After a three-minute explanation, Zhao Yuegu finally clarified the program team's purpose for visiting to the elderly villagers.
"So, they're from Mother's family, here to help us out of poverty."
Zhao Yuegu's eyebrows arched slightly.
Clearly, the elders understood what the program team was really there for.
But why the act? Why continue to refer to them as Mother's family?
Upon reflection, Zhao Yuegu felt a surge of emotion.
They were doing this for him!
In a village as impoverished as theirs, it wasn't easy for young men to find brides.
Seeing how young Lin Luqin was, the elders wanted to play matchmaker.
How wealthy Lin Luqin and her group were didn't really matter.
They were certainly wealthier than anyone in the village!
Missing this chance would be a mistake; who knew when another opportunity would come?
Following the explanation, the elders' warmth only intensified.
Meanwhile, Lin Luqin clung to Zhao Yuegu, reluctant to leave his side.
"Why are you sticking so close to me?"
"I don't want them crowding around me again."
"Isn't the program team helping you out?"
"With their age, who would have the heart to stop them?"
"We don't have any con artists in the village."
Zhao Yuegu looked stern. Walden might be a bit isolated, but its residents were honest and straightforward, unfamiliar with deceitful tricks.
The old men here, accustomed to hard work, would simply dust themselves off after a fall and get back up.
Those who weren't as sturdy had long since passed on.
Lin Luqin's cheeks flushed.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so suspicious."
She muttered under her breath, not caring whether Zhao Yuegu heard her or not.
But her reluctance to part drew the grandmothers' attention.
"Look how shy the Lin family's little daughter-in-law is, hiding behind Zhao and not coming out."
Hearing this, Lin Luqin's grip on Zhao Yuegu's pants tightened nervously.
With a bit more strength, she might have pulled them right off!
I'm not the Lin family's daughter-in-law!
Yet, she didn't have the courage to step away from Zhao Yuegu's side.
Those grandparents were terrifying!
Zhao Yuegu, noticing her panic, let the matter go.
Instead, he turned to the elders with a question.
"Have you seen Xueman?"
Xueman was his sister, without a formal name because she was the village's fifth child, and that's what she had always been called.
The villagers had found her, and because she only stopped crying in Zhao Yuegu's presence as a child, she became his sister.
In a way, Zhao Yuegu had raised her from a young age.
Grandma Eight was the one who answered.
"She didn't come out; she's probably still at home."
