Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

"We are related relatives, isn't it better than Xiaolan marrying into another family? This girl is not like a son. If this girl marries into another family, what kind of life will she live in the future? Even if we are anxious, we can't do anything about it. But the relationship between our two families is different. I am the child's eldest aunt, and I will definitely not let the child suffer any loss."

"I'm here, I will make sure you treat Xiaolan like my own daughter. Besides, I've loved Xiaolan since she was a child, and I'm going to make this clear today, as long as Xiaolan marries into my family, I will make sure she is in charge of the household and won't let her suffer any injustice."

Sheng Xuan was stunned as he listened. The children in the family were not close to her aunt, and her aunt never bought anything for the children during festivals. Lanhua was not only indifferent to the children in her family, but also too much to Zhang. Zhang had suffered from her.

Before the family split, he didn't feel anything, because at that time, it was Grandpa Sheng and Cui who had the final say, and he could only be an executor, almost like a robot. Now that the family has split and they are living their own lives, he has started to make decisions on many things. Now when he thinks back on the past, he feels very uncomfortable.

He knew the children in the family best. The children didn't get close to Lanhua because Lanhua had never gotten close to them. As for Xiaojin and Xiaoyin, the brother and sister thought they were the children of the town. At that time, they looked down on Xiaolan, Xiaoting and Xiaowen and naturally disdained to play with them.

Sheng Xuan couldn't help but think of Lanhua's attitude towards the old family. At that time, she was really attentive to the old family. Their family had never received such treatment before. When they returned to the old family, they would bring gifts to the old family and invite Sheng Hong and Xiao Ru from the old family to live in her house. It was good enough that she didn't make trouble for Zhang behind her back. It was almost impossible to expect her to invite her family to live in the town.

Lanhua talked for a long time, and seeing Sheng Xuan was indifferent, she was a little annoyed. She frowned and Sheng Xuan said, "Third brother, what do you mean? You don't think your eldest sister's family is not worthy of your family, right? We should not forget our roots. Don't look down on my family just because you have become rich..."

First she spoke softly to appeal to his emotions, then she spoke hard to intimidate and coerce him. She wanted to coerce Sheng Xuan by using both soft and hard tactics.

Sheng Xuan was really overwhelmed. "Big sister, it's true that we are siblings, and other things can be discussed, but this is the child's marriage... Besides, Xiaolan is still young, still a child, and she hasn't figured it out yet. Her mother and I have already discussed that we want her to live at home for a few more years."

"What's the big deal? We can do the same as Xiaoting and get engaged first." Lanhua said.

"Sister, Xiao Jin must be eighteen this year, which is quite a difference in age between him and Xiao Lan," Sheng Xuan said.

"Now that you're older, you know how to care for others," Lanhua said.

"Sister, you'd better find another marriage for Xiao Jin. He is not suitable for my Xiao Lan. My Xiao Lan will not get engaged in the next two years." Seeing that Lan Hua was not giving up, Sheng Xuan spoke directly.

Lanhua also knew that the probability of her son Xiaojin and Xiaolan getting together was very small. After all, the girl who was most similar in age to her son was Xiaoting, but unfortunately Xiaoting had already been engaged. The reason why she brought up Xiaojin's marriage was just to bring up Xiaoyin's marriage.

"Third brother, I just want our two families to be closer. I have two things in my mind, one is Xiao Jin, the other is Xiao Yin..."

"Sister, you live in town, you will be able to find a suitable partner for Xiaoyin in the next two years. Besides, Xiaoyin is not very old, so there is no need to be too anxious..." Sheng Xuan quickly interrupted what Lanhua was about to say.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Lanhua thought that even if she continued to procrastinate, Shengxuan would probably not agree to this marriage.

She sighed and said, "Old Three, let's go back."

After seeing off the Lanhua family, not long after, the Zhao family of three also said goodbye.

The family returned to the house and counted the gifts they had received today. After registering the gifts one by one, they were sorted and organized.

"Mom, my eldest aunt called my dad over just now. What did she ask? Why is she so mysterious? Did you ask my dad?" Xiao Lan asked Zhang.

"What else can happen? Anyway, your father didn't agree." Zhang said. When sending Lanhua and her family away just now, Zhang whispered Lanhua's intention to Xiaolan, so Xiaolan immediately understood what Zhang said.

"Mom, didn't you just tell her that this matter has died down? Why did she mention it to my dad?" Xiao Lan said.

"She won't give up." Zhang said.

"Mom, you have the final say on our marriages, so why did my eldest aunt go to my dad to talk about it? In most families, if a marriage is rejected, they won't mention it again. How can one party talk to the other party if one party can't make sense?"

"Look at the way my eldest aunt asked my father to speak. My father was so smooth that if you didn't know him, you would think it was my grandma who came back."

Bang! Zhang put the teacup down heavily.

Lanhua, Zhou Shuren, Xiaojin and Xiaoyin were crowded in the oxcart going to the town. The road was bumpy and Yinsuo was uncomfortable with it, so he couldn't help complaining.

The driver was Zhou Shuren. When he heard his daughter's complaints, he smiled apologetically at Xiaoyin and quickly gave the seat cushion to his daughter.

Ever since leaving Xiaolan's house and getting on the ox cart, Lanhua has been in deep thought. After listening to her daughter's complaints, she came back to her senses a little bit. She only heard her say something without any context, "Which cloud will rain? Who can predict it?... This is something I never expected..."

Only now did Zhou Shuren dare to ask, "How is that matter going?"

"No way." Lanhua glanced at Xiao Jin and said to Zhou Shuren, "Today I carefully tasted Xiao Lan. This little girl is not easy to fight. If she really follows our Xiao Jin, I'm afraid our son won't be able to resist."

Zhou Shuren responded. Lanhua had the final say in all matters in his family, and he was a man who followed orders, doing whatever his wife told him to do.

"Mom, why are you looking at me? I'm scared." Xiaoyin asked anxiously when she saw Lanhua was staring at her.

"I'm just thinking about your marriage." Lanhua said.

"Mom, let me be frank with you. When you find a husband for me, please don't look for one in the countryside. I don't want to marry into the countryside. It's too dirty." Xiaoyin turned his head and said solemnly to Lanhua.

"You silly girl, how can you not know what is good for you? There are many kinds of life in the countryside. The landlords and rich people also live in the countryside, and their lives are no worse than those of the rich families in the city." Lanhua scolded.

"Let's not talk about far away places, just talk about your third uncle's house, his big house, the people he associates with... This is just the beginning. From now on, everyone who sees him will have to bow and scrape. He has a house in the capital city. Do you think he will live there?"

"We are not like that. We have to run a grocery store and count our money every day. We have to spend money to buy every grain of rice and every bite of food we eat. Look at your third uncle's house. Everything he eats is the freshest. We can't eat these good things. We can only buy what they have left."

Xiaoyin snorted coldly, but he was still thinking about Xiaolan's family situation.

Lanhua noticed the change in her little girl's expression, but she didn't say anything.
