Liu Xiaomei asked with a sweet smile, "Juhua, what do you think of Xiu?"
Juhua's eyes lit up. She nodded repeatedly. "Xiu is wonderful, of course! If I were a boy, I'd marry her. She's as gentle as the waters of the Little Qing River. Why? Has one of your brothers taken a fancy to her?" 'That Liu Sanshun is just too slow,' she thought. 'If he waits until Shorty Zhou finds a match for Xiu, he'll have his second regret!'
Liu Xiaomei's dark eyes twinkled as she asked, "Do you think if my Third Brother went to propose, Uncle Shorty would agree? Would Xiu agree?"
