"Old Fourth, both you and your wife should keep an eye out. Look for a daughter-in-law for Sanlang from an ordinary farmstead, a child who's honest and capable is enough... Sanlang's wife must have big feet," Old Master Lian continued.
The women of the tenant farmers couldn't follow the doctrine of "not leaving the inner door or stepping beyond the second gate."

Even if they went down to the fields, they couldn't match the work efficiency of the women with big feet.
