Su Dahai shook his head helplessly. After thinking about it, he actually found that this twisted logic actually made some sense.

"Great-grandfather and great-grandmother, Grandpa and Grandma, come and collect your money! If it's not enough, come to me in a dream and I'll burn more for you..."

Su Chengguo continued in his style; that's how he believed it.

Su Dahai poured himself a glass of wine every now and then.

Su Chenggong and Li Xue were both very quiet, and their nephews were also well-behaved, burning paper money and kowtowing as instructed.

Su Luo took Su Tiantian back from Zhou Chunmei's arms. Looking at Su Tiantian's little face, Su Luo's heart was touched. She thought that if she were to pass away in the future, and if there really was another world, she would do everything in her power to protect her baby.

She would be willing to die of exhaustion in the next world as long as her child is doing well.

Looking at Su Luo, Su Tiantian felt the warmth and love that Su Luo showered upon her, and she smiled slightly.

"Ah~"

My mom loves me, and I will love my mom too.

She didn't want her mother to suffer either; her mother wanted to be happy for the rest of her life.

Su Luo hugged Su Tiantian tightly, feeling sweetness filling her heart.

"Alright, alright, get ready and go to bed early."

After all the prepared items had been burned, Su Dahai spoke.

Everyone should go to bed early tonight.

That night, after Liu Xiaohua fell asleep, she asked Su Dahai, "Old man, do you think what the second brother said was fallacy or truth?"

Su Dahai was surprised that Liu Xiaohua had taken Su Chengguo's words to heart, but then he smiled and said, "What do you think after hearing this? If it were you, would you blame future generations for being incompetent?"

Liu Xiaohua shook her head: "How could I bear to blame them? If I can truly bless them after I die, I wish this old woman could actually be of some use. He was my son, so whatever he is, he's mine. No matter how good other people's families are, they're not mine. So I still care about myself..."

How to explain the bond between children?

Liu Xiaohua is the kind of person who can never let go of her child.

If the child is unfilial and goes astray, then the relationship may be severed.

But if her children are hardworking and diligent, how could she turn a blind eye?

"This kid isn't as steady as the eldest, but he's so sincere. It's a good thing he didn't have any bad intentions, otherwise I'd be worried that we'd be biased."

Su Dahai sighed.

Everyone loves to hear what Su Chengguo has to say.

If parents are a bit muddle-headed, they can really be extremely biased.

The eldest son is steady and reliable, and steady people are also honest. Honest people are prone to being taken advantage of.

"No, if he has any ulterior motives, you'll teach him a lesson. Our boss is kind-hearted and doesn't hold grudges. If we're unfair, he'll be upset, and his temper will get the better of him."

Liu Xiaohua leaned against Su Dahai and said with a smile.

The two sons have different temperaments, but they are both their own children, and they know their own children best.

The harmony of a family depends entirely on how the parents maintain a balance.

Su Dahai did this first, and she saw it, so she was able to do it even better.

"Having witnessed so much parental favoritism, I'm still learning. I wouldn't dare say I'm doing a good job, but I'll try my best. Being a parent is a skill we need to learn for a lifetime."

Su Dahai was a little embarrassed, but he was very happy.

Gaining his wife's approval was an immense source of pride and honor for him.

As night deepened, everyone drifted off to sleep.

...

Early morning of July 18th.

The Su family, father and two sons, packed their things and prepared to set sail.

After they left, Zhou Chunmei and Li Xue also went to the beach.

Liu Xiaohua was at home, and Su Luo was also at home.

Dai Pingan came to the Su family to teach Su Luo to identify medicinal herbs.

Someone knocked on the door, and Liu Xiaohua went to open it.

The woman who arrived was completely unfamiliar to me.

"Who are you?"

Liu Xiaohua looked at the woman with a question in her eyes. She was certain that she had never seen this person before, nor had she seen him among her relatives.

"Good morning, elder sister. My name is Wang Po. I'm a matchmaker. Would you mind coming in to talk?"

The woman was called Wang Po, and she made a living as a matchmaker.

He was also asked to come to the Su family's house.

Liu Xiaohua paused for a moment when she heard that it was a matchmaker, then shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, my daughter isn't looking for a husband right now. Please leave."

Su Luo only gave birth two months ago, so she wouldn't agree to a marriage proposal at this time.

As she spoke, Liu Xiaohua closed the door, not even letting Wang Po in.

Granny Wang looked at the Su family's door, sighed, and turned to leave.

Liu Xiaohua breathed a sigh of relief after closing the door; thankfully, she hadn't disturbed Su Luo.

Su Luo has a talent for medicine and wants to study it, and she is only eighteen years old.

Instead of being troubled by romantic feelings, it's better to learn a useful skill.

If your daughter is capable, why worry about not having good men pursuing her?

...

Zhou Chunmei and Li Xue went to the beach to go beachcombing.

The two planned to dig for some clams and then go home.

They had only dug up one section when they came across a clam nest.

The two sisters-in-law were having a great time picking them up.

A woman approached and said enviously, "You're so lucky to have found a clams nest like this. Let me help you pick them up."

The woman then began to help.

Zhou Chunmei and Li Xue both frowned, thinking the woman was there to steal it, but to their surprise, she picked it all up and put it in Zhou Chunmei and Li Xue's buckets.

They really came to help.

After picking through this area, the bucket was already half full.

"Thank you."

Zhou Chunmei smiled slightly and thanked her, but she still felt that this woman was a bit strange.

"Hey, we're all from the same village, no need for thanks. Actually, my surname is Xie. My name is Xie Juan. I'm older than you, so if you don't mind, you can just call me Sister Juan."

Xie Juan greeted Zhou Chunmei and Li Xue as if they were old friends.

Hello, Sister Juan.

Li Xue gave a casual greeting.

Zhou Chunmei smiled and said, "Thank you."

They were originally from the same village, but I guess they lived on the other side of the bay.

Even within a village, there are some people you've never seen before.

There's no intersection without something going on.

"By the way, your aunt has been back for so long, have you thought about her situation?"

Xie Juan asked with a smile.

Li Xue and Zhou Chunmei exchanged glances, both sensing discomfort in each other's eyes.

"I don't know what you're talking about?"

Zhou Chunmei looked at Xie Juan and asked.

Xie Juan looked around, then lowered her voice and said, "Of course it's a major life event like marriage. Don't take it lightly. I know you're all good people and treat this sister-in-law very well, but as the saying goes, a small favor can breed resentment."

"She's still young, and her child is still small. It's easy for her to find a good family now, but it won't be so easy when the child grows up. No man wants to be a father to someone else's child. They all think that the child won't be well-behaved and will be a waste of time. If she can't get married later, seeing how loving you two are, she'll definitely resent you."

Xie Juan continued to express her own views, and after she finished speaking, she felt that she made a lot of sense, so she added, "I'm here to help you."

Zhou Chunmei rolled her eyes: "Thank you so much, but you don't need to worry about my family's affairs."

I thought it was something serious, but it turns out it's just like this?

Zhou Chunmei didn't want to pay any attention to her anymore, picked up the bucket and left, and Li Xue immediately followed her.
