"What, a fool? That's not acceptable. I don't want a foolish son-in-law. If word gets out, people will laugh us out of town." Mrs. Shen shook her head in disagreement.
Eldest Sister-in-law Shen chuckled, "Mom, don't rush to say no. Even if that man isn't very bright, he's the only son. His father is a government official; his mother works at the Women's Federation; his grandparents are retired high-ranking officials. Their family income is hundreds a month. Their household is quite good; it's likely they wouldn't even consider our eldest daughter."
Mrs. Shen slapped her thigh with excitement, her face full of wrinkles from smiling, "Oh dear, such a good family—we can't let our eldest daughter miss out. Her father, write it down quickly, get her back for a meeting. If we miss this village, there might not be that store."
Mr. Shen also thought this was a very good match.
If they could connect with high-ranking officials, then the Shen family would certainly flourish.
