Tie Niu's wife nodded: "Yes."

"Is your mother at home? Hahaha, oh my!" A laugh rang out, and Xiuxiu's mother came in carrying a basket.

When Xiuxiu's mother saw Ye Caiping, her smile vanished.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

Tie Niu's wife was startled. Had he not heard what he just said?

She quickly stood up with a smile: "What brings you here, Xiuxiu's mother? Please sit down."

Xiuxiu's mother pursed her lips, glanced at Ye Caiping, and then smiled again, "I've come to offer you wedding candy."

As she spoke, a hint of pride in her voice lingered: "My Xiuxiu is engaged!"

"What?" Tie Niu's wife was completely stunned. "How come they're engaged so quickly?"

Xiuxiu's mother choked for a moment. They had only met yesterday, and the engagement was already today. It was indeed a bit rushed, but she couldn't wait.

When she saw that the carpenter Cai had a shop in town, she couldn't wait any longer!

Not only does he own a shop, but he also has a house. It is said that he can earn one or two taels of silver a month.

Such a wonderful family, we must settle down with them immediately.

As it happened, the carpenter Cai was also very satisfied with Xiuxiu, so the two families immediately exchanged betrothal gifts, and the Cai family even gave a deposit of one tael of silver.

"I haven't seen the man come to our house at all?" Tie Niu's wife asked, her face full of questions.

Xiuxiu's mother looked rather unwell.

Without going through any formalities, and before the man has even visited, they hastily finalize the marriage, making it seem as if the woman is worthless.

Xiuxiu's mother was a little embarrassed and annoyed, but still maintained her smile: "You just didn't see it."

Ye Caiping chuckled: "You've accomplished that in just one day and one night, that's really impressive."

Xiuxiu's mother was furious and embarrassed: "Who told my Xiuxiu to be so good! She's beautiful, has a great figure, and has seven younger brothers. You can tell at a glance that she's destined to have sons! People are so satisfied with her that they immediately begged us to arrange the marriage, not even wanting to wait a day longer."

"Just because you have eyes but can't recognize a gem doesn't mean others don't have good taste."

In the end, it seemed to be true, and Xiuxiu's mother became smug again.

Xiuxiu's mother took a few pieces of candy from the basket and put them on the table: "Mountain-entering mother, keep these candies and enjoy the good fortune. I'm going home now."

"Ah, okay, okay."

Tie Niu's wife smiled and saw her to the door before her smile faded.

Looking at Ye Caiping with a helpless expression, he said, "Alas, it seems we are not destined to be together."

Ye Caiping sighed softly, "Let it be. It's getting late, I'll go home first."
