The whole family traveled through time and became doctors, raised children and farmed in ancient tim

Xie Wanxing listened to Cheng Fei's words with a look of disapproval on his face, but still lowered his voice and said anxiously: "Hey, what's wrong with that? Besides, you are not an outsider at all. You are my cousin. You have been in our family for so long, you have already become one of our family members."

As she spoke, she gently shook Cheng Fei's arm: "Besides, I'm just curious. I want to know what kind of husband my aunt and the others will find for my eldest sister. Just accompany me and listen."

Cheng Fei was still a little hesitant. He sighed softly and said, "Even if I can barely be considered half a family member, this is still someone else's private matter. If it's discovered, you'll be in trouble."

Xie Wanxing blinked and said, "Don't worry, we just need to be careful and we won't be discovered. Besides, the place where my aunt and the others are discussing things is quite far from here. As long as we go there quietly and find a secluded place to hide, we can be sure that we can hear everything clearly and we won't be discovered. Please." She clasped her hands together and made a pleading look.

Cheng Fei thought for a moment, but he couldn't resist Xie Wanxing's soft and hard persuasion and said, "Okay then."

Seeing that Cheng Fei agreed, Xie Wanxing immediately smiled. She nodded quickly and said, "Okay, okay, don't worry, we won't be discovered. Let's go!" After that, she crouched down and walked towards the front yard quietly. Cheng Fei shook his head helplessly and had to follow her.

Qian and Cheng Hui were talking quietly in the front yard dining room, their voices faintly emanating from inside. Xie Wanxing looked excited and nervous, clutching Cheng Fei's sleeve tightly and walking lightly.

The two of them quietly came to the dining room window. Xie Wanxing first cautiously looked around and confirmed that there was nothing unusual. Then she turned sideways and hid herself in the shadow under the window. She turned her head to look at Cheng Fei, her eyes sparkling, and said in a very low voice, "This is it. I can hear it clearly from here."

Cheng Fei shook his head helplessly. He felt that this was a bit inappropriate since it was eavesdropping after all, but he couldn't resist Xie Wanxing's curiosity, so he had to bite the bullet and stay here with her.

The voices of Qian and Cheng Hui in the dining room came into their ears through the gap in the window.

Qian said, "Rou'er's father and I have discussed this marriage and we think it's a good one. We're planning on finalizing it, and I figured I'd let you know."

Cheng Hui asked, "What does Rou'er think? From what I saw earlier, she seemed unwilling to get married."

"I know Rou'er has her own ideas, but it's not right for a girl not to get married. Seeing that she's getting older day by day, she really can't put it off any longer. This marriage with the Yao family is indeed a rare and good one. The eldest son of the Yao family is not only handsome, but also a scholar. If he has a promising future, Rou'er won't have to make a living in the fields. Songbai and I also hope that Rou'er can live a stable and comfortable life in the future."

"So she agreed?"

"Mother had advised her before, and she agreed. You know Rou'er is a very sensible child. Once she understands, she won't be stubborn anymore. The matchmaker will come to our house again in a couple of days, and I plan to give her the OK."

"That's great." Cheng Hui smiled and nodded. "Rou'er is the first child in our family to get married."

"Yes, but there is something I need to discuss with you, my fourth sister-in-law."

"Sister-in-law, please tell me if there's anything Songlin and I can do to help. We'll do our best."

"Rou'er told me that she hopes to help out in the shop after we get married. She doesn't want to stay home all day after marrying into the Yao family." Qian paused before continuing, "I haven't informed the Yao family about this yet."

"Of course there's no problem with that. It's our own shop, so if Rou'er wants to stay, she can." Cheng Hui agreed without hesitation. But seeing that Qian was still a little bit reluctant, she speculated, "Could it be that the Yao family doesn't want to?"

"Although she didn't say it explicitly, Yao Dalang's mother hopes that after Rou'er gets married, she can focus on taking care of the housework at home and go out less."

Xie Wanxing, who was eavesdropping outside, couldn't help but grumble to Cheng Fei in a low voice after hearing Qian's words: "Isn't this called being frank? Why should my elder sister stay home after getting married? Can't women have careers?"

Cheng Fei glanced at her sideways, rather surprised by what she said, but he agreed: "You are quite right."

After hearing what Qian said, Cheng Lihui frowned slightly in the dining room. After thinking for a moment, she asked softly, "Sister-in-law, what do you mean?"

"I mean, we should naturally consider Rou'er's wishes, but we can't avoid the Yao family marriage." Qian hesitated for a moment before saying, "I was thinking, Songlin has given us 20% of the shop's profits, can we use 10% as Rou'er's dowry and let her take it to the Yao family? If she wants to continue helping out at the shop later, she'll have an explanation."

"I agree, and I don't think Songlin would object." Cheng Hui smiled. "Sister-in-law is doing this for Rou'er, she will definitely understand your heart."

"I hope so. I just hope that everything goes smoothly for her and that she doesn't feel aggrieved because of these things. The world is always a little harsh on women, so I just want to do as much as I can for her." Seeing Cheng Hui agree so reasonably, Qian felt relieved, and a smile appeared on her face.

In this era, most families tend to prioritize their sons when it comes to matters concerning their children, and their daughters' wishes and needs are often neglected or even ignored. Qian is indeed a good mother. She values Xie Rou's ideas so much that she is willing to use the profits from the shop to prepare a dowry for her, just to find a reason for her to continue to participate in the shop's affairs after marriage. This thought is really profound.

"I understand what my sister-in-law is thinking. As mothers, we naturally have to think about our children." Although she has several children now, Cheng Hui only raised one daughter, Xie Wanxing, in modern times. Naturally, she has a deeper understanding of Qian's words.

"Thank you very much, sister-in-law. I'm sorry to bother you today." Qian felt a little embarrassed, but now she didn't have to take care of everything in the shop.

Cheng Hui quickly waved her hand and said with a smile, "What are you talking about, sister-in-law? There's no such thing as disturbing or not disturbing me. Although we've separated, we're still a family after all. Besides, I know Rou'er is a good child. I naturally hope that she can find a good home and live a happy life."

After hearing Cheng Hui's heartwarming words, Qian Shi felt even more relieved. "Then when the Yao family comes to propose marriage, can you please invite Fourth Brother's wife to our house and explain the matter to the Yao family?"

Cheng Hui nodded without hesitation and responded readily, "Of course, sister-in-law, don't worry, I will go. Just come and call me."
