Faced with Huang's mother's fierce gaze and low shout, Erhu not only did not leave, but took a few more steps forward, looking at Zhaodi with red eyes.
“Zhaodi, don’t marry someone else…”
Seeing Erhuzi's appearance, Zhaodi's eyes also reddened. Just as she was about to speak, Huang's mother pulled her aside roughly. Then, she picked up a bamboo stick from the ground and rushed towards Erhuzi, seemingly intending to knock him away.
This bamboo was originally used by Da Niu for weaving products, which made things convenient for Huang Mu.
Zhao Di was not frightened by her mother's fierce expression, and quickly stepped forward to pull her away.
"Mother, no..."
Meanwhile, Erhuzi, seeing Huang's mother rushing over with a bamboo stick, didn't even move, but instead spoke.
"Aunt Huang, please don't marry Zhao Di off to someone else. I will definitely treat her well in the future..."
Hearing Erhuzi's words, Huang's mother was not appeased, but instead became even angrier. What she wanted was not whether her daughter was well treated, but that the family Zhaodi married into could help her two younger brothers. So she continued to curse.
"Shut up, you old hag! Take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror. What kind of bastard are you? You actually want to marry my daughter..." she said, raising the bamboo stick in her hand, about to swing it at Erhuzi.
Just as the bamboo stick was about to hit Erhuzi, it was caught by a strong hand.
"I still have a use for this bamboo stick, so don't break it. Also, if you want to cause trouble, go outside, not in my house..."
The one holding the bamboo stick was Da Niu. He had stayed inside the house to avoid suspicion, but he came out when Huang's mother brought him the bamboo stick.
Da Niu is now fifteen years old and much taller than before. In the past six months, Aunt Zhang's family has been doing well, and he has gained weight and become fairer. In addition, he sells bamboo products and often interacts with people in town. As a result, he has shed some of his previous dullness and naivety and gained a touch of maturity and composure.
Da Niu took the bamboo stick from Huang's mother's hand, which he had already repaired and polished. Then he turned around and went back into the house, without glancing at Zhao Di at all. On the contrary, Zhao Di couldn't help but glance at him a few times.
Watching Da Niu turn and leave, and then looking at Er Hu Zi, who was stiff-necked and skinny, Huang's mother felt like her skull was about to explode with anger. Unable to hit Er Hu Zi, she turned around and pinched Zhao Di's arm hard.
Turning his head and seeing Aunt Zhang's unpleasant expression, he quickly spoke up.
“Um, mother-in-law, please don’t misunderstand, it’s…”
"No, Sister Huang, don't call me that. I'm already being very kind by calling you Sister Huang. I won't pursue the matter of your daughter's situation. Please leave my house now," she said, turning to the matchmaker who looked grim.
"If you introduce such slovenly people to us again next time, then you won't need to worry about the marriages of my children..."
"No, no, no, Sister Zhang, it's all my fault this time. I was bewitched. Don't worry, next time, next time, I'll definitely find you a really good girl..."
When the matchmaker heard Aunt Zhang say this, she hurriedly explained that Aunt Zhang's family had four children, and with her family's current wealth, her children were highly sought after in the surrounding villages.
Thinking of this, the matchmaker felt a pang of regret, thinking to herself that she really shouldn't have been greedy for that one tael of silver from Huang's mother. So she quickly stepped forward and pulled Huang's mother, who was still about to speak, away from the Zhang family.
Watching the group leave, Han Yi felt a little embarrassed. She hadn't been able to help at all, and had only watched a spectacle.
Turning around, he saw Aunt Zhang still looking angry and quickly tried to comfort her.
"Aunt Zhang, you don't need to be too anxious. Marriage is preordained by heaven. It won't be long before God sends your family a beautiful, virtuous and gentle daughter-in-law..."
Hearing Han Yiyi's words, Aunt Zhang couldn't help but chuckle, "You silly girl...", but the worry between her brows did not dissipate.
Having encountered someone like Qingyu last time had already dealt a heavy blow to Da Niu, so he had been unwilling to look at other potential wives. It was only after Aunt Zhang patiently persuaded him that he was the eldest son, and if he didn't get married, then Er Niu, the younger son, would naturally have no way to find a wife either. Only then did he reluctantly agree to let Aunt Zhang look at potential wives for him.
As it turns out, he encountered another unpleasant situation today, and it seems he will never want to mention getting married again.
Sure enough, while the two were still talking, he came out of the house and spoke to Aunt Zhang.
"Mother, you don't need to find me a match anymore. Let the matchmaker find one for Erniu..." After saying that, he turned around and went back into the house to continue weaving his bamboo.
Aunt Zhang watched Da Niu turn and go into the house, and sighed deeply. Her brows were so furrowed that they could trap a fly.
“Auntie, don’t be too anxious. Da Niu is only fifteen years old. It won’t matter if he waits another year or two. Besides, with Da Niu’s abilities, he can find any good girl he wants. But if a matchmaker comes to your door again, you should find out about the other family’s situation first…”
Hearing Han Yiyi's words, Aunt Zhang nodded hurriedly, thinking to herself that she had indeed been too impatient. She thought that if she could settle things as soon as possible, she would be relieved of a worry, but little did she know that things would go wrong.
At this time, Aunt Zhang was not the only one worried about her child's marriage. The village chief's wife was also at her wit's end looking at her daughter who had once again chased the matchmaker away.
She had lost count of how many times this had happened; whenever a matchmaker came to her door, she would kick them out without saying a word.
Oh! No, it wasn't without saying a word. It was that every time they started talking, things would go well, but then, I don't know what she heard that made her unhappy, so she just got up and kicked people out.
Lan Hua was the youngest in the family, and was pampered by the village chief, his wife, and her brother. As a result, she was not as gentle and demure as other girls, which made her seem somewhat domineering.
Seeing that fewer and fewer matchmakers were coming to the village these days, the village chief's wife was getting worried sick and couldn't help but ask.
“You silly girl, what exactly do you want? Wasn’t the man the matchmaker introduced today very good? He’s in the next village, not only close to us, but he can even read. I’ve secretly gone to see him too, and he’s handsome. So what do you think is wrong with him…”
"How energetic are you? Are you as energetic as my brother Jiang?..."
Hearing her mother's words, Lan Hua muttered to herself.
"Who, who are you talking about..."
The village chief's wife didn't hear what her daughter was muttering, so she asked.
