When it came to finding a solution, Tian Guifen immediately turned her attention to her daughter, Shen Liuliu.

"mother?"

"Daughter, you always have ideas. Can you help your second brother think of a solution?"

Tian Guifen was really anxious, otherwise she wouldn't have been investigating for so many months.

She was worried that things might change.

As long as we get married in a stable way, it's fine even if we don't have children right away.

Now that she's married, she doesn't have to worry about Shen Erming so much anymore.

"Well, actually, based on the money the Mei family earns, they should have about twenty or thirty taels of silver in savings right now."

"Are there that many? Then both sons could get married together."

Shen Liuliu said helplessly, "Mother, the Mei family only has three mud-brick houses now. How can we let our two sons get married at the same time? I reckon my future sister-in-law wants to build two houses."

Despite the Mei family's poverty, Zhao Di has high aspirations.

I heard that when the Mei family was building their adobe house, it was Zhao Di who stopped them from building the side rooms.

Originally, the Mei family intended to build three side rooms on each side, so that both sons would have houses to get married.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Di disagreed with building an adobe house.

"I reckon my second sister-in-law wants to save money so she can build houses slowly in the future, all of them tiled."

Shen Liuliu clenched her hands and said.

Actually, she quite admires people who have a plan for their lives.

But Tian Guifen and Xiao Zhoushi did not think so.

"If your family can't afford it, why insist on building a tiled house?"

"Exactly, can't we talk about marriage first?"

Faced with the two elders' questions, Shen Liuliu shrugged and said, "But nowadays the requirements for marrying off daughters are getting higher and higher. Not to mention anything else, in our Lotus Village, do you see anyone still living in an adobe house?"

The era when you could get married just by living in an adobe house is over.

Although there are still some men who can get married even with only a mud-brick house, they are a minority.

"Can……"

"So, Mother, you want to solve the current problem. Actually, the best way is to introduce two girls to the Mei family who are willing to marry into the mud-brick house. Wouldn't that solve the problem?"

Shen Liuliu smiled.

Zhao Di wasn't trying to give her family a lot of money; she was just worried that her two younger brothers wouldn't be able to find wives.

If they could introduce two girls who were willing to live in mud-brick houses, wouldn't that be enough?

"Oh dear, this is not easy to find. The Mei family has been in Lotus Village for several years, and no one has inquired about her two sons."

Ms. Zhou was in a dilemma.

The fact that no one has ever inquired about the two sons of the Mei family speaks volumes.

So they're not easy to find.

Tian Guifen was also worried: "I'm worried that if I say something, the girl might think that she can get something out of us... and that it will make her enemies with the Mei family instead."

She hardly ever acts as a matchmaker anymore.

I really don't dare to do it again.

Little Zhou laughed at her, saying, "I think you've been bitten by a snake once and are now afraid of ropes for ten years."

"Of course, they'll definitely learn their lesson," Tian Guifen said helplessly.

Two years ago, she acted as a matchmaker for someone.

But the other party thought they could get some benefits from their family, and after the marriage, they actually sent people to their winery.

After she refused, he accused her of lying to him, and so on.

Then the woman started demanding a divorce.

The man was naturally unwilling, and just when the two families were almost at each other's throats, the woman discovered she was pregnant.

Now she has the man completely under her control.

It seems that in the end, the man gave the woman a lot of money before she agreed to have the baby and not get a divorce.

As a result, both the man and the woman grew to completely dislike Tian Guifen, and they even had several arguments.

Tian Guifen was so angry she almost died, and afterwards she fell seriously ill.

From then on, Tian Guifen resolutely refused to help others find husbands.

This is terrible!

"Actually, there are still very few people like that."

"Then I won't help people find spouses anymore. Isn't it better to live a good life? Why let them drive me crazy?"

Tian Guifen shook her head. (Reading a book)

This was also a tacit rejection of Shen Liuliu's proposal.

Shen Liuliu was at a loss. She said, "Mom, I'm telling you, just leave it alone. Anyway, Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law aren't in a hurry, so why bother? It won't make a difference if it's just another six months."

"Yes, Liu Liu is right. Good things come to those who wait, so don't be in such a hurry."

Xiao Zhou also tried to persuade him.

They even cited Shen Xingshan as an example.

"...Back then, what happened to Shen Xingshan almost made me die of anger. Afterwards, I was constantly worried that he wouldn't be able to find a good girl to marry. But who knew that Xingshan would have such good luck?"

When Xiao Zhou talked about the marriage in Xingshan, she became very happy.

After Shen Xingshan was given away to Shen Yun'er and Zhou Yushu by Xiao Zhoushi, he stayed there obediently for three years.

Two years ago, Shen Yun'er wrote a letter saying that Shen Xingshan had a good relationship with a girl.

The incident began when Shen Xingshan accompanied Shen Yun'er to a Buddhist temple to burn incense. Because the mountain road was quite difficult to travel, Shen Yun'er hired a sedan chair carrier to carry her up.

Shen Xingshan, being a young man, naturally wouldn't let anyone carry him up.

On their way down the mountain, the two encountered two women, one old and one young.

The older woman was about fifty years old, dignified and elegant, but it was clear that she was not in good health.

The young woman looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, charming and lovely, and very well-mannered.

Seeing that the old lady was too tired to walk and was panting heavily, Shen Xingshan took the initiative to lift her up and carry her down the mountain.

Originally, Shen Yun'er suggested that the old lady ride in a sedan chair, but Shen Xingshan knew that his sister was also unwell, so he refused.

And so Shen Xingshan carried the old lady down the mountain.

The old lady was very satisfied with Shen Xingshan at the time.

After several more chance encounters, the old lady clearly grew to like Shen Xingshan more and more.

About half a year later, the old lady found a well-known local lady to come to Shen Yun'er and Zhou Yushu and said she wanted to arrange a marriage.

This old lady's husband's surname is He, so let's call her Madam He.

Madam He's grandfather was a prince consort of the previous dynasty.

Although the family had declined and lost its title, it was still very wealthy.

When Madam He got married, she brought a lot of dowry with her.

Her husband's family was a well-known family of pharmacists in the area, and several imperial physicians had come from the family.

However, Madam He was in poor health, and although she raised several children, they all died young.

Later, at the age of forty-two, she had her last child, a daughter.

When He Baozhu was born, all her previous children had already died.

The He family cherished their daughter like a precious jewel as she grew up.

When his daughter turned fifteen, many suitors came to propose marriage, but they all eventually backed out.

Because the He family wanted to find a son-in-law.

There were quite a few families willing to let their son marry into the family, but after examining them one by one, Madam He didn't find any she liked.

The men she liked were all unwilling to marry into her family.

In this way, He Baozhu turned eighteen.

It wasn't until Shen Xingshan carried Madam He down the mountain that Madam He grew very fond of this young man.

He's a kind-hearted person, with a strong, honest face and a kind nature, but he would never wrong his family for the sake of outsiders.

On several occasions later, she sent people to investigate Shen Xingshan's background.
