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

Thinking this way, Sun Da wanted to settle things as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications. So, Sun Da got up, walked to Su Yunhe, took out one tael of silver from his pocket, and handed it to Su Yunhe.

“Yunhe, take this money and buy some clothes. This is my first time visiting your home, and I don’t know what you like. After thinking about it, I thought it would be more convenient to just give you the money. That way, you can buy whatever you like.”

Su Yunhe, who had been hesitant because of the Sun family's good conditions but not their good looks, had her last bit of hesitation disappear when she saw the money.

Su Yunhe really hadn't expected Sun Da to be so generous, giving her an ounce of silver on their first meeting.

At that moment, she desperately wanted to accept the silver, but felt a little embarrassed, so she reached out to push it away. Seeing this, Sun Da took the opportunity to grasp Su Yunhe's hand and placed the silver into her palm.

"Sister Yunhe, this is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it. Don't refuse it, or I'll get angry!"

Seeing that Sun Da was holding her hand tightly, Su Yunhe didn't know what to say. She looked down at the heavy silver in her hand, then looked up at Sun Da with a smile in her eyes and said softly:

"Thank you, Brother Sun."

Seeing this, Aunt Cai clapped her hands happily and cheered.

"Good, good, Granny Liu, look how well these two match! Ah, this good thing is settled!"

Seeing her daughter accept the money, Granny Liu was very happy. She then took Su Yunhe's hand and said to Sun Da and Aunt Cai:

"Oh dear, the food is almost ready. Yunhe and I will go and prepare it. You guys sit down for a while."

As soon as Granny Liu left, Qin, who had been eavesdropping under the window, couldn't stay still any longer. She hadn't expected Aunt Cai to be so capable, managing to find such a good in-law for Su Yunhe.

Not only is the man capable, but more importantly, he can make money. He's already saying he wants Su Yunhe to manage the finances before they've even married into the family.

If Su Tao weren't already of marriageable age, Qin Shi would have preferred to divorce Su Ye and marry Sun Da herself. But Su Ye was never home anyway, so having this man or not made no difference.

Qin Shi hurriedly got up, straightened her clothes, and pulled Su Tao into the house.

"Aunt Cai, you've arrived! Su Tao, quickly call for someone!"

Su Tao smiled shyly.

"Aunt Cai."

Seeing this, Aunt Cai quickly nodded with a smile, and then said to Qin Shi:

“You told me before that you wanted me to find a good family for Su Tao, and I’ve done that. Let’s arrange a time to meet so the two girls can get to know each other.”

Upon hearing this, Qin slapped her thigh and sat down next to Aunt Cai.

"Aunt Cai, I really didn't expect you to be so quick to act. The family you've arranged for Su Tao, what's their financial situation like?"

Aunt Cai's face stiffened slightly when Qin asked such a direct question, but she then smiled and said:

"That family is quite good. There are two brothers in the family. The elder brother is already married. This time, the one they are introducing to Su Tao is their second son. This second son is very capable. He is never home and works in the county town."

Upon hearing that he was never home, Qin frowned. She had found a man who was never home, and no one was there to support her; she, as a woman, had to take the lead in everything.

Now that my daughter has found a man who's never home, how am I supposed to live like this?

Thinking of this, Qin quickly poured Aunt Cai a cup of tea.

“Aunt Cai, you know, if a couple is never together, they definitely can’t work out. Over time, they’ll inevitably develop resentment towards each other. You think it’s no good for a person to be away from home all the time?”

Upon hearing this, Aunt Cai patted Qin's hand and comforted her:

"You don't need to worry about that. If the two of them really like each other, then after they get married, Su Tao can also live in the county town. Wouldn't that solve the problem?"

Su Tao, who was sitting to the side, was overjoyed to hear that she would be able to live in the county town in the future. Forgetting her shyness, she looked directly at Aunt Cai and asked:

"When can we meet?"

Aunt Cai smiled upon seeing this:

"Look at how impatient this child is. After I finish dealing with your aunt's matter, I'll go to that family and set a date. After all, their second son works in the county town, so it depends on when they're available."

Su Tao smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Alright, then I'll wait for news at home."

Madam Qin was somewhat displeased with her daughter's lack of self-restraint, so she glared at Su Tao.

"Why are you interrupting when your elders are speaking? Go and help your grandma serve her food!"

Seeing this, Su Tao had no choice but to get up and say goodbye to Aunt Cai before leaving.

Madam Qin glanced up at Sun Da, who was sitting and drinking tea. She noticed that he, like her husband, had a full beard. Just that one glance...

Qin felt her eyes well up with tears. Seeing that everyone in the Su family was in pairs, and that the third wife was pregnant, she really missed her own husband.

Inside, Qin sat talking to Aunt Cai, while outside, Granny Liu was talking to her daughter.

“Yunhe, the family that Aunt Cai found for you seems pretty good to me. You’re already this age, you can’t always be picky about looks. Being good-looking is useless, the key is that the family has to be wealthy enough to support you.”

Su Yunhe naturally knew that at her age, and with her reputation in the surrounding area already bad, if she continued to be picky, Aunt Cai probably wouldn't help her find a match, and she would probably have to stay at home forever.

Moreover, although Sun Da was a bit sleazy in appearance, he was willing to spend money on her. No man had ever been willing to give her a tael of silver on the first meeting.

Thinking this, Su Yunhe smiled and said:

“Mother, I understand what you mean. I think this Sun Da is quite good, otherwise I wouldn’t have accepted his money so rashly.”

Seeing how obedient her daughter was, Granny Liu was very pleased. Speaking of money, she quickly stretched out her hand towards Su Yunhe and said:

"Take out the money, and I'll keep it for you. It will be your dowry when you get married. I'm sure the Sun family is so wealthy, so the betrothal gifts must be substantial. If your dowry is too small, your in-laws might look down on you!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yunhe reluctantly took out the silver that she hadn't even warmed yet and handed it to Granny Liu.

Granny Liu took the silver and weighed it in her hand. It was indeed one tael of silver. So she carefully went into the house and put it away. After all, she would save this money for her fourth son's wedding in the future.
