Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Zi was a bit puzzled and asked, “What ceremony?”

Su Shen replied, “It’s the betrothal ceremony, a crucial procedure before the wedding. I can’t let you be unfairly treated.”

Realizing that this was indeed significant in traditional customs, Su Shen had already provided a betrothal gift, hadn’t he? Wasn’t that enough?

Besides, he had handed over all their household money to her; was the betrothal ceremony really important?

She felt inexperienced and somewhat careless. Everything seemed to be the older man’s consideration.

But she quickly forgave herself. After all, it was her first marriage, and her lack of understanding was somewhat reasonable. Besides, didn’t it show how considerate the older man was?

Gu Zi said, “Alright, I’ll do as you say. And truly, marrying you doesn’t feel like a compromise, so stop saying such things.”

Her tone carried a hint of coyness as she spoke. He found it soothing and promised to remember her words.

Su Shen still had some paperwork to handle for the pig farm. Not wanting to disturb him, Gu Zi asked Su Bing to take his younger brother to bed. She then carried Su Le upstairs.

Their new bed came with the latest mattress, providing a very comfortable sleep.

In the middle of the night, the bed sank deeply on the other side. Gu Zi turned over and naturally nestled into the man’s arms.

Looking at her beautiful face illuminated by the moonlight, he couldn’t resist kissing her. They lingered in that embrace for a long while.

During these nights sharing the same bed, he found himself habitually kissing her before sleeping, as if not doing so would hinder his ability to fall asleep.

The following day at the Lin family residence…

In the early morning, Jin Long set off for the town to make purchases. By mid-morning, he had managed to deliver the new furniture right at the doorstep of the Lin household. The procession attracted quite a crowd of curious onlookers along the way.

She swiftly rushed into her plot of land, pulling aside Lin Laoyao, her husband, who was working. ‘What are you still doing here? Your brother’s family has struck it rich. They’re in the middle of replacing their furniture. I’ve taken a liking to a redwood vanity. You go and get it for our daughter-in-law who hasn’t joined our family yet.”

She had planned it all out. Her son, Lin Ye, was about to get married to a girl from the town. She was fretting over not having anything impressive to give as a gift. But now, with the redwood vanity, that problem was solved.

Lin Laoyao looked at his greedy wife with some helplessness. He didn’t want to go. Their family already owed a lot to his brother’s family.

Back when they were dividing property and homes, because his second brother didn’t like to fight, their mother had given him the smallest and least fertile plot of land. There wasn’t enough for a house, so they didn’t even get one. Despite this, Second Brother and his wife never complained.

Later on, as the families expanded, their mother took care of the older brother’s family and his children. She also helped with their family’s children, but she never lent a hand to his second brother’s household.

Over the years, Second Brother’s family had managed to get through all the hardships on their own. What right did they have to ask for things now?

Especially in their family, his eldest brother and sister-in-law were particularly snobbish, so they alienated Second Brother’s family but never deliberately suppressed them.

On the other hand, his own wife was not only was status-conscious but also deliberately took advantage of his second brother’s family.
