Two matchmakers arrived in Changna Village in high spirits, ready to finalize the deal—no, to make the final push.

Yes! You read that right, they are two matchmakers!

At first, there was one matchmaker, but perhaps she wasn't familiar enough with the wild animals or wasn't very capable, so she just couldn't win over the villagers. Then a second matchmaker appeared!

The second matchmaker was incredibly eloquent; she could talk non-stop for a whole day without repeating herself!

With his silver tongue, he spun wildly and persuasively, finally convincing the villagers!

The two matchmakers arrived together, and no one noticed anything amiss. No, someone should have noticed, but their words were too powerful; they could manipulate everything, completely captivating everyone's attention! No one remembered anything strange; they had no spare brainpower to think about anything, they were all completely swayed by their words!

Yes, those two matchmakers are very well-connected. They always come happily and leave reluctantly!

This made the villagers lower their guard!

At this moment, the two matchmakers arrived at the village entrance, thinking that, as before, the villagers of Changna Village would run out to welcome them when they saw them. They immediately struck a pose and got into character!

The villagers did come, they came running, and they even had smiles on their faces, but something about them felt unreal. Those smiles looked a little creepy under the bright sun!

Are they seeing things?

It's understandable that their vision is blurry, after all, they are not young and have been in the sun for a long time, so it's very possible that their vision is blurry for a while!

But why do I feel a cold wind blowing under the bright sun?

My back feels a little cold!

They didn't check the almanac before going out today. Does that mean it's not a good day to travel far or meet people?

broken!

I should have checked the almanac first before coming out; now I don't know if I'll even make it in time!

These are the same people as before, but they also seem different. It's really weird!

Even if my eyes are blurry, my senses are definitely right!

They've been in this line of work for quite some time now, and they're incredibly skilled at reading people's expressions and using their intuition. Their ability to sense danger is top-notch!

Haha! Not every matchmaking attempt is successful. If you encounter some difficult families, things can escalate into physical fights at the slightest disagreement. Uh, some girls don't want to marry, and if the matchmaker insists on pushing them to marry, they might get what's coming to them—their clothes could be torn off! And that's the best-case scenario. Some families simply don't want to talk and just unleash their dogs—that's the most terrifying thing!

Sigh! Being a matchmaker isn't easy; it's a high-risk profession!

Marriage is usually arranged by parents and matchmakers, and the parties involved usually have no choice. Whom to marry is decided by the elders. Calling the matchmaker over is just a formality!

Well, those with strong personalities aren't so obedient and compliant; they'll resist no matter what. After all, marriage only happens once, and whether they're happy or not after trying is another matter! If they don't even try, they'll always feel resentful!

Since it's about trying to win someone over, it's obviously about disagreeing. If you disagree, you're bound to get scolded and beaten—well, that's how you treat the matchmaker!

Such things are rare, but that doesn't mean they don't happen. Just one time is enough to make things difficult!

So, matchmakers also need to have some survival skills. If they can't be matchmakers, saving their lives is the most important thing, just in case. There are all kinds of people in this world, so you can't be careless!

That's how matchmakers are made, so they were quick to notice something was amiss!

But I don't know why this happened. Everything was fine before I went back yesterday. How come the weather changed so much after just one night?

They thought they were about to succeed, so they assumed today would be easy. They hadn't prepared much, just needed to talk a bit more, no big deal, no need to prepare, they could just start working! But now, it seems that won't work!

An unexpected event has occurred; things may have changed!

This is a bit unexpected. We don't even know where the problem is, or which direction they should take to solve it!

The brighter these people smiled, the colder they felt down their backs, and they couldn't help but shiver!

Are they still dreaming and haven't woken up yet?

I pinched my thigh, and oh my god, it hurt so much! This isn't a dream, it's real!

The plump matchmaker cautiously inquired, "You've arrived quite early today. Were you waiting for us?"

One of the villagers replied, "Of course! We've been waiting for you here, so we had to be here early!"

The fat matchmaker smiled, but the smile seemed forced. She felt that the villager's words had a hidden meaning, and his tone didn't seem very friendly.

It sounds like they're just waiting here to teach them a lesson!

They exchanged a glance with the thin matchmaker, and both saw the same doubt in each other's eyes!

It seems there really is a problem!

Did these villagers find out the truth?

No way!

Even if I find out I'm not marrying a young man, marrying an older man is fine too. I'm marrying into the same family anyway, and I can enjoy a good life just the same. The difference isn't that big!

Most importantly, these wealthy families didn't look down on these peasants; they even gave such a high dowry, which is quite unique among farming families!

This kind of glory is something no one can ask for!

Look, we have everything, why worry about so much!

These peasants probably aren't smart enough to guess what they're up to. Maybe they're jealous of each other because they only want one person, which is why they're making those faces!

Yes, that should be it!

So many people are desperate to get in, but they can't even cross the threshold. Do they really think it's so easy to enter the gates of a wealthy family?

These villagers must have had some internal conflict; they all dislike each other!

The two matchmakers comforted and encouraged themselves.

"Has Chen Ahua arrived yet? Since everyone's here, let's chat here!" the fat matchmaker said to the villagers. She was just here to confirm, so it didn't matter where she was. She wasn't leaving; she was exhausted.

The villagers of Changna Village knew that Chen Ahua hadn't come, and it took them a while to tell the two matchmakers.

The two matchmakers were getting a little impatient. Why were they so unenthusiastic?

Also, they've been here for so long, and no one has invited them to sit down. They could have at least brought a stool, or even just invited them to sit on the stone bench under the tree!

I can't believe they're so tired!

It's so sunny and hot here, these villagers are really inconsiderate!

Some villagers said, "Chen Ahua doesn't want to get married anymore, what do you think we should do?"

The two matchmakers' faces immediately darkened. Hadn't they already agreed? They were only here today to confirm, and they had even prepared the betrothal gifts. Why were they going back on their word?

"If someone doesn't want to get married, they just don't have to! There's no reason why!"

"Yeah! Are you going to change players?"
