Hearing this, she stood up and said, "Mother, you rest first, I'll go out and see what's going on."

Wang Qiaoya's grandmother has been living in Chijia'ao for some time now, relying on the help of her grandson-in-law's family and the villagers in Chijia'ao who sell their own charcoal.

With no worries about food, drink, or accommodation, my health has improved considerably.

She was sitting on the kang bed when she saw her daughter-in-law about to leave, so she reached out and grabbed her.

"You just got back, and those two arrived right after. I suppose they're not happy with our suggestion."

If they agree, they won't need to make a special trip.

After you go out, you'll see people bringing them here to me!

Wang Qiaoya's mother was also a filial person. Upon hearing her mother-in-law's request, she hurriedly nodded and left.

As soon as she came out, she saw Qiaoya heading towards two women who were about to enter her courtyard.

She stood there for a while, and only after the person approached did she say to Qiaoya:

"Ya'er, don't you still have a pair of shoes that you haven't finished making?"

Your mother will take care of you here; you should go back to your room and make your shoes!

Wang Qiaoya has been staying indoors these past few days, busy making shoes for her husband's relatives.

There was only one pair left; her eyes were a little tired, so she came out to look into the distance.

To her surprise, she found her husband's eldest aunt and third aunt.

The arrival of the two at this time, along with her mother's words, made her eyelids twitch uncontrollably.

"Mother, those shoes are almost finished, it won't make a difference if we wait a little longer."

After saying that, he took the exhausted Chi Qiao and Chen Xiaomai directly to his room.

Seeing this, Qiaoya's mother reached out and stopped the person.

"Ya'er, you've come to the wrong place."

Wang Qiaoya was stunned for a moment, then nodded without saying anything, letting Chi Qiao and Chen Xiaomai be led by her mother to her grandmother's room.

Feeling uneasy, she immediately followed.

Although the snow wasn't as heavy as before, there were still occasional light snowfalls.

With the thick snowfall earlier, Chi Qiao and Chen Xiaomai were quite exhausted from their journey.

The two of them had just sat down inside when, before they could even speak, Old Mrs. Wang asked:

"Your aunt and uncle have come here, probably because of the girl with the umbrella, right?"

What are your thoughts on our proposal?

Wang Qiaoya, who was standing by the door, was stunned for a moment when she heard the girl with the umbrella, and then she realized what was going on.

Before Chi Qiao and Chen Xiaomai could speak, she spoke first:

"Grandma, the situation is special now, we don't have so many rules."

Old Mrs. Wang frowned as she looked at her, "Ya'er, Grandma is doing this all for your own good!"

Wang Qiaoya replied, "Grandma, I know. But we've been in Chijia'ao for so long, you know the situation here."

Among the younger generation here, apart from the newlyweds, only Aunt Xiaoyu is suitable.

However, the girl with the umbrella that Wangjiawan requires is someone who has never been married.

The seniority is usually that of the same generation or the generation below.

I'm not shameless enough to let an elder hold an umbrella for me.

Chi Qiao was about to explain the purpose of her visit when she heard Old Mrs. Wang say:

"It's just using an umbrella once, it's not a big deal."

As the old lady spoke, she looked at Chi Qiao and said, "Auntie, I know this request is against the rules, but it's not that there isn't a suitable person in your Chi family village."
