Chapter 013: The people were rescued, but it was a pity
Xia didn't respond, her eyes fell on another place.
Following her sister-in-law's gaze, Shen Heng looked at the matchmaker she had seen in the Shen family. It seemed that everyone called her Gao Da Matchmaker. She looked like an ordinary woman.
"Min'er's father and I were introduced by Gao Damei. Half of the matchmakers in Nancheng are also hers. She used to treat me as kindly as a family member, but now..." Xia smiled bitterly.
Half of Nanyi City is a matchmaker? Shen Heng exclaimed: "Then she is making a lot of money?"
Xia: "..." The sadness was instantly diverted, and after thinking for a while, she said: "That should be the case. I heard that the minimum for a matchmaker is a few taels, and the maximum is dozens of taels."
Shen Heng looked at Gao Damei with envy.
At this time, Gao Da Matchmaker was only a few steps away from them, talking to someone beside him: "Mr. Lu, I have already chosen a good matchmaker. You just wait for the wedding candy."
"Whose daughter is she?" someone asked.
"There aren't many families in Nanqi County who can match Lord Lu's status."
"Not yet, so I can't tell you." Gao Damei covered his mouth with his hands and smiled, then walked away with his hips twisted.
When he walked past Chen Heng and Xia Shi, he seemed not to see them.
"Sister-in-law, she looks so glorious." Chen Heng wondered if she had the potential to be a matchmaker. For such an auspicious event, a simple tip from the rich would be a small income for the working people. Wow.
"That's right. She even brought several disciples with her." Xia said as she walked.
"Does it cost money to become my disciple?"
Xia laughed. "Of course she wants it. I heard it costs two taels a month. But she doesn't accept locals as apprentices. She's afraid that if she teaches an apprentice, the master will starve to death."
Two taels? Robbery? This matchmaker probably didn't want to accept a disciple, so she said such a high price. Shen Heng suddenly thought of something: "Sister-in-law, that Master Lu should be twenty-seven years old, right? Hasn't he married yet?"
"He was married, but his wife died three years ago. After he came to Nanshan to take office, several matchmakers wanted to find him a new wife. Everyone around him talked about it after dinner."
Chen Heng thought of the original owner's third sister, Chen Yan. It couldn't be such a coincidence. If Gao Damei let Chen Yan become the county magistrate's second wife, Chen Heng would definitely be overjoyed.
"It's Tutianqi." Xia saw someone selling dug Tutianqi nearby, so she went up to ask the price. It was quite cheap, so she bought some.
"Sister-in-law, why did you buy this?"
"The wound on Min'er's forehead will definitely leave a scar. This Tutian Qiqian scar is somewhat effective." Speaking of her son, Xia's face showed guilt. She couldn't afford better medicine, so she could only use the traditional method.
Chen Heng took it and smelled it, it smelled like plant matter.
Xia also bought some pork offal, such as pig intestines and pig lungs, saying that these are usually hard to buy.
Chen Heng's smile was somewhat forced. She could smell the odor from a distance. In her previous life, she would never eat these things. She had even eaten two bags of pickled vegetables in her life.
Just as the two of them walked into Beida Street where the Xie family members lived, chatting and laughing, everything changed. Everyone around them looked at them with contempt and disgust.
It's nothing if you're used to it. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the smile on Xia's face had disappeared. She lowered her head with a gloomy look. When Shen Heng was about to say something to cheer up her sister-in-law, she saw a group of people running towards somewhere in front of her.
"I heard a child fell into the water at Ping'an Pond."
"That pond is quite deep. We usually ask adults to be careful and not let children play there."
"Every hour someone falls into the water. Whose child is it?"
