Sun Dexiang had only finished junior high. After graduating, she stayed at home, never working in the fields for work points. Now twenty-one, she was a lazy freeloader. Mr. Sun and Sun's mother doted on her, as did her two older brothers. Neither of her sisters-in-law dared to say a word against her.
"Hungry, hungry, hungry. Were you a starving ghost in your past life?" Sun's mother poked Sun Dexiang on the head. In the years since she'd graduated and stayed home, many matchmakers had come to their door, but their offers weren't good enough. Sun's mother rejected them all, proclaiming that her daughter was destined for city life and would one day marry into the city.
After endless delays, Sun Dexiang turned twenty-one, and it was looking like she'd be stuck on their hands. Still, Sun's mother refused to lower her standards. The suitor not only had to be a city person, but his family also had to be wealthy. Otherwise, she wouldn't let her daughter marry.
