“Lianqiao, you’re already eighteen. If you don’t get married soon, you’ll never find a husband.”
“My older brother has to pass the imperial exams, and my parents aren’t in good health. Someone needs to take good care of them.”
---If I get married, who’ll look after the chickens, ducks, and pigs?
…
The next day, the Shuangfeng sisters discussed the new county magistrate. They said he was handsome, had passed the imperial exams, and, most importantly, was still unmarried. So many girls in the county wanted to marry him. Lianqiao thought the sisters were being lovesick fools. County magistrates were all old men! A few days later, thieves appeared in the county, and while protecting her family’s belongings, Lianqiao got to know the magistrate a little better…
----He’s younger than I expected…
---He’s pretty well educated…
---He’s still unmarried…

I don't like the heroine, and she stops her from doing anything. The heroine wants her brother to bring a book to read, but the heroine refuses. The heroine wants to go to the Lantern Festival, but the heroine also refuses. Fortunately, the heroine's brother protects the heroine. When a thief accidentally hurts the hero at the heroine's house, the heroine immediately blames the heroine for offending the hero instead of protecting the heroine or caring about the heroine.
