"Let me think," Grandma Jiang said, rubbing her forehead. "The girl is indeed quite nice. Although the conditions are a bit harsh, it's not... Oh, right, is there another condition you haven't mentioned?"
“Indeed, we haven’t finished,” the matchmaker thought, on the verge of tears. What had she done to deserve this trouble? “It’s not just one, it’s two.”
"Tell me, and I'll listen."
Grandma Jiang still held onto a sliver of hope, fantasizing that her in-laws wouldn't go too far.
“Sister,” the matchmaker said with a worried look, “how about this, you pick a better one for us, and we’ll leave this one as is for now.”
She wouldn't want to ruin her reputation if she wasn't forced to.
The girl is indeed nice, but she has too many unpleasant things going on.
There were all sorts of unpleasant things before they even got married, and after they did, all sorts of troubles just wouldn't go away.
If it weren't for that jinx, she would have simply made the marriage proposal.
For now, let's forget about it.
It's not like a few hundred coins won't make a difference.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuan's lips twitched.
This matchmaker was so unconventional that she couldn't believe it; she actually took the initiative to break up someone else's marriage.
However, this also illustrates a problem: the two families are really not suitable for marriage.
"You should tell me first," Grandma Jiang said, her mood somewhat sour. "There's an old saying that even tigers don't eat their cubs. Even if it's a girl, she's still born of a father and mother. We can't just ignore her life or death."
“Well,” the matchmaker touched her nose, “maybe they are just more confident in their daughter.”
"Let's not talk about that now," Grandma Jiang waved her hand. "Tell me the other two conditions first."
“Then I’ll say it,” the matchmaker said cautiously, glancing at Old Lady Jiang before speaking. “The last two conditions are that the girl must return to her parents’ home every few days to help out, and she cannot have children for two years.”
"This is outrageous!" Aunt Jiang's eyes blazed with fury. "What do they take the Jiang family for? To interfere in everything, even how we give birth?"
The matchmaker was secretly suffering.
She knew she shouldn't have said that.
Originally, the man was interested in the woman, and even if the conditions were a bit harsh, he could have managed to win her over with his persistent pleading. But who knew he would encounter Lady Jiang.
With her last shred of hope gone, the matchmaker simply gave up and went all in.
“Well,” she forced a smile, “if it doesn’t work out, we can try another place. There are plenty of good girls out there, no need to stick with just one.”
It's a pity about the two hundred coins she gave as a thank you to the matchmaker.
“It’s really unnecessary,” Grandma Jiang said with some regret. “Marriage is meant to foster good relations between two families, not to create trouble for ourselves. Let’s put this aside for now and talk about it later. Thank you for troubling us this time, elder sister.”
"No trouble at all," the matchmaker said, waving her handkerchief. "You can call me anytime if you need anything. I won't keep you any longer."
After saying that, he ran out the door like a gust of wind, ignoring everyone's reaction.
"This matchmaker," Old Mrs. Jiang chuckled, "our family doesn't have anything that can eat people, why would she run so fast?"
Jiang Nuan guessed the reason, smiled and lowered her head, without explaining further.
"Finally gone," Aunt Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. "Our Jiang family is truly not fortunate enough to have a daughter-in-law like that."
"What a pity," Grandma Jiang said regretfully. "She was such a good girl, with a round and big bottom and a strong body. She was good at both working and giving birth."
Jiang Nuan, who was drinking water, spat it out when she heard her mother's words.
She now seriously doubts what kind of girl her mother described as beautiful and glamorous.
