Liu Siyue chuckled, "This is our secret, we can't tell you."

"Look at her, there's just no way to deal with her," Mrs. Feng complained to her two sisters-in-law.

"April, come here, your mother has something to tell you."

"Mother, just say what you want to say, I'm listening!"

"I'm not forcing you to get married right now. I just hope you can think about it more. It's not easy for a mother to raise a child alone. I just want to see you have someone who cares about you and shares your burdens. I don't want you to suffer so much all by yourself."

Your mother and your second uncle can still be with you now. Yao'er is still young and can keep you company. All the sisters are together, so it doesn't feel like anything. But one day, they will all get married. It's just a matter of time.

Although sisters can look after each other, they all have their own families, with many ties and concerns. Sometimes they feel powerless and unable to do what they want.

Children grow up quickly, and Yao'er will grow up soon and get married too.

"By then, your mother and your second uncle will be old, and you will be all alone. How can we leave in peace?" As she spoke, Madam Feng began to wipe away tears.

The atmosphere in the room was somewhat oppressive. Liu Siyue's eyes stung, and her heart was filled with emotion. Her mother was thinking so far ahead for her, just like her own mother, afraid that she would be bullied in the future and unable to stand on her own two feet in society. She always made her learn this and that, arming herself with skills so that even if she fell, she could get back up quickly.

The mother and mother have different views and different methods, but they have the same goal: to live a good life.

She always says she wants to raise her child alone, to be an independent woman, and to have freedom, but she never expected that her mother would keep it in mind and worry about her.

She could understand Madam Feng's understanding of marriage and family as an ancient woman. She had to admit that Madam Feng was a good mother. Her thinking was more open-minded than many people's, so it was not so tiring to get along with her. She was also very willing to stay with them and enjoy the warmth of home.

Liu Siyue walked up to Madam Feng, took her hand, squatted down, and rested her head on Madam Feng's lap. Madam Feng stroked her head and they just stayed there quietly. The two aunts watched silently, not knowing what to do, feeling somewhat awkward.

Liu Siyue's legs were a little numb from squatting. She stood up, stood behind Feng Shi, and hugged her from behind. "Mother, I'm sorry for making you worry."

I will seriously consider Mother's suggestion, but I'm still young and have only recently recovered. I won't consider marriage for the next two years. I want to earn more money so that my sisters can learn some skills to support themselves and get married in style with generous dowries, having confidence in their husbands' families and not being controlled by them.

After hearing Liu Siyue's words, Madam Feng could no longer hold back her tears, which fell like large beads from a broken string, and she made sobbing sounds.

Liu Siyue panicked and quickly ran to the front. "Mother, don't cry. Did I say something wrong? Tell me, I'll change, okay?"

Her daughters quickly came over to comfort her, "Mother, don't cry, we'll all listen to you."

"Little sister, please stop crying. Your crying makes me feel terrible, and it makes the child worry and feel bad too."

Feng's tears were like a river bursting its banks, flowing to the sea and never to return!

Liu Siyue thought about what she had just said, and it seemed like she hadn't said anything special. But those words had touched her heartstrings, causing her tears to flow so intensely.

Sigh~ Women, when they're tough they're like steel, when they're soft they're like water, they can endure and bear anything.

Liu Dawang brought in several of his brothers-in-law. "What happened? Why are you all crying?"

Feng turned her back, trying to hold back her tears, but she choked on her own saliva and coughed violently.

"Second Uncle, take a few of the uncles out first. We're fine here. We just had a good chat and everyone got so excited that they cried."

The men were puzzled; what were they talking about that made them cry so emotionally?

Feng's tears finally stopped, her eyes were still red, and she smiled through her tears, "I'm sorry to have made my two sisters-in-law laugh at me."

"Mom, why were you crying so hard just now? You never cried like this before, even when Grandpa and Grandma teased you or the villagers mocked and cursed you. Why are you crying so hard today?"

"I cried tears of joy. You sisters have a good relationship and will take care of each other in the future. I'm so happy."

"Mother, you don't need to worry about our marriage. If fate brings us together, we will get married."

"Yes, Mother knows, you are all good children."

"I hope you can all find good husbands and live happily ever after."

Mother also hopes that Yao'er will have a younger brother or sister in the future, so that the siblings can take care of each other.

"Alright, alright, we'll do as your mother says. We're going to cook. We've been busy today, and we haven't had time to look after you all since your aunt came."

Aunt and Uncle, don't go back today. We'll cook something nice tonight and take you to the county town tomorrow.

There are quite a few medicinal herbs now; we can sell them.

"The weather is getting cold. Once you sell the medicinal herbs and get the money, you can buy things for your home."

"Okay, okay."

The sisters happily went to cook. Liu Siyue went to find Aunt Ye and Liu Fusheng's wife, and called them aside. "Aunties, when you get off work today, tell your uncle that we're going to the county town to sell medicinal herbs tomorrow."

My oxcart needs to carry food, not medicine. I'll ask Uncle to find a oxcart; we'll set off first thing tomorrow morning.

"Hey, we've got it! Thanks, April!" The two were overjoyed. Selling the medicinal herbs meant their family would have some income, and life looked promising!

When the family was having dinner that evening, Feng's two sisters-in-law stared wide-eyed. "My goodness! My little sister's family is living such a good life! This is simply a life of paradise!"

Look at this table full of dishes, mostly meat dishes, all of them smelling delicious. I wonder what they taste like. The two sisters-in-law's mouths were watering. They had never seen such a plentiful meal in their lives, let alone eaten it.

Liu Siyue urged everyone to sit down quickly, "Uncle, Aunt, please sit down and eat, or the food will get cold."

Seeing such delicious food and beautiful dishes, the two aunts didn't know which to eat first.

Liu Siyue put a piece of chicken in everyone's bowl, saying, "Eat quickly, eat quickly. We're all family, no need to be polite."

Su Lianhua, Feng Dagang's wife, praised the food highly. Even Bai Shuixian, Feng Daqiang's taciturn wife, exclaimed, "This food is really delicious. With this skill, you could open a restaurant!"

Su Lianhua quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, second sister-in-law is right, this dish is even better than what you get in restaurants."

Feng Dagang couldn't help but laugh. "Lianhua, have you ever eaten at a restaurant? You're saying here that the food is better than what you get at a restaurant."

"You, Feng Dagang, why do you always have to go against me?"

"Even if I've never eaten at a restaurant, haven't I at least smelled the aroma of restaurant food?"

"My aunt is right, my eldest sister's cooking is indeed delicious. When the time is right, my eldest sister will prepare to open a restaurant."

"Were all these dishes prepared by Ru Yun?"

"Yes, Aunt, please give me your feedback if there's anything I didn't do well."

"My aunt has no complaints. These dishes are all very delicious."

"If you ever open a restaurant, your aunt will help you wash vegetables, wash dishes, and serve food."

"Alright, then once my restaurant opens, I'll ask both of my aunts to come and help."
