Everyone felt touched by Aunt Liu's words, realizing the difference it made to have the support and care of one's parental home, especially when men proved unreliable, and one's family provided a temporary refuge.
Qi Daniu nodded and said, "Thank you, Mom. I've noted it, and even after I get married, I'll continue to be good to you and dad."
"Good child," said Aunt Liu, her eyes brimming with tears. She had raised such a fine girl, only to give her away to someone else.
Ah, such is the way with raising daughters—they all must marry and leave home.
It was fortunate that Daniu was a teacher at the elementary school and had built a house in Qijia Village. Since she was close by, visits would be easier in the future.
After that, the matchmaker and the groom's family friends came over one after another.
When Qi Daniu's husband, Song Ming, saw his wife, his eyes lit up. She looked really beautiful today, all smiles and happiness.
