Practically everyone in Liu Shu Village knew about Aunt Sun's family, and Cui Mei knew too. When Cui Mei had suggested the match to Zhou Feng'er, she hadn't done it with the best intentions. Zhou Feng'er only knew the man was from Liu Shu Village; she had no idea he was paralyzed.
She had taken a liking to Gu'er, seeing that she was a capable girl who could take good care of her son after marrying into the family. She was simply looking for someone to wait on him. So, even though Zhou Mazi of the Zhou family was a bad person and demanded a lot of money, she accepted it. Never mind forty or fifty yuan; she would pay sixty or even eighty, as long as Gu'er could truly take good care of her son. She would just see it as buying a long-term caretaker for him.
The Zhou family had no idea that Aunt Sun's son was paralyzed. Neither Zhou Feng'er nor Zhou Gu'er knew.
