A woman who is three years older than a man will bring him wealth!

It's just a pity, their family's situation is so bad, they simply aren't worthy of her...

Thinking of this, Sun Yuhou also let out a helpless sigh.

"Runye, you've come to congratulate Shaoan, haven't you...? Oh dear, I'm so sorry, knowing you still had classes, I didn't invite you... I'll find you a seat!" Sun Yuhou couldn't let Runye cause any trouble at Shaoan's wedding, so, fearing Runye might say something inappropriate, he quickly greeted her.

"Uncle Yuhou, I just want to say a few words to Brother Shaoan..." Runye didn't move away; instead, she stood firmly there, looking at Sun Shaoan as she spoke.

Xiulian looked at the beautiful woman in front of her, and her heart tightened.

Could this be Brother Shaoan's old flame?

She had been in Shuangshui Village for so long, and no one in the Yuhou family had ever mentioned this. Later, she would have to question him thoroughly.

"Brother Shaoan, this is a brocade satin quilt cover I specially asked a friend to buy from Hangzhou as a wedding gift for you. Don't ever say again that your Sister Runye is thoughtless!"

Tian Runye smiled brightly, handed over the quilt cover she held, her face full of smiles.

Sun Shaoan was deeply moved, and also felt a little guilty. He said softly, "Runye, thank you!"

Tian Futang, listening from the side, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had come to deliver a gift, not to cause trouble. But he was still uneasy, so he walked over to Runye and said, "Runye, why didn't you tell me you were coming back? I thought you wouldn't be able to make it!"

Runyes Mother also followed, her face anxious.

"Runye..."

"Dad, Mom, it was just a coincidence. Originally, I couldn't come, but the school suddenly changed its plan this afternoon to organize students for labor instead of classes, so I asked for leave and came back. Brother Shaoan's wedding is such a big happy event, I couldn't miss it!" Tian Runye said with a smile.

Seeing Shaoan looking at Tian Runye with a hesitant expression, not taking the gift, Xiulian directly reached out and took the quilt cover Runye offered, saying with a cheerful laugh, "This... Sister Runye, thank you for the quilt cover. The pattern looks so festive, it must be quite valuable..."

"Sister-in-law Xiulian, don't talk about valuable or not. It's just a small token of my affection. I wish you and Brother Shaoan a long and happy life together, with many children and grandchildren!" Runye responded with a beaming smile.

Zhao Dongchuan watched this harmonious scene from the side, a surge of emotion rising in his heart. It seemed that under the flapping of his 'small wings,' many things in this world were being quietly changed.

Just like Runye now.

She no longer cowered but began to face her Brother Shaoan directly, and personally presented her wedding gift.

Runye and Xiulian were both excellent women, and it's said that excellent people always attract each other. After only a few words, the two became quite close, looking almost like sisters.

Those who knew some of the inside story, such as Sun Yuting, Sun Shaoping, and Tian Runsheng, looked on with great surprise.

It seems Sister Runye has truly come to terms with things, Sun Shaoping thought silently.

He actually had a slight reservation about Shaoan and Xiulian's marriage, as Sister Runye's kindness to their family since childhood was countless. But he was no longer a child and naturally knew that some things weren't as simple as they seemed; the adult world was very complicated.

Sun Shaoan watched Tian Runye and He Xiulian chatting and laughing together from the side, and the large stone in his heart finally fell. From now on, Runye would be his good sister, his true sister.

Shaoan couldn't help but reach out his rough hand and tightly grasp Xiulian's small hand.

Xiulian turned back and looked at Sun Shaoan with a beaming smile; a moment of blissful understanding flowed between them.

Zhao Dongchuan watched this scene and silently grumbled, "Damn it, they're showing off their affection! Really!"

...

Tian Runye was seated at Zhao Dongchuan's table with her parents.

"Runye, you..." Tian Futang looked at his daughter beside him, a little puzzled, but didn't know how to ask. This wasn't home, and some things were not easy to ask directly.

"Dad, I just came to attend the wedding. You don't have to worry. From now on, Shaoan is my brother, and I am Brother Shaoan's sister!"

Tian Runye smiled, picked up a piece of fatty meat, and put it into her mouth.

"Dad, Mom, have some meat. This kind of feast is rare in the village, so eat more. I brought a generous gift; that quilt cover cost me a lot of money!" Tian Runye said, serving her parents some dishes and smiling.

"Yes, yes, we must eat well today!"

Tian Futang, seeing Runye's demeanor, knew that Runye had completely let go, and he also laughed heartily.

To be honest, although he had strongly prevented Runye and Shaoan from being together, it was only because he hoped his daughter would find a good family, at least not too poor. Sun Shaoan was a good person, but he was well aware of the situation of him supporting three people.

But no matter what, he still felt a sense of guilt towards Runye.

However, Tian Futang, who had always been proud and wanted to save face, had always pretended, not showing it, for fear of revealing weakness and being seen through by his daughter, causing things to develop in a direction he didn't want to see.

Outsiders couldn't say much about Tian Futang's behavior, unable to simply define it as good or bad.

Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, Zhao Dongchuan picked up a glass of wine and downed it in one gulp... Hiss! It was indeed a bit spicy on the throat!

"Choking?" Tian Runye, who was eating at the same table, saw this and asked with concern.

"No, no, it's just a bit spicy on the throat!" Zhao Dongchuan coughed while laughing.

"Have you come to terms with it?"

"Hmm, I've come to terms with some things..." Tian Runye also picked up her wine glass, took a small sip, immediately her face turned red, and she stuck out her tongue.

"Hiss... Sister-in-law Xiulian is indeed a good woman... more suitable for Brother Shaoan than I am!"

...

Tian Futang, seeing the two of them getting along so well, couldn't help but feel a hint of doubt. When did his daughter become so close to this young Zhao?

Tian Futang and Runyes Mother exchanged glances, both seeing some confusion in each other's eyes. Suddenly, a thought stirred in his heart.

He had witnessed young Zhao's changes over the past year, from a lazy, gluttonous educated youth sent to the countryside to today's 'great scholar.' Not only could he write poetry, but he could also write essays. The last time he visited his brother Tian Fujun's home, his brother had praised him a lot.

He looked at the distinguished young Zhao, and then at his own youthful and beautiful Runye.

The idea in Tian Futang's mind grew stronger, and his attitude towards young Zhao underwent a subtle change. The more he looked, the more he felt that young Zhao was a good person.

"It's just that there's a bit of an age difference; Runye is three years older than this young Zhao!"

"But then again, 'a woman three years older brings a golden brick,' so it's not impossible!" Tian Futang's eyes fixed on Zhao Dongchuan, silently pondering.

Zhao Dongchuan had no idea that in that short time, he had already been targeted.

He had freed Tian Runye from Sun Shaoan's side, but he hadn't expected to put himself on Tian Futang's list of 'future sons-in-law.'

He had trapped himself!
