Looking at Sidi, who was eager to learn, Tang Qiqi didn't know where to begin. She simply said, "Fourth Sister, this is a complicated question!"
Sisi said calmly, "It's okay if it's complicated, take your time. I'm not in a hurry! I just want to make different kinds of pastries and become the baker you're talking about!"
When Wang came out, she overheard this and said, "You're a girl, you'll get married sooner or later. You should learn needlework and manage household affairs properly. You can't live with a dough ball all day long.
If you ask me, it's all your mother's fault for spoiling you. What's the point of sending young girls to private schools? Now, Yindi is obsessed with opening more shops, Jiedi is always running around and thinking about raising rabbits, and even Sidi isn't like that anymore. I need to talk to your mother and tell her not to send you to private schools in the county town anymore!
Just as Tang Qiqi was about to retort, Xu Lanzhi also came out. She was already used to Wang's words. She went over and helped Wang up, saying, "Grandma, stop nagging. I know you miss Zhaodi. I miss her too!"
Wang said with tears streaming down her face, "This child has been gone for so long without any news. Logically, we should arrange a marriage for her. Yindi is not young anymore, and it's not good for her to be out in public every day. Why not let Chunya's son-in-law go and look after the shop for her and bring her back?"
Tang Qiqi felt increasingly uneasy as she listened. It seemed her grandmother was planning to keep all of them confined at home.

Xu Lanzhi's face showed displeasure, but her tone was still gentle: "Mother, why do you always think of things on a whim? Yindi is doing a good job, and I don't even want to ask her to come back, let alone her."
Wang's face also turned cold as she said, "All you know is to let the children run wild. You have no idea how bad the outside world is saying. Now everyone in the surrounding villages is saying that our Tang family is all hen-like and rooster-like. I have nowhere to put my face!"
Xu Lanzhi smiled helplessly: "Mother, didn't my eldest sister come by? Did she tell you these things? What she said isn't right. Our family is all hens, no roosters. So, according to my eldest sister, we should all go home and hide from our wives? Who will take care of the household responsibilities then?"
Wang was speechless for a long time before finally saying, "I know you've worked hard for this family, more than anyone else, but now that things are better, the seven sisters should settle down, otherwise they won't be able to find husbands in the future."
Tang Qiqi felt indignant for Xu Lanzhi. After so many things had happened, her grandmother still believed that a woman should ultimately return to her family.
She picked up the conversation and said, "Grandmother, getting married and working are not contradictory. My sisters are all capable. Are you worried that they won't be able to find husbands? After they get married, they will still have to manage the family business. How can Mother manage on her own?"
Madam Wang kept nagging, "What do you know, you're just a child! Lanzhi, Zhaodi and Yindi are both so old, and not a single suitor has come to propose marriage. Aren't you worried at all?"
It's not that I want to protect your three older sisters, but they all have sons. Let them manage their businesses; it's better for the girls to stay out of the public eye!
Xu Lanzhi did not continue arguing with Wang Shi, but said she was going out for a walk. A perfectly good meal ended unhappily, and everyone was unhappy.
Xu Lanzhi walked to the chicken farm, where Tang Qiumei was taking care of the chicks with Ziqiang, Zili, and several other women.

Seeing that Xu Lanzhi looked preoccupied, Tang Qiumei came over and asked her what was wrong. Xu Lanzhi told her about Wang Shi's worries and then asked Qiumei:
"Third sister, should I really call the children back? I've always wanted to give them a better life, but am I doing the right thing?"
Tang Qiumei laughed: "Lanzhi, what's the use of you worrying here? Why don't you just ask the children?"
The others are still young, but Yindi and Jiedi are already quite grown-up; they know exactly what they're doing.
Xu Lanzhi was stunned. Tang Qiumei was letting the children make their own decisions, something she hadn't expected.
Tang Qiumei continued, "Back then, my father passed away unexpectedly, and my mother always wanted to marry me off as soon as possible so that I would have a husband's family to protect me. The Zhao family had six sons, but what happened? I ended up being treated like a slave after I married into the family."
If I had the confidence I have now and could earn my own money, the Zhao family wouldn't have bullied me like this.
Lanzhi, it's not necessarily a bad thing for a girl to be capable!
Tang Qiumei's words enlightened Xu Lanzhi. Yes, why bother with unnecessary worries? Go ask your daughters what they're thinking.
These past few days, because of dealing with matters at the chicken farm, the children have all asked Mr. Liu for leave. Except for Yindi, who went back to the shop to help, the other children are all in Tangjiagou.

Xu Lanzhi hadn't seen Jiedi for the past few days. She waited at the door until the last rays of sunlight disappeared below the horizon before Jiedi and Baogen returned, chatting and laughing.
"Mom, what are you doing standing at the door? Who are you waiting for?" Jiedi asked casually.
"I'm waiting for you. I have a few words to say to you," Xu Lanzhi said with a loving expression.
Seeing this, Baogen wisely greeted Xu Lanzhi and went back to his own home.
Jiedi said excitedly, "Mother, I also have something to tell you. I don't want to go to the private school anymore. Now my second sister is busy with the shop and doesn't go to the private school. It's full of little kids, and I'm the oldest."
Xu Lanzhi straightened Jiedi's messy hair and said, "Isn't there Baogen too?"
Jiedi said, "Brother Baogen doesn't want to go anymore. We want to raise rabbits again. We can't sell many in Huaiyuan. We can go to the surrounding counties or Lanling, just like you sell chickens."
Xu Lanzhi said, "You're always running wild outside, I'm afraid no one will dare to marry you. Your grandmother's idea is that you sisters should stop going to the private school and come home obediently!"
Jiedi immediately flew into a rage: "Mother, what do you mean by 'staying put'? Like a rich family's daughter, never leaving the house and just being a pretty face, or like the girls in the village, who marry anyone they can find at thirteen or fourteen and serve their in-laws?"
"Mother, I can't live like that. Look at Aunt Zhang's Ximei, she used to be such a clever girl, but after she got married, she became like Li Cuie. Do you want me to become like that?"

When Xu Lanzhi compared the two, she realized it was true. Just thinking about Ximei made her break out in a cold sweat.
Xu Lanzhi joked, "But you have to raise rabbits every day, so I guess no one will dare to propose marriage. Be careful you won't be able to get married."
Jiedi said with a smile, "It's good that I can't get married, I can be my mother's child for the rest of my life."
Mother, don't worry about this. If your daughters all become successful, then there will be a long line of eligible bachelors, and then we can choose them.
Tell me quickly, where did you buy the breeding rabbits last time? The few we have at home aren't enough!
