Upon hearing cousin’s words, the first thought that came to Feng Qingxue was the immense secret she bore—her possession of the space. It felt safer when her husband wasn’t around for a long time.
She’d never intended to tell this secret to anyone, including her future partner.
However, the social status of Lu Jiang’s family posed a problem.
Even though she wasn’t born in that era, she’d heard about it. Her own grandmother suffered due to social status discrimination. She didn’t know whether she could endure the risk that might last for over a decade, resulting from her husband’s poor family background.
She admired soldiers, but she wasn’t sure if she had the courage to marry one and endure the long, separate lives they would have to lead.
“Cousin, before the founding of the nation, marriage was based on the compatibility of family backgrounds—not like now, where social status matters. It used to be about affluent families marrying their children to those of other affluent families, and the same went for less privileged ones. Regardless, the Lu Family used to be affluent, and Lu Zhiyuan lived a privileged life since childhood. Would they fancy a poor girl like me? Would the soldier Lu Jiang be willing?” Feng Qingxue voiced her doubts.
Cousin Wang simply chuckled after hearing this, “No matter the past or future, it’s now an era where peasants are admired. Moreover, if they aren’t willing to marry a girl from a peasant family, I wouldn’t have mentioned it to you in the first place.”
“Cousin, I think I need some time to ponder.” She couldn’t promptly make a lifetime decision.
Cousin Wang nodded, “That’s right. Even after meeting, it’s not certain if it will work out.”
After wrapping up the discussion, Aunt Wang went back to her room first.
Cousin Wang lagged behind and lowered his voice, telling Feng Qingxue, “Qingxue, aside from his family situation being a concern, there’s nothing wrong with Lu Jiang in any other aspect. You will find out later. I can’t say more now.” A good catch should not end up with others.
If it weren’t for his daughter, Wang Jiao, who was utterly against it, he would have preferred to form a matrimonial relationship with Lu Zhiyuan.
Thinking of this, Cousin Wang could only sigh with regret, blaming his daughter for her poor judgment.

The daughters of other siblings were already married and had kids. Now, the only unmarried girls were Feng Qingxue and her sister Qingyun, and his own shortsighted daughter. Among them, Qingyun, who was just five years old, was not a concern.
After rejoining his siblings in the room, Cousin Wang, along with his two brothers, dug a cellar in the corner of the wall to store potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Once everything was in place and no signs were left on the surface, Cousin Wang, wiping his sweat, said, “We’ve seen each other, and the goods have been delivered. We should be heading back. It’s hard to walk when it gets dark.”
Feng Qingxue quickly removed miscellaneous grain bread and rolls from her carry-all. “Uncle, have something to eat before you leave.”
“You two keep it for yourselves.” Touching Qingyun’s head, Cousin Wang looked at Feng Qingxue affectionately, “Qingxue, think carefully about the matter I discussed with you. If you agree, let me know, so that I can ask Lu Jiang’s father to ask him to meet you during his vacation.”
“Alright.”
Hearing her clear response, Cousin Wang, carrying his empty carry-all and hemp sack, led the way out of the house.
Feng Qingxue, accompanied by her sister, went a long way to see them off. She watched them leave until they were out of sight before returning to the house.
“Big sister, our uncles and auntie are really kind.” Qingyun was the first to break the silence.
Just like Feng Qingxue, she was deeply moved and shoved the half piece of cornbread she was holding into her sister’s mouth.
Feng Qingxue didn’t refuse, “That’s why we need to show our gratitude to them in the future.”
“Yes.”
