With this attitude towards my sister, you still want to introduce me to someone? Dream on!

Aunt Rong's face turned pale, and she looked at Qin Ye in disbelief. "Your sister is in charge? She's a young woman who will get married sooner or later. What right does she have to make decisions? Don't your parents care? Isn't this spoiling the child too much?"

"You're a boy, you're supposed to inherit the family business, how can you let your sister make the decisions? After your parents pass away, won't they just give all the inheritance to your sister? What will you have then?"

Qin Ye and Qin Xiaoxiao exchanged a glance and were both stunned.

There are also people in the village who prefer sons to daughters, and they are used to it, but they never expected that there would be such strange people in the city.

Qin Ye's face darkened. "That's how my family is. This is my own sister. My parents are willing to spoil her, and I'm happy to see my sister being pampered. Not only do my parents spoil her, but I also cherish my sister dearly. So what? This is my family's business. What's it to you?"

"Little sister, let's go, we won't buy anything."

Qin Ye pulled Qin Xiaoxiao away, and Sun Zhirou didn't even glance at Aunt Rong before quickly following them to see them off.

After walking around to the front of the supply and marketing cooperative, Sun Zhirou looked at the two apologetically, "I'm so sorry, I know she favors boys over girls, but I didn't expect that just buying some yarn from her would lead to Xiaoxiao being scolded and causing so much trouble."

Qin Xiaoxiao grabbed Sun Zhirou's hand, "What does this have to do with Second Aunt? It's all that Aunt Rong's fault. Second Aunt, don't take it to heart. I won't buy it."

What bad luck! Not only did she fail to buy any yarn, but her brother has also been targeted. If it were a good family, it would be fine, but Aunt Rong is clearly no good. If he really marries her daughter, her brother is sure to have a hard time.

Qin Xiaoxiao was unaware that her older brother had indeed caught the eye of Aunt Rong, who would chat with Sun Zhirou whenever she had free time, constantly praising her daughter and inquiring about Qin Ye.

Sun Zhirou could tell right away that she was displeased. While making excuses, she sent a message home, urging Qin Ye to find a suitable match quickly, lest this old woman take advantage of her again someday.

On the other side, Qin Xiaoxiao and Qin Ye walked along the road with dark expressions after leaving the supply and marketing cooperative. They walked quickly without saying a word, and the atmosphere became inexplicably tense. After a while, Qin Xiaoxiao turned to Qin Ye and said, "Brother, hurry up and find me a sister-in-law. With your looks, you're too tempting to commit crimes. You'll get into trouble sooner or later."

Sure enough, trouble struck. Her brother's official partner was going to the countryside after the New Year. Marrying into the Qin family was all the female lead's scheme. If she hadn't jumped into the river and been saved by Qin Ye who happened to be passing by, the Qin family would never have considered her as a daughter-in-law.

Qin Ye hadn't originally planned to get married so early, but now...

It doesn't seem like it's impossible.

Qin Ye felt a chill run down his spine when he recalled Aunt Rong's clingy gaze.

"Could it be that Aunt Rong is planning to marry her daughter to me?"

Qin Xiaoxiao nodded, "That's right. Second Aunt gave me a wink. She has a daughter who seems to have taken a liking to you and wants you to be her son-in-law." (Son-in-law means son-in-law)

Qin Ye's face darkened again. "Damn her. My future wife has to get along with you. If she's even slightly unkind to you, I'll get a divorce."

Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Qin Ye with emotion and squeezed her small hand into Qin Ye's warm palm. "Brother, having you as my brother in this life, my life has not been in vain."

Who spoils their younger sister like this? No matter how much he spoils her, it can't compare to his own wife, the person he'll spend his whole life with.

However, Qin Ye said that his future wife must treat her well, which shows that in Qin Ye's heart, her position is unshakable, and she is at least much more important than his sister-in-law, who is still nowhere to be found.

Qin Xiaoxiao never thought she could compare to her sister-in-law. She just hoped that the two of them could get along peacefully. She didn't need to be particularly good to each other, as long as Qin Ye didn't make things difficult for her.

If all else fails, she's willing to compromise. As long as her brother is happy, she doesn't mind suffering a little loss.

No, her brother has been so good to her, she has to do something to repay him.

Qin Xiaoxiao decided that the first sweater she would make would be knitted for her brother.

If the supply and marketing cooperative doesn't have it, go to the black market.

Qin Xiaoxiao walked with firm steps toward the black market to the south. Qin Ye didn't know where Qin Xiaoxiao wanted to go, so he didn't ask any questions and just followed her.

The two quickly arrived at the alley entrance of the black market. Qin Ye paused and suddenly stopped.

“Sister, you can’t go here. Have you forgotten what Grandma said? Grandma’s stick is still stuck at the door.”

Qin Xiaoxiao swallowed hard upon hearing this, hesitated for only a moment, and continued walking inside. "It's okay, at worst I'll get a beating from Grandma. I'm definitely buying this yarn today."

Qin Ye had no choice but to follow, but after entering the alley, he grabbed Qin Xiaoxiao and said, "Disguise yourself so no one can tell. Also, you wait outside while I go in. If you see anyone outside the alley, leave immediately. If you hear shouting or whistling, run away and don't worry about me."

When Qin Xiaoxiao saw that Qin Ye was planning to go in by himself, she became anxious, "How can that be? I have to go, you don't know what kind I want to buy."

Qin Ye disagreed, "No need to think about it, you must stay outside, otherwise we'll go back now."

Qin Xiaoxiao paused, then frowned slightly. "Fine, I'll go back then. Anyway, I won't let you go in alone."

What if something really bad happens? It's not worth risking her brother's life for two pounds of yarn.

Seeing Qin Xiaoxiao turn back without hesitation, Qin Ye laughed and grabbed her, saying, "Alright, your brother is a veteran. If anything happens, he can catch anyone but me, so don't worry."

"Let's go buy some yarn. It's something my sister wants, and no matter how difficult it is, I have to find a way to get it for her. Otherwise, what's the point of having me as her older brother?"

As he spoke, Qin Ye took Qin Xiaoxiao's hand and walked to the entrance of the black market. Before Qin Xiaoxiao could stop him, Qin Ye knocked on the door.

Pushing Qin Xiaoxiao aside, Qin Ye opened the door, gave the password, and went inside.

Qin Xiaoxiao was extremely anxious outside, but there was nothing she could do. She wanted to knock on the door before going in, but she was afraid that the red armbands would really come and arrest people. So she hurriedly ran to the alley entrance to keep watch, so that she could take Qin Ye away as soon as possible if they really came to arrest people.

Fortunately, Qin Ye was quick and came out in no time. He didn't say anything when he saw Qin Xiaoxiao, but gestured for her to leave quickly.

The brother and sister quickly left the alley and soon disappeared onto the road.

Once they were out of the county town, Qin Ye showed the yarn he was carrying to Qin Xiaoxiao.

"You'll definitely look beautiful in red."

Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

The yarn is of very good quality; it's cashmere and fine yarn, weighing a good two pounds, enough for her to knit two large sweaters.

Qin Xiaoxiao immediately decided to knit an extra one as a wedding gift for her future sister-in-law.

It would be prestigious to present it, and it would also show the sister-in-law's affection for her sister-in-law. It wouldn't be about currying favor with her, but it would definitely make her sister-in-law think more highly of her and get along well with her in the future, so as not to put her brother in a difficult position.
