Seeing that she didn't understand, after they finished eating and returned to their room, Grandma Su explained it to her again.

"Although your aunt and third aunt have their own little schemes, they are not bad people. Of course, they must have some ulterior motives as well."

You're only a temporary worker now, and the villagers are already so envious. Once you become a permanent employee and a city dweller, your family will probably benefit from that too.

They were hoping that when you became capable, you could help support the family.

Su He finally understood after hearing this, but the pressure also increased.

"I'm afraid that I'm not capable enough and will disappoint them."

Grandma Su laughed when she heard her say that. "Don't worry, even if you don't do anything, your family will benefit from your job. You don't know, do you? Since you got a job, there have been a lot more matchmakers for your older cousin these past few days."

"Huh? Really? I'm just a temporary worker!"

Hearing this, Grandma Su raised her voice and said excitedly, "How could it not be? Don't you know what kind of job you have? Although it's a temporary job, it's still a police officer! These days, although everyone is afraid of the police, having a relative working at the police station gives people confidence. Otherwise, why do you think the villagers would flatter you so much just because you're a temporary worker?"

Hearing this, Su He finally understood. It seemed that she had underestimated the work of the police.

"So... has my eldest cousin's marriage been arranged?"

At this point, Grandma Su smiled and said, "That's about right."

"Oh? Which one?" Su He became interested.

“She’s the niece of the village chief from the next village. Her family name is Huang, and she’s 18 this year. I’ve met her, and she’s a good girl. She’s a good match for your cousin. If there are no problems, we’ll get things done next spring.”

Su He laughed when she heard this, "That's great! But is our house not big enough now? Where will my cousin live after he gets married?"

You should know that although Su He's father's three brothers each had two rooms, they still couldn't fit all the children in the house.

My uncle's family simply divided one of the rooms into two, so that the boys and girls could sleep separately in their own small rooms.

Su He's family didn't have that. Su's parents lived in one of the two rooms, and Su He's two younger brothers, Su Mu and Su Lin, lived in the other room. Su Miao was sent to live in the same room as her uncle Su Zi and Su Hong.

Fortunately, Su He has her own room; otherwise, living with them would be incredibly cramped.

My third uncle's children are still young, and since they are all boys, the two rooms are just right for them. But if my third aunt gives birth to a girl, the remaining room will probably have to be partitioned off.

So, as things stand, the Su family's housing situation is quite tight. It's just unknown whether they have enough money to build another house.

When Grandma Su heard this, she said, "Don't worry, there's a place for them to stay. Let Lan stay with your younger brother, and your older brother's room can be used as their new home. That's enough."

Su He was speechless. Her cousin and his younger brother Su Lan lived together. It was fine for two boys, but after her cousin's wife moved in, the small room was too cramped.

But thinking about it again, it seems that this is the case for most families in the countryside now, with many children in every household.

I even remember hearing that after marriage, couples would live in the same room with their families. When it was time to sleep at night, the family would give the young couple enough time to have sex before they went to their own room to sleep.

Su He felt embarrassed after hearing this.
