Spring comes to the desperate place

Chapter 417 Never Marry

"It's fine if the older one doesn't want to, but why is the younger one like this? And there's also Gensheng. Oh my, your aunt and I are really going to be pissed off."

The more Song Qin thought about it, the sadder she became. She worked so hard to take care of the household, but these children were more stubborn than each other and refused to get married no matter what she said. This was becoming a source of worry for her two sisters-in-law.

Song Chunxiao was like a quail, letting his mother scold him without daring to say a word. He only stole glances at Song Chunlin from time to time, praying that his second brother could save him.

Song Chunlin waited until Song Qin had vented her anger before continuing to speak.

"How about letting me take my brother to the military camp to gain some experience? He's only fourteen, the right age for him to venture out into the world."

When Song Chunxiao heard that his second brother was going to throw him into the military camp, his eyes widened like copper bells, and he was horrified to find that his mother's face looked thoughtful. It's over, she really despises him, so wouldn't his life be over?

Upon realizing this, Song Chunxiao slid down to her knees and hugged Song Chunlin's thighs, crying, "Second brother, my dear second brother, you can't be so heartless, I'm still a child!"

Hearing Song Chunxiao calling him a child, Song Chunlin was so angry that he almost laughed. He shook his legs in annoyance, but failed to shake off the boy because he was holding him quite tightly.

"You little bastard, let me go quickly. If you don't let me go, I will throw you into the military camp. Believe it or not."

Song Chunxiao tried to bargain with his second brother: "I won't do this unless you promise not to throw me into the barracks."

Oh, the brat actually dared to threaten him. Song Chunlin slapped him on the head.

"Ouch! It hurts so much. Second brother is so cruel." Song Chunxiao covered his head and muttered to himself. He wanted to resist, but when he saw the look in his brother's eyes, he immediately wilted.

Song Chunlin pulled his brother to sit on the chair and started to get down to business.

"Tell me, why do you reject the marriage your mother proposed to you?"

Song Chunxiao answered awkwardly: "I don't want to settle it so early. Besides, my third brother hasn't decided yet, and neither has my brother Gensheng..." His voice became smaller and smaller because Song Qin's face became darker and darker.

Song Qinshi had just been appeased by Song Chunlin and stopped dwelling on Song Chunming's affairs, but this brat brought it up again, and Song Qinshi's mind became active again.

She took Song Chunlin's hand and asked him if there were any suitable wives of officials in the capital, and asked him to help Song Chunming look for one in the capital.

"Ah, I'm not as familiar with the capital as my sister-in-law. Why don't I go back and ask Madam An Huaibo? She must be familiar with it. But we are from a small family, so I'm afraid no one will look up to us."

Song Qinshi didn't care about family background. She cared more about what that person thought of Song Chunming's marriage. Even after so many years, Song Chunming was once a nobleman. If he were to marry a woman from a small farming family, the person above him would probably not be satisfied. This was also the reason why Song Qinshi insisted that Song Chunming agree.

Only if it meets Song Chunming's wishes can the marriage be considered complete, and there is no need to worry about that person blaming her.

Now that it is obvious that these people in the village are not in agreement with Song Chunming, she thinks of going to the city to look for one. Even if she is not in a hurry to get married, she can settle down first. Song Chunming is already seventeen years old after the Chinese New Year, and men of his age in the village already have children. How can Song Qinshi not be anxious?

Song Chunlin verbally agreed to help Song Chunming find a wife, but he actually didn't care. In his previous life, Song Chunming was just a high school kid at his age. Why would a high school student get married or have children? Moreover, he now wanted to further his studies, which was a good thing, and he had no reason to stop him.

After dealing with Song Chunming, Song Qin continued to criticize Song Chunxiao. Finally, under Song Chunlin's comfort and persuasion, Song Qinshi gave up her obsession with getting Song Chunxiao engaged immediately. However, she was still thinking in her heart whether there were any unmarried girls or boys of the right age in the surrounding villages. If she didn't like them now, wouldn't she like them more after some matchmaking?

As soon as Song Chunlin saw Song Qinshi's expression, he knew that she definitely had not let it go completely. But it didn't matter anymore. Marriage is a serious matter and should not be treated lightly. In the final analysis, both parties have to be willing. Looking at Song Chunxiao's attitude, which was even more wooden than Song Chunming's, he was not worried at all that the child would fall in love too young.

After dragging Song Chunxiao out of the house, Song Chunlin certainly didn't think of really throwing him into the military camp. Those words were just used to scare him. It was the same rhetoric as Song Chunming. Song Chunlin asked his brother, if he didn't want to get married, he should think about what he wanted to do. Although there was no need to take the college entrance examination in ancient times, Song Chunlin didn't want his brother to be a mediocre person all his life. At least within his ability, he wanted to give his brother the greatest freedom.

"What can I do? I don't know. My eldest brother can farm, but I'm not interested in it. Second brother, you're a good archer and can fight in battle, but I don't even dare to kill a chicken. Third brother is also very good. Every time the villagers build a house, he will go to watch. Now he can also teach the craftsmen a thing or two. I like math. I can count quickly and well, but what else can I do besides being an accountant? If my family had a business, my skills would be useful, but the problem is that my family doesn't have a business, so what good is my math?"

Song Chunlin knocked on his brother's head and said, "You idiot, arithmetic is much more useful. You just haven't explored its secrets yet. So, I'll give you a few more math exercise books. Try to see if you can do them. I'll come back in a few days to check your homework."

"Huh? There's still homework."

"Why, you don't want to do your homework? Do you want to go on a blind date instead?"

Song Chunxiao shook his head frantically: "No, no, no, I really like doing homework, brother, good second brother, give me the homework quickly."

Song Chunlin poked his brother's head impatiently, signaling him to stay away from him.

"Wait, I have to go to my second uncle's house next door later. The problem with your brother Gensheng is the real trouble. Please behave yourself for the time being, okay?"

Hearing that Song Chunlin was going to the next door to deal with Li Gensheng's problem, Song Chunxiao immediately shut up. Indeed, Li Gensheng's problems were much bigger than theirs. Song Chunming and Song Chunxiao were at most not interested in marriage and did not want to get married at the moment, but Li Gensheng had no intention of starting a family at all. No matter what Song Daha and Chen Yuer said, he was unwilling to go and see them, and even threatened that he would never marry in this life, which almost made Song Daha and his wife faint with anger.
