Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

The Song family is my family's benefactor, and my family owes the Song family too much. Now that I say I want to marry Si Niang, people with dirty thoughts might gossip that I have bad intentions.

Then there is the gap between the two of them. Although his family is living a better life now, that is with the help of the Song family. What he can give to Si Niang is not worth mentioning compared to what the Song family can give to Si Niang.

Now that Sister Jixiang is married to the He family, if they want to find a man from a high-class family for Si Niang, they can still do it.

But he is not even a scholar now, and he cannot guarantee that he can give Si Niang a good life in the future. These thoughts came to his mind when he wanted to marry Si Niang.

He was not a man who acted rashly. Since he wanted to marry Si Niang, he had to take all aspects into consideration.

Everything I have now was given by my brother. Although my brother has everything through his own efforts, it was also given by the Song family.

The only thing he could be sure of was that after marrying Si Niang, he would do his best to make Si Niang live the best life and he would always treat her well.

He didn't know what his brother would say, whether he would oppose him, because he knew that his brother was much more grateful to the Song family than he was to himself.

He was young and didn't understand before, but now that he has grown up, he understands how precious what the Song family did for the two brothers was.

Maybe his sudden distraction made Si Niang a little unhappy, so she kicked him with her foot.

Qin Haoxi came to his senses. Since he had decided to marry Si Niang, how could he back down because of a little uncertainty?

He now wanted to confirm whether Si Niang was willing to marry him. He smiled at her, but his words were serious.

"Do you want to marry me?"

Si Niang was touched by the seriousness in his eyes and swallowed back the words she wanted to say.

She wondered in her mind, should she marry Brother Haoxi? She wondered what it would be like to be married.

Is it the love story of two lovers under the moonlight? Or is it the sweet love between a sister and her brother-in-law?

She thought of her parents again. They had been married for decades, but their relationship was as good as ever.

She suddenly felt that getting married was not a bad idea, if that person was Brother Haoxi,

She thought of everything Qin Haoxi had done to her. When she was a child, she was indeed reluctant to call him brother. In fact, he was shorter and thinner than her.

But he knows more words than me, and when people don't want to play around with me, he will.

He took the blame for her when she got into trouble, he ate everything she didn't want to eat, and he kept all the good things for her.

As she grew up, it seemed like he bought all her things for her, even though she had money herself.

But he always said that you should save your money to buy delicious food, and I have no place to spend my money, so who should I spend it on if not you?

Although he would buy it for his sister for the sake of fairness, she knew that her sister's was different from hers.

She didn't know what was different, she just knew that her sister always looked at her and Haoxi with meaningful eyes and said

"Brother Haoxi, if you don't want to send me off, you don't have to. I understand."

She felt like she needed to ask her sister, so she lowered her head and hesitated, "Can I tell you later?"

Qin Haoxi was a little panicked, but he still pretended to be calm.

"Okay, I'll go back first. Tell me when you've made up your mind." After saying that, he touched Si Niang's head and walked out the door.

"Why are you leaving so soon after coming back? Aren't you going to eat?" Mrs. Song asked when she saw him coming out.

"I'm not eating anymore. I suddenly remembered that I have an article that I haven't written yet. I have to go back and finish it and give it to the teacher." Qin Haoxi's voice reached Si Niang's ears.

At night, Si Niang knocked on Wu Niang's door after taking a bath.

"Come in." Wu Niang shouted.

Si Niang pushed the door open and went in, then closed it. When she entered, Wu Niang was drying her hair. She glanced at Si Niang and chuckled.

"Tell me, what happened with Brother Haoxi?"

Si Niang's eyes widened, "How did you know?"

Wu Niang shook her long hair and said, "I have eyes. After Haoxi moved out, he always came back to see you."

Si Niang thought her sister was dull when she was young, but she became a different person when she grew up. She seemed indifferent, but her heart was as clear as a mirror.

She lay down on Wu Niang's bed, spread out in a cross-legged position, "He asked me if I wanted to marry him."

"Marry? Is there any need to think about it?" Wu Niang answered without thinking.

"Why?" Si Niang turned her head to look at her sister. The two sisters looked alike after growing up. Her sister was what everyone called a cold beauty, while she seemed to have not grown up yet and always had a childish air.

"First, our family knows Qin Haoxi very well. He has good character, gentle looks, and great knowledge. He is a good candidate for a husband.

Second, Qin Haoxi only has eyes for you. Third, if Qin Haoxi dares to bully you, Brother Haodong will be the first one to beat him to death.

Are these three reasons enough? "Wu Niang answered casually.

"But," Si Niang wanted to say something,

"But what? If you don't want to, then go and tell him you don't want to."

"I didn't say I didn't want to."

"Then you are willing, so what are you hesitating about?" Wu Niang looked at Si Niang, and she was also confused.

The two grew up together, like twin sisters, but she found that she was always impetuous and impulsive, but she was so shy when it came to love.

Si Niang was also puzzled as to why someone who was always slow to act and liked to think for a long time could be so straightforward when talking about something that troubled her so much. She sighed.

"I don't know either. I just feel a little panicked."

"You are panicking, do you think Qin Haoxi is panicking? You just need to think about whether he is willing or not, but Qin Haoxi has to consider a lot more.

First he has to convince his brother, then our parents, and my sister should agree.

Then you think that's the end? Marrying you requires a betrothal gift, and getting married requires money, right? This is not the end yet? You have to spend money to get married, right?

His family is now making money with Brother Haodong, and he is not even a scholar now, so he needs to think about a lot of things.

If you nod, he will have the motivation to deal with everything that comes next."

After Wu Niang finished saying a lot, she thought to herself, Brother Haoxi, since you have taken care of us in the past, I can only help you up to this point.

After hearing what Wu Niang said, Si Niang realized that Qin Haoxi had to consider so much. She felt a little sorry for him, so she nodded firmly and said, "Okay, I'll tell him that I do."

"Well, go back to sleep. Go out and help me close the door." Wu Niang lay on the bed and yawned.

What happened next seemed to be a matter of course. Si Niang was too embarrassed to say it herself, so she hired an errand boy to tell Qin Haoxi,

Qin Haoxi will probably remember for the rest of his life the scene where a skinny, dark-skinned errand boy said to him, "She said she does."

He laughed and shook his head, then generously gave the boy a pair of silver coins as reward. The boy was also smart, and he bowed to him and said, "I wish you two a happy marriage and a long life together."

Qin Haoxi returned the greeting and said, "Thank you for your kind words."

Since he had received Si Niang's approval, he wanted to discuss it with his eldest brother, but his eldest brother was nowhere to be found the whole time. So he wrote a letter to tell him what happened and then sent it.

In fact, he was also nervous in his heart. What he feared most was that his eldest brother would not agree. If his eldest brother objected, how should he go against his wishes?
