Chapter 365 An old heart never grows old
"Gui Lian, don't you know what's going on with this bastard?"
At this point, Du Guan paused and glared at Du Wenxuan hatefully. Given their family's situation, it was actually not difficult to find a marriage for this kid.
When the boy reached the marriageable age, he was ready to ask someone to find a marriage for him. However, the boy did nothing serious and instead hung out with his bad friends in the county town.
He hasn't done anything bad, but he keeps making small mistakes and has a bad reputation. Who would be willing to marry him?
Du Wenxuan said dissatisfiedly: "Dad, what do you mean? What is my situation? Is my situation very bad?"
Du Guanqiang endured the urge to beat Du Wenxuan to vent his anger. Doesn't this bastard know whether he is good or not?
How dare you ask such a question?
He doesn't even know.
Where does this bastard get the nerve!
Du Guan was too lazy to argue with this bastard, lest he get mad at himself. Besides, he had more important things to do at the moment, so he changed the subject:
"Gui Lian, you have been trying to find a partner for this bastard over the years, but don't you know what's going on?"
Hearing this, Zhang Guilian glared at Du Wenxuan angrily. Over the years, she had suffered a lot in order to find a marriage for this little bastard. Not only had she suffered from the matchmaker, but also from the woman.
But the girl knew that the marriage was for their little bastard, so not only the parents, but even the daughters, no one was willing.
In order to arrange a marriage for this bastard, she lost face again and again. She was almost too embarrassed to face people in Qingyun County. The women who didn't get along with her often made fun of her for this bastard.
Zhang Guilian said angrily, "Du Guan, why are you talking about all this nonsense? I just want to ask you, I'll come out and embarrass myself in front of my eldest brother's family, help you and my eldest brother break the ice, and let you get benefits, can you really find a way to find a marriage for this bastard?"
"Talking about a marriage?"
Du Guan sneered, as if he had heard a huge joke.
Seeing that the anger on Zhang Guilian's face became more intense, he knew that this bastard's marriage was the most anxious thing for his wife at the moment.
Who made his wife laugh at this bastard's marriage?
He was afraid that his wife would get angry and beat him up.
Du Guan hurriedly explained, "If we want to find a marriage for this bastard now, we have to pay a high price for the bride price. It's better to say that we are buying a wife for this bastard than marrying him. You know the situation of our family. How can we have extra money to buy a wife for this bastard?"
Of course, their family was not without savings. They had been rich for many years, and he had never been reckless - he had the intention but not the courage, because Zhang Guilian, that shrew, had so many abilities.
Even though he is a man, he can't get away with it in front of Zhang Guilian.
Apart from paying for the schooling of that little bastard Du Wenxuan, their family had almost no extra expenses, and they had saved some money over the years.
It would have been more than enough to either find a marriage for this bastard or buy him a wife, but he didn't do it.
Firstly, this bastard is not too old and is not in a hurry to get married. Secondly, he is worried that if he gives the money to Du Wenxuan to get married, it will become a problem for him to support himself in his old age.
Is he counting on that bastard Du Wenxuan to take care of him in his old age?
It’s better to dream!
It's true that he is Du Wenxuan's biological father, but after so many years, he must know what his own child is. If he becomes useless when he's old, it would be good if this bastard doesn't kick him out of the house.
Provide him with retirement care?
Maybe he has to do odd jobs at home before this bastard is willing to give him a bite of food.
Moreover, he knew exactly how much this bastard weighed. He couldn't even support himself, so how could he have the energy to support him?
Under all circumstances, even if he was out of his mind, he would not dare to spend all his money - no, even two-thirds of his money - on this bastard.
He has to think about himself.
Zhang Guilian opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but when the words came to her lips, she was too embarrassed to say them. After glaring at Du Wenxuan hatefully, she stood up and walked briskly towards where Li Ping and others were gathered.
Before she had taken a few steps, Zhang Guilian seemed to have thought of something. She stopped, turned her head and looked at Du Guan, saying:
"I've taken the humiliation this time to help you get back on track with my eldest brother's family so that you can do business with my eldest brother. When you make money, you must find a marriage partner for our Wen Xuan as soon as possible, otherwise you'll see how I deal with you!"
For so many years, she has been doubting whether this little bastard is his biological son, and whether Du Guan treats this little bastard as his own son. He has made so much money, and asking him to spend the money to find a suitable marriage for his child is like asking for the old man's life.
He was reluctant to spend even a penny!
There are countless reasons that can be given.
She was full of complaints about this matter, but since this old man was the head of their family, he also promised that he would find a marriage for this little bastard at the right time.
It’s because you think it’s too expensive to arrange a marriage for this little bastard - no, it’s because buying a wife is too expensive and you can’t bear to spend the money!
no way.
Knowing that it is impossible to squeeze a single copper coin out of this old guy, he stopped forcing him. At least this old guy still had some attitude, which meant that he did not ignore the marriage of this little bastard.
"Gui Lian, look at what you said. Could it be that Wen Xuan is just your son and not my son? You are the only one who values your marriage, but don't I value his marriage? Our Du family is counting on him to carry on the family line!"
Du Guan snorted in dissatisfaction and said in a bad tone: "Before, we didn't have money, so we couldn't find him a marriage. Now if we can make a lot of money, let alone find him one marriage, even if you find him two - no, three marriages, I don't mind!"
Succession?
He just said it. He is old, but he refuses to admit his age. He is still able to have children, so he doesn't necessarily need this bastard to carry on the Du family's lineage. It's not like he is incapable of carrying on the family line.
of course.
He still has to make more money. If he doesn't have money, which young and beautiful woman would be willing to give birth to children for an old man?
"Really?"
Du Wenxuan's eyes suddenly lit up, he swallowed, suppressed his excitement, and said, "Dad, can you really help me find two - no, three marriage proposals?"
Du Guan ignored Du Wenxuan, the useless big shot, and looked up at Zhang Guilian.
"Three marriages? I, your mother, will be satisfied if I can find a marriage for you, a bastard!"
Zhang Guilian snorted coldly, and her fierce eyes frightened Du Wenxuan so much that he lowered his head, not daring to look at her. He stood up and said, "Old man, remember what you promised me. If you fail to do it, I will peel off your skin!"
