Tian Yongliang of the Tian family is a very strong man and is good at work.
But Liu Cuifang was not an easy person to get along with. Even those families who truly loved their daughters would be reluctant to marry her off.
Moreover, Liu Cuifang's youngest son is still studying at the academy in the town.
I heard that his grades were not good and he failed the exam three times. He had to spend money to study for another year.
