Chapter 236 Matchmaking is not easy

Ye Suying stepped forward and tugged at Zhang Juexia's clothes, "Sister-in-law, I really leave this matter to you."

"Have you told your mother what you just said?"

"I didn't dare to say it! Anyway, you know my mother's temper. She is usually very reasonable, but when it comes to me, she loses her mind.

Sister-in-law, I can’t stay in the workshop for another day. I know I’m not cut out for embroidery, but my mother insisted on asking me to learn.”

Ye Suying became more and more pitiful as she spoke, "Sister-in-law, my mother listens to you the most. You must talk to her nicely. My future happiness depends on you."

After saying this, Ye Suying bowed solemnly to Zhang Juexia and ran away.

Zhang Juexia entered Liu Jinhua's house. Ye Yunquan saw her first and said, "Jinhua, Bei Xiu's wife is here. Come out and greet her."

"Uncle, you're welcome."

Liu Jinhua heard the noise and trotted out, "I was just thinking of looking for you! Look at my mouth."

Zhang Juexia looked at Liu Jinhua's mouth covered with blisters and asked, "Auntie, what is this?"

"Don't mention it. It's all because of Su Ying. I was anxious. I got irritated when I was anxious, and that's why the blisters on my mouth appeared."

Liu Jinhua asked Zhang Juexia to sit down and made her some tea.

"You wouldn't come to my house if you had nothing to do. Tell me, is it Liu who asked you to come?"

Seeing Liu Jinhua so straightforward, Zhang Juexia didn't need to prepare a draft of how to start the conversation, so he just went straight to the point, "Grandma Liu asked me to propose marriage on behalf of her grandson."

After that, she placed the purse on the table and said, "This is ten taels of silver. Grandma Liu asked me to bring it here."

Liu Jinhua stared at the purse with doubt, "How can their family afford so much money?"

"Aunt, you are being a bit disrespectful. Grandma Liu even said that your family can ask for any conditions they want. As long as they don't let Liu Wanfeng steal or rob, they will agree to them."

"Then keep him away from my daughter."

Ye Yunquan helped Ye Jidong in. Ye Jidong coughed dryly, "I don't know. You are so powerful. Have you ever seen anyone talk to a matchmaker like this?"

Liu Jinhua immediately became cautious when she saw Ye Jidong, "Dad, why are you here?"

"If I don't come soon, I'm afraid my granddaughter's good marriage will be delayed."

Zhang Juexia stood up and saluted Ye Jidong, "Hello, Grandpa!"

Ye Jidong smiled and made way for Zhang Juexia, "Hurry up and sit down, hurry up and sit down. I just heard someone at the door. What conditions did the Liu family ask our family to put forward? They all agreed to them."

"That's what Grandma Liu said."

Ye Jidong pondered for a moment, "Bei Xiu is a good young man. Logically speaking, people who can become friends with Bei Xiu must have good character.

But we are a family after all, so tell me the truth today, what do you think of Liu Wanfeng?"

"Master, didn't you just say that?"

"Then I'll ask you again, how much do you pay him every month when he works for your family?"

"It's more than one tael of silver. As long as he raises the chickens well, there will be more in the future."

Ye Jidong glanced at Liu Jinhua and started talking to himself, "There aren't many people in our town who can earn one or two taels of silver a month."

After hearing what his father said, Ye Yunquan became interested and quickly asked Zhang Juexia, "Is Liu Wanfeng an orphan with only an elderly grandmother?"

Zhang Juexia nodded.

"Without a mother-in-law to pressure you, and earning more than one tael of silver a month, with such good conditions, why are you still looking for a wife?"

"It must be that Grandma Liu is old and sick, and he has been busy taking care of her and has no time to care about too much."

Zhang Juexia told Liu Wanfeng everything she knew about his conditions. After all, she had come to help propose marriage. Although she didn't understand the rules, she had to be honest and not hide anything.

Ye Jidong nodded and said, "He is a filial child. Bei Xiu's wife, take these ten taels of silver back and return them to the Liu family."

"this......"

"Daughter-in-law Bei Xiu, please don't misunderstand me. We still like Liu Wanfeng very much, but it's not that simple for our Ye family to marry off a girl.

Please also ask the Liu family who will be responsible for keeping Liu Wanfeng's wages in the future."

"Then I'll go now."

Zhang Juexia came to the back mountain panting. When Wen saw her, she hurriedly poured her a glass of water and asked her to drink it.

Liu Wanfeng also put down his work and came over. "Sister-in-law, how is it?"

Zhang Juexia drank the water and calmed down. "Grandpa, the village head, asked me to ask you a question. Who will keep your wages from now on?"

Wen understood, "I'm old and confused. Wanfeng is a man, how could he understand these things? He's married, so naturally he gave it to his wife for safekeeping."

Liu Wanfeng nodded in agreement, "What my grandma said is what I want to say too."

Zhang Juexia returned the purse to Wen Shi, who asked in surprise, "Girl, tell me the truth, is this a hopeless situation?"

Zhang Juexia patted Wen's hand and said, "Grandma, please be patient. Good things take time. I'll tell you later."

Zhang Juexia took a deep breath, went down the mountain and entered the village.

On the way, she thought that being a matchmaker was not easy and it really made her run around.

Zhang Juexia conveyed the words of the Liu family's grandparents to the Ye family.

Ye Jidong told Zhang Juexia very politely, "Bei Xiu's wife, you've really worked hard on Su Ying's matter.

But marriage is such a big deal, how can we treat it lightly? Let us think about it for two days, and then let your aunt give you a reply, okay?"

How could Zhang Juexia say no? He quickly got up and left.

Liu Jinhua politely saw Zhang Juexia out the door, and only returned home after Zhang Juexia walked away.

Seeing Liu Jinhua enter, Ye Jidong frowned and started to scold her, "You are really stupid. Su Ying's marriage was almost delayed by you."

Liu Jinhua turned her head away unconvincedly, "How can it be better? Our life is so hard, we have no house or land, and we have a half-dead old man to take care of.

Compared to the Zhao family in the town that Ye Suyun found, it’s far inferior.”

Ye Jidong pointed at Liu Jinhua angrily and said, "I usually see you working in the workshop with Bei Xiu's wife, thinking you can learn some of her cleverness, but in the end, you didn't learn anything.

You want Su Ying to marry in town, but have you ever thought about what she has to offer, or why the people in town would choose Su Ying?

"How can you know if you haven't tried?"

"You say the Zhao family is good, but the one who has a bright future is Zhao Xiang, not the third son of the Zhao family.

If Suyun marries there, she will have a mother-in-law above her and two sisters-in-law to deal with. Do you think Suying, with her personality, can adapt to marrying into such a family?"
