Li Suniang looked at Xiao Zihao, who was playing with Wangzai in the yard, with a strange look: such a young child has a matchmaker coming to propose marriage... This dynasty is too advanced! At this ti, she completely forgot that she was still a widow and could remarry.
When Aunt Yang heard the woman in front of her introduce herself as a matchmaker, she looked her up and down carefully, then turned to Li Suniang, who was still standing in her own small vegetable garden, and shouted, "Suniang, open the door."
Li Suniang ca back to her senses, walked out of the vegetable garden carefully, and opened the door for Aunt Yang. After Aunt Yang and the woman ca in, she quickly closed the door.
There were inevitably so people watching the fun in the village, and Li Suniang didn't want to beco the topic of their gossip.
"Sit down." Aunt Yang pointed to a stool in the yard and said to the woman.
After the woman sat down, Aunt Yang also pulled a chair and sat opposite the woman.
The woman just sat down and began to look around. Then she smiled at Li Suniang who had just washed her hands and walked towards them, "Young lady, you are really diligent. Look how clean this yard is."
Li Suniang was originally averse to this woman. People say that matchmakers are deceitful. So in response to this woman's kindness, Li Suniang barely curled her lips as a response.
When there are guests, no matter how poor the host family is, there is always a bowl of tea. But this woman is an uninvited guest and is not welcod by the host family, so Li Suniang is too lazy to give her any.
Lin, the matchmaker, didn't care about Li Suniang's cold attitude. She just looked at the little boy Zihao who followed Li Suniang closely, and said with a smile in a tone that she thought was gentle, "This is your son! You raised him well. What's his na? How old is he?"
Xiao Zihao, who was originally playing happily with Wangzai in the yard, picked up Wangzai when he saw them co in and followed Li Suniang closely.
At this mont, seeing the strange woman staring at him, although she was smiling, that smile looked so much like the smile that his mother had told him, the smile of the wolf grandmother trying to trick the child into eating, which imdiately made him alert.
After listening to what Matchmaker Lin said, Li Suniang secretly rolled her eyes. She wanted to scold that woman, saying that you have co to help with the marriage. How co you don’t know how old the child is? You are too unkind as a matchmaker!
Fortunately, Matchmaker Lin didn’t know what Li Suniang was thinking. Otherwise, she would definitely not know whether to laugh or cry.
Matchmaker Lin: My dear lady... From ancient tis to the present, matchmakers have been matchmaking for n and won over ten years old, and I have never heard of matchmaking for such a young child. Where did you get the news from? Besides, if such a young child is to be married, it is also a marriage arranged in the mother's womb, so there is no need for us matchmakers to help.
"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense, just tell which man has taken a fancy to my Su Niang." Aunt Yang looked at Lin the matchmaker impatiently and said.
'What...? Arrange a marriage for , when did I say I wanted to get married?' After hearing Aunt Yang's question, Li Suniang suddenly felt like thunder and lightning struck her on her head, and her eyes widened.
"That... Aunt Yang... I..." Li Suniang wanted to say that she didn't want to get married again, but before she could say it, she was interrupted by Aunt Yang.
"Don't be anxious, listen to what Matchmaker Lin says first."
Li Suniang didn't know whether to laugh or cry about Aunt Yang's words. She was not anxious, not only was she not anxious, she didn't want to get married, okay!
After Lin, the matchmaker took a look at Li Suniang, she said to Aunt Yang, "Sister, your little girl is not only good-looking but also hardworking, and she is also blessed."
Matchmaker Lin praised Li Suniang to Aunt Yang right away, and Aunt Yang's happy face never stopped smiling.
On the contrary, the one who was praised could not help but roll his eyes secretly, muttering, If Li Suniang was really so lucky, she would not be standing here.
When Matchmaker Lin saw Aunt Yang's happy look, she continued to say, "Big sister, you see such a lucky young lady has been favored by Mr. Liu in the town. There will be more blessings in the future, and even you and this child will be able to get involved."
"What...? Tell again, who is the one who favored Suniang...?" Aunt Yang, who was originally full of joy, suddenly restrained the smile on her face, showing a shocked and angry expression, stood up, lowered her head, and stared at Matchmaker Lin, and even her voice instantly changed from contralto to soprano.
When Aunt Yang stood up, Li Suniang, who was standing aside, quickly pulled Xiao Zihao back a few steps to give Aunt Yang more room to play.
"Liu... Mr. Liu from the town." Matchmaker Lin felt a little guilty when she saw Aunt Yang glaring at her angrily and said weakly.
"Hehe, I say, matchmaker, do you think that we country people don't know anything, so you co to deceive us? Mr. Liu is old enough to be my Suniang's father, and he has the nerve to invite a matchmaker. Do you really think we are stupid?" Aunt Yang said to Matchmaker Lin angrily.
"Although Mr. Liu... Mr. Liu is a little old, his family is rich!" Matchmaker Lin said in a low voice.
"What's the use of having money? If you envy his family for being rich, then you can do it yourself! He is already old, and he doesn't know whether he will die today or tomorrow, and he still wants to harm people. Who does he think he is, the king of heaven or the Jade Emperor? Can he beco immortal or live forever if she enters his house?" Aunt Yang pointed at Matchmaker Lin and said angrily and mockingly.
