Chapter 7 What's wrong with the country people?

Jiang Yu heard what Yao the matchmaker said and trotted over.

Yao the matchmaker said gently: "This is Wenxuan's mother, you can just call her Aunt Zhong."

"Aunt Zhong, I'm Jiang Yu."

Zhong Yanmei did not hide her scrutiny and was satisfied with Jiang Yu's appearance.

She was graceful and elegant, and she was not afraid.

"Where are you from? What do your parents do?"

Jiang Yu still answered generously: "I'm from Nanhe Village. My parents are both farmers in the countryside."

As soon as these words came out, Zhong Yanmei's face changed immediately. She couldn't hide her disgust and contempt for the country people.

"Auntie, why did you introduce a country girl to my son? Isn't this an insult to me? My Wenxuan is a school teacher. With his qualifications, there is no way he would end up marrying a country girl, right?"

She also complained to matchmaker Yao. Such blunt and rude words made matchmaker Yao's face change drastically.

"Yanmei, how can you talk like that? What's wrong with being a country girl? I've been a matchmaker for so many years, and I've seen people from the city marry people from the country, and people from the country marry people from the city, and I've never seen them live badly."

Zhong Yanmei snorted, "I'll tell you the truth, my Wenxuan already has a date, and she's the only daughter of the school principal! I originally thought that the person who asked you to come to introduce her must be good, but if I had known she was a country girl, I wouldn't have bothered to meet her."

The disgust on her face was almost written on her face.

Zhong Yanmei waved her hand, turned around and went into the house, and slammed the door shut.

Yao the matchmaker's face turned black, and she spat at the door.

"Uneducated thing!"

Jiang Yu was naturally upset and angry, but before coming, she was mentally prepared.

If marrying a city guy is so easy and everyone can do the same, who would still marry in the countryside?

"Grandma Yao, I'm so sorry, if it weren't for me..."

Yao Matchmaker sighed twice, "Oh, girl, this is just the beginning! I knew that Zhong Yanmei was a snob, but I didn't expect that she didn't even have basic manners. This time it's my fault." There are

many people who don't like blind dates, but it's rare to say such harsh words like Zhong Yanmei.

"How can the only daughter of the school principal like you, the son of a dung collector? I'm afraid you're being bribed."

She sneered, "Let's go!"

On the way back, Yao Matchmaker said that she would no longer pay attention to her and let her rest assured.

Jiang Yu smiled and thanked, "Grandma Yao, don't be in a hurry. I'll go see my aunt first."

"Okay, go ahead."

The two said goodbye at the intersection, and Jiang Yu turned around to go to the street office to find Yao Xiangling.

Knowing that Jiang Yu didn't make it, Yao Xiangling was naturally disappointed.

"Why don't you come to my house and live for a while, and then go back when you find the right person."

Jiang Yu thought it was a good idea, but didn't agree immediately.

"Aunt, wait until I get home and tell my mother."

"Okay, go back."

Jiang Yu waited for Jiang Ting at the agreed place, thinking that it had been so long, she should have finished.

Not long after waiting, he saw Jiang Ting's figure, and her face was full of joy, it seemed that there was good news.

"Did it succeed?"

Jiang Ting raised her chin, her face proud: "Of course it succeeded. Comrade Fu Xiangyang is very satisfied with me, you should give up. Xiangyang said that his family does not care about appearance when looking for a daughter-in-law, they just want to find someone who is diligent and capable. Even if I am not there, he will not look down on you."

Jiang Yu opened his mouth and stopped talking, not saying anything more.

Jiang Ting is just sick.

Jiang Ting hummed a little tune, feeling very happy.

"I didn't snatch your marriage, it's their family who took a fancy to me. I'm not saying anything to you, you should change your lazy nature, what's the use of being good-looking, go out for a blind date, everyone thinks you are lazy and greedy, and the matchmaker will have to go around you in the end."

She kept chattering, as if only in this way could she convince herself that she didn't snatch Jiang Yu's marriage.

Jiang Yonghua and Wang Meili were overjoyed after receiving the good news from Jiang Ting.

Wang Meili felt for the first time that Jiang Ting was such a useful lady. In the blink of an eye, she was going to be a city dweller.

"Did he say when he would come to propose marriage? What about the betrothal gift? Did he say the betrothal gift?"

Jiang Ting said proudly, "He said he would come to propose marriage in two days. The betrothal gift is fifty. The closer the wedding date, the better."

"What? Only fifty? That's too little!" Wang Meili started to be picky again.

It must be said that the city dwellers are not very generous.

Jiang Ting was unhappy: "Fifty is not too little. When my aunt's cousin got married, wasn't the betrothal gift only twenty?"

Wang Meili curled her lips, "Then your cousin didn't marry a city girl!"

Jiang Ting said coldly: "Then city people don't need betrothal gifts when they marry."

Wang Meili was about to hit her, "You haven't even married yet, and you're already turning your elbow outward!"

In the end, Jiang Yonghua stopped her, "Fifty is fifty, it's not a small amount! In our Nanhe Village, no one has given a higher betrothal gift than you!"

From now on, this girl is a city girl, so she has to be polite.

When he said this, Wang Meili was a little satisfied.

She happily flipped through the calendar, muttering, "Tomorrow is the fourth day of the first lunar month, and it's a good day for engagement. It's the right time to come and propose tomorrow. The fifth day is the hottest day of the year, so it's not a good day. Otherwise, we can have a party on the sixth day." The party on

the sixth day of the first lunar month she was talking about was in Nanhe Village.

As for the time of entering the house, it would be discussed separately.

Who knew that Jiang Ting was unwilling, and said, "We won't have a party in the village . Anyway, whether we drink or not, they have to pay for the gift money. On the

sixth day of the first lunar month, we will directly set up two tables in his courtyard and go through the motions." Wang Meili almost slapped her, "Even if you marry someone from the city, you won't be so eager! The party will be held in the village on the sixth day of the first lunar month. We will discuss when the Fu family will hold the party. It's settled!"

It was not easy to marry a girl to the city, so she naturally wanted to show off.

How could I miss such a rare opportunity?

Jiang Yu slipped out to talk to Wang Yunshan again.

"Did Jiang Ting's blind date work?"

"Yes."

Wang Yunshan sighed, "I didn't expect that among us, Jiang Ting would be the first to get married. What kind of man is that that makes her so impatient?"

Jiang Yu didn't care much: "Come over to propose tomorrow, and you'll see him then."

Wang Yunshan glanced at her, "What about you? Do your parents have plans for your marriage?"

Jiang Yu was lying on a pile of hay. It wasn't completely dark yet, and there was a faint red glow.

"I don't know, probably not. Jiang Ting just got married, and it doesn't make sense for her to marry two daughters in one year."

Wang Yunshan sneered coldly, "Why doesn't it make sense? My parents are looking for men for me."

She is not the eldest in the family. She has an older sister named Lai Di.

Wang Lai Di got married at the beginning of the year, and married a bachelor who was 20 years older than her.

The bachelor had only two faults besides his age. He was extremely short, less than 1.6 meters tall, and ugly.

How short and ugly was he? Wang Yunshan felt that he was ugly to the point that she would never forget him after just one look.

But her parents didn't care. After all, their daughter was destined to be cast aside. It didn't matter who she married. As long as there was a gift, it would be fine.

"Jiang Yu, I always wonder where our home is as women." Wang Yunshan looked confused.

Her parents' home is not her home, and her husband's home is not her home either.

Did she become a rootless duckweed

from birth? Wang Yunshan began to doubt from the moment she was born. From her name to her as a person, was there any meaning in her survival?

Jiang Yu didn't know the answer either.
