Chapter 45 Linlang confronts the matchmaker



Wang Po's words stunned everyone in the Ye family.

Especially Ye Linlang, she was so confused that she couldn't be more confused.

Wait, what's going on?

It turns out that he is not proposing marriage to Ye Guojin, but to her?

She is still a child.

"Matchmaker Wang, what did you just say? Are you suggesting a marriage for me?" Ye Linlang couldn't help but ask.

Matchmaker Wang has been a matchmaker for many years. She is very eloquent and can even make a lazy person praise her beautifully.

Not to mention the distant past, even Yao Shufang and Liu Dazhu were introduced by Wang the matchmaker.

According to the customs of Jiameng Town, the matchmaker will receive benefits from the man's family from the moment she starts matchmaking.

After the man and the woman successfully get married, both parties have to thank the matchmaker.

For arranging a marriage, a matchmaker could earn around 100 yuan, but in later generations, this 100 yuan may be insignificant.

But according to the prices in the 1980s, a bag of salt cost one cent and two cents, pork was only twenty-five cents per pound, and the annual tuition was only one or two yuan.

Most families can earn less than 100 yuan in a year.

This shows how lucrative the matchmaking profession was at that time.

"Matchmaker Wang, marriage is free now. Parents can't arrange their children's marriages. Don't you know that?" Ye Yin was very angry and spoke in a very impolite tone. "Also, I don't care whose family you are proposing marriage for. I tell you clearly and plainly, it's impossible!"

Matchmaker Wang looked at Grandma Ye with sarcasm and ill intentions, "Aunt Ye, is your daughter-in-law now the head of your family?"

After many years of being a daughter-in-law, she finally becomes a mother-in-law.

Matchmaker Wang only became the head of the household after her mother-in-law died.

She just didn't believe that Ye Yin had the final say in the Ye family.

Matchmaker Wang was clearly trying to sow discord, and Grandma Ye understood why. She picked up a broom and hit Matchmaker Wang.

"Get out! Get out!"

Matchmaker Wang did not expect that the Ye family would have such an unreasonable and stubborn attitude towards the marriage proposal.

What's more, she didn't even tell us what the situation was like at the man's family?

Matchmaker Wang hid in the yard while shouting, "Captain Ye, Wang Xuan, the only son of Wang Jianzhong from Baibao Village, is a classmate of your daughter's. He asked me to arrange a marriage for her, so they must be attracted to each other..."

Ye Yun put down the bowl, strode up to Wang the Matchmaker, grabbed Wang the Matchmaker's arm, and threw her out of the Ye family's courtyard.

"Sister Ye, please think about this carefully. The Wang family is so well-off. You won't find another family as well-off as them in the entire Jiameng Town!"

Matchmaker Wang was shouting outside, and all the neighbors of the Ye family heard it. They all stood at the gates of their own yards and stared at Matchmaker Wang.

"Matchmaker Wang, are you looking for a marriage for Linlang?"

Matchmaker Wang's wrinkled face was filled with laughter, and she smiled so hard that her eyes and teeth were not visible. She said, "Isn't it true? A good girl is sought after by all families! The Ye family has a good family tradition, so of course the daughter they raised is..."

The gate of the Ye family courtyard opened, and Ye Linlang brought a basin of well water and poured it on Wang the matchmaker.

Matchmaker Wang was suddenly splashed in the face and shivered with cold.

Ye Linlang said with a half-smile, "Oh, I thought it was some mad dog barking at my door. Turns out it's you!"

The weather was already hot at this time of year, and Matchmaker Wang was wearing very little.

Ye Linlang poured a basin of water, and Wang the matchmaker's clothes were soaked.

"I say, little girl from the Ye family, Hu Zi has already said that you and him are childhood sweethearts, what about those two little kids who are inseparable..."
