Shen Zhu placed the sleeping Ruanruan into the cradle. Seeing that Zi Yi and Jingshu had gone to sleep as well, she walked towards the three people who were chatting. She just happened to hear Su Yixuan's rejection so she stopped to think for a moment.

"How about this?"

Shen Zhu had a plan in his mind, he walked towards the three of them, "I opened a pastry shop in the town, and it's about to open soon, the shop is currently lacking manpower, why don't you stay and help? I'll give you the starting money, three silver per month."

"This wages are too much, I …" Su Yixuan was about to reject, but before he could finish, he was interrupted.

"Big brother, you deserve the money. What's more, you're getting married now, so it's good that you saved up some silver. When the time comes, you can buy a yard in town and bring over Second Uncle and Second Aunt." Shen Zhu spoke in an orderly manner.

"If you don't want us to spend this silver to repair the old house, then just treat it as me borrowing the silver from the Brother Wen. You can return it to us when you have the money."

Since Shen Zhu had already said this much, it would be unreasonable for him to reject again.

Su Zhiyan nodded and did not say anymore.

Su Zongwen saw that Shen Zhu had persuaded the two of them with just a few words, and he couldn't help but admire her wife in his heart.

Shen Zhu felt that a gaze had been fixated on him this entire time, and as he turned his head, he coincidentally met Su Zongwen's burning gaze. He lowered his head in embarrassment.

Su Zhiyan and his son stayed at Shen Zhu's place for a long time.

Su Zongwen just so happened to be resting for the day, so he accompanied the two of them and chatted for the better part of a day.

Naturally, Su Zhiyan's family was exceptionally happy that the marriage between Su Yixuan and the Ah Qiu had been decided. Shen Zhu thought that with such a huge matter, he should return to celebrate with Su Zhizhong and the others. After that, he should look for the Village Chief to discuss the matter of repairing the house.

"Why don't we go back together in the afternoon and talk to Father about these things?"

Su Zongwen was a wife's slave, so he naturally would not refute whatever Shen Zhu said.

Shen Zhu cleaned up a bit. After the children woke up, he followed Su Zhiyan and the others out of the manor.

Su Zongwen hired a carriage that was slightly bigger and went to buy some things. Only then did the group return to the village.

The carriage stopped in front of Su Zhizhong's house, and after the group got off, Su Yixuan went back to call his family over to eat dinner, while Su Zhiyan followed Shen Zhu and the others into the house.

Inside the room, Su Zhizhong, Madame Chen and the others were discussing the marriage between Su Yixuan and Ah Qiu.

"Big brother, sister-in-law." Su Zhiyan shouted out a few words towards the few of them.

"Second Uncle." Hearing the voice, Su Yunyan was the first to turn his head, and just as he finished calling out to Second Uncle, his expression froze, and in the next second, he immediately jumped down from the brick bed and ran towards Shen Zhu, "Big brother, sister-in-law, why are you guys here?"

"Yue Niang, Zong Wen, why have you two returned?"

Madame Chen got off the brick bed happily and walked up to welcome him.

"Grandfather. Grandmother."

Zi Yi and Jingshu shouted sweetly.

"Ah ~" Madame Chen smiled as he responded. He rubbed the two children's heads and took the things held in Su Zongwen's hands.

"It's a joyous occasion that our Big Brother has set the wedding date. We should all gather together to celebrate, and we should also fix up our house and second uncle's house as well."

Su Zongwen explained quickly.

Hearing that, the Madame Chen did not ask any further, and only welcomed the person inside the house happily and sat him down.

"Little Yan, has the matter been settled?"

Su Zhizhong looked at his younger brother who was walking towards the brick bed, and a smile appeared on his face.

"It's done, I'm very satisfied with my own family." Su Zhiyan nodded.

"That's good." Seeing that, Su Zhizhong changed the topic and started talking about other things.

Su Yixuan was already old, and Su Zhizhong knew that his brother and sister-in-law were very anxious about their eldest son's marriage. The two of them picked a day yesterday, and only then did they set the tenth day of the third month.

