When Tan You met with the old couple from the Tang family, she naturally brought up Sun Zhicai. They knew of him.
The old woman said, "After I found out they were together, I made a point to ask around. They say this Sun Zhicai has a very good reputation. He doesn't smoke, drink, or gamble, and he saves all the money he earns."
"And he's very fair in his business at the market. Never short-changes his customers."
The old man added, "I heard his parents have passed away, so he's the only one left in his family. His wife also ran off years ago. Maybe that's why he works so hard to get ahead, having lost everything."
"He owns a house in his name. If your mother really gets together with him, she won't have a hard life."
The old woman's words were sincere. Although she disliked her daughter-in-law, Li Lanzhen, she had no intention of giving her a hard time. At most, she would just keep her distance.
