Gu An'an grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and gave them to her, saying, "You know my situation; I have several children to support."

Su Sanniang laughed when she heard this, and nudged Gu An'an with her shoulder, "What's there to be afraid of? He only spoke to me because he saw that you take good care of your children. He also has four children at home. Look, you have four and he has four. Isn't that fair?"

Gu An'an: "...So you just want to find a wet nurse?"

These words were a bit too blunt, which made Su San Niang a little embarrassed. "How can you say that? You've met that Scholar Cao before, haven't you? He used to come to your shop to eat often."

Gu An'an was momentarily dazed. "Him?"

Goodness, this guy definitely wants me to be his nanny, since I can take care of the kids and cook great meals.

That's a really clever little scheme.

Even if Gu An'an likes children, eight children...

Give her a block of tofu and let her smash her head against it to die.

Su Sanniang started speaking, "Yes, Scholar Cao has a tough fate. The fortune teller said he's bad luck with wives, so he should find someone with a tough fate."

The raging waves crashed against Gu An'an, making her vision go black. "Am I tough?"

"He had someone look at your fortune, and the fortune teller said you have a strong destiny and are destined to be a noblewoman."

Gu An'an blurted out, "Good heavens, was this Scholar Cao an accountant in his past life?"

How can you be so good at calculating?

One wave higher than the next.

To become a Lady of Imperial Decree.

So, her lucky charm is that she's destined to bring good fortune to her husband.

"How can you say that? Although Scholar Cao is a bit older than you, older men know how to care for others."

Gu An'an felt like she had a live commentary in her mind. Forget it.

Why don't you just say that older men aren't very capable?

There's no fun left in bed.

Now that she has money and is a beautiful, single young widow, wouldn't it be great to find a younger, more attractive man?

Why bother with those old fogies?

Gu An'an remained silent for a moment, which led Su San Niang to misunderstand, "Then it's settled. I'll talk to Scholar Cao and ask him to find a matchmaker to propose marriage to you."

Mention...mention what?

What do you mean it's settled?

Gu An'an was about to call for help when, unexpectedly, more people entered the shop.

"It's been a while since I've seen her. I never expected that Madam Gu would be remarrying. Congratulations!"
