After handing the silver to Granny Liu, Su Yunhe went straight into the main room. Seeing Qin Shi and Aunt Cai chatting happily, she quietly sat down next to Sun Da. Sun Da, who had been waiting bored, brightened up when he saw Su Yunhe return and said excitedly:

"Yunhe, that's great! Today I can finally try your cooking."

Upon hearing this, Su Yunhe awkwardly touched the hair behind her ear and smiled at Sun.

"Brother Sun, to be honest, my cooking skills are just so-so, but I'm willing to practice cooking more for you."

Upon hearing Su Yunhe's words, Sun Da's heart softened, and he happily said:

"Okay, Yunhe, I knew at first sight that you were the one I was looking for. If you come with me, I will definitely make sure you live a life that others can only envy."

Hearing this, Su Yunhe was even happier, so she lowered her head and smiled.

As they were talking, Su Tao and Su Mo rushed to put food on the table. Su Mo had hoped that since Aunt Cai was coming to the Su family today, she could make an impression on Aunt Cai and leave a good impression.

In this way, if she were to meet a suitable family in the future, Aunt Cai could help introduce her to someone.

But just now, Su Tao went to the kitchen and told me that Aunt Cai had found Su Tao a good marriage, and after Su Tao got married, she could live in the county town.

Su Mo felt extremely jealous. She had cleaned the yard and the outhouse herself, and she had even cooked today's meal. How could Su Tao have gotten there first?

So, both of them were putting in their best effort to make a good impression on Aunt Cai.

Aunt Cai smiled when she saw the two of them vying to do the work.

"Grandma Liu, you've raised your granddaughter so well. She's always eager to do the chores around the house. Oh, where's Su Banxia, ​​the eldest daughter of the second wife?"

Su Mo frowned upon hearing this. She had been busy for two whole days, and Aunt Cai not only didn't praise her separately, but now she had to bring up Su Banxia, ​​who hadn't done anything.

Thinking this, Su Mo said in an annoyed tone:

“Su Banxia is lazy and doesn’t help with any of the housework. I’ve been taking care of everything myself.”

Aunt Cai asked, rather strangely, after hearing this:

"But this morning I saw her carrying a hoe and going to the fields with the second wife's family."

Su Mo's face stiffened, then she explained:

“She doesn’t actually work in the fields; she just pretends. Aunt Cai, didn’t you see how delicate and fair her face is? She doesn’t look like someone who works in the fields all day.”

Aunt Cai noticed as soon as she entered that among the Su family's several unmarried daughters, Su Banxia was the most beautiful and attractive, with a very well-proportioned and healthy figure. She also knew how to help with farm work.

He then had the idea of ​​helping Su Banxia find a husband, but now that Su Mo had said that, he secretly felt sorry for her. Such a beautiful girl, it was a pity that she was lazy and good-for-nothing.

Seeing that Aunt Cai's expression changed, Su Mo knew that Aunt Cai must not have a good impression of Su Banxia, ​​so she said:

"Aunt Cai, please try these green bean buns. I made them this morning, and they're still warm."

Aunt Cai saw that the buns on the table were indeed beautifully wrapped, so she picked one up, took a bite, and...

"Mmm, delicious! The flavor is so fresh, is it made with this year's fresh green beans?"

Su Mo smiled and nodded.

While eating, Aunt Cai said to Granny Liu:

"I really didn't realize that Su Mo's cooking skills were so good. She can also do all the housework. She's truly a good girl."

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu's face stiffened, but she didn't say anything; she just smiled at Aunt Cai.

Then, Granny Liu glared at Su Mo, signaling her to leave quickly and not get in the way.

But today was an opportunity that Su Mo had been waiting for, so she wasn't going to let it go so easily. So she pretended not to see Liu Pozi's look and squeezed past Qin Shi to sit next to Cai Shenzi.

Su Mo picked up her chopsticks and placed a piece of chicken on Aunt Cai's plate, smiling as she said:

“Aunt Cai, please eat more if you like it. I’m not a little girl anymore. You don’t know, do you? I’m eighteen this year. My mother said yesterday that I’m at the age where I should be getting married.”

Upon hearing this, Aunt Cai turned and carefully examined Su Mo. Although Su Mo's appearance was not as good as Su Banxia's, she was still considered to be of superior appearance in a crowd. In addition, she was good at cooking and cleaning, so she would not have to worry about finding a good husband.

So Aunt Cai nodded.

“Your mother is right. Eighteen is a good age. It’s time to find you a marriage partner. If your mother trusts me, tell her that I will keep an eye out for your marriage prospects.”

Hearing this, Su Mo smiled happily and took another steamed bun for Aunt Cai.

"Aunt Cai, what are you saying? You've already arranged a marriage for my aunt, so my mother naturally trusts you. I'll tell her the good news later!"

Aunt Cai found that Su Mo was eloquent, capable, and clever, and also quite good-looking. The more she looked at her, the happier she became. She made a mental note of her and planned to visit her in the next few days to find her a good husband.

Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Su Mo didn't linger at the table and quickly stood up to say to Aunt Cai:

"Aunt Cai, please eat slowly. I still have some porridge cooking on the stove, and I need to go watch the fire."

Aunt Cai nodded repeatedly upon seeing this.

"What a diligent girl, hurry up and go."

After Su Mo left, Su Tao shamelessly sat down next to Aunt Cai and asked her about the family she was supposed to introduce to her.

As for Granny Liu, she and Su Yunhe were determined to take good care of Sun Da; they certainly didn't want this eligible bachelor to slip away.

While eating the food Su Yunhe served him, Sun Da made grand promises to Su Yunhe and occasionally took the opportunity to touch Su Yunhe's little hand.

The situation in Sun Da's family is indeed true, but what Sun Da didn't tell Su Yunhe is that he was a widow and had three young boys to take care of.

He spent a lot of money to have Aunt Cai act as a matchmaker, hoping to get a wife as soon as possible.

That way, he wouldn't have to go to brothels all the time, and he could keep someone at home to take care of the children and help him with chores. In fact, Sun Da's previous wife was worked to death.

Now that Sun Da and Aunt Cai had agreed to keep this a secret, they used money to sway Su Yunhe at their first meeting, making the Su family so blinded by the money that they had no interest in asking any other questions.

This trick was based on Sun Da's experience from visiting brothels so many times. The women in those brothels would treat you like royalty as long as they saw money; they didn't care whether you were a butcher or a peasant.

To Sun's great surprise, this trick actually worked quite well on Su Yunhe and Granny Liu as well.
