Chapter 87: Unwilling
Su Miao’s husband, Su Minjian, glared at the small room with a gloomy face: "Whose grown daughter doesn’t work during the day, just lies around? Make her get up, otherwise she won’t find a husband."
Which good young man would want such a lazy woman as a wife? Even being the village head wouldn’t change that.
Su Miao was already in a bad mood, and hearing her father talk about finding a husband made her feel even more wronged. She angrily swept everything off the kang onto the floor.
Ding Qiuyue sighed: "The girl is not feeling well, let her lie down."
"What’s wrong? Is someone bullying our daughter? Or is she sick?" Although Su Minjian was very dissatisfied with his daughter’s laziness, he cared deeply, and quickly asked his wife when something seemed off.
Ding Qiuyue said: "Isn’t it just about finding her a match? I was considering letting her marry Gu Junming, but who knew? He quietly brought back a fiancée. If she were a city woman with good conditions, we would accept it. But her conditions are worse than our Su Miao’s; can she take that lying down?"
After hearing Ding Qiuyue’s words, Su Minjian snorted: "You really have long hair and short knowledge. What is so great about Gu Junming? He’s just a soldier. What benefits can he bring you?"
Ding Qiuyue said: "It’s said that his father’s a chief! If our daughter marries him, she’ll be well off."
"Forget it!" Tian Minjian waved his hand: "If he were really the son of a chief sent here to foster, why does the family never visit? And if Gu Junming’s father is so capable, how come he’s still only a company commander?"
The news of Gu Junming’s promotion hadn’t been spread yet, and Gu Junming hadn’t told his parents, so they didn’t know.
Ding Qiuyue pondered and then said: "Could it be boasting?"
