Yan Xi obediently followed along, and the eldest daughter-in-law's mother-in-law found an excuse to buy Xiao Xi a set of clothes.

"Xiao Xi, this color suits you well. You look really good in it. It's so nice to be young!" The eldest daughter's mother-in-law was very satisfied.

Yan Xi looked at the new clothes and felt like crying. It was the first time she had ever worn such beautiful clothes, and it turned out that they were there to sell her.

Hu Chuncao was very satisfied with her youngest daughter's new clothes. She looked like a flower bud in them, and the old man would definitely be unable to take his eyes off her.

A day later, Hu Chuncao made Yan Xi put on his new clothes early in the morning.

Yan Xi didn't ask any questions. She put on her new clothes and even dressed herself up a bit. The little girl was already full of energy, and she looked even cleaner and prettier.

Yan Dagen looked at Yan Xi with the same eyes he would use to appraise merchandise.

The eldest daughter's mother-in-law was extremely busy, cleaning the house spotless and having her son kill a chicken and buy meat. The whole family was busier than during the New Year.

Yan Xi sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) and looked out the window. She had been thinking a lot these past few days. She was just a country girl from a poor family. Her parents were always thinking about selling her to get a high dowry. Unless a city person was mentally challenged or disabled, how could they possibly pay a high price to marry her?

It's hard for her to marry a normal young man in the city. If this official is in his thirties, she can barely accept him. He's a good catch, so it doesn't matter if he's older or younger. Younger men wouldn't even look at her, or at her family of bloodsuckers.

As for the other party only wanting the child, Yan Xi felt that she was young, beautiful, and smart. Would an older man be willing to let her go? It was uncertain who would leave in the end. But if it was an old man, then she would run away...

Around noon, a car pulled up in front of the door, and the eldest daughter's family hurried out to greet it.

Hu Chuncao and Yan Dagen sat on the kang (a heated brick bed), craning their necks to watch. The couple exchanged a glance. "He drives a car. With these conditions, it would be great if Lao Yatou could marry into his family. She could even be his concubine. Why would they need San Yatou?"

A middle-aged man in his thirties got off the car. He was of medium height, a little overweight, and of average appearance. He greeted the old lady with a smile.

Yan Xi's gaze was fixed on the man. She felt a little disappointed, but at least he wasn't an old man, so she could barely accept it.

The middle-aged man went into the house with the eldest daughter's mother-in-law and spoke with her alone for a while.

Grandma Da Yatou came over happily and called Hu Chuncao and Yan Xi over.

Yan Xi entered the house with her head down. The middle-aged man glanced at her and nodded to the eldest maid and her mother-in-law.

The eldest daughter's mother-in-law's eyes crinkled with laughter. It wasn't that she cared about the kickback; she just wanted to build a connection with them so that they would definitely help her if anything happened in the future.

"Xiao Xi, go to the kitchen and help your older sister cook." Now that it was time to get down to business, the eldest daughter's mother-in-law sent Yan Xi out.

Yan Xi nodded and went to the kitchen.

“My daughter is the prettiest girl in our village. She’s smart and capable. Look at that big bottom, she’s sure to give birth to a son,” Hu Chuncao praised.

The middle-aged man gave the eldest daughter's mother a wink.

The eldest daughter immediately smiled and said, "If she doesn't want to get pregnant, can I introduce her to someone? My dear in-law, let's be clear from the start, what if this girl can't get pregnant anytime soon..."

“How could that be? My daughter has no problems at all. As her mother, I know that best,” Hu Chuncao immediately retorted. The inability to conceive might be the man’s problem, but it could never be her daughter’s problem.
