Chapter 226 Acting as a Matchmaker (1/2)

When Gou Dan delivered the message, Qiao Wanyue was instructing people on how to use the mold.

"Sister Wanyue, she might retaliate against you," Gou Dan said with some concern.

Qiao Wanyue pointed to the man's technique and said nonchalantly, "Let's pick manure for half a year first."

"Keep an eye on the pigsty, make sure she doesn't poison the pigs."

Dog Egg was clearly thinking about the Yang family's character. "I'll keep an eye on things over there."

"Don't let your grandparents do heavy work," Qiao Wanyue suggested.

Dog Egg's face has gained some flesh, and his skinny body has become much stronger.

Gou Dan said embarrassedly, "My grandparents can't stay idle. I've tried to persuade them several times, but they go to work in the fields whenever I'm out." Gou Dan was also worried about the elderly couple's health.

Two years ago, the family was in a bad situation. Zhong Qingqing exploited them, and the elderly couple's health deteriorated.

Now that things have improved at home, the elderly couple are used to being busy and can't stop working. Although they know their grandson is doing it for their own good, they are too old to do anything and are afraid of being a burden to their son.

"You've saved up some money recently. Find a matchmaker in the village to talk to them. Your grandparents can't stay idle until their big problem is solved," Qiao Wanyue reminded her at the right time.

Actually, it was Secretary Guo who told her that Gou Dan was focused on making money. He had been dragged down by Zhong Qingqing a few years ago, and he was already a few years behind the other young men in the village. If he didn't get married soon, his grandparents would be worried to death.

Qiao Wanyue then made a brief mention.

She felt that Secretary Guo now treated her like an omnipotent being, and wanted her to get involved in everything.

Gou Dan scratched his face sheepishly and said in a low voice, "Sister Wan Yue, I have someone I like, but I'm afraid that family won't approve of my family."

He is an orphan. His grandparents are old and there will be no one to take care of them when they have children. They might even look down on them as a burden. He will definitely take care of his grandparents until they are old.

Therefore, he never dared to mention it.

But now his sweetheart's family has started arranging marriages for her.

Qiao Wanyue: "Who is it?"

Dog Egg glanced at Aunt Ruan, who was making pastries.

Qiao Wanyue followed his gaze and saw Aunt Ruan, who was all smiles. Aunt Ruan was fifty years old this year and had two sons and two daughters. Both of her sons were married, and Aunt Ruan had separated from the family after her sons got married.

The eldest daughter is already married.

She and Grandpa Ruan live with their youngest daughter.

Her youngest daughter is twenty-three this year. Most girls in Xiahe Village get married at seventeen or eighteen, and very few stay until this age.

Aunt Ruan's youngest daughter had an accident when she was young, and her right leg was slightly disabled. Actually, it wasn't a big problem if you didn't look closely. However, when she reached marriageable age, the men didn't like her leg disability and introduced her to either divorced men or alcoholics.

Aunt Ruan was furious. She declared that her daughter would never marry a disreputable man.

Qiao Wanyue had never worked in the coal industry before, but Gou Dan brought it up, clearly hoping she could help mediate.

After thinking for a moment, she told Gou Dan to go back to work first.

Try to find some time to get some information out of Aunt Ruan.

Qiao Wanyue didn't find an opportunity all morning.

At lunchtime, Aunt Ruan was alone, so Qiao Wanyue sat down opposite her with her lunchbox.

"Auntie, is the food good?" Qiao Wanyue started the conversation.

Aunt Ruan looked up at her.

His eyes revealed speechlessness.

It seems they're annoyed by her procrastination.

"Did Dog Egg send you?"

Qiao Wanyue: ?

She hadn't even said anything yet, how did she get exposed?

How could Aunt Ruan not know that Gou Dan would come to her house three times a day? Did she really think she was blind? She would bring her daughter food and drinks from time to time, but the girl was timid and dared not let her find out, so she dared not accept them.
