To be human, the system was all-in. She thought of Qin Xiangmei's youthful secrets from her past life, and that was about it. But Qin Xiangmei acquired them through deceit, whereas she stumbled upon them by accident. Of course, skincare is something to take advantage of while young. The products she used were all brought from abroad, gifts from clients, all big brands; they worked well for her. So, she bought some and gifted a set to each family member, which they all appreciated. "But honestly," she pulled in Li Li, "if it's decided, it's best to handle this matter sooner. Granny's getting old, her health not as good as before. I know her biggest concern is my cousin's marriage. As long as he gets married, she'll be at peace." "Don't worry," Li Li blushed rarely, "aren't I discussing this with you?" Seeing Li Li's determination, Qin Xiangnuan knew she made up her mind. Two years was enough time to consider; she might not be sure about others, but Li Li and Dongsheng were both good-natured and serious about life. Once they decided, they would be responsible to each other. She would ask Dongsheng; if he had no objections, then it was time for both families to meet. With Dongsheng, the only family to consider was a mother whose whereabouts were unknown, so no need to worry there. The only elder was Granny Lu, truly simplifying the situation. Li Li could run her house in the future. She didn't wait and went straight to Dongsheng, spoke openly about the matter. Understandable for Li Li to be shy, after all, women are typically reserved, but Dongsheng blushed so much it was like a monkey's butt when talking about it. Qin Xiangnuan really felt she might have missed something. However, things were looking up, less to worry about now. Just not sure if Li Li's parents would mind Dongsheng having one disabled leg. Meeting Li Li's parents was handled by Li Qiuhua and Qin Xiangnuan, sparing Granny Lu the hassle due to her age and declining health. Qin Xiangnuan thought she'd have to speak earnestly with Li Li's parents, to look beyond the leg, which was merely a disability, not an impairment. But to her surprise, Li Li's parents didn't mind at all. They were very welcoming, offering drinks and fruits generously. Coming from rural backgrounds, they didn't have twisted views. Li Li's mom held Qin Xiangnuan's hand, feeling unexpectedly close. "So you are Xiang Nuan? Xiao Li often mentions you," Mrs. Li liked Qin Xiangnuan instantly, finding her appearance warm-hearted, evidently not harboring bad intentions. "Auntie, you know me?" Qin Xiangnuan was puzzled. Was she really that famous? "Of course, I know," Mrs. Li's eyes reddened as she recounted, "When Xiao Li was in high school, our financial situation was tough, stretching to educate three kids. Xiao Li would skip meals to save money, eating only once a day, mostly going hungry. You were the one who provided breakfast for her for three years, allowing her not to starve and eventually securing a good university and job. You did good. Even if your cousin is disabled, his character is solid, and I trust handing my daughter over to him with you around." Qin Xiangnuan was dumbfounded; was it really because of her past kindness that Dongsheng now had a wife, and even the mother-in-law approved so easily? Dongsheng just smiled, gratitude evident in his eyes. Li Family's matters turned out unexpectedly smooth. The elders set the date, and it became official. Granny Lv gave Dongsheng all her saved money, amounting to over a hundred thousand. "Granny, I can't take this money," Dongsheng returned the money to Grandma Lv, "I'm earning now, no need for this." "It's yours to earn, Granny's to give," Grandma Lv insisted, pushing the money back to Dongsheng, "I only have you as a grandson, this money is meant for you." "What about Nuannuan." Dongsheng thought not all the money should go to him. They had been living off Qin Xiangnuan, and he always remembered that, so he really couldn't take the money. "Nuannuan doesn't need this money," Grandma Lv smiled, understanding his sincere nature, "Their business is doing well, they don't need Granny's money. This is for you. Take this money like your sister said, buy as many houses as you can." "Once you're married, you and Xiao Li can live in your own place, have your own life. Though, if you want to stay here, Granny would be more than happy. Granny just worries you might overthink things." "Granny..." Dongsheng's eyes filled with tears, Granny indeed knew him, knew his pride, always feeling he depended on others. Hence Granny gave him the money to buy his own house and have his own place. Why cry, Granny Lv patted Dongsheng's head. "With grandsons like you, Granny's life is fulfilled." Holding the money, Dongsheng's grip tightened thinking, having such a caring grandmother and a devoted cousin, he could die content. He decided to focus on running the restaurant well, earn more, reassure Granny, and ensure Xiao Li's life keeps improving. He would take care of her family's needs in the future, justifying their trust despite his disability. Li Li's marriage approached, and Qin Xiangnuan, owning several properties, let Xiao Li choose any, excluding those reserved for the kids. Li Li didn't hesitate, knowing if she did, Qin Xiangnuan might take offense.

It was a dream to own a set, and now that dream was about to become a reality. She had initially hoped to buy a house after saving for a few more years, but now, that was no longer necessary.
