Seeing that her younger brother was depressed, Yu Wanran comforted him after leaving the escort agency.

"You'll have more opportunities to travel far in the future. This time, you stay home and take good care of Mom. Next time I go to Beijing to deliver goods, I'll talk to Mom and Dad and ask them to take you with me."

How could Yu's father feel at ease letting his youngest son travel far away if he himself didn't go himself?

Yu Wenrong chuckled dryly twice.

"Third Sister, are you so sure there's a chance to deliver the goods to the capital? What if they don't want that red velvet grass?"

I always felt that my third sister was even better at bragging than him.

But the family was captivated by the rosy future described by the third sister and didn't think it through. He was different; although he outwardly agreed, he still had doubts in his heart.

Yu Wanran didn't say much, but gently patted his shoulder: "It's good that you can maintain this level of vigilance!"

In fact, if she hadn't been reborn with the extensive trading experience from her previous life, she wouldn't have dared to take such a reckless risk. She had to thank her family for their unconditional trust and understanding.

As Yu Wenrong passed by a restaurant, the aroma of the dishes wafting out made his mouth water. He had just had a bowl of porridge for breakfast.

Yu Wanran smiled and pulled her younger brother to continue walking forward: "When we make a lot of money, your third sister will take you out to eat often."

Then he bought ten large meat buns, gave two to Yu Wenrong, and ate one himself. Yu Wenrong felt that with the family's current financial situation, eating a bun occasionally wasn't a waste of money, so he took the bun and happily ate it.

The siblings walked, ate, chatted, and laughed, completely unaware that several wealthy young men were having a gathering upstairs in the restaurant. Wei Baifeng, the center of attention, held a glass of wine in his hand, his gaze fixed intently on their retreating figures.

Even though Yu Wanran was dressed in plain clothes and wearing a straw hat, he was very familiar with her appearance!

But she didn't know who the strange man walking beside her was.

With a youthful face and dressed like a typical rural villager, they must be her real family, right?

As the two walked further and further away, they soon disappeared into the bustling crowd. Wei Baifeng stared blankly, his expression filled with confusion.

Yu Wanran was unaware of this little incident. Even if she had known, it wouldn't have stirred any emotion within her.

Who hasn't been young and impetuous at some point?

In the prime of youth, we mistake obsession for deep affection; we regard the recklessness of a moth drawn to a flame as faithful love.

In both her lifetimes, Wei Baifeng was merely an insignificant fallen leaf drifting by on her life's journey. The two brushed past each other, their connection only fleeting and brief.

When they arrived home, Yu Wenbin and Zhu Xiaozhen were already back. The couple, beaming with joy, were sorting through two large baskets full of red grass, preparing to weave straw mats.

Ji Chunhua started a fire in the kitchen to cook.

Although her hands and feet are not very dexterous due to her disability, compared to Liu Yan next door who can only lie down and needs to be taken care of in her daily life, she can at least take care of herself and do some simple housework.

Yu Xiaoxiang is like a little adult. She's been eating well and sleeping well lately, and she's always getting her grandma on her toes. She's full of energy.

Yu Wanran took out the frozen buns and handed them to Ji Chunhua.

Ji Chunhua complained, "You made a meal and then bought steamed buns!"

However, he had a smile on his face.

Having money in hand brings peace of mind. The Yu family can easily afford a few steamed buns these days.

Yu Wanran squatted in the courtyard watching her brother and sister-in-law weave straw mats. They worked quickly, one straightening the mat while the other wove it, their movements swift and efficient. It seemed they could finish one mat in two days, just in time to depart for the capital.

Someone and Yu's father stepped into the courtyard one after the other.

Yu Man, his face flushed, hadn't even had a chance to report the land purchase to his family when a sturdy middle-aged woman with a red flower in her hair swayed as she entered.

She was waving a large handkerchief in her hand, and her voice was high-pitched and thin.

"Oh, Mr. Yu, you have some good news! Congratulations!"

Everyone put down what they were doing and looked at each other's faces.

Ji Chunhua took one look and realized that this was none other than Wang, the matchmaker from the next village, whom she had been longing to meet! It was just like her wish had come true, delivered right to her doorstep!

She quickly asked her family to bring out stools, serve sweet soup, and invite them to sit down.

"Matchmaker Wang, what brings you this joy?"

Matchmaker Wang always started her matchmaking with this line, and no one took it seriously. Ji Chunhua just wanted to hear which family Matchmaker Wang was talking about. If she wasn't satisfied, she would refuse, and it was only proper to ask Matchmaker Wang to find other partners for her two children.

Yu Wenrong blushed slightly, while Yu Wanran watched coldly. They knew they should avoid their parents talking to the matchmaker, but neither of them wanted to leave and insisted on listening.

When Wang the matchmaker got thirsty, she disliked the Yu family's bowl for being so rustic, but after taking a sip, she discovered that it contained brown sugar. Her eyes lit up, and she gulped it down in one go.

After finishing his drink, he dabbed his lips with a handkerchief before getting to the point.

"Congratulations, Mr. Yu! There's a well-off family in Bailiu Village who have taken a liking to your daughter and want me to act as matchmaker for you."

She looked at Yu Wanran standing in front of her and praised her repeatedly.

"As expected of a child raised in the Duke's mansion, look at her bearing... No wonder Old Madam Tao, who is usually so arrogant, took a liking to your daughter at first sight?"

The Yu family all turned their attention to Yu Wanran, who looked disgusted and displeased.

But Ji Chunhua was interested and, disregarding her daughter's expression, hurriedly asked the matchmaker, "I wonder what kind of family this is, and whether they are a good match for our daughter?"

Although she cares about her daughter's marriage prospects, she absolutely does not want to marry her off to someone below her station. As for her daughter seeming unhappy, she understands it's because the child is immature.

Men should marry when they reach a certain age, and women should marry when they reach a certain age. Staying in one's parents' home and becoming an older single woman not only means paying heavy taxes, but also being drowned in gossip and slander.

She felt guilty towards her daughter, so naturally she had to help her find a good family to marry into. Otherwise, what kind of mother would she be!

"She's a perfect match! How could she not be? Your daughter has been raised in the Duke's mansion for sixteen years; she's literate. She has both beauty and a good figure..."

Matchmaker Wang gave Yu Wanran a cryptic look, a wide smile on her face.

"She looks like she'll have a lot of children! Even if that old lady Tao's family has some assets, your daughter is still a good match for his strong young man!"

She fully expected that after she got to this point, Yu Wanran would be embarrassed like any other girl, perhaps even letting out a soft moan and running back into the house.

As a result, when she met Yu Wanran's two cold eyes, which looked like she was about to kill someone, her heart skipped a beat!

Ji Chunhua was also dissatisfied.

She clearly asked if the young man was a good match for her daughter. But the matchmaker, with her sharp tongue, twisted the question and said it was her daughter who was a good match for him.

What do you mean?

Could it be that her daughter is marrying up? But there's only one matchmaker in the surrounding villages, unless you're willing to go to the city and spend a lot of money to find an official matchmaker.

Even if you're unhappy, you can't openly offend the other party. Otherwise, if the matchmaker Wang spreads rumors, not only will your daughter's reputation be ruined, but it will also be even more difficult for her to find a good match in the future.

So she forced a smile.

"Matchmaker Wang, tell us about the other family's situation first. We need to find out more before we can make a decision."
