Chapter 278 We Don’t Marry into the Zhou Family

Aunt Sun kept telling Zhou Miaomiao the advantages of marrying Sun Shan. Zhou Miaomiao was also bold and said openly that she didn't like Sun Shan. She didn't like the fact that he was short, thin and weak, and that he had an ugly pair of triangular eyes.

The more Sun Xiaogu spoke, the more excited she became, and the stronger Zhou Miaomiao's resistance became.

Sun Shan, who was hiding in the corner, couldn't stand it anymore.

If these two mother and daughter want to talk about others behind their backs, they have to hide in a place where others can't eavesdrop.

People come and go here, appearing at any time.

Sun Shan felt that if he let them go any further, they would be overheard sooner or later.

Originally, Sun Shan sent Scholar Hong and Scholar Huang out of the village and turned back home. When he saw Sun Xiaogu and Zhou Miaomiao, he wanted to say hello.

Who knew that Sun Xiaogu was pulling Zhou Miaomiao to talk secretly in a corner.

Following the gentleman's code of conduct of "do not look at what is improper, do not listen to what is improper, do not say what is improper, do not do what is improper", I was ready to turn around and leave, but before I could take a step far, I heard the words "cousin Shan".

Sun Shan's alarm bells went off, thinking that it must be bad news since the mother and daughter mentioned his name, so he secretly hid in the corner and eavesdropped on their conversation.

After that, I heard one of them desperately persuading her to marry Sun Shan, and the other one strongly opposing to marrying Sun Shan.

Sun Shan thought it didn't matter whether she married him or not, as it was a matter of love between a man and a woman, and it should be something that both parties were willing to do.

But what my cousin said was so hurtful. She said my cousin was short and thin, had triangular eyes, was old-fashioned and boring, and was sickly and unhealthy.

Sun Shan also knew that his appearance and personality were not popular with girls.

But Cousin Zhou Miaomiao, he is your cousin after all, could you please show some mercy when you speak to him?

So Sun Shan decided to take the initiative and make it clear that he knew his cousin Zhou Miaomiao was unwilling to marry him.

Otherwise, Zhou Miaomiao would agree to marry him again tomorrow under the persuasion of Sun Xiaogu and Zhou Erlang.

If I refuse at that time, it will appear that the Sun family is weak, lacks dignity, and looks down on the Zhou family.

Sun Shan decided to embarrass Sun Xiaogu and Zhou Miaomiao instead of himself.

Sun Shan coughed, walked out from the corner, and looked at Sun Xiaogu and Zhou Miaomiao expressionlessly.

Sun Xiaogu was talking excitedly when she was interrupted by the cough. She was startled and when she saw Sun Shan, her eyes widened, she covered her chest, and was stunned.

Zhou Miaomiao turned around and saw her very ugly cousin Shan retreating again and again, huddled closely against Sun Xiaogu, trembling like a frightened bird.

He looked terrified as if he was caught saying bad things about someone behind their back.

Without waiting for Aunt Sun and Zhou Miaomiao to speak, Sun Shan formally bowed and said without any emotion, "Aunt, cousin Miaomiao doesn't want to, don't force it."

After saying this, he didn't even turn his head back. He straightened his body and walked forward step by step, not giving Sun Xiaogu and Zhou Miaomiao a chance to explain.

After waiting for a long time, Zhou Miaomiao asked nervously, "Mother, why is Cousin Shan here? Did he hear everything we said?"

Sun Xiaogu covered her chest and almost fainted.

She also could not have imagined that her nephew would be hiding in a corner and hear every word she said.

There is no need to ask why she knew this, because Sun Shan said, "Aunt, cousin Miaomiao doesn't want to, don't force her", which definitely means that Miaomiao heard everything he said to dislike her.

The fact that Miaomiao couldn't marry Sun Shan was secondary. What was more terrible was that her nephew Shan heard the conversation between mother and daughter, especially the conversation that her daughter said so disgustingly. This would offend her nephew, a scholar, in a way that she couldn't afford to offend.

Who doesn’t mind being called ugly?

Aunt Sun almost fainted. Looking at her confused and frightened daughter, she could not utter any words of blame.

The girl loves a handsome man, she understands. If he is cute, she loves him, but she can't despise an ugly man with talent!

Sun Xiaogu pointed at Zhou Miaomiao and said, "You...you...you..."

You talked for a long time but still couldn't say anything to blame you.

Zhou Miaomiao also knew that she was in trouble, so she lowered her head and dared not say a word.

Ouch, so embarrassing.

My cousin Shan knew what I was thinking.

At the same time, I was secretly thinking, in this case, my mother would definitely not dare to mention the marriage in front of my uncle. Is this a blessing in disguise?

