The streets and alleys of Shibao County
"Have you heard? It's that girl from Yang Family Village who runs the fish pond, the one called Yang Qiu, she's going to recruit a live-in son-in-law."
"I've heard. People have been talking about it in every street and alley these last few days."
"I've heard too. That family's surname is Yang, they've gotten quite famous lately. That Four Seasons Department Store is theirs, and I heard they've built a big house in their village, even better than the houses of the wealthy families in town."
"Isn't that so. For a farming household to get this rich now is pretty impressive. Their family's not short of Silver anymore, their conditions are really good, no wonder they want to recruit a live-in son-in-law."
"But no matter how good the conditions are, there's hardly any family willing to send their son to be a live-in son-in-law. Once you become a live-in son-in-law, even if you have children, they'll carry the other family's surname."
