Chapter 6 Marriage Proposal

"Oh, mom, I'm serious." Jiang Xinbai stamped her feet anxiously.

Chen Cui'e said with a fierce look on her face, "Behave yourself. Don't be jealous just because your second sister found a boyfriend in the city. Don't do anything rash and just grab anyone."

"Mom, it's true," Jiang Xinbai gritted her teeth, "To tell you the truth, I've been dating Yang Jinsheng for a long time, but I'm not old enough, and my second sister hasn't settled down yet, so I can't get ahead of her, so I haven't told my family yet."

Chen Cui'e looked at her little daughter's serious expression and frowned, "Really?"

"Of course it's true." Jiang Xinbai nodded heavily.

Chen Cui'e suddenly stood up, chased Jiang Xinbai and started to fight, cursing in a low voice, "You dead girl, I let you make your own decisions. How old are you, and you're already dating someone..."

"Oh, mom, keep your voice down. I've already told you this. Besides, I'm going to be eighteen soon. Some people in the village who are younger than me are already mothers. I'm not young anymore."

Jiang Xinbai defended herself, saying that she knew it was wrong to date Yang Jinsheng without telling her family, but if she wasn't bolder, she would end up being a farmer her whole life. But if she married Yang Jinsheng, it would be different, maybe she could get a job as a worker, or at least have a husband who was a worker, how respectable.

"How can it be the same? They are people, and you are you. Did I teach you this?"

"Why is it different? Besides, if my second sister can do it, why can't I? Mom, you are biased." Jiang Xinbai pouted and looked at his mother angrily.

"I am partial?" Chen Cui'e pointed at herself, and then couldn't help but twisted the soft flesh on her little daughter's waist a few times, "I am partial, you little heartless person, my kindness to you has been thrown away, and I am still partial. How old is your second sister, and how old are you?"

"Anyway, I don't care. I've already found someone myself. If he proposes to me, you can't refuse, mom." Jiang Xinbai looked like he was going to marry her.

Chen Cui'e also knew that her little daughter had been a successful person since she was young and would not suffer any loss easily. She also understood that the two daughters were both ambitious and were going to the city, but they really let them catch up.

"Marry, marry! Are you ashamed, girl? Just marry after you know everything about her family situation?" Chen Cui'e said unhappily.

"I've found out everything. Yang Jinsheng told me. What's more, his salary for the past two months is with me." Jiang Xinbai looked a little smug when she said this. Look, she said she could control Yang Jinsheng. Even before they got married, she had the money in her hands.

Upon hearing this, Chen Cui'e asked with a fierce face, "Did you really take the money?"

Jiang Xinbai looked at his mother's angry expression and whispered, "He stuffed it into my hands and I didn't spend it. I was just saving it for him." He thought to himself that he would give it to me sooner or later anyway.

Chen Cui'e took a deep breath and pointed at her little daughter, "You, return the money to them immediately."

"Mom~" Jiang Xinbai wanted to act like a spoiled child, but when she saw the stern look in her eyes, she nodded reluctantly, "I know. I'll give it back to him when I see him later."

Chen Cui'e looked at her little daughter's aggrieved expression and sighed, "Xiao Bai, you can't take some money. You have to understand that if you don't do it right, your reputation will be ruined, understand?"

Jiang Xinbai nodded. She wouldn't take money from just anyone, and Yang Jinsheng was different.

"Tell me more about the Yang family. I want to find out more about it."

…

Although Sun Erni asked Xu Fengni about Jiang Xinbai, she was still worried. She then found a lot of relatives to inquire about the Jiang family. She was relieved only after confirming that the Jiang family was a sensible family.

Then, at the urging of his youngest son, he brought the matchmaker to the Jiang family.

"Is anyone home?" Matchmaker Chen and Sun Erni stood at the gate of the yard and called softly.

Wu Hehua was hanging clothes in the yard. When she heard the noise, she quickly went forward and opened the door, asking in confusion, "What are you doing?"

Matchmaker Chen replied with a smile on her face: "Hey, I'm Matchmaker Chen from the county. Is your mother-in-law home?"

"Matchmaker?" Wu Hehua was stunned, then said, "My second sister has already been engaged. Did you find the wrong one?"

"You're right. Let's talk to your mother-in-law." Matchmaker Chen pushed Wu Hehua aside and led everyone inside.

At this time, Chen Cui'e also walked out of the main room. Seeing the two strangers appearing in the yard, she was stunned and said, "Hehua, who is this?"

"Mom, she said she was a matchmaker, but my second sister is not..."

After hearing this, Chen Cui'e waved her hand and said, "Bring two glasses of water to the two aunts." Then she smiled at Matchmaker Chen and said, "Let's go upstairs and talk."

Wu Hehua was confused. How could a matchmaker come when her second sister was already engaged? Her mother-in-law was not surprised at all. Then she thought of her sister-in-law Jiang Xinbai. Hey, maybe she came to arrange a marriage for her. That was good. If she got married, the family would have more space.

Inside the house, Chen Cui'e saw that her eldest daughter-in-law was reluctant to leave after delivering water. She frowned and said, "Hehua, go to the private plot and pick all the ripe vegetables."

Wu Hehua curled her lips, knowing that her mother-in-law was trying to get her away on purpose. She had no choice but to pick up the basket and leave.

After everyone left, Chen Cui'e finally had time to look at Sun Erni who came with Chen the matchmaker. She had a plump face, a constant smile on her face, and two bags of cakes in her hands. She didn't show any disdainful expression when she first entered her yard, so she must be a person who is easy to get along with.

Matchmaker Chen clapped her hands and smiled, "Oh, look at me, I even forgot to introduce myself. Sister, my last name is Chen, you can just call me Matchmaker Chen. This is Miss Sun, she's attracted to your little daughter, so she asked me to come to your house to propose marriage."

As soon as she finished speaking, Sun Erni smiled and said, "Yes, our boy accidentally saw Xin Bai and fell in love with her, so he urged me, as a mother, to propose marriage. I am forty-four years old this year, and seeing that you are a few years younger than me, I just called you Sister Chen."

Chen Cui'e raised her lips slightly and said secretly happily: "I am one year older than you, and you are still younger." As a woman, it is always happy to be told that she is young, so she felt happy in her tone.

Sun Erni looked extremely surprised. "Oh, you are one year older than me. I can't tell. I thought you were a few years younger than me. Sister Chen, you really know how to take care of yourself."

"No, no, I'm from the countryside. How can I take care of myself? I'm too busy every day."

Matchmaker Chen watched the two of them chatting animatedly and interrupted with a smile, "That's right, Miss Chen has fair skin, so she looks young. No wonder she can raise such a beautiful daughter."
