She's old, incapable, penniless, and naturally lacks confidence.

Qin Huairu used to listen to her.

Now, she not only won't listen to what I say, but she also argues with me and makes me stumble.

If you say too much, you might just want to confront her on the spot!

Then look at the daughter-in-law the He family married, and the relatives who came.

It’s like heaven and earth!

But even if she's envious, it's no use. Who told her that Jia Dongxu was incompetent and that she wasn't lucky enough to have him?

I can only come to the yard to get some fresh air.

Seeing her come out, Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu also came out.

There are three of us: you don't like me, and I don't like you.

But their gazes all fell on Wang Lili and Wang Pingping without prior arrangement.

These two are really capable.

Take all the blankets out of the house and air them out.

Carrying two quilts on my back, I didn't feel any effort at all.

It was as if they had inexhaustible energy.

He was working with a big smile on his face.

It seems like doing this little bit of work is a piece of cake, just something to do incidentally.

An older woman also came out.

Pretending to clean the yard, she kept observing the two sisters.

She thought to herself, "No wonder she's Zhao Ailing's daughter. She's a whiz at everything, inside and out. She's just like her mother and sister. She's so young, yet she can do so much work."

"The He family is truly blessed. They have a wonderful woman to marry, a wonderful mother-in-law, and even a presentable sister-in-law!"

Liu Haizhong and his second aunt also came over.

From the moment they entered, Liu Haizhong had his eye on the two girls.

I went home and had a good talk with my second aunt.

They have three sons.

The eldest son, Liu Guangqi, is of marriageable age, while the second son, Liu Guangtian, is about the same age as his twin sisters.

If their son were to marry the younger sister of the He family.

For the Liu family...

There are only benefits, no drawbacks!

"Old Liu, have you thought this through? They're from the countryside, they don't have household registration, and they're not subject to quotas. Whoever marries one of them will be in for a lot of trouble."

“If they were just ordinary rural girls, I wouldn’t even look at them. Don’t forget, they are He Hongyang’s sisters-in-law.”

"So what? Do you think you can benefit from He Hongyang's fame? You're the one who looks down on him the most. Don't forget that you were demoted and had your salary reduced because of him."

“A true man can bend and stretch. If our son and He Hongyang become brothers-in-law, I can also benefit from it. He is a prominent figure in the factory now. With just a few words, I might be able to become a level 5 forging worker again.”

Auntie Er was a little excited.

She didn't care whether Liu Haizhong could become an official.

What she cared about was that if he became a level 5 blacksmith, his salary would increase, and their family would be better off.

If he can really win over He Hongyang, then maybe his family will get a share when the cafeteria improves its meals in the future.

"Then introduce him to the eldest brother. Guangqi works at the factory, and he'll become He Hongyang's brother-in-law. Maybe he'll get promoted quickly. Then you two can advance together!"

Liu Haizhong also thought he was suitable.

Liu Guangqi is about the same age.

He was the most outstanding of his sons.

If he could marry He Hongyang's sister-in-law and have He Hongyang's help, wouldn't his future be limitless?

But since he started living in the dormitory, he hasn't gone home at all.

Does he expect the father to take the initiative to find his son?

He will never bow down to his own son!

“No, he doesn’t respect my hometown. I won’t think of him if there’s anything good happening in my hometown.”

"Does he think my hometown would go to him, his son? Don't forget I have three sons. Even without him, I still have two sons."

Auntie Er asked, "You're not thinking of introducing someone to your second son, are you?"

“That’s right. The second son is about the same age as the two sisters, so let him spend time with both of them and see who he likes best.”

"Wouldn't that mean we'd have to wait several more years?"

"What's wrong with waiting for several years? Anyway, they live in the He family and are supported by the He family before they get married."

"I understand what you mean. You mean to settle things first, and then let the factory people know about the relationship between our family and the He family, so we can benefit from it!"

Liu Haizhong nodded smugly: "You've been following me for years, and you've finally learned a little bit. That's exactly what I was thinking. Let's take advantage of the He family first."

"Don't forget we're the men. Even if our son changes his mind and finds a better woman, he can just dump her, and we won't lose anything."

Second Aunt thought this was a good idea.

Moreover, she believed that as long as she mentioned it to the He family, the two young girls would be eager to marry her son.

They come from the countryside.

Many rural girls rack their brains trying to find a boyfriend from the city.

Once you marry into the city, you can settle down there and never have to go back to the countryside to farm.

"Let's hurry up and go, or someone else will take it."

"Women are really short-sighted and have long hair. What's the rush? Even if we go, we'll go see which of these two sisters is better first."

