"Oh, my old sister, you're home? Perfect timing!" As soon as Liu the matchmaker saw Old Lady Qiao, her face was full of smiles, and her eyes glanced at Qiao Yunni, who was sewing clothes under the eaves.
After resting at her parents' home for a while, sheltered from the wind and sun, Qiao Yunni has become fairer, her face is fuller, and her hair looks shinier. She looks better overall than when she was at the Song family's house.
My legs and feet are almost healed.
"What is it?" Old Mrs. Qiao didn't like this matchmaker, Liu. She was only interested in profit and often took money from the man's family. With her silver tongue, she would get people to marry off their good daughters, who would then suffer greatly and never see the light of day again.
At that time, Qiao Yunni married into the Song family because of the matchmaker Liu's encouragement.
Thinking about the suffering her daughter has endured over the years, it was hard for Old Mrs. Qiao to have a kind expression.
"Old sister, don't look so down. I've brought you good news." As she spoke, Matchmaker Liu patted Old Lady Qiao's chest, looking like she was doing it for her own good.
"What good news? If you have something to say, say it. If not, I have to go now." Old Mrs. Qiao dodged away with disgust, almost kicking the matchmaker Liu out.
Matchmaker Liu didn't care at all. She was a matchmaker; what kind of attitude hadn't she seen?
He pulled over a stool and plopped down under the eaves.
Because of his large buttocks, two big lumps of flesh were squeezed out on both sides, causing the stool to creak and groan, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
“We’ve known each other for so many years, so I won’t beat around the bush. I’m here today for Yunni.”
Upon hearing that it was because of Qiao Yunni, Old Mrs. Qiao became very nervous, and her tone became even harsher.
"Old Liu, what evil intentions do you have now? Back then, you took one tael of silver from the Song family and spoke highly of the Song family and Song Laosan in front of me, which is why I agreed to let Yunni marry into that family. Who knew that family would eat people alive without spitting out the bones?"
"Yes, in the end, it was my husband and I who made the decision. It's mainly our fault for not choosing a good family. But you've been praising them so much, saying they're the best in the world. Don't you have any faults at all?"
Several families came to propose marriage, including Qin Bu's. The Song family had the best conditions, and Qin Bu was the most honest and good-looking, but his family was poor and he was an only child.
Grandma Qiao still preferred to consider Qin Bu, after all, she valued his character. So what if he didn't have any brothers to help him? Every member of the Qiao family was capable of fighting. Moreover, she noticed that Qiao Yunni looked at Qin Bu differently, and they had spoken about it a couple of times in private. She knew that her daughter also wanted to marry Qin Bu.
Granny Liu not only spoke highly of the Song family but also spoke ill of Qin Bu, claiming she had seen him secretly gambling in town. Old Mrs. Qiao didn't quite believe it, but marriage is not a game, and in the matter of her daughter's marriage, she could only accept the suspicion that he was guilty.
She underestimated Granny Liu's malice, thinking it unlikely she would make baseless accusations. Perhaps Qin Bu went to the gambling den to find someone, but in any case, such a place was off-limits; one should stay far away from it.
Finally, the Song family was chosen.
Over the years, Qin Bu's character has been proven, and the Song family has been shown to be heartless and treacherous.
Old Mrs. Qiao regretted it.
Seeing Granny Liu, I wanted to hit her with a broom.
Now that Granny Liu says she came for Qiao Yunni, there's no doubt it's about something else.
"Oh dear, my old sister, it's all in the past, why bring it up again? I didn't mean to harm Yunni. Back then, the Song family wasn't as crazy as they are now; they seemed to be well-behaved. That's why I praised them. As for what happened later, you can't judge a book by its cover, so I can't make that decision."
