Chapter 947 A Sudden Marriage

Because Suning was busy in the kitchen of the restaurant, he just closed the front door.

Chen Xueru went straight to the door in the backyard of the small restaurant and pushed it open without knocking, just walking in without any courtesy.

She doesn't care at all about how Suning feels, just like her impetuous personality.

Then when I arrived at the kitchen of the restaurant, I saw the busy Suning. I was immediately surprised by the many kinds of fillings in front of Suning.

"Suning." Chen Xueru looked at Suning's back with infatuation and shouted.

"Chen Xueru, why are you here again?" The busy Suning turned around and saw the playful Chen Xueru, but at this time he could not feel any cuteness.

"What? Are you not welcome?" Chen Xueru asked Su Ning instead of answering.

"No! Didn't I make it clear to you this morning? There's no way I'd be your Chen family's son-in-law."

"Hmph! When you go to our Chen family, there's no need to work so hard. You can just become the boss of a silk shop." Looking at Su Ning spending the whole day at the stove, Chen Xueru tempted him with a comfortable life.

"No thanks! I'm a working person who loves to work. I don't like to do things that can get me something for nothing." Suning once again ruthlessly rejected the girl. It was really annoying to be harassed like this every day, morning and night.

"Suning, do you hate me so much?" Looking at the heartless man working hard in front of her, Chen Xueru found it a little hard to accept.

"I don't hate you! It's just that I can't be a live-in son-in-law. How many times do you want me to tell you before you understand?"

"Humph! You just hate me."

"Chen Xueru, if you agree to marry me, I will go with you to get a marriage certificate tomorrow." Seeing that Chen Xueru was still entangled with him, Su Ning simply looked at the girl in front of him seriously and made a promise.

"Humph! Where would I live if I married you?"

"Just live in the backyard of the small restaurant! There are so many rooms that I'm sure we can accommodate them."

"I have a big villa at home, why do you have to marry into this small restaurant?"

"So, we are not suitable for each other at all."

"..."

Su Ning also couldn't understand why Chen Xueru had set her sights on him. She remembered that in the original drama, she had already married the man surnamed Hou, who was the biological father of the later Hou Kui.

When I think about the fact that Chen Xueru had three weird husbands in her life, I don’t understand why she has set her sights on a good man like me. It doesn’t fit her unscrupulous personality at all.

After Chen Xueru left angrily for the second time, Suning shook his head helplessly and continued to busy himself with the work at hand.

After a while, Old Man He slowly came to the small restaurant, looked at the busy Su Ning and asked, "Suning, did Boss Chen's daughter Chen Xueru come to see you just now?"

"Master, Chen Xueru has been pestering me these past two days, asking me to become a son-in-law of the Chen family." Then Su Ning looked at Old Man He with a helpless look and explained.

"Suning, this is good news!" Old man He's eyes lit up, knowing that the Chen family was a wealthy family in Daqianmen.

"Master, there's no way I can be a live-in son-in-law. I don't want to be unable to enter the ancestral tomb after I die."

If you can't achieve the state of being unmoved by poverty and unyielding by power, you might as well die with your head stuck on tofu.

"But the Chen family is rich! They also have a share in our Daqianmen." At this time, Old Man He did not understand Su Ning's stubbornness. In his eyes, such behavior was meaningless.

"Master, I have my own skills, and I don't need the Chen family's money."

"Su Ning, given the Chen family's situation and your current conditions, it's impossible for the Chen family to marry Chen Xueru to you."

"That's right! How about you, Master, introduce me to someone so that Chen Xueru doesn't have to come and bother me every day?"

"Or maybe that Xu Huizhen?"

"Master, Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru are in similar situations. Don't ask me to be a live-in son-in-law again."

"Okay! I'll ask the matchmaker later."

Hearing that Chen Xueru was pestering his apprentice, Old Man He felt a little secretly happy in his heart. He also thought that his apprentice was handsome enough.

But there is nothing that can be done about Suning's stubbornness and persistence. After all, being a live-in son-in-law in China is indeed a shameful thing, and even in the new society it still sounds a bit unpleasant.

……

When Chen Xueru returned home angrily, she saw that the eldest son of the Hou family had come over.

When the eldest son of the Hou family saw Chen Xueru, whom he had been waiting for, coming back, he immediately stood up excitedly.

