Chapter 61 -61: When a woman turns 30, she embraces a gold brick
Knowing her daughter wasn’t unwilling but worried about the age issue,
Mrs. Lu stern-faced, took her daughter’s hand and said, “What’s the problem, other people say women three years older are like gold bricks.
Xiao Sun is only a year younger than you, practically the same age.”
“But mom, I’m a divorced woman, can I still…”
Seeing her distressed daughter, Aunt Su Liu Fen felt a twinge in her heart, hugged her daughter tightly, and patted her on the back.
“Don’t worry, Xiao Sun knew about it from the first day he met you, stop worrying needlessly.”
“As long as you like him too, I’ll call your sister-in-law tomorrow.”
Su Xianyue hugged her mother’s broad waist and nodded, her voice thick with emotion.
“Yes, I’ll go with mom; I want to talk to my sister-in-law.”
“Okay, after lunch tomorrow, we’ll make the call.”
Uncle Su only found out the next morning and left for work shocked.
“Look at your father’s face; his mouth could fit an egg.”
Aunt Su Liu Fen recalled her husband’s expression just now and laughed until tears came.
Su Xianyue felt a bit embarrassed, stomped her foot, “Mom~”
“Alright, alright, mom won’t talk anymore.”
Aunt Su watched her daughter who had just acted coquettishly and wiped the corner of her eye. Her daughter had finally regained some of her girlish charm.
It was all that wretched old woman’s fault, turning her lovely daughter into this.
Her Xianyue used to be cheerful and lively too.

“Really? Okay, I’ll tell Xiao Sun in a bit.”
“From what I know of Xiao Sun, he’s a responsible and ambitious person; I believe he’ll definitely treat Xianyue well.”
…
After hanging up, Susu paid the money at the small shop and headed towards the bungalows.
Usually a ten-minute walk, Susu took almost twenty minutes.
As things weren’t settled between the two families yet, Susu decided to talk to Xiao Sun alone about it.
“Really, Sister Su? That’s great, I’ll catch the last bus back this afternoon.”
Xiao Sun’s face flushed with excitement, and he was somewhat incoherent.
“Thank you, Sister Su. I promise I’ll treat Xianyue well and never let her be sad.”
Susu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and gave Xiao Sun a knock on the head.
“Not even close and look at you, making no sense.”
“I’ll give you a day off tomorrow. Get everything sorted and I’ll await your good news.”
“Hehehe, thank you, Sister Su.”
That afternoon, everyone saw Xiao Sun occasionally giggling to himself, and they all couldn’t stop laughing.
That very afternoon, Xiao Sun, holding pastries and sweets bought specially from the Department Store in Provincial City, rushed back to the county.
Staring at the yard for a long time, his heart was so nervous it was about to jump out of his throat.
“Hey, Xiao Sun, why don’t you come in?”
Father Lu happened to be passing by on his bicycle.
“Lu, Uncle Lu.”
Father Lu was puzzled as he watched the young man stutter and nearly trip over his own feet.
The scenario that followed was five against one.
Xiao Sun looked at the five elders opposite him, nervously swallowed his saliva.
With a dry throat, he finally spoke, “Uncle, Aunt, my name is Sun Hao. I only have grandparents above me; my parents passed away when I was young.
I’m making around a hundred each month now, and I plan to rent a place in Provincial City and bring my grandparents over.
My grandparents are quite agile,…”
The three women nodded in approval.
“Do grandma and grandpa know about Xian Yue’s situation?”
“They do.”
Xiao Sun’s eyes were resolute. After learning about Xian Yue’s past experiences, his grandparents sighed heavily.
“Uncle, Auntie, I will surely treat Xian Yue well, I swear.”
Aunt Su watched Xiao Sun as he swore and thumped his chest in assurance, smiling and nodding.
“Xiao Sun, Auntie wants to know what you see in our Xian Yue.”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s gaze turned towards Xiao Sun sitting across from them.
Xiao Sun scratched his head sheepishly, having felt that this girl was gentle and soft since the first time he had met Sister Xian Yue.
The more he saw her, the more he couldn’t help but have his gaze drift towards her.
Aunt Su slapped her thigh, “See, this must be what Old Blind Man called fate right before our eyes.”
Uncle Su and his wife were initially a bit anxious, but after meeting the people, they felt reassured.
In these times, when both sides looked at each other as potential partners, they needed someone to bridge the gap, and Aunt Su eagerly volunteered to be the matchmaker for both families.
Had it not been so late, they would have discussed the matter with Xiao Sun’s grandparents that very day.
The next morning, the three generations of the Sun Family rose early.
Granny Sun even dug out the only set of clothes without patches that the old couple owned.
“Old man, how’s my hair? Not messy?”
“Not messy at all.”
“Oh dear, you hurry up and tidy your beard. Don’t embarrass our grandson by looking all scruffy.”
“Got it, got it, bring me some water for washing.”
Xiao Sun, hearing his grandparents bustling about, grinned widely while inspecting his outfit.
“Granny, please check quickly. Does this look okay? Is it smart?”
Granny Sun rushed into the room and circled her grandson, nodding her head.
“It’s good, very smart.”
Hearing someone knocking at the courtyard door, the Sun family scrambled to welcome the guests inside.
Aunt Su looked at the well-prepared family of three and nodded satisfactorily.
“The New Yard”
“Auntie, rest assured, we only have this one grandson and we surely won’t hold the kids back. There’s nothing about setting rules for daughters-in-law at our house. If Xian Yue marries into our family, it will be the young couple who will make their own decisions.
While we’re still able to move around, we don’t need the children to look after us. We can still help with laundry and cooking. The kids just need to look after themselves…”
Aunt Liu Fen, hearing Granny Sun’s words, slowly smiled.
“Auntie, I won’t hide from you, my Xian Yue has had a hard life. The woman in her previous household was either scolding or hitting her every day, grinding down my daughter until she wasn’t herself anymore.
Thankfully, our daughter-in-law is kind-hearted and let Xian Yue work for her, making a decent wage each month.
Otherwise, she’d still be at home enduring her two sisters-in-law wrestling and griping about their little sister-in-law visiting her parental home.”
Aunt wiped away tears, thankful that her daughter now had her own money, which kept her sons’ wives from disrespecting her.
Whenever she returned, they would compete to invite her to meals.
Both families hit it off right away, and arranged the children’s engagement that very day.
Aunt carried the couple’s birth dates and visited Old Blind Man with some locally made liquor.
Upon receiving the auspicious prediction from Old Blind Man, she returned home beaming.
When Susu saw Xiao Sun again, she noticed the young man’s face beaming with joy.
Susu teased, “I could see your bright smile from miles away! Are you that happy?”
“Hehehe.”
Xiao Sun scratched his head, grinning, “Sister Su, Xian Yue and my arrangement has been settled.”
