Chapter 427: Chapter 427: Marrying a Wife Should Be Marrying a Virtuous Woman

“YingEr, don’t fuss! Let’s listen to what your cousin has to say first.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Sisi quickly pulled back YingEr who was trying to drag herself out.

“Di Cheng, which girl is it? There’s no need to be so shy in front of Third Auntie, come on, just say it! So I can give you some advice!”

“Wow, Di Cheng, you’re not bad! We’ve been living and eating together every day and I didn’t even know about this. Which girl is it? Hurry up and tell! Let me tell you, when marrying a wife, choose a virtuous one. Don’t make the same mistake I did, I… ”

From the side, Shou Hou, who had been busy, squeezed over and climbed onto Di Cheng’s shoulder with a face full of experienced advice.

His bitter gourd-like face made everyone present want to laugh but held it back, as they were worried about hurting his feelings. Holding back their laughter was quite hard.

“Shou Hou, to be honest, Cuihua isn’t that bad to you. Don’t take your blessings for granted!”

After laughing for a while, Liu Sisi finally held back her laughter and said seriously.

“What blessings! Not only is she strong, but she also brings a string of troubles everywhere she goes. I’m already so tired just cleaning up her messes… ” Shou Hou said with a dejected face.

“Although she’s strong, doesn’t it perfectly make up for your weakness? As for her ability to cause trouble…”

Liu Sisi smiled and said, “When has she ever let you get hurt? Hasn’t she always protected you and stood in front of you? It’s true that she has a larger figure, but that’s what her parents gave her. She’s never wronged you. You mustn’t get stuck in a dead end and not be able to climb out.”

Liu Sisi’s words left Shou Hou speechless, and he froze on the spot.

After a while, he sighed softly and rubbed his face: “Each family has its own problems that you would not understand.” After saying that, he walked away with a despondent expression.

Di Cheng looked at his retreating figure with an expression of pity.

“Just a few days ago, when work started… Cuihua came to ask for money again…”

Di Cheng wanted to say more but stopped.

Liu Sisi raised an eyebrow in surprise, glanced at Shou Hou who was pretending to be busy on the other side, and was left speechless too.

“So, which girl is it, and has your mother gone to propose marriage yet?”

She brought the conversation back.

Di Cheng shook his head gently: “It’s… Feng Qian’er, the second daughter of the blacksmith next door… Her father has already said that if you want to propose marriage, you have to give 100 taels of silver, and also have property in the town or county. So…”

“Wow! Such high demands? Is Feng Qian’er that beautiful?”

Liu Sisi was also taken aback by this demand!

To know that in this day and age, families willing to spend 100 taels of silver on a marriage proposal were basically wealthy! For ordinary farmers’ families to come up with 100 taels of silver, selling their entire property wouldn’t even be enough!

Di Cheng’s face grew even more embarrassed: “Qian’er is alright… it’s just that her father is really hard to deal with. So…”

Liu Sisi thought for a moment: “Telling me about this doesn’t do much good! Your parents are in good health and your grandparents are still alive. As your Third Aunt, it’s not my place to interfere. It would be overstepping. How about this: you communicate with your mother first and see what she says before discussing anything else?”
