Chapter 8: Proposal (Page 1/2)

Zhou Guiyun was very happy and planned to go to Hanjiatun to visit her sister-in-law tomorrow.

But before she could find Jiang Xiaogu's house, matchmaker Zhang came to their door early the next morning!

Zhou Guiyun still had things to do today, and didn't want to listen to Zhang the matchmaker's nonsense, "Why did you come here so early in the morning? What's the matter?"

Time is precious, so Matchmaker Zhang didn't waste time. "After I left your house yesterday, I went back to find my son and asked him to send me to Hanjiatun to find the old Han family!"

Zhou Guiyun thought to himself, isn’t this just a pillow being delivered just because you feel sleepy?

"Please sit down." Zhou Guiyun invited Matchmaker Zhang to sit down, and then smiled and said to the eldest daughter-in-law beside her: "Make Matchmaker Zhang a cup of brown sugar water, add more sugar."

Zhao Aiying went to make a cup of brown sugar water and put a lot of brown sugar in it.

When Matchmaker Zhang saw Zhou Guiyun's attitude, she felt relieved!

But as she said before, time is precious. She didn't even have time to drink the brown sugar water before she told him what she had heard about yesterday: "Your second uncle and his wife went to the old Han family yesterday to cancel the engagement. They said Han Shiguo was too busy and they were worried that their daughter would be wronged in the future, so they wanted to cancel the engagement. The old Han family wanted to keep them, saying that Han Shiguo was coming back and they wanted to meet him first? But your second uncle's family was determined to cancel the engagement. Although the old Han family was reluctant to give up the engagement that had been discussed for three years, they also knew they were in the wrong and were not the kind of people who would make trouble. Seeing that your second uncle and his wife were so determined, they could only agree to cancel the engagement!"

These are the details of Uncle Jiang and his wife's break-off of engagement with the Han family.

But Zhou Guiyun was not interested in this. She just asked, "Han Shiguo is coming back?"

Speaking of this, matchmaker Zhang was even happier, and said with a smile: "He's back! Just as your brother-in-law and his family broke off the engagement, Han Shiguo, that young man, came back. You don't know, I went there yesterday and saw him. He was really amazing. I have been a matchmaker for so many years, and I have seen good ones, but this is the first time I have seen such a manly young man. His talent and appearance made all the ones I saw before look like scum. If I were thirty years younger, these girls wouldn't even get their turn, and I would just go for it myself!"

At the end, Matchmaker Zhang even made a joke.

Zhou Guiyun laughed and scolded, "That's only if they think highly of you!"

Zhao Aiying, Zhao Aifeng and Su Zhirou and their sisters-in-law were all at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

As for the brothers Jiang Shouhai, Jiang Shoutao and Jiang Shouhe, they had already taken dry food and went into the mountains to collect firewood early in the morning to save for the winter.

None of them are at home.

Seeing the atmosphere relaxed, Matchmaker Zhang took a sip of the sweet brown sugar water and said, "Really, I'm not kidding you. I'm not looking at him as a matchmaker, but as a mother-in-law. I guarantee that you will be satisfied with a man like Han Shiguo. If I have a daughter, I will let her marry him immediately. I don't need any betrothal gifts, and I can even pay for him!"

"You're exaggerating." Zhao Aifeng said with a smile.

"That's right, you're giving yourself away for free. I've never seen a mother like you. Are you trying to trick your daughter or are you trying to trick her?" Zhao Aiying also said.

Really, the bride price can be a token of appreciation, but this is just too much.

How shameful would it be for a girl to have to pay for marriage?

"No exaggeration!" Matchmaker Zhang said quickly: "Compared with Han Shiguo, the boy from Old Wang's family has nothing to show for himself. He is average in height and appearance. He is just an errand boy at work, not a high-ranking official!"
