I'm dressed up as the timid eldest daughter, and the whole family has to listen to me!
Chapter 404 You can't be so selfish. Just so that Banxia can make money for your family, you wo
Wang Guihua left Grandma Sun's house with Lianhua and started walking towards the courtyard on Dwarf Mountain. However, they ran into Mandun's mother halfway there.
"Oh dear, Osmanthus, where are you going!"
"Mother Mandun, we just went to Grandma Sun's house. Are you going out now?"
Mandun'er's mother smiled and looked at Lianhua, who was standing next to Wang Guihua.
"Wow, your wife has only been married into your family for a short time, but she looks much better, more energetic, and has even gained weight."
Wang Guihua said with a smile:
"Oh dear, it's because my daughter-in-law is pregnant, so she's gained a little weight."
Upon hearing this, Mandun's mother immediately showed an expression of envy.
"Oh my, Guihua, how come you're so lucky? Your son has only been married for a short time, and he's already going to give you a grandson. Look at my good-for-nothing son, he hasn't even settled down for marriage yet. I was just about to visit you today, and I didn't expect to run into you on the way."
Wang Guihua smiled upon hearing this.
"Sure, you can come to my house for a visit, but we don't have much work to do these days."
As Wang Guihua spoke, she walked towards the small courtyard on Dwarf Mountain. Mandun'er's mother followed beside Wang Guihua, smiling as she said:
"Actually, the reason I came to see you today was to discuss our children's marriage. You know, my son Mandun and your son Banxia are about the same age and grew up in the same village. I haven't liked any of the girls in our village, but I've taken a liking to your son Banxia. If we can marry your son Banxia, my family will be incredibly lucky."
Upon hearing this, Wang Guihua's expression stiffened, then she smiled and said:
“Oh dear, Mandun’s mother, you wouldn’t dare say that. What’s with all this talk about burning incense? Our Banxia is just an ordinary child. How can she compare to your Mandun? Besides, with such a good family background and the village head supporting the whole family, wouldn’t you be picky about your daughter-in-law? You can’t just pick and choose any girl in our village.”
Upon hearing Wang Guihua's words, Mandun's mother straightened her chest, coughed a few times, and said with a smile:
"Of course, there are so many girls in our village who want to marry our Mandun, but I haven't taken a liking to any of them. But I've taken a liking to Banxia, so I thought I'd come and talk to you about this. The two girls are getting on in years, so it's time to bring up the topic of marriage."
Hearing this, Lianhua felt a little unhappy. She had met Mandun once on the day of Lianhua's wedding. How could Mandun's appearance be a match for her own Banxia? She didn't know what her mother-in-law was thinking, why she would belittle her own daughter and elevate the other man.
Seeing the arrogant attitude of Mandun'er's mother, Lianhua was about to speak when Wang Guihua glared at her, so she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Wang Guihua said with a smile:
“Mother of Mandun, I won’t lie to you. We’re not planning to get Banxia married off early, so we can’t delay your Mandun’s marriage either. I think you should choose a few more women for Mandun to consider.”
Upon hearing this, Mandun's mother immediately frowned and let out a cold snort.
“Oh dear, Guihua, you can’t be so selfish! I know Banxia is good at making money, but you can’t just stop her from getting married just to make money for your own family. Banxia isn’t young anymore, and her younger sister Su Mo is about to marry Su Feng after the New Year. If she, as the older sister, is still at home and can’t get married, won’t the villagers laugh at her?”
Wang Guihua, who had been all smiles, suddenly felt a vein throbbing on her forehead and her face turned cold when she heard Mandun's mother mention Su Mo's marriage.
“Mother Mandun, that’s not how it works. How can I be selfish? Our Banxia is a very opinionated woman. If she doesn’t want to get married, we, as her parents, can’t just force her to leave. Besides, there aren’t any suitable marriages right now. If Banxia really meets her destined partner, we certainly won’t stop her from getting married. In the end, it’s just that the time isn’t right yet.”
Upon hearing Wang Guihua's words, Mandun'er's mother immediately clapped Wang Guihua's hand excitedly and said with a smile:
“Oh dear, Guihua, look at you! How can you be so slow to understand? Your daughter’s destiny is both far away and right before your eyes. Look at our Mandun, isn’t he her perfect match? If Banxia marries into our family in the future, we will definitely not let her suffer any grievances. Besides, we live in the same village. If Banxia comes to our house, you can see her often. Isn’t your daughter just like she was before she got married?”
As they talked, they arrived at the entrance of the small courtyard on Dwarf Mountain. Wang Guihua smiled, opened the gate,
"Mother Mandun, why don't you come in and sit for a while?"
Upon hearing this, Mandun's mother readily agreed. She hadn't yet achieved her purpose for coming today, so how could she leave now? Naturally, she wanted to go in, sit down, have some tea, and thoroughly discuss this matter with Wang Guihua, ideally finalizing the marriage between the two children today.
After entering the courtyard, Lianhua didn't say much and went in to make tea on her own.
Wang Guihua invited Mandun'er's mother to sit down in the main room and then went to light a charcoal fire.
Looking at the house, Mandun's mother could only lament that she hadn't married Banxia, her capable daughter-in-law, sooner. If she had married her sooner, wouldn't this big house have been built for her?
"Your house is so comfortable. There's a charcoal fire burning inside, so it's not cold at all. Unlike our old house, which is drafty everywhere, it's still cold in winter even with a heated kang bed."
Wang Guihua smiled.
"As long as I have a place to stay, I'm fine with it. I'm not picky."
Mandun's mother pursed her lips dismissively, then smiled and said:
“Oh dear, that’s not how it works. Now that you have Banxia, a girl who can earn money, supporting your family, your lives are getting better and better. So it’s understandable that you don’t want Banxia to become a nun.”
At this moment, Lianhua brought up the tea. He first poured a cup for Mandun'er's mother, then poured a cup for Wang Guihua, and then withdrew.
She really didn't want to sit there listening to Mandun's mother say such sarcastic things. She always felt that this person wasn't a good person, and she didn't care about what others thought when she spoke.
She also felt that this person was more interested in Su Banxia's ability to make money, so he wanted Su Banxia to be his son's wife. In the end, he just wanted to marry Banxia and exploit her. Thinking this, Lianhua felt that she could not feel any goodwill towards this Mandun'er's mother.
