Chapter 267: Marrying My Sister 7 I won’t be your matchmaker, that’s it…

Yao Zhizhi still can't remember anything about her childhood.

There were indeed some fragments of it when we first recognized each other, but that was all.

Therefore, she had no feelings towards Yao Ningning, only disgust.

She hated that Yao Ningning knew the truth but didn't tell her. She hated that Yao Ningning kept silent all day long, being weak and vulnerable, and could be bullied by anyone.

Even if Yao Taotao told her that she and Yao Ningning had the best relationship in the previous eighteen years, it would not change her dislike for Yao Ningning.

It was just for Yao Taotao's sake that he was too lazy to settle accounts with Yao Ningning. But now, Uncle Fan Wen actually expected her to be a matchmaker for him, and the target was Yao Ningning?

Yao Zhizhi refused without hesitation: "This is your marriage, why are you looking for me? I don't have time, you should figure it out yourself."

Uncle Fan Wen didn't understand. "Can you help me? If I marry her, the Tan family will help the sisters change their identities and get rid of the influence. You have such a good relationship with Yao Taotao, don't you want her to live a good life?"

Yao Zhizhi's face turned cold, and she ordered them to leave: "My affairs with them are none of your business. It's your freedom to marry whoever you want. Don't come to me. I won't interfere, but I won't act as a matchmaker for you either. That's it."

Uncle Fan Wen ran over with great anticipation, but unexpectedly hit a wall and was completely confused.

I had to go to the primary school and find Yao Taotao directly.

Yao Taotao was a little surprised after hearing his idea: "You haven't even met my sister, why do you want to marry her? Did your second sister-in-law instigate it?"

"How do you know?" Uncle Fan Wen was shocked. Is it so easy to guess what his second sister-in-law is like?

Yao Taotao laughed angrily: "Of course, your second sister-in-law has repeatedly come to me and Editor Yao to talk about it several times. Really, I don't know what she is thinking."

Uncle Fan Wen was getting more and more confused. "I could understand your reluctance before, but why are you doing this now?"

Yao Taotao didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore and explained, "My sister did something wrong, and Editor-in-Chief Yao is angry with her. If you marry my sister, not only will you not benefit from Editor-in-Chief Yao's influence, but she will also despise you. I think you should find someone else. The one at the publishing house named Zhao Maimiao is quite good. She's tall, well-built, and quick-tempered, which is a perfect complement to you. Zhao Maimiao is also Editor-in-Chief Yao's right-hand man. If you really want to get close to Editor-in-Chief Yao, Zhao Maimiao is the most suitable person. As for Ding Can, you can also consider her, but her personality is not as cheerful as Zhao Maimiao's. You should weigh the pros and cons for yourself."

Uncle Fan Wen was silent for a long time, then asked, "Don't you want your sister to be happy? I'm not a strong-willed person, but I won't bully her, right? I don't want to find a strong woman, because I'd feel miserable every day. Your sister is introverted, which is just right for me. As for taking advantage of others, that's my second sister-in-law's idea. I don't pursue that. I've already worked in the archives, which is respectable and relaxing. The Tan family owes me a lot, so if I really want to take advantage of them, I can do so from them."

Yao Taotao wavered, hesitated again and again, and asked, "Will your adoptive mother live with you?"

"No, I've set up my own business. But then, if I get married and have children, the woman might need to take care of them alone." Uncle Fan Wen is not a man without his own opinions. He was just spoiled by the Fan family. He has settled down a lot during his time in the provincial capital.

He really didn't want to find a strong woman, as he couldn't handle her, and he didn't want to find one with a prominent family background, as that would suffocate him.

Yao Ningning is pretty good. She has no background, is unlikely to cause trouble, and is even less likely to ride on his head and shit on him.

He really wants to get married and hopes Yao Taotao will consider it carefully.

Yao Taotao fell into deep thought again. To be honest, she was a little moved.

Her sister is indeed too cowardly. It is definitely not a good idea for her to find a man with a strong personality. It is not easy for someone like Uncle Fan Wen to bully her.

And... since Uncle Fan Wen has gone to the government office, no one will dare to bully Ningning anymore.

Isn't this what society is like? People flatter the powerful and look down on the weak, and bully the weak and fear the strong.

With parents like that, these sisters naturally can't be strong. Given the current environment, they themselves don't have many opportunities to shine. At this time, having a spouse with a decent job is indeed like a second life.

Yao Taotao sighed: "You go back first. I'll take you to meet my sister after get off work. We can talk about the rest later."

At lunch time that day, Yao Taotao went to the courtyard of Liutiao Hutong and introduced the two to each other.

Yao Ningning was quite willing.

She is not young anymore, so it is not a big deal for her to take care of her sisters' children all the time.

Uncle Fan Wen is willing to help all the sisters change their identities and start over, which is really great.

She was not a talkative person, so she just nodded and left everything to Yao Taotao to discuss.

Finally, they reached an agreement on a betrothal gift of 200 yuan, which Yao Ningning would keep for herself, and Yao Taotao would give a dowry of 500 yuan, which she would have to pay for in three rounds and one ring.

Uncle Fan Wen was quite surprised and asked, "You are so generous, does your wife have any objections?"

Yao Taotao smiled and said, "I earned all the money myself, so I can spend it however I want."

Uncle Fan Wen smiled and said, "Well, if that's the case, then I won't prepare anything."

"You should prepare a bicycle so that you two can share the space." Yao Taotao still had some requirements. As Yao Ningning's second elder sister, she was willing to be generous and let her sister marry in style, but this did not mean that Uncle Fan Wen could not prepare anything.

