Upon hearing this, Granny Liu snorted coldly.

"What are you saying? Although we've separated our households, Su Hanzhang will always be my son, and Su Mo will always be my granddaughter. No matter what, she has to listen to me!"

As she spoke, Granny Liu patted Aunt Cai's hand.

“Aunt Cai, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you with this matter. You don’t need the second branch’s consent later. Just bring the betrothal gifts to my house and I’ll be able to make the decision. Su Mo’s reputation is already ruined, and no one else will want her. I’m doing this for her own good.”

Hearing this, Aunt Cai felt relieved.

"Okay, I'm relieved to hear that. I'll go tell Aunt Sun the good news now. You go ahead and do your thing."

Just as Aunt Cai stood up, Granny Liu seemed to remember something and grabbed her hand.

“Oh, Aunt Cai, my Yunhe has been married for so long and we haven’t heard from her yet. She doesn’t even come back to visit me and her father. I’m always worried about her. Why don’t you come with me to visit her in-laws when you have some free time?”

Upon hearing this, Aunt Cai's face stiffened, and she quickly pulled her hand away.

"Oh dear, Granny Liu, I told you you just love to worry unnecessarily. Isn't it a good thing that there's no news? It means that your Yunhe is doing well at her in-laws' house. If she wasn't doing well, wouldn't she be running back to her parents' house every other day?"

Granny Liu sighed.

“What you said makes sense. Given Yunhe’s stubborn nature, if the Sun family really treats her badly, she will definitely come back to complain.”

Aunt Cai patted Granny Liu on the shoulder and comforted her:

"I'm telling you, you're overthinking things. No matter what, Yunhe will always be your daughter. How could she forget you and Old Man Su? Just relax. Maybe she's just busy with the Sun family right now. When she has some free time, won't Yunhe come back to see her parents?"

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu sighed.

"Perhaps I'm overthinking it. Our Yunhe is a lucky man, and his life will surely be prosperous."

As Granny Liu was speaking, Aunt Cai had already reached the door.

"Alright, you can go back now. You don't need to worry about Yunhe. If I pass through Sunjia Village later, I'll go in and see her and tell her to come home more often."

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu immediately laughed:

"That would be too much trouble for you, Aunt Cai."

Aunt Cai waved her hand,

"Why are you talking to us with these superstitious things? Alright, come inside. I'm going to Aunt Sun's house. I'll bring her with me to see you tomorrow."

Granny Liu nodded in agreement, and only went inside after Aunt Cai had walked away.

The thought of receiving another tael or two of silver as a betrothal gift soon filled her with joy. This would allow her to save more money for her fourth son's wedding. As she picked up the satchel from the edge of the kang (heated brick bed) and began sewing, she murmured to herself:

"Now that Songchuan is of marriageable age, we'll have to ask Aunt Cai to keep an eye out for him."

Aunt Cai hurried to Su Feng's house after leaving Old Su's house. When she arrived, she happened to run into Su Feng, who was also home.

When Su Feng saw that it was Aunt Cai, he quickly greeted her with a smile and welcomed her into the house.

"Aunt Cai, please come in and sit down. My mother is home."

Aunt Cai looked Su Feng up and down, then smiled and said:

"Good lad, I'm here to tell you some good news. The Su family has agreed. I personally discussed this matter with Granny Liu."

Upon hearing this, Su Feng grinned from ear to ear and hurried downstairs to boil water and make tea.

Seeing this, Aunt Sun quickly pulled Aunt Cai to sit down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).

“Aunt Cai, are you really sure about this? I met with Su Mo a few days ago, and she doesn’t seem very interested in marrying into the family. She also seems like a difficult person to deal with.”

Aunt Cai nodded to Aunt Sun and said:

"Isn't it true? Her grandmother, Granny Liu, said it herself, so how could it be false? It's normal for a young girl to be shy. She can't exactly say that she's eager to marry into your family, can she?"

Aunt Sun frowned and pondered for a moment before speaking:

“But Su Mo seems to be a difficult person to deal with. I’m afraid that I won’t be able to control her after she marries into the family.”

Just then, Su Feng came in from outside carrying a teapot.

“Mother, Su Mo is an excellent girl. I’ve already said I won’t marry anyone but her. The Su family has agreed. What are you worrying about? We can set rules for her after she’s married into the family, right?”

Aunt Sun looked up and glared at Su Feng.

"You good-for-nothing! What business is it of yours if I'm talking to your Aunt Cai? Don't you dare interrupt!"

Upon hearing this, Su Feng immediately smiled and scratched his head.

"Okay, you guys talk, you guys talk, I'm not saying anything more."

Aunt Sun picked up the teapot and poured Aunt Cai a cup of tea, then said:

“Aunt Cai, since you’ve already made up your mind, we won’t think about anything else. My son just likes that girl, so we’ll have to bear the consequences ourselves.”

Aunt Cai quickly took the teacup and placed it back on the table.

"I'm not drinking anymore. I've already drunk a lot of water today, and I really can't drink anymore. Alright, since you've agreed on this, let's bring the betrothal gifts to your house tomorrow to set the date, so that there won't be any changes later."

Before Aunt Sun could speak, Su Feng, who was standing to the side, hurriedly spoke up:

“Okay, Aunt Cai, don’t worry. Tomorrow, we’ll bring the betrothal gifts to your house to set a date. I also want to marry Su Mo as soon as possible.”

Aunt Cai glanced at the impatient Su Feng, then smiled.

"Haha, you're such an impatient kid. Alright, you can go with your mother tomorrow morning."

After saying that, Aunt Cai stood up.

"I've come here today to talk to you about this. See you at Old Su's doorstep tomorrow."

After saying that, he turned and walked outside. Seeing this, Aunt Sun also quickly got up.

"Aunt Cai, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Stay and have a meal before you go!"

Aunt Cai had already reached the door. Seeing that Aunt Sun wasn't genuinely trying to keep her, she waved her hand.

"There will be plenty of opportunities to eat later. I have some things to take care of at home today, so I'll be leaving now!"

After saying that, he left without looking back.

After Aunt Cai left, Su Feng excitedly went out to show off. He was finally going to marry Su Mo, the woman he had been longing for, and this good news had to be known by the whole village.

So Su Feng first sat at the village entrance for a while, chatting with the people around him, and intentionally or unintentionally mentioned his engagement. Then he went to find his group of underlings and told them to call Su Mo "sister-in-law" whenever they saw her.

Then, he hurriedly headed towards the foot of Dwarf Mountain, eager to share the good news with Su Mo as soon as possible.
