Yu Wan stopped smiling and told Aunt the situation that she had found out from the Directorate. “Among the thirty-three students in the class, Second Brother is the last to transfer into the school, but Second Brother is the most diligent. I heard that Second Brother is the first to wake up and the last to sleep. He studies hard until midnight every night. He has to wake up before dawn.”
“S-so late…” Aunt began to feel sorry for her son. In the past, she felt that farming was tough, but after hearing Yu Wan’s words, she felt that studying was not easy either. Although farming was tough, he could still have enough sleep. Why did he sleep less than a chicken when he studied?
Aunt suddenly thought of Zhao Heng. No wonder Zhao Heng had always been thin. It turned out that he had studied too much.
“Wait a moment, I’ll go get some eggs…” How could Aunt know that studying was so tiring? She scolded herself for being ignorant and not knowing how to nourish her son’s body.
The Directorate’s food was not bad, and Yu Wan often sent food to Yu Song. Yu Song’s food, clothes, and accommodation were really not short, but this was a token of appreciation from his mother. Yu Wan did not refuse and smiled as she watched her aunt leave.
Not long after Aunt left, Aunt Zhang, Aunt Bai, and Shuanzi’s mother came to visit.
“Ah Wan, you’re back.” Aunt Zhang carried a big pumpkin planted in her vegetable garden and entered the house with a smile.
“Aunt Zhang, Aunt Bai, Aunt Wu, come in and sit.” Yu Wan welcomed the three of them into the house.
When the aunts came to visit, Yu Shaoqing, a man, couldn’t continue to stay in the room. He brought Little Bruiser, who was opening gifts, to the workshop.
The three aunts saw Yu Wan’s carriage parked outside and specially came to look for her. However, the three of them stammered and found it difficult to speak. It was still Aunt Bai who patted her chest. “Let me say it! It was the matchmaker who came to visit and arranged a marriage for Mao’er, Erniu, and Shuanzi’s brother. In the end, we were all dazzled!”
Yu Wan nodded and said, “So you want me to help Brother Mao’er make a decision?”
“No,” Aunt Bai said. “It’s their sister. The matchmaker came to our house to propose a marriage and took a fancy to our girls. However, benefits should not go to others. How can we marry our daughter off? Your brother is already taken. We don’t have the fortune.”
“So you have taken a fancy to my second brother?” They did not hide the fact from the villagers that her second brother had gone to the Capital to study. Everyone knew that her second brother was going to be successful.
“It’s not your second brother!” Aunt Bai said. “It’s Ah Wei!”
Yu Wan : “…”
What happened to keeping the good stuff to yourself?
“How capable is my daughter? What can’t she do? She’s even more capable than a man! It’s his blessing to marry my daughter!” Aunt Bai straightened her back and said.
Aunt Zhang said indifferently, “What’s the use of being more capable than men? How many men can stand your daughter’s temper? My daughter is the most gentle and virtuous!”
This was the truth. Aunt Bai’s daughter took after her. Her loud voice was world-shaking, and she was more efficient than men. She was the one who received the most salary last month, while Aunt Zhang’s daughter spoke softly. She did not work in the workshop and only worked at home.
“My daughter is beautiful!” Shuanzi’s mother said.
This was not a lie. Shuanzi’s sister was thirteen years old this year. Her facial features had yet to grow, and she looked slightly inexperienced and naive. However, her skin was tight and she was a complete beauty.
The three of them competed and quarreled in the room. They all said that their daughter was good and that Ah Wei should marry her.
Yu Wan looked at the three of them strangely. “Forgive me for being blunt, but this is Ah Wei’s marriage. Shouldn’t you ask Ah Wei for his opinion?”
There was silence in the room.
Aunt Bai: “My clothes haven’t been washed.”
Aunt Zhang: “I haven’t cooked yet.”
Shuanzi’s mother: “My cow wasn’t fed!”
The three of them left together!
Yu Wan : “…”
After the three aunts caused such a ruckus, Yu Wan thought of her brother’s marriage. Bai Tang’s “smallpox” had already recovered for a long time. Old Master Bai should have forgotten about the inn. It was time for him to propose marriage.
When Aunt came over with a basket of eggs, Yu Wan told her what she thought.
Aunt had always been concerned about her son’s marriage, but she was afraid that the other party would look down on their family. Their family’s life was better now, and Third Brother and Ah Wan had also become promising. However, to be honest, that was the ability of the third branch. Their eldest branch was still a few country bumpkins.
Aunt was good at everything, but she was just too honest. If it were the Guo family and the Luo family, it would be a different story.
However, Yu Wan also understood her aunt’s worries. She hoped that her two sons would be successful and not have to rely on anyone to earn a living. In the past, her aunt might not have such “ambitions”. She only felt that it was enough that her two sons did not starve to death. However, after seeing their ability, she began to have expectations for her sons.
Yu Wan was also filled with anticipation. She believed that with her brother’s diligence and second brother’s brain, they would definitely be able to stand out in the future.
However, Bai Tang was not young anymore. Who knew if Old Master Bai would forget the pain one day and start arranging a marriage for her?
Yu Wan tried her best to persuade her, but Aunt still could not make up her mind even when she spoke till her throat was dry, mainly because she was too unconfident.
Madam Jiang said gently, “Sister-in-law, try it. Let Ah Wan and Little Feng go to the Bai Manor together.”
Aunt agreed.
Yu Wan : “…”
So why did she talk for so long? Her mother settled it with a sentence!
