her a good look.

Nowadays, even her younger brother Su Baolu seldom gets such affection. In the whole family, apart from the darling Su Fuzhu, only Su Baogui, the eldest grandson of the eldest son, can often get such treatment.

Su Lai'er was even a little nervous because it was the first time she received such treatment, and her palms were sweating.

She knew that the man who came to propose marriage was not the handsome young man she met at the Lotus Festival today, but this did not stop her from being excited and happy.

Because she never thought that she could do nothing and still fulfill the instructions given to her by Old Lady Su.

Catching a rich husband is not an easy task. She has also heard about how difficult it is for some girls in the village to find a good son-in-law. When she met Mu Yan at the Lotus Festival, he was not willing to pay attention to her. He thought that he had completely failed this time. If he wanted to find another opportunity to catch a rich husband, he would have to wait until next time.

But I didn't expect that it would be so easy to get.

There are really people sitting at home, and good things happen to them.

In an instant, she forgot about her biological father Su Xishan who became a living dead man, lying there and not knowing when he would wake up.

But it is also true that Su Xishan is the most patriarchal, and a large part of the reason why Song Xiuhe is becoming more and more patriarchal is because of him.

As the second branch’s original sin of favoring boys over girls, it is understandable that Su Laier quickly put his suffering behind him.

In this way, Su Laier was led to the main hall by the hand of Old Lady Su. She saw the four betrothal gifts neatly arranged in the hall, the old man sitting on a chair drinking water, and the most famous matchmaker in the town beside the old man. Only then did she feel that it was real that there really was a rich man proposing to marry her.

It was not her turn to speak in this kind of situation, so she stood shyly behind Old Lady Su, acting as if she would leave it to Old Lady Su to make the final decision.

Seeing her like this, Old Mrs. Su was very satisfied and gave her an approving look.

Then, Old Mrs. Su began to talk with the person proposing marriage.

"I heard that a young master from an outside family wants to marry my daughter? That would be a real honor for our Su family!"

Old Mrs. Su sat in the seat at the top and spoke to the old man who was drinking water with a smile on her face.

She looked at the expensive fabric on the old man's body that she had never seen before, and her smile became even more happy.

She had also heard of this family outside of the town. They were a well-known wealthy family in the town, and they were also an educated family.

Although they are not quite sure what their young master looks like or what characteristics he has, as long as he has money and status and is beneficial to their Su family, that's enough.

Therefore, Old Mrs. Su was extremely satisfied with this marriage.

She sat there grinning so hard that she missed the look of surprise and ridicule on the old man's face when he heard what she said.

"As for our Lai'er, I dare not say anything else, but she is the best in this area. Even the niece of Mr. Song next door cannot compare to our Lai'er! It is a great honor for Mr. Cheng to like our Lai'er! He really has a good eye..."

The old man didn't speak immediately, so Old Lady Su began to brag about herself.

Seeing that Old Lady Su's boasting was getting more and more outrageous, the old man with mocking eyes interrupted her:

"What are you talking about, old lady? How can my young master marry a country girl? These are just the money to buy a concubine."

"Buy a concubine!"

Old Mrs. Su was a little unhappy when she was interrupted abruptly, but because the person who interrupted her was the old man who came to propose marriage, she did not show it even if she was unhappy.

But when she heard the old man say that he came to the Su family with all this money and belongings not to propose marriage to Su Laier, but to buy Su Laier as a concubine, his voice suddenly rose.

"How could it be about buying a concubine?!" Old Mrs. Su was sure that she had not heard wrong, but she still asked unwillingly.

The old man sat calmly, glanced at Old Lady Su indifferently, and said in a light tone:

"Could it be that the old lady thinks that this yellow-haired girl of yours is still qualified to be my wife?"

The old woman obviously did not take Su Lai'er seriously. Even though Su Lai'er had a great chance of becoming his young master's concubine, she did not take it seriously at all.

"But……"

Old Mrs. Su was a little hesitant.

With Su Fuzhu, a lucky girl and darling, at home, when Old Lady Su wanted to send Su Laier out to catch a rich husband, she was full of confidence and felt that she would succeed and that Su Laier would be married off to a wealthy family in a grand sedan chair.

She had never thought of the option of "concubine".

Even though Su Lai'er is skinny and skinny, she has no talent.

Her mouth moved, she had a lot to say, but she didn't know where to start.

"Old lady." Although the old man looked down on the Su family and Su Lai'er, Su Lai'er was the new toy that Master Cheng specifically requested, so he couldn't mess this up: "If my young master didn't really like her, your Miss Lai'er wouldn't even be qualified to be a maid in my young master's room. You probably know the wealth of the Cheng family, but some opportunities only come once in a lifetime."

Listening to the old man's words, Old Mrs. Su wanted to say that their family was not much worse than the Cheng family, because they had a lucky daughter, Su Fuju!

But when she thought about it again, she found that compared with the Cheng family, their family was really inferior to the Cheng family in every way, except for her beloved Su Fuzhu.

"This..." Old Mrs. Su hesitated.

The old man saw Mrs. Su's hesitation, but he had to do what the young master had asked him to do today.

As soon as Old Lady Su and the others came into the main room, the old man noticed that they were staring at the four boxes of valuables.

So the old man took out thirty taels of silver and put it on the table beside him.

"These thirty taels of silver and these four boxes of property are already a very respectable gift to buy Miss Su Lai'er from your family as a concubine."

The originally agreed upon twenty taels became thirty taels, but Old Lady Su was still not excited enough, while Zhang Chuncao next to her had eyes shining brightly.

"Mother, agree to it!" Zhang Chuncao advised, "They are willing to pay thirty taels and four boxes of property! If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again! Su Lai'er is not our Fuzhu. If you miss this opportunity, who will be willing to pay a large price to marry her!?"

Old Mrs. Su was already wavering, and all she needed was someone to persuade her and make up her mind.

What Zhang Chuncao said was just right. After thinking about it, Old Mrs. Su realized that it was indeed true.

"Okay, I agree!" Old Mrs. Su agreed in a firm tone.
