I'm dressed up as the timid eldest daughter, and the whole family has to listen to me!

Aunt Sun nodded with a smile.

"That's right. My son doesn't like any other girls. He's only interested in marrying Su Mo. As his mother, I thought I'd come to you to talk to you about this and see if you can help sound him out."

Aunt Cai recalled the day Su Feng barged into Old Su's house with a wood-chopping knife, and also remembered Su Mo asking her to arrange a marriage for her. She thought that if she could really bring this couple together, she would probably get some benefits.

After thinking for a while, Aunt Cai spoke up:

"Alright, don't worry about it. I'll go talk to the Su family later. I think Su Mo is of marriageable age. I've met your son, and she's the perfect match for him. I'll go find Granny Liu first and sound her out."

Aunt Sun was overjoyed to see that Aunt Cai had agreed so easily.

"Oh dear, Aunt Cai says you're the best matchmaker in the whole area, and I think that's absolutely true. I've heard that you also arranged the marriage for the old Su family's daughter, and they even gave a dowry of over ten taels of silver. I saw it on the day they came to pick her up, and they were quite the grand couple."

When Aunt Cai heard Aunt Sun mention Su Yunhe's marriage, she couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

"Oh, it was all just a coincidence. As the old saying goes, it's like a turtle and a green bean falling in love."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Sun burst into laughter, then grabbed Aunt Cai's arm and said with a troubled expression:

"You've probably heard about our family situation. My husband died young, and it wasn't easy for me to raise Su Feng on my own. Now Su Feng is of marriageable age, but unfortunately, our family doesn't have any resources."

As she spoke, Aunt Sun sighed.

"Everyone in the surrounding villages knows that my son is a good-for-nothing. I won't lie to you, Aunt Cai. My family can only afford one tael of silver as a betrothal gift, nothing more. We don't ask Su Mo to bring much dowry. We just want her to come and live a peaceful life with my son."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Cai knew that Aunt Sun was worried that the large dowry Su Yunhe received at her wedding had inflated the Su family's appetite, and was now subtly hinting at her intentions.

“Aunt Sun, do you think I don’t know your difficulties? You’re a woman who’s been supporting the family all these years, and it’s already quite an achievement that you haven’t abandoned your son and left us.”

As she spoke, Aunt Cai patted Aunt Sun's hand.

"Don't worry, the Su family isn't the kind of family that doesn't know their place. Besides, everyone knows about your son and Su Mo. If Su Mo wanted to marry someone else, no one would dare to marry her, wouldn't they?"

Aunt Sun nodded.

“Don’t let my son’s carefree attitude fool you. He’s a responsible man. Since he’s ruined someone’s daughter’s reputation, we should marry her. That way, no one else can say anything.”

Aunt Cai smiled.

"That's right. I think that kid Su Feng will definitely achieve great things in the future. Su Mo is lucky to be with him now. Don't worry, Su Tao only had two taels of silver as a betrothal gift, didn't she?"

As she spoke, Aunt Cai looked at Aunt Sun and smiled meaningfully.

"Now that your son is with Su Mo, the Su family naturally knows about it. They live in the same village. If you can offer a dowry of one or two taels of silver, they will surely be happy."

After hearing what Aunt Cai said, Aunt Sun felt more at ease, so she stood up and said:

"Alright, Aunt Cai, I'll have to trouble you with this matter. You'll certainly get your share of the benefits once it's done. I won't keep you any longer. I'll be going now. You can go and do your work."

Seeing that Aunt Sun was a well-mannered person, Aunt Cai didn't say anything more and just smiled as she saw her out the door.

Aunt Sun was eager to get home and tell her son the good news, so she quickened her pace.

When they reached the entrance of Sujia Village, they saw Su Mo carrying a package and looking out for somewhere, so they quickly went up to her and called out:

"Hey, Su Mo, wait a minute!"

Little did Aunt Sun know that she was so focused on talking to Su Mo, hoping to warm up to her beforehand, that she didn't notice and slipped, falling flat on her face.

Su Mo turned around and saw her wicked mother-in-law from her past life lying in front of her. She had no urge to help her up and turned to continue walking forward.

Aunt Sun saw that Su Mo was an ill-mannered child, never addressing her elders with a polite greeting.

Now that she herself has fallen, she doesn't even glance at her, turns around and walks away. She can't help but curse her son inwardly for being so blind to have fallen for such an ignorant girl.

So Aunt Sun, unwilling to give up, shouted:

"Su Mo, didn't you see I fell? Couldn't you have come over and helped me up?"

Su Mo snorted coldly and glanced back at Aunt Sun.

"I didn't push you down, why should I help you up?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Sun felt a headache coming on. What kind of heartless girl had her son chosen?

"Su Mo, I went to Aunt Cai's house today to ask her to propose marriage to you, and this is how you treat your future mother-in-law?"

Su Mo's eyes widened in surprise. She quickly walked up to Aunt Sun, grabbed her shoulders, and asked in astonishment:

"What did you say? You're asking Aunt Cai to come to my house to propose marriage?"

Aunt Sun frowned.

"You silly girl, how come you have such a strong grip? I've never been this happy before. Help me up."

Su Mo abruptly released her grip, pointed at Aunt Sun's nose, and cursed:

"Don't even think about marrying your good-for-nothing son. I'd rather die than marry him."

Aunt Sun was stunned for a moment upon seeing this, then said:

"How dare you be so ungrateful! It's your good fortune that my son has taken a liking to you. How dare you speak to me like that? I'm your future mother-in-law!"

As more and more people gathered, Su Mo, furious, spat directly in Aunt Sun's face.

"You're not my mother-in-law, so stop making baseless accusations and ruining my reputation. I, Su Mo, would rather die than step foot in your house!"

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Aunt Sun had never suffered such a loss before. Seeing everyone gathered around to laugh at her, she became furious.

"Who do you think you are? You shameless bastard! You think you're so special? Your reputation is ruined. Only my son doesn't look down on you. Who else can you marry when you leave here!"

Hearing Aunt Sun's insults, Su Mo quickened her pace. She had only said those angry words about marrying Su Feng out of desperation, but now that she had Wei Kezhi as her hope, she could no longer see Su Feng...