Originally, he was worried that Ah Qiu's mother wouldn't be able to bear to part with her daughter, so he didn't agree to marriage so early. Fortunately, Aunt Liu was very open-minded, so he quickly agreed after chatting with Su Zhiyan for a while.

and Su Zhiyan were sitting on the brick bed chatting, and the others also consciously didn't go forward to disturb them. Madame Chen took Ruanruan from Shen Zhu's embrace, and while teasing him, he also asked about Su Zongwen's situation.

On the other hand, Su Ziyi and Jingshu went outside to play.

Seeing that it was getting late, Shen Zhu bade farewell to Madame Chen, and went into the kitchen to busy himself with dinner. Seeing that, Su Yunyan immediately followed.

"Sister-in-law, what are we going to eat tonight?" Other than gossips, what Su Yunyan cared about the most was eating. More importantly, it was the food that Shen Zhu cooked.

"Let's make some dumplings first. The dumplings are a good meal. Tonight, we will eat the dumplings."

Shen Zhu got help to make the noodles while he started to prepare the stuffing.

Not long after, Su Yixuan brought the rest of the people over, but Su Yian saw the two children from far away, so she ran over to play without even entering the door, while Su Qingyi went into the kitchen to take a sniff, and she guessed that Shen Zhu was definitely in the kitchen.

Only Su Yixuan and Madame Xu entered the hall. When the Madame Chen saw that the Madame Xu had arrived, he did not continue asking him and instead went to chat with him.

In the kitchen.

Shen Zhu fried fish tonight, then made sweet and sour fish, fried pig ears, three vegetarian dishes, and finally made an egg roll. There was also a Clear Fruit and a Three Fresh Soup.

Su Qingyi and Su Yunyan immediately helped to carry the prepared dishes out. At the same time, the big two who were playing crazily outside seemed to have smelled the fragrance of the food and ran back together.

"Sister-in-law, what did you cook today?" "It smells so good." Once Su Yian entered, he ran into the kitchen and stuck his head in, looking around.

"What are you looking at? Why aren't you helping me bring the soup out?"

Su Yunyan had just carried a dish out, and returned to see that Su Yian was peeking through the door frame, when a chestnut suddenly smashed onto his head.

"Su Yunyan, can't you be a little more gentle, or you'll be beaten silly!"

Su Yian covered his head and squatted on the ground as he cried out in pain, looking at Su Yunyan with an aggrieved expression.

"Are you smart now?" Su Yunyan rolled his eyes at him, and kicked him on the way out.

Therefore, Su Yian's miserable wails instantly reverberated in the whole cabin — —

The group of people had already gotten used to it, so when Su Yian saw that no one was paying attention to him, he consciously went to wash his hands and bring the dishes over, then called for everyone to sit and eat.

Shen Zhu had specially brought a jar of rice wine from the Villa today, as well as a jar of fruit wine. The fruit wine was given to the two girls, Madame Chen and the Madame Xu to drink.

Thinking about it, since everyone was happy because Su Yixuan had decided to get married, Su Zhiyan and Su Zhizhong drank a few more cups.

The rice wine may not have been of a high standard, but it had a strong aftertaste. After a few cups, both of them became a little drunk.

After finishing the meal, the sky had already turned slightly dark. Shen Zhu had initially wanted to help tidy up the mess, but because it was getting late in the night in Madame Chen, she refused as she was afraid that it would not be easy to go back in time. Not only that, she also told Su Zhiyan's family to go back earlier.

When the two families heard this, they did not say anymore. On the side, Su Yixuan and Su Yian supported the slightly drunk Su Zhiyan, while Su Qingyi held onto Madame Xu's arm. The five people bid farewell to the few people in the room and left.

On the other side, Shen Zhu was carrying Ruanruan. Su Zongwen was holding two children.

The room was naturally left for Madame Chen and Su Yunyan to clean up.
