Lin Shucheng and Lin Jinyue's attitude is already very clear.

But I also understand matchmakers in this era.

The custom of Dagan is that women can have sex as soon as they have their first period.

In the surrounding villages, girls usually start getting engaged when they are eight or nine years old, and get married when they are twelve or thirteen and start menstruating.

Many people are already parents of two children by the age of fifteen or sixteen.

Lin Jinyue knew about this, but she couldn't control the people from other villages. Everyone in her own village was busy with construction, and even Tiezhu, who was sixteen, was still unmarried.

It's probably because her father always said he wasn't in a hurry when it came to her and her brother's marriage.

It's also possible that other villages didn't explain it clearly either, and everyone just forgot because they were busy.

Other villages didn't have this concern. Even when Prince Jing was about to invade Lingnan, they would still get married as usual.

Neither Lin Jinyue nor Lin Shucheng were unreasonable people; they understood the village's customs and didn't mind too much.

Lin Shucheng also explained: "My wife and I only have one daughter, and we've spoiled her since she was little. I think our daughter is capable, and her brother and I will try to make money so that we can find a husband for her later."

Lin Jinyue nodded, "I'll listen to my father."

The matchmaker muttered to herself, "How could this son-in-law be any good? Don't blame me for being nosy, but I only thought of arranging this marriage because your daughter is pretty and your family is well-off."

"That family is very well-off. They own a farm and have a relative who works as a clerk in Guangcheng. They have a lot of influence with the county magistrate."

Lin Jinyue and her father were somewhat displeased upon hearing this.

Why are you subtly belittling people during this introduction?

What, is she introducing him to an ordinary guy with connections, or is her daughter marrying above her station?

Lin Shucheng was very unhappy. In his opinion, even the current Crown Prince and Crown Prince's grandson were not good enough for his daughter.

But they still didn't say anything.

That's how matchmaking works; everyone flatters the other party, and Lin Shucheng is familiar with it.

In his past life, he didn't know how many ugly and undesirable people he had protected for his daughter.

Moreover, there's no need to offend the matchmaker; her constant chatter only adds to the trouble.

I hadn't taken it to heart at first, but the matchmaker kept pressing me.

"Do you look down on this old woman? Go out and ask around. I, Granny Wang, have a great reputation in this area. I'm not saying this to boast, but if your daughter is out in public every day, I'd be willing to introduce her to the son of the wealthy Zhang family, a proper wife carried in a sedan chair. That would truly be a stroke of good luck for your ancestors."

"Why don't you appreciate my kindness? Introducing you is an honor. Otherwise, you're refugees who have come here from famine, and your daughter is still hanging out with those young masters every day. Who knows if she's a virtuous girl? Isn't it all thanks to my silver tongue that I can speak up for you?"

The referral fee offered by the Zhang family was truly generous. Regardless of whether it would work out or not, just introducing someone would earn you a few eggs in return, but the job couldn't be too bad.

Moreover, Wang the matchmaker thought Lin Jinyue was a good match, and even if the Zhang family was picky, keeping this young girl as a concubine or a secondary wife wouldn't be a problem.

She was trying every possible way to get the Lin family to agree.

Having finally found a girl who was barely a match for the young master of the Zhang family, how could Wang the matchmaker let her go?

She was too excited and didn't notice the increasingly gloomy expressions on Lin Shucheng's and the others' faces.

The matchmaker, Wang, kept talking incessantly, still trying to belittle Lin Jinyue.

Lin Jinyue: "Get out!"

If we give her some face, she'll really start a business?

Matchmaker Wang was taken aback.

She traveled all over the surrounding villages, and even at the Zhang family's house, they treated her with the utmost respect.

Who would dare offend a matchmaker?

Lin Shucheng and the others didn't care. Even if Lin Youcai was worried about the marriages of the young men and women in the village, he couldn't care less.

How dare they belittle the lucky star of their village?

Lin Youcai grabbed a broom and chased the people out.

When the villagers heard about it, they stopped what they were doing, chased the matchmaker away while cursing and swearing.

"What the hell do you think you are, daring to talk about our village's Fubao? I'll beat you to death with a hoe!"

"What? This matchmaker has such a gossipy mouth! Get out of here! If she comes to our village again, we'll beat her every time we see her!"

"You despicable bastard, go back to where you came from, do you really think you're someone important?"

Some people even threw trash at Wang the matchmaker.

They've made a good living, and the girls all have skills, so why worry about not finding a partner in the future?

The matchmaker, Wang, had never suffered such humiliation before, and left cursing and swearing.

When they returned to Wangxi Village, Wang the matchmaker cursed them all the way back.

She was genuinely angry.

“Let me tell you, you short-sighted people, you actually want to marry into Yunhe Village? Those people are a bunch of thugs, and any girl who marries them will only suffer.”

"What? You want to marry your son to a girl from Yunhe Village and you even want me to arrange a marriage for him? Oh dear, you don't know, those girls from Yunhe Village are really no good. They all learn kung fu, saying that if their mothers-in-law make things difficult for them after they get married, they'll just beat them up."

"What? Master Zhang, you said the young master has taken a fancy to that girl from the Lin family? Oh dear, what a coincidence! I, this old woman, also think that your young master is a rare talent, one in ten miles around. In all these miles around, only that girl from the Lin family is barely a match for him. But the girl is proud and arrogant, and she doesn't think much of him. She says that your young master isn't even worthy of marrying into the family. Sigh, perhaps we should just leave it at that?"

Wang the matchmaker ruined the reputation of Yunhe Village with her words.

Lin Jinyue didn't care about her family's reputation.
