When Second Aunt Su heard that the other party's parents were martyrs and that she had no other relatives, her eyes rolled quickly: "Shiliu, your sister Juanzi is not to be praised, she is very capable and manages everything at home and outside. I like the boy you mentioned. When do you think we can meet each other?"
"There's no rush for this. I need to write to Zhou Pan first to ask him. What if he finds a partner during the Chinese New Year?"
When Aunt Su heard this, she became anxious: "Then you should pay more attention to it. If they really get together, I will definitely treat him/her as my own child." The other party is an orphan, so he/she can settle down here at home, and then the sisters Niu Niu and Juanzi will have someone to take care of them.
Shi Liu really thinks that Zhou Fangxing, whom Zhou Pan mentioned, is a good candidate. Perhaps because of family reasons, the four cousins in her second aunt's family all have tenacious personalities and are capable of taking on responsibilities. In other words, they are very suitable to be military wives.
According to Zhou Pan, Zhou Fangxing was targeted by a female soldier in the art troupe. However, the female soldier's behavior was a bit unpleasant, so Zhou Fangxing had been avoiding her. However, this kind of thing was not a solution. Zhou Fangxing wanted to find a wife as soon as possible to avoid being stared at by the other party all day long. If he accidentally got into trouble one day, he would not be able to explain himself.
Second Aunt Su didn't think there was anything wrong with this. A daughter is sought after by hundreds of families, and similarly, a good son-in-law is also sought after by everyone. This only shows that the young man is capable.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she couldn't miss out on this good son-in-law. Juanzi looked like her, and could be called a pretty lady, but she was far inferior to Shi Liu. Moreover, because Juanzi often worked in the fields, her skin wasn't fair. She gradually began to worry: "Shi Liu, how do you maintain your face? Your sister Juanzi's skin is a little darker, but she's not bad looking."
No one in the Su family is ugly. Sister Juanzi looks like Second Aunt, so naturally she is not ugly. Shi Liu started to promote the whitening cream again: "That whitening cream is definitely effective. Later, you can take two bottles and give one to Sister Juanzi and Sister Niuniu."
Aunt Su felt her pocket and wanted to give money, but she found out with embarrassment that she had left in a hurry today and forgot to bring money.
Shi Liu quickly smiled and said, "These two bottles are my gifts to my cousin. If they are useful, I'll pay you next time."
Second Aunt Su breathed a sigh of relief. She had to admit that Shi Liu was more articulate than her mother. She remembered that Shi Liu loved wild delicacies, and she'd asked Juanzi to pick more for her in the spring. She couldn't take advantage of them, or her third sister would mock her endlessly if she found out. Su Sanlan was truly lucky; aside from the loss of her husband in middle age, her life had been uneventful.
"I'll ask your sister Juanzi to bring you some mountain delicacies later. If there's anything else you like to eat, like pomegranates, tell your second aunt and I'll go look for them in the mountains."
Shi Liu was not polite either: "Second Aunt, tell Sister Juanzi to help pick some purslane. I really like eating purslane salad."
"Purslane is delicious when served cold. If you like purslane, you can try making dumplings with it. It tastes pretty good."
The two of them chatted until they reached the foot of the mountain. Aunt Su frowned as she saw the desolate surroundings. After a while, she said, "There are only two houses, which is not enough for us to live in. Besides, we don't have many strong men in our family, so it's not safe to live at the foot of the mountain. Let's rent one."
"That's fine too. As for the homestead, there's a vacant lot near our house. If Second Aunt wants it, just tell Uncle."
Aunt Su was worried that something might have changed, so she simply asked Shi Liu to take her to Uncle Shi's house.
Uncle Shi nodded when he learned about Aunt Su's background. "It's perfectly fine for your family to move here. This isn't unprecedented in our village, so it's completely fine. As for the homestead, you can decide which plot of land you'd like. As for the land next to Shi Liu's, I think it's better to forget about it. It's a bit small, and they have so many people. It won't be big enough for them in two years, so they'll definitely need to expand by then."
Second Aunt Su felt a little regretful, but her third sister's family did have more males than hers. "I don't know the situation, Captain. Why don't you help me choose a piece of land?"
Since they were all relatives, Uncle Shi didn't bother to be polite and carefully helped choose a piece of land for the house. Worried that the other party didn't know the situation, he explained: "There are several families around here who have come here to live with relatives. They are all good people, otherwise we would not have agreed to let them settle down." The people in this village are somewhat xenophobic, and building a house there will help the Zhao family integrate better.
Second Aunt Su also understood the ways of the world and was quite grateful. She also knew that she was benefiting from her third sister's help. She secretly thought that when her conditions improved in the future, she would definitely send some delicious food to her aunt. Su Sanlan had loved eating since she was a child.
When Su Sanlan learned of Second Aunt Su's choice, she wasn't surprised. Although her son-in-law had just cleaned up the house, it was still too small to be suitable for the Zhao family. "When are you going to move? Let the older brothers help."
"We'll pack up and move in tomorrow. I've already agreed with the team leader to borrow the production team's tractor so we can move everything in one go to save us the hassle of going back and forth." In fact, she was mainly worried that the Zhao family would stop her, otherwise Second Aunt Su would not be willing to rent the tractor.
"Okay then, just let all four of them follow."
Su Sanlan was also very clear about the character of the Zhao family. Her second brother-in-law and his family wanted to move away, and that group of people would definitely want to take advantage of the opportunity. Sending the eldest brother and his four brothers over would be a good way to scare them.
Shi Liu watched as her mother and her second aunt went back and forth to arrange things, and the whole thing was like a palace drama. Are the people in the Zhao family really that scary?
Seeing this, Second Brother Shi chuckled, "Big sister, when the Zhao family was causing trouble, you were still in school, so you naturally didn't know how difficult the Zhao family was to deal with. Let me put it this way, Shizhu's family is one of the most difficult to deal with in Shitou Village, but even that's not as difficult as the Zhao family. In order to get Second Uncle to adopt that boy, his sister-in-law rolled on the ground and threatened not to get up if Second Uncle didn't agree."
Brother Shi felt a headache when he thought about that scene: "That's right, my second uncle was humiliated at the time. If it weren't for my mother's domineering attitude, he might have been caught by the other party."
Shi Liu asked curiously, "How did mother handle it?"
"What else could I do? I went up and slapped him twice. You don't know how his face swelled up like a pig's head after those two slaps, and a tooth popped out of his mouth! He was so scared that he ran away. The others left after seeing my mother's terrifying fighting power."
Shi Liu's mouth twitched, and she said in disbelief, "The man from the Zhao family is gone just like that?"
"Of course." Second Brother Shi raised his head proudly. "Even now, that woman would hide away when she saw our mother. Last time when we went to Hewan Village to arrange a blind date for the fourth brother, the old woman who ran like a rabbit was my second uncle's sister-in-law."
Shi Liu blinked. She seemed to see such a woman, but at that time she just thought that she had something urgent to do. It turned out that she was trying to hide from her mother. Her fighting ability was really extraordinary.
