This time, it's for Chi Sanhe to find a wife.
However, Chi Sanhe didn't seem very interested in this matter, only saying that his mother should choose first, and he would go to find someone to marry once his mother felt it was acceptable.
If he is satisfied, then naturally they will go to his home to propose marriage.
This is actually where Chi Sanhe's cleverness lies.
If the mother-in-law is satisfied, there will naturally be fewer conflicts in the future. Besides, it was the mother who made the choice, so she won't be able to blame him later!
Then, he made his own choice, so as not to wrong himself.
Therefore, no one is truly stupid; it's just that you may not have discovered their intelligence yet.
"Oh dear, why did you take so long? I'm about to die from the heat!" Aunt Lou complained as soon as she saw Aunt Chi, humming through her mouth and nose.
In this sweltering heat, she's practically sweating from the sun.
"Isn't it Dashan who suddenly came back? Say a few more words, and I'll buy you a big watermelon later! My dear sister, please take me there quickly."
Aunt Chi smiled and linked arms with Aunt Lou, not minding the heat at all.
After arriving in Pinghe Town, Aunt Chi's first friend was Aunt Lou, even though she disliked Aunt Lou's daughter-in-law.
But Aunt Lou's enthusiasm was irresistible!
After figuring out Aunt Chi's personality, he would often go to Fenghua Hall to talk to her.
All the gossip, big and small, in Pinghe Town was thoroughly known to Aunt Chi through Aunt Lou's big mouth!
"Tch, do you think I need a watermelon from you? Hurry up and go... you have to buy me two tonight!" Aunt Lou wiggled her hips and went off with her old friend.
They went to a fabric shop to buy cloth.
The owner of this cloth shop has seven daughters. The first six daughters are all married, and this youngest daughter is nineteen years old this year. I heard that he wants to find a husband for her!
The main reason Aunt Chi agreed to come and look at the girl was because she was capable, sensible, and knew how to handle things!
As for taking a son-in-law as a wife...
Aunt Chi also understood that the other party did not want the family line to end, so after the two got married, they could have a son who would take the woman's surname.
Since her third son already has two sons, she's not worried.
"Is Aunt Lou here to buy fabric for her grandson again today?" Miss Sun Qi lifted the curtain and appeared in front of everyone in a generous and neat manner.
The girl, around eighteen or nineteen years old, had a beautiful and radiant face, a bold and generous air about her, and a clear and resolute gaze.
Aunt Chi was extremely satisfied with this first impression!
Miss Sun Qi was of medium height and build, but her round face was considered a sign of good fortune by the elders!
His opening remarks were crisp and clear, and he made Aunt Lou laugh after only a few words.
Aunt Chi nodded repeatedly as she watched.
It was hard for Miss Sun not to notice this "kind and satisfied" gaze, but the young lady did not specifically look at Aunt Chi. She simply greeted her with a smile and then treated her as an ordinary guest.
There was no blushing, no awkwardness.
Aunt Chi really liked his graceful and generous demeanor!
"...These two bolts of fabric are light and cool to the touch, perfect for wearing right now. Adults might hesitate to use them, but they'd be ideal for making a couple of outfits for the children. Children are energetic and will inevitably feel hot and uncomfortable..."
"I'll buy them all."
Aunt Chi nodded with a smile.
His eyes never left Miss Sun Qi.
Even though Miss Sun Qi wasn't as shy as most women, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Seeing that Aunt Chi had bought everything, she reminded her, "Auntie, are all these clothes suitable for your child?"
"Oh my, you're so kind-hearted. Who doesn't want customers to buy as much as possible? You're such a good girl."
Aunt Chi held onto Sun Qi's hand tightly, unwilling to let go.
Later, it was Aunt Lou who couldn't stand it anymore and forced them to separate.
Immediately, Aunt Chi's resentful gaze fell upon Aunt Lou, making Aunt Lou wonder if she was trying to break up the couple.
"Auntie, you flatter me. Our family's business is for the long term..."
After exchanging a few polite words, Aunt Chi readily bought two bolts of cloth without even haggling over the price, which was quite decisive.
Aunt Lou couldn't bear to look and pulled Aunt Chi outside.
"I'm telling you to tone it down, don't scare the girl!"
"Sigh, what should we do? That girl is so nice, do you think she'd be interested in my Sanhe? Or maybe Sihai? But Sihai isn't good enough for her, is he?"
Before coming, Aunt Chi was full of confidence.
I feel that my family's conditions are much better now, and these days, how many men would be willing to be a live-in son-in-law?
Therefore, Sanhe should be a very good choice for Miss Sun Qi.
But now...
She genuinely felt that Sanhe was not good enough for that girl.
"Look at you, in other families the mother-in-law looks down on her daughter-in-law and thinks her son is the best in the world, how come you're the opposite?"
Seeing that Aunt Chi seemed a little distracted, Aunt Lou pulled her to sit down at a nearby teahouse.
I ordered two bowls of herbal tea and a plate of snacks.
Aunt Chi sighed, "Sigh, it's not that I'm talking the other way around. You're not an outsider, and I won't say anything empty. My Sanhe is incredibly lazy and has no skills whatsoever. How could he possibly be worthy of someone else's daughter?"
She is shrewd, capable, beautiful, and poised.
Who wouldn't say they like it after seeing it?
She could criticize her son, but Aunt Lou would never agree with her.
"What are you saying? Doesn't Sanhe have any redeeming qualities? Miss Sun Qi is clearly a strong woman, the type to take charge. Your Sanhe is gentle; their personalities complement each other perfectly! And also…"
I'm telling you the truth, and I hope you don't take it personally. I don't mean anything by it.
"Your family in Sanhe has already had two sons from a previous marriage, and you have five sons. Even if Sanhe were to marry into your family, the chances of your family agreeing would be high, right? At the very least, if she doesn't marry into your family, and their children take the surname Sun, would you still agree to that?"
Aunt Chi nodded: "Of course. Knowing that they want a son-in-law to live with them, how could I say I disagree with the child taking their surname and then go and provoke them? What would that make me?"
"Yes, and our family isn't doing badly either. Look at your family members, they're all doing well in business, and Erchuan is doing well in his studies... Our conditions aren't bad at all."
Aunt Lou gave her a few harsh words of advice.
Finally, seeing that Aunt Chi genuinely liked Miss Sun, he leaned over and whispered, "How about this, if you're really interested, I'll go and talk to Miss Sun, let her know what she thinks, okay?"
"Oh, thank you so much. Sister, why don't you go and ask today?" Aunt Chi couldn't wait a moment longer.
Aunt Lou: "Now?"
"Yes, yes, thank you for your hard work. I'll buy you a whole truckload of watermelons, let alone just one..." Aunt Chi urged Aunt Lou to go straight to the Sun family's house.
Then I went home and anxiously awaited a reply.
