When she looked around, she saw Su Dahu standing not far behind her, looking steadily towards her.

His eyes were deep and filled with emotions that Su Qingyu didn’t want to understand.

Xiao Qingyang wanted to take over Yaya, but Su Qingyu refused to let her go. Holding Yaya in her arms, she walked towards Su Dahu: “Brother Dahu.”

Su Dahu looked at her intently, Su Qingyu tightened her hands holding Yaya, and smiled at him.

“You’re getting married tomorrow…” Su Dahu’s eyes lingered on her face.

“Ah, yes…”

“Congratulations, Qingyu.”

“Well, thank you.”

The two of them were speechless.

Su Dahu looked at Su Qingnao, who was becoming more and more radiant, and saw her becoming more alive and beautiful day by day, and felt sour and bitter in his heart.

If he had gone to Su’s house earlier to ask for marriage…if he had run faster that day…

Could it be that he would be the one to marry Qingyu tomorrow?

He and Qingyu had been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and he could see her every day whenever he wanted to. She smiled beautifully and could enter his dreams every day. As long as he thought about living with her in the future; Qingyu taking care of his housework, giving birth to children for him… As long as he thought about these, he would be full of energy every day.

But now, she was going to marry someone else.

If he could also get fifty taels of silver…

“Qingyu, can you… I can also earn fifty taels of silver, I can also earn fifty taels of silver…”

Su Qingying looked at him, earnestly pleading without losing sincerity, sighing in her heart.

Shaking her head, she said: “Brother Dahu, find someone you like and start a family. You are quick and diligent, and the days in the future will only get better and better.”

Su Dahu’s eyes filled with sadness after hearing this.

Su Qingyu couldn’t bear to look at it.

Su Dahu shook his head.

He had watched Su Qingyu for sixteen years, seeing her grow from that little girl to the graceful figure she was now. He thought he could keep her, but he didn’t expect that she would marry someone else.

Su Dahu tried his best to hold back the tears in his eyes, took out a silver hairpin wrapped in a handkerchief from his arms, and handed it to Su Qingyu: “This is for you…a gift…”

Su Qingyu saw him staring at his hand intently. She felt that this thing should be of great significance to him.

So she didn’t want it.

“Brother Dahu, please keep it for your wife in the future. I will keep your blessings in my heart.”

Seeing that she refused to accept it, Su Dahu couldn’t hold back the tears in his eyes. He packed up the things and put them between her and Yaya. He filled the gap between them and said: “This is what I give to you. It is my heart.”

After saying that, he turned around and ran away.

Su Qingyu hugged Yaya and chased him for a few steps. She saw that he quickly disappeared and stopped where he was in a daze.

“Sister, please keep it. Brother Dahu almost cried just now.”

Xiao Qingyang liked Su Dahu very much. When people bully him, Su Dahu always helps him out, takes him to play, and helps his parents with work. The little thing also served as his messenger many times.

Su Qingnao looked down at Xiao Qingyang and sighed inwardly when she saw Qingxing also tilted her head to persuade her to put the things away.

Rejection may make him collapse even more.

She just sighed that fate played tricks on people.

At night, the sisters slept in the same room, and Xiao Qingxing and Xiao Qingyang slept in the outside room. They chatted for a long time before falling asleep, and Yaya fell asleep long ago. Su Qingliu and Su Qingyu were talking quietly, and Su Qingliu let out a long sigh when talking about Su Dahu.

“Dahu is a hard-working and honest person who lives a down-to-earth life and has a lot of strength. If you marry him, you won’t have a bunch of in-laws to boss you around. It will be a very good marriage.”

Su Qingyu said silently. She listened to her chatter. Su Dahu’s conditions may be average, but his family was not burdened by trivial household chores, and Su Dahu liked the original owner very much. It would be a happy thing for the original owner to marry him.

Sigh-worthy.

At the same time, she was full of melancholy about the unknown life of the Lu family.

She only wanted to live a quiet and peaceful life. If marrying someone couldn’t add color to her current life, if it couldn’t maintain the quality of life she had now, and if the man and his family would only drain her, then it would be better to be a quality single noblewoman.

Su Qingying, scared by the high divorce rate from her previous on-and-off relationships, only wanted to live freely on her own.

If a woman wanted to earn money to support the family, do housework, take care of a man, and raise children alone, and the man’s role was missing, it was really not as good as living alone or raising children alone and living a quiet life.

When you have free time, do something you like to do, that is all.

So before Wang Shi hired her to the Lu family, she didn’t resist.

Before meeting Su Qingliu today, she learned something about Su Qingliu’s married life from her parents and felt a little sad for her.

She was the eldest daughter in her parents’ family. She helped cook, take care of the children, and do housework even before the stove was high. When she was older, she would follow the adults in the fields. She was so busy that she never had an easy day. And being married her life was worse than being in her natal family.

Su Qingliu married a man who had lost his parents since he was a child. She thought he would not have to worry about problems between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but she did not expect that life would be even more difficult.

Brother-in-law Cui Mangzhong is three years older than her sister. After his parents died, he grew up in his uncle’s and aunt’s house with plenty to eat. Grandma didn’t care, because she had to rely on her son and daughter-in-law to support her in old age, so she never said a word or two to help her eldest grandson.

Logically speaking, the conscription would not be on his head, but it was his bad luck that the whole Cui family was not separated. Several uncles and aunts said they wanted to support him and insisted on giving him a spot in the army.

Before he was sent to the army, Grandma had a hard time selling an acre of land in the family and borrowing some money to marry him.

He just got married and left, while Su Qingliu lived with her uncle, aunt, and grandparents. Because they had to sell their land and borrow money to marry her, her in-law’s family didn’t have a good look at her.

And she herself had little confidence and a soft temperament, taking in all the hard and dirty work. After giving birth to Yaya, there was no one to help look after her. Before the confinement period was over, Yaya was tied to her back and taken to the ground…

In just two years, her appearance became haggard, and the light vanished from her eyes.

Su Qingyu took out a tael of silver from the wallet given by Lu Bocheng and stuffed it into her in the dark.

“What is this?” Su Qingliu groped. After hearing that it was silver, she was so scared that she pushed it back to her.

“Sister, take it and hide it secretly. If you get sick or want to buy some food for Yaya in the future, you don’t have to look at others. When I make money in the future, I will give you more.”

Su Qingliu refused several times and finally took the money in tears.

Afraid of waking up Xiao Qingxing, she cried quietly and repressedly. Su Qingyu also shed tears.

“This is what Lu Bocheng gave you, right? You take his money…”

“He gave me what is mine. Whatever is left, I’ll take with me when I go. Once I marry him, I’ll figure out ways to make money. Sister, you can help me then, and our days will be better.”

“Yes.” Su Qingliu nodded heavily, looking forward to the good days in the future.

“He seems pretty good.”

“Yes. He doesn’t look bad.”

“Then you and he live a good life.”

“Yeah.”

“You will also have a good life with your sister.”

“Okay, we’ll live together then. Live a good life.”

“Okay.”
