"Hmph, the weasel is paying a New Year's visit to the chicken, it has no good intentions." Su Wanti curled her lips.
Her mother patted her arm, frowned slightly, and said angrily:
"You are such a talkative child. You must not say whatever you want in the future. If you continue to talk like this after you get married, you will be beaten by your in-laws."
Su Wanti smiled slightly. "Mother, let's not talk about getting married for now. I've been running around all day and all night trying to pick that resurrection grass. I'm so tired. Let me go get some sleep first!"
After saying that, without waiting for her mother to speak, she stood up and left with a playful smile.
Su Wanti knew that the original owner's mother was a woman with very traditional ideas. In her opinion, girls must get married, and not getting married would bring shame to their parents.
A married woman should take care of the household chores, be filial and obedient, talk less and do more, control her temper and not act willfully, and please her in-laws and husband without causing them any displeasure...
However, these ideas of hers are not recognized by either the original owner or the current Su Wanti.
The original owner only wanted to take good care of her mother and raise her younger siblings. Her master, the only female doctor in the county, had never married, so the original owner had not included marriage in her life plan.
As for Su Wanti, there is no need to say more.
She is not from this world, so how could she agree with the outdated ideas of this world?
Su Wanti received all the memories of the original owner, so she understood the character of the original owner's mother.
Although the original owner's mother had traditional ideas, she truly loved her children.
She would only nag the original owner over and over again, but she would not force the original owner to change, or choose a husband for her regardless of the original owner's wishes and then force her to marry.
Therefore, every time the topic of getting married was brought up, the original owner would find an excuse, laugh it off, slip away, and get away with it.
Zhang Hehua saw her eldest daughter slip away again and shook her head helplessly.
She wanted to call her daughter and give her some more words of advice, but she felt sorry for her daughter who hadn't slept all night, so she swallowed the words on her lips, coughed twice, and lay back on the bed.
Zhang Hehua's eyes were dull as she looked at the ceiling of the bed, recalling what the eldest brother and his wife of the Su family had said yesterday.
The eldest brother and his wife of the Su family brought a small basket of eggs, flour and rapeseed oil. They first apologized to her and then persuaded her.
It is said that Awan is sixteen years old and has reached the age to get married.
The mourning period lasts for three years. After three years, Awan will be nineteen years old. In their small mountain village, a nineteen-year-old girl is considered an old maid, and there is no chance of her marrying a good young man.
I can only look for a widower who has lost his spouse, has children and comes from a poor family.
It would be better to find a well-off family for Awan and marry her off before Su Song's body is found.
So as to avoid wasting Ah Wan’s life.
Now that she is not in good health, the Su family will help raise her five children.
The oldest of the three sons was ten years old and the youngest was seven, old enough to learn a craft.
The eldest uncle of the Su family found a big restaurant in the county town, which was willing to accept the three of them as waiters, provide them with food, clothing, housing and transportation, and give them some pocket money every month.
When the three boys grow up a little, I will let them learn cooking from the chef in the kitchen. After they learn, they can become chefs themselves. How respectable!
As for her two youngest daughters, they could be sent to her parents-in-law to be raised. The two old people loved their granddaughters the most. They said that they would cover the expenses of the two little granddaughters and would also pay for their dowries in the future...
Uncle and sister-in-law were talking excitedly, and Zhang Hehua listened silently, feeling a little moved.
After her husband disappeared, she fell ill. During the days she was bedridden, the hope in her heart was like a burnt-out bonfire, reduced to ashes and without any life.
There had been no news from her husband, and Hehua felt that he had probably met with an accident. Without her husband, she had also lost the will to live. Now her own body was in a dilapidated state, and she was afraid that she would soon follow her husband in death.
She was not afraid of death, she was just worried about her children. If what her eldest brother and sister-in-law said could really come true and her six children would have a good place to go, she would be able to die with peace of mind.
Zhang Hehua knew that her parents-in-law and her uncles were all concerned about the family's house and land.
But she was simple-minded and would not think badly of her relatives. She thought that her life was coming to an end, so she would give them the house and land if they wanted them.
After all, they are the children's grandparents and uncles. They will take good care of the children for the sake of the house and land.
Zhang Hehua was feeling exhausted. She sighed tiredly and slowly closed her eyes.

After Su Wanti simply washed herself with cold water, she returned to her room.
The fifth sister and the sixth sister are twins. The two little girls live in the same room with Su Wanti.
The two little girls were not asleep yet, and were staring with wide eyes waiting for their sister to come back to the room.
"Sister, uncle and aunt said they will bring a matchmaker here today. What will you do?" asked the fifth sister.
Just when Su Wanti returned to the room to get the coarse sheets for Shang Xingjian, her two sisters woke up.
The two of them also told her everything that happened yesterday.
The sixth sister raised her furry little head and asked, "Sister, do you still need the kitchen knife? Or should I go and sharpen it now?"
"I'll help you. We can each grind one." The fifth sister said hurriedly.
Su Wanti smiled gently. She placed her hands on the heads of the fifth and sixth sisters, rubbing them roughly. She said, "I won't need a kitchen knife this time. I have another way to make the life of those who want to harm us worse than death."
"Okay, I'm going to sleep. You two should sleep for a while too. If you don't want to sleep, go out and play. Don't disturb your sister's rest!"
