Seeing that Old Lady Su did not show any displeasure on her face, Matchmaker Li continued, "I know that given your family's financial situation, you really don't need to marry such a girl. But I'm not saying anything good. This girl is indeed a good girl. She's pretty, hardworking and capable. Although she's a bit aggressive, she's a reasonable person."

After hearing this, Mrs. Su said bluntly, "I won't beat around the bush. I'll just say it straight. If there's anything unpleasant to say, it's not about you, so please forgive me. Although the girl is good, I don't want such an in-law. Although I want to find a good girl, I don't want to cause trouble for myself. Such an in-law is obviously a trouble. For such an in-law, I might as well find one who wants a dowry, so that I can save some effort."

Matchmaker Li quickly explained, "Old sister, listen to me. If you find someone who wants a dowry, won't such an in-law cause trouble in the future? This girl is different. She wants you to buy her and sign a contract to sell her."

"There are conditions!" Old Mrs. Su pointed out the key point immediately.

"There is indeed a condition. The condition is that her sister must be bought together. The condition of her marriage is that she must bring her sister with her."

In her heart, Old Lady Su admired such a girl who was brave enough to resist. If there was an opportunity or it was convenient, she was willing to help. But she was not a saint. It was not necessary for her son to help her daughter-in-law for the rest of her life. There were so many good girls, and her family was not bad now. Old Lady Su thought it was not difficult to find a girl with good conditions and good girls. Just meet them slowly! You will always meet the right one. This kind of important matter of marriage for a lifetime cannot be taken lightly.

Mrs. Su thought for a moment and said, "I don't want to cause this trouble for my family. Not only will it be troublesome, but I will also have to worry about her sister's marriage in the future. I want to know, Matchmaker Li, why did you go to so much trouble to recommend this girl to me?"

Matchmaker Li knew that given the current conditions of the Su family, with a top scholar in the family and a better life, why would they look for such a daughter-in-law? Given the conditions of the Su family, it would be no problem to find a good girl from a good family. She did this out of compassion.

Matchmaker Li told the truth: "This girl came to me on her own initiative and begged me. She told me that her stepbrother, seeing that he couldn't find a wife, began to have feelings for her and her sister. She felt that it was not a good idea to be on guard all the time, so she wanted to leave that family. Her mother and I were from the same village before she got married. We had a good relationship before she got married, and I watched her grow up. I wanted to help her, and we have to talk about it to see if it works."

Old Madam Su said bluntly: "You should know that you are a matchmaker, not a philanthropist. Although the rich marry their daughters and the poor marry their wives, there must be a limit. You can't cause trouble for my family because of your kindness."

Matchmaker Li turned pale and lowered her head. She knew in her heart that she had gone too far.

Mrs. Su thought for a moment and continued, "I can help this girl. I can buy the two sisters. They have the ability and can redeem themselves at any time. But they must sign a contract of sale with my family. Signing the contract of sale is also to restrain her stepmother. They can rest assured that if they want to redeem themselves, my family will definitely not stop them. Words are not enough. I can sign an agreement with them on this point."

"But let me be frank. Before they are redeemed, they can only be servants in my house. I bought servants who can do work, not daughters-in-law. I hope they can recognize their identities, abide by their duties, and not think about things they shouldn't. Otherwise, I will resell them. I am more difficult to deal with than her stepmother."

When matchmaker Li heard this, she understood what Old Lady Su meant. It seemed impossible for her to marry into the Su family. "Okay, I'll go back and talk to her."

Old Lady Su said bluntly, "I feel sorry for this girl, and I also like her aggressive personality. But you have to make it clear to her and let her think it over. Selling her to my family is risky. With the contract, she will be controlled by my family."

"Okay, I'll explain it to her." Matchmaker Li understood what Old Lady Su meant. With her many years of experience in judging people, she knew that the more someone exposed their bad points to you, the less likely they were to have bad intentions. They were more reliable than those who said nice things but were actually full of bad intentions.

Mrs. Su asked, "What's the name of this girl?"

"She has a surname of Wu, and she doesn't have a proper name. Everyone calls her Chun Ya."

After sending matchmaker Li away, Mrs. Su was in a bad mood. The marriages of the children in the family were not going well! It was easy to deal with the eldest son, but it was clear that he would not get engaged until the fourth son's marriage was settled. Not to mention the youngest daughter, that damn Zhang Dengke had screwed her over, so the marriage had to be put on hold for the time being and discussed later.

Old Mrs. Su originally thought that since the third son had passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, the family's life would be getting better and better, and his marriage would be smooth.

While Old Mrs. Su was worried, Su Zhihao found Li Chunsheng and said that he wanted to go up the mountain with Li Chunsheng to learn how to hunt.

Li Chunsheng had no intention of rejecting Su Zhihao now, and he didn't even have the courage to ask a scholar why he was interested in this, so he agreed. They agreed to go up the mountain the next day.

The next day, after Li Chunsheng finished his study class, he took Su Zhihao up the mountain.

Li Chunsheng was trying to find a topic to talk about, but Su Zhihao listened very carefully, as he was really interested in this aspect.

At noon, the two of them rested by the stream, and Li Chunsheng went down to catch a few fish. After cleaning the fish, Li Chunsheng sat by the fire and roasted the fish.

Su Zhihao looked at Li Chunsheng who was grilling fish and said casually: "Matchmaker Li came to my house yesterday and introduced a family to my sister-in-law. My grandmother is still considering it."

This sentence made Li Chunsheng's facial expression become obviously unnatural. Li Chunsheng knew that Su Zhihao had not told his family about his thoughts, and he was sure of that. The Su family's attitude towards him had not changed at all, and even his eldest sister had not mentioned it, so it was obvious that they didn't know.

Li Chunsheng was grateful that Su Zhihao hadn't told anyone about this, but at the same time he felt a little disappointed. He couldn't express his feelings, he didn't want others to know, but he also wanted others to know.

Su Zhihao looked at Li Chunsheng, who had an unnatural expression, and continued, "Second Uncle Li, have you ever thought about fighting for it? Not for others, but for yourself."

Li Chunsheng answered silently in his heart: Why haven’t I thought about fighting for it? I also want to fight for it, but I can’t!
