Matchmaker Li was happy to see Widow Wu get beaten, but she didn't want to be beaten!
At this moment, when Matchmaker Li looked at Zhong Wanwan, it was no different from looking at Zhong Kui (a mythical figure known for his monstrous appearance). She stammered:
"Master Zhong, listen to me, I didn't mean anything by it, I just think it's just so-so..."
Zhong Wanwan stared at her menacingly, her fists clenched tighter, and the matchmaker Li couldn't finish her sentence.
As she backed towards the door, she said:
"I'm leaving now. I didn't say anything just now. Uh, it was all a joke, just a joke. My grandson is probably looking for me. I have to go home."
After saying that, Matchmaker Li turned and ran away at lightning speed, as if she were being chased by wolves.
What's the five-yuan thank-you gift to the matchmaker, what's the point of laughing at Zhong Wanwan and Widow Wu? None of that matters as much as her and her family's lives.
She's not going to mess with Zhong Wanwan anymore. She's going home, and she's never going to play matchmaker for Zhong Wanwan again!
Matchmaker Li ran home as fast as she could and found Widow Wu waiting for her there.
Widow Wu was anxious about this matter, so naturally she didn't go home, but waited for her reply at Widow Wu's house.
Seeing that Matchmaker Li returned so quickly, Widow Wu thought it was a done deal and was overjoyed.
"Matchmaker Li, how did it go? Did Master Zhong agree right away? My son is so outstanding, she couldn't possibly refuse!"
Matchmaker Li was just being mocked and laughed at, so how could she possibly be in a good mood?
Widow Wu even asked her if it had worked out. She sweared, "It'll cost her my life!"
Matchmaker Li launched into a tirade:
"You old slut, you think your son's got a good life? Don't you have a mirror or any urine in your house?"
"Your family is so poor they're practically dirt on the ground. Even rats that come into your house leave with tears in their eyes. You're such a good-for-nothing!"
"You still have the nerve to ask me to introduce you to Master Zhong? Do you think everyone knows what you're thinking? You just want to get a wife for free because he's an educated youth from out of town, with a job and a skill. You want him to bring his skills and job with him."
"You're like a toad climbing a wall. You're ugly and play tricks, and you still want me to be cannon fodder to help you find a match? Let me tell you, don't even think about it."
Widow Wu was so angry she looked like a toad, her belly bulging as she howled:
"You're the old slut, your family is the poor one. Do you think I don't know why you went to be a matchmaker? Isn't it just to get more money as a thank-you gift so you can benefit from it later?"
"Look at Wang Erlaizi, he's green with envy for a temporary job. You want your son to follow Zhong Yazai's example? Do you think I don't know that?"
Matchmaker Li retorted:
"That's still better than you. I don't care how I didn't want to torment her, but you still have the idea of getting revenge for her insulting you, marrying her as a submissive wife, and setting rules for her!"
"When you asked me to introduce her, she was belittled and called worthless. Haha, if she's so bad, why would you want your son to marry her?"
Widow Wu jumped up and said:
“I’m willing to marry him, and I’m determined to marry him. Even without you, matchmaker Li, getting in my way, my son can still find a wife.”
After saying that, Widow Wu stormed off to Zhong Wanwan's house. She had said those words to spite Matchmaker Li, but they also reflected her true feelings.
Originally, she was already reluctant to spend 5 yuan as a thank-you gift to the matchmaker. If she hadn't argued with Zhong Yazai before, she would have gone by herself!
Since Matchmaker Li is unwilling, she's saved her money. With her son's qualifications, as long as she mentions it, that slut from the Zhong family will be eager to marry him!
Widow Wu wasn't just blindly confident in her son; she was simply what modern people would call a "charming man."
Let alone her son, she even had a dark thought about Wang Erlaizi's temporary job: Zhong Yazai must have taken a fancy to Wang Erlaizi.
That kid, always dressed so nicely, has such sharp eyes, he's probably eyeing a lot of farm boys!
Now she's given herself away. She's eyeing even someone like Wang Erlaizi, wishing she could take him home. She's so desperate!
Isn't her son much better than Wang Erlaizi? Wang Erlaizi earns a few work points, how much does her son earn? He's eighteen miles ahead of Wang Erlaizi.
You might be wrong, but this Zhong girl thinks her son is too good for her, so she's eyeing Wang Erlaizi, that lazy good-for-nothing.
She was completely clueless about this matter. Wang Erlaizi had a bad reputation in the surrounding villages, but everyone had their own judgment.
Wang Erlaizi is unreliable, but Wang Daniang and Wang Daye are reliable. They are both very capable people, and Wang Erlaizi is their only son.
Putting everything else aside, their house alone is one of the best semi-brick houses on the farm.
Besides, Wang Erlaizi's work ethic is so-so, but at the end of the year, the meat and fish he gets from the hunting team are quite substantial! Everyone knows he's living a good life!
The reason why Wang Erlaizi didn't get married was simply because Wang Da Niang had high standards, not because Wang Da Niang was picky.
Aunt Wang didn't want a high dowry; she was wholeheartedly devoted to helping her own family.
It's not that Aunt Wang is stingy. Although she's a feisty person on the farm, she's well-liked and a meticulous head of the household. Many men can't do things as quickly as Aunt Wang.
Wang Erlaizi already had a reputation for being lazy and maggot-infested. He was also a gossip and a chatterbox. He had no redeeming qualities and a lot of flaws.
What good girl would be willing to give him up? He's the kind of girl who's eyeing the Wang family's wealth, thinking that since the Wang family has few members, she'll come along and grovel for their lives.
And so, the two of them got together, which delayed Wang Erlaizi's marriage.
If a family has a daughter, they must choose one of the two families to marry their daughter to. Out of ten families, they will choose Wang Erlaizi's family!
Widow Wu went to Zhong Wanwan's house empty-handed, banging on the door and shouting:
"Master Zhong, Master Zhong, open the door quickly! I know you're home!"
"Master Zhong, Master Zhong, open the door quickly! I have good news to tell you!"
"Master Zhong, Master Zhong..."
Before she could even utter the third sentence, Zhong Wanwan opened the door with a dark expression.
Widow Wu was secretly pleased. Zhong Yazai was in such a hurry to open the door; she was clearly impatient. Who knows how anxious Zhong Yazai would be if she didn't come!
She was too impatient; why didn't she think of this? She should have given this brat a break!
Zhong Wanwan was thoroughly disgusted by her. If she weren't afraid of what she might say at the door, or what kind of lewd things she and Wu Dazhu might say, who would want to open the door for her!
Now we have no choice but to "invite" Widow Wu into the house to hear what kind of spiral fart she's going to unleash!
