The Old Mu family, who were so poor they jingled, went crazy. It was a time of famine, and everyone was rushing to flee, yet they went out of their way to pick up a little girl.
Ning Bao carr...
Before I knew it, Yuanzhi was already in her mid-twenties; it really was time to start thinking about marriage.
Shen Yuzhen, who was sitting in the carriage with them, nodded.
"Yes, time flies. In the blink of an eye, the children have grown up. Just the other day, someone even came to our house to arrange a marriage for my son Cheng'an. I was stunned."
Su Jingshu was also a little surprised to hear that someone was trying to arrange a marriage for Mu Cheng'an.
"Logically speaking, Cheng'an is indeed old enough to be married, but..."
Su Jingshu thought for a moment and then voiced her doubts.
“Sister Chen, we’re all family here, so I’ll just say what I have to say. Please don’t think I’m meddling.”
Shen Yuzhen glared at Su Jingshu.
"Sister Su, what are you saying...."
We're all on the same side, so just say what you want to say; why would I get angry?
Su Jingshu smiled.
"Haha, then I'll just say it directly."
If I remember correctly, your Cheng'an will be 16 this year, right?
In the village, someone that age is indeed old enough to start looking for a partner.
However, I feel that my sister doesn't need to rush to arrange marriages for the children.
We've known each other for several years now, and because of Ningbao, we're like family.
I watched all my children grow up. They are all successful, and they will definitely leave Chuyun Village and even Yunlu City in the future.
I'm not saying I look down on the girls in the village, I just think their future perspectives and outlook will definitely be different from what they have now.
It's best to postpone finding a partner; the kids are still young, a few more years won't be too late...
Su Jingshu was absolutely right; recently, many families in the village have been arranging marriages for the children of the Mu and Shen families.
Fortunately, Shen Sikang was still young and Shen Sijian was not at home, but it was easy to refuse Liu Qingru's request.
But things are not so easy with the Shen family. The reason Su Jingshu went to live in Yunlu City was because she was tired of being bothered.
Su Jingshu said these words today not because she looked down on the girls in the village.
There are indeed outstanding girls in the village, especially after the establishment of a girls' school in Chuyun Village, the girls are much better than those in other villages.
However, for a family like the Mu family, especially Mu Cheng'an's wife, who will be in charge of the household and the family's future, if she is too petty, she will not be able to stand firm.
She had always believed that the Mu family children would have extraordinary futures; when she left the Northern Desert, her husband had mentioned that things were looking promising regarding the Xue family...
Once the Xue family regains its former glory, with the Xue family as its maternal family and Ningbao as its younger sister, the Mu family... will not be able to remain confined to Chuyun Village forever...
After listening to Su Jingshu's words, Shen Yuzhen thought about it seriously.
"Thank you for your guidance, Sister Su. I've been worrying about this matter lately. We're just ordinary farmers and never thought about finding a daughter-in-law from a wealthy family, but I always feel that we can't settle down too early."
The children are still young and their thinking is immature. What if they fall for someone they like in the future? Wouldn't that be ruining the girl's life?
Half an hour later, Ning Bao and his group arrived at Qingyun Town.
Instead of going directly into the town, they headed from outside the town towards Chuyun Village.
Not long after I started walking, I saw an old woman with faltering steps carrying a large bundle on her back walking on the road.
Ningbao looked at the figure and found it increasingly familiar. She quickly spurred her pony forward a few steps...
"Grandma!"
