When Matchmaker Xu saw who it was, she smiled. “Hey, Madam Bai. Has your daughter gotten married?”

Madam Bai smiled and waved her hand. “Not yet. There’s no hurry. We’re taking our time selecting. Do you know any good boys? Can you help suggest a match for my daughter?”

Matchmaker Xu smiled. She naturally wouldn’t reject a business. As she spoke, she followed Madam Bai to her house.

After rejecting Matchmaker Xu, Madam Wei became busy.

In the blink of an eye, it was April. Liu Sanniang had already made a brand new pair of shoes for each person in the Liu family.

She picked a day and gave the shoes to her parents.

Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang were overjoyed. “Sanniang, this is such a beautiful shoe. I don’t know if I should wear it or not.”

Liu Erlang put on his shoes happily. “Brother, you can give them to me if you don’t wanna wear them. We’re about the same size anyway.”

Liu Dalang slapped him. “In your dreams.”

Madam Wei’s eyes were filled with pride. When she wore this pair of shoes outside, those who had good taste would definitely ask her. Once they knew that this was made by her daughter, they would be envious.

Mr. Liu was overjoyed. His daughter was good at cooking and embroidery and her life in the future would be good.

Liu Erlang loved to show off. After getting new shoes, he walked around the streets and alleys that day, showing off to all the friends he knew.

When he met Chu Yan, Liu Erlang greeted him happily. “Chu Yan, where are you going?”

Chu Yan replied calmly. “West.”

Liu Erlang smiled and said, “Where? I’ll go with you. My sister made me new shoes. I’ll walk around in them so they’ll fit better.”

Even a fool could tell that he was showing off.

Chu Yan lowered his eyes and saw the new pair on Liu Erlang’s feet. On the dark blue shoes, there were two pine trees embroidered. They were vivid and lifelike. A pair of slender hands appeared in Chu Yan’s mind.

Liu Sanniang made shoes for Liu Erlang and probably had made them for others as well.

She still owed him a favor, but she forgot about it just like that. If she didn’t give shoes to him, he would get them himself!

His eyes darkened and he did not talk to Liu Erlang any further.

Liu Erlang was still in a joyful mood, so he didn’t mind being ignored by Chu Yan.

After finishing with the shoes, Liu Sanniang had nothing to do. At noon, she cooked porridge and steamed cornbread to send to Mr. Liu, Liu Dalang, and Liu Erlang. After they finished eating, Liu Sanniang took the bowls and chopsticks home.

The Liu family had some land in the backyard to grow vegetables.

Liu Sanniang was already thinking about what to cook for dinner.

When she walked past the street corner, she was pulled to the corner by a rough and large hand. She was about to scream, but her mouth was covered. A low voice came from above Liu Sanniang’s head. “It’s me.”

Liu Sanniang wanted to scream even more. Ahhh, this lunatic. What was he doing?

Did Chu Yan have a grudge against her?

Liu Sanniang was so scared that she wanted to cry.

Chu Yan wrapped his arms around her. “Did you forget something?”
