One, two, three,... ten.

There are a total of ten taels of silver!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! ?

These ten ounces of silver are what she has been saving up over the years, both openly and secretly, to maintain her livelihood. If she is careful enough, it should last her for a couple of years.

Two years later, Yang Huaming would certainly be able to earn money to support his family. Even if he still couldn't, the many brothers and nephews of the Lao Yang family wouldn't just stand by and watch the people in the fourth room starve one by one.

And she still has Ju'er and Chen Biao!

Besides, all three daughters are ten years old now. In two years, they will be twelve. These girls are beautiful and will definitely find good husbands, bringing in a hefty dowry.

At this thought, Liu's heart felt at ease.

Yang Ruqing had arranged for the restaurant and the transport team, and in the blink of an eye, it was late August of the lunar calendar, deep into autumn.

She thought about spending the next two days with her daughter, and then she was about to leave for Tianhai County to find Tang Yaizi.

Xiaojie, Huangmao, and Xiaosunzi returned together from Huguang County.

Da Sun came over and called out to Sun and Yang Ruoqing, asking them to come together. She wanted everyone to help her find out the result of this blind date.

Across the way, at the Sun family home, everyone had gathered in Old Man Sun's house. Huang Mao was showing off the gifts he had brought back from Lakelight County.

One by one, they were taken out and distributed to the people in the room.

Grandpa's, my uncle's, my aunt's, my aunt's husband's, and Yang Ruohqing, my cousin.

Yang Ruqing held the gift in her hand and smiled, thanking Huang Mao.

Huang Mao said: “These two little things are for the baby and Da Zhi.”

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "With all the gifts you brought back this trip, I bet the carriage is almost full!"

The yellow-haired man smiled.

>Big Sun had been itching to get started, constantly winking at his wife.

Mrs. Sun understood and stood up, taking Xiaojie's hand and pulling her to sit beside her.

"Xiaojie, tell your aunt, how was your trip to Huguang County? Did you have fun?" Sun smiled warmly.

Xiaojie naturally knew what Mrs. Sun wanted to ask, and her face turned red instantly.

"Not bad," she said.

Sun Shi said, "That's good then. You tell your aunt which classmate of your brother you met?"

Xiaojie said, "I've met two, Fan Zhong and Zhang Ban."

"Oh, is that so? Then who do you think the two of them are like? Which one gets along with you better?" asked Mrs. Sun.

Xiajie's face turned even redder, and she sat on the stool a little awkwardly.

“Sister, please don’t ask like that, so many people are watching…” Xia Jie said.

Sun Shi then raised her head and glanced at the room. Old Sun, Da Sun Shi, Huang Mao, and Yang Ruoqing were all there.

Dà Sūn shì couldn't help but say, "It's customary for men to marry when they reach a certain age and women to get married too. We are all family here, so what do you have to be embarrassed about?"

"Some things have to be said sooner or later, ma'am. You just answer my questions honestly!" she continued.

Xiaojie's face turned even redder.

“I don't know anything. You should ask my sister-in-law, she's met those two people too. Ask her. I'm going back to rest.”

After saying that, Xia Jie ran out of the house with a flushed face.

“Why are you running away when an elder is talking to you? Come back here!”

Big Sun Shi shouted from behind, wanting to chase after him, but Yang Ruqing stopped her.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

"Auntie, don't chase after her. This kind of thing is embarrassing for girls, we should find a clever and tactful way to ask if we really want to know."

"Look at the people in this house! Even if it were any of us getting married, we'd be blushing!"

Hearing this from Yang Ruqing, Da Sun could only retreat and immediately asked about the yellow-haired one.

"I've never met both Fan Zhonghe and Zhang Ban. Huang Mao, tell me what they look like?"

What was it like meeting Xiaojie? Who did you meet before her? Was it because the first one wasn't a good fit that you met this other person?

“Why don't they get along? Is it because he doesn't like Xiaojie, or Xiaojie doesn't like him? Or maybe both of them just don't like each other?”

Dàsun's rapid-fire questions left Huángmāo feeling both amused and bewildered.

"Mother, don't worry, let me explain things slowly, alright?" Huang Mao asked.

"You hurry and tell me, the most important part, you don't know these days I am turning over and over at home every day thinking about this!"

Huang Mao smiled faintly, then began to tell about Xiao Jie's trip to Huaguang County and the blind dates she had with two classmates of Da Jie.

>

"Da Jie and I discussed this, originally we were planning to have Fan Zhong meet with Xiao Jie first,"

"Why? Because Da Jie said that Fan Zhong, compared to Zhang Ban, is more lively,"

"There are also siblings at home, who will take care of our parents in the future and share the responsibilities."

Zhang Ban's family only had one son, so the burden was relatively heavier. Moreover, Fan Zhong was a juren after all and was still studying, planning to take the imperial examinations.

"If Xiaojie were to fall for Fan Zhong first, wouldn't that be even better?" Huang Mao said.

“Yes, yes, yes, your plans are right. So what was the outcome? How did they get along after meeting?”

Huang Mao said: "What a coincidence! Fan Zhong had some unexpected things to deal with at the last minute, so Zhang Ban came here first."

>

"This is the first time I've seen this kind of pattern. Personally, I think Zhang Ban is an honest person, and his personality is quite straightforward in every aspect."

“But when it comes to dealing with people, there's also a matter of social graces. I estimate that he is probably a bit too rigid.”

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances.

"What does Zhang Ban look like?" Da Sun couldn't help but ask again.

“She's too ugly, we can't marry her! Xia Jie might not be particularly beautiful, but she's decent-looking. We can't find a husband who is a monster and have a litter of ugly children!”

Dà Sūn's words made everyone in the room laugh.

Old Sun said: "Don't judge people by their appearance. As long as they are our own children, no matter how beautiful or ugly, as long as they are not weak or foolish, and healthy, that's enough!"

Dà Sun shi closed her mouth.

Lao Sun turned to Huang Mao and said, "Go on, how does Xiao Jie see that Zhang Ban?"

Huang Mao said: "I asked Xiao Jie, but she absolutely refused to tell me."

"Dai Jie asked Zhang Ban, that man is really interesting."

"He seems kind of stiff, but he doesn't refuse. He just says that Xiao Jie is clean and kind, giving him a friendly feeling. This leaves Da Jie a little unsure of his intentions."

“Ah?” Dà Sūn shì expressed surprise again.

"So, did they end up liking each other or not?" she asked.

Huang Mao said, "I don't know. Zhang Ban said half of it and left half. Da Jie told him that if he liked Xiao Jie, he could go home and tell his family, then come to propose."

Zhang Ban said, "A gentleman doesn't force others into difficult situations. It's best to first consult Xiao Jie's opinion. If Xiao Jie agrees, he will send a matchmaker over."

Hearing what Huang Mao said, Lao Sun laughed: "Zhang Ban this young man is not bad, he has taken a liking to our Xiao Jie!"
