As Brother Sang described, Sheng Ruowei is a resilient and straightforward woman.
Even though she has lived a difficult life all these years, her eyes remain bright.
The moment Bu Ling saw her, he knew why Brother Sang had been so attached to this older sister all these years.
To be fair, Sheng Ruowei isn't particularly good-looking; one could only describe her as having regular features.
But her charisma is captivating.
According to Brother Sang, she has been living in the countryside with her nephews and nieces for many years.
One can imagine how difficult life must be for a single woman with a child living in the countryside.
But Sheng Ruowei didn't complain at all; her eyes and brows were full of peace.
She raised her four children very well. Although she wore patched clothes, she was poised and elegant, showing no signs of embarrassment.
Furthermore, the four children are quite well-mannered, and it's clear they have been carefully taught.
Back to Sheng Ruowei, she came to our door today as Brother Sang's girlfriend.
But she wasn't shy like a young girl; every move she made, every smile she gave, was full of charm as she talked with the old man.
She was also well-read and had her own pride, but unlike her fifth sister-in-law, she was aloof and self-important.
She speaks softly and gently, yet she has her own ideas.
When she told him that she was selling snacks at a stall to support her nephews and nieces' schooling, Grandpa Sang felt heartbroken and immediately offered to arrange a job for her.
However, Sheng Ruowei rejected him, and she said this:
"Grandpa Sang, Ruowei knows you mean well, but Ruowei has hands and feet and can support herself."
"I also want to support myself and create a better life for Bo'er and the others with my own hands."
“Bo’er and the others are my nephews and nieces, and it is my responsibility to teach them well so that they don’t develop the habit of getting something for nothing.”
“Although setting up a stall is hard work, it pays well enough for me to support Bo’er and the others.”
Sheng Ruowei has her own pride; she has hands and feet, so why would she accept help from others?
Moreover, she and Brother Sang have this kind of relationship.
If she accepts the job offered by the Sang family, what will the other Sang family daughters-in-law think?
Moreover, if she accepts it, won't she feel inferior to others?
These years of experience have made Sheng Ruowei consider issues more comprehensively, so she did not hesitate to refuse the job arranged for her by Grandpa Sang.
Even though she knew that with Grandpa Sang's current status, it would be easy for him to arrange a high-paying, easy job for her that was close to home, she was unwilling.
Although she knelt down to pick up the broken pieces of silver, she was still the proud youngest daughter of the Sheng family, with her own principles.
As Sheng Ruowei finished speaking, Grandpa Sang's eyes darted back and forth between heartache and pride.
Brother Sang was filled with pride.
As for the Mulberry Brothers, they admired their future sister-in-law even more.
Only Buling looked at her future sister-in-law with sparkling eyes; she liked this kind of independent and self-reliant woman.
That's right, who said lesbians have to rely on men?
Women are just as good as men, okay?
As the saying goes, it's better to invest in yourself than in others.
Because I will never betray myself.
The younger members of the Sheng family proudly puffed out their chests; this was their aunt, their most beloved aunt.
The lunch was quite lively.
Sheng Ruowei won over the entire Sang family with her personal charm, and made them all agree that their eldest brother was not good enough for such a wonderful sister-in-law.
My brother is incredibly lucky.
After dinner, Brother Sang and Sheng Ruowei sat side by side on the sofa, while the old man sat on the other side. The three of them began to discuss the wedding arrangements.
Since all the elders of the Sheng family have passed away, Sheng Ruowei can make her own decisions.
Her first words were: "Grandpa Sang, I have to raise Bo'er, Yuan'er and the other two to adulthood."
Grandpa Sang nodded without hesitation: "That's only right."
Sheng Ruowei visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she was deeply moved by Brother Sang's years of waiting, Bo'er and the others were also her inescapable responsibility, and she was willing to sacrifice herself if necessary.
Sheng Zhibo hurriedly said, "Auntie, I'm all grown up now, I can take care of my younger brother and sister."
He didn't want to jeopardize his aunt's happiness because of himself.
Over the years, it's not that no one has asked my aunt for a marriage proposal, but they all ran away when they heard that she would be bringing four nephews and nieces with her.
Sheng Ruowei smiled and glanced at him, then turned to Grandpa Sang and explained, "Bo'er just got into Tsinghua University this year, while Yuan'er and Yang'er are only in high school. Once they all get into university, it'll be time for me, their aunt, to let go."
The old man had no objection whatsoever. "It's only right."
"From now on, with the eldest son here, if there's anything you can't handle, this old man will still be here. Girl, don't be afraid of anything, your grandpa is here," Grandpa Sang solemnly promised.
Although it's a bit of a generational difference for my brother's daughter to call him "Grandpa," it doesn't matter.
Sheng Ruowei's eyes reddened at the right moment, and she said emotionally, "Thank you, Grandpa Sang."
Brother Sang, who was standing to the side, held her hand and comforted her.
"Girl, tell me if you have any other requests regarding marriage, and Grandpa will definitely fulfill them for you." Grandpa Sang was almost impatient to welcome his eldest granddaughter-in-law into the family.
Sheng Ruowei shook her head: "Grandpa Sang, I have no more requests."
Having witnessed prosperity in her childhood, she naturally possesses a keen eye for the world.
The old man didn't listen to her: "Okay, let's follow the wedding process of Xiaoqi and the others. The bride price is 666 yuan, plus three turns and one ring, and 72 legs."
