Sister-in-law You lowered her voice, "...Little sister, I really like you, and I won't hide it from you anymore. He's my younger brother. He's been married for ten years and hasn't had any children. Later, his wife couldn't stand it and divorced him. But less than two years later, his wife got pregnant. Now everyone knows that my brother can't have children... My brother is a very honest man, strong, and has some family wealth. He just wants to find a suitable partner and settle down! You have four children, and my brother can't have children, isn't that a perfect match?"

Sister-in-law You said excitedly, "You can even make my brother a son-in-law! I really feel bad seeing my brother all alone in the big house, with no one to care for him. The New Year is coming soon, and he is still so lonely. It breaks my heart to see him like this."

Tian Denghua was stunned.

Her first reaction was naturally to refuse, but she didn't know how to refuse. She smiled awkwardly and then emphasized, "...But I have four children. My eldest son and daughter-in-law have given me grandchildren, a pair of twins."

Sister-in-law You slapped her thigh again: "Is there anything better than this! My brother can't have children, but he can still enjoy being surrounded by his children and grandchildren! Twins! Sister, your family really is a blessed and virtuous one!"

As Sister You spoke, she became more and more agitated, and could no longer sit still. She suddenly stood up and said, "Sister, don't be in such a hurry to refuse. I'll go back and talk to my brother. You two should at least meet first, and then we can talk. Even if it doesn't work out, consider it making friends."

Sister-in-law You was also a very energetic person. After saying that, she picked up the smoked fish that Tian Denghua had given her and hurried back home.

Tian Denghua stared dumbfounded at Sister You's retreating figure, and couldn't help but shake her head.

When Sister-in-law You comes next time, she needs to make it clear to her that she actually has no intention of remarrying.

Living doesn't necessarily mean you have to be with another person to spend your life with.

The life we ​​have now is actually pretty good!

Tian Denghua had no idea that Sister You, who seemed so energetic and decisive, was also very proactive.

They chatted idly in the morning, and in the afternoon, Sister-in-law You brought her brother over.

You Feng is the kind of man who looks very down-to-earth and reliable.

He was very tall, but when he sat properly in the chair, he would clasp his hands on his knees, looking somewhat awkward.

Sister-in-law You invited Tian Denghua to her home as a guest, which served as a simple blind date for the two.

After finishing, Sister You, being a polite and respectable person, greeted Tian Denghua as soon as they entered. Sister You then cheerfully ushered You Feng out, saying, "...I just bought a new rabbit. Go and take care of it. When your brother-in-law comes back tonight, we'll have braised rabbit."

You Feng said "Oh" and obediently went out without any resistance.

Tian Denghua was somewhat surprised: "Your brother can cook?"

Sister-in-law You was a little proud: "That's right. My brother's cooking is pretty good. Don't let his quiet demeanor fool you, he owns a restaurant."

Tian Denghua was somewhat surprised, but that was all.

She expressed her regret to Sister You that she had no intention of remarrying at the moment. Sister You felt a little sorry for her, but she didn't force her. She just sighed and said "What a pity," before pulling Tian Denghua aside to talk about other things.

The two chatted animatedly about everyday gossip.

They talked until it got a little dark.

Sister-in-law You warmly invited Tian Denghua to stay for dinner, but Tian Denghua politely declined with a smile.

After finishing making braised rabbit, You Feng also came out. You Feng's wife and You Feng saw Tian Denghua off at the gate.

Coincidentally, when Zhao Annian came back with Song Yueping after leaving Sister You's house, he saw Tian Denghua coming out of the neighbor's house.

To Zhao Annian's dismay, a man who looked to be in his early thirties also came out to deliver the field lantern flowers!

Zhao Annian's mind was filled with thoughts: Is it because of this man that my third sister doesn't want to talk to me?

But Zhao Annian is no longer the naive young man he once was.

He gave You Feng a sinister look but said nothing.

……

Sister-in-law You returned to the courtyard with You Feng. Sister-in-law You sighed, "Feng, have you taken a fancy to that Miss Tian?"

You Feng remained silent, keeping his head down.

If Sister-in-law You didn't say anything, that was tacit agreement.

Sister-in-law You patted You Feng's arm: "It's a pity, but Madam Tian doesn't want to remarry right now. Oh well, you two are not meant to be."

You Feng pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.

……

Tian Denghua was clearly in a good mood. She hummed an unknown tune and busied herself in the kitchen for a while before bringing out several dishes.

That plate of vibrant green bok choy, stir-fried with pork cracklings and simply drizzled with soy sauce, was incredibly fragrant.

Song Yanyan and Song Yueping both really liked this dish and ate it several times.

Tian Denghua smiled and said, "These green vegetables were sent by our neighbor. They're really fresh."

Zhao Annian felt somewhat frustrated.

He began by saying, "Third Sister."

Tian Denghua's smile faded slightly, and she asked politely, "Second Brother, what's wrong?"

Zhao Annian felt a dull, aching pain in his chest.

Zhao Annian almost poked the bottom of the bowl with his chopsticks.

"N-nothing," Zhao Annian said, silently picking at his food.

Song Yueping didn't think much of it and smiled, "Second Uncle must also think that Mother's dish is delicious."

Tian Denghua smiled and then placed a piece of pork cracklings, which Song Yueping loved, on his plate.

Song Yanyan took a bite of the stir-fried vegetables, then suddenly remembered something and said, "Mom, I heard the aunt next door say she wanted to introduce you to a man this morning?"

"cough!"

Zhao Annian choked hard.

He turned his head away and began to cough violently!

Tian Denghua quickly brought over a bowl of hot water. She wanted to pat Zhao Annian's back to help him burp, and she even raised her hand. But then she remembered that she needed to avoid suspicion, so she lowered her hand and said politely, "Second Brother, take a break and have some more water."

Zhao Annian coughed until his eyes turned red, and it took him a long time to recover.

Tian Denghua then scolded Song Yanyan, "You're just a young girl, don't say such things in the future."

Song Yanyan said "Oh" and didn't say anything more.

Zhao Annian's eyes were red, and he felt that the food that used to taste so delicious had lost its flavor.

After dinner, Song Yueping and Song Yanyan went back to their respective rooms. Zhao Annian blocked Tian Denghua in the courtyard: "Third Sister."

Tian Denghua took a step back, maintaining a proper distance from Zhao Annian: "Second Brother, what's wrong?"

Zhao Annian was almost going crazy.

Blood rushed to Zhao Annian's head.

He blurted out without thinking, "Is it because of that man?"

These words came out of nowhere, and Tian Denghua didn't even have time to react: "What, this man, that man? Second brother, what are you talking about?"

Zhao Annian's eyes were filled with sorrow, but he took a step forward: "I'm asking, Third Sister, have you been avoiding me lately because of that man next door this afternoon?"
