"Oh, right, look at me, I almost forgot in the rush." Lady Zhang glanced at Lian Manman, recalling the conversation from last night, and understood immediately. She instructed Duofu, "Duofu, go to the front again and quietly tell the master, if this person seems sincere, and not superficial, give him a bit more money to help him remarry... to have another child for carrying on the family line. It’s a deed of kindness."

Duofu agreed and went out.

"Fourth Aunt really has a heart as kind as the Bodhisattva," Luo Xiaoyan watched from the side, her eyes brightening, smiling as she spoke, "I know this Yang Family too. Actually, Fourth Aunt doesn’t know them and had no dealings with them before."

"Not only did she resolve the trouble, but she also gave money for sending away the bride. Now, she’s giving money to let him remarry. This kindness is heavier than the grace of his own parents."

"Two clans, no relation at all. Fourth Aunt just shows kindness, helping him this way. If they were relatives, there’d be nothing more to say."

"Second Sister-in-law, don’t say it like that." Lian Manman said with a smile while stopping Luo Xiaoyan’s words, "It’s just giving a little money as help, it can’t compare to the upbringing by one’s parents."

"That’s right. The grace of parents is incomparable. As for this person, his parents couldn’t marry him off, they are poor, and there’s nothing to be done about it." Lady Zhang also said, "What we can help with is limited."

"For Fourth Aunt and Sister Manman, this may not be a big deal, but for him, it’s like a gift from heaven. Fourth Aunt doing this is an act of kindness and virtue, and he knows gratitude," Luo Xiaoyan said.

"Although we helped him, we don’t expect gratitude," Lian Manman said, "Helping him depends on whether he’s sincere or not. If he’s aiming too high, unable to live a stable life, then we are too lazy to help him initially. There’s a saying, ’assist in emergencies, not poverty.’"

"That’s correct." Lady Zhang continued, "This person knows his own situation, as long as he marries a woman of similar age who can manage the household and continue the family line, nothing else matters. This, we can help with. But if he’s frivolous, with a bit of money, wanting to marry a young, pretty girl, or as soon as he can afford to eat, expects a feast of fish and meat at every meal, then he’s not a reliable person. Helping him would be pointless, better not to help initially."

"Mother, didn’t grandma tell us about the principle of tailoring to fit?" Lian Manman asked Lady Zhang intentionally.

"Yes, it’s tailoring to fit." Lady Zhang nodded.

"Has Second Sister heard this term?" Lian Manman asked Luo Xiaoyan again.

Luo Xiaoyan realized something at this point, was lost in thought, and didn’t immediately respond to Lian Manman’s question.

"Erlang’s wife, you’re still young and haven’t seen much. I’m older than you, considered your elder. This principle of tailoring to fit, living a life, regardless of the type of family, needs to understand this to live smoothly and avoid disaster." Lady Zhang said, looking at Luo Xiaoyan, "Since you were little, you’ve been capable, carrying the burden of a family, I’m sure you understand this. Your parents surely taught you."

"Yes, my parents talked about it. I understand this principle." Luo Xiaoyan came to her senses, hurriedly replied, her facial expression showing some unease.

Lady Zhang and Lian Manman saw that Luo Xiaoyan had taken these words to heart and said no more.

"Your brother’s marriage, what are your plans?" Lady Zhang asked Luo Xiaoyan.

"What are the plans...," Luo Xiaoyan heard Lady Zhang ask, tightly clenching both hands, showing considerable inner conflict, "depends on the other side..."

"Erlang’s wife, we’re real relatives, that’s why I say this." Lady Zhang said, "Yesterday, you mentioned that girl’s family, I heard it’s an ordinary family. In such families, having a proper way to earn money is something everyone is eager for, no one would be picky."

"Is it that the family has high standards?" Lady Zhang asked Luo Xiaoyan.

"No, their standards aren’t high, just an average family," Luo Xiaoyan said.

"Oh," Lady Zhang responded, then related the house affairs and personality details of Wang Xuemei she heard from Lady Wu Wang yesterday to Luo Xiaoyan. "Judging from the families she’s discussed marriage with, not just those in the city, but the nearby ones like Old Jin Family, what kind of families are those! It makes me worried."

Luo Xiaoyan listened to Lady Zhang speak, her head lowered, not responding.
