Cai Xiaomei thought about it and agreed.
"I have to say, eldest sister, you're good at persuasion. Eldest sister, please talk to Dong'er on my behalf."
Unable to resist Cai Xiaomei's pleas, Cai Damei agreed.
"Mother, look how pretty the flowers are!" Cai Shuyi ran in, holding a silk flower in her hand.
"Hmm, beautiful. Who gave it to you?"
"Sister Lingling gave it to me." Cai Shuyi pointed to Zhou Lingling, who was learning to make silk flowers from Ye Yunniang not far away.
“Not my older sister.” Cai Damei was discussing seniority with Cai Shuyi.
Cai Shuyi nodded, understanding. But she still wanted to call her "sister."
"Then shout it out." Cai Damei didn't say anything more.
"Mother is so good. Here are some flowers for you. I hope you'll be happy every day." Cai Shuyi stuffed the silk flowers in her hand into Cai Damei's hand.
"Okay, Mother is happy." Cai Damei accepted it.
Cai Shuyi ran out to find Zhou Lingling to play with.
Cai Da Mei carefully put it away, her eyes glancing at Cai Xiao Mei's pensive face.
"What's wrong?"
"You're asking me what happened? Is Shushu your biological daughter? Was the person I saw back then you? Why did you lie to me?"
Cai Damei reached out to stop Cai Xiaomei's barrage of questions.
"Don't ask too many questions about Shushu's matter."
"How could I not ask?" Cai Xiaomei didn't ask anything. Are they still sisters?
"Just tell me, was it you I saw that day?"
Cai Damei's silence indirectly revealed her answer.
"Who is it? How did you get involved with him?"
"I didn't flirt with her. Don't ask any more questions. It won't do you any good."
"Tell me who it is?"
Cai Damei didn't say anything, but said, "I want to reopen Xiao Cai Ji. It's scheduled for the second day of next month."
"I'm not going unless you tell me who that man is."
“I’ve notified you; whether you go or not is up to you.” Cai Damei was unaffected by Cai Xiaomei’s words.
"Big sister, Shushu is still young, it's alright now. But what will you say when she grows up and asks you for her father? What will you say when she gets married and people ask who the father of her child is?" Cai Xiaomei was really worried about her big sister.
"We'll talk about the future later. I'm not in a hurry, so why are you?" Cai Damei's words made Cai Xiaomei take deep breaths. Who was she worried about?
“You have enough to worry about at home. You don’t need to worry about me,” Cai Damei said nonchalantly.
"Okay, okay, I don't care."
“That’s more like it.” Cai Damei got up and walked outside.
"Where are you going?" Cai Xiaomei stood up, wanting to follow.
"Let's have a chat with Dong'er."
Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaomei turned and went to the kitchen instead of following.
Cai Damei arrived at the front yard, where Zhou Dong was weighing bean sprouts for someone.
After Zhou Dong saw the guests off, Cai Damei stepped forward.
"Auntie, my mother sent you to persuade me to get married."
"Hmm, what are you thinking?"
"I just want to run the shop well." Zhou Dong didn't want to think about anything else.
"Aren't you considering remarrying?"
"I don't want to for now."
"I still think about Cai'er."
"No," Zhou Dong retorted, then lowered his head under Cai Damei's all-knowing gaze.
Zhou Dong and Zhang Cai'er were initially attracted to each other, and Zhou Dong begged his parents to ask a matchmaker to propose marriage to Zhang Cai'er.
Zhou Dong knew Zhang Cai'er had many problems, but thinking that they were going to spend their lives together, he let it all go.
But Zhou Dong never expected Zhang Cai'er to be so ruthless. She didn't want him, and she didn't even want the children.
Zhou Dong hated Zhang Cai'er, but he hated himself even more. He vowed to make something of himself.
When Cai Xiaomei urged Zhou Dong to remarry, Zhou Dong was still thinking about Zhang Cai'er. He then realized that he couldn't forget Zhang Cai'er.
Zhou slapped himself hard. "I'm useless."
