As soon as she returned from her parents' village, she heard people saying that the eldest Zhou household had two respectable relatives visiting, who had even given candy to the village kids. After asking around, she learned it was Qiaohui's male cousin, female cousin, and cousin's husband who had arrived.
'I'd asked Wu Shufang last time to help find an opportunity for Qiaoyan, to take her out to the city to earn some money. If things went well, she could find a husband there, and I'd even give them a share of the bride price.'
'But that cheapskate Wu Shufang was probably afraid Qiaoyan would steal opportunities from her own daughter, Qiaohui. So Qiaohui and her male cousin just left on the quiet.'
Wu Shufen's expression immediately soured. "Aunt Zhou, finding a husband isn't that easy. Besides, they've been traveling all day and are already asleep. You should head home."
