Despite all the nagging, Grandma Jiang still felt sorry for Jiang Sui Sui: "Don't be unhappy. If you marry into a normal family, you will not only have to take care of housework, but also work in the fields. Can you see which family doesn't have men and women working together?"

"The more I think about it these days, the more I feel that Song Wei Zheng is doing okay. Although there are two burdens at home, I heard that his mother's health is getting better and better. Xiao Xue has grown up and doesn't need adults to take care of her anymore. She can help with some work now."

"Song Weizheng is a capable and hardworking man, and he has nothing to say about his family. If you marry him, at least he won't let you suffer any grievances. You don't know how hard it is to live in a family with so many people?"

Grandma Jiang was also a daughter-in-law herself, and she knew the hardships of being a daughter-in-law of another family. So after her children all got married, she simply divided the family into two groups, each with their own house and each living their own life. She and the old man are still able to work now, so they don't need them to take care of them. When they are too old to work, each family will just need to give them some food every year.

There are not many people in the village who divide their family property as cleanly and neatly as Grandma Jiang. In most families, three generations live together and they cook one big pot every day for everyone to eat together.

Jiang Suisui sighed in her heart, the reason why she could live a relatively easy life was thanks to Grandma Jiang's early separation of the family. She only had to face her grandparents every day, and didn't have to deal with the families of her second and third uncles, which together numbered more than ten people, and it gave her a headache just thinking about it.

"Oh, grandma," she suddenly thought, "Just now Zhang Wenfang and the others advised me to cancel the engagement, and said that if I canceled the engagement and no one wanted me, they would introduce me to her eldest uncle's cousin. But that's disgusting, as if I was taking advantage. I don't believe she would introduce me to a good resource. Maybe it's the kind of family you said, who likes to make trouble for others."

Grandma Jiang got anxious when she heard this: "What? She said she wanted to introduce her uncle's son?!"

"Well! What's the matter? Is there really a situation?" Jiang Suishun asked curiously.

"That damn girl!" Grandma Jiang slapped her thigh in anger. "I told you she was wicked. Her uncle is in the brigade next to us. He had four sons, but only one is still unmarried. He's already 27 or 28 years old, 10 years older than you! He was born with a lame leg, and his brain doesn't seem to be very good either. He can't do heavy work and can only be served by others! His family asks matchmakers to find a partner for him all day long, but they haven't found one yet!"

"Ah?" Jiang Suinsui was stunned. She had thought that Zhang Wenfang might cheat her, but she didn't expect it to be so cheating! It was natural for this family to want to find a wife for their son, and she could understand it. But as a good sister, it was not nice to introduce such a person to her.

As Grandma Jiang was talking, she wanted to go out and talk to someone, but Jiang Suishun quickly stopped her: "Grandma, forget it! She was just talking, and I didn't agree to her. I already knew that she didn't have any good intentions towards me."

Grandma Jiang was furious: "If she dares to come to my house again, I will chase her out with a broom!"

Seeing the grandmother who loved her granddaughter so much, Jiang Suinsui couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. She thought of her original ending, where she was framed and lost her virginity to a rogue, and had to marry someone in a hurry. The article briefly mentioned that Grandma Jiang was so angry that she fell to the ground. One can imagine how heartbroken Grandma Jiang must have been at that time.

She secretly said in her heart that she would never let this happen.

Jiang Suisui snuggled up to her grandmother and said soothingly, "Grandma, I know you're good to me, and I won't bother with those people with bad intentions anymore. From now on, I will focus on honoring you, and I'll take you to the city to enjoy life in the future!"

After hearing this, Grandma Jiang suddenly became happy: "Why go to the city? I think our village is good enough. Just live your life well and I will be relieved."

Jiang Suinsui chuckled and said nothing more. One day in the future, she would fulfill her promise.

"By the way, I just noticed an egg in the nest of the chickens you fed during the day. I'll cook it for you later," said Grandma Jiang.

Jiang Suisui couldn't help but slurp his saliva, then smiled and said in a useless way: "Thank you, grandma~"

In the past, Jiang Suinsui would never have thought that she would have the opportunity to eat eggs. This was because Grandma Jiang loved her granddaughter and cooked two eggs for her every month. For other families, this would be considered a luxury.

There is no other way. Eggs are a scarce resource these days. Villagers don’t eat much, so they collect eggs and go to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange them for money. Grandma Jiang has collected 20 to 30 eggs now, and plans to exchange them when the market is next.

Jiang Suinsui's eyes lit up when he thought of this, and he said to Grandma Jiang, "Grandma, next time we meet, I'll help you get to the town, right? You don't have to make the tiring trip."

Grandma Jiang: "You want to go to town? What do you want to buy? I don't have any money to give you. I have to buy your dowry now."

Jiang Suisui said quickly, "I'm not buying anything! I'm just running an errand for you, nothing else! You don't have to give me money."

Grandma Jiang was still a little skeptical: "Then don't spend the money you got from the eggs! You will be 18 in a few months and can get married. You need to prepare your dowry. When you get married, you have to have some money in your own hands to have confidence. This is not a small amount!"

