Since the Ding Family's two grandsons had secured jobs, the threshold of their home was nearly worn down by matchmakers. Because the eldest grandson, Ding Chengdong, was a permanent worker, Old Lady Ding wanted her grandson to marry a girl from the city.
Old Lady Ding was a very cunning person; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to mistreat Ding Xiaoxia without facing blame from her husband, his family, or the villagers. She knew she couldn't speak her thoughts directly, as it would lead to gossip, so she openly declared that Ding Chengdong wouldn't discuss marriage until after turning twenty. As for the second grandson, Ding Chengliang, he was a temporary worker, and knowing that the family lacked connections and he wasn't a clever talker, she found him a good-looking and capable girl from the neighboring village.
