Auntie ranted on all by herself, with Su Xiaowan and her older cousin, Song Yongyu, listening on the side.
Su Xiaowan occasionally interjected, the two of them talked about everything from sewing machines to suitcases, and clothes, kitchen utensils and daily necessities.
As for her older cousin, Song Yongyu, she blushed on the side and said, "Mom, Xiao Wan, what are you both doing? Discussing dowry in front of an unmarried girl? And besides, no one has even proposed yet. Why are you so antsy?"
Upon hearing this, Auntie disagreed, "Why shouldn't we hurry? You young folks nowadays, you say you're getting married and bam, you get a certificate at the Civil Affairs Bureau, and it's all over in the blink of an eye."
