They're all vying to marry into our family.
Upon hearing this, Liu Juan was stunned.
She has several sons who are still unmarried. If everyone in the village knew they were wealthy...
"Besides," Ye Xiaoxiao added fuel to the fire,
"Aren't you the one who dotes on your third son the most? His fiancée's family is quite materialistic. If they knew his eldest brother's family could afford a 150-yuan stove, wouldn't they rush to marry their daughter off to them?"
Liu Juan's eyes began to waver.

Ye Xiaoxiao added insult to injury.
"Think about it, if any family complains about the bride price being too high, we can just say, 'Look at our eldest son's house, we use a stove that costs 150 kilowatts! How can the bride price not be high? Little Yanni will definitely marry into a wealthy family.'"
Liu Juan's expression gradually changed from anger to contemplation.

Ye Xiaoxiao said with a smile,
"This is an investment. Just think, when someone in the village wants to arrange a marriage, and they mention our 150-yuan stove, won't the girls be spoiled for choice?"

"Come in, have some hot water, and see your grandson."
This time, Liu Juan did not resist and followed her into the house.
Upon entering the house, my attention was immediately drawn to the kettle steaming on the stove.
"This house is so warm! And...it's so convenient to boil water here, I guess we could cook on it too."
