Young Master Tang, you are too kind. I am deeply moved by your sister’s willingness to overlook my poverty and take the risk of facing criticism to talk about marriage at my home,” Qin Niu said, nodded at Tang Cai Xian with a smile.
“Please, take a seat! My home is very modest, I hope you’ll excuse its simplicity.”
The poverty of Qin Niu’s family could truly be described as destitute.
There used to be some possessions, but after Old Man Liu died, Qin Niu had sold everything for silver money.
He exchanged it for a Low-grade Contract Charm.
Looking back, that was the most correct decision of his life.
“The day the flood began to recede, I saw you leap into the waters across the bank, selflessly rescuing the calf. I had a very good impression of you. At night, as soon as I close my eyes, 1 can see your heroic figure. 1 don’t care that you’re poor; when my grandfather married my grandmother, they were also very poor, but through their own efforts, bit by bit, they built up some family business.
By my father’s generation, the family business had expanded and we lived quite comfortably.
1 trust my own eyes and judgment. You are a person who is brave and bold, and I believe that no matter what, our future together will not be that bad. And even if by some chance we are down on our luck and live a hard life, it will still be the path I chose myself, and I will have no regrets.”
She seemed even more daring than the girls in the city.
She must be doted on by her parents and elders at home.
The generous dowry proposed by the Tang Family also showed they did not belittle their daughter.
“Miss Tang, thank you for your deep affection, but I am currently not considering marriage,” Qin Niu, once again, gently rejected her.
Qin Niu, my sister and 1 have come to you with thick faces, it’s truly because she fell for you at first sight. ‘An elder brother is like a father,’ so I will just speak frankly. It’s a good thought for a man to want to establish his career before getting married. In fact, the tradition since ancient times is to marry first, then set up a career. Once married, with a wife to take care of household affairs, you will have more time and energy to strive for your career. Plus, there’s someone to look after your daily needs,” Tang Bin said, attempting to persuade Qin Niu with all his might.
“Furthermore, if you don’t wish to marry into the wife’s family, my sister can come live with you. Then she could bring a dowry to help lay the foundation for your business.”
Judging by his tone, the dowry promised would certainly be substantial.
Some brothers sought every possible way to extract money from their sisters or other siblings. Tang Bin, who was willing to offer part of the family wealth as his sister’s dowry, was relatively rare.
This also indicated that the siblings had a good relationship; they were not the type of selfish people who would ignore familial affection for the sake of money.
“If you really don’t want to get married so soon, just give me one word, and I am willing to wait for you,” Tang Cai Xian said with courage, biting her vibrant red lips.
This girl was love-struck, truly going to great lengths for affection.
“Miss Tang, I’m truly sorry, but I really have no intention of being in a relationship right now,” Qin Niu said, trying not to hurt her pride.
Looking at such a beautiful girl, to say he was not moved would be a lie.
But he was very clear that marriage would undoubtedly bring numerous encumbrances.
And if they had children later, it would only become even more complicated. “Little sister, since Qin Niu doesn’t have this in mind for now, let’s go home first,” Tang Bin said, who had shamelessly accompanied his sister on this visit, which was already embarrassing enough.
Now that Qin Niu had rejected them, he naturally couldn’t sit there any longer. “It might be good to give Ah Niu some time. He probably didn’t expect such an incredible stroke of luck to come his way and hasn’t come to his senses yet. When he calms down and thinks of Miss Tang’s virtues, who knows, he might be moved. He might even press me to take the initiative to come to propose.” Auntie Hua quickly spoke to ease the situation, to spare the Tang siblings any embarrassment.
“Young Master Qin, can we chat alone for a moment?”
But Tang Cai Xian had her own judgment.
She was not prepared to give up easily. Missing out on destiny might mean missing out for a lifetime.
“Certainly!”
When Qin Niu faced her gaze, he found it impossible to refuse.
He really didn’t know what such a blossom-like beauty saw in him.
