Li Shiyue thought that this teasing of his would make Li Qiutian see Li Qiutian's blushing cheeks.

Unexpectedly, Li Qiutian's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded gently to Li Shiyue to indicate that he already knew about it.

"How did you know, sister?

I only found out about this after I went back and my mother mentioned it to me.

My sister went up the mountain with me that day. Could it be that my aunt told my sister about this?"

Li Qiutian raised her hand to adjust her straw hat to give herself a wider view in front of her, then she turned her head and blinked at Li Shiyue: "Do I need to tell you this, mother?
How could she be the kind of person who could hold back in her words in the summer?
I was just taking a bath in the kitchen, and she could stick to the window and whisper these words to me. "

"So it was Sister Xia Tian who told you, I was wondering how Sister knew.

So, sister, what do you think? "

At this time, a gust of wind blew over, blowing up the loose hair at Li Qiutian's temples. She raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her ears and said, "I've said it before, I want to marry a son-in-law.

The matchmaker came to our house to tell my mother that I should get married.

How can this be possible?

The matchmaker was from Qingsong Town. She came to the Li family to ask for the hand in marriage of Li Qiutian to the eldest son of a carpenter family in the town.

This carpenter was not the one that Li Shiyue had found to help with the plow and the curved plow.

Although she didn't inquire about it in detail, Li's mother said to Li Shiyue at the time: "Your aunt didn't really want to keep your sister at home to marry a son-in-law. If the family there is good, it would be a good thing for her to marry there.

But the two of us felt something was wrong when we heard what the matchmaker said.

The carpenter's family must not be wealthy, as the eldest son is already over 20 and still hasn't married.

The matchmaker said she would give a betrothal gift, but she didn't say how much it would be.

It was also said that the carpenter and his family went to work for the general.

Your aunt and I were wondering, could it be that this carpenter had heard from others that our family had a connection with the general, and that’s why he came to ask to marry our daughter in a roundabout way?”

Mother Li had a worried look on her face. She grabbed Li Shiyue's hand and continued to say to her, "If it's as your aunt and I guessed, your sister must not be married to him.

It's not that I'm attracted to your sister, but I'm attracted to the power of our family.

So your aunt said that she had no sons in the family and wanted to find a son-in-law for your sister, so she rejected the man and let him go.

Now that the rumor of marrying a son-in-law has gotten out, it will be very difficult for your sister to find a husband in the future.

Which capable man would be willing to marry into the wife's family?"

When Li Shiyue heard her mother's worried words, she laughed. She raised her hand to smooth her mother's frown. Facing her mother's reproachful eyes, Li Shiyue said to her mother, "Mother, what is there to worry about?
My family has a paper mill, a paper shop, and money, so I have some influence in the village.

Sister has reliable relatives," Li Shiyue indicated to Mother Li that the "reliable relative" was herself, and she straightened her chest, "Sister still has money, and she is only eighteen. Is she still worried about not being able to find a suitable man to come home?

Then Anton's daughters don't have to think about marriage. According to his mother and aunt, there is no suitable person at all.

In this case, we will just follow my sister's wishes from now on. If she wants to get married, we will prepare a good dowry for her and send her off happily!
If my elder sister is really determined to marry a man into her family, then she should just find someone who is easy to control, bring him home, and support him.

With my sister's strength and money, she will not suffer any loss whether she gets married or marries a son-in-law, and she will not be wronged. That's enough! Why should my mother and aunt worry about this?"

Li's mother was originally worried about Li Qiutian's marriage, but after hearing what Li Shiyue said, she surprisingly felt that what Li Shiyue said was very reasonable.

"Yes, your sister has money, relatives, and strength, so why should she worry about not finding a good man?"

After listening to what Li Shiyue said, Li's mother went back to find Zheng Meiniang, and the two of them started whispering to each other. The more they talked, the more they felt that this was true!
Therefore, when Li Shiyue teased Li Qiutian, she actually wanted to say to her: "Sister, what my mother and I said was true.

My sister will never have trouble finding a husband, nor will she have trouble finding a son-in-law.

If my sister wants to marry a son-in-law now, just spread the word, and there will definitely be many families with many sons and daughters coming to visit. Then my sister can just pick the one she likes. "

"Haha," Li Qiutian, who was amused by what Li Shiyue said, laughed out loud.

"When I think about the scene you described, I find it funny. It will really become a scene at that time."

After laughing, Li Qiutian said to Li Shiyue seriously: "I still want to marry a daughter-in-law, Shiyue." Li Qiutian turned his head to look at Li Shiyue, "Just like you are worried about your aunt and Shitou, there are only A Niang and Xia Tian at home. If I get married, how can I feel at ease?

My father hasn't been found yet, so how can I have the heart to look for a son-in-law?
Wait a little longer, wait a little longer."

While Li Shiyue and Li Qiutian were chatting about whether to get married or to marry a son-in-law, Qin Tao and Li Shigui, who were following behind their carriage, were also chatting.

Qin Tao took out a cloth and wiped the sweat from her forehead. In order to look good, she didn't think of wearing a straw hat when she went out.

"Gui Ge'er, wipe it quickly."

Li Shigui took the towel and wiped his face back and forth twice. He looked at the two cars in front of him that were almost invisible. Then he returned the towel to Qin Tao and said to her, "Mother, it looks like they are going to deliver paper to the city again."

Qin Tao naturally also saw the boxes of wooden boxes loaded on the truck.

Li Shiyue took the lead in building a paper mill and opened a shop in the provincial capital. This matter had been discussed in Liujiatun for a month.

Even though Qin Tao deliberately avoided interacting with the people from Lijia Village, she pushed all matters that required interaction to Li Shigui.

But every day when I go to the river to wash clothes or something, I can always hear other people's wives and mothers talking about these things. Even if I don't want to know, I will know it just by listening.

Moreover, in the recent days, because of Li Shiyue, this ancestral hall has become a place where women can enter to worship and visit the graves.

Speaking of this, Qin Tao admired Li Shiyue very much. She thought that Li Shiyue was really amazing because he dared to use a knife against the clan elders and dared to fight against injustice.

But she also knew that because of the complicated relationship between her family and Li Shiyue's family, everything Li Shiyue did had nothing to do with their family.

"Gui'er, her home is her home, and our home is our home.

Your sister is about to give birth. When you finish your studies, it would be best if you can pass the imperial examination and become a scholar. Then our family can live in the capital.

At that time, our family had nothing to do with Liujiatun anymore.”
