Jiang Qiao was raised by Wang Dahua, and she knows the child's personality and character. If Jiang Qiao could become her granddaughter-in-law, that would be the best thing ever.

But then she thought again and was troubled. "Guihua, it's not that I don't want to agree. I really wish Jiang Qiao could be my grandson's wife. But what if Jiang Qiao doesn't agree?"

Niu Guihua's small eyes flashed with a cold light. "Hmph, she won't agree? She won't have a choice then."

Seeing her daughter-in-law's attitude, the old lady couldn't help but scold her, "No, if Jiang Qiao is unwilling, we can't force her to do this."

Niu Guihua was anxious. "Mother, which one is your real grandson? Why aren't you helping your own grandson?"

Let me tell you, it's so hard to find a wife. With our family's circumstances, who would want to marry into our family?

"Our eldest son's wife was someone we picked up along the way. Otherwise, what do you think? Your eldest grandson probably wouldn't be able to find a wife anytime soon."

The old lady waved her hand impatiently, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. The children are still young, and they're far from getting married. Where are the children? I haven't seen them."

Speaking of her child, Niu Guihua sighed, "Where can he go? He can go out and see the world. He's been here for so long and hasn't had a proper chance to go out and see the world. Mom, we don't have much food left at home. We probably won't have enough for more than a few days. Can you think of a way to help him?"

Speaking of this, Wang Dahua had a headache. "I'll go out and take a look tomorrow. If it doesn't work out, you can go back. If the work here is settled, I'll write to you. We can't all be stuck here. If we can't find a job, it will delay our work in the team."

Niu Guihua was dumbfounded. "Mom, what do you mean? You want to send us back?"

Wang Dahua spread her hands and said, "So what do you want? The grain in the city is all rationed according to the grain ration book. Jiang Qiao and I don't have any proper jobs. We just make a little money by pasting cardboard boxes."

"I'm getting old, and not many people want me to deliver babies anymore. Those who can go to the hospital have already gone. Even if I could still do it, I couldn't do it for much longer; I'm getting old, and age catches up with me."

Wang Dahua is over sixty years old. She really wants to keep her son by her side, but the current situation is not optimistic. Moreover, with the whole family gathered here, not to mention anything else, just the matter of feeding them is a huge pressure.

Niu Guihua didn't want to leave. She had come all this way, but hadn't accomplished anything, and now she was leaving like this. She was unwilling to accept it.

"Mom, let's talk about this later. Your granddaughter is getting older, shouldn't she be looking for a partner? Could you help me find someone suitable? We need to find her a husband in the city. She's already eighteen. What kind of man can she find in the countryside?"

I don't want my child to live like us for the rest of her life. You're her biological grandmother; how can you bear to let your own granddaughter stay in the countryside while an adopted child enjoys a life of luxury in the city?

Speaking of her eldest granddaughter, Wang Dahua was also worried, "Where are we going to find a suitable one in such a short time? We haven't paid attention to this before."

Niu Guihua smiled and helped the old lady into the house. "Mom, what are you looking for? I think there are plenty of young men in this yard."

That young man named Ning Hao is quite good; Jiang Mei has a particularly good impression of him. Why don't you try to mediate?"

After hearing this, Wang Dahua wanted to laugh bitterly. "Ning Hao? Hehe, you really dare to think that way. We may like him, but that Ning kid may not like our Jiang Mei."

"Let me tell you, Ning Hao's father is a high-ranking officer in the military. Do you think the son of such a high-ranking officer would be interested in Jiang Mei? Are you kidding me? They're not even in a good match."

Upon hearing that Ning Hao's father was a high-ranking officer in the military, Niu Guihua immediately perked up. Her daughter had a keen eye and immediately took a liking to the son of a high-ranking officer.

"Mother, wouldn't that be even better? Being an official is so great! If our Jiang Mei can marry Ning Hao, wouldn't our family be living a life of luxury? You should help her make this happen. If you don't help your own granddaughter, who else can you rely on?"

The old lady sighed deeply, "Do you think they're not picky? They don't want so many good girls from the city, why should they take our daughter? And she's from a rural area."

You might think that if Jiang Mei were pretty, Ning Hao might even take a liking to her, but we have to be realistic. Jiang Mei isn't particularly good-looking. What am I supposed to tell him?

Besides, even though we live in the same courtyard, I don't really have much contact with them. If I suddenly show up to propose marriage, fine, that's fine, but if they don't like it, wouldn't I just be making a fool of myself?

As Jiang Qiao walked to the door with several books in her arms, she overheard the old lady and Niu Guihua talking about Ning Hao.

She had no idea where Niu Guihua and her daughter got their confidence from, thinking that Ning Hao couldn't live without their daughter.

I really don't understand the thought process of this mother and daughter. They've only been here a few days, and they're already thinking about Ning Hao. She probably hasn't even met these two people more than a few times.

Especially when she heard Niu Guihua trying her best to persuade the old lady to help her daughter find a match, she couldn't help but shake her head. She was now a little worried. If Niu Guihua could even set her sights on Ning Hao, how could she let her, an adopted child, go unpunished? She really had to be careful of this family in the future.

"Grandma, I'm back. I just got to the door. Why did you mention Brother Ning Hao? What happened to Ning Hao?"

Seeing Jiang Qiao come in, Niu Guihua stopped talking. "Jiang Qiao, go cook. I have something to say to your grandma. There's no one else at home. You can't really ask her for help, can you?"

Jiang Qiao glanced at her and snorted, "I've never dragged anyone into this. I do my own thing, unless someone's heart isn't in the right place."

"Grandma, you rest first, I'll make you some seafood."

The old lady waved her hand weakly. She was exhausted, both physically and mentally. She had found her eldest son, but why were there so many troubles afterward?

Jiang Qiao put the book away, but Niu Guihua had sharp eyes. Seeing what she had brought back, she pouted and said, "Mom, with our family in this situation, how can we afford to send our child to school, especially a girl? Your grandson and the others haven't even started school yet."

Jiang Qiao glared at Niu Guihua. She had seen through Niu Guihua; she knew she couldn't get along with her.

"Auntie, what are you saying? It's as if I'm spending your money. My grandmother used to support my education; that was between my mother and me."

From now on, I will earn my own living and I won't cost you a single penny, so you can rest assured.

I don't object to you children being filial to your elders. I can still support my grandmother even without you.

Also, don't try anything funny with me again, or you'll see.

Since they can't get along peacefully, it's better to be frank. Although the old lady raised her, she is still her own son and grandson. Jiang Qiao really doesn't have the confidence that the old lady will stand by her side.

Enraged, Niu Guihua turned to the old lady and said, "Mom, look what I said! These words are like knives. Can't a person even speak?"

I always said you can't get dog meat off a pig; the stray is just not as good as the real thing.

Wang Dahua glared angrily at her daughter-in-law, "Shut up! You're such a grown woman, and you can't even speak properly."
