"Auntie, I have a younger brother who is twenty-five years old this year. He is honest and law-abiding." After saying a lot, the other party finally got to the point.
Wang Xiumei pretended not to know her intentions: "Why are you telling me this?"
“My younger brother is not married yet, and I was thinking that if my aunt’s family has a suitable girl, I would introduce him to her.”
The woman's face was full of smiles.
She thought about how outstanding Ran Jinnian was, and how wonderful it would be if she had a younger sister.
"No."
Wang Xiumei refused outright.
Even if she has a daughter, she will not marry into a family whose background she doesn't know.
She didn't know this person at all, didn't know anything about his family or background, but all she did was try to introduce him to girls.
She's not some sucker.
The woman persisted: "Does your aunt have any nieces or anything like that?"
Wang Xiumei glanced at her with a puzzled look and a hint of displeasure, but she suppressed her temper and said, "My niece and nephew are both married."
They said they were married even though they weren't.
"I see." The woman was very disappointed; she wanted to say something more.
Wang Xiumei flung her clothes away.
"ah."
The woman was splashed with a lot of water.
"I'm sorry, I didn't notice." Wang Xiumei said this, but she wasn't embarrassed at all.
"It's alright, it's alright."
The woman had no choice but to hurry home and change her clothes.
When Wang Xiumei was washing clothes, someone came over again: "Auntie, do you need any help?"
"No, no need."
Wang Xiumei waved her hand.
“Auntie, I have an older brother who is twenty-eight years old this year. He is the driver for the brigade…” the other person began.
Wang Xiumei was startled and quickly interrupted her: "I only have one daughter, Jin Nian. My nieces and maternal nieces are all married."
The other person also looked disappointed.
After washing the clothes, Wang Xiumei met another woman on her way home. The woman asked her to introduce the girl in her family after a few words.
Wang Xiumei?!
What's going on with the military wives in this family compound? Why are they all staring at her house?
"Auntie, what's wrong?"
Zhou Hongying muttered to herself when she saw Wang Xiumei.
As soon as Wang Xiumei met Zhou Hongying, she told her about the several people who had asked her to introduce them to potential partners.
"Auntie, Commander Lu has a bright future in the military region. With such great contributions to this disaster relief, he will definitely be promoted."
"Jin Nian is beautiful and outstanding; everyone wants to arrange a marriage between your family and yours."
After Zhou Hongying said that, Wang Xiumei understood.
She slapped her thigh: "These family members are all very shrewd."
"Auntie, have you agreed?" Zhou Hongying had lived in the family compound for a long time. The people there were usually quite ordinary, but they were all driven by self-interest.
"No."
Wang Xiumei came to visit relatives, not to act as a matchmaker.
She only cares about her own daughter.
The two chatted for a few more minutes before Wang Xiumei returned to the courtyard. Seeing her daughter resting, she didn't disturb her.
She hung the clothes out to dry in the yard, and then loosened the soil in the vegetable garden.
The four chicks have grown a bit and are pecking at the green vegetable leaves in the yard.
Wang Xiumei herded them into the fence and gave them some vegetable leaves to eat.
After she finished these tasks, she went to the kitchen to start making lunch.
Ran Jinnian woke up after a while and heard noises coming from the kitchen.
"Mom, what are you making?" Ran Jinnian walked into the kitchen.
