On the day of the banquet, Ye Yun first sat in Zhao Erjie's room for a while.

During this time, many people came to visit Sister Zhao and her children. Those who were close to her brought clothes for the children, while those who were not close to her brought eggs and brown sugar.

Since Qin Zheng and Lao Si couldn't stay inside, they received their relatives outside the door.

A long table was set up at the entrance of the courtyard, where two elderly relatives of Mao Daxing, with gray hair, were in charge. They kept a clear record of who gave a gift, how much money they gave, or what gifts they gave.

Qin Zheng was a little bored.

Qin Xiang'e asked him and the fourth brother to stand at the door to greet the relatives, but he had a bad reputation, and when he stood there, the relatives who came to drink would avoid him.

How presumptuous of me!

Compared to Qin Zheng, the fourth brother, who was cheerfully entertaining people, seemed even more approachable.

Before long, he was surrounded by several chattering aunties and older women.

"You must be Lingzi's younger brother who got into university? Wow, you're really good-looking. The food in big cities is really nourishing!"

Did your university assign you a job? Do you have an employer? How's the salary?

"Your brother-in-law is the first college student in our town. Your second sister and your mother have finally made it. They'll be living a good life with you from now on!"

The fourth brother had never seen anything like this before. His face flushed slightly as he was questioned, and he kept backing away. "Aunties, please go in and see my sister and my nephew first. I still have to take care of my relatives..."

"Why are you entertaining relatives? Aren't we your sister's relatives?"

The group burst into laughter.

The fourth brother blushed and looked at Qin Zheng with pleading eyes.

Qin Zheng calmly took a drag of his cigarette, chuckled, gave him a "good luck" look, and watched the show with great interest.

The fourth brother gritted his teeth in anger and said, "Fine."

He's such a good brother.

"You lot, stop teasing my brother-in-law! He's a shy young man, you'll scare him away!" Wang Daxing's mother interrupted with a smile as she busied herself helping the cook chop vegetables.

Today is the day for the banquet, and even the laziest mother-in-law like her has endless chores to keep her busy.

Wang Daxing's mother's words not only failed to help the fourth son out of his predicament, but also stirred up the thoughts of several aunts and older women, who then began to besiege the fourth son's marriage.

"Younger brother-in-law, you're in your mid-twenties now, right? Do you have a girlfriend? What kind of girl are you looking for?"

"Yes, yes, there are so many good girls in Maolou, let me introduce you to some!"

"Young man, don't be shy. You're a college student, and your aunt won't treat you badly. I have a niece who's nineteen this year. She graduated from high school and is currently working as a sales clerk at the supply and marketing cooperative. How about I arrange for you two to meet and get to know each other?"

“My dear brother-in-law, I also have a daughter. She’s only eighteen this year. Although she’s not very educated, she’s very pretty. I’ve rejected many suitors. If you’d like to get to know her, you can come to my house to meet her!”

"Pah! Your daughter is pretty, but she's not honest. She attracts some hooligans who climb over the wall to see her every day!"

This remark was met with another burst of laughter.

The old woman who was praising her daughter got angry and reached out to hit the woman who had been rude, yelling, "You shameless old woman! I think you're just jealous that my daughter is pretty!"

The auntie turned and ran, not forgetting to shout sarcastically, "Come on! Your daughter's not honest, and you can't even talk about it!"

The scene was chaotic and disorganized.

The fourth brother was so annoyed by their commotion that he couldn't entertain the relatives anymore. Taking advantage of the chaos, he secretly ran into Sister Zhao's room.

As he entered the house, he happened to bump into a girl who was just coming out of the house.

"Hey! Don't you have eyes?!"

Mao Cuicui cried out in surprise and was knocked aside. Her slanted eyes glared at Lao Si with displeasure.

When she saw the fourth brother's handsome face, which was tinged with shyness, she was stunned for a moment, and two blushes appeared on her cheeks, which were covered with buckwheat husks.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." The fourth brother, unaware that he had attracted attention, quickly apologized and scurried into the house.

However, his arm was suddenly grabbed.

"Are you Sister-in-law Ling's younger brother?" Mao Cuicui grabbed his arm without any hesitation, looking at him with a face full of curiosity.

The fourth brother subconsciously pulled his arm away and nodded obediently, "Mm."

"I've heard Sister Lingzi mention you before."

Mao Cuicui's face lit up with joy, and she even changed how she addressed Zhao Erling.

The fourth brother looked her up and down in surprise, took it as a normal greeting, nodded slightly, and then ran into Zhao Erling's room in silence.

But he didn't see that Mao Cuicui stared at his back for a very long time.

The sounds of aunties and older women discussing something could be heard nearby.

Many people had their eyes on the matchmaking for the fourth son, and were trying to get close to Wang Daxing's mother, who was busy washing vegetables: "Daxing's mother, your future brother-in-law is a college student and quite good-looking. He's really a good matchmaker!"

"I heard he was assigned to work in our town, and his monthly salary is a few dozen yuan!"

"It's not just him who can make money; his mother can also make money selling mung bean cakes now. I heard she can sell one ten-yuan bill a day!"

"Really? Even government employees in town don't get that much!"

"That's absolutely true! I heard that her family has a unique recipe for mung bean cakes, and no other family can make them taste the same. Everyone who wants to buy mung bean cakes goes to her family!"

"Oh my! If any girl marries into that family, she'll be living the high life!"

Someone quickly said to Wang Daxing's mother, "Daxing's mother, we're all relatives, you can't keep this from us. Several of our families have daughters, you have to introduce them to us!"
