When everyone got home, they all knew their mother had bought a house in town. They were all amazed and couldn't believe it.
A few months ago, my family was still worried about what to eat, but now they have bought a yard. I am thinking of going to see their new home after the stall is closed tomorrow.
They didn't have long to be happy before guests came to their house.
Li Yu never thought that one day a matchmaker would come to her house.
This person was a famous matchmaker in the surrounding area. The original owner's accident was caused by this person introducing a girl to Lin Jiang. The original owner wanted to have a new piece of furniture for the storefront. She went up the mountain to cut wood and hit her head.
Li Yu hadn't seen the matchmaker or the family in such a long time, and thought the matchmaking was over. Unexpectedly, they showed up today.
"Matchmaker Liu, long time no see. Why are you here today..." Li Yu asked her.
Matchmaker Liu was obviously a little embarrassed. She said, "Ms. Lin, it's like this. Didn't we say last time that your second son and the daughter of the Shang family in the next village are a good match? We're planning to meet. What do you think, should we pick a date?"
?
"What do you want to see? It's been several months since I recovered from the accident and I haven't seen you. What do you mean by asking to see me now?" Li Yu asked.
Because this girl was from the village where Lin Ruo, the daughter of Uncle Lin San, was going to marry, Aunt Lin San gossiped with her a little.
The family had four daughters and one son. Their conditions were not much better than when the original owner was alive. The reason they had fallen for Lin Jiang was because he was honest.
Usually, the matchmaker comes after the two families have discussed it together, but this time it was not the case. The other party fell in love with Lin Jiang first and asked the matchmaker to come.
The original owner was very worried about his son's marriage because his family was poor. In ancient times, 18 years old was considered an old bachelor.
At this time, there was a girl who fell in love with her second son and was willing to marry him. The original owner was of course very happy, so she didn't even know about this family.
Li Yu felt that since you wanted to discuss the marriage, the original owner had gotten into trouble so that the two families could meet. Even if you didn't come to take a look, you could at least ask a few questions.
As a result, the original owner had an accident, and the family didn't even send him a letter, which is a bit disheartening.
I guess this family has recently seen their family doing business, so their minds have become active.
Seeing that Li Yu looked unhappy, the matchmaker said, "Sister, don't get me wrong. You've seen this girl before. She's really pretty and can handle housework well. But her family has one request. If you agree, you can get married right away."
Look, you are already 18, and you will be 19 next year. If you don’t get married soon, all the good girls will be picked up by others.”
?
? ?
Any other conditions?
"What are the conditions?" Li Yu asked.
"After the marriage, the family business must be divided immediately. Moreover, the eldest son owns your family business, and the second son must also get half." The matchmaker probably felt that this condition was a bit too much, and spoke hesitantly.
Li Yu was so angry that he laughed. Where did he get the nerve to do that?
She was not polite: "I'm sorry, my second son has no plans to marry for the time being. My family is short of money and can't afford the betrothal gifts. Let's forget about the two families. Sorry for bothering you to make this trip."
The matchmaker was a little anxious: "Sister, you really don't want to think about it. Why don't you let the two children meet first? Maybe it will work out."
Li Yu was also angry. She had said that she would not discuss the marriage, but he was still pestering her. She said bluntly: "Of course. If the marriage is successful, our family cannot afford the betrothal gift.
Can I marry into their family without a betrothal gift? And I won't split up the family. Go ask them and if they agree, then we can meet."
Seeing that Li Yu was so determined, the matchmaker had nothing to say and left in disappointment.
In the neighboring Taowan Village, the Shang family was sitting together and fantasizing about how Shang Daya would marry into the Lin family in the future and live a good life and help support their family.
Shang Daya's mother said, "Dad, you said this marriage is going to happen. How much should we ask for as a betrothal gift? I saw the Lin family's business is really booming the last time I went to town."
"At least 15 taels. Our daughter needs to be both pretty and capable, so she has to be taller.
Besides, once you get married, you have to split up. The Lin family has a sickly son and an unmarried girl. How much money can you save by staying in that house forever?" said Old Man Shang.
"You're right. If Daya is separated and does some business, she can help her brother. She only needs a brother like him." The old woman continued.
Shang Daya, who was hiding at the door and eavesdropping on her parents' conversation, blushed profusely. She had already imagined the good days when she would marry into the Lin family.
After they get married, they will separate and live a simple life as two people.
In fact, she was unwilling to do so a few months ago because the Lin family was so poor.
Unexpectedly, just a few months later, the Lin family started a business. My parents went to the town to see the business and came back to say that the business was very good.
This way, I will definitely be able to eat good food after I get married.
If Li Yu knew what this family was planning, he would probably just say: What nonsense! Stop dreaming! I won’t agree.
