He Yuzhen came back, but everyone at home had finished eating. Xie Chunxiang was leaning against the door frame talking to Ye Dazui about her matchmaking, and they didn't shy away when they saw her coming back.
"With Yuzhen's reputation, not to mention a bride price of thirty yuan, even if you pay extra, good families won't want her. This family I mentioned knows me well. No other words necessary; they're willing to offer thirty yuan, and once Yuzhen marries, she'll definitely live a good life."
"Thirty is a bit low!" Xie Chunxiang said. "Our second sister can bear many children."
"What children are needed? The family's two sons are already quite grown. The older one died from illness, so it doesn't matter if there are no more kids, as long as she takes care of them."
Ye Dazui looked up and down at He Yuzhen and laughed, "Yuzhen, you ought to thank me. When you marry over there, you'll be so happy you might not leave the bed!"
