My sister became the empress, but I'm still growing vegetables and raising chickens

Chapter 160 1 and Again

The matchmaker's words reminded everyone in the Si family. Si Muyan had always wanted to expand her business, but whether it was to the surrounding counties or Lingnan City, she could only arrange for Zhu Laoer and He Lai to pay for it and take others with her. She couldn't go by herself.

They also knew how keen Si Muyan was on opening a shop, and if there was a way to go to more places, she would definitely be happy.

The second sister's eyes were red. In the past six months, she had learned a lot from her elder sister. However, she also knew that she was not as smart as the younger sister, and there was really too little she could do to help her elder sister.

She often heard her elder sister say that she should work hard to earn money and let Xiaoxia live a prosperous life. If one day, their Si family could be rehabilitated, or if there was a general amnesty and they could leave Fenghuang County, she hoped that Xiaoxia could travel all over the beautiful country.

This is the eldest sister's wish. In fact, the eldest sister is not only looking forward to Xiaoxia, but also herself.

But redress and amnesty are not so easy to come by. They only come once every few decades, and they are afraid they will never encounter such an opportunity in their lifetime.

She had never thought that she could get out by getting married. After all, ordinary women who got married lived in the inner house, doing their own things in their own little world. People like her elder sister shouldn't be restricted.

Now the Qian family said that as long as my eldest sister married into the family, she could do whatever she wanted. Such a good thing... Of course, we can't just listen to one side of the story. What if the Qian family is not a good family? After all, they want to force my eldest sister.

Seeing the second sister's relaxed expression, the matchmaker quickly added fuel to the fire and praised the Qian family in an exaggerated way.

But the younger sister said resolutely: "You don't have to say it, we don't want this marriage!"

"Ah?" The matchmaker was stunned and looked up at the second sister.

The second sister pulled the youngest sister and whispered, "Little sister, if the eldest sister can go out, it may not be a bad thing for her..."

The younger sister shook her head: "Big sister won't abandon us and leave on her own."

"But, my eldest sister will have to get married sooner or later, so it's better to marry into a good and suitable family..."

The younger sister said firmly: "Second sister, you don't have to say it anymore. The eldest sister said before that when she is not around, I will handle everything."

The second sister immediately said: "Big sister is talking about business matters. We are not talking about business now. Little sister, can you not be so stubborn?"

Seeing the two sisters quarreling, the younger brother hurriedly stopped them: "Second sister, third sister, if there is anything, let's talk about it behind closed doors. Now is not the time to quarrel."

The second sister said unhappily, "Dad is the head of the family. Since the eldest sister is unconscious, let Dad make the decision."

Si Xingzhi had his head down, but when he heard his daughter's words, he raised his head, his eyes full of confusion.

The matchmaker had long since discovered that the head of this family didn't seem like someone who could sustain themselves. If anything happened to the eldest daughter, the family would be in turmoil. Now that she saw that this was indeed the case, she spoke again without hesitation.

"Oh, Master Si, let me tell you, this is a perfect match. How rich is the Qian family? And you, the Si family, are just commoners who have been demoted. If the higher-ups were a little tougher, you would all have become slaves. The Qian family doesn't despise your status and is willing to let their own son marry their daughter. Your ancestors must have been very lucky."

She talked incessantly, continuing to discuss the possibility of settling the marriage immediately.

But Si Xingzhi slowly stood up and said firmly: "No, I don't agree."

The matchmaker was surprised: "Master Si, why is this happening?"

The second sister was also surprised: "Dad, even if you don't want to agree right away, you don't have to..."

You put it so bluntly.

Si Xingzhi looked at his second daughter and said calmly, "I once promised your sister that her marriage would be her own decision and I would never make any arrangements behind her back. And I know my daughter well. She never wants to tie her future to others. Whether the Qian family is good or bad has nothing to do with my daughter. She will carve out her own future."

The second sister's surprised face slowly calmed down. Her eyes were moist and she nodded vigorously: "Dad, I understand."

Si Xingzhi waved his hand at the matchmaker and said, "Please go back and tell Mr. Qian that our Si family will not agree to this marriage, no matter who comes."

The matchmaker was furious after wasting so much time talking. She said, "Hmph, you are the descendants of a criminal, and you are shameless, right? I've said all the nice things, but you won't listen. Then just wait and see."

She no longer had to feel aggrieved. She called her people and left in a grand manner, carrying the gifts.

After the people left, Si Xingzhi slumped in his chair, looking confused again.

The younger brother gave him a back massage: "Dad, Dad, you looked so handsome just now. Dad, the eldest sister is right, you are the head of our family. With you here, you can protect us from the wind and rain."

Si Xingzhi looked at him lovingly, but he looked at his younger sister with hesitation: "It's just that I rejected it so sternly, but I don't know what else the Qian family will do."

Mr. Xu Si went to inquire about it and came back the next day to tell his younger sister about the situation of the Qian family.

"The Qian family's youngest son was born to Boss Qian's ninth concubine. A few years ago, the concubine was caught having an affair and was drowned. Outsiders have been saying that the youngest son isn't Boss Qian's, but he's still being raised in the Qian family. I hear she's not having an easy life. As for his previous fiancée, they were originally going to get married, but somehow, that girl ended up becoming Boss Qian's seventeenth concubine..."

The younger sister's eyes widened, and then she clenched her fists. "How shameless! He did this because he clearly wants to do the same to me, my eldest sister! I won't allow it."

But Si Muyan didn't wake up, and everyone was very anxious.

The younger sister pounded her head in pain: "I'm so useless. My elder sister is sick, and I should take care of the whole family. But I'm useless. I can't be like my elder sister..."

Fourth Master Xu held her head with his hands, "Sister Wan'er, please don't say that. You're already very capable. Without you, the Si family would be in chaos."

The younger sister's eyes were red as she looked up and asked, "Fourth Brother Xu, what should I do?"

The two looked at each other, and this time they did not avoid each other. It was also the first time since they met that the younger sister called him fourth brother.

Fourth Master Xu pursed his lips and said after a long while, "Wan'er, trust me, I will definitely help you."

However, the storm arrived faster than expected, and the Si family's restaurant was suddenly notified that it needed to be closed for rectification. In addition, the Qian family also sent someone to report the news.

"If you want the food shop to be safe and sound, sign the marriage contract as soon as possible!"

The big red marriage certificate was placed next to the second sister. She began to tremble all over and was about to tear the certificate into pieces the next moment.

The woman who delivered the marriage certificate just sneered: "Tear it up, it's useless to tear it up. Just ask someone to write another one!"
