Chapter 9

Lu Wan hurriedly said, “Aunt, how could that be?

If I really disliked him, I would not have agreed to marry Comrade Su Zhenhua.”

After hearing what Lu Wan said, Zhu Aihua responded with a smile.

This little girl speaks in a way that makes people feel comfortable.

Zhu Aihua was quite pleased that she was a city lady, so graceful and generous, and didn’t look down on them, who were from the country.

Otherwise, if Lu Wan were to marry me, I would feel it would be too unfair to her.

At this time, Su Zhenhua finished his breakfast and came into the room.

The moment he saw Lu Wan, Su Zhenhua’s mood brightened.

Seeing that Su Zhenhua was standing there in a daze without saying anything and didn’t know how to greet others, Zhu Aihua quickly gave Su Zhenhua a look.

“What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and pour Lu Zhiqing a glass of water!”

This silly boy doesn’t know how to be attentive and win the favor of female comrades.

As a mother, she found it miraculous that Lu Wan fell in love with Su Zhenhua.

Urged by Zhu Aihua, Su Zhenhua hurriedly said “Oh” and prepared to pour some water.

Zhu Aihua hurriedly instructed, “Don’t pour boiled water. We have brown sugar in the jar. Pour a cup of brown sugar water for Lu Zhiqing.”

In the countryside, brown sugar is a good thing.

When you go to someone’s house, if they serve you brown sugar water, it means they value you.

Lu Wan also felt that Zhu Aihua valued her.

Compared to Jiang Qingguo’s mother in his previous life who loved to make trouble, Zhu Aihua is eight hundred times better.

Jiang Qingguo, a Phoenix man, hooked up with her, but her mother-in-law kept finding fault with her all the time. I don’t know where she got the confidence from to think that she was not worthy of Jiang Qingguo.

Now that I think about it, she was really stupid in her previous life.

She gave up Su Zhenhua and such a mother-in-law and chose to be with Jiang Qingguo.

Seeing Su Zhenhua busying himself, Zhu Aihua said to Lu Wan, “Lu Zhiqing, my son is sometimes a bit dull and doesn’t know how to please girls. Don’t bother with him. In fact, he is not a bad person. You will know it when you live together in the future.”

When Su Zhenhua heard what Zhu Aihua said, the corners of his mouth twitched. Is it appropriate for his mother to say this to him in front of Lu Wan?

“mom……”

Lu Wan saw that Su Zhenhua blushed again and felt that he looked even cuter.

Lu Wan smiled, her eyes became crescent-shaped, “Aunt, I think Comrade Su Zhenhua is very good like this.

I don’t like men who are smooth-talking. They are likely to have affairs with other women!”

Zhu Aihua smiled and said yes, “Yes, it’s better for men to be honest.

You can rest assured about my Zhenhua. He will definitely not have any affairs outside.

If he dares, I, as his mother, will break his legs first…”

Su Zhenhua: “…”

Is she still his biological mother?

Su Zhenhua prepared some brown sugar water and brought it to Lu Wan, “Lu Zhiqing, drink some water!”

Lu Wan took it and thanked her with a smile.

“You’re welcome!” Su Zhenhua said, and sat down opposite Lu Wan.

Lu Wan couldn’t help but want to “tease” Su Zhenhua, “Comrade Su Zhenhua, why are you sitting so far away? Are you afraid that I will eat you?”

Zhu Aihua quickly pushed Su Zhenhua and said, “That’s right, you’re going to marry Lu Zhiqing in the future, why don’t you sit closer to him, get to know him better, and cultivate your relationship?”

Just say that her son is dull, right? He doesn’t know how to take the initiative at all.

After all, Lu Zhiqing is a lesbian, and it is not appropriate for a girl like her to take the initiative in some things.

Su Zhenhua blushed and sat down next to Lu Wan.

As he got closer to Lu Wan, Su Zhenhua’s heart began to beat violently, and the faint fragrance between Lu Wan’s hair also penetrated into Su Qinghua’s nose, which smelled very pleasant.

After everyone sat down, Zhu Aihua spoke and got straight to the point, “Lu Zhiqing, today both of us should sit down and talk about your marriage.

If you agree to marry my Qinghua, you should tell your parents, right? Otherwise, I don’t know what they think. “

Zhu Aihua thought that Lu Wan was a city dweller after all.

She was afraid that his parents would not be able to accept her rash marriage to a country man.

So Zhu Aihua has to mention this matter first.

You have to know what other people’s parents mean before you can continue to discuss the next issue.

Lu Wan nodded, “Aunt, my parents respect my wishes very much. They have told me before that I can find someone I like.

They are very open-minded and do not discriminate.

As long as the person I marry is good to me, that’s enough.

Besides, this era is different from the past. The new era advocates free love and opposes arranged marriages. My parents will not do anything that goes against the wishes of the motherland.

I’ll go to the county town tomorrow and send a telegram to inform them.”

After hearing what Lu Wan said, Zhu Aihua nodded with relief.

“Lu Zhiqing, don’t worry, if you marry into our Su family, not only will our Zhenhua treat you well, we will all treat you well!”

“Yeah!” Lu Wan smiled sweetly.

Even if she didn’t believe anything else, she believed that Su Zhenhua would treat her well for the rest of his life.

In her previous life, Su Zhenhua became the richest man in the country, and she was unwilling to get married for him. How could such a man treat her badly?

Zhu Aihua continued, “How much do you plan to ask for as a betrothal gift, Lu Zhiqing? I heard that in the city, the bride’s betrothal gift will be three renminbi and one gong, but we are from the countryside, and we may not be able to afford it. I’m afraid I’ll have to let you down a bit…”

The so-called three turns and one sound refer to the sewing machine, bicycle, watch, and radio.

In fact, if she had the ability, Zhu Aihua would also like to buy these for Lu Wan.

After all, she was marrying down from her parents’ side. If she wasn’t given more dowry, it would be unfair to Lu Wan.

But the Su family’s conditions were indeed not good, and even if they took out all their family savings, there was not much money left.

Not to mention buying three turns and one bell, it would be a great achievement to be able to buy even one of them.

Moreover, these things not only require money, but also tickets.

The Su family is from the countryside, and no one in the family works outside. Where can they get watch tickets, radio tickets, sewing machine tickets, and bicycle tickets?

Lu Wan naturally knew the Su family’s dilemma.

In this life, she would be willing to marry a man who truly loves her even if he doesn’t have these things and asks her to pay for him.

Lu Wan hurriedly said, “Aunt, there is no need for all this, we will arrange the betrothal gifts the same way as they are arranged in the countryside.

I want to marry Comrade Su Zhenhua and live a good life, not pursue those empty things!”

Neither Zhu Aihua nor Lu Zhenhua expected Lu Wan to say this.

Seeing how considerate Lu Wan was, Zhu Aihua felt even more deeply that her son was so lucky. Not only did he marry a young lady from the city, but she was also so approachable, humble, and considerate.

But even if the other party doesn’t want it, the Su family still has to try their best to give them more.

Zhu Aihua said, “Lu Zhiqing, let’s do this. As a betrothal gift, our Su family will give you fifty yuan. In addition, we will buy you two sets of clothes, two pairs of shoes, two new quilts for you and your wife, and wash basins, spittoons, enamel pots, thermoses, and other things. Everything is ready for you!”
