Su Sanlang nodded. “Shopkeeper Niu is an open-minded person. I agree with this. I’ll be a messenger. Whether it works or not depends on fate.”
Su Sanlang agreed. Shopkeeper Niu smiled warmly.
“Brother Su, thank you. I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ll take my leave.”
Shopkeeper Niu stood up and cupped his hands. He had said what he needed to say, so he could go back in peace.
Su Sanlang stood up to see him off.
After sending Shopkeeper Niu off, Madam Zhao washed the dishes and came over.
Without waiting for Madam Zhao to ask, Su Sanlang smiled and said to her, “Darling, Shopkeeper Niu came this time to ask me to matchmake his two grandsons. His two grandsons are interested in Daniu and Erniu.”
Madam Zhao was stunned. “So that’s what happened.”
Su Sanlang nodded. “Yes. I was shocked at first when I heard him say it.”
He thought that he wanted to ask about Su Xiaoling’s marriage. The couple actually wanted to wait for the results of Su Chong and Su Hua’s Fall Quarter Examinations next year.
Shopkeeper Niu did ask about that. Su Sanlang was not disappointed. Instead, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Madam Zhao smiled and said, “That’s a good thing. Shopkeeper Niu’s family background is not bad, and he’s quite a good person. Although businessmen are scheming, we’ve worked together for so many years. He’s indeed a good person. Where do Niu Xibao and Niu Xian work? Why haven’t I seen them before?”
Su Sanlang held Madam Zhao’s hand and said as they returned to the backyard, “You should have seen them before. Shopkeeper Niu said that his two grandsons came back to town in the past two months. They’re the two boys who have been helping transport the sauerkraut and pickles recently.”
Madam Zhao thought about it. She had really seen them before.
Niu Xibao and Niu Xian worked efficiently and spoke politely, leaving a good impression.
Madam Zhao smiled and said, “I recall. These two children left a good impression on me. Their families are not bad either. If Daniu and Erniu marry them, their lives won’t be hard. I’ll talk to Sister-in-law later.”
Su Sanlang nodded. “Okay, let’s talk first and see if they are willing.”
He had promised to help pass the message, so of course he had to do it well.
“Sanlang, you must be tired. Sit down. I’ll massage your shoulders and back.”
After returning to their room, Madam Zhao asked Su Sanlang to sit down.
Su Sanlang obediently sat down on the edge of the bed. Madam Zhao massaged his shoulders, and Su Sanlang closed his eyes to enjoy the moment of relaxation.
After fifteen minutes, Su Sanlang took Madam Zhao’s hand and said, “That’s enough. Go to sleep. I’ll massage you too.”
After being husband and wife for more than twenty years, there were fine lines on Madam Zhao’s beautiful face.
Although the scar on her arm was gone, the damage she suffered would never heal.
The couple looked at each other and smiled. After lying down, they embraced each other.
October 8th.
At noon, Su Sanlang and Chen Hu left the shop to buy seasonings.
On the way, Su Sanlang said to Chen Hu, “Hu, what do you think of these two brothers who have been helping with our work recently?”
Chen Hu smiled and said, “They’re quite diligent and agile. The brothers have a good relationship. They look like good kids.”
After Chen Hu answered, he looked at Su Sanlang with doubt, not knowing why he was asking.
Su Sanlang smiled and said, “These two children are Shopkeeper Niu’s grandsons.”
Chen Hu was even more confused about Su Sanlang’s intentions.
“Shopkeeper Niu’s family taught them well.”
Chen Hu told the truth. Shopkeeper Niu owned such a big restaurant and his family did not lack money. The younger generation in his family was raised so well too. It was obvious that his family background was not bad.
Su Sanlang looked at Chen Hu seriously and said, “Hu, Shopkeeper Niu came to my house to look for me. He said that his two grandsons are interested in Daniu and Erniu and want me to be a matchmaker. Think about it.”
Chen Hu was stunned. He looked at Su Sanlang and moved his lips, not knowing what to say for a long time.
After a while, Chen Hu asked, “Brother, you’re not joking, right? Shopkeeper Niu’s grandsons really like my Daniu and Erniu?”
Su Sanlang nodded solemnly. “I’m not joking. Niu Xibao is the older one and likes Daniu. Niu Xian is the younger one and likes Erniu.”
Chen Hu scratched his head. “Shopkeeper Niu’s family background is not bad, and his children are not bad either. However, are our Daniu and Erniu suitable for their status?”
Chen Hu knew that the Chen family’s wealth was far inferior to the Niu family.
Letting Daniu and Chen Erniu get married to such a family would be out of their league.
As the saying went, a marriage of equal social status would last for a long time. Marrying someone of a lower social status and marrying someone of a higher social status were both stressful.
Su Sanlang said to Chen Hu, “Hu, your worries are not unreasonable. Go back and discuss with your wife before making a decision. There’s no hurry.”
Chen Hu had his concerns. These had to be considered carefully. Su Sanlang was not in the place to persuade him too much.
Chen Hu nodded. He also knew about this.
Manager Niu’s two grandsons were indeed very good children. Chen Hu’s only worry was that his family was not worthy of them. He was afraid that Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu would be humbled if they married over.
Su Sanlang took the opportunity to tell Chen Hu. Madam Zhao also took the opportunity to tell Madam Qian.
Madam Qian also looked worried when she heard this. She sighed and said, “Sister-in-law, to be honest, I know very well that if I miss this opportunity, Daniu and Erniu won’t be able to marry so well in the future.”
“But I’m still worried. Our family and the Niu family are too different. What if they despise Daniu and Erniu in the future? The Niu family is not like other families. If that day really comes, their descendants might take concubines.”
Madam Qian and Madam Zhao revealed their worries. Ordinary people only had one wife in their lives because they could not afford to marry too many.

Rich people were different.
As a woman, Madam Zhao naturally understood that women were petty. It was not easy to serve a husband with other women.
Madam Zhao frowned when she heard this. She had not thought of this.
Madam Zhao sighed softly and said, “Sister-in-law, life is unpredictable. No one can explain this clearly. You and Hu can discuss it more later. Shopkeeper Niu’s family background is not bad, and Niu Xibao and Niu Xian’s characters are good. Your worries make sense. I can’t help you with this matter. The two of you can discuss it later. It doesn’t matter if you agree or reject it. Just don’t cause any additional trouble.”
This concerned the children’s marriage. No matter how close they were, Madam Zhao would not interfere.
In this world, nothing was unchanging. Some things could not be interfered with no matter how close they were.
If the two families became in-laws, the couple would also be happy for Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu. If it didn’t work out, it would be a decision made after careful consideration by the Chen family. As long as it was a decision made after careful consideration, whether they agreed or rejected it, it was a good decision.
Madam Qian nodded and looked at Madam Zhao gratefully. “Sister-in-law, thank you. I’ll tell Hu later and we’ll consider it carefully. When the time comes, I’ll have to ask Big Brother to help me deliver the message.”
