Chapter 65: Saying Bad Things to Your Face
Matchmaker Qian was sincere.
Zhang Jinlan also calmed down.
Even if Qian the matchmaker knows how to inquire, she can't stand the fact that others are good at pretending. They look serious on the surface, but who knows what they are like inside.
Besides, Qian Zhao was indeed a good person, but he did not teach his granddaughter well and spoiled her too much, which led to a fundamental breakdown.
Besides, she was also bewitched by this girl just now.
I thought they were some kind people.
Thinking of this, Zhang Jinlan sat back in her chair.
Give face to Qian the matchmaker.
"Well, tell me. It's not your fault. I know you've looked it over carefully. It's really good for the Qian family to abandon this girl. You put a lot of thought into it."
Seeing that she had said that, Matchmaker Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Continue speaking.
"The girl who will come later, although her family conditions are poor, she is the best. Even I have to praise her. She is hardworking and good-natured. She can handle all the work in the fields and at home. She is a good worker and she is not ugly, just a little dark and short.
Her parents died early, and she has been living under her eldest brother. Unfortunately, she has a bad fate. Her eldest sister-in-law is a troublemaker. This girl is tired like an old cow all day long. When she heard that I was looking for a girl for your family, she found me and wanted to meet me. You decide. If you want to meet her, wait for a while. If not, go back first and I will find you a better one. "
Originally, Zhang Jinlan was ready to leave after hearing that both her parents had passed away and her sister-in-law was not an easy person to get along with.
But after thinking about it, I felt that this girl was independent-minded, could interfere in my marriage, and was hardworking. This kind of person could make her live a good life no matter how bad her life was.
Anyway, it's better than the one who just forced people to separate.
There is a contrast.
Zhang Jinlan immediately thought that this girl was not bad.
"Then wait a bit, the end is coming."
She picked up the water cup and wanted to drink some more water, but she had just talked with Qian Zhao for too long and the water in the cup was gone.
Matchmaker Qian was sharp-eyed and immediately winked at her daughter-in-law.
Bai brought a kettle and filled Zhang Jinlan's cup with water.
At this point, all the remaining anger in Zhang Jinlan's chest disappeared.
After waiting for less than two quarters of an hour, two people came into the yard.
Jiang Fubao raised his head and looked.
I saw that the girl walking in front looked a little older than my cousin, at least seventeen or eighteen years old.
She has a square face and is a bit short, probably because she didn't eat enough when she was growing up.
She has an honest appearance. To be honest, she is not as pretty as Zhou Yuanyuan, and even not as pretty as Qian Yuanlan.
But she had a good temperament. She walked in with big strides, her back straight.
Wheat skin color, rosy skin, and absolutely healthy body.
Following behind her was a man who looked 30% similar to her. He must be her brother.
"Auntie Qian, am I not late?"
The girl asked as soon as she entered the main room.
The voice is hearty.
No affectation.
"No, no, come and sit down. This is Zhang from Jiangjia Village, the family you want to see..."
Matchmaker Qian began to introduce the two parties.
Without waiting for Zhang Jinlan to speak.
The girl was the first to say hello.
"I heard Aunt Qian introduce you to me the other day. I've heard a lot about you. I'm Qian Xile, I'm fifteen this year. There's something special going on in my family. This is my eldest brother. Although my eldest sister-in-law is in charge of all matters at home, she can't interfere with my marriage, so I decided to let Aunt Qian help me make the arrangements.
I heard that your family doesn’t favor boys over girls, so I came to see you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I promise I’ll tell you everything I know.”
Qian Xile has a cheerful and generous personality.
The conversation was over.
The Jiang family's favorable impression of her increased instantly.
"Can you really decide your own marriage?"
Zhang Jinlan was a little unconvinced.
"You're amazing! Originally, my eldest sister-in-law wanted to marry me to a widower in Zhujia Village, but after I made a scene, she didn't dare to do anything anymore. My eldest sister-in-law is from Zhujia Village. I just heard that your last name is Zhu, so I guess you are also from Zhujia Village. Then you probably know my eldest sister-in-law. Her name is Zhu Pan'er."
Qian Xile said to Zhu Yingqiu.
"Zhu Pan'er? She? Oh, I really know her. When I married to Jiangjia Village, she seemed to be only ten years old. So many years have passed, and it seems that her temper has not changed. It must be difficult for you to make a living under her."
Zhu Yingqiu originally had no idea about Qian Xile.
I heard that her sister-in-law is Zhu Paner.
He immediately looked at her with sympathetic eyes.
"Aunt, who is Zhu Pan'er?"
Jiang Fubao became curious.
Asked.
It just so happens that other people also want to know.
So no one paid attention to why a three-year-old girl like her was so gossipy.
Everyone is waiting for Zhu Yingqiu's answer.
"She, tsk tsk, has done a lot of bad things. In the early years, when she was only seven or eight years old, just beginning to understand things, everyone was busy doing work for their own families, but she secretly sold her brother to a peddler walking around the streets just for a few pieces of candy. Everyone in her family is innocent and never argues with anyone. I don't know how she gave birth to such a character.
When her grandmother learned that her grandson had been sold, she died in a rage. Her grandfather fell down a slope and died in a ditch while trying to find his grandson. Her mother went insane after losing her son, and her father was killed by bandits while searching for his son. Her family was so pitiful that they were destroyed and she was left alone with her insane mother.
Zhu Yingqiu shook his head and sighed.
"The village chief wanted to drive her away, but he felt that her mother was too pitiful, so he let her and her daughter live in the house. Oh, I've said too much. I need to drink some water."
Halfway through his speech, Zhu Yingqiu suddenly remembered that the girl's elder brother was still sitting in the main room.
Tell someone's wife to her face that she is a bad person.
It seems a bit too much.
Zhu Yingqiu quickly picked up the teacup.
He drank the water awkwardly.
I didn't even dare to raise my head.
"It's okay. I know my wife's character, but she gave birth to three sons for me, and I can't do anything about her. My family was poor, my parents died early, and no one was willing to marry me. She was the only one who didn't want a dowry. My sister has suffered too much over the years, and I'm sorry for her. You don't have to care about what I think."
Qian Ping'an smiled self-deprecatingly.
He is a piece of shit.
I can't even protect my sister.
He is even more afraid of his wife.
It can't be changed, he just hopes that his sister can marry into a good family and live happily in her husband's home.
"Grandma Zhang, aunt, don't worry. If I get married, I will never go back to my parents' home. So don't worry about my sister-in-law causing trouble. I have made it clear to my eldest brother that he owes me. Over the years, I have done a lot of work for the family. It's time for me to plan for myself."
She was afraid that the Jiang family would dislike her family.
Qian Xile hurried to explain.
"You are too honest, kid. Why do you say anything? Go, go, go to the yard. Tongjin, you come with us. Let's talk about something. There are some things you can't listen to."
Qian the matchmaker was afraid that Qian Xile would say something shocking, so she quickly drove her out of the room.
