Chapter 8: Proposal (Page 2/2)
"But Han Shiguo is already a battalion commander. His future is limitless!"
"I have a sister who lives in the county party committee compound in the city. Even if I retire in the future, I will definitely have to make arrangements for her!"
"But when I see him like that, I know he will be fine in the future!"
"If Qianqian marries him, she will live a life of luxury!"
"This time, you listen to me and arrange a meeting. Just one meeting. I'm betting on my reputation as a matchmaker for decades. If you are not satisfied with Han Shiguo, I will no longer be a matchmaker!"
“…”
When Zhou Guiyun heard that he was already the battalion commander, he felt more satisfied. But when matchmaker Zhang dared to make such a boast, he couldn't help but have some thoughts in his mind.
At the beginning, Aunt Jiang couldn't wait to go back to her parents' home to arrange a marriage for her niece, for fear that someone else would get there first!
But she didn't say anything. The eldest daughter-in-law, Zhao Aiying, spoke up. "You matchmakers are such liars. You said so much, but you didn't even know how old the man is. If he's too old, we won't accept him no matter how good he is."
"Not too old, only 26 years old this year." Matchmaker Zhang said repeatedly.
As the mother-in-law, Zhou Guiyun is of course a little picky at this time, because only those who complain about the goods are the buyers.
She said, "You're already 26? That's six years older than my Qianqian, the difference is quite big."
"Not much, not much, only six years old, that's not much at all. Besides, when a man is older, he will know how to love his wife, right?" Matchmaker Zhang said quickly, "Sister Guiyun, you really have to listen to me this time. I'm not exaggerating. There is no other young man as suitable for your Qianqian in the whole town. Only such an outstanding young man can match a beautiful girl like Qianqian! Really, when I saw him, I felt that he deserved to be your son-in-law!"
Otherwise, how could she be a matchmaker? Her eloquence in praising people is rare.
Zhou Guiyun couldn't help but be moved after hearing this. She was originally going to Hanjiatun to talk to her sister-in-law today.
But no matter what she thought in her heart, Zhou Guiyun didn't show it at all.
"My second uncle's family just broke off the engagement with the Han family yesterday." Zhao Aiying and Zhao Aifeng, both sisters-in-law, knew their mother-in-law well. Seeing that her mother-in-law didn't say anything, they immediately continued the conversation.
Matchmaker Zhang knew about the concerns of the Jiang family. As a matchmaker, how could she not allay their concerns by arranging a marriage?
She won't fight a battle she's not sure of winning!
He immediately said, "Don't worry about this matter. When I went to their house yesterday, the sister of the Han family treated me very warmly. She was also anxious to find a wife for her son. I heard from her that Han Shiguo had a ten-day holiday this time, so there was not much time to waste. But her son has high standards and doesn't look down on ordinary people. So, when she heard me mention your Qianqian, the sister of the Han family's eyes lit up, and she immediately grabbed my hand and asked me if I was the teacher Jiang from the Jiang family's eldest wife who teaches in the town primary school?"
"I was surprised when I heard that, and asked her, have you seen your Qianqian?"
"When the Han family girl heard that it was really your Qianqian, she was so happy. She said that she had seen Qianqian before. She came to visit relatives in the town during the slack season and twisted her ankle. No one paid attention to her at the time. Only Teacher Jiang from the town's primary school helped her!"
"There is such a thing?" Zhou Guiyun and her three sisters-in-law looked at Jiang Qian, who had just woken up and was about to brush his teeth and wash his face.
Jiang Qian, who had just come out, of course heard what they were talking about. She was stunned for a moment, and then she thought about it and it seemed that there was such a thing.
