The old lady and Lan Hua looked at each other, thinking, "Do you speak of yourself this way?"
Is it audacious to play matchmaker for yourself? Are you considering yourself as a ferocious beast?
The old lady glared at her, feeling annoyed. She then said, "There have been several matchmakers, but as soon as I heard that they wanted to arrange a marriage for you, I straightforwardly rejected them. I didn't even bother listening. I simply said that you haven't come of age yet, to avoid giving the impression that you looked down on them. It wouldn't be good if people knew their names and status, and I still rejected them. They might think you were rejecting them."
Shu Yu gave the old lady a thumbs-up. "Grandmother, you're truly wise."
Lan Hua envied her. "I wish my mother could do the same."
However, they didn't know that even though the old lady rejected them without knowing the other party's status, it still made people think that Shu Yu, the newly titled county lord, considered herself above others.
In fact, compared to Shu Yu, there were even more people who came to propose to Shu You.
Shu Yu was the village lord, so people who were slightly unsuitable didn't dare to come forward. But Shu You was different. In the eyes of many, she had been divorced, but she was still young and untouched, making many people eager to try their luck, thinking they might have a chance.
It wasn't just in the county town; even in Shishi Village, some people thought this way.
Lan Hua had seen it herself. The person who came was looking for Li Shi and spoke as if they had set their eyes on Shu You, as if they had taken advantage of her. Even Li Shi couldn't bear it. After all, if Da Ya married poorly, it would also affect her daughter. So she directly kicked the person out.
The old lady snorted when she heard about this. "Next time someone like that comes, just kick them out. We don't need to trouble others with Shu You's marriage. In a little while, your second uncle and I will pick an auspicious day and arrange the marriage."
Lan Hua widened her eyes. "Grandmother, you mean..."
The old lady nodded slightly, a smile playing on her lips. "Hmm, the person has good character."
Lan Hua was extremely curious. "Who is it?"
"You'll see in a few days."
Lan Hua was itching with curiosity, but since the old lady didn't want to say, she immediately turned her head to look at Shu Yu.
However, Shu Yu's lips were even tighter than the old lady's. Naturally, she wouldn't tell her.
Lan Hua felt extremely disappointed. She had just wanted to try again when she saw a figure getting off a mule cart.
Lan Hua froze. "Third Aunt?"
Liang Shi stepped up the stairs and entered the shop with quick steps. When she saw Lan Hua, she was also surprised and nodded casually. "Oh, it's Lan Hua. You're also in the county town."
Then she looked inside the counter. "Is Ah Yu here?"
The old lady thought to herself, both the eldest daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law, these two troublesome people. They either don't come or come together, causing a lot of trouble.
"what are you here for?" the old lady asked.
Liang Shi saw Shu Yu and hastily said, "Ah Yu, please help me. I don't have enough money."
Shu Yu raised her head. "What money do you lack?"
"I don't have enough money to buy a house," Liang Shi said with a bitter face. "Could you lend me fifty taels of silver? I only need fifty taels."
Even Lan Hua was shocked. Third Aunt had such courage. She was borrowing fifty taels, and that was silver.
Shu Yu didn't understand. "Didn't third Uncle say it was enough before?" He even said there was more than enough.
Could it be that housing prices in the southern part of the city had risen so quickly in such a short time?
The old lady stopped Shu Yu from lending her the money. "Third daughter-in-law, why did you come to ask Ah Yu for money? Does your husband know about this?"
