  When the He family came, the Su family was already prepared to see what they were going to do.
  Before they had a falling out, Su's mother still treated them with courtesy and moved a stool for them to sit in the yard.
  When Village Chief He came, he didn't say much nonsense and asked his wife to take out a large bag of silver.
  "Old Su, I feel bad for your family's misfortune. I also know that it's not easy for you. Your eldest son is about to take the exam. How can he do without silver?
  Our family is also an ordinary family. These fifty taels are all we have. Now I give them to you for emergency. Don't think it's too little. It's better to have it than not. Old Su, I can only help you so far."
  Looking at the bulging bag of silver, Su's father's eyes were full of mockery, but he lowered his head and didn't let him see it.
  It was getting more and more confusing. Someone was hired to rob his house, and now he came to offer warmth. What was his intention?
  "Old He, we can't afford to pay back so much money!"
  Su's father followed what Su Wan said and said what he wanted to say.
  The He family thought, it's good that you can't pay it back, because only if you can't pay it back will you be willing to marry our daughter.
  "Don't worry, if it's really not enough, I'll think of a way to make it up for you. Anyway, your Dalang must take the exam. He is so knowledgeable, he must not miss this opportunity."
  Under the banner of doing good for them, he stuffed his daughter into their family, just for the position of the official's wife.
  Just to use his eldest brother's achievements to gain his own face.
  Their He family has been commoners for generations.
        The male offspring was not prominent, and there had never been a scholar-official who brought honor to the family. In his generation, he wanted to get rid of the status of a mud-legged person, and he dreamed of it, so he put all his expectations on He Jiaolan and other families.
  At this time, it was Su Wan's turn to take action. She walked out, looked at Uncle He and asked:
  "Uncle He, you have helped us so much, but our family has nothing to repay you. Besides, my eldest brother is going to the capital to take the exam, and fifty taels is far from enough. It is only enough for the travel expenses."
  "It's okay. If there is still a shortfall, I will find a way to borrow from relatives. Even if I have to sell the fish pond at home, I will find a way to collect the money for Su Jing's journey!"
  Village Chief He agreed without thinking. Their family has been frugal for so many years, and the savings at home must be at least more than 100 taels. It is impossible for them to borrow money. It is just to pretend that I have given everything for you in front of the Su family.
  He also concluded that there is only one month before the departure after the New Year, and they will definitely not be able to collect 100 taels in a short time.
  Besides, the Gu family looked down on the Su family and might not be willing to help. The Su family was also stubborn. If there was a way out, they would not ask the Su family for help and lose face.
  "Uncle He is so righteous, our family has nothing to repay, and this money can't be paid back in a short time."
  After hearing Su Wan's words, Dazaohua quickly said:
  "We also have requests!"
  As soon as this was said, everyone naturally looked at her. According to what they had originally agreed, it would be better for her to speak up.
  Is there really a purpose?
  "What request?" Su's mother asked anxiously. She couldn't wait to know why.
  Dazaohua pretended to be embarrassed, then held her daughter's hand, and He Jiaolan also cooperated with a blushing face and lowered her head shyly.
  "It's our Jiaolan. She has admired your Su Jing for a long time. She has never married or gone on a blind date for him. Now she is about to turn 18, but she still wants to marry A Jing. We want to fulfill our child's devotion. Now your family has suffered an unexpected disaster, and we can't bear to see A Jing lose his future. So, as long as A Jing is willing to marry our Jiaolan, this money will be regarded as our dowry for Jiaolan, and you don't have to pay it back!"
        Dazaohua's rhetoric was really well-made. It can achieve her own goals and show that she is at a disadvantage. She is forcing her daughter here under the banner of devotion.
  In this way, their thoughts are obvious and the world knows it.
  It turns out that they spent so much effort and took such a big risk just to do a favor and achieve this goal.
  Su's mother could not help but sneer:
  "We had no intention of interfering in our Ajing's marriage. He has to be willing for everything. Besides, our family is poor, and we don't live a good life. If your Jiaolan marries into our family, she will probably have a hard life!"
  "We are not afraid of having a hard life. We just believe that Ajing will treat her well. Besides, the marriage of children is decided by their parents and the matchmaker. As long as you agree, Ajing will probably have no objection!" Dazaohua tried her best to fight for it. She was determined to marry her daughter into our family.
  "We don't believe in parents' orders or matchmakers' words in our family. As long as the children like it, it's fine. And it's up to Ajing himself to decide whether he is willing to do so. If he is not willing, we as his parents will not force him. Besides, he is studying hard now and has not yet earned fame. His mind is not on love affairs, so..."
  "So let's forget about it. Our family doesn't want your money!"
  Su's mother was interrupted by Su's father halfway through her words. He looked at Village Chief He with a gloomy face, which made him panic.   "How can we let this go? Jing needs money to take the exam. Our Jiao Xing is pretty and hardworking. Our family has helped your family a lot over the years. It would be great to have a relative. Your Jing and our Jiao Lan are childhood sweethearts. What a good marriage! It can fulfill the children's love and solve the current urgent needs. It's the best of both worlds!" Seeing that they refused, Da Zaohua was anxious. Her words poured out like beans, and she couldn't hide her ambition at all.
  "Aunt Zaohua, I don't agree with this!" Su Wan laughed in anger.
  "First, my eldest brother and sister Jiaolan are not in love with each other. As for childhood sweethearts, it is not reasonable. At best, they are from the same hometown. My eldest brother has been studying abroad for many years, and he has not spent much time with sister Jiaolan. There is no so-called affection. Moreover, the girl my eldest brother wants to marry in the future must be gentle and virtuous, familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and reasonable, beautiful and intelligent, and thrifty. I dare to ask if sister Jiaolan knows the Four Books and Five Classics, and whether she can recite poems with my eldest brother in the future? If my eldest brother enters the official career, he must also need a wife who can read and write to manage the household. As far as I know, sister Jiaolan has never been to a private school, which is not appropriate!"
  Since it has come to this, Su Wan is not polite and is not afraid of offending people.
  The words made the He family look ashamed and angry.
  "You mean that my Jiaolan is vulgar and unworthy of your eldest brother!" Dazaohua's face turned black.
