My guess is that since she can’t have children her brother sent his daughter to live with her aunt. If they are a patriarchal family they won’t care much about the daughter and their daughter can basically go to school, eat, and dress with no cost to them at the aunt’s house. Plus in general in agricultural societies people typically had many children and it wasn’t that uncommon to adopt a child to a relative who can’t have children because children were the only old age care plan for most of human history
Zhou Lanfang had two brothers and a sister. Zhou Siyu was her older brother's daughter. Her second brother married late, to a woman who had been previously married, and their child was just over a year old.

Especially in such a highly patriarchal society where the person who will probably be blamed is the wife for not being “good enough to keep her man” 🤢🤮
Tan Zhenghong quickly said, "Erhu, you can't talk nonsense like that. Big Brother is not that kind of person."

Plus, the Tan Family's financial situation was quite good in the village.

How much you wanna bet she is currently pregnant and needs a scapegoat for the baby?
Widow Xú laughed with a handkerchief covering her lips, "Brother Tan, you only got that little bit in the division. How can you be content with that? If only you had a son, but alas, what a pity!"

Plus FL wouldnt know the answer to any of these questions about society or legal affairs, the person she is inhabiting was an unfavored rural farm girl with an intellectual disability so she wouldn’t have been privy to any of this information

We also don’t know what kind of rights women have in this particular dynasty. Are they even allowed to do business or own property? If you get a divorce are you able to move to an independent household or do you move back to your parents household? Do women have rights to accept or refuse a marriage or can they basically be sold by their male family members at will? Is slavery legal? If her husband wanted to sale her as a slave would she have the right to refuse?

As a special agent, Tan Zhenghong was highly sensitive to the presence of others, but he seemed to be unaffected by Qiao Duo'er, an observation that gave her a little surprise.

Or he’s just taken so many beatings from his abusive parents that he learned to stay silent when in pain

I just realized what is going on. Wang Ru read a novel when Xue Han was the female protagonist then transmigrated into a character of that novel and used her knowledge as a transmigrator to essentially replace the protagonist. Zhulan read a novel about this world after Wang Ru transmigrated here where Wang Ru was the protagonist, the reason she keeps calling Xue Han the heroine is because that is how the novel featuring Wang Ru described her because Xue Han was the heroine of the novel that Wang Ru read. It’s basically like this world is on its third iteration. The first iteration is the version where no one transmigrated and Xue Han was the protagonist. The second iteration is where Wang Ru transmigrated and she herself is the protagonist. The third iteration is the current story.
Zhulan recalled carefully the moment Wang Ru would realize Xue Han was the protagonist—it would be after the first heavy snowfall of the year.

Laosan=3rd Laosi=4th
Zhou Laosan paused. He had a younger brother too. "Father, Laosi's writing is excellent. Why not have him write an essay about family matters every day? That way, when you return, you can be fully briefed on household affairs."

Why do you think they owed you anything? Your not even related other than living near each other and it’s well known by everyone that your families don’t even get along. 😩🤣
Wang Ru was angry inside. The people of the Zhou family were outrageous and cold-hearted; they didn't even bother to call her father for meals yesterday, showing no sign of humanity.

FL’s body is only 37 and her soul is only 27, I’m pretty sure Wang Ru’s soul is a modern times transmigrator. So if she was 30 or 40 she likely wasn’t a grandma, because it’s less common to be a grandma in modern times that young, but not impossible
By today's standard, Wang Ru is three years older than her!

Overall there are 6 children of the original couple. He is talking about the 3rd son and 4th son. The 3rd son is like 14 and the 4th son is like 11. They are both studying so they haven’t been in many scenes. Plus the 1st (21) and 2nd (20) sons aren’t in many scenes because they are working in the family fields. The eldest daughter hasn’t been met yet because she was already married at the time of transmigration and obviously the little girl we keep meeting is the youngest of the kids. I believe there are also 4 existing grandchildren and one baby on the way between the first and second sons
Zhou Shuren nodded, "The third has many ideas, which could lead to success if applied correctly. The fourth is truly good material for studying, intelligent indeed."

Probably random villagers, it already said that rumors were flying around the village that the dad is on his deathbed
Xue Han's little face was streaked with tears, "Mrs. Wu and the others said that Dad is not going to make it, hic."

It is her daughter, it’s a wierd phrasing but she is referring to herself as mother
Zhulan came back to her senses. She had been continuing to sort the memories in her head. She saw her mother's little girl, who was indeed beautiful, with hair long enough to be tied up into pigtails, a face still holding a bit of baby fat, and large, blinking eyes that were incredibly cute.

It could be a translation error?
The second eldest was twenty years old, a tragic child sandwiched between an older brother by one year and a younger sister by one. He received less attention and was reticent by nature, taking after his deceased father, silent and uncomplaining. Even if he was more intelligent than the eldest, he didn't get much attention. Set in his ways, he too married early, taking Zhao as his wife, a bride exchanged for grain, which he had bartered for himself. They had a three-year-old granddaughter, and currently, Zhao was pregnant, expecting another child.

How ridiculous thta she needs to do anything more tan just say we aren’t suited and be on her way. I can see why this guy looks okay isn on paper but doesn’t have any actual women willing to date him.
The doctor fell flat on his face and struggled on the ground for a while before managing to get up. Stubborn as he was, he wouldn't give up and questioned, "How can you prove your relationship?"
