"Mom, look what that is! Could it be some kind of demon that's escaped from somewhere?" Wang Baoshan was startled and quickly hid behind Tao Ying.
"Whose fairy is so ugly?" Tao Ying was speechless.
Whose seventeen or eighteen-year-old lad is like this?
If this happened in my time, he'd be a total fussy, stingy guy, the worst kind of man, and deserve to be single forever.
"Mom, look at her pale face and tense expression..." Wang Baoshan glanced at her again and shuddered in fright.
"Oh my, Sister Tao, you're finally back! I've been waiting for you for almost an hour." The old lady at the door caught sight of the family returning and immediately came over, swaying as she walked.
I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when I smelled the stench of meat on me as soon as I got close.
I originally came right at mealtime, hoping to get a free meal.
Who would have thought that after being turned away, the mother and her children had obviously gone to eat meat. If only they had come a little earlier, they might have been able to get some meat.
"Who are you?" Tao Ying tried hard to make out who it was, but she really couldn't make out a person's appearance from that face that looked like it was covered in putty.
Her face was covered in cheap powder, like layers of putty, and her eyebrows were drawn like Shin-chan's eyebrows, even split. Her eyeshadow was bright red and purple.
Her lips were painted like she'd eaten a dead child and hadn't wiped her mouth, and the worst part was those two blobs of blush, like she was in a funeral.
She was wearing a dress that resembled a cheongsam, her hair was neatly styled, and she had a wooden hairpin decorated with plastic flowers inserted in it.
In addition, the weather is a bit hot now, so I'm probably sweating a bit, and lines have appeared on my face, with some places even oozing colored liquid.
With the sky starting to darken, it really does look like a vengeful ghost.
This is clearly a matchmaker's outfit, but I don't know who she's here to be a matchmaker for.
Baoshan is still in school, and Baomin and Li Caixia haven't completely broken up yet. He's probably here to introduce her to Chunni.
I don't know if Li Aijun has eaten peanuts yet, and Chunni hasn't completely gotten over it either. In this situation, it's really not suitable to find a partner right away.
Most importantly, Chunni is also pregnant and injured. She won't be able to have children again if she doesn't take good care of herself.
In this day and age, being unable to have children is a big deal, and the men being introduced to Chunni so far are not those with very good conditions.
"You have such a bad memory. I'm from the next street, the niece of your uncle's wife's third aunt's sister-in-law. My surname is Zhang, you can just call me Sister Zhang." Matchmaker Zhang is quite a celebrity in these streets.
I really didn't expect there would be people who didn't recognize me, so I immediately started introducing myself.
Tao Ying, “…” How is this relationship defined?
"Young lady, why don't you invite me in for a while? I haven't eaten yet," Zhang the matchmaker said somewhat reluctantly when she saw the whole family standing there dumbfounded.
"Hey, Sister Zhang, please come in. Is there anything I can help you with?" Tao Ying smiled and invited her in, but instead of letting her into the house, she sat down on a stool outside.
Wang Chuntao quietly carried the lunchbox into the kitchen, and also took Tao Chenyang with her.
Wang Chunni went in, poured two teacups of water, placed them on the table for the two of them, and then went inside.
Wang Baomin then fetched water to wash his clothes.
Wang Baoshan wanted to hear it, but Tao Ying glared at him, so he obediently went back to his room to sleep.
"Sister Tao, I've come today to tell you some really great news." Matchmaker Zhang was a little unhappy that Tao Ying hadn't invited her to dinner.
But I still haven't forgotten why I came here.
"What a wonderful thing! Did you find money and want to share half with me? Sister, then you're my half-sister!" Tao Ying quickly chimed in.
Tao Ying had absolutely no liking for Zhang the matchmaker; with such behavior, it was impossible for her to have any good character.
The people introduced like this are probably not good people at all.
"I'm not that lucky. Someone asked me to be their matchmaker. The other party's conditions are so good. I couldn't help but think of you, my dear sister, since I wanted to keep the good stuff in the family." Zhang the matchmaker covered her mouth and whispered to Tao Ying.
"Look at what you're saying, if you have such good conditions, why don't you keep them for yourself?" Tao Ying said happily.
"Look at your mouth," Zhang the matchmaker said, a little displeased.
"He's single, unmarried, and childless. Plus, he's all alone, with no family troubles. He's incredibly loyal, speaks with a real manly air, and isn't fussy or extravagant with money." Matchmaker Zhang praised him as she spoke, her face beaming with pride, the face powder practically falling off her skin.
Tao Ying was so disgusted that she almost threw up her big meatball.
And why does this sound so exaggerated?
It sounds like he's an orphan, too poor to get married, and "very loyal and manly." Could he be a petty thug who likes to show off, swears constantly, and is easily angered?
'Not particular about details, spending money lavishly?' Could it be that you're so poor that you have no money to spend and just make do with whatever you have?
"Besides, he has a reassuring appearance and is quite sturdy," Zhang the matchmaker continued.
'Ugly, short, and fat.' Tao Ying continued to translate in her mind.
"Where do you work? How old are you?" Tao Ying asked casually.
“I don’t like the constraints of work, so I’m only a year older than you,” Zhang the matchmaker continued.
"Introduce me?" Tao Ying suddenly stood up and looked at Zhang the matchmaker in disbelief.
"Of course! This is his first marriage, he definitely won't look down on you. Besides, he said he can even move in and help you take care of the house. Although we follow the one-child policy, the man doesn't have any children yet. Once you two get married, you'll have a big, healthy baby boy next year, and the two of you won't be apart." Matchmaker Zhang became more and more excited as she spoke.
"Sister Zhang, you should keep such a good prospect. My Dazhu just got married." Tao Ying said, suppressing her anger as she looked at Zhang the matchmaker.
"They said they wouldn't mind that you're in mourning, but I'm just not as lucky as you. My husband does nothing all day but eat," Zhang the matchmaker sighed.
"Then you can suffocate your husband tonight, and he can get married the next day. He can hold a big, healthy son in the new year, how enviable!" Tao Ying clenched her fists tightly, looking at Zhang the matchmaker.
"Tao Ying, how can you be so ungrateful? I'm trying to help you find a partner, how can you be so sarcastic?" Matchmaker Zhang could tell that Tao Ying was unhappy, and she immediately became unhappy as well.
"Well, thank you then. Thank you for thinking of me when it comes to all this ridiculous nonsense. Did I throw your child into a well or something? Why are you insulting me like this?" Tao Ying got angrier and angrier as she spoke, and picked up the teacup on the table and splashed it at him.
"Ah!! Tao Ying, are you crazy?!" Zhang the matchmaker screamed as she stood up.
"You heartless bastard! My husband is still seven days old, aren't you afraid he'll come looking for you?" Tao Ying said, picking up a broom and hitting Zhang the matchmaker.
