The Little Lucky Charm Is Spoiled Rotten in a Period Novel

After five generations, the Su family finally had a chubby little girl. From then on, people would exclaim, “Oh my! Is Master Su’s family eating fish? These days, even with fish coupons, you can’t buy any. Where did you get yours?” “Caught it in the lake.” Everyone fished for half a day: not a single fish, not even a tiny fry. A few days later, they asked, “Is Master Su’s family eating eggs? I haven’t seen an egg in two years. Where did you get those?” “Two pheasants flew in through the window and laid a whole nest of eggs.” Everyone opened every window in their homes: … Before long, the threshold of the Su family’s house was worn down by all the people hoping to arrange a marriage with them. Su’s father hugged his little daughter. “Get lost, get lost, get lost! My daughter was born in the new society. We’re not arranging any childhood betrothals. She’ll choose who she loves!” When his daughter grew up, Su’s father chased the boys who pursued her all over the streets. “Love matches, my foot! Get the hell away from her!” Who could have guessed… For all his vigilance, his precious daughter had already been wooed by that little brat who’d grown up right under his nose.
