Chapter 14
Tian Cuifen lifted the door curtain and saw a strange woman standing in the yard.
“Who are you?”
She looked the matchmaker up from head to toe and saw that she was dressed neatly and her clothes were not patched at all. It was obvious that she was not from the countryside.
The matchmaker smiled gently and asked politely, “Aunt, is this Su Ying’s family?”
“Yes, if you have something to say, just tell me directly?”
Tian Cuifen had a fierce look on her face and had no intention of letting the matchmaker into the house. Who knew what she was here for.
The matchmaker’s smile froze. Could this be Lu Dongsheng’s future mother-in-law?
Like mother, like daughter. If the mother has no manners at all and looks at people with squinting eyes, the daughter will definitely not be any better.
This boy is really something. I don’t know what he likes about this girl. If this girl has a bad character, he won’t have a good life if he marries her.
The matchmaker was already beginning to feel reluctant, but since she had promised Dongsheng, she had to try her best. If this matter could not be accomplished, it would not be her business.
The matchmaker forced a smile and said softly, “Aunt, I’m the matchmaker from the commune. I heard that there’s a girl named Su Ying in your family, and there just happened to be a boy who likes her. I’m here to propose marriage.”
Talk about marriage?
This dead girl is so lucky. She just broke off the engagement with Jiang Xiaofei, and before she was picked up by her agreed in-laws, another person came to propose marriage.
She opened her mouth to say that Su Ying had already arranged a marriage, but she was afraid that this matter would be spread out and criticized, so she thought for a moment and said, “If you don’t want to marry, then leave now.”
Tian Cuifen was about to kick the man out, but the matchmaker saw that she was not easy to talk to, so she said directly: “Auntie, please listen to me first. This guy works in the army, and he is also a high-ranking official. He also has a monthly allowance of 60 or 70 yuan. He is also very handsome. Anyway, you only have one daughter in your family. If she marries him, she will definitely have a good life in the future. Please consider it.”
The matchmaker said so much in one breath that she almost couldn’t breathe.
The other party works in the army?
A monthly allowance of sixty or seventy yuan?
Oh my god, this year it must cost seven or eight hundred, right?
How could such a good thing fall into the hands of that little bastard Su Ying?
The matchmaker was right, she is her only biological daughter.
Anyway, this little bitch will be picked up the day after tomorrow, so it would be better to let her daughter take over the marriage.
If you think about it carefully, this is simply a great thing. Oh my, Xiuxiu is so lucky that even God is helping this girl in disguise.
“Okay, but do we need to let the two children meet each other?”
“Don’t worry, the man’s family is waiting for your message. If you agree, I will bring him to their house in a few days so that the two children can meet him.
Her aunt, you don’t know how good that child is. I don’t have a daughter, but if I had one, I would want her to marry him.”
Tian Cuifen was skeptical. Is it really that exaggerated?
“Don’t talk big yet. I’ll accept this first. If the boy doesn’t look good enough for my daughter, I’ll cancel the marriage.”
“Okay, okay, I promise you’ll like that boy.”
“Okay then, put your things down first.”
After saying so much, the matchmaker was still hoping to get some food, but in the end she didn’t even get any. She has been matchmaking for people for so many years, but she has never met a family with such poor human touch.
The matchmaker laughed dryly and put the things down. Tian Cuifen stared straight at the things on the table, and the greed in her eyes could not be hidden.
Seeing that the matchmaker was still not leaving, she tutted and said in a very bad manner: “Why are you still standing here if you’re not leaving?”
Matchmaker: …
Could it be that Dongsheng had made a mistake?
No, no, I have to go back and persuade him.
“Okay, see you next time.”
The matchmaker left awkwardly, and before she even stepped out of the door, she held the cigarettes and alcohol in her arms and examined them.
Oh my goodness, this is top-quality liquor, and a bottle costs at least three or four yuan.
The matchmaker looked back at her and sighed as she turned her head back.
It’s over, it’s over. If I really have a mother-in-law like this, I’m really done for.
The matchmaker came out of Su’s house and was thinking of asking a villager how to get to the clinic. Just then she saw a little girl carrying a basket and walking towards them with a smile.
When the matchmaker saw it, her eyes lit up and she couldn’t suppress the smile on her face.
“Miss, please tell me how to get to the clinic in your village?”
Su Ying paused and said politely, “Auntie, go in that direction and pass a wheat field. There is a row of houses in front of the wheat field. That is the brigade yard, and the health center is inside.”
“Oh, thank you, little girl. You are so pretty.”
“Thank you, Auntie. I’ll be leaving now.”
Su Ying walked towards home carrying a basket with a brand new red dress in it.
The matchmaker couldn’t help but look back at her back. The little girl was full of energy, walking with a breeze under her feet, and looked in good spirits.
She is not bad looking, but she hasn’t grown up yet. If she grows up, she will definitely be a real beauty.
This girl is a perfect match for Dongsheng. One is strong and healthy, and the other is full of energy. The two of them standing together are so beautiful just to think about.
What a pity, that boy likes the girl named Su Ying.
Soon, the matchmaker came to the clinic in the direction Su Ying pointed. Lu Dongsheng was delighted to see the matchmaker empty-handed.
“Aunt, are you done talking about this?”
The matchmaker was about to tell Zhang Shengli what she had seen and how she felt, but when she saw Zhang Shengli who was equally curious, she held back.
She pulled Lu Dongsheng aside and whispered, “Dongsheng, let me tell you, I feel that family is unreliable.”
Her voice was not very loud, but Zhang Shengli still heard it.
Zhang Shengli muttered quietly, “That’s right, she’s her stepmother, it’s strange that she can be trusted.”
The matchmaker glanced at Lu Dongsheng and said, “Aunt, just tell him without worry. He is one of our own.”
The matchmaker frowned and raised her arms and said, “Hey Dongsheng, why don’t you change someone else? That woman doesn’t look easy to deal with. I don’t think a mother like that can raise a good daughter.
Trust me this time. I have been matchmaking for many years and I am very good at judging people.”
Lu Dongsheng soon realized that the family was not a good one, and because he knew that, he had to quickly marry her home.
“Aunt, didn’t her mother agree?”
“I agreed. When I heard that you had a job and a monthly allowance of 60 to 70 yuan, my eyes instantly became as bright as light bulbs, flickering.
She said she would let you meet in a few days because she was worried that I might lie to them. “
Lu Dongsheng thought so too. He had to meet her no matter what so that her stepmother could see who he was.
She had to agree whether she wanted to or not.
“Okay, Auntie, thank you for what you did today. Take this dollar as your fare back home. I’ll go to her house with you in a few days.”
“Okay, then we have a deal, but you still have to keep in mind what Auntie said.”
If her character is too bad, it will ruin her reputation as a matchmaker in the future.