Jiang Suisui was moved when she heard this: "I understand! Grandma, I am sensible now, don't worry! You don't have to prepare only the dowry for me, you should also save some money for your old age."

Grandma Jiang smiled and nodded: "That's fine. Don't worry about me. If it doesn't help, there are still your second and third uncles. How dare they not support me when I'm old?"

"Okay, if you want to go to the town, go ahead, but you have to promise me that you will come back after changing the eggs and don't play around," Grandma Jiang instructed.

Jiang Suishun nodded repeatedly: "I promise, don't worry!"

Jiang Suinsui was happy to get the permission. She could finally exchange the map and see the county town in the 1970s!

On the other side, Song Weizhen returned home from the mountain. As soon as he put down the backpack, Song Yuxue came to meet him.

"Brother, we agreed that I would go collect grass for the pigs later, how come you've done it all already?" She complained while helping her brother clean up.

Song Weizheng scooped a bucket of water from the water tank, tilted his head back and drank it in three or two gulps, and said casually: "I got off work early today, so I did it while I was at it. I'll let you do it next time."

"How is Mom today?" Song Weizheng asked.

Song Yuxue replied: "It's fine. I stayed in the yard for a long time today and even helped with cooking, but I didn't let him."

Song Weizheng nodded: "Yes. Mom is in good health recently, but don't let her do anything. She can't get tired."

"I know. But..." Song Yuxue looked at him, hesitant to speak.

Song Weizheng: "What's the matter? If you have something to say, just say it."

Song Yuxue looked back at her mother's room, then bit her lip, blinked her big, innocent eyes, and whispered, "I think Mom has been in good health recently because she is in a good mood. Maybe she is happy that you are engaged."

Song Weizheng was not surprised, as part of the reason he got engaged was to make his mother happy, so that she wouldn't worry about being a burden to him or that he couldn't find a wife.

"Also... Mom said today that she wanted to invite Jiang Sui Sui and her grandparents over for dinner." Song Yuxue continued, "She said she didn't show up on the engagement day and felt embarrassed, so she invited them to dinner to make up for it, and she'll cook for them herself."

Song Weizheng frowned: "I arranged the engagement myself, and I didn't tell her in advance because I didn't want her to worry about it. Why are you still thinking about this now?"

"You're still talking," Song Yuxue complained, "Mom has been nagging you about this. You did such an important thing so casually without telling her to prepare properly. Now she feels that she has wronged the girl."

After listening to her, Song Weizheng touched her head and said, "I'll go talk to mom."

Song Yuxue grabbed his sleeve and said, "Brother... tell me the truth, do you really want to get engaged to Jiang Suunshun? If you don't want to, don't force yourself."

She hesitated for the rest of the sentence: "I think... I think Jiang Suishun is not as bad as I thought. If you really want to marry someone, you have to be nice to them. If you don't want to... if you don't want to, it's best to say it directly."

Song Wei Zheng paused when he heard this, and was slightly dazed. He remembered what Jiang Suisui said today.

She said that if he found someone he liked in the future, she would immediately cancel the engagement...

Song Weizheng was stunned. Was he really that reluctant? It would have been fine if his sister had persuaded him, but Jiang Suishun had given in so much that he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

It was indeed not his original intention to get engaged, but since he had decided to get engaged, unless Jiang Suishun was unwilling, he would fulfill his promise.

As for the person he likes... he has never thought about it, and it is hard for him to imagine who he would like.

Song Wei Zheng rubbed his sister's head and said, "Why do you like to think about this and that? I don't mind. But you, didn't you say before that you didn't like her and wanted me to cancel the engagement? Why do you seem to be afraid that I've wronged her now?"

Song Yuxue shook her head and struggled to break free from his hand: "Stop rubbing my head. You've messed up my hair."

Song Wei Zheng paused, then chuckled, his sister has grown up.

Song Yuxue continued, "I didn't like her originally because people said she was lazy, bad-tempered and had a bad temper. I was afraid she would treat mom badly and I was also afraid she would treat you badly."

"But...but I met her a few days ago and talked to her for a few words. I felt that...she seemed okay, not as bad as people say." At least, Jiang Suishun was the first person other than her brother to stand up and speak for her.

Song Weizheng chuckled: "Okay, it's only been a few days and you've been dragged over? Your attitude has changed."

Song Yuxue pouted in dissatisfaction: "No, I can't tell whether it's a pull or not? Don't treat me like a child!" Although she is a child, Song Yuxue thinks she is very good at judging people.

"Okay, I won't treat you like a child." Song Weizheng smiled and didn't refute her. "Then tell me, why are you suddenly siding with someone else?"

Song Yuxue twisted her body, unwilling to elaborate: "Anyway, anyway, I think she is a good person."

She quickly glanced at her brother and said sheepishly, "If you really want to marry her, then listen to me and invite her over for dinner. I haven't even met her yet."

Song Weizheng looked at her and felt it was amazing. What did Jiang Suishun do to soften his sister in an instant?
