After being jilted, the entire neighboring village was filled with deep regret.

Chapter 188 Fire Dimension Upgrades Again

Liu Jinhua said happily, "A young man from Shenjiazhuang has taken a liking to our Er Ya. He works for Shen Yi's family and earns quite a bit of money every year."

She started by talking about the good things, and seeing that the second son and his wife were happy, she changed the subject and talked about the situation of Shen Dagou's family.

Zeng and Wei Gang both frowned.

"Although he can make money working for Shen Yi, there are too many people in his family who are holding him back! Mother, our family is in such a predicament right now because we have so many children. My eldest brother and sister-in-law are worried about finding wives for their son. Shen Da Gou's family is not as well off as ours. Er Ya's life will not be easy if she marries into that family!"

Wei Gang expressed his thoughts.

Although a dowry of ten taels of silver was tempting, they hoped their daughter would marry into a simpler family with less of a burden.

Liu Jinhua sighed, "I hesitated because of Shen Dagou's brothers and sisters, but when I think about how well that boy can make money, I don't want to miss out on this marriage."

The three people inside the room were all conflicted.

Just then, Wei Erya pushed the door open and came in. "Grandma, Father and Mother, you don't need to hesitate anymore. I agree to this marriage."

The three of them looked over at the same time.

Zeng spoke first, "You child. Shen Dagou has so many brothers and sisters. If you really marry into that family, being the eldest sister-in-law won't be easy."

Wei Erya calmly closed the door and said, "Mother, don't just remember these things. My eldest cousin said that Shen Dagou's sister also works at Sister Su Tai's house. Her dowry doesn't require any money from the family. If I really marry into the family, I don't need to worry about it."

Besides, Shen Dagou gives half of the money to his family every year, plus his sister's share, which is enough for his younger siblings to get married in the future. I don't think these burdens are too heavy.

On the contrary, I think a man's character is more important. Someone valued by Brother Shen Yi and Sister Su Tai can't be too bad, so I'll take a gamble.

"Gambling? You really dare to say anything!" Zeng said with a laugh.

Liu Jinhua admired Wei Erya's decisiveness. "Alright! Since you've agreed, Grandma has no objections. It's up to your parents now."

Wei Gang chuckled and scratched his head, "Mother, I'll listen to you."

Madam Zeng glanced at the good-for-nothing man and was speechless. "Alright, since you've made up your mind, I won't say anything. If Shen Dagou really gives ten taels of betrothal gifts, I won't take a single penny. I'll give it all to you to take to your husband's family."

It wouldn't look good if the eldest son's wife gave his daughter ten taels of silver as a dowry, while the second son's wife received less.

"Thank you, Mother!" Wei Erya smiled brightly.

Wei Daya quickly learned the result, and her eyes couldn't help but show a hint of envy when she looked at Wei Erya. "Second Aunt is so kind."

Wei Erya glanced at the main bedroom and whispered, "Sister, don't be sad. Like Grandma said, the more you ignore Auntie, the more obedient she becomes. If you try to be nice to her, she'll take it for granted and even complain that you're not giving her enough. If you ask me, Auntie needs to be taught a lesson. You have to be patient with her."

Thinking about your in-laws' family makes you feel much better, doesn't it?

Wei Daya smiled and nodded heavily.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Shen Liang immediately took Wei Daya onto the oxcart, bidding farewell to Wei Laoqi and the others, as if he had forgotten about Chen Shi in the bedroom.

Chen didn't know that Wei Daya and her husband had left until Wei Yi returned to the room. Her face paled instantly, her eyes reddened with grievance, and she muttered to herself, "I knew that girl wouldn't care about me anymore after she got married. I've raised her for nothing."

Wei Yi was already used to these words and didn't even flinch.

As soon as Wei Daya returned to her husband's family home, she went to talk to Xu Shi.

A short while later, Xu went out excitedly.

When they started work early the next morning, Shen Yi noticed that Shen Dagou was smiling the whole time, his heart fluttering with desire. He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and ask, "Want to get married?" Shen Dagou hurriedly denied it, "No, no!"

Shen Yi chuckled, looking like he understood. "It's nothing to be ashamed of. What's there to hide? I'll definitely give you a big red envelope on your wedding day."

These past two years, thanks to the help of Shen Dagou and his sister, otherwise the guokui business wouldn't have been able to survive.

This business alone can bring him more than 1,500 taels of silver a year, so he has to thank them properly.

Shen Dagou just kept grinning foolishly.

Shen Xiang shook her head, unable to bear to look.

"Brother Shen Yi, my mother is planning to send a matchmaker to the Wei family in Liujiazhuang to propose marriage to the second daughter of the Wei family. My eldest brother is overjoyed!"

"The second daughter of the Wei family? The seventh daughter of Wei Laoqi?" Shen Yi asked in surprise.

Shen Xiang nodded directly, "It's their house."

Shen Yi laughed, "In that case, my red envelope will have to be even bigger. I'll cover all the fish and meat for the big banquet for you."

"That won't do!" Shen Dagou refused nervously.

Shen Yi smiled but remained silent.

A few days later, Su Tai heard the news that Shen Dagou and Wei Erya were engaged, and the wedding date was set for early November next year, obviously to accommodate Huang Xinghua's schedule.

Su Tai sighed with emotion, "I just said it casually that day, I never thought it would actually come true."

Shen Yi nodded and said, "Wei Laoqi has made a lot of money cooperating with us this year. I thought he would be picky about Da Gou, but I didn't expect him to agree so readily. Both sides have a close relationship with us, so we have to help out."

Su Tai agreed and turned back to continue discussing business matters with Shen Yi.

At the end of the year, she mainly sells pastries from bakeries. She had tried selling them before and found that the elderly people here generally like sweet and soft sponge cakes. Many merchants are trying to make their own sponge cakes, but no matter what they do, they can't make the same texture as the ones sold by Su Tai.

As a result, many people are looking forward to her chicken cakes.

Bread and similar items are more appealing to children. During the Lunar New Year, even the most frugal people will grit their teeth and buy some to appease the elderly and children.

Su Tai's business is booming. In just three days, the bakery's sales exceeded 200,000 yuan, and Huo Shi Kong has been upgraded again.

Reaching level four in the Fire Dimension unlocked a Western medicine shop, which perfectly compensated for the lack of a traditional Chinese medicine clinic in the Wood Dimension, providing her with double insurance for her life safety.

In case of an infection or something, traditional Chinese medicine may not be effective immediately, but an antibiotic will have an immediate effect, making it an essential medicine for travel.

Su Tai was overjoyed and looked back at the usage rules and upgrade requirements more carefully.

She can buy any medicine at the pharmacy, but she must spend 200,000 virtual coins at the pharmacy to upgrade Fire Space again.

Su Tai, who had already received the Western medicine, was quite satisfied and had little desire for further upgrades. She happily left the portal.

Before we knew it, February had arrived.

Su Tai's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and she seemed a little clumsy when she walked.

In addition, the weather was bad, so Shen Yi didn't dare let her go out at all. He didn't even dare let Su Zhan go back to her parents' home when she was happy to have a son.

Su Tai couldn't go, but she couldn't leave without showing her respect, especially since this child was her first nephew, and as his aunt, she definitely had to make a good impression.