Sun Shan returned to the Sun family's old house as if nothing had happened and continued to entertain the guests.

The seats were packed with distinguished guests, and the wine was flowing.

The dishes at Sun's were not very good, but they were filling, so the guests ate heartily and happily.

After everything was over, Sun Shan found Sun Boming, Su, and Huang.

He told about the conversation between Sun Xiaogu and Zhou Miaomiao that he happened to overhear.

He spoke without reservation and exaggeratedly about Zhou Miaomiao's dislike for him.

Sun Shan would not hide anything and not tell it.

Because he didn't trust Sun Xiaogu, he was afraid that Sun Xiaogu would pretend nothing had happened and still conspire with Zhou Erlang to marry Zhou Miaomiao to him.

Sun Shan was not afraid when he was at home, but he was most afraid when he came back from school on vacation and Sun Boming told him directly that he had already decided to date his cousin Zhou Miaomiao.

Sun Boming and Huang dote on Sun Xiaogu very much. The two of them decided to strengthen the relationship between them. With Sun Xiaogu's superb persuasive power, it is very likely that they will directly marry Zhou Miaomiao and wait for him to come back to get married.

Who can I turn to for justice then?

Sun Shan could throw a tantrum and deny the marriage, but that would not only bring him a bad reputation, but would also be bad for his cousin Zhou Miaomiao.

Although Sun Shan was very angry about what Zhou Miaomiao said to him.

But he could understand a 13-year-old girl who loved handsome men, just as he loved handsome girls.

He is much older than Zhou Miaomiao, and he doesn't want to make a fuss about it. He doesn't want to ruin Zhou Miaomiao's life because of this.

It would be better to come straight to the point and nip this marriage in the bud.

When Sun Bomin, Su and Huang heard Zhou Miaomiao say this about Sun Shan, they were so angry that tears came out of their eyes.

Su, in particular, gnashed her teeth and said, "Mother, Chunjiao is too much. She actually said that about my Shanzi. How did my Shanzi provoke her?"

Su was so angry that she didn't even look at what Zhou Miaomiao looked like and actually dared to look down on his son, a scholar who was extremely talented, handsome and had a bright future.

Who gave her the courage?

If you don't have a mirror to look at yourself in, you can ask your aunt for money to buy one.

Zhou Miaomiao was young and a member of a younger generation, so Su didn't want to scold her, so she started scolding Sun Xiaogu instead.

When Su thought that Sun Xiaogu was actually planning to take advantage of Sun Shan, she became even angrier.

Sun Bomin never expected that Sun Xiaogu and Zhou Miaomiao would say such things behind his back, and he was so angry that he couldn't eat.

It was in vain that he loved Miaomiao so much, but she actually looked down on his Shanzi.

But thinking that Doctor Sun died early, and the brothers and sisters depended on each other, and the eldest brother was like a father, Sun Boming could not say anything to blame Zhou Xiaogu, so he had to swallow his anger.

Huang was also very angry. She never expected her granddaughter Miaomiao to say this about her Shanzi.

In Huang's heart, Shanzi is definitely the first, and no one can say anything.

He sighed and said, "Shanzi, you've been wronged. Don't tell anyone about this. Just keep it to us."

Huang believed what Sun Shan said without a second thought, because her son Sun Shan never lied.

If Sun Xiaogu and Zhou Miaomiao had not said such excessive things, Sun Shan would not have come to complain.

Comparing Sun Xiaogu with Sun Shan, Huang stood on Sun Shan's side unconditionally.

He also said to Sun Bomin and Su: "Chunjiao and Miaomiao's words this time are too much. Alas, it's my fault for not educating my daughter well."

Sun Shan said quickly, "Grandma, don't blame yourself. I told you this because Xiaogu and Miaomiao didn't hide it. If someone heard it, it would be bad for them. Especially Miaomiao, it would be bad if it got out to talk about a man like this."

Huang's eyes were red, she was so moved: "It's hard for my Shanzi to think about doing good for them even after being told this."

Seeing that Shanzi really didn't mind, Su said angrily, "Mother, I'm going to stop here today. I absolutely don't agree with Miaomiao marrying Shanzi. She looks down on Shanzi, and our Sun family can't afford to marry the Zhou family."

Sun Bomin really thought about marrying into the Zhou family. After all, Miaomiao was blessed, with a round face and a love of laughter, which was exactly the "blessed" face that parents liked nowadays. And Sun Xiaogu had been talking about marriage recently, so Sun Bomin was tempted.

Sun Bomin wanted to find a "blessed" wife for Shanzi, so that Sun Shan would be even more blessed.

But when he heard Miaomiao say this about his Shanzi behind his back, he was also very angry.

Su said so, and he nodded and said, "Mother, Shanzi's mother is right, we will not marry into the Zhou family."
