Su Ning and He Ci did not return for lunch, leaving only Su Qiang and Li Mei at home.

At the dinner table, Li Mei sighed repeatedly. She was so upset that she couldn't eat. She had thought that the relationship between the two of them was over, but unexpectedly, He Ci came looking for her again. She didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

He was even willing to marry into her family, showing he was determined to be with her daughter. However, the two families were not a good match, so how far could such a marriage go?

Su Qiang usually listens to his wife in everything, and this time was no exception. He Ci's status was not something that peasants like them could even dream of.

“Daughter-in-law, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. We shouldn’t interfere too much. Fate is predetermined by heaven. The fact that the boy was able to find you means that the two children’s fate is not yet over.”

Some were happy, some were sad. Su Tian's mother had also heard about Su Ning's family's situation! At the dinner table, she kept gossiping.

"I don't know what the second son and his wife were thinking, they actually found Su Ning a son-in-law to live with them. They're planning to support her for life."

Su Tian woke up late that morning and hadn't left the house yet, unaware that the news had already gone viral outside.

"Mom, what's this about a son-in-law who lives with his wife's family?"

Li Xiaojuan glanced at her daughter and said, "You're not getting any younger. I'll ask someone to find you a husband soon. Look at Su Ning, she quietly found a son for your aunt."

"I heard that the young man is quite good-looking. He boasted that he wouldn't ask for a bride price and would even give Su Ning money, and that he would become the second son's son-in-law."

Su Tian almost spat out her soup before she could even finish it. She was terrified. Seriously? Someone like He Ci, who single-handedly took down half a gang, was actually going to become a live-in son-in-law of the Su family.

Su Tian was horrified just thinking about it. If a man like that dared to marry into her family, would her uncle and aunt dare to accept him?

Sun Man and Wang Meng were also shocked by this. Their reactions were no less than Su Tian's. They thought they must have gotten up wrong today. How could that man be willing to lower himself to become a live-in son-in-law?

Sun Man's mother had met He Ci that morning. She thought the young man was a good person, handsome and polite. Why didn't such a good young man come to her house to marry into the family?

If Sun Man knew what her mother was thinking, she'd probably want to die. She admitted He Ci was handsome and refined... well, he was a pervert.

After dinner, Su Tian, ​​Sun Man, and Wang Meng met up. They agreed to go find Su Ning and sound her out. None of them believed that He Ci would do such a thing.

As they passed by the crowd, they could vaguely hear people gossiping, discussing Su Ning and He Ci.

Good heavens, He Ci is really something, becoming famous overnight in the village. How dare he say he wants to marry into the family?

In the countryside, only families with no male heirs would take in a son-in-law. Su Ning also has a younger brother, so outsiders couldn't understand why her family would take in a son-in-law.

Many people believe that Su Ning was attracted to He Ci's face; even the youngest daughter and wife who had seen He Ci's face that morning were drawn to him.

Su Lei heard the news as soon as he entered the village. Since Su An was on holiday today, he picked him up and took him home.

Su An saw that the door to her house was locked, and she didn't know where her parents were. The New Year was just around the corner, and everyone was busy preparing for the holiday. They must have gone to the market.

Meanwhile, Su Qiang and Li Mei were in the county town. They looked at the farm tricycle in front of them. Li Mei swallowed the words of reprimand she wanted to say, after all, He Ci had bought the tricycle for their family.

The reason is that Su Ning bought too many things for He Ci. She knows that He Ci is a germaphobe and probably won't be used to the household items at home.

Su Ning bought He Ci new washbasins, towels, toothbrushes, thermos flasks, and blankets. When it was time to leave, she realized that there were too many things for them to take with them.

He Ci pointed to the farm tricycle parked by the roadside. The back of the vehicle was large and looked very practical. This kind of tricycle is very common in rural areas, and almost every well-off family owns one.

“Where can we buy that kind of car? Let’s buy one too. Call your uncle and have him come drive it. This is the first time I’ve seen one like this, and I’m not familiar with how to operate it.”

Su Ning was stunned. "Brother Ci! There's no need to buy a car. Just tie all these things to the car, and I can walk home."

He Ci wouldn't let Su Ning walk home; he would feel bad if she walked such a long way back. In the end, Su Ning couldn't persuade him otherwise, so the two of them could only go to the car dealership.

He Ci really wanted to buy a car, but he felt it was impractical to drive it in the countryside and it would attract envy. He didn't want to cause trouble for the Su family.
