"...She's good-looking, but she's a bit too spoiled. She's already six years old, and the Gu family's child bride is still waiting on her every step of the way."
"Hey, speaking of that child bride, she's thirteen this year, right? The eldest son of the Gu family is seventeen, so it's time to consummate the marriage."
"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed. Xiuniang has been in the Gu family for three years, and she's been raised well. She's not particularly pretty, but she's decent. Most importantly, she's capable!"
"Yes! Zhao is indeed the most astute and never does business at a loss. She only spent three pounds of beans and got such a capable and obedient daughter-in-law."
"That's right... Hey, isn't this Xiuniang? Tell me, is your mother-in-law smart? She didn't spend a penny and bought you back with three pounds of beans—"

Li Xiuniang hugged her sister-in-law tightly in her arms, pretending not to understand, and spoke with gratitude.
Two women who wanted to watch the fun: ...This child bride is hopeless, she is just a fool.
Li Xiuniang: ...You are the fool! Your whole family is foolish!
You are not as good as my good boy.
Li Xiuniang was too lazy to waste her time talking to these gossipy women. Instead, she would rather spend more time in the mountains and get some good things to supplement the nutrition for her beautiful baby.
