Chapter 514 True Thoughts
"But the things you're worried about do need to be inquired about in the county." Chu Zhiwen said anxiously.
The Wang landlord's family wasn't someone easy to deal with.
Both Chu Zhiwen and Chu Liushi disliked getting into trouble, so this matter had left them somewhat agitated.
However, after considering it together, they didn't tell anyone else about it. Even when Chu Lin returned in the evening and wanted to talk to Chu Liushi about it, he was rejected.
In the evening.
Chu Lin and Zhang sat on the bed.
Chu Lin spoke directly, "Mother is truly angry this time."
"I didn't mean to make Mother angry. You know Qingxiang's temperament. She's always been strong-willed and wants to excel in everything. I've confirmed it repeatedly, she wants to marry Song Lu, and Song Lu insisted on marrying Qingxiang in front of Miss Wang. Tell me, with Qingxiang's reputation how can this engagement still be broken off?" Zhang also felt troubled, especially after hearing what Chu Liushi said in the afternoon. She was very uneasy and anxious. She didn't want her daughter to suffer but she couldn't find a reason to refute Chu Liushi's words.
"It's not that it can't be done, it's that you and your daughter don't want to." Chu Lin said with a furrowed brow.
Zhang was angered by his attitude. Her mother-in-law criticized her and she didn't dare to retort, given her lack of confidence. But her own husband didn't stand on her side which made Zhang feel instantly aggrieved.
Grabbing her clothes in frustration, she said angrily, "By saying that, have you ever considered my desire to see our daughter do well? It's easy for you, the father, to say, not worrying about anything. I'm the only one with a worried face and I'm blamed by you all. Am I having an easy time?"
"Mother said that calling off this engagement might not necessarily be a bad thing." Chu Lin didn't want to argue with his wife. After all, she was also doing it for the good of their child. He just disagreed with Zhang's and Qingxiang's choice. They were a family after all and he respected Zhang. He didn't argue with her words and felt responsible as a father for this matter.
"Why wouldn't it be a bad thing? If we call it off, Qingxiang will have fewer choices in the future. Do you want Qingxiang to marry a commoner? To spend her life toiling away?" Chu Lin disagreed, "I'm also a commoner, do you want both you and our daughter to suffer?"
Zhang opened her mouth but couldn't find a response. "It's not the same. I certainly hope our daughter will marry better than me. If she ends up worse off than me, then I'll truly cry."
"In the end, your and Qingxiang's idea is to not let go of this scholar, right?" Chu Lin didn't beat around the bush, directly questioning her.
Zhang felt embarrassed being directly pointed out by her husband "Originally, it was Qingxiang's engagement. Why should we give up a good marriage?"
Seeing her still so stubborn, even though he didn't know what Mother said, Chu Lin knew that Zhang's desire for Qingxiang to marry into a better family must have been advised against.
If Zhang still held this attitude, persuasion would be useless.
Feeling powerless, he also understood, "Since you and Qingxiang have decided, then let the engagement continue and there's no need to worry anymore."
After saying that, Chu Lin lay down on the bed and closed his eyes to sleep.
Zhang pushed him with her hand, "Don't sleep, what about the dowry?"
"Mother has no solution for this matter. Do you think I have one?" Chu Lin didn't even lift his eyelids, turned over, and faced away from Zhang. Clearly, he didn't want to say more. In any case, now that the conclusion of this matter was clear to him, he was thinking about the last thing he could do for their daughter: personally talk to Song Lu and make sure he treats their daughter sincerely.
