"Then it depends on Mom and Dad. Let's deal with the immediate problem first. If the girl is really that resolute, Mom and Dad will probably agree in the end for her sake. The worst thing is that it's all one-sided, and the girl doesn't have any intention of marrying into our family. In that case, Mom and Dad will lose face, and the girl will be heartbroken."
After the third brother finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh. Of all the people the girl liked, if she had picked someone slightly more normal, they could have made things easier for her. But now that the other person has become their brother-in-law, they can't find him a stable job.
"Sigh, if only he had more brothers, I could marry into his family. None of us inherited our parents' skills, we don't have the talent. My daughter is focused on painting, she doesn't like people with ulterior motives."
The second brother sighed and said quietly.
Liu's father, who was desperate to urinate, came out of the house. Hearing his second son's words, his eyes flickered, but his face showed disgust.
"Don't you guys have anything better to do? Have your girls eaten yet?"
The second and third brothers were startled and quickly made way for the kitchen.
At night, Mr. Liu learned that his daughter had eaten something, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter how much he tossed and turned in bed.
"If you really can't sleep, go for a run or two; it'll save you from all this stress."
Liu Ma was already upset. Although her daughter had eaten something, her mind was still elsewhere, and she was extremely worried. To make matters worse, the old man next to her was tossing and turning, which was very annoying.
"It's not that yet..."
Mr. Liu wanted to scold his wayward daughter, but couldn't bear to, so he swallowed his words.
"Today, the second brother said that if the Shen family had more sons, they could let someone marry into our family. None of the three boys and one girl in the family can cook, so the family's culinary skills will not be passed down. We are still alive now and can work for twenty years, but what about after twenty years?"
"Would they be happy about that?"
Liu Ma couldn't sleep anyway, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it wouldn't be bad if the other party married into the family. They still had their savings, which they had saved for their daughter's dowry.
If he marries into the family, it's no problem to buy another house for the young couple to live in.
Mr. Liu was stumped by the question. It was indeed not easy for a son to marry into another family. According to his second and third sons, although the other family was not as well-off as his, they were still well-off and not to the point of having their son marry into another family.
The couple rolled over and their heads bumped together.
"Ouch, can you slow down a bit? Ouch~"
Aunt Liu covered her forehead.
"Wait, let Ping'er talk to him herself. As long as she can get him to agree to let her marry into the family, then we'll agree to them being together. That way, we won't be the bad guys. If it works out, the family will have another son. If it doesn't, Ping'er will give up on the idea herself."
“Wife, you’re quick-witted. Tomorrow, you should tell our daughter that we originally wanted to find her a husband. If she marries into our family, we will pass on our family skills to her. Her daughter can also come to our family. If she doesn’t want to, she can stay in her family. We will pay a change-of-address fee.”
After discussing it for a while, the couple finalized the idea and were finally able to lie down and fall asleep.
Liu Ping stared at the door. She wanted to go find Ershun and see how he was doing, but her second and third brothers were right. If she ran away now and her parents caught her again, she would never be able to leave. She could only pick up her pen and write a letter.
Thankfully, Ershun can read. She wants Ershun to be well. She hasn't told Ershun her feelings in person yet. She uses food to coax Ershun into becoming her friend. Ershun has no idea what she's thinking.
She also said she would bring Ershun pea cakes next time, and they even made a pinky promise.