"Hate is also a form of caring. It's not shameful to admit that you can't forget a former lover."
"Auntie, please help me persuade my mother. I don't want to get married again."
“Okay. I’ll talk to her.” Cai Damei agreed.
I don't know what Cai Da Mei said, but Cai Xiao Mei stopped urging Zhou Dong.
When I returned from the Zhou family home, two matchmakers were standing at my door.
The two matchmakers didn't speak, but they both looked at each other with disdain.
"Competitors are enemies," Ang Lee remarked.
"Don't talk nonsense." Ye Yunniang covered Li An's mouth.
"Sending two matchmakers to support your father is too unreliable," Li Ping said to Jiang Mingzhe, still being impolite.
"Not necessarily." Li Pan thought it was unlikely.
Hiring two matchmakers, are they going to cause trouble?
The two matchmakers, who had been exchanging hostile glances, immediately stopped and resumed their friendly smiles upon seeing Ye Yunniang and her group.
"Madam Li, this is wonderful news!"
"Madam Li, this is a joyous occasion!"
The two matchmakers stared at each other with eyes that could kill; they would have already stabbed each other seven, eight, or ninety times over.
"Please come inside and talk," said Cai Damei, not wanting the neighbors to see the spectacle.
Ye Yunniang unlocked the door and went into the kitchen to boil water. She brought the brewed tea into the house, where only a matchmaker was present.
The matchmaker looked at Ye Yunniang with a mixture of curiosity and lust, as if she were looking at a piece of fatty meat.
The matchmaker knew of Jiang Mingzhe's reputation and was naturally curious about his request to marry Ye Yunniang.
When the matchmaker first came to propose marriage, Cai Damei did not agree.
The matchmaker knew the rules, so she made the trip three times, each time with increasing sincerity.
Cai Damei relented and agreed to the marriage.
Everyone in Wanxia Lane knew that Ye Yunniang was getting married. The groom's surname was Jiang, and his family was in business.
The Li family did not say anything else.
Ye Yunniang got engaged. Some people offered their sincere blessings, while others harbored ulterior motives and couldn't bear to see Ye Yunniang doing well.
These people not only gossiped behind people's backs, but some of them even went so far as to spread rumors in front of Li Pan's three children.
The one with the biggest face is Niu Dajiao.
She ran up to the children and said.
Ye Yunniang, through sheer persistence, found a man willing to take her in. She promised to abandon Li Pan and the other two, leaving them to their fates. She even declared that they would be orphans, worse off than beggars, and generously offered to teach them how to beg…
The more Li Pan listened, the angrier she became. She took the stick that Li An handed her and began to beat Niu Dajiao without hesitation.
Learning martial arts from Chen Xiang, Li Pan, with considerable strength and Li An by her side, beat Niu Dajiao so badly that he was bruised and swollen, unable to see clearly, and even broke his arm.
"Murder! Murder!" Big-Foot Niu shouted.
It attracted onlookers.
“Mother, you again,” Chunxing looked at Niu Dajiao’s drooping arm, and then at Li Pan and Li An’s flushed faces.
Chunxing swallowed hard and took a step back.
"Chunxing, come save me!" The louder Niu Dajiao shouted, the more Chunxing hid behind him.
She didn't want to lose her arm.
"Chunxing!" Niu Dajiao screamed, "Quickly grab the little brat! I'm going to beat him to death!"
The more Niu Dajiao talked, the faster Chunxing dodged away.
The daughter-in-law is unreliable, but it's good that the son is out.
"Liangliang, save me!"
"Mother, your arm is broken. I'll go get a doctor." Ma Xiaokou pulled back the foot that had entered the alley and walked towards the pharmacy.
"Ma Xiaokou, come back!" Niu Dajiao shouted, making Ma Xiaokou walk even faster.
Others gathered around to watch the spectacle.
Some people arrive late and are unaware of the situation, asking what happened.
Those who arrived early and witnessed the whole process recounted what happened.
He had originally intended to lend a helping hand to Niu Dajiao, but then withdrew his hand.
Niu Dajiao deserved to be beaten.
