Chapter 30

The matchmaker finally put down her bowl and chopsticks, and praised Song’s father and mother with a look of satisfaction: “You are so lucky to have a daughter who is not only beautiful, but also has amazing cooking skills. Thank you so much for having such a delicious meal.”

Although Song Ruan’s parents thought that their daughter was indeed good, they still smiled and talked to her modestly.

Song Ruan waited until they had finished talking, and then spoke at the right time: “What’s the big deal? It’s the aunt who is busy all over for my brother’s marriage.”

The matchmaker smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I will do my best to help you with the matter of Zhang Caihong, the girl from the Zhang family. The rumor that all the money of the Song Wen family was given to his grandmother is just a false rumor. How can it be possible, right?”

“It’s not a rumor, it’s true.”

Song Wen, who had been working silently tonight, finally spoke.

“This is the current situation at my home. I don’t want to date or get married yet. I just want to work hard to make life better for my family.”

Song Baoguo felt guilty when he heard this: “Boss, don’t talk nonsense. Dad will find a way to deal with the money. It’s not your turn to worry about these things at home.”

Ye Hongmei was both relieved and sad. Her son was already 22 years old, but he was still unable to get married because of the burden of his family. This time, she was determined to arrange her son’s marriage no matter what.

“Your father is right. When people grow up, they have to get married. They can’t talk like children.” After Ye Hongmei finished speaking to Song Wen, she turned to the matchmaker and said, “Aunt, don’t worry about the betrothal money. You can borrow it even if you need to. Ask Miss Zhang to come over sometime to meet you.”

“Why must you choose Zhang Caihong? Since she dislikes our family, can’t you look for other girls?”

Song Ruan asked what she had always wanted to ask.

The matchmaker, who had already had enough tea and food, did not mind and patiently explained, “This matchmaking is not done casually. Let’s not talk about other things. Just your brother’s age is relatively old. There are not many people of the same age as him, and there are even fewer who meet your requirements.”

“Auntie, please think about it carefully. Is there any better girl?” Song Ruan shook the matchmaker’s arm coquettishly and used the same trick she used on her parents.

“My brother has many good qualities. He is a steady and stable person who manages the household well. He is also a good student with a high school diploma. He works hard and most importantly, he is good-looking… You can’t find such a good person even if you search with a lantern.”

Song Ruan’s unabashed praise of her elder brother made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere, which was a bit serious just now, eased a lot in an instant.

The matchmaker couldn’t help laughing. After she finished laughing, she suddenly slapped her thigh and said, “Now that you mention it, I think of someone. She is two years younger than Song Wen and is also from Xishui Village. Although she doesn’t talk much, she is very hardworking. And she is very pretty, with big breasts and a nice butt. You can tell at a glance that she is a good childbearer. The most important thing is that she doesn’t want a dowry.”

Song Wen blushed when he heard the matchmaker’s vulgar words.

He asked, “What does she want?”

The conditions are so good, and he doesn’t even want a dowry, but he hasn’t married yet. That means he must want something else.

The matchmaker sighed, “She wants her marriage partner to agree to let her bring her seven-year-old brother with her, and she also wants the person to be satisfactory to her. So over the years, she refused to give in to some of the worse ones, and the better ones didn’t agree to her conditions, so the marriage has been delayed until now.”

Ye Hongmei’s eyes widened: “She’s going to bring her brother to marry her, so her family… is there no adult left?”

“That’s not the case. I have a stepmother. If I have a stepmother, I also have a stepfather.”

Ye Hongmei sighed: “Alas, it turns out that he has a miserable life.”

“Then make an appointment to meet her. If she likes me, I will marry her.”

Song Wen’s words made Ye Hongmei very angry. “What nonsense are you talking about? Go away. Your parents still have the final say on your marriage.”

She knew that her eldest son was doing this for the good of the family and didn’t want his family to borrow money for his marriage, but the girl’s situation was too complicated.

“Bringing a seven-year-old brother here is like our eldest son raising someone else’s son…”

Song Ruan’s ideas were not as old-fashioned as her parents’. She felt that the girl had her own opinions.

Seeing her mother say this, she couldn’t help but say, “Mom, think positively, it’s a waste for my brother to have such a big son.”

These two siblings really gave Ye Hongmei a headache, so she quickly drove these troublesome people out of the hall.

“Go away, the adults are talking about serious matters. You kids should go away and stop interfering.”

You can leave if you want, but it is impossible not to get involved. Song Ruan has a very good attitude.

After being kicked out of the hall, Song Ruan went to the kitchen to process the red dates she had picked today, and waited to make red date cakes to sell in town the next morning.

Then she went to take a shower. After taking a shower, she planned to build the remaining pig pens in the space. When she went to town tomorrow, she would buy some more piglets and chicks to raise in the space.

Today she built a pigpen, went up the mountain, and cooked when she came back. She was all sticky, so it took her a long time to take a shower and wash her hair. After she came out, the matchmaker had left.

She was not worried. She would just wait and see about her elder brother’s marriage.

“Little sister, come here.”

Ye Hongmei called Song Ruan aside and asked, “You have been dating Yang Bin for a while. What do you think of him?”

Song Ruan didn’t expect her mother to ask her this, she nodded: “Yeah, it’s good.”

“He sent a bicycle today…”

Before Ye Hongmei could finish her words, Song Wu came in and interrupted her.

“Mom, Yang Bin is here. He said he’s here to return the dishes.”

As soon as Song Wu finished speaking, a tall figure walked into the yard.

The features of his face were handsome and strong, his body bones were broad, his body was full of strong muscles, and his wheat-colored skin was firm and strong.

Ye Hongmei looked at her daughter again.

She had just finished a shower and was wearing a loose short-sleeved pajamas, but she could still be seen as a grown-up girl. Her exposed skin was extremely white, like a freshly peeled lychee, white and translucent.

The dark-skinned one and the fair one, the tall and strong one and the petite one, should have been incompatible, but now they seem inexplicably well-matched.
