Someone said dryly and sourly, "Why didn't Su Xiaocai pick a local? If she picked a local, she could've stayed by the Planet Master's side."
Ji's mother loved this sense of superiority so much that she preened and said, "A good daughter aims for the wider world. Besides, if she wanted to stay on Su's Planet, how hard would that be? It's not like my son can't afford land and a house."
Clutching their chests in regret, the aunties felt their families should have had a shot—who could compete with childhood sweethearts?
Too bad back then they'd all looked down on Su Xiaocai as "good-for-nothing." After bringing this up over and over and finding out she was already taken, they finally gave up.
Given the other side's family background was so strong, never mind that—her ability and looks didn't lose out to anyone either. Their own crooked melons and cracked dates should just stay home and not embarrass themselves.
