    "I've talked myself hoarse, did you even listen? This is a great marriage opportunity, you won't find another like it! Someone like Er Ya is lucky to even have anyone want her, and you're already complaining?" Old Mrs. Lin glanced at her sickly second daughter-in-law, Lin Er Niangzi, and frowned again with disgust. "Mother, that Luo the butcher is forty-five, a year older than Er Ya's father, and he has a ten-year-old mentally challenged son. Is he good enough for Er Ya? Er Ya is only sixteen!" Lin Er Niangzi coughed twice as she spoke hastily. Old Mrs. Lin quickly covered her mouth and leaned back to show her disgust. "How can she not be good enough?
