I'm dressed up as the timid eldest daughter, and the whole family has to listen to me!

Chapter 257 Fulfilling Their Fate

Su Banxia glanced at Su Shiyan and smiled.

"Mother, don't talk nonsense. These are all things my eldest brother bought for their future wife. You didn't know that, did you? The nurse said they're almost done talking. I think it's pretty much settled. Why don't you go to the west end of the village tomorrow and find Grandma Sun to finalize their marriage? That way you can put your mind at ease."

Wang Guihua put down the basket in her hand, quickly turned to look at Su Shiyan who was packing things up beside her, and then said:

"Shi Yan, are you really engaged to that Lotus Girl? If you really like her, then I'll go and talk to her for you tomorrow. The sooner we settle this good girl down, the more at ease we'll feel. Otherwise, her mother will take her to meet other people, and we'll be a step behind her. You'll regret it then and have nowhere to cry."

Su Shiyan became nervous upon hearing Wang Guihua's words. After all, he knew what kind of person Aunt Luo was; she seemed like a woman capable of anything. So Su Shiyan quickly nodded and said:

“Mother, I already talked to Lianhua when I went to the market today. I said I would definitely marry her, so I’ll have to trouble you to go to Grandma Sun’s place at the west end of the village to discuss this matter and get the marriage settled as soon as possible. That way, we can feel more at ease.”

Seeing that Su Shiyan, who usually paid no attention to her marriage, was now anxious and even said such things himself, Wang Guihua felt quite gratified. She figured Su Shiyan must truly have his eye on Lianhua, which was why he was so eager. So Wang Guihua smiled at Su Shiyan.

"Okay, hurry up and get ready for dinner. I'll go ask about it for you first thing tomorrow morning. Anyway, we've prepared everything at home, just waiting to arrange the wedding for the two of you. So the sooner the better."

After hearing Wang Guihua's words, Su Shiyan felt reassured, so he quickly washed his hands and went to eat.

the next morning,

Wang Guihua didn't dare to delay any longer, fearing that if she arrived late, Grandma Sun might be out in the field picking wheat and she might not be able to find her again.

So Wang Guihua handed over her work to her fifth aunt and took some gifts to her grandmother's house at the west end of the village.

When Wang Guihua arrived, she happened to bump into Grandma Sun carrying a basket and about to go out.

"Oh my, Guihua, what brings you here? You've come at just the right time. I was just about to leave, and if you had come any later, you would have missed me."

Wang Guihua smiled.

"I came here precisely when you were out, didn't I? Actually, I have something important to tell you. You can put the wheat picking aside for now."

As she spoke, Wang Guihua handed over the gift in her hand. When Grandma Sun saw that Wang Guihua hadn't come empty-handed, her eyes lit up, and she quickly smiled as she took the gift from Wang Guihua's hand and weighed it in her hand.

“Oh dear, we’re neighbors, why are you being so polite? We’re from the same village, after all. You’re just coming to my house for a visit, but you bring gifts. If word gets out, people will laugh at me for being so petty, refusing to let people visit unless they bring something.”

Wang Guihua knew that Grandma Sun was teasing her, so she quickly smiled and said...

"You can't say that. Grandma Sun, you're our family's matchmaker. I've come to discuss Su Shiyan and Miss Lianhua's marriage with you today, so I can't come empty-handed. If word gets out, people will say that I, Wang Guihua, am stingy to the extreme, not caring about my own son's marriage and only trying to get something for nothing, right?"

Grandma Sun couldn't help but laugh when she heard Wang Guihua's words.

“Guihua, we’ve lived in the same village for so many years, and I never realized you were so quick-witted. Before, when you lived at your husband’s house, it must have been Granny Liu who suppressed your personality. It’s so nice to see you so lively and cheerful now.”

Upon hearing Grandma Sun's words, Wang Guihua couldn't help but recall the hard times she had endured at Old Su's house. She lowered her head, smoothed the stray hairs from her forehead, and smiled slightly.

"Let's not talk about that anymore, Grandma Sun. Let's go inside and talk about Su Shiyan's marriage."

Upon hearing this, Grandma Sun slapped her thigh and said with a smile,

"Look at me, I'm getting old and senile. I've been chatting with you at the door for so long, and I haven't even invited you in for a cup of tea. Come on, let's go inside and talk."

As she spoke, Grandma Sun opened the closed courtyard gate again, reached out and pulled Wang Guihua into the yard.

"Sit here for a while. Although I don't have any good tea at home, it's still passable. I'll make you a pot of tea, and we can talk while we drink."

Wang Guihua smiled and waved her hand.

"Grandma Sun, you don't need to bother. I can drink water or tea the same way, so let's not waste your time."

Grandma Sun quickly shook her head and said:

"That won't do. You're a rare guest in our family. You haven't been here for a long time. I can't just let you sit there drinking plain water."

As Grandma Sun spoke, she busied herself with her work, and soon the tea was brewed and served.

"Alright, now tell me, what exactly did you come to discuss with me today?"

Wang Guihua took the teacup from Grandma Sun, took a small sip, and then smiled:

"Your tea tastes refreshingly sweet; it's really quite good."

As she spoke, Wang Guihua put down her teacup and looked at Grandma Sun.

"Actually, I came here today for the marriage of Su Shiyan and Miss Lianhua. I think Miss Lianhua is a good girl now, and we don't plan to look at other girls. We just want to get Su Shiyan and Miss Lianhua's marriage settled as soon as possible. That way, I can put my mind at ease. After the New Year, we can have a big, fat grandson to enjoy."

Grandma Sun burst into laughter upon hearing Wang Guihua's words.

"Haha, you're quite the schemer. Looks like you're eager to have a grandson. You can rest assured about the person I'm introducing. I know that Lotus girl inside and out; she grew up under my watchful eye. If you really marry her as your daughter-in-law, your Su Shiyan will truly be blessed. Putting aside everything else, the most important thing is that Lotus girl is obedient. With such a daughter-in-law, you definitely won't have to worry about anything at home anymore; she'll take care of everything perfectly."

As she spoke, Grandma Sun poured more tea for Wang Guihua.

"You'll be waiting to hold your grandson when the time comes!"

Wang Guihua was very satisfied with what Grandma Sun said. She also thought that Lianhua was a good girl. Although Aunt Luo seemed difficult to get along with and was scheming, she would eventually marry Lianhua and not live with Aunt Luo every day. So, since her son liked her, she would just let them get married.
