Kaiyan my dear,
I've been thinking hard about what you said.
You're your family's only daughter, but I'm one of ten brothers—they won't miss one of us. My eldest brother can take over our small plot of land, and I'll simply marry into your family. That should solve it.
And if your parents still refuse… you remember Xiao Han from the neighboring village, right?
He ran off with his wife last year, hid out past Jade Gate Pass firing pottery. Just last month he returned carrying a plump son, and now their families are practically fighting over who gets to bring them eggs.
Still, running away earns you a bad reputation... Best not to think about it. We'll figure something out later.
