After being reborn, I have seven older sisters.

After lunch, Chunmiao and her parents saw Huang Quangang's parents and the matchmaker off.

They had barely returned home when the bourgeois young lady, Hou Cuicui, came to their door.

No one knows where she found out that Chunsheng had taken the day off to go to the county town, and no one knows from whom she found out Chunsheng's address.

In short, as soon as she entered Chunsheng's house, without even asking if Chunsheng was there, she immediately said to Liu Yan'e and Chunzao, "You must be Chunsheng's mother and sister?"

Liu Yan'e and Chunzao nodded quickly. The mother and daughter exchanged a glance and saw surprise on each other's faces.

Because all along, the only classmates who came to Chunsheng's house to see him, besides Song Hongqin, were Song Guangliang, who had just become somewhat acquainted with Chunsheng.

Besides, no other classmates had ever come to the house, especially not a girl dressed so fashionably.

Liu Yan'e immediately asked, "Girl, are you Chunsheng's classmate?"

Hou Cuicui smiled and nodded, "Yes, Auntie, Chunsheng and I are in the same grade, but not in the same class! He is in Class 1 of Grade 1, and I am in Class 3 of Grade 1. My name is Hou Cuicui."

Liu Yan'e glanced at Chunzao beside her, and Chunzao immediately understood her mother's meaning, asking Hou Cuicui, "You're not from Songjiazhuang, are you?"

Because apart from a few outsiders, everyone else in Songjiazhuang is surnamed Song, and the villagers know those few outsiders well; none of them are surnamed Hou.

Hou Cuicui hummed in agreement and then replied, "Sister, I'm not from Songjiazhuang. My home is in Houshuying Village, Jinsanyu Commune."

Chunzao and her mother nodded thoughtfully.

Chunzao continued, "Chunsheng isn't home today, and you two aren't even in the same class. What do you need him for?"

Hou Cuicui smiled and said, "It's alright if he's not home. I'll just ask you and Auntie to talk to him!"

Upon hearing this, Chunzao and Liu Yan'e exchanged a blank look, wondering what this beautifully dressed young woman wanted from them.

Since the other party said they had something to discuss with them and had come to their door on their own initiative, the mother and daughter, who were always honest and simple people, didn't think much of it.

The mother and daughter, who were always simple and honest, didn't think much of it and moved a small stool for Hou Cuicui to sit on. They then sat down right next to Hou Cuicui opposite her.

Looking at Hou Cuicui, who was dressed fashionably and wearing light makeup, Liu Yan'e asked curiously, "Your name is Hou Cuicui, right?"

Hou Cuicui nodded with a smile, "Yes, Auntie, you can just call me Cuicui."

Liu Yan'e smiled and said, "Cui Cui is such a lovely name, and you're quite beautiful too. May I ask you, Cui Cui, what brings you to my house today to see Chun Sheng?"

Hou Cuicui's smile deepened when she heard Chunsheng's mother praise her so highly.

She moved the small stool she was sitting on forward, grabbed Liu Yan'e's hands, and said with a beaming smile, "Auntie, do you really think I'm pretty?"

Liu Yan'e couldn't help but laugh, "Yes, what does this old lady have to tell you?"

"You're good-looking and well-dressed. If you said you lived in the county town, even the old lady would believe you."

Although Hou Cuicui was pampered by her parents from a young age and was often praised by others.

But she didn't really take those past compliments seriously.

She was incredibly proud to be praised by Song Chunsheng's mother to her face today.

She felt that as long as Song Chunsheng's mother liked her, things would be much easier from there.

So she immediately explained her purpose, "Auntie, I came to your house today just to get acquainted with the place, so I can come visit you and my sister when I have time!"

Liu Yan'e was still confused after hearing Hou Cuicui's words, not understanding why this girl had come to her house.

Although Chunzao, who was standing nearby, didn't quite understand either, she had already guessed something from Hou Cuicui's eyes.

So he smiled and said, "We're not related, it's so kind of you to come and visit us!"

"Besides, I've never heard Chunsheng mention you at home before, so Cuicui, can you tell me the truth? What brings you to our house today?"

Hou Cuicui hadn't planned to reveal her purpose so quickly, thinking she would chat with Chunsheng's mother and sister a little longer before bringing it up when the time was right.

But she didn't expect that Chunsheng's sister would ask her so directly.

So, she first smiled awkwardly, pursed her lips, and then replied, "Since you asked me, I won't hide it from you."

"My dad is the village party secretary, my two older brothers both work in the county town, and I have a younger brother!"

Upon hearing this, Chunzao and Liu Yan'e exchanged surprised glances, wondering why this girl would suddenly tell them about her family.

Hou Cuicui continued, "I'm the only girl in my family, so my parents won't interfere with my dating."

"Chunsheng is good at studying and good-looking, so I..."

Hou Cuicui stopped abruptly, biting her lip as she stared at Chunsheng's mother and sister, who were sitting opposite her, looking on in surprise.

After a moment, Liu Yan'e couldn't help but laugh, and asked Hou Cuicui with a wry smile, "Miss, from what you're saying, you've come to my house today to arrange a marriage for yourself..."

At this moment, Chunsheng is in Xinhua Bookstore, browsing through a Concise English-Chinese Dictionary published by Commercial Press.

When he turned to the last page of prices, Seventh Sister Chunmiao also came over.

When Chunmiao discovered that the dictionary cost 4 yuan, she was immediately startled.

He said in a low voice, "Do you want to buy it? It's so expensive! The Xinhua Dictionary at home only costs 15 cents."

Chunsheng weighed the dictionary in his hand, smiled, and said, "The size and weight are different too!"

Chunmiao grinned: "That's too expensive! Can we not buy it?"

Chunsheng shook his head and said, "I have to buy it, but I have money, I don't need my family's money."

Chunmiao looked at her younger brother Chunsheng with surprise and asked, "Are you going to use the money from that 150 yuan advance payment? That won't do! That's money for the teachers to use for translation!"

At this moment, Chunsheng took out 5 yuan from his pocket and waved it in front of Chunmiao.

Chunsheng knew that the 150 yuan prepayment would eventually belong to him.

However, to be on the safe side, it's best not to touch that money for now.

If what Third Sister Chunping said is true, and the translated materials do not meet Wang Beiping's requirements, then the 150 yuan advance payment will be refunded.

He knew that his translation would be flawless and would definitely satisfy the other party.

But since it's our first collaboration and we don't know Wang Beiping's character well, it's best to be cautious.

Once the translation is complete and the other party confirms there are no problems, it's not too late to consider how to spend the remaining 350 yuan after receiving the remaining 200 yuan.

Because Chunmiao knew that the 150 yuan advance payment was tucked inside Chunsheng's 300-page "Machinery and Equipment Operation Manual," which was in the backpack he was carrying.

Moreover, all of those 150 yuan notes were 10-yuan notes.

So when Chunsheng pulled the five yuan out of his pocket, Chunmiao immediately asked in surprise, "Where did you get this money?"
