Mrs. Hua put down her teacup and laughed, "Sister Sun is really perceptive. I had the sa idea, but I just discussed it with Yun Ao’s mother and hadn’t made up my mind yet. I didn’t expect you’d co."
"How could I sit still! You didn’t even give a heads up. You don’t know, when I heard about it all of a sudden, I nearly chased out those people who ca to the door." Mrs. Sun, known for her straightforwardness, couldn’t help but give Mrs. Hua a side-eye.
If they hadn’t explained repeatedly, very seriously, she would have almost chased them out.
She was just out of the house for a day and missed this big news. Initially, she was quite confused, and it took a great effort to send them away. anwhile, visitors kept coming, almost leaving no ti for als.
"It’s not too late to find out now. Besides, my girl is not worried. There’s no hurry, even if she has to be taken care of until she is old, we can afford it." Mrs. Hua didn’t get angry despite the eye-roll, instead she laughed and seed rather smug as she spoke.
Whether it irked others or not, it sure got to Mrs. Sun.
Life is going on impressively, huh!
Well, it’s indeed impressive. Even though Mrs. Sun was quite aged, she couldn’t help but envy how comfortably Mrs. Hua was living, although she herself was doing quite well too.
"My dear sister, you can’t say it like that. No matter how good the family is, they can’t be with the child all the ti. Besides, we’re getting older, and the days to accompany the children are also getting fewer year by year. We must make arrangents for the children’s future early!"
"You’re right there. Otherwise, Yun Ao’s mother and I wouldn’t be starting to think about the child’s lifelong matters."
"All out of concern for the kids. But the kids are grown, indeed, when it’s ti to talk about marriage, it needs to be discussed. Otherwise, keeping them around would just lead to worries..."
It’s all about caring for the kids. Being mothers themselves, Mrs. Sun understood Mrs. Hua and Yun Ao’s mother’s reluctance. When her daughter got married, she was equally torn.
Mrs. Hua nodded in agreent. Although it wasn’t applicable to her dear granddaughter, after all, every girl should find a suitable partner. Not everyone has the capability and fortune like her granddaughter.
"If I find soone suitable, I’ll let you know first, sister." Mrs. Sun was pleased. Now she no longer had to keep refusing and could choose a nice match from them.
"Then I’ll trouble you, sister. But if they don’t et the standards or have a complicated family background, don’t even ntion them. We only have this one daughter, who is quite precious, and she hasn’t done anything at ho, nor does she know the tricks and sches."
"Oh dear sister, of course, even if you didn’t ask, I would keep a close watch for Jin’er. Don’t you know yet? Am I soone unreliable?" Mrs. Sun assured her.
Mrs. Hua trusted Mrs. Sun quite a bit, otherwise, she wouldn’t have entrusted the marriage matters of her two grandsons to her.
"Well, definitely not."
"Right, now to the point, sister, if there are any decent young n, I’ll keep an eye on them."
Discussing this topic truly pleased Mrs. Hua, and then the two won started planning together. Mrs. Qi, sitting on the side, occasionally chid in too, speaking in a low voice, just enough for everyone nearby to hear, without making it clear what was being said.
With sharp ears, Jin Hua quickly understood Mrs. Sun was there for her. After hearing just a few words, she went into space.
It’s not really out of curiosity, but rather fearing that hearing too much would lead to unnecessary thoughts, so she just chose not to listen, waiting for grandma and mother’s arrangents, as they surely wouldn’t let her down.
She returned to her space, lying on her big bed comfortably, and entered into dreamland.
Eventually, after discussing with Mrs. Sun, they ca up with several nas. If these people are interested, arrangents can be made. As for the others, neither the mother-in-law nor the daughter-in-law favored them. If Mrs. Sun also disapproved, she would directly reject them.
Among them, Mrs. Hua and Mrs. Qi favored the most the son of Dr. Sun and Luo Song, who seed to be growing in the Hua family. Both families were simple, though the possibility of them moving in was low. But it didn’t matter since they all lived in the village, under their watchful eye, ensuring the child wouldn’t suffer.
Actually, Qin Shu was also decent, with honest parents at ho. The only downside was having too many brothers, which potentially ant trouble.
These seed quite suitable.
They picked them, but the premise was that their families had to actively seek out Mrs. Sun; otherwise, it ant no fate.
If one doesn’t strive for it, presumably, they don’t care either. Mrs. Hua wouldn’t insist on such matters naturally.
After sitting for a while, Mrs. Sun left satisfied, and Mrs. Hua and Mrs. Qi also felt relieved as they returned to their rooms, unsurprisingly seeing their husbands getting impatient.
In the following days, Mrs. Sun’s house remained unusually busy, as it hadn’t been since the previous visit of the Hua brothers.
Honestly, being too popular isn’t great for the kids either. Mrs. Sun’s words were nearly worn out, yet so families lacked self-awareness, repeatedly visiting her house. She eventually had to let go of her good temper and chased them out directly.
"Enough, enough, hurry up and leave. If I say no, it ans no. The village chief’s granddaughter is not soone your kids can dream of."
The words were blunt and unkind.
"Matchmaker Sun, you can’t say that. My grandson is quite good-looking too, just a bit short. Who knows, maybe he and the village chief’s granddaughter will fancy each other? You can’t deny us even a chance, right?" Mrs. Zhao held back her anger and spoke with a smile.
"Mrs. Zhao, do you not understand or what? Do you want to spell it out for you? Your grandson may be good-looking, but his eyes are so small they are almost invisible, not to ntion his height, which seems shorter than , an old woman. How can you lack awareness? Hurry away, think about the chief’s wife’s temperant, and Jin’er’s strength, do you think your grandson can handle it?"
Her words were unpalatable, yet hit the nail on the head. Mrs. Sun was truly looking out for their family, fearing a bad match would lead to trouble. Any mismatched suitors would only anger Mrs. Hua, bringing misfortune to the Zhao family ultimately.
Mrs. Zhao’s eyes flickered with hope, still unwilling to let go, she timidly said, "It’s not about looks for n, the key is if they cherish their wives. Rest assured, our family will definitely be good to daughters-in-law. Just..."
"Enough! Look at how your daughter-in-law fared being by your side, and tell you really an those words. Leave quickly, if I say no, it’s no. Don’t bla later if I ignore your family’s matters."
These words were undeniably harsh. No family lacked offspring, and everyone in the village acknowledged Mrs. Sun’s role. To offend her would be unwise, losing far more than gaining. Considering this, Mrs. Zhao had no choice but to give up.
Once the people were sent off, Mrs. Sun drank a glass of water, already feeling drained from the day’s happenings, not to ntion her family’s water supply dwindling.
Just as she sat down to rest, another knock ca at the door, making Mrs. Sun, who had just settled, roll her eyes. She signaled her daughter-in-law to quickly open the door.
Though she knew the purpose, she couldn’t deny entrance to visitors. In such worldly matters, Mrs. Sun couldn’t bring herself to be so heartless.
