After the two finished talking, Qian Dongjie took the tea and went back home. Li Mengyue prepared to go to the hill to see how the fruit trees were growing.
But before she could go out, someone knocked on her door again.
At this time, except for Li An and Li, the village head's wife and the women who worked had all gone home.
So when Li opened the door, she saw a fat woman standing outside. She was wearing a bright red dress embroidered with auspicious patterns, a peony-shaped headband on her head, gold earrings on her ears, and a happy face.
Seeing Li, he smiled so brightly that his eyebrows were not visible. He waved his handkerchief and said with a smile, "Madam Li, great joy, great joy!"
When Mrs. Li saw Zhang the matchmaker, she didn't know why she came to her house. Her eldest son was not at home, and her two younger sons were only six years old, not yet of marriageable age.
"Matchmaker Zhang, there's no happiness here. What do you mean?"
"Oh, Madam Li, let me tell you, a wonderful marriage is about to happen to your family."
Matchmaker Zhang was talking as she walked out into the yard. She saw Li Mengyue coming out of the house and exclaimed in delight, "Madam Li, this is your capable daughter, isn't it? Look at her, she's so beautiful, so radiant, so full of life, she looks like she's about to blossom. Just looking at her makes one happy."
"I'm not exaggerating, but there's no such a talented girl in our village."
After saying this, he made a clicking sound.
Hearing what Matchmaker Zhang said, Li knew exactly why Matchmaker Zhang came to her house.
But she couldn't be her daughter's mother-in-law. She already felt indebted to her daughter, and she wouldn't be casual about her daughter's marriage.
"Matchmaker Zhang, thank you for your trouble. My daughter's marriage is up to her."
Matchmaker Zhang, with a beaming smile on her face, turned to Li and said, "Madam Li, you don't know how well-off this man's family is. Not only is his father a scholar, but his family also runs a private school. He himself is also studying at Chongwen Academy in town, and he can take the exam to become a scholar soon.
"This way, if your daughter marries me, she will become the wife of a scholar. How about that? You won't be able to find such a marriage even if you search with a lantern!"
"Matchmaker Zhang, please propose this good marriage to another girl. There's no rush for my daughter's marriage."
"Hey, Madam Li, given your daughter's situation, if she doesn't seize the opportunity, how can she find such a good husband in two months? You will regret it later."
As Li listened, she felt something was wrong. What did "given your daughter's situation" mean?
"What happened to my daughter? She's fine."
Matchmaker Zhang saw that Li's face was not in good spirits, and thinking that she could get 15 taels of matchmaker's fee by arranging this marriage, she began to praise Li Mengyue again.
Li Mengyue still had things to do and didn't have time to waste with Zhang the matchmaker.
So she didn't say anything, and directly pulled Zhang the matchmaker and pushed her out the door.
Before Matchmaker Zhang could react, she was outside the door and started knocking on the Li family's door again.
After filming for a while, no one opened the door. Seeing that she couldn't talk anymore, she flicked her handkerchief, rolled her eyes, and said disdainfully, "Everyone in the surrounding villages knows that the daughter of the Li family has been with a beggar and has lost her innocence. Why is she pretending to be a Huang Yi girl here? Pah."
Afterwards, Matchmaker Zhang twisted her waist and ran away, but she didn't run far before she fell to the ground with a thud.
Because she threw the tooth too hard, Matchmaker Zhang lost one of her teeth and spat out a mouthful of blood. When she saw the tooth on the ground, her face turned pale.
At this time, she knew very well that she had offended someone she shouldn't have offended. Although she had been a matchmaker for many years, she had also arranged many unsuitable matches for money, making the women's lives miserable.
Although money is important, life is also important.
Without caring about anything else, he got up and ran, thinking that no matter how much money he was given, he would not come back.
