"Don't mention this to your Grandma. If you have such intentions, go tell your third and fourth brothers!"
Grandma Su acted as if she had no intention of managing the matter, her expression exceptionally sincere.
It was known that Grandma Su was someone who was accustomed to taking charge.
All three daughters-in-law of the Su family had been personally chosen by her.
The facts proved that the three daughters-in-law of the Su family were indeed excellent.
Why, when it came to a granddaughter-in-law, was she letting go of the reins?
Following this, Grandpa Su also spoke.
"Your Grandma is right. As elders, we should not interfere in such matters. As for future daughters-in-law, let them compete and find them themselves."
Clearly, Grandpa Su fully agreed with Grandma Su's opinion!
"Grandma, don't you think that marriage is a matter of parental arrangement and a matchmaker's introduction?" Su Xiaotian asked curiously.
Didn't the older generation all think this way?
It was best for the elders to approve of their own children's marriages.
Grandma Su smiled and said, "Do you think I'm that kind of stubborn old woman? You're really underestimating me."
"I've lived in the capital for so long, and I've heard countless discussions about arranged marriages being unacceptable and marriage freedom. Don't I know these things?"
Although she was an old lady, she was also someone who kept up with the times!
Hearing her mother-in-law's words, Liang Xiu couldn't help but smile and ask her mother-in-law.
"Mom, when Xiaotian finds a partner in the future, will you manage it or not?"
But before her mother-in-law could answer, her husband immediately started shouting in a flustered manner.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How old is our Xiaotian? You're already thinking about her getting married?"
Su Laosan was clearly displeased, his tone very agitated, as if Liang Xiu wasn't just speaking casually but was planning to marry off Su Xiaotian directly.
Clearly, he hadn't expected his husband to be so sensitive about this matter.
She had only said it casually.
"As a mother, why are you thinking about marrying off your daughter so quickly? Our daughter should be kept at home for a few more years! At least until she's twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven, or twenty-eight!"
Su Laosan's anxious appearance made everyone laugh.
Su Xiaotian herself couldn't help but grin.
Her own father, how could he have such a cute side?
Liang Xiu rolled her eyes upon hearing her husband's words.
What kind of talk was that? Keeping their daughter until twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven, or twenty-eight, why not just say keep her until thirty?
Wouldn't a girl who reached that age be delayed in everything?
Would she even be able to get married then?
She didn't know what this father was thinking.
Was he planning to let his daughter become an old maid and ruin her life?
Thinking of this possibility, Liang Xiu prepared to argue with Su Laosan.
Just then, a steady voice sounded.
"Xiaotian is our only daughter, so naturally, we should keep her for a few more years."
Hearing this, Su Laosan was delighted. He knew that his father's thoughts were the same as his.
But Grandpa Su glanced at his son and said, "Keeping her until twenty-four or twenty-five is about right. Any older, and it will be difficult to find a husband. We love our child, but we can't delay her!"
Old Master Su never spoke much, but every word he uttered basically settled the matter.
Although Grandma Su appeared to be in charge of the household, in reality, it was Grandpa Su who made the final decision.
No one in the family opposed Grandpa Su.
Although her father said they would wait until the child was twenty-four or twenty-five to get married, Su Laosan was a bit dissatisfied.
But then he thought that twenty-four or twenty-five was about right.
At that age, when she got married, she wouldn't be too old or too young.
"Alright then, it's decided. No earlier than that."
Su Xiaotian was basically stunned by her elders.
It seemed like they were talking about her second brother's matter today, but it had turned to her.
Never mind, she wouldn't dwell on it. She should obediently go back to reading.
In this world, there was nothing more satisfying than reading.
Su Xiaotian thought about going to read, but she first went to the flower room in their backyard.
The flower room had been built for a month.
Three days after the flower room was built, Su Xiaotian, under the pretense of buying flowers, found someone to deliver all the flowers she had stored in her system space.
Time seemed to be frozen in Su Xiaotian's system space.
The Cymbidium orchids looked the same when she put them in as when she took them out.
It had to be said that the dozens of pots of flowers, each looking more withered than the last, truly shocked the Su family.
Su Xiaotian had always been synonymous with intelligence in the hearts of the Su family.
The Su family firmly believed that besides the cunning and sly Su Xiao Si, Su Xiaotian was the smartest.
Yet, this intelligent person had acted out of character and bought a large batch of defective products.
The shock was indescribable.
Even Grandma Su, who doted on Su Xiaotian as if she were her own lifeblood, almost resorted to hitting her.
This girl had truly been spoiled, spending money to buy these trash items.
"Xiaotian, why are you getting sillier? These flowers are clearly dying, why did you buy them?"
Liang Xiu truly hated that she couldn't help her be better.
"Mom, don't worry. Come back in a few days, and it definitely won't be like this."
Su Xiaotian, afraid of angering her elders, quickly tried to comfort them.
How could Liang Xiu believe her?
She was a farmer. Although she hadn't grown flowers, she had grown grain.
Let alone precious things like flowers, even grain in this state would only have one outcome: death.
"Mom, Grandma, don't you still believe me? I can definitely make these flowers grow. Come and see in a few days."
These wilting flowers were placed in the flower room.
That day, Su Xiaotian repotted all the flowers.
The soil she used was prepared according to a ratio after communicating with these flowers, and it could be said to be the most suitable for their growth.
It had to be said that Su Xiaotian's skills were indeed good. After changing the soil, the Su family members, who had thought the flowers were sure to die, saw that the flowers had begun to show signs of improvement on the third day.
It seemed there was hope for them to come back to life.
By the seventh day, it was evident that the flowers had recovered and regained their vitality.
And now, more than twenty days had passed. As Su Xiaotian stepped into the flower room, she saw dozens of pots of flowers that were vibrant and lush.
These flowers had developed feelings for Su Xiaotian. The flowers, sensing a familiar aura, happily swayed their leaves slightly to greet Su Xiaotian.
Su Xiaotian also communicated with the flowers very seriously.
After communication, she was able to confirm that these flowers were now growing well, in the best possible condition, and even their damaged roots and leaves had been repaired.
It could be said that as long as they weren't handled carelessly, these flowers would grow well even with just watering.
Su Xiaotian looked at the brilliantly green leaves, and it seemed like she was looking at piles of money.
In the past few days, Su Xiaotian had also heard some news that Cymbidium orchids in Spring City had increased in price again.
This meant that after another year or so of nurturing these flowers, she could earn a substantial income.
According to the trend of rising Cymbidium orchid prices, in a year or so, these Cymbidium orchids could easily be sold for three to five thousand yuan.
"You all must be well. If you need anything, tell me immediately. I will ensure you have sufficient, but not excessive, nutrition."
Su Xiaotian's fair fingers gently stroked the green Cymbidium leaves, feeling extremely happy.
The Su family did not know why Su Xiaotian cherished these flowers like her own eyes and even built a dedicated flower room to raise them.
However, they were quite happy to see that the flowers Su Xiaotian raised had come back to life.
In fact, the elders were worried that the little girl would be sad if she couldn't keep these flowers alive.
Now that the flowers were alive, they were no longer worried.
From beginning to end, only Su San Gong had never worried about Su Xiaotian's flowers.
He firmly believed in Su Xiaotian. As long as any plant had a breath of life left, Su Xiaotian could definitely nurture it well.