"Don't forget that they're marrying into our Liu family. Our Liu family is one of the top families in this courtyard. It's their good fortune to marry into our family. We should be the ones choosing them, not the other way around."

The two people arrived at the Intermediate People's Court.

Watch the two sisters busily working.

The second aunt never expected that they were not only beautiful, but also so capable.

No wonder they're twins.

At first glance, it's impossible to tell which one is the older sister and which one is the younger sister.

Their only drawback is that they come from the countryside.

If they weren't from the countryside, all the young men in the courtyard would probably fight tooth and nail to get them!

Their older sister, Wang Liying, has been married to He Hongyang for many years.

She was known for her virtuousness.

These two younger sisters must be quite good too.

It would be such a waste if her second son were to marry only one of them.

Why not just settle the marriage of the eldest son as well?

Pulling on Liu Haizhong's hair, she whispered, "Since they're two sisters anyway, why not give one to each of our sons? Then we can find a matchmaker, use one dowry, and marry both sisters. Wouldn't that be more cost-effective?"

Liu Haizhong thought for a moment and said, "That's possible, but I just can't stand Liu Guangqi's behavior. Let's just wait until Guangtian has picked the leftovers and then give them to his brother."

"Is there even a need to choose? They look exactly alike. Whichever one it is, the brothers will be willing to accept it."

"Can they really support these two sisters?"

“I know my son best. Not to mention them, even the young men in our courtyard would be unable to take their eyes off these two sisters.”

"What a loser. When it comes to marrying a woman, it's not just about her being pretty; she also has to be capable."

“Look how capable they are, there’s no job they can’t do, whether it’s washing or cleaning.”

"When I say capable, I mean how much help their family can provide. If they can't help at all, what's the use of just being pretty and good at housework?"

“Aren’t they He Hongyang? If we marry them, our son will be brothers-in-law with He Hongyang, and he will definitely help us.”

“What you said makes sense. Two brothers marrying two sisters is a beautiful story, and it makes me, Liu Haizhong, proud.”

"Then it's settled. I'll go sound them out first."

Auntie Er came up to the two of them.

"You must be Hongyang's wife's younger sister? I'm the second aunt from the backyard, and this is my husband. He also works at the steel mill and is your brother-in-law's colleague."

The two girls didn't know them at all.

However, upon learning that they were neighbors and also the elder brother's colleagues...

I greeted them politely: "Hello."

"Girls from the countryside are so sensible. They start working as soon as they arrive. All the women in your Wang family are virtuous and capable."

Upon hearing her praising herself.

The two men laughed and said, "This is no big deal. We used to do this all the time when we were at home."

"You two are so capable at home, have matchmakers already come to your door to introduce you to potential partners?"

Why would she ask such a question?

Is it true that all women her age love to meddle in other people's business?

He shook his head and said, "We're still young, there's no rush at all."

Upon hearing that they hadn't spoken ill of the other person, Aunt Er beamed with joy.

Zhao Ailing must have given her daughter some instructions beforehand.

Now that the eldest daughter has married into the city and is enjoying a comfortable life with He Hongyang.

So the remaining daughters probably won't stay in the village either.

"I don't know what kind of people you're looking for. Have you ever thought about marrying someone from Beijing someday?"

She's so concerned; she asked about this as soon as we met.

Besides, they are young women; even if they have something on their minds, they wouldn't tell outsiders.

Are they saying they want to find a man like their brother-in-law in the future?

Although they were new to the area, they had already met quite a few city people.

I'm looking for a man like my brother-in-law, but there simply isn't one!

An older woman hurriedly approached Jia Zhangshi.

"See? She's finding a wife (Zhao Ma's) for her son."

"What do you mean by 'wife'? I don't understand what you're saying."

"She had her eye on two girls and wanted to keep them for her sons. Don't forget that the Liu family has three sons, but none of them are married."

Madam Jia suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. No wonder Liu Haizhong came out with a big smile on his face. But they're from the countryside. Do you think the Liu family would want them?"

“So what if they’re from the countryside? Your daughter-in-law is from the countryside too. Besides, they’re beautiful and capable. Who wouldn’t be envious? If I had a son, I would be happy for him to marry them.”

Jia Zhangshi agreed with this statement.

Although they all come from the countryside, they are different from their daughters-in-law.

You can tell just by looking at their mother and sister.

The Wang family's daughter is naturally well-mannered, beautiful, and knows how to work.

She only regretted that her son had already gotten married and married Qin Huairu.

Otherwise, she would have made them her daughters-in-law.

If you end up with a daughter-in-law like that.
