Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Wenwu wanted to see his sisters excited expression, but he did not expect her to be so calm. It was as if she was used to it. No, his younger sister was just confident in her medical skills.

“Sister, I passed by Old Madam Lin’s house when I returned to the village. She was picking vegetables at the door and said she had slept well last night. Her legs no longer hurt, and she didn’t wake up because of the pain.

“She said your prescription was effective. She didn’t expect to be able to buy such good medicine at such a low price. She asked me to thank you on her behalf.”

Su Wenwu was thrilled. “Old Madam Lin said her legs used to hurt a lot whenever it got cold, and she couldn’t even sleep because of the pain. Last night, she applied the medicine to her legs and drank your prescribed medicine, so she slept soundly. She’s pleased.”

He thought it was good that the older lady’s leg had recovered and that she could sleep well. He could empathize with that teeling.

“That’s good,” Su Binglan said, “Although it’s just a small condition, Old

Madam Lin needs to recuperate for half a month before she’s completely fine.”

Su Wenwu looked at Su Binglan with admiration and said, “You’re so amazing, Little Sister. Even I admire you.”

Su Binglan looked at Su Wenwu and said, “Third Brother, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses—including you. Perhaps in the eyes of others, you are also amazing, and they admire you too. You must see your own improvements.”

Su Wenwu listened to his sister’s words of encouragement and agreed. He had also improved a lot; his friends and brothers admired him because he was in charge of the hotpot restaurant.

He also handed over the responsibility of the ingredients to his friends and paid them monthly. They were all grateful to him. Therefore, he felt he should be doing something meaningful.

He was also helpful to his brothers. Thinking of this, Su Wenwu became excited.

Su Binglan thought about what she had heard at the clothing store and asked, “By the way, is Li Dazhuang engaged?”

Su Wenwu became excited at the mention of this. “He’s engaged. His grandmother was concerned about him, but his family is poor, and many girls despise him for not having parents.

“He also has his grandmother, younger brother, and sister to take care of, so he had trouble finding a girl. But now he’s in charge of the ingredients in the hotpot restaurant and gets two silver taels a month. He did well this month, so I’ve paid him in advance.”

Li Dazhuang went to town to buy some cloth for his grandmother and younger siblings. There, he met Jiang Xiaocheng. The two familiarized themselves with each other after a while.

“Jiang Xiaocheng doesn’t mind Li Dazhuang’s family situation and is willing to care for his grandmother and raise his siblings with him. However, Jiang

Xiaocheng has conditions.”

Su Binglan raised her eyebrows, “Conditions? What conditions?”

She felt that Jiang Xiaocheng was a good girl and would not ask for too much.

‘Could it be the betrothal money? Probably not.’ Su Binglan could not think of any conditions. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Su Wenwu did not beat around the bush and said, “Xiaocheng is going to bring her mother with her to live together. That is to say, Xiaocheng will live with

Dazhuang. They will also have to support Xiaocheng’s mother in the future.” Su Binglan finally understood, “You mean two families merging into one?

Su Wenwu said, “Most people would disagree. It’s almost the same as marrying into the family, but Dazhuang agreed, and his grandmother did too. She even wants to let Miss Jiang join the Li family. She treats Miss Jiang as her own.”

Su Binglan knew how conservative most people were in this era. One would not consider it as marrying into the family. It was just that Jiang Xiaocheng and Li Dazhuang had gotten together, so Miss Jiang, Old Madam Li, Li Erying, and Li Sanzhu had become a family.

Nonetheless, it was good that they were harmonious.

“Your way of thinking is wrong, Third Brother, so I must criticize you. You should live your life as you see fit, not for others. It doesn’t matter what others say. What’s important is that a family can live in harmony. That’s more important than anything else.

“Besides, Xiaocheng and Dazhuang are together, and Miss Jiang is Xiaochengs mother. If they don’t mind living together, what can others say?

“You must keep this in mind in the future. If you care about someone, you must care about their family too. You must think about others and not just yourself. Be considerate, Third Brother.”

Su Wenwu scratched the back of his head and said, “You’re right, Sister. I’m just saying. My friends and I are happy for Dazhuang. He’s still dutiful to his grandmother and raises his siblings even though he met a good girl.”

Su Binglan nodded. “Xiaocheng is indeed a good girl.”

Su Wenwu continued, “That’s right. Old Madam Li met with Miss Jiang and her daughter and was very satisfied with them. She immediately decided to send her grandson to propose. The two families have long been together.” Su Binglan finally understood what was happening. “Don’t be stingy when

Dazhuang and Xiaocheng get married.”

She would remind her brother of these things whenever she thought of them. “Don’t worry, Little Sister,” Su Wenwu said, “I’ll take care of that.”

Later that evening, Old Madam Lin and Old Madam Li sat at the door picking vegetables and talking together. The two were neighbors and would occasionally chat.

However, Old Madam Li was concerned about her grandson’s affairs in the past, so she rarely went out. Meanwhile, Old Madam Lin also rarely went out because of her bad legs.

Since Old Madam Lin had taken the medicine Su Binglan had prescribed and applied the medicine to her legs, she felt much better and came out to chat.

Now that Old Madam Li’s grandson’s marriage was settled and he had a good job, she heaved a sigh of relief. She felt more relaxed and wanted to go and chat with her neighbors.

“Old Madam Li, I heard your eldest grandson got engaged. Is the girl from town?” Old Madam Lin asked.

Old Madam Li could not stop smiling at the mention of this. “Yes, she’s from town, a good girl. She doesn’t mind my family’s situation.”

“Your grandson is so capable now. He has a proper job and can make money monthly. Your younger grandson and granddaughter are sensible too. How could I despise them?” Although that was what Old Madam Lin said, Old

Madam Li would not get too excited because she knew her family’s situation

Some girls might have noticed that Li Dazhuang was earning money now, so they were more willing to visit his house.

Of course, there were some things Old Madam Li did not mind saying to those girls, but there were things she had to keep inside. She did not want Li Dazhuang to care for his younger siblings alone.

She feared quarreling with her eldest grandson. However, she could not give Li Dazhuang away to those girls because Li Erying and Li Sanzhu still relied on him, their big brother.

Therefore, Old Madam Li had more considerations.

However, Jiang Xiaocheng was a good child, and Li Dazhuang liked her. Besides, Jiang Xiaocheng’s family only had a few things. She and her mother only had each other to rely on.

As long as the Li family treated Jiang Xiaochengs mother as their own, Jiang Xiaocheng would also treat them sincerely.

Old Madam Li could see through everything..
