Chapter 329: Not a Good Chance
Doctor Zhao sighed softly and took a puff of his water pipe:
"You should give up that thought. Xiaoyan is good, but she is too good. Our family is not worthy of her."
The doctor's wife nodded and said, "I heard that even the rich families couldn't get it done, so it's even more impossible for our family."
"How can you know if you haven't tried it?" Old Lady Ye looked at Zhao Fan, "I asked you because I saw that you have feelings for her. If you really like her, find a matchmaker to come and talk to her."
The doctor's wife sighed, "Even if I tell him, he won't agree. I'm afraid he will think we are toads wanting to eat swan meat."
Old Lady Ye's eyes widened: "If you don't agree, then don't agree. Will it cost you a piece of meat? Who said that kissing will definitely work out? If it doesn't work out, there's the next one. It's not a shameful thing."
The doctor’s wife thought about it and realized, indeed, who doesn’t propose marriage in this way?
Old Lady Ye looked at Zhao Fan again: "I came here to give you a heads up. If you really have someone in mind, then give it a try. If it doesn't work, then it doesn't work. At least you've tried it, and you won't have any regrets in this life."
A fire suddenly ignited in Zhao Fan's heart. Yes, what if she didn't agree! At least I tried.
At least he had to let her know that she was in his heart, and this could be considered an explanation and outcome for this relationship.
Zhao Fan mustered up his courage and said, "Mom and Dad, I, I want to propose to Xiaoyan. Find a matchmaker... and ask them if they are willing to meet me."
Doctor Zhao and his wife looked at each other and finally nodded.
Doctor Zhao said, "Then give it a try. If it doesn't work, you have to come back and show yourself to me."
Zhao Fan was about to cry: "It's really not going to work. It'll have to be at least until next year... You have to give me some time to heal."
Old Lady Ye laughed when she heard this: "Do you want me to be an ice man and go to Youliang's house to talk?"
The doctor's wife looked grateful, but said, "It's impossible to do this. I just want to fulfill his wish. I'm afraid they will misunderstand if you go and tell them. Let's find a matchmaker."
I was afraid that someone in the grain family would say that my sister-in-law actually found a poor boy for Xiaoyan, which would make Sister Youtian embarrassed.
Old Lady Ye nodded: "Okay then, that matchmaker Liu is pretty good, you can go find her. I'll go back first."
"Thank you for your help."
......
After lunch, the doctor's wife went to the town to find matchmaker Liu.
Liu Matchmaker’s family in town.
When Matchmaker Liu heard that they were talking about Xiaoyan again, she couldn't help but frowned: "You said that your family is from the same village as Ye Xiaoyan?
After Ye Hufen divorced, Xiaoyan changed her surname to Ye.
Matchmaker Liu sighed, "This... I'm afraid it's a little difficult. To be honest, I've already introduced several people to Miss Xiaoyan."
"From honest farmers to wealthy people in the village, they all have good looks and personalities, but she just looks down on all of them."
"Yesterday I found her a young master, but she refused to look at him."
"I think this girl is a little too ambitious. Your family... doesn't stand a good chance."
The doctor's wife's face changed slightly, but thinking of her son's worries, she said, "Please give it a try. No matter what, you must get her to give you a definite answer."
As he said this, he took out a hundred coins.
Usually a matchmaker would charge a hundred coins for introducing someone to a match. Of course, she doesn't pay a hundred coins for every person she sees, but only for every successful match.
If it works out, I'll give the matchmaker money as a thank you.
"Okay, I'll go and talk to her." Matchmaker Liu took the money with a smile. She knew she would do business when it was delivered to her doorstep. "But I've said before that this won't work out. Don't worry, even if Xiaoyan doesn't work out, there are other girls. I'll introduce a good one to your son when the time comes."
"Okay, okay, thank you."
Matchmaker Liu didn't delay either. It just so happened that I had nothing else to do in the afternoon, so I decided to go to Qinghe Village again.
Afternoon, at Aunt Ye’s house.
When Second Aunt Ye saw Matchmaker Liu coming to her house again, she looked a little embarrassed.