"Xueru, you're back?" The eldest son of the Hou family stood up with a pig-like face and looked at Chen Xueru.

"Yeah." Chen Xueru responded indifferently at this time.

In fact, Chen Xueru was quite satisfied with the eldest son of the Hou family at the beginning, but since she met Su Ning, she no longer looked down on him.

You have to know that Suning's experience and knowledge are not comparable to people of this generation, and his unique temperament sometimes cannot be hidden at all.

"Xueru, Hou Minhao is here to play with you, so hurry up and accompany him for a walk." Seeing her daughter's lukewarm attitude, Chen's mother hurriedly reminded Chen Xueru with a smile.

"Hmph! It's pitch dark outside! What's there to shop for?" He vented all the grievances he had just suffered at Suning on the eldest son of the Hou family.

"Hey, Xueru is right! It's really dark outside. I'll take you to Beihai Park tomorrow."

"Hou Minhao, let me tell you clearly today, I don't like you, and anything between us is impossible."

"what?"

"Xueru, how can you talk like that!" Chen's mother beside her scolded Chen Xueru anxiously.

"Hmph! Dad, Mom, I have decided to be with Suning in this life. You two can handle it as you wish." Seeing her parents who were at a loss whether to laugh or cry, Chen Xueru explained firmly.

"You..." At this moment, Mr. and Mrs. Chen suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness, feeling that their daughter was too stubborn.

"Uncle Chen, Auntie, who is this Suning?" The eldest son of the Hou family, who seemed to be ignored, became puzzled.

"Huh? Just a cook." Boss Chen and his wife looked at each other awkwardly, realizing that they had badly offended the Hou family.

"What? Am I, Hou Minhao, not as good as a cook?" Sure enough, the eldest son of the Hou family widened his eyes in frustration, feeling that the Chen family and Chen Xueru were going too far.

"Hou Minhao, you should go back today. I will help you persuade him later."

"Forget it! Since Miss Chen doesn't like me, I won't bother her anymore."

"This……"

Looking at the back of Hou Minhao, the eldest son of the Hou family, who left angrily, Chen's father and mother felt helpless at this time. They did not expect that things would develop to this point today.

In the end, Chen's father and mother had no choice but to come to Chen Xueru's bedroom on the second floor. After all, everyone needed to have a good talk about this matter.

"Xueru, what exactly do you think?" Boss Chen and his wife looked at Chen Xueru helplessly and asked.

"Dad, Mom, I really don't like this guy named Hou. All I can think about is that Suning."

"Xue Ru, isn't it true that Su Ning doesn't want to be a live-in son-in-law? You were turned away again tonight, right?"

"..."

Seeing their daughter Chen Xueru's silent attitude, Chen's parents understood everything. They knew Chen Xueru's extreme and stubborn nature best and realized that this matter had to be resolved quickly.

"Xue Ru, I will go and persuade Suning myself. If he still refuses to give me face, then let this matter drop." Helpless Boss Chen has decided to take action himself. After all, this matter was caused by him.

"Old Chen, I want to go with you too. I want to see what this Suning looks like." Chen's mother on the side also became angry. She wanted to see how handsome Suning looked.

"Alright."

"Thank you, Mom and Dad."

Looking at their daughter Chen Xueru who was surprised again, Chen's father and mother both smiled bitterly helplessly.

……

At this time, Suning had finished all his work, and Old Man He left the tavern to Sha Qiang and his wife to take care of, and ran to Suning's small restaurant to relax.

Old Man He suddenly found that he really liked coming to the small restaurant. He felt very happy every time after chatting with Suning.

When Chen Xueru and her family of three came over again, both Suning and Old Man He looked at the three people in front of them in surprise.

"Boss Chen, what do you mean?" Old Man He looked at the family of three in front of him and asked in confusion.

"Old man He, let's sit down and have a good chat today!" Boss Chen once again showed the decisiveness of a big businessman in Sijiu City and decided that this matter must be resolved tonight.

"Alright!"

After everyone sat down in the dining hall of the small restaurant, Chen Xueru's mother kept staring at Su Ning from head to toe.

She finally understood why her daughter was so obsessed with it, and even she herself couldn't help but feel her heart pounding.

"Old man He, we have been neighbors in Qianmenlou for many years. I just took a fancy to Suning and want him to be my son-in-law." Boss Chen looked directly at the old man He in front of him and said.

