Now, some people in Xiangyang Village have their eyes on Xu Minghe, and Sun Ni is talking about it with her daughter.
"Xiufen, let me tell you, Xu Minghe is a really good prospect. If possible, I'll go and sound out Granny Liu's opinion?"
Sun Ni was genuinely concerned for her daughter's well-being, but she also thought that the Xu family was about to rise in status. If her daughter married into the Xu family, she could help raise her son in the future, killing two birds with one stone!
“Mom,” Li Xiufen looked at her mother with some difficulty, “Didn’t I say that I have a boyfriend? No matter how good Xu Minghe is, I don’t like him.”
Sun Ni was furious when she heard this. She glared at him and shouted, "Are you out of your mind? What kind of man did you find? His father is sick and his mother is disabled. He's the eldest son. If you marry him, you'll be eating bitter melon!"
Li Xiufen lowered her head and remained silent as a sign of resistance.
Sun Ni ignored her and continued to break things down, "Look, although the Xu family wasn't much before, now the third son of the Xu family is doing well. I heard he bought a house in Tianshui City and took all his brothers there. He even arranged for his two nephews to go to school in the city."
"If you married the fourth son of the Xu family, wouldn't you also be living in the city? They get to eat the meat while you only get the soup, isn't that easy? Just listen to your mother, I'm your own mother, would I ever harm you?"
Sun Ni had been talking for so long that her mouth was practically dry, but seeing that her daughter was still looking down and didn't react at all, she suddenly got angry. She reached out and pinched her ear, and asked in a low voice, "Do you just want to suffer? Huh? You have a good life but you have to suffer. Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
“Mom,” Li Xiufen dodged her mother’s outstretched hand again and retorted defiantly, “You make it sound so nice, but you’re just after his family’s money. Can’t you really think about me for once? I like Zhengming, and I want to be with him. I’m willing to suffer.”
Sun Ni felt her heart sink when she heard this. Although she had her own ulterior motives, wasn't she mainly trying to make things easier for Sun Ni's future? How could she not be thinking about her? How could someone so heartless say such a thing!
But he still said firmly, "Forget about it. Your father and I will never agree to it." Then he went out, so as not to lose his temper and beat her with a stick.
But she was still his own flesh and blood, and he couldn't bear to watch her jump into a fire pit. So he called his eldest daughter and asked her to come back tomorrow. He also went to Granny Liu's place to sound her out.
"Sister Liu, you're home! Oh, this must be the girl your third son had after giving birth to her. She's so pretty, all fair and chubby, you can tell she's been raised with great care." As soon as Sun Ni entered the door, she saw a chubby baby lying on the straw mat on the floor, a delightful sight.
"Xiao Lan's mom, what brings you here? I've noticed you've been busy sewing buttons lately!"
When Granny Liu looked up and saw Sun Ni come in, she was puzzled. The two families didn't usually visit each other much, so she was quite worried about her sudden visit. Could it be that she came to borrow money?
She wasn't overthinking it. Since returning, she had received several people who came to borrow money, but she had refused them all. They were all just looking to borrow for free, so she might as well ignore them.
Sun Ni found a chair and sat down, smiling as she said, "I was just passing by and thought I'd come in for a chat. Nothing else."
Granny Liu: "..." This is quite a long way off, one is at the entrance of the village, and the other is at the end of the village.
However, she didn't say anything, and just chatted with her casually. Anyway, she had nothing to do, and it was good to have someone to pass the time with.
"Sister Liu, um, I have something I'd like to ask you."
Granny Liu knew they were coming as soon as she thought about it.
But he remained calm and replied, "Go ahead and say it."
"Hey, your fourth son, I was just saying, isn't he still unmarried? So, has he found a suitable partner yet?"
Sun Ni felt a little embarrassed when she said this. Generally speaking, it is the man who takes the initiative to come to the woman's house. It is embarrassing for the woman to come to the woman's house and ask.
"Ah, you're asking about this?" Granny Liu paused for a moment, thinking that he was asking to borrow money. She had already thought about how to refuse, but suddenly he jumped to the fourth brother's head, and she didn't react for a moment.
"Yeah, what else did you expect me to say?"
“It’s okay, my fourth son doesn’t have a girlfriend yet. He’s still in another city. Where is he going to find a girlfriend? He’s already twenty-five. It’s time for him to find someone. If he doesn’t have a suitable one when he comes back this year, I won’t let him go out anymore. He has to get married first.”
After Sun Ni mentioned it, Granny Liu remembered that Lao Si was still single. She had been living too comfortably and had forgotten about him. It was time to find a partner.
"What, do you have something suitable here?" Granny Liu realized that Sun Ni hadn't come here just to ask this out of boredom; she must have come to introduce someone to Lao Si.
Sun Ni calmly explained, "I just suddenly remembered that your fourth son is still single, so I just asked casually. Maybe one day I'll be the matchmaker, right?"
"Hey, is your Xiufen still single? How about introducing someone to my fourth son?"
Granny Liu suddenly remembered that Sun Ni had a young daughter who was not yet married. This was perfect! She had watched the girl grow up. She was not only beautiful but also hardworking. She was good at both housework and household chores. She was a good girl.
"Ah, my Xiufen, she doesn't have a boyfriend, but your fourth son hasn't come back yet, otherwise we could really set them up."
While saying this aloud, she was inwardly cursing her daughter. What a great opportunity! If she hadn't been hanging on to so many other women, she would have agreed immediately.
Fortunately, Xu's fourth son won't be home for another six months, so he'll try to get his daughter and that guy to break up during that time.
Xu Minghan and his family, who were far away in Tianshui City, were unaware of this matter. Otherwise, they would have been surprised to learn that their fourth sister-in-law had someone in her heart in their previous life. No wonder she would often quarrel with her fourth brother and go back to her parents' home back then, because she never really liked her fourth brother.
Time flies, and it's already mid-August. The time for elementary school registration is fast approaching. After thinking it over, Zhang Xuemei couldn't resist going to her older brother's house again.
"Big brother and sister-in-law, are you really not going to let Ya Jing go to school in the city? The school hasn't registered yet, there's still time."
Zhang Xuemei had already mentioned Ya Jing's schooling to her elder brother and sister-in-law when she was helping her two nephews find schools. However, her elder brother refused, saying that Ya Jing was already in first grade and it would be too troublesome to transfer schools.
But when she ran into Xu Yanhong a few days ago, she casually asked her about it and found that transferring schools wasn't too difficult, so she came again today.
张雪峰没想到小妹今天来又是说这件事，他还是那句话，“雪梅，这转来转去的太麻烦了，就让她在村里上吧，再说了，在村里妈还能帮忙带他们两个小的，来这里我和你大嫂做生意也照顾不上他们。”
