I just want to die of old age

Dad Su Jianjun came back to his senses and said with a grim expression: "It makes me sad just thinking about it."

When he thought about a bad boy wanting to marry his precious daughter in the future, he felt so sad and lost.

If he really wants to marry Yuzhu sincerely, he must train her well. Marrying Yuzhu is not that easy, and he has to go through many difficulties.

A man in the distance suddenly sneezed, as if he sensed something.

She thought with a worried look on her face: It seems that Dad still cares about grandparents and others very much. I must comfort him well.

Before she could offer her caring comfort, her father Su Jianjun suddenly thought of what Grandma Su and the others had said today and was afraid of making Su Yuzhu sad.

He showed a proud smile on his face and said comfortingly: "Yuzhu, I am very happy to have a daughter like you. Daughters are so good, a caring little cotton-padded jacket. When your mother and I grow old, you will still be the one we can rely on the most."

She heard her father's words of comfort and understood that he was worried that she would be sad, but she didn't know that in her heart she never cared about what Grandma Su and the others said because she didn't care about them at all.

Only words spoken by someone you care about can hurt your heart.

Most of the people in the village have the idea of favoring boys over girls, and have an established custom of living that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled, and when she is old, she relies on her sons and daughters-in-law for support.

Su Yuzhu said confidently, "Dad, I will work hard in the future to provide for you in your old age."

Who says daughters can’t take care of their parents in old age? In modern society, when old people fall ill, most of the time it is their daughters who serve and care by their bedside.

Most of the sons are busy with work, and worse, they won’t even visit their parents when they are sick. What can you expect from them?

Dad Su Jianjun was stunned for a moment, then a bright smile appeared on his face and he said proudly: "Okay, Yuzhu will take care of us in our old age."

Su's mother Li Jing watched with satisfaction. She had always felt that women were actually very powerful and there had been female emperors in history. She believed that her daughter could do it.

Xiao Hao hugged Su's mother Li Jing's thighs, his eyes sparkling, and said cleverly: "Mom, I also want to take care of you in your old age and raise you to be plump and white."

Su's mother Li Jing was so upset that she said, "Thank you, my good son." She didn't want to become fat and white.

However, she was still moved by her son's kindness and responded. She took the opportunity to teach him, "Xiaohao, remember to study hard like your sister, so that you can support your parents in the future."

Xiao Hao was a little distressed when he heard this. He gestured with two fingers and whispered, "Studying is a bit difficult. How about letting Dad eat less?"

Su Yuzhu burst out laughing, her heart bursting with joy.

Father Su Jianjun pretended to be angry, pinched Xiaohao's round face lightly, and said jokingly: "You should eat less, your little fat face has become rounder."

A burst of laughter could be heard outside. Grandpa Su was smoking in the room with a gloomy face, and Grandma Su was running around in a panic.

She asked worriedly, "How can I get a job, old man?"

Grandpa Su took a puff of his cigarette, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "Go to the county later and talk to the third brother about the work. The two brothers have a good relationship. Let the third brother persuade him."

Grandma Su had a smug look on her face.

"Yes, let's think of a solution together. I'm afraid he won't agree."

Grandpa Su warned, "Also, you have to be nicer to the second son. He is kind-hearted and filial. If you care about him more, maybe he will agree."

Grandma Su looked unhappy and said angrily: "Jianjun was very obedient before, but he became so disobedient after marrying Li Jing. It's true that he forgot his mother after getting married."

She became increasingly dissatisfied with Su Jianjun and felt that he was here to collect a debt.

But for the sake of her work, she is still willing to endure humiliation.

Early the next morning, my third uncle Su Jianye, who I had rarely seen in a month, came back happily with his wife and children.

Su Jianye was holding a bag of fruit in his hand and had specially bought gifts for their family, including a beautiful silk scarf for her.

He looked so happy for her, smiling so happily: "Yuzhu has graduated from high school. I rushed back as soon as I heard the news. This scarf was bought specially for you by your third sister-in-law."

Third Aunt Guan Yue, who usually had eyes that reached the ceiling, looked at her with a face full of doting today, as if their relationship was very close.

She shuddered in her heart, she was so scared, it turned out that the temptation of money was too great.

She suddenly remembered a joke on the Internet: Don't blame her for betraying you, it's because others gave her too much.

Uncle and aunt kept talking and talking. Su Yuzhu felt she couldn't handle it anymore and found an excuse to leave.

Su Yumei followed closely and they walked in silence all the way without speaking.

Although they are cousins, they rarely meet and are not very familiar with each other.

She didn't want to force herself. After all, she knew in her heart that their family's purpose of returning to the village was not simple.

Su Yumei randomly found a topic and said, "I heard that you helped the police catch the human traffickers and saved a lot of children. You are really amazing."

She said modestly: "I just did what I wanted to do."

Su Yumei fell silent. She had never had the right to decide her own affairs. Today, her parents asked her to build a good relationship with her cousin because of her cousin's work.

The knowledge she had learned told her that this was wrong, but she could not refuse her parents' request.

Su Yuzhu looked at her cousin Su Yumei who was silent.

In the original novel, in order to get a better position, the third uncle married her to the son of his superior.

The man had married a wife before, but she died during childbirth, so she married him to be his stepmother.

Uncle San trampled on Su Yumei's happiness all the way, getting promoted and making money, but Su Yumei's life after marriage was not easy.

Su Yumei's mother-in-law was on guard against her like a thief every day, for fear that Su Yumei would bully her precious grandson. Her stepson was also a mischievous child and was very resistant to her.

She also suffered a lot in marriage.

"Cousin, what are your plans for the future?"

Su Yumei's eyes were full of confusion: "I don't know either, maybe she's getting married."

"Cousin, marriage is a woman's second choice, so you still have to choose carefully."

Su Yumei was stunned for a moment, then she smiled bitterly and said, "My father will only choose a son-in-law who is good for him. I don't have the power to choose."

Yes, in this era, women’s marriages are usually arranged by their parents through blind dates and they choose suitable partners. Very few people choose their own dating partners.

She felt a little inexplicably scared, but she gained confidence when she thought of her parents. They would definitely let her choose what she liked.

Besides, she had a stubborn personality and wasn't the type that could be easily forced.

I feel a little inexplicable sympathy for my cousin Su Yumei, but in this era, transportation is inconvenient and even traveling requires a certificate from the brigade.

How could a woman like her escape from the shackles of her parents?

If you go on a blind date in modern times and the person you meet is not suitable, you might just break up.

It is useless to force your parents. The worst that can happen is that you can just run away from home and go back to coax your parents when they have calmed down. Women are still quite free.

So he gave his cousin Su Yumei a suggestion and said, "In that case, you should find an excellent partner for yourself. As long as the partner is excellent enough, Third Uncle will not refuse."

It’s better than marrying blindly!

After hearing this, cousin Su Yumei's eyes lit up and she nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing that she was listening attentively, Su Yuzhu spoke more excitedly: "And you have to hide your private money secretly. After all, girls need to dress up brightly and beautifully to find a good partner."

Cousin Su Yumei hesitated for a while, then felt that she was right.

"And you need to improve yourself in all aspects, including your temperament and academic qualifications."

My cousin Su Yumei was confused and asked, "But isn't it enough for girls to just do housework? Why do they need to learn these?"

She muttered: I have been fooled by Uncle San and the others. I should read more books and see if I can get some of the water out of my head.

Su Yuzhu thought proudly that she just wanted to divide them from within.
