"My dear, my dear. Do you know who I just met?" Yan Fugui closed the door and hurried back to the house, patted the third aunt and asked.
"Who is it? I'm almost asleep." The three aunts were barely able to open their eyes at this time, so they said nonchalantly.
"Xiao Lin is back." Yan Fugui said with a little surprise.
"Does he come back every day? What's new about that?" Auntie said while yawning.
"Oh, you don't know. He just came here with his mother. His mother said that he would stay for two days because Lin Tian got engaged these two days." Yan Fugui said.
After hearing this news, the third aunt was no longer sleepy and asked, "Lin Tian is not as old as us, right? I remember you mentioned this."
"That's right. He's younger than us. I don't remember the details. I talked about this with him at that time." Yan Fugui said with certainty, but he just didn't remember Lin Tian's birthday.
Sha Zhu was born in 1935. Yan Jiecheng is two or three years younger than Sha Zhu, and Lin Tian is about the same age.
"The problems that our family has solved have not yet been resolved." Aunt Three said suddenly.
"I've asked Jie Cheng twice, and Jie Cheng insisted to wait until he pays off the money he owes us." Yan Fugui pretended to be helpless. In fact, he hoped it would be this way. There would be more variables after getting married.
"That won't do. I'll talk to Jie Cheng about it tomorrow. By the time Lin Tian gets married, Jie Cheng and Sha Zhu will be the only two people left in the courtyard who are half-worthy. It will be hard to find another one by then. Do you think your son will be like Sha Zhu?" The third aunt said soberly.
"Who the hell is Sha Zhu! How can he compare with our Jie Cheng?" Yan Fugui said a little unhappy after hearing what the third aunt said.
Then he went to the next room and shouted, "Jiecheng, don't fall asleep yet. Come over and talk to me."
"Okay, I got it." Yan Jiecheng reluctantly got up and went to another room here.
"Jiecheng, let me ask you, when do you want to get married?" asked the third aunt.
"Mom, I've told my dad before that I'll consider getting married after I pay off my debts." Yan Jiecheng said unhappily. He had fallen asleep late at night, but he woke himself up just to ask this.
"Your dad just met Lin Tian and his mom coming over. Lin Tian got engaged recently and will probably get married after the New Year. By then, only you and Sha Zhu will be left in our courtyard. How can I not be anxious?" said the third aunt.
"So what? It's just me and Shazhu left, so it's just me and Shazhu." Yan Jiecheng said indifferently.
"Do you want to be single like Sha Zhu and then go and find a way to get others to help you? You can afford to lose face, but I can't. By the time, only you and Sha Zhu will be left in the courtyard, and outsiders may spread the news!" said the third aunt.
"Then what should we do?" Yan Jiecheng thought it made sense. He didn't want to end up like Sha Zhu.
"Let your mother find a matchmaker for you tomorrow and ask about this matter." Yan Fugui said.
"No, Dad, how much money will my family give for my wedding?" Yan Jiecheng asked the question that concerned him most.
"You're already earning your own salary, do you still need me to pay for you?" Yan Fugui said unhappily.
"Didn't I give you all the money I earned? I can't save a penny from what I have now. Besides, my family should also contribute something to my marriage, right?" Yan Jiecheng said.
The third aunt also felt that what her son said made sense, so she also looked at Yan Fugui.
"Then I'll postpone your repayment for two months, so that the money you save will be enough for you." Yan Fugui said reluctantly.
"What? Dad, this is too much. It seems like you won't pay a penny. No, at least waive two months' bill for me." Yan Jiecheng said very unhappily.
"What? That's too much. It doesn't cost that much money to marry a wife!" Yan Fugui felt that Yan Jiecheng was asking for too much.
But after thinking it over carefully, he said, "I'll exempt you from paying for one month at most. You don't have to pay for the next month, so I'll save it for you to marry a wife."
Yan Jiecheng thought about it for a long time and felt that it would not be easy to take advantage of his father, so he agreed to this idea and decided to take whatever he could get.
Then Yan Jiecheng said, "Okay, then go ask them tomorrow and find a better one."
Yan Jiecheng had seen that there were no bad young wives in the compound. It would be embarrassing enough if he married a bad one.
"Don't worry, just give me one dollar first." said the third aunt.
"What? What should I give you one dollar for?" Yan Jiecheng said a little confused.
"I'm busy running around, and I also have to find a matchmaker for you. Which one doesn't cost money?" The third aunt said very unhappily.
"Ah? I have to pay for this?" Yan Jiecheng was completely confused.
"Where will the money come from if you don't pay?" Auntie Three said as a matter of course.
In the eyes of the third aunt, caring about her son's marriage is one thing, but asking her son to pay for it is another. He should pay for finding a wife for him.
Finally, Yan Jiecheng had no choice but to give in and said, "Okay, I'll go back to sleep first and give you the money tomorrow morning."
"Go ahead." said the third aunt.
After Yan Jiecheng returned to the house, Yan Fugui seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "I seem to have heard that if you go to the street office to register now, you don't need to pay the matchmaker. The street office will help you."
"No, there are no good people in this street. I will introduce you to a good person when the time comes. What will you do?" The third aunt knows about this matter because she goes around gossiping about other people's daily lives.
"That won't do. The Yan family is a family of scholars. I can't afford to lose face if I find someone who has changed her ways." Yan Fugui was a little upset by what the third aunt said.
The third aunt rolled her eyes and thought to herself, what a bullshit scholarly family, even if others don’t know it, I know it too.
Yan Fugui then asked: "How did you know?"
"The Zhang family in the back street has a child who is almost 30 years old and still has no wife, so the street office arranged one for him, saying it was a young widow. But later, I don't know how, someone recognized her, and the Zhang family has been fighting every day recently." said the third aunt.
"So what you're saying is that the people arranged by the street now are all those who have turned over a new leaf?" Yan Fugui asked.
"Who knows? I guess it's inevitable. You also know that those people are a mess. There is no wall that is completely airtight in the world." said the third aunt.
"Hmm...this matter." Yan Fugui touched his face and thought deeply, no one knew what he was thinking about.
"Okay, stop thinking too much. Let's go to bed." The third aunt yawned and said. She would have fallen asleep if it weren't for talking about Yan Jiecheng's marriage.
Lin Tian didn't know that after he left, the Yan family began to anxiously arrange Yan Jiecheng's marriage. However, even if Lin Tian knew about it, he would only say: It's none of my business.
