Madam Zhao smiled and said, “Okay.”
Madam Zhao was considerate and made Madam Qian feel very comfortable. After so many years, the two of them were very close.
They ended the conversation with an unspoken mutual understanding.
When Su Sanlang and Chen Hu returned, everyone tacitly did not mention this.
After they finished selling the sauerkraut and pickles, they went home together. After returning home, the couple finally made eye contact.
Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao looked at each other and smiled. The two of them seemed to have telepathy. Su Sanlang smiled and said, “Good things take time. If it’s really fated, there will definitely be a good outcome.”
Madam Zhao smiled and said, “Yes.”
On the other side, Chen Hu and Madam Qian also exchanged glances and tacitly returned to their room.
After returning to the house and closing the door, Madam Qian said, “Hu, Big Brother told you too, right?”
Chen Hu nodded. “Yes, I’m a little worried. I don’t know what to do.”
Madam Qian sighed and said, “Hu, I’m also worried. The Niu family’s family background is so good. I’m afraid that Daniu and Erniu will have to be humble in the future. What if they change their minds and take concubines?”
Chen Hu frowned when he heard this. He had not thought of this. Hearing Madam Qian say this, Chen Hu said awkwardly, “I don’t think they’ll take concubines. It’s not like our Daniu and Erniu can’t have children.”
“Why not? Which man doesn’t like beautiful concubines? The Niu family doesn’t lack money.”
In Chen Hu’s opinion, unless the main wife could not have children, there would be no concubines.
What he was worried about was that the difference between the Niu family and his family was too great. Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu would be humble in that family. However, after hearing Madam Qian’s words, Chen Hu felt that it made sense.
However, he quickly shook his head and said to Madam Qian seriously, “Darling, those who like beautiful concubines don’t understand the responsibility of being a husband. Not all men are like this. Look at Big Brother and me. Big Brother’s Family Rules also stipulate that Hua and Chong can only marry one wife in the future.”

There were many beautiful women in this world, and there was no end to them.
Only men who did not understand the responsibilities of being a husband would indulge in debauchery. In his opinion, debauchery was not true happiness at all. Those that were exchanged for money were just a pretense. There was always no warmth.

His wife, on the other hand, was different. Only warm food, clean clothes, and sensible children could warm his heart.

“Where are you going? We’re talking about Daniu and Erniu.”
Madam Qian blushed and said in embarrassment.
However, when she recalled Chen Hu’s words, her heart warmed.
Chen Hu rubbed his head and said, “Darling, why don’t we ask Daniu and Erniu what they think? After all, they were the ones who will marry in the future. Coincidentally, they’ve also seen the Niu brothers.”
Madam Qian nodded and agreed. “Alright, after dinner tonight, let’s ask Daniu and Erniu about it.”
Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu were both of suitable age for marriage. If they met a good family, they should settle down.
In Madam Qian and Chen Hu’s opinion, the Niu brothers were too good, which was why they were worried.
However, no matter what, he had to tell Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu in the end and let them make a decision.
After dinner.
Madam Zhao asked Chen Shi to wash Chen Xing’s face and feet, and the couple called Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu into the room.
Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu were puzzled.
Chen Daniu was already 16 years old, and Chen Erniu was also 15 years old. The two sisters were also slender and elegant. They were not beautiful and were very ordinary, but they were gentle and kind. After looking at them for a long time, they became more and more attractive.
The two sisters were not shy and often helped in the shop. They were capable girls who could speak well and manage things.
Madam Qian pulled her two daughters to her side and looked at the two of them gently. Then, she said, “Daniu, Erniu, you’ve both grown up.”
Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu were still guessing what was going on. When they heard Madam Qian’s words, the two sisters immediately knew what was going on.
Chen Daniu was fine. After all, she had experienced it once and was very calm. She smiled at Madam Qian and called out softly, “Mother.”
This was the first time Chen Erniu had experienced such a thing. She was in a shy and curious state. Her face turned red immediately and she called out ‘mother’ very softly.
Madam Qian smiled and held their hands. “Daniu, Erniu, let me tell you. This time, two brothers came to ask about you sisters. You’ve seen them before. They’re the two children who recently came to our house to move sauerkraut and pickles. The elder is called Niu Xibao, and the one he likes is the Daniu. The younger one is called Niu Xian, and the one he likes is Erniu.”
“Tell Father and Mother about your impression of the two brothers.”
Madam Qian asked gently while Chen Hu listened quietly.
Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu thought of Niu Xibao and Niu Xian.
Chen Daniu said truthfully, “Niu Xibao is quite diligent and honest in his work. The two brothers should have a good relationship.”

Chen Erniu blushed and said, “Sister is right. They’re not bad.”
Madam Qian continued, “They are the grandsons of Shopkeeper Niu.”
“Uh… Shopkeeper Niu’s grandsons, is Shopkeeper Niu the shopkeeper who works with us?”
Chen Daniu asked.
Madam Qian nodded. “Yes, that’s Shopkeeper Niu. In terms of family background, the Niu family is extremely good. If you agree, your future will be good.”
“Father and Mother are worried that the Niu family’s family background is too good. You sisters might be bullied. I’m afraid that in the future, when they change their minds, other women will come to fight with you.”
Madam Qian looked worried. This was what she was most worried about. It was also because of this that she did not want to be in-laws with a family like the Niu family.
Chen Erniu immediately recalled Su Yufang snatching Xu Bowen and frowned.
Chen Daniu frowned and said resolutely to Madam Qian, “Mother, actually, no matter who we marry, Erniu and I might face such a thing. It’s not that they won’t do such a thing without money. I think instead of hoping that our future husbands won’t be disloyal, it’s better to make ourselves unique.”

“Sis, you’re right. If my husband has a change of heart in the future, I won’t swallow my anger. I believe I can live without him.”

Chen Erniu looked at Chen Daniu with admiration in her eyes. She also voiced her opinion.
After what happened last time, Chen Daniu had matured a lot. Her changes had actually affected Chen Erniu.
After coming to town for half a year, Chen Daniu would work hard to read when she was free. Chen Erniu also learned from her and even became friends with Lin Yaoyao. Her thoughts had changed a lot, and their willpower was stronger. It was just that they had yet to discover it.

Madam Qian and Chen Hu were stunned and did not know what to say.
Madam Qian came back to her senses. She knew that her two daughters had grown up and were different from her. Madam Qian smiled and said, “Putting aside these worries, Father and Mother actually think very highly of the Niu brothers. What about you?”
