Inside the Zhou family home, a scene of cheerful harmony unfolded, with Zhou Xueli keeping Old Lady Zhou company to one side, his eyes never leaving the girl opposite him who was hanging her head low, her face so red it seemed she might bleed.
Old Lady Zhou noticed this, her face lit up with a smile, but then she spat dismissively and said, "Xueli, you silly boy, what are you staring at the girl for? Hurry to the village head and buy two pounds of pork to bring back, so your sister-in-law can start cooking!"
Zhou Xueli's face turned red, he let out an "ai" sound, tugged at his short tunic, reluctantly glanced at Miss Liang, and left with a three-steps-one-look-back gait.
Seeing this, the Liang family shared a glance, their eyes gleaming with pride. It looked as if the Zhou family was overwhelmingly pleased with their daughter.
Indeed, accompanying the main party for the matchmaking visit, besides Scholar Liang's wife, were Miss Liang's brother and sister-in-law.
