Liu Xiuying replied, "We've been pretty free these past few days, so we can visit you all."

"Come over whenever you have time."

Peng Shiyu looked at the two of them and said, "Perfect, you can continue to learn how to make clothes with me."

Before the New Year, she bought two more sewing machines, and the two of them became her apprentices.

Peng Shiyu prefers the two of them to anyone else.

They are diligent and smart, and although they are not particularly talented, they are all very obedient.

However, it happened to coincide with the Lunar New Year, so they didn't have much time to come and learn how to make clothes.

Now that I have free time, I certainly can't miss it.

"I'm sure I'll be fine."

Zhang Xiuying nodded, then looked at Liu Qingqing, "I wonder if Qingqing can still come and learn to make clothes."

"Qingqing can't come?"

Peng Shiyu was taken aback. "What happened? Did something occur?"

"I, I'm fine."

Liu Qingqing blushed and dared not look at the people beside her.

"I see."

Seeing her expression, Yang Shujue could easily guess the reason. "Qingqing, has your mother found someone for you?"

"real?"

Peng Shiyu was shocked and blurted out, "Isn't this too fast? I didn't hear about this before the New Year. How come you've already taken a liking to someone in just a few days during the New Year holiday?"

"Actually, it's not that fast."

Liu Xiuying explained, "Before the Lunar New Year, Qingqing's mother had already helped her look for a partner, but since she hadn't been engaged yet, it wasn't appropriate to tell everyone."

Now that the two families have met during the Chinese New Year holiday, and both the other party and Qingqing have no objections, they're discussing picking a good date to prepare for the wedding.

"That speed..."

Yang Shujue didn't know what to say, "That was really fast."

"You should talk less."

Lin Jingyu glared at him.

Looking at Liu Qingqing, he asked with a smile, "Qingqing, what family does the other person come from? They must be quite good-looking."

“He’s from my aunt’s village.”

When Liu Qingqing talked about the man she had her eye on, a smile appeared on her face. "He's good-looking, his family are carpenters, and he can do some woodworking too."

He has two brothers and two sisters, making a total of five siblings.

"The population is not small."

Lin Jingyu knew that in this era, it was normal for a family to have five or six children, seven or eight was not uncommon, and it wasn't unheard of for a family to have ten or more children.

So she wasn't too surprised, and asked again, "He has a good skill, at least he has a way to make a living. Is he the eldest son?"

If he's the eldest son in the family, you'll likely have a heavy burden after you marry him; you should be prepared for that.

"yes."

Yang Shujue couldn't help but nod, "You could say that once you enter the family, you have to serve the whole family. If you're the eldest sister-in-law, it's even worse; you'll have to do all the work."

"Don't worry, the man I married is the second son in his family."

Liu Qingqing explained with a smile, "His eldest sister-in-law has already married into the family, and I am the second oldest. As long as I don't stand out, and my husband has a skill, I believe we can live a good life."

"The second son is a little better off."

Yang Shujue muttered, "I said you'd better wait a few months before getting married, don't rush it."

Liu Xiuying asked in surprise, "Shujue, why?"

"Didn't you learn to make clothes from Shiyu?"

Yang Shujue told them frankly, "Qingqing already knows how to use a sewing machine. As long as she learns how to cut and alter clothes, she'll be even more sought after when she marries into the family, you know?"

Liu Xiuying blinked and asked, "You mean if Qingqing could sew clothes, her in-laws would be even happier, right?"

"Not only are her in-laws even happier, but Qingqing can also make a living with this skill in the future."

Lin Jingyu continued, "Actually, knowing how to make ordinary clothes is enough. If you marry into the village and make clothes for the villagers, not only will the work be easy, but you can also earn a living."

"That's right."

Yang Shujue raised her eyebrows at Liu Qingqing, "Then you won't have to do any hard or tiring work. You can just stay home and operate the sewing machine every day. Isn't that great?"

"That's certainly possible."

Liu Xiuying couldn't help but ask Liu Qingqing, "Will your in-laws buy you a sewing machine? If they don't, it's no use knowing how to sew clothes."

“They’re not willing to buy it, Qingqing, you should buy one yourself as part of your dowry.”

Yang Shujue then launched into a long-winded explanation: "If you bring a sewing machine with you when you marry into the family, your in-laws will be even less likely to bully you, and your sister-in-law and sister-in-law will not dare to mistreat you either."

Don't listen to her nonsense.

Lin Jingyu quickly steered the conversation back on track, saying, "Some things can't be solved with a sewing machine; it mainly depends on your ability to get along with people."

Be tactful in your actions; be assertive when necessary, and play the victim when appropriate.

Remember this: don't let others bully you, and don't bully others either.

"Jingyu, Shujue, thank you."

Liu Qingqing knew they were genuinely trying to give her advice, so she explained her situation: "The two families originally planned to hold the wedding on the nearest day."

I think it was said that one was in March and the other in May.

March is the time for spring plowing, and it's not convenient to hold a wedding in the two villages during this busy period, so a date in May should be chosen.

"May is fine."

Peng Shiyu said, "Come and learn whenever you have time. You should be able to make some simple clothes in two or three months."

Once you make more clothes, you'll be able to add your own patterns. Actually, making clothes isn't that difficult.

"Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with my mom."

Liu Qingqing knew that if she wanted to live a good life, she had to be able to earn her own money. "I will try my best to buy a sewing machine to take with me when I get married."
