Upon hearing Wang Guihua's words, Aunt Cai gripped her teacup tighter and glanced at Su Shiyan standing beside Wang Guihua.

"Oh, sister, your son is tall, strong, and good-looking. Are you really worried that he won't be able to find a wife?"

As she spoke, Aunt Cai smiled and took a sip of tea.

"Now that marriage is a matter of fate, no one can say for sure. Regardless of who comes first, now that Su Mo has found a good match, you, as her mother, certainly can't let your daughter suffer, can you?"

Wang Guihua picked up the teapot and poured Aunt Cai another cup of tea.

"No, these rules still need to be followed. The other day, Su Mo told me that she wasn't in a hurry to get married and wanted to stay home with me for a few more years."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Cai's face stiffened, and she put down her teacup, her expression darkening.

"Young lady, please at least let me tell you about the man's situation."

Wang Guihua smiled upon hearing this.

"Then Aunt Cai, you tell me, I'm listening."

Seeing that Wang Guihua had finally given her a chance to speak, Aunt Cai straightened her clothes, sat up straight, and began to speak:

"That's right. Whether it works out or not, it can't hurt to listen first."

As she spoke, Aunt Cai pulled up her chair and moved closer to Wang Guihua, saying:

“You know this person too. You’re from the same village. If Su Mo marries into his family, she’ll definitely be blessed. It’s close to her parents’ home, so she can go home whenever she wants. During the busy farming season, she can even bring her son-in-law to help out at your house.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Guihua smiled faintly.

"Aunt Cai, stop playing coy with me. Just tell me who this person is."

Aunt Cai smiled too.

"Just a few days ago, Aunt Sun came to my house and asked me to help her matchmake her son and your daughter. I think Su Feng and Su Mo are a perfect match."

When Wang Guihua saw that Aunt Cai was indeed there to arrange a marriage for Su Feng, her face immediately turned cold.

“Aunt Cai, if it were someone else proposing marriage, I might consider it. But I’ve watched Su Feng grow up since he was a child. Everyone in the surrounding villages knows he has a bad reputation. If I were to arrange this marriage for my daughter, wouldn’t that be pushing him into a fire pit?”

Upon hearing this, Aunt Cai quickly smiled and patted Wang Guihua's arm.

"How can you say that, sister? Our daughter will definitely enjoy a good life after marrying into that family. I can tell that Su Feng cares a lot about your daughter. Didn't he cause a scene in your yard last time? But it was all a misunderstanding. It just goes to show that Su Feng really cares about your daughter."

Wang Guihua lowered her head, straightened her cuffs, and gave a faint smile.

“My daughter doesn’t need someone like him to worry about her. Aunt Cai, if you’re trying to find a husband for Su Feng, then please don’t ask. I would never marry my daughter off to him. We all live in the same village, we all know each other.”

Aunt Cai was surprised that Wang Guihua, who usually seemed quiet and reserved, was so quick to refuse. With so many children in her family still unmarried, she didn't seem afraid of offending her at all. She must be someone who doesn't know how to handle things.

Thinking this through, Aunt Cai didn't say anything more and simply stood up and smiled:

"Let's not talk about this for now. I haven't seen your mother-in-law for quite some time, and I miss her. I'll go see her."

Wang Guihua also stood up and smiled:

"My mother-in-law is probably still hiding inside. Aunt Cai, why don't you go and check on her?"

After leaving the second room, Aunt Cai went to knock on Granny Liu's door.

"Grandma Liu, are you inside?"

Granny Liu was helping Su Songchuan sew a new schoolbag on the kang (a heated brick bed), when she heard Aunt Cai's voice. She quickly jumped off the kang to open the door. Since her daughter's wedding, she hadn't heard from her at all, and she was very worried.

Although it's said that a married daughter is like water spilled from a cup, Su Yunhe is still her own precious child, someone she raised with great care. How could she not miss her at all?

She was thinking that once Su Tao got married and the family matters were settled, she would ask Aunt Cai to go with her to visit her daughter. She was uneasy because she couldn't find her daughter and hadn't heard from her.

As soon as Granny Liu opened the door, she saw Aunt Cai standing there with a beaming smile.

"Aunt Cai, what brings you here? Come in and sit down for a while."

Aunt Cai was pulled into the house and sat down by Granny Liu.

"Oh, I was just thinking that Su Tao's wedding day is coming up soon, so I came to see if there was anything I could do to help. I also missed you, so I came to see you."

Granny Liu quickly took out some dried fruit and handed it to Aunt Cai.

"Oh dear, we'll have to trouble you with all our family matters, and you're still thinking about Su Tao's marriage."

Aunt Cai grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and started cracking them open.

"Su Tao is a well-behaved and sensible girl. I feel an instant connection with her. How could I not care about her marriage?"

As she spoke, Aunt Cai nudged Granny Liu with her elbow.

"Oh, by the way, has Su Mo from the second wife been engaged yet?"

Granny Liu frowned.

"Why bring up that unfortunate girl? After what Su Feng caused, who would want to propose marriage now?"

Aunt Cai's eyes darted around, and she smiled:

"Look, I really came here today. Just a few days ago, Aunt Sun came to my house and asked me to arrange a marriage for her son at your house."

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu's eyes lit up.

"You mean Su Feng has a crush on Su Mo?"

Aunt Cai smiled and patted Granny Liu's arm.

"That's right. I think that boy really likes Su Mo, so I thought I'd come over today and talk to you about it. But since everyone knows about the two of them, it's not easy to find someone else. So why not just let them be together?"

After hearing this, Granny Liu thought for a moment,

"How much dowry do you think Su Feng's family can offer?"

Aunt Cai smiled.

“Aunt Sun is a very honest person. She told me the truth. She can offer a dowry of one or two taels of silver. Although it’s not right, she only wants the young couple to live a good life together. She doesn’t care whether the woman has a dowry or not.”

Seeing that Granny Liu was frowning, Aunt Cai quickly leaned closer and said:

"As the grandmother, you have to make decisions for the younger generation when it matters. If you can make decisions, the dowry money can just be kept in your hands."

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu's eyes lit up, and she slammed her hand on the table.

"Alright, I'll make the decision. Besides, these two have been hooking up for a while now, so this is kind of giving them what they want."

Seeing that the matter had been settled, Aunt Cai smiled and said:

"Should we inform the second branch of the family about this? After all, they have now separated from you..."