Uncle Fan Wen had no objection and moved the house in the afternoon.

When Yao Zhizhi came home from get off work, she passed by Aunt Qian's house and saw Yao Ningning helping inside. She immediately knew that the marriage was a done deal.

After dinner, Yao Taotao came to her to apologize, "I'm sorry, Zhizhi, I agree to this marriage. My eldest sister and I both had unhappy marriages, and Mengmeng was deceived by Zhao Hesheng and had a miscarriage before she got together with Liu Hongwei and has a relatively warm family. Ningning is the only one among the sisters who still has a chance of happiness, and I don't want to find Ningning a second marriage. Among the first marriages, only Uncle Fan Wen has good conditions. Don't be angry, okay?"

Yao Zhizhi was not angry. She was no longer a member of their family. She simply didn't like Yao Ningning, that was all.

She looked at the question in her hand calmly and said, "I'm going to be busy now. If you have nothing else to do, go back."

Yao Taotao opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing and turned away.

It was late at night and she tossed and turned, unable to sleep, fearing that Yao Zhizhi would become estranged from her.

The next day, she found another family in Liu Tiao Hutong, spent some money, and asked them to exchange their yard with Uncle Fan Wen.

This way, Yao Zhizhi wouldn't have to see Yao Ningning every day on her way to and from get off work, which would make her feel uncomfortable.

Uncle Fan Wen had no objection. Anyway, he didn't expect to rely on Yao Zhizhi's help. He just wanted to close the door and live a good life.

The next day, he went through another hassle and moved to Liutiao Hutong, living one after the other with Yao Yingying.

The wedding date was set for the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.

On this day, the sky was clear and blue.

It was a great day. Yao Taotao let Yao Ningning marry out of the yard she bought, and she became Uncle Fan Wen's spouse happily and gloriously.

There were nine tables at the banquet, and people from six alleys and surrounding neighbors were invited, but one table was left empty and no one came.

The gossipy old lady grabbed Yao Taotao and asked, "Tao'er, are those the man's relatives at that table? Or yours? Why aren't any of them here?"

Yao Taotao smiled and said nothing.

Even though she knew Zhizhi would not come, she still prepared seats for their family.

She also knew that this was a bit self-indulgent, but she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart.

Back then, among the sisters, Ningning and Zhizhi were the most compatible. One was a taciturn person, and the other was a coward.

The two of them used to go in and out together and were inseparable, but now they have become strangers.

How can it not make people sad?

But no matter what, she finally had her mind at ease. From now on, she would have no younger sister to marry off.

As for her and her elder sister, both are divorced, so they are not in a hurry. They just wait for the right person. It's fine like this.

After the banquet, she helped clean up the yard and put away all the extra food, and reminded them: "These are all good dishes. It's cold, so they won't go bad. Don't throw them away. Heat them up slowly and eat them."

Yao Ningning understood, nodded, and raised her hand to help brush off the fallen leaves on Yao Taotao.

When Yao Taotao was leaving, she held Yao Taotao's hand and insisted on giving Yao Taotao the two hundred yuan betrothal gift and the five hundred yuan dowry.

Yao Taotao refused to take it, and directly stuffed it into her pocket, scolding her: "Don't be so hypocritical, just take it when I tell you to. Live a good life."

Yao Ningning couldn't persuade her second sister, so she had to give up.

After they consummated their marriage that night, she cried. Uncle Fan Wen thought he had hurt her and stood up to apologize: "It's my fault. I will be gentler next time."

Yao Ningning shook her head. She wasn't crying because of this, she was just sad.

Uncle Fan Wen coaxed the child for a while and finally got him to fall asleep.

Although he didn't know why she was crying, he was quite attracted by this kind of woman who didn't cause trouble.

The next morning, he consoled her, "I don't know why you're sad, but it can't be any more heartbreaking than when my parents disowned me, right? Let's be open-minded. From now on, we'll be together, working together with our hearts and minds. Life will be better."

Yao Ningning nodded, tugged at his clothes, and looked at him pleadingly.

Uncle Fan Wen was unfamiliar with her and didn't understand her thoughts, so he asked kindly, "What's wrong? We're already married. Just tell me what you want to say. Don't be afraid."

"I... I don't have a job, so I'm going to take care of my eldest sister's children." Yao Ningning mustered up the courage and told her plan.

Uncle Fan Wen smiled: "Just for this? Okay, go ahead, we can talk about other things after we have children."

Yao Ningning breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the man her second sister chose for her was pretty good.

She finally managed a smile: "Thank you."

After Uncle Fan Wen went to work, Yao Ningning grabbed a bag of White Rabbit milk candies and ran to the courtyard by the lake. She peeked around and saw that no one was inside. Then she ran to the mailbox and wanted to put the candies in.

Unfortunately, the mailbox was locked, so I had to put the candy on top of the mailbox.

At noon, Yao Zhizhi came back and saw the candy in the mailbox and threw it away directly.

In the blink of an eye, it’s the end of the year and the New Year is coming soon. Every household is busy making steamed buns, tofu, and rice cakes...

Walking in the alley, the air was filled with the smell of fireworks. Yao Zhizhi naturally discovered that Uncle Fan Wen and the others had moved away, but she was too lazy to ask where they had moved to.

In short, the new family is a friendly one and seems easy to get along with.

When she came home from work that day, she saw a snow-white parrot holding a letter and flying from the distant sky with its wings flapping.

Oh, it was that guy Yiyi who transformed!

Soon, Yiyi stopped on the handlebar in front of her. She took the envelope, opened it, and instantly smiled.
