The whole family traveled through ancient times to start a new business

After hearing this, Mrs. Su smiled and said, "Okay, stop saying these polite words. Go back and think about your lifelong event carefully!"

Nianchun bowed to Old Madam Su and left her room.

The Su family did not expect the Nianchun sisters to give them anything in return, but just hoped that their temporary kindness would not bring any trouble to their family! Fortunately, the Nianchun sisters have always been good girls who abide by their duties and are sincere to the Su family. For these, Mrs. Su was still relieved.

At night, the two sisters returned to their rooms, and Nianchun told Nianqiu about Old Lady Chen's proposal.

After hearing this, Nian Qiu was happy for her sister and said, "The Chen family is good. Everyone in the family lives a down-to-earth life and is very united. Not to mention Old Mrs. Chen, we have always gotten along well with her. I also have contact with Chen's aunt-in-law. She is a nice person and easy to get along with." Chen Feng's mother was very good at needlework and she usually made clothes for the Su family, so Nian Qiu had contact with her often.

Nianchun also said affirmatively: "Yes, the Chen family is good."

Nian Qiu continued, "Sister, we can't just look at the Chen family. What kind of person is Chen Feng? I haven't met this person."

Nianchun replied pertinently, "He's a nice person." After saying this, Nianchun was a little absent-minded.

Nian Qiu knows her sister so well! Although she didn't show it, Nian Qiu still saw her hesitation. After thinking for a while, she said, "Sister, what are you thinking about? You don't have to worry about me. I can support myself now, and I believe the master family will not treat me unfairly."

After hearing this, Nianchun came to her senses and said, "What do you mean? From what you said, if I get married, you won't go with me? That won't do. We sisters can't be separated."

Nian Qiu said, "Sister, even if I don't go with you, we won't be separated! We live in the same village, so we can see each other whenever we want."

Nianchun wanted to refute, but Nianqiu didn't wait for her to refute and continued, "Sister, listen to me! I can continue to learn skills if I stay in the Su family. I can always learn some skills by following the master's family. Besides, the master's family is so kind! They will not treat me unfairly. If I want to be free one day, I believe the old lady will help me. Besides, how can a sister marry with a younger sister? If I am just young, I am already so old. The Li family also has boys of the same age as me. It is not good for me to marry there with you. Not only will it be inconvenient, but it will also be easy for others to talk about it."

After hearing this, Nianchun felt that what her sister said made sense. If she worked hard behind the master, she would not only learn skills, but the master would certainly not treat Nianqiu unfairly. Staying in the Su family was indeed better than going to the Chen family. But, she could be free!

Nianchun thought for a while and said, "Nianqiu, there are many advantages to staying in the master's house, but if you go with your sister, you can be free."

Nian Qiu naturally knew what Nian Chun said, but she had her own ideas: "Sister, as long as I do my duty and don't have any unreasonable expectations, the master family will not use the indenture contract as an excuse. I believe that as long as I want to leave, the master family will definitely not force me to stay and will let me go. Although I can get a free body if I go to the Chen family with you, I will be embarrassed when I get there."

Nianchun paused and told the truth: "Sister, I know you will protect me and such a thing will never happen, but I still want to say it. We sisters don't have any backers. I'm afraid the only one who can be our backer is the Su family. You know the character of the Su family. As long as we are truly loyal to the Su family, the Su family will become our backer. We don't have a natal family, and the Su family will be our natal family in the future. If you are bullied by the Chen family in the future, I'm afraid only the Su family can make the decision for us." After he finished speaking, Nianqiu looked at Nianchun firmly and continued: "Besides, sister, I don't want to be controlled by others. If I go to the Chen family with you, I will be controlled by the Chen family more or less. I'm afraid that no matter who I marry in the future, I will have to listen to the Chen family. I don't want this. In the long run, it's better for me to stay in the Su family. Staying in the Su family means you don't have freedom, but in fact you are freer and can make your own decisions."

Nian Qiu's words made Nian Chun realize that her sister had really grown up and was more thoughtful than her. She was no longer the little girl who could only be protected by herself.

What Nian Qiu didn't say was that she didn't want her sister to be looked down upon by her husband's family because of her. How could a woman marry and bring her sister with her? If she owed this favor to the Li Chen family, her sister would have to bow down to the Chen family and become the weaker party. They had no one to rely on, so she couldn't let her sister be at a disadvantage from the beginning. She had to work hard to be a support for her sister, not a burden.

In the end, Nianchun was persuaded by Nianqiu that if she married into the Chen family, Nianqiu would not follow her.

The next day, Nianchun went to work as usual. Chen Feng did nothing else except avoiding Nianchun, just like the day before.

At night, when work was over, Chen Feng couldn't help himself and said to Nianchun, "Please think about me carefully. I really want to marry you."

After saying this, Chen Feng's face turned red. Without waiting for Nianchun to say anything, he quickly walked away.

In the evening, Nianchun found Old Lady Su and said, "Old Lady, please ask the Chen family for me. After we get married, I want to continue working in the store. Do they agree? Also, between Chen Feng and me, only one person can work in the store, and that person is me. If they agree, then I will marry you. If not, forget it."

Nianchun's hesitation yesterday was not only because of Nianqiu, but also because of this consideration. Many families would not agree to a newly married daughter-in-law working outside. Moreover, it was unreasonable for a couple to work in the same store. She felt that this would embarrass the host family, and the couple should take the initiative to avoid suspicion and should not work together in the store.

Old Madam Su respected Nianchun's choice very much. Regarding this matter, Old Madam Su completely considered Nianchun's intention and replied, "Okay, I will tell Old Madam Chen tomorrow."

After hearing what Nianchun said, Old Lady Su had a new understanding of Nianchun. This girl was smarter and more independent than she had imagined, and she did not give up her job.

The women here follow the rule that they should obey their fathers before marriage, their husbands after marriage, and their sons after their husbands die. They obey and depend on others all their lives. This girl is different. She knows how to rely on herself instead of others.

Old Madam Su admired Nianchun like this. She believed that her third daughter-in-law would also admire her. As long as a girl like this worked hard behind her third daughter-in-law, she would definitely be able to become a powerful shopkeeper in the future.
