The Imperial Concubine Chef - C73
Su Wenlan was stunned. She had never thought that her daughter would say such a thing. Her husband was also not good enough. Other than her daughter and Seventh Aunt, her previous Zhou Family held no hope for her. But now her hope was telling her this, and she didn’t know how to react.
Seeing her mother standing there stunned, Su Xinyu sighed: “Mother. I’m not trying to make things difficult for you. But think about it. If dad didn’t pass, he would most likely stay in the capital for another three years, right? We still need to wait for these three years. Actually, it’s nothing, I have enough silver on me for him to study and take the exam. However, we can’t openly give out this money for him to use. Then you must always work so hard on embroidery. But in three years I’ll be eleven, and if he comes in three years I’ll be sixteen. At that time, my family will definitely be short of money. What if my grandparents want to marry me to a rich man and exchange my wealth for money to continue the exam? You’ll be alone. I don’t know what kind of life I’ll be living. Do you think a daughter-in-law who spent money to buy a home would be treated well? ”
These words made Su Wenlan shudder. Her biggest hope in life was her daughter, even though her daughter was going to marry one day. But in her heart, her daughter knew how to read music, calligraphy, calligraphy, calligraphy, paintings, nymphs, and even medicine. She also knew how to conduct business, and was even more courageous and knowledgeable. Her daughter was worthy of the best man in the world. Even if she didn’t have to marry a great noble, she hoped that her daughter could find a good man who could be in love with her and could spend the rest of her life with her. Instead of marrying a rich family’s young master, he would be watching his husband get jealous from the point of view of having three wives and four concubines fighting with a bunch of women. Therefore, Su Xinyu’s words directly pierced Su Wenlan’s worry. “Thus, there was a change in her affability level at that time.” “But …”
Su Xinyu did not let her mother continue speaking, but continued, “I’ll take this high school as an official position. You still need silver coins to make a down payment, right? But how could there be silver in the Zhou Family? In the end, isn’t it still going to come out from us, the two of us? Then where did we get the silver from? They didn’t know we did, so they had to give me up anyway. Even if Dad didn’t do anything, he could still get an official position. Can you guarantee that he won’t have an outer room for a few years? At that time, you and I will have to compete with the others in the backyard, so we can’t afford to spend our own money. Then what’s the use of the abilities I’ve learned? Keep them to fight with the concubines? I don’t want to be like this, Mom. I don’t want to marry someone I don’t know. I don’t want to marry someone I don’t know. He didn’t want to waste his ability for nothing. I don’t want to spend my life in the backyard, living a life without seeing the light of day. Mother. I thought about my own life. He spent the money he earned, doing whatever he wanted without being controlled by anyone. I want to cook chef, there are so many delicious things to eat, I want to open a restaurant and be the boss. I can earn a lot of money to support Mother and Seventh Grandmother. but it does not seem to have anything to do with the rest of the Zhou Family. Mother, can you understand what I have said? ”
Actually, Su Wenlan didn’t understand it at all. She didn’t even know what her daughter was thinking. How could a girl live her own life? How could a girl be the owner of a restaurant in chef? However, looking at her daughter’s sparkling eyes, she instinctively believed that her own girl could do it. ” However … In the end, a woman had to be married off. If I don’t have a son, what should I do when I get old? ”
Su Xinyu laughed bitterly: “Mother, you think too far. If they couldn’t live happily now, then what was the use in thinking about how old they would be in the future? If someone was to grind him down at the back of the house, he might lose his life at some point. What’s more, in the future, if we decide for ourselves, that will be our decision. It wasn’t impossible for him to find a son-in-law who came to visit, right? When the time comes, all my children will be surnamed Su, and I will also be surnamed Su. there’s no need for me to continue the bloodline of Zhou Family. Or if they couldn’t find that good man, they might as well adopt some poor and helpless children. Who wouldn’t have the same children? As long as we teach them well, they will be the descendants of our children. ”
Su Wenlan didn’t agree with her words. However, her heart was moved by the thought of a son-in-law. They only wanted her to make up her mind and leave the Zhou Family. “That’s easier said than done.” Your grandparents and your father will not agree to leave. And they couldn’t have given up their wives. ”
After Su Xinyu heard these words, she knew that her mother was not against living with him. Mother! That means, you are actually willing to leave the Zhou Family, and the two of us are going to live together? ”
Su Wenlan sighed: “If it was in the past, Mother would definitely not dare to think about it. But now that I think about it, isn’t it just us women who are earning money to live by ourselves all these years? It’s all thanks to the care and care of your Seventh Grandmother and a large family of the Tian Family. Relying on Zhou Family … Sigh. It’s only been a few days. Mother, I am only like this in my entire life. But Mother doesn’t want you to live like that. It’s just that it’s not that easy for the two of us to live together. If there were no men in the family, they would eventually be bullied and looked down upon. Even if they had silver taels, if there were no males, they would still be treated as someone who had no authority. It’s not as easy as you think. ”
Su Xinyu nodded: “I understand all that you have said. So I thought. After leaving. I dressed up as a man. Take me as your son. Wouldn’t that allow me to establish my own clan? ”
“How can this be?” If that’s the case, then you won’t be able to find him in the future. ” Madam Su hurriedly shook his head.
