C117 (1/2)

Shen Zhu placed the sleeping Ruanruan into the cradle. Seeing that Zi Yi and Jingshu had gone to sleep as well, she walked towards the three people who were chatting. She just happened to hear Su Yixuan's rejection so she stopped to think for a moment.

”How about this?”

Shen Zhu had a plan in his mind, he walked towards the three of them, ”I opened a pastry shop in the town, and it's about to open soon, the shop is currently lacking manpower, why don't you stay and help? I'll give you the starting money, three silver per month.”

”This wages are too much, I …” Su Yixuan was about to reject, but before he could finish, he was interrupted.

”Big brother, you deserve the money. What's more, you're getting married now, so it's good that you saved up some silver. When the time comes, you can buy a yard in town and bring over Second Uncle and Second Aunt.” Shen Zhu spoke in an orderly manner.

”If you don't want us to spend this silver to repair the old house, then just treat it as me borrowing the silver from the Brother Wen. You can return it to us when you have the money.”

Since Shen Zhu had already said this much, it would be unreasonable for him to reject again.

Su Zhiyan nodded and did not say anymore.

Su Zongwen saw that Shen Zhu had persuaded the two of them with just a few words, and he couldn't help but admire her wife in his heart.

Shen Zhu felt that a gaze had been fixated on him this entire time, and as he turned his head, he coincidentally met Su Zongwen's burning gaze. He lowered his head in embarrassment.

Su Zhiyan and his son stayed at Shen Zhu's place for a long time.

Su Zongwen just so happened to be resting for the day, so he accompanied the two of them and chatted for the better part of a day.

Naturally, Su Zhiyan's family was exceptionally happy that the marriage between Su Yixuan and the Ah Qiu had been decided. Shen Zhu thought that with such a huge matter, he should return to celebrate with Su Zhizhong and the others. After that, he should look for the Village Chief to discuss the matter of repairing the house.

”Why don't we go back together in the afternoon and talk to Father about these things?”

Su Zongwen was a wife's slave, so he naturally would not refute whatever Shen Zhu said.

Shen Zhu cleaned up a bit. After the children woke up, he followed Su Zhiyan and the others out of the manor.

Su Zongwen hired a carriage that was slightly bigger and went to buy some things. Only then did the group return to the village.

The carriage stopped in front of Su Zhizhong's house, and after the group got off, Su Yixuan went back to call his family over to eat dinner, while Su Zhiyan followed Shen Zhu and the others into the house.

Inside the room, Su Zhizhong, Madame Chen and the others were discussing the marriage between Su Yixuan and Ah Qiu.

”Big brother, sister-in-law.” Su Zhiyan shouted out a few words towards the few of them.

”Second Uncle.” Hearing the voice, Su Yunyan was the first to turn his head, and just as he finished calling out to Second Uncle, his expression froze, and in the next second, he immediately jumped down from the brick bed and ran towards Shen Zhu, ”Big brother, sister-in-law, why are you guys here?”

”Yue Niang, Zong Wen, why have you two returned?”

Madame Chen got off the brick bed happily and walked up to welcome him.

”Grandfather. Grandmother.”

Zi Yi and Jingshu shouted sweetly.

”Ah ~” Madame Chen smiled as he responded. He rubbed the two children's heads and took the things held in Su Zongwen's hands.

”It's a joyous occasion that our Big Brother has set the wedding date. We should all gather together to celebrate, and we should also fix up our house and second uncle's house as well.”

Su Zongwen explained quickly.

Hearing that, the Madame Chen did not ask any further, and only welcomed the person inside the house happily and sat him down.

”Little Yan, has the matter been settled?”

Su Zhizhong looked at his younger brother who was walking towards the brick bed, and a smile appeared on his face.