Second Aunt Ye brought the tea and said, "Well... I told you this morning that Xiaoyan is very busy in the shop and is too tired to leave. We won't see each other for the time being."
Matchmaker Liu also looked embarrassed: "This time I didn't find her, but she chose her. Ask her again! If she doesn't agree, I can give her a reply."
Second Aunt Ye thought that Matchmaker Liu was a rare person with a conscience in this area, and she didn't want to offend her:
"Let me ask her again."
"Okay, okay, if someone else takes a fancy to you, I won't look for you. If you tell me you want to see it someday, I'll look for you again."
"What's the reason for this?"
Matchmaker Liu said, "You are very familiar with this family. It is Zhao Fan from your village."
"Zhao Fan? Doctor Zhao's son?"
"right."
Aunt Ye nodded. Zhao Fan is a nice guy. He has received education and works as an accountant in a workshop. I have watched him grow up, so naturally his character is impeccable. Doctor Zhao and his wife are also down-to-earth people.
But compared with the guys that Liu the matchmaker introduced last time, Zhao Fan has no advantages.
Second Aunt Ye felt that Xiaoyan would not agree to meet him... Well, although it was called a meeting, in fact, the two of them had already had contact, so she would directly refuse!
Second Aunt Ye stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go ask right away. You sit here for a while."
After saying that, Aunt Ye went out.
Soon they arrived at Ye Caiping's house.
When I walked into Xiaoyan's room, I saw Xiaoyan still doing embroidery.
But if you look carefully, you will find that her ears are red and her hands are shaking.
Second Aunt Ye smiled and sat down beside her, a little embarrassed to speak: "Xiaoyan... Grandma promised not to tell you about her this morning?"
Xiaoyan's hands were shaking as she inserted the needle: "Hmm."
Second Aunt Ye sighed, "But... this matchmaker Liu just mentioned another one. I'm not forcing you to meet him or anything. He's from the same village. I'm just asking you a question. If you give me an attitude, I can then respond, right?"
Xiaoyan's face turned red, and the needle almost pricked her hand: "Hmm..."
Aunt Ye picked up a piece of dried apricot from the coffee table and started to eat it with a crunching sound.
Xiaoyan: “…”
Only after she had finished eating a piece of dried apricot did Second Aunt Ye say, "You are familiar with that man. He is Zhao Fan, the son of Doctor Zhao."
When Xiaoyan heard the name "Zhao Fan", her heart started beating fast.
But Second Aunt Ye kept talking: "I don't know how his family suddenly came up with this idea. They asked Liu the matchmaker to come to their house and said they wanted to meet you. But you two see each other every day, so there's no reason why you wouldn't like each other."
As he said this, he was about to get up and leave.
Xiaoyan was stunned when she saw it, and said anxiously: "I, I'll see you!"
Second Aunt Ye was also confused. After a long pause, she said, "What did you say? You want to meet him? What's so good about meeting him? Don't you see him every day? No... You mean, do you agree to his proposal?"
Xiaoyan's face was so red that blood seemed to be dripping out. She lowered her head and nodded gently.
Aunt Ye was shocked. When she looked at her granddaughter carefully, she found that she looked shy. Is this...something you've been eyeing for a long time?
No wonder he was unwilling to look at it, that's why!
Second Aunt Ye was both angry and amused: "Oh, you silly girl, why didn't you say so earlier!"
Xiaoyan groaned, feeling extremely embarrassed.
Second Aunt Ye did not embarrass her and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, okay, I won't embarrass you. I will reply to Matchmaker Liu right away. Wait, your mother's side of the matter..."
Xiaoyan said: "My mother...she always follows my advice..."
The reason why Xiaoyan's marriage has not been settled yet is mainly because Xiaoyan herself does not agree.
What Ye Hufen meant was that one only needs to consider a person’s character and appearance, as long as the person is not so poor that he or she has to eat coarse food.
Second Aunt Ye glared at her and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? This is a major event in life. You should explain it clearly to your mother and let her make the decision herself."
Ye Hufen is working in an embroidery shop now and will not be back until the evening.
