Xiaoman frowned slightly: "Even an upright official can't settle family disputes. Take care of yourself. Grandma, let's go."

Grandma Wang felt that since her granddaughter was neither Han Bin's wife nor his fiancée, how could she interfere in other people's family affairs? But seeing Han Bin in such a miserable state, she couldn't bear it. "Young man," she said, "my granddaughter isn't married yet and doesn't understand these things. Let me tell you, if you have an aunt, ask her to persuade your grandma. If you have a maternal grandmother, ask her to persuade your mother. If you don't have a maternal grandmother, that's fine too."

Han Bin shook his head: "I tried to persuade them, but it was no use. You don't know, they've both started a hunger strike."

"A hunger strike? It's gotten to this point?"

"Um."

"What...what do they want you to do?"

Xiaoman glanced at Grandma Wang. She thought to herself, "This old lady, I told her not to interfere, but she's asking me questions herself."

"They want me to get married."

"You don't want to marry me?"

"think."

"That?"

"They knew I was coming back to visit my family, so they started arranging for me to find a wife. In the end, my grandmother liked one, and my mother liked another."

So which one did you set your sights on?

"I...I think both girls are pretty good." He's now filled with regret. When his mother and grandmother asked him, he said either one was fine, but he never expected that both girls would also like him. Now, his mother and grandmother are forcing him to marry the one they've chosen. "If I had known, I would have chosen one."

Xiaoman: "Which one do you want to choose now?"

"I...I want to choose...um...I want to choose..."

"Do you want both of them?" Isn't this a monogamous society?

"No, I just feel like I don't care which one I marry. Xiaoman, please help me think of a solution. I really have no other choice."

"Are you sure? I can only help you ten times."

Han Bin hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm sure."

"Okay. Tell me about those two girls."

“Okay. The girl my grandma liked was from town. She was educated. The girl my mother liked was from the village, and she was very capable.”

Xiaoman glanced at Han Bin: "That's it?"

"Um."

"It's too simple, explain in more detail."

"More details?"

"Um."

"How detailed?"

Xiaoman rolled her eyes at Han Bin. How could someone so stupid possibly earn merit?

Han Bin touched his nose. "What do you want to know?"

Grandma Wang: "What do those two girls' parents do? What are their character traits like?"

"The girl in town used to be from a landlord family. Now she runs a shop in town. Her character... I can't tell. The girl in the village, her parents are farmers. Her character... seems alright."

"Does your grandma think that girl in town comes from a wealthy family and is well-educated?"

"Um."

"Does your mother think that girl in the village is hardworking and knows how to manage a household?"

"Hmm. How did you know?"

"Just a guess. It would be great if these two companies could share the profits equally."

Xiaoman: "You can't marry that girl in town; it might cause trouble. If the girl in the village is alright, then you should marry her."

Grandma Wang: "What's the problem?"

"This is just my guess." In her past life, she was born into royalty and had distinguished military achievements, yet she was able to enjoy a peaceful old age—not because of her status. In this life, although she is far from the center of power, she is still very sensitive to certain things. "If you don't believe me, that's fine too."

Before Grandma Wang could speak, Han Bin said, "I believe you." He didn't know why, but he had an inexplicable trust in Wang Xiaoman: "Then I'll go to the village and ask around."

Grandma Wang: "Didn't your mother already find out?"

“Since I’m not going to marry that girl from town, I have to find a way to persuade my grandmother. I want to see if that girl in the village has any other good qualities. The more good qualities she has, the easier it will be for me to talk to her.”

"What will you say if your grandma asks you why you don't marry that girl in town?"

"This..." Han Bin looked at Xiao Man.

That's just my guess, it might not be accurate.

“Well…” Han Bin thought for a moment, “Then I’ll see what her shortcomings are. Yes, that’s what we’ll do. Xiaoman, thank you. Grandma Wang, thank you.”

Grandma Wang: "Don't mention it. By the way, how did you and my Xiaoman meet?"

"Hehe..." Han Bin was too embarrassed to say such a thing. "Xiaoman, Grandma Wang, I'm leaving now. I'll buy you some delicious food later."

Han Bin ran away as soon as he finished speaking.

"I'm not a child. This child... Xiaoman, how did you two meet?"

Xiaoman was too embarrassed to admit that she had grabbed the wrong person. "Grandma, we've been out for a long time. If we don't go back soon, my mother will worry."

Grandma Wang glared at Xiaoman: "If you don't want to talk about it, fine, but don't bring up your mother."

Xiaoman thought to herself: This is only because of you. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't even need to give an excuse.

"By the way, I asked you if you were human or demon, and where Xiaoman went. Why did you tell me all this? Aren't you afraid I'll tell everyone about you?"

"Don't worry. You're a smart person."

Grandma Wang paused for a moment: "Yes, if I don't tell, I'll have another granddaughter. My son and daughter-in-law won't be sad. Xiaoxue and Xiaohan also have their older sister to protect them. If I tell, even if you don't hold it against us for Xiaoman's sake, you won't treat us as family anymore. If you are taken away by someone else as a monster, we will have nothing left."

Xiaoman nodded. "You are a wise person."

"You're very smart too." Grandma Wang asked curiously, "You used to be?"

Xiaoman strode home: "There's nothing to talk about in the past. I am Wang Xiaoman now."

Grandma Wang quickly followed, saying, "You child, slow down, the milk can't keep up."

Xiaoman walked a little slowly.

When they got back, Xiaoman's mother was craning her neck to look at the door: "Mother, Xiaoman, you're back? Where have you been?"

Xiaoman looked at Grandma Wang: Am I right?

Grandma Wang: "She didn't go anywhere. I talked to Xiaoman and she's come to terms with it, so you can rest assured."

"real?"

"Um."

"That's good, that's good. Mom, please sit down, I'll make you an egg."

"No need, I'm going back."

Xiaoman's mother held onto Grandma Wang, not letting her leave. Grandma Wang had no choice but to sit down and drink a bowl of egg drop soup.

After Grandma Wang left, Xiaoman's mother held Xiaoman's hand and said, "It's good that you're thinking positively, it's good that you're thinking positively. I'm not good with words, and I couldn't persuade you even after trying for so long. Your grandma is really amazing."

Xiaoman smiled. Some things you have to figure out yourself; no matter what others say, it's useless. "My grandma is really amazing."

"Yes. You must take good care of your grandma from now on."

"Um."

As the mother and daughter were chatting, Han Bin came in, followed by another person: "Auntie, Xiaoman, I'm here again."

Xiaoman's mother: "Come in quickly. Hey? Why does this young man look so familiar?"

Xiaoman frowned. How did these two end up together?

The person behind Han Bin took a step forward: "Auntie, we've met before at Han Family Manor."

Now, Xiaoman's mother remembered: "Oh, it's you! I didn't recognize you because you weren't wearing your police uniform today."

Xiaoman looked at Officer Li and asked, "Is there something you need?"

Officer Li nodded: "I would like to ask you and Comrade Han Bin to pretend to be a married couple..."

"No!" Before Officer Li could finish speaking, Xiaoman's mother interrupted him.
