She rubbed her hands and said, "As for what the other people in the village say, there's no need to care. It's their fault that they have the right mouths."
Zhang Chunxue couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard this, and said half-jokingly, "Why, Sister Lifang wants to introduce me to someone?"
Yang Lifang winked at him and said, "I'm introducing you. Aren't you afraid that you won't find someone you like?"
"I want to tell you, if you really have someone you like, tell your sister-in-law and she will help you find a match!"
Zhang Chunxue had never expected this and was suddenly at a loss.
"This... cough! If there really is such an opportunity, it would be great if Sister Lifang would be willing to help!" She calmed herself down and continued with a smile, "If it really works out, I will definitely give Sister Lifang a big red envelope as a thank you for being the matchmaker."
When Yang Lifang heard this, she thought, this is a possibility!
She immediately winked and said, "It seems like you already have a choice in mind, Haruyuki! Why don't you tell me who it is?"
Without waiting for Zhang Chunxue to speak, she came closer and lowered her voice, "Is this Secretary Song?"
Zhang Chunxue was stunned for a moment before she coughed softly, "Sister-in-law Chunxue, why do you think so?"
Yang Lifang slapped her thigh and said, "This isn't a simple matter!"
She mumbled back what Zhong Aiguo had said last night, and finally spoke with a gossipy look on her face, "I'm just wondering, how come Secretary Song, who has been a dead tree for thousands of years, suddenly blossomed!"
"Haruyuki, you're the real deal!"
"Although you're in your forties now, Haruyuki, you've always been pretty! No one in our village your age can compare to you!"
She sighed again, "When you married into Zhongjia Village, you were so beautiful! Didn't you see how dazzled the young men in our village were?"
"At that time, everyone said that Guosheng was very lucky to marry a beautiful girl like you!"
"I even told them! Guosheng gave away all his belongings before marrying you!"
"Some people are very jealous and say you're just good-looking, but later on, who doesn't praise you for your ability?"
"After you and Guosheng were separated by Aunt Liu, you not only kept the household in order, but also did a lot of work in the fields..."
She raised her hand and patted Zhang Chunxue's hand: "So, if others say that you are not worthy of Secretary Song, I will be the first to disagree!"
Zhang Chunxue felt warm in her heart: "Well, thank you, Sister Lifang."
The two were chatting enthusiastically, but they didn't know that Yang Lijuan's second daughter-in-law was not very careful with her mouth. In just a short while, she had told the other young wives she was familiar with what her father-in-law said at the dinner table last night.
After hearing this, the young wives were also filled with disbelief.
"No way! Sister Chunxue is so old! How could Clerk Song be interested in her?"
"Then how do you explain why Clerk Song only sided with Aunt Chunxue when Aunt Chunxue and Aunt Jingui got into a fight yesterday?"
"But even someone like me, who's only been married here for less than two years, knows that Secretary Song has never even had a girlfriend before!"
Another girl who grew up in the village and is still unmarried, Zhong Hongxing, rubbed her chin and asked, "Could it be that because Sister Chunxue is married, Secretary Song has never had a partner?"
"What if Clerk Song has always liked Aunt Chunxue?"
When she said this, everyone looked at her strangely.
"You must be kidding! How is that possible?"
A young wife rolled her eyes. "I think Clerk Song chose to side with Aunt Chunxue yesterday purely because Zhong Jin... well, Aunt Jingui liked him, and he hated Aunt Jingui!"
The other person nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, yes! I think this is more reasonable!"
Yang Lifang's second daughter-in-law immediately stamped her feet in anger: "Anyway, I just think that Secretary Song must like Aunt Chunxue!"
She agreed with Zhong Aiguo's guess, so she presented the facts and evidence to a few good sisters.
She analyzed a lot of things and several young ladies were really convinced by her.
"But don't tell anyone else about this!" The second daughter-in-law lowered her voice, "My father-in-law specifically told us yesterday not to tell anyone else..."
"It's because you and I have a good relationship that I'm sharing this with you!"
Several people nodded repeatedly: "We will never say anything nonsense!"
One of them thought about it and couldn't help but say, "Didn't we hear that Secretary Song is about to be promoted to director? And we also heard that his family members are high-ranking officials in the capital!"
"If Aunt Chunxue really marries Clerk Song, she'll truly be transformed from a sparrow into a phoenix!"
"Her family also became prosperous!"
She lowered her voice even more: "Do any of you have a sister of marriageable age? Isn't Aunt Chunxue's third child, Zhong Chengyi, still unmarried?"
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up immediately.
"Oh! I have a cousin..."
"I have a younger sister! She's only seventeen, but she's almost there..."
Several people chattered, and then looked at Zhong Hongxing together.
"Hongxing! Zhong Chengyi is your cousin after all, how about you help to make some connections?"
"Yeah, yeah! Why don't you go ask Zhong Chengyi what kind of girl he likes?"
"If this works, I'll buy you the most fashionable hairpin in the county!"
"Yeah, yeah! Me too!"
The second daughter-in-law also gave her some advice: "If you feel it's difficult to talk to Zhong Chengyi, go find Zhong Xiaoxiao! You're not much older than her, and you used to play together!"
After all, his sister was going to be with Zhong Chengyi, and Zhang Chunxue was going to be with Song Xingzhi, so their family could be considered to be related to officials.
What if there is a chance to go to Beijing in the future?
Everyone's heart is filled with longing.
So after I got home at noon, I quietly told my family about this.
I had originally promised not to tell anyone about it, but in less than a day, half the village knew about it.
When Zhang Chunxue returned home in the afternoon, she saw many people looking at her strangely, and some people she didn't usually interact with came up to her enthusiastically to say hello, which made her even more confused.
And Zhong Xiaoxiao was equally confused.
She was holding Zhong Yuanyuan and playing with Zhong Hongqing in the yard when she saw Zhong Hongxing peeking outside their gate.
"Sister Hongxing?" Zhong Xiaoxiao was a little confused. "Is there something wrong?"
"It's okay, it's okay... cough! Actually, there is something wrong!" Zhong Hongxing walked in with a wry smile when he saw that Zhong Xiaoxiao had discovered him.
She looked around and started to make small talk: "Hey, Xiaoxiao, you're at home taking care of the kids every day now!"
