Shi Xiu dutifully said to Shi Nian, “Shi Nian, I’ll get your share from Grandpa, too. I’ll give it to Yun Nan.” Shi Nian had always doted on his sister, and it was no different this time. Moreover, she wanted to hand it to Yun Nan, so he naturally supported her.

Hai Hua didn’t expect the Gu and Shi families to have such a relationship. She couldn’t help but ask Shi Xiu, “So, you’ve met Gu Fei? You two—”

Shi Xiu hurriedly interrupted Hai Hua, “Ah! Hold it right there, Hai Hua. Don’t think too much about it; that Gu Fei isn’t my type, but he wants my help. He’s using me as a cover to resist his mother’s control over him.”

Hai Hua seemed relieved and said carefully, “Gu Fei is the only male of his generation in the Gu family, so he’s extremely precious to the family. He also has three older sisters who’ve married very well, and they all treat their younger brother like the apple of their eyes. Gu Fei’s mother, Bai Jie, also has a strong personality. I’m afraid it won’t be easy being the Gu family’s daughter-in-law.”

Shi Xiu’s eyes widened. She looked at Hai Hua and then at Shi Nian and cried,

“Shi Nian, did you hear that? I don’t want to marry him! You have to help me!”

Shi Nian glanced at her and replied, “That depends on your performance.”

Shi Xiu hugged Yun Nan and uttered mournfully, “Yun Nan, save me. You wouldn’t let me marry into such a family to become a baby-making machine and be divorced and sent back to my mother’s house if I didn’t give birth to a boy, would you? Yun Nan, you’re one of my family. You must help me! My brother is useless; I can only rely on you.”

Her antics amused Yun Nan, and she laughed. Shi Nian patted Shi Xiu’s head. “What do you mean I’m useless?” he mock-growled. ‘Why are you begging me if I’m useless?”

Yun Nan’s tense nerves finally relaxed slightly, thanks to the siblings’ tomfoolery. Xiang Yang, Fang Xi, and Ye Kun were busy; they were waiting for the Gu family—Hai Hua’s aunt and uncle—to come while preparing for the cooperation matters they had discussed with the town leaders yesterday.

Ye Kun was silly when it came to relationships, but he was like a different person when he worked. It made Fang Xi look at him in a new light. Xiang Yang was fascinated by the town’s embroidery that had been passed down from generation to generation and planned to cooperate with them in depth. Therefore, everyone was busy going in and out of the noodle shop the entire morning. At the same time, they were nervously looking forward to the Gu family’s arrival.

It was already three in the afternoon when Gu Bei and his wife arrived. Yun Nan had just finished making all kinds of snacks and was a little out of it.

“They’re here! They’re here! They’ve arrived!” Hai Hua jumped up and shouted before rushing out.
