Niin kävi kuin pitikin : Yksinäytöksinen näytelmä by Emmi Haapanen
"Niin kävi kuin pitikin : Yksinäytöksinen näytelmä by Emmi Haapanen is a one-act stage play written in the early 20th century. Set in a rural Finnish household around a harvest work party, it portrays the clash between parental ambition and youthful choice, as village gossip, greed, and questions of honesty mount toward a public reckoning. Karilan isäntä schemes to marry his daughter Lissu to the newly rich Värälän Venni, whose money he
hopes to harness for a mill and saw venture, while Lissu loves the modest Patolan Kusti. Despite the mother’s cautions and Lautamies Lieto’s misgivings, the father pushes ahead until the harvest dance exposes everything: Venni’s arrogance meets Lissu’s firm refusal, and the police arrive to arrest Venni for stealing the Patola family’s inheritance. With Venni unmasked, Lieto urges the father to save the family’s honor by blessing Lissu and Kusti. After bluster and hesitation, the father yields, the true couple’s engagement is announced, and the household’s peace is restored—just as the title promises.
