It's very common for mothers to help their daughters screen potential suitors in township areas.
"You've never really been in love—you're easily deceived. Listen to me, love requires caution," Mother Tang admonished.
"Mom, I got it. I'm going to change clothes now," Tang Guihua tried to nudge her mother out of the room.
But Mother Tang still had more to say and refused to leave.
"Let me teach you some experience," Mother Tang said.
"Mom, you don't need to teach me. Can I have some peace and quiet, please?" Tang Guihua said.

Luo Yang returned to Qin Piao's house, Fang Lin had already gone to the Village Office.
Only Hong Jiaxin, Qin Piao, and An Yuying were there.
Luo Yang's business in the village hadn't really started operating yet, and although Qin Piao helped him with work, she usually had quite a bit of free time.
Once the factory and the like were up and running, everyone would be busy.
Luo Yang said, "Sister An, I'll go treat your mom first. Squad leader, Sister Piao, you guys chat."
An Yuying then went downstairs with Luo Yang.
After exiting, they headed towards An Yuying's house.
Indeed, this method could get An Yuying out, to have a chat.
"Sister An," Luo Yang smiled.
"I'm heading to school. It's not like I'm following you. What do you need me for?" An Yuying playfully chided.
"Sister An, go to your class then. I'll head to the school with the squad leader too. We can chat more when I get back," Luo Yang said.
Seeing her facial expression soften, he knew everything was fine.
"Sister An, do you need to buy anything? I can pick it up for you on the way," Luo Yang offered.
"No need. I'm not lacking anything," An Yuying said in a coquettish voice.
The two chatted as they slowly walked on.
"When will you be back? Are you eating dinner at school, or are you going home to eat?" An Yuying inquired.
He would generally make it back before evening.
Of course, that was if everything went as planned.
If he needed to take some time to teach someone a lesson for Dai Bao Jian, it might take a while.
"I should be eating at home. Sister An, see you this afternoon," Luo Yang said quietly.
"Last night Guihua said she wanted to move in with Qin Piao to keep her company, but where should she sleep?" An Yuying asked.
Luo Yang didn't know how to answer that question.
It would be up to Tang Guihua to decide at the time.
Qin Piao would figure out a way too, and Luo Yang laughed, "Don't worry too much, things will work out when we get there."
After thinking for a moment, An Yuying said, "Then Qin Piao will have to buy another bed."
Luo Yang was willing to help with that.
"Sister An, just pick out what you like at the furniture store, ask them to deliver it, and that's it. It's simple," Luo Yang said with a smile.
With money, everything is easier.
"So, is it you paying, or is Qin Piao paying?" An Yuying probed.
Qin Piao hadn't started a formal job yet, so she didn't have much income.
She usually relied on Luo Yang for expenses.
In reality, Luo Yang wasn't losing out on anything, as later on Qin Piao could work for him, and he could deduct a bit from her wages.
This arrangement had also been agreed upon by Qin Piao.
However, if An Yuying heard that everything was paid for by Luo Yang, she might have some opinions.
So Luo Yang smiled and said, "Sister Piao has money, so she'll pay. If she's tight on cash, I can front her the money. She'll work and pay me back later."
An Yuying wasn't the greedy type and responded, "There's no need to pressure her to pay back. She will if she can, and if she can't, there's no point in harassing her."
Knowing full well that Qin Piao couldn't pay, Luo Yang smiled, "I understand. I won't press her for the money. When she has it and wants to pay me back, she can. If not, I'll let it be."
At that moment, Luo Yang's phone rang. He took it out and saw it was Tang Guihua calling, so he knew she was urging him to hurry up and join her.
