The next morning, Jiang Nuan took several daughters-in-law to Qian Shi's place.
Upon seeing the four people, Madam Qian's face flushed red. "Fifth Aunt, my three sisters-in-law, I'm sorry to have troubled you."
It's really not appropriate for her to come forward about this kind of thing herself.
"Sister-in-law, go inside and rest. The matchmaker should be here soon," Xie said with a smile. "Brother Lai is in such a hurry, he certainly won't keep you waiting too long."
"Second sister-in-law," Madam Qian said, her face flushed with embarrassment, "then I'll go in."
Not long after Qian went inside, the matchmaker arrived.
The matter had been agreed upon long ago, so the matchmaker didn't stay long before taking a reward of two hundred coins and leaving.
A marriage requires six rites: betrothal, asking the name, auspicious date selection, presenting betrothal gifts, setting the wedding date, and the wedding ceremony.
Because it was a second marriage, many procedures were simplified. After the matchmaker received the betrothal gifts, she immediately set the date for the betrothal: February 18th.
The matchmaker only stayed for a total of 15 minutes from the moment she entered until she left.
"So fast," Xie blinked in disbelief. "I didn't even have time to react before it was over."
The matchmaker kept talking, and the mother kept nodding.
“This is a second marriage,” Wang explained in a low voice. “The rules are different from those for a first marriage. In addition, my sister-in-law and Lai Zi are in love, so it should be quick.”
"You three, stay here and chat with your sister-in-law for a while. It's still early. I'm going to visit your grandparents."
I've been so busy these past few days that I haven't been able to visit my parents.
Especially Old Man Huang, who is so old but still helps out by picking people up and dropping them off, is truly admirable.
When Jiang Nuan arrived at Village Chief Huang's house and saw Liao Chunhua, she was completely devastated.
"Liao Chunhua, what are you doing here?"
This person seems to be everywhere, like a stubborn plaster that you can't shake off.
Sister-in-law Huang looked extremely embarrassed, and her eyes flashed with anger as she looked at Liao Chunhua. "I won't help you mediate this matter."
This woman is mentally ill.
She has a grudge against Lai Zi, yet she insists on having others mediate. Who owes her anything?
“It’s fine if you don’t want to help,” Liao said, glancing at Jiang Nuan. “It would be better if Jiang Nuan helped out.”
“I won’t help you,” Jiang Nuan’s lips twitched. “If you’re really sincere, you should talk to him properly. He won’t do anything to you.”
"It's easy for you to talk when you're not in the situation," Liao said with a look that said, "You don't understand, so don't make sarcastic remarks." "You've done him a favor, so of course he won't do anything to you."
Given the deep-seated hatred between them, how could they possibly live in peace?
"Whatever you want," Jiang Nuan didn't want to say more, "Do whatever you want."
"Sister Jiang, can't you help me out?"
She just couldn't understand why no one was willing to lend a hand when it was just a matter of a few words.
This is practically driving her to her death.
"Liao Chunhua, don't scare yourself," Jiang Nuan said, rubbing her forehead. "Lai Zi has been a constable for a long time. He used to let you run around freely, and he won't do anything to you in the future."
Can't this person use their brain?
“That’s because we haven’t found the opportunity,” Liao said, looking annoyed. “He’s a labor service supervisor now, and if he makes a move, I can’t handle it.”
Even when her son said that Lai Zi hadn't done anything to him, she didn't believe him.
Last night, she kept thinking about one question: what would she do if she were Lai Zi?
The answer is terrifying: those who commit such acts will have their families destroyed and lives ruined...
"Forget it," Liao said, growing increasingly agitated. "If you don't want to help, then forget it."
She knew that in crucial moments, she couldn't rely on anyone.
After saying that, he slammed the door shut and left, his face contorted with anger.