Su Xinyu facepalmed, “Mother. I didn’t say that. If you can’t find it, you can’t. The same goes for adoption. Do you think men are reliable? However, she just took advantage of the fact that it was a man. I can do what they can. I can do anything they can’t do! Furthermore, if in the future I could find someone I could accept no matter what, then that would be someone worth entrusting. Don’t you agree? ”
Su Wenlan has never been able to defeat his daughter, what’s more, what Su Xinyu has said was extremely logical. ” “Child, you’re so young, why are you thinking about everything?”
Su Xinyu sighed, “I am also willing to be as carefree as Gou Zi Ge and Ernil. But Mother. I don’t have a good grandparents or a good father. I have to plan for myself and for your future. I’m afraid. Ever since I was almost beaten to death by the Great auntie, I have been thinking about how to leave the Zhou Family everyday and live a life without being afraid. So I do everything hard, and I want to be the best. I was just worried that I would be sold off by the Great auntie before father returned. If I am not with you, you will be bullied. I don’t need anything, but I can’t afford to have a mother! ”
When Su Wenlan heard his daughter’s words, her tears immediately flowed down. “As she embraced his daughter, her heart was filled with grief.” Mother is useless. It was Mother who caused you to suffer so much! But there’s nothing we ladies can do. ”
Su Xinyu shook her head. Mother, I have a way. As long as you want to leave with me. I have a way out. No need to leave and no need for their divorce papers. As long as we’re on our way to find Dad, we can just find someone to pretend to rob and kidnap us. Then we can change our names and live somewhere else. “Do you believe that Daddy will come looking for us?”
Su Wenlan pondered for a moment. She had to admit, if she and Xinyu went missing … At most, their Zhou Family would report to the officials, and then they would leave the matter at that. She might even say that she and her daughter were robbed and killed by bandits. From then on, she could marry the young miss of a wealthy family as her first wife. Thinking about it, Su Wenlan laughed bitterly. You’re right. But how can you find someone like that? ”
Su Xinyu told Su Wenlan, “Mother. Do you still remember that Young Master Wen? He was a very powerful person. His father was a high official in the capital. He values the Big Brother Yong a lot, all the dishes I sold to him before were all for him, he said that I made a lot of money for him, so he can help me out with something. That’s all I asked of him. “He agreed.”
Su Wenlan opened her eyes wide: “What? You told him that? ”
Su Xinyu nodded: “Mother. Don’t worry. I also promised him ten new and good recipes. An equal exchange. He wasn’t at a disadvantage either. Furthermore, he did not know her father and Zhou Family. She wouldn’t tell anyone. Since I was able to help him earn money, he naturally sided with me. Moreover, there was the Big Brother Yong. Think about it again. His heart is so good that he would never go back on his word. How else could he have gone into the water to save me? We can’t doubt our savior, can we? ”
Su Wenlan was really convinced by her daughter. “Otherwise, doesn’t that mean she is ungrateful? She clearly saved his daughter, yet she suspects the kind of person she is?” It made sense. But we can’t take your Seventh Grandmother away. All these years, it’s all thanks to you, Seventh Grandmother, taking care of us two. ”
Su Xinyu sighed: “I also can’t bear to part with Seventh Grandmother. However, the Seventh Grandmother had her chastity arch, so she could not leave the Two-boundary Village easily. And if she left with us, it would ruin her reputation. So I thought, Grandpa Ginseng sold it. Let’s give the silver we got back to the Seventh Grandmother. Tell her to keep it for us. Tell him if there’s anything she can’t handle, she can use it. Think of it as my filial piety. “Anyway, it’s always good to have money.”
Su Wenlan also felt that it made sense. It was also a way. “It’s rare for a child like you to be willing to spend so much silver.”
Su Xinyu laughed, “I can’t bear to part with the silver. But what’s more, I don’t want to part with the Seventh Grandmother and her family. But I dare to contact step grandfather and the others. However, the Seventh Grandmother was unable to do so. Thus, she could only temporarily use silver to repay this debt of gratitude. If there’s a chance in the future, I will still bring Seventh Grandmother to my side to take care of her. “Mother, now that you have agreed to my proposal, when we have time to set off in the future, we will have to follow our plans.”
“Although he was persuaded by Su Xinyu, Su Wenlan’s heart was still in his throat. It would be good if it was feasible. I was just afraid something might happen. ”
Su Xinyu hugged his mother’s arm, “Mother, don’t worry. Really, at that time, the Big Brother Yong will protect us secretly. Others might not be able to make you feel at ease, but Big Brother Yong can’t make you feel at ease? ”
Hearing that Tian Liyong was inside, Su Wenlan was indeed a lot more at ease. Sigh. That… Shall we save more money for your father? ”
The corner of Su Xinyu’s mouth twitched? “Mother …”
Su Wenlan let out a long sigh. Even though your mother doesn’t have much relationship with your father. Your father doesn’t treat your mother well either. But he must be your father. You should use several dozen taels of silver to pay for your filial piety. “Is that good?”
Su Xinyu thought that this was not unreasonable. So she agreed. “Alright. Then out of my private money. I have quite a few here. Mother’s silver still needs to be kept for us to live in the future. ”
Thinking about his daughter’s private money, Su Wenlan still had some calculations. His daughter had much more money than she did. In the future, she would have to rely on his daughter to lead her life. However, thinking of this, she felt somewhat gratified in her heart. With money, she could earn money. It wasn’t like there weren’t any widows in this world who could take their children with them. If others could do the same, why couldn’t she do the same? In the future, there would be no parents-in-law, no husbands, wives, and concubines to serve them. Only by happily earning silver with his daughter would she be able to live her life a good life