"Boss Chen, theoretically this is a great thing, and I very much agree with this marriage. However, Suning still needs to continue his family line, so it's absolutely impossible for him to marry into your Chen family as a son-in-law." Old Man He, who understood Suning's thoughts, explained with a wry smile.

"Isn't it possible to discuss it?"

"How can we discuss this? Look at Su Ning's family tree. He's the only one left in his generation. Are you really planning to make the Su family extinct?"

"Hey……"

"Boss Chen, Auntie Xueru, I'm truly grateful that you think highly of me. Although I know my circumstances are vastly different from your Chen family's, if you're willing to marry Chen Xueru to me, I promise to treat her well for the rest of my life."

"You promise? What can you promise?" Sure enough, Chen's mother at the side couldn't help but questioned sarcastically.

"Auntie, I guarantee this with my dignity as a man, and I'm not a jerk who abandons his lover after having sex with him."

"Humph! If Xueru really marries me, where do you plan to let her live?"

"The backyard of the small restaurant."

"No! It's too crude."

After hearing Chen Xueru's mother's fierce rejection, Su Ning and Old Man He looked at each other in surprise, which meant that there was still hope for this matter.

"Boss Chen, Auntie, I recently heard that Pian'erye has a three-in-one courtyard house for sale. I can go over and ask about the details and try to buy it while I still have some money." Suning looked directly at the family of three in front of him and explained.

"Pianerye's house?"

"That's right! I also remembered this. This courtyard house was left by Pian'er's grandfather. Their family has two houses of their own at the back. They will definitely not have no place to live." At this time, Old Man He also understood what Su Ning meant, and then explained to the three members of the Chen family with a smile on his face.

"Okay then! Suning, if you can buy Pian'erye's house, we will agree to let Xueru marry you."

"Boss Chen, don't worry! I will personally take Suning to see Pianerye tomorrow afternoon, and I promise to give you an answer as soon as possible." At this time, Old Man He couldn't help but look at Boss Chen in surprise and assured him.

"Okay! Then it's a deal."

"It's a word."

Chen Xueru looked up at Su Ning shyly, and then followed her parents out of the restaurant.

After the master and disciple sent away the unexpected visitor, Su Ning and Old Man He looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Master, am I dreaming? Did the Chen family really agree to let Chen Xueru marry me?" Su Ning looked at Old Man He in disbelief and asked.

"Hehe, you little brat! Are you so happy now?" Old man He also teased Suning with a smile.

"It's okay! But some of it feels too weird."

"Well, I have to go find Pian'erye as soon as possible tomorrow. I need to take care of the house."

"Then I'll trouble you, Master."

This was in 1953, the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Although restrictions had been placed on private house buying and selling, they were not as strict as in the following years.

In addition, the courtyard house that Pianerye owns is his ancestral property, so there is still room for negotiation, but it needs to be approved and reviewed by the street office.

"Master, it seems I have to borrow money from you again?"

"Haha, the restaurant's business is so brisk, I'm not worried that you won't be able to pay it back. Besides, the courtyard house isn't as expensive as this restaurant, so I'm sure Pian'er Ye won't ask for much either."

When Old Man He saw that Suning had such a prosperous fortune, he was also somewhat surprised for his apprentice.

When he returned to the tavern and saw the silly He Yongqiang again, his head started to hurt again. He realized that He Yongqiang would definitely not be able to defend this tavern.

"Hey! Old Man He, have you learned to be lazy now?"

"Pianerye, I went to the small restaurant next door to help Suning. Why haven't you gone home yet so late?"

"Alright! Are you going to kick me out?"

"How could that be! I just have something to discuss with you."

"What's the matter? Tell me."

"Pianerye, I heard that you are planning to sell that three-in-one courtyard house?"

"That's right! Did someone ask you to negotiate a price with me?"

"Yes! You name a price!"

"Three million eight hundred thousand! Not a penny less."

"No problem! I'll give you an extra 200,000, but you have to leave all the furniture inside."

"Old Man He, is there really anyone who wants to buy this? Houses haven't been popular in recent years."

"Don't worry! We'll go to the neighborhood office tomorrow afternoon to handle the formalities."

"Be cool! See you at the neighborhood office tomorrow afternoon at 2:00."
