“Fifth Sister-in-law, have you heard that my father-in-law and mother-in-law are looking for a daughter-in-law for my second brother?” Ms. Yan asked.

Qiao Xuan nodded, saying, “Yes, that’s quite common.”

Ms. Yan let out a sigh and continued, “Yes. Second Brother is still young, but he already has two children. Despite that, his family is doing well, and many people are willing to marry him. According to my mother-in-law, even a 15 or 16-year-old girl is willing to become his wife, which makes her feel very proud.”

“But can a 15 or 16-year-old girl truly be a stepmother to her own grandchildren?” Qiao Xuan replied with a knowing smile.

Understanding her point, Ms. Yan said, “I can’t hide anything from you, Fifth Sister-in-law.” She blushed slightly and continued, “On my mother’s side, I have a cousin who is a widow. She is about the same age as Second Brother and has a kind-hearted and down-to-earth nature. However, she hasn’t been lucky. After her husband, the only son in the family, pa.s.sed away, her husband’s clan pressured her to adopt a child around seven or eight years old to carry on the family lineage.”

“Think about it, Fifth Sister-in-law. How can we adopt a child who is already aware of his biological parents? How can he not feel attached to them? Even if we adopt him, it would just be raising someone else’s son. My cousin refused, so she returned to her maternal family.”

“While her parents, brothers, and sister-in-law are supportive, relying on them in the future after her parents pa.s.s away may not be ideal. Since Second Brother is looking for a daughter-in-law, my mother wants to propose this idea for her. What do you think, Fifth Sister-in-law?”

Ms. Yan knew that Qiao Xuan understood the situation.

Although the first section of the family had severed ties with the second section, they wouldn’t turn a blind eye if something truly happened to the second section.

As for the second section of the family, they would undoubtedly be satisfied with their daughter-in-law chosen by the first section.

Ms. Yan sought Qiao Xuan’s opinion because she knew that Fifth Sister-in-law was clever and had a plan in mind. If she could help, it would be easier for her family to navigate this matter.

However, Ms. Yan had no intention of informing her father-in-law and mother-in-law about the proposal. While her father-in-law might be accepting, her mother-in-law would certainly react with anger. If she were to suggest it, it would be met with immediate rejection.

On the other hand, Second Brother was currently occupied with his work in the workshop, and his father and brothers treated him well. If they were to approach him and suggest meeting his potential daughter-in-law, he would likely agree without much hesitation. Once he gave his approval, there would be no issues with their father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Qiao Xuan hoped that the second section of the family would marry a reliable woman to avoid any potential troubles. After the incident with Ms. Zhang, they couldn’t afford to let their guard down.

“Is your cousin truly a good person?” Qiao Xuan inquired.

Ms. Yan nodded, a smile gracing her face. “Of course, I can vouch for her!”

Qiao Xuan smiled, finding rea.s.surance in Ms. Yan’s response. It made sense that Ms. Yan wouldn’t accept her cousin if she wasn’t genuinely good-hearted, considering she would become her sister-in-law upon marriage.

“I will discuss it with my mother-in-law first, and then I’ll let you know,” Qiao Xuan a.s.sured.

“Alright, I’ll wait for you, Fifth Sister-in-law,” Ms. Yan replied with a smile.

“Don’t worry, I’ll come again this evening!”

When Qiao Xuan relayed the proposal to Ms. Fang, she also believed it was for the best. Ms. Yan desired a good match for Shao Erlang more than anyone else, so she was likely to support the idea.

After delivering the message to Ms. Yan, the first section of the family set off for the province the following day.

The villagers couldn’t help but feel envious. The first section of the Shao Family had achieved great success, and everyone in their family had gained recognition. Many villagers had never dared to dream of going to the province in their lifetime, yet the Shao Family went there so effortlessly.

Concerned that Ms. Niu might divulge the engagement plans to Shao Erlang, Ms. Yan decided to tell her mother straight away.
