The granddaughter was originally separated by a generation and wasn't close, nor did she get along with her. Old Lady Xia only listened to her husband's complaints with one ear, not uttering a single word in response.

  The little black fish wrote a few words and then looked up to express his opinion. "In May, it's lazy, Dad, don't make wax anymore."

  Mr. Xia grumbled and ignored his youngest son. Mrs. Xia gave her youngest son a warning look, telling him to stop talking nonsense. Xiao Hei Yu pursed his lips and winked at Xia Zhi. Xia Zhi smiled, feeling a little sentimental that people nowadays get married too early.

  June is a 15-year-old daughter-in-law. In the countryside, it's not late, but also not the earliest. Some girls get married at 14 years old. May is 14 this year, so everyone thinks about starting to arrange her marriage.

  Because of May, Xia Zhi couldn't help but think of herself again. She had some resistance in her heart and didn't want to think about it. On the one hand, she wasn't quite able to accept getting married so early, on the other hand, she was also worried about the Tian family. Would her marriage be a great opportunity for the Tian family to make money from her natal family, the old Tian family?

  But she also knew that she must pass this level. Fortunately, she was only twelve years old and had at least two more years to go. Who could say what would happen in two years? Anything is possible as long as she is willing to work hard.

  East Wing

  Xia Yunman, Luo Shi, May and July were in the house, either standing or sitting. Except for July, everyone else looked unhappy.

  It is said that Old Man Xia has taken a liking to someone for himself, and in May he was anxious and angry, and began to cry. She firmly disagreed with the marriage proposed by Old Man Xia, and didn't even want to ask about the other party's situation, let alone meet them.

  Even if it was Old Man Xia who brought it up, in order to truly settle the engagement, these two steps still cannot be skipped. In June, Summer Cloud and Luo's family were still listening to Old Man Xia's words, but they had also met each other and asked around about each other themselves.

  "What kind of eyesight does my grandfather have! The people he favors are all what kind of people! If you want to talk about it, that family's poverty is not a big deal, as long as they can establish some connection with him. He only thinks about his old buddies, and would be happy to give his granddaughter away to them as a servant!" Wu Yue said in a low voice, not daring to speak loudly for fear of being overheard outside.

  Xia Yun remained silent.

  Luoshi agreed with his daughter's words.

  "He's that kind of person. As long as he can get a son-in-law, it's all good! He was afraid my daughter wouldn't be able to marry out, so as long as the other party is a young man, it's fine, even if he's crippled or blind. It was in June back then. June was only 13, and the matchmaker hadn't even had time to come to our door yet, but he hastily settled the engagement for June. He said the same thing at the time."

  "I said now June is tight, he still doesn't want to listen. That child in June, these two years back wearing old clothes, getting up early and serving the Shen family people who are cooking, so dark and thin, I see this heartache."

  At this point, Luo's eyes were red with sadness.

  "Look at my sister, then look at me, that's one underground and one in heaven." May wiped away her tears.

  "This sentence resonated even more with Luo's thoughts, and she said to Xia Yunman: "You also heard and saw what kind of life Juanzi is living! What they eat, wear, and use, what they bring back home. Just look at the things they send us! You say if we compare, aren't we much better than Juanzi in June? But look at our situation now, and then look at Juanzi's situation now!"

  "We're better off than her sister in May. In June, we were all afraid of him, and didn't know what to do. By May, we can't listen to him anymore, it's ruining our daughter. We need to find a good family for her by May, so she'll have a good life later on, and we'll benefit from it too!"

  Xia Yunman slowly opened his mouth: "Juanzi was lucky to have met such a good family. Such a good family is not easy to find!"

  This sentence, however, is quite in agreement with Luo's meaning.

  "I told Juanzi to pay attention, in the prefecture city, find a rich family for us in May." Luoshi said, "After May, there is still July. Our two daughters will marry into the prefecture city and enjoy good fortune. In the future, they can be filial to us and help their brothers, that would be great. Did you hear Juanzi say? The money for Dongsheng's marriage, she has all taken care of it!"

  Lu Dongsheng is the nephew of Luo's maternal family and the younger brother of Luo Juan.

  Xia Zhu is also ten years old this year. Although the couple has saved a few taels of silver over the years, if Xia Zhu's marriage were to be arranged, there would not be much left. After Xia Zhu, there is still Xia Yang.

  There are two sons, and they may have more children in the future. This east wing will not be enough to live in, and it is certain that another house will need to be built, which requires money. Relying on their ten mu of land, plus the chickens, ducks, and pigs they raise, it's not impossible to make ends meet, but it will definitely be a hard and difficult life.

  If there were really girls like Juanzi who could help, things would be different.

  "It doesn't have to be like Juanzi, think about your sister..." Xia Yun said in a low and mournful tone.

  Lu understood Xia Yunman's meaning: "It's good to be a scholar, but not a poor scholar. The old savings his father accumulated must have been secretly used to make up for it." Otherwise, Xia Xiucan would also be a poor scholar, and the Tian family wouldn't have anything to use to support their maternal family either.

  The Xia family spent a lot of money to raise a young scholar, and only Old Master Xia knew how much it cost. But when the young scholar grew up and found a decent and lucrative job at the academy in the prefectural city, he separated from Old Master Xia. When the Xia family split up, the young scholar also took the money to build a four-room tile house.

  The Tian family made a big fuss about dividing the property, at that time they could have continued to follow Old Man Xia. But they also took advantage of the situation and divided their property too. They divided the house and land, but didn't get any movable assets.

  It wasn't long before Xia Yunhan married his wife and divided the house and land, but the money for marrying his wife was borrowed. This borrowed money was still repaid by himself.

  Afterwards, Old Man Xia was no longer worried and when he added a small black fish, his life completely turned around.

  A rich and talented young scholar must have a solid family background, and in May, he should also have the skills of the Tian clan.

  "Good brother is lucky!" Xia Yun smacked his lips, a sentence that was full of mixed flavors.

  The couple chatted for half a day, and without turning their backs on May and July, they almost reached an unprecedented consensus with little controversy, and the four members of the family were united as never before.

  "In May, you'd better not go upstairs these days, don't let your grandfather see you." Finally, Luo's mother reminded her daughter and then heard a noise in the courtyard. She looked outside and asked, "Who is it?"

  "It's Xiao Shu bringing the child that Fourth Sister beat up at Lao Tianjia's place!" July sat by the windowsill, turning her head to take a clear look.

  "Ah, it's the young master of that big pastry shop!" Luo's eyes lit up.

  Xia Yunman corrected her with a look of disdain: "It's Gui Xiang Zhai, the largest pastry shop in the imperial city, and it can sell several dozen taels of silver in just one day! They don't just have a pastry shop, they also have other businesses."

  It's said that almost everyone in Daxingzhuang knows that the daughter of Lao Tianjia under the big elm tree married a rich family in Fucheng, but very few people know more about it. This time, it was still them chatting with Luo Tun'er and Luo Juan's husband Zhang Cai, who occasionally mentioned that they knew how rich Tian Lai Bao's family was.

  At that time, Luo only remembered a rough outline of their conversation, but Xia Yunman recalled every single word and sentence.
