It is said that since Qiu Pei was ten years old, the family started thinking about adopting a successor for the Qiu family couple. At first, they fostered two children, but for unknown reasons, after less than three months, they sent them back and never mentioned adopting a successor again. Instead, they started considering bringing in a son-in-law for Qiu Pei.
At that time, the first candidate was Uncle Jia's son.
However, the Jia family wanted the Qiu family's house and shop but was reluctant to send their child to the family, dragging it on for years. Qiu Pei herself did not favor her maternal cousin, and with the Qiu family couple's fondness for her, the matter came to nothing.
Then, they began discussing other marriage prospects. Before Zhou SiLang, the girl had several matchmaking meetings, but none of the potential sons-in-law were satisfactory.
