Since it's impossible, I might as well work hard to make money. Once I have money, I won't have to worry about finding a wife.

The county was making quite a big deal out of it, which made Liu Yuelan eager to get involved.

As soon as Song Ning returned, Liu Yuelan kept glancing at her daughter, wondering to herself that her daughter didn't seem interested in the matter.

"Mother, is there something you want to say?"

Liu Yuelan put down her work, pulled her daughter into the house, and whispered, "Er Ya, everyone's been busy arranging marriages for eligible girls lately. I'd like to ask what you think."

If Zhou Ling'an is the most sought-after boy, then Song Ning is the most sought-after girl.

Everyone always thought that if a family married Er Ya, it would be a great blessing, and the family would surely prosper.

Many people have recently tried to sound out Liu Yuelan's opinion, but her daughter is a woman of her own mind, so she hasn't dared to agree directly.

“You’ll be fourteen soon, it’s time to think about this.”

In other families, girls are already eager to be married by the time they turn thirteen; if they're eighteen or nineteen, they're considered grown women.

"Mother, I'm not in a hurry. Didn't we agree that I would find a son-in-law to carry on the family line?"

Although Song Ning had said this before, Liu Yuelan and Song Dahai took it as a joke from their daughter.

“This, this won’t do. Not to mention that it’s not easy to find a son-in-law, even if you do, people will gossip about you. I don’t want to suffer like you.”

In this era, even princesses had to follow their husbands after marriage, let alone ordinary people like them.

"Mother, I don't care. As long as we're doing well, let others say what they want."

However, few men in the Jin Dynasty married into their wives' families; most considered it an insult to their dignity.

Once someone marries into another family, they will be looked down upon and their reputation will suffer.

So Song Ning had also thought that if there was really no other way, she would look for someone who was homeless, whose family had fallen on hard times, or who was willing to sell themselves.

If it weren't for her parents, she would never have a problem not getting married in her life.

Liu Yuelan knew her daughter didn't mean it that way, so she didn't press her, but others thought otherwise.