Don't bla Aunt Yang for getting angry. Maybe Li Suniang doesn't know who Mr. Liu is, but Aunt Yang knows!
Liu Yuanwai's family is rich, but his youngest son is older than Li Suniang. He has not only a wife but also five or six concubines. It is said that all the concubines were taught strictly by his wife, and none of them had ever been pregnant. His wife is also a powerful person.
As for what Lin the matchmaker said about Liu Yuanwai falling in love with Li Suniang, it was because he wanted her to be the seventh concubine. Although she is a widow, at least she has freedom in life, but once she becos a concubine, she will be like a bird in a cage, completely losing her freedom.
When the man favors her, life may be easier, but once she loses favor, it is up to the mistress of the house to decide whether she lives or dies.
It is said that n beco bad when they have money. Look at Liu Yuanwai, he is already very old, and there are already so many concubines at ho, but his eyes are always running around. He is really looking at the pot while eating from the bowl, and he is not afraid that he will die soon if he works too hard.
Listening to what Aunt Yang said, Li Suniang almost laughed out loud. But she never expected that she had never had a love affair in her previous life, and she beca a widow with a baby after coming here. What she didn't expect was that the pimp in front of her actually wanted to marry her to a man who could be her father. It was too absurd to think about it.
Seeing Aunt Yang getting so angry, Matchmaker Lin knew that this matter would not work out today, so she stood up and said, "Sister, don't say such harsh words! I just saw that the young lady was a widow with such a small baby, and I thought that her life was not easy, so I wanted to help her."
"Help her, what the hell, are you helping her? You are pushing people into the fire pit, how can you be a matchmaker like you... Get out, get out of here quickly, you are a woman who has no conscience and has given birth to a son without a..., get out..." Aunt Yang pointed at Matchmaker Lin and scolded her to get out quickly.
The hypocritical smile on Matchmaker Lin's face could no longer be maintained after being scolded. "You...you...my kindness is really not rewarded." She said as she walked out.
"Your kindness is called kindness... Your heart has been eaten by a dog. Be careful not to do too many bad things and get struck by lightning." Aunt Yang scolded while driving Lin, the matchmaker, out.
"You... You are capable. If you have the ability, don't ask to be a matchmaker in the future." Matchmaker Lin said in a sowhat hard tone.
"Even if my child can't find a wife in the future, we will not ask you, a matchmaker who has broken all consciences, to be a matchmaker. Besides, you are not the only matchmaker in this town. Do you think that without you, others can't get married? You really think you are the matchmaker who has co down to earth, but you don't even go out to look at your face." Aunt Yang said sarcastically.
Matchmaker Lin left in disgrace after Aunt Yang's words. Before leaving, she looked at Li Suniang unwillingly.
'Why are you looking at ? It's good enough that I haven't scolded you yet.' Li Suniang also glared at her fiercely.
"Get out, get out of our village right now. If I see you again, I will break your legs, you evil-minded bastard." Aunt Yang still cursed at the back of Matchmaker Lin.
"Mother, what's the matter? You are so angry. I can hear your voice next door. Dad asked to ask if you need help." Zhao Shi hurried over and asked, and looked at the back of the figure who had left with so curiosity.
"Oh, don't ntion it. I t an evil person." Aunt Yang waved her hand, still with a hint of anger in her words.
"Aunt, don't be angry!" Li Suniang ca over and said.
"Sister-in-law, co in and sit for a while!" Li Suniang said to Zhao Shi who ca over.
So the three of them went into the house together.
"Suniang, don't bla for being too talkative. We should be upright and live a comfortable life. Don't envy those who look glamorous on the outside, but are actually worse than us peasant won." Aunt Yang was afraid that Li Suniang was deceived by what Matchmaker Lin said, so she said with so earnestness.
"Aunt, I know, and besides, I didn't think about getting married again at the mont!" Li Suniang replied very seriously.
Aunt Yang frowned slightly when she heard Li Suniang's words that she didn't want to get married again and said with so disapproval.
"Suniang, you still have to get married. After all, you are still young, and there is still a long way to go in the future. Besides, it's a big deal to have no man in charge at ho. Zihao is still young, and there are still many things to do in the future."
"Mom, Suniang didn't say she didn't want to get married. She just said she didn't want to get married at the mont. Maybe she hasn't t the right one yet?" Zhao Shi said on the side.
"Yes, Aunt Yang, what sister-in-law said." Li Suniang was afraid that Aunt Yang would give a big talk that would make people dizzy, so she nodded and said hurriedly.
About Aunt Yang's fierce behavior just now, and the ancient foundation of filial piety, Li Suniang finally understood why the three daughters-in-law in her family were so obedient.
Perhaps because it was the first ti he encountered such a situation, Xiao Zihao was a little listless all day, and he couldn't cheer up even with Wangzai's company.
Especially when he went to bed at night, he used to fall asleep for a short while after lying on the bed, but today, even Wangzai had fallen asleep, but he was still not asleep.
"What's the matter? Can't sleep?" Li Suniang turned over to lay face to face with Xiao Zihao, looked at him, and asked.
Xiao Zihao blinked and looked at Li Suniang, and after a while, he whispered, "Mom, will you get married?"
It turned out to be because of this matter! A little kid should have grown up happily, but today's incident made the child lack a sense of security.
