"It's all because of you, useless old thing. You made me suffer like this." Cui was so angry that she directed her anger at Mr. Sheng.

Old Master Sheng cursed back angrily, "You brought this upon yourself. You don't want to live a peaceful life, you don't listen to human words, and you just keep doing whatever you want. When you've lost your reputation and people have run away, and you're the only one left, then you'll be happy." As he spoke, Old Master Sheng put on his shoes, got off the kang, and walked out.

Sheng Nuo, Sheng Kai and others followed the old man out, and everyone dispersed. Only Cui was left alone in the room. After a moment's pause, Cui started to cry again.

Mr. Sheng left the house and worked in the vegetable garden at the back for a while. When he felt better, he came back. He walked around the yard and when the house was quiet, he went back inside.

Cui had stopped crying at this time. Her eyes were red and swollen. She sat on the kang in a daze. When she saw the old man coming back, she said nothing.

The old man sighed and sat on the kang. "From now on, let's be quiet. We are old and just need to have food and drink."

Cui didn't say anything, but just wiped her eyes with her hand, and then became dazed again. Mr. Sheng sighed and also became dazed.

After that, the old house actually became quiet. Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Cui's illnesses were cured and it was no longer too late to take medicine. The neighbors hadn't heard Mrs. Cui swearing for several days. Some of the neighbors were even a little uncomfortable and found an excuse to visit them. Only when they saw that the old couple were fine did they give up.

As Xiaoyan's wedding date approached, the two sisters also discussed it. "If my family was still the same as before, I would have no choice. Now my family has the conditions, and Xiaowen is supporting the family. When I grow up, I want to travel around and see the world..." Xiaolan envied Xiaowen's going to Beijing to join Mr. Huang, and he also followed Mr. Huang to take up his post, so Xiaolan had this idea.

Xiaolan's words were honest, and Xiaoyan was also happy to hear them. "Your idea is not bad, but you are not going to get married?" Xiaoyan asked with a smile.

The two sisters were talking in private, so naturally they had no scruples. Xiao Lan originally wanted to say that if she didn't want to get married, then she wouldn't get married, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back. Because although such words were free and easy, they were too hypocritical and irresponsible. Whether this girl, who was brought up by her grandmother, got married or not was not something she could decide on her own. "That... after all, it will be a matter of a few years later. In the next few years, it's still my own..." Xiao Lan said.

"Xiao Lan, you have never thought about this, right?" Xiao Yan asked.

"Well, I haven't thought about it. I'll talk about it when the time comes." Xiao Lan answered easily. Because marriage is nothing to worry about for her. She will definitely have a very generous dowry in the future. Her family will definitely ask for her opinion on her marriage. Besides, her family will not use her marriage to curry favor with anyone. Besides, she has a very promising and good brother. She should marry into a wealthy and honest family. The family should not be too high. She should be able to deal with the people in her husband's family. She doesn't need to please anyone in her life and should be able to live a stable life.
