Zhao Yuxiu quickly waved her hands and said apologetically, "No, no, didn't they say before that his family was anxious to get married? My son is getting older, and my daughter won't get married for at least three years. If we get engaged, what will happen if we delay her?"
If Zhao Yuxiu was unwilling to get engaged, the matchmaker would not get the extra money, so she kept persuading him without giving up.
At the end, he also tried to test whether Zhao Yuxiu knew about the Lin family, but Zhao Yuxiu's acting skills were very good and he didn't reveal any flaws at all.
Moreover, Zhao Yuxiu also moved the mountain of elders out, so the matchmaker could only leave in disappointment.
Before leaving, Zhao Yuxiu asked the matchmaker to take all the things sent by the Lin family back home. She didn't want to keep these dirty things at home.
When the Lin family heard that Zhao Yuxiu was unwilling to agree again, they just cursed them for being unlucky and didn't think much about anything else.
Then he asked the matchmaker to help him find other suitable candidates.
After what happened with the Lin family, Zhao Yuxiu no longer dared to find someone else to marry her daughter.
An Caiyun is now free. She stays busy at home and goes out to chat with the young ladies in the village. She lives a happy life.
In her previous life, if An Caiyun was willing to take the initiative to ask her family for help, the original owner, who was a person who cared about face, might have asked his grandson to help her. Even if he did not allow the two to divorce, it would make the Lin family more wary.
Ultimately, it was because An Caiyun was too weak, or perhaps she was a girl who had never seen the world and always thought things were hopeless, or perhaps she felt that her parents' home was not her last resort.
In order to correct An Caiyun's character, An Jingzhi asked An Zhigang and An Shizheng to spend more time with An Caiyun so that she could feel the care of her brothers.
After much deliberation, An Jingzhi decided to take An Caiyun out for more walks and see the world.
Even if I meet bad people like the Lin family again in the future, at least I will deal with them differently.
He would take An Caiyun to the county to find Old Man Liu while An Zhigang and the others went home to leave their bicycles there.
Old man Liu is also very idle. His two grandsons were sent to her parents' home by his daughter-in-law. Usually there is no one at home, so he can only wander around with his hands behind his back.
What he looked forward to most every week was when An Jingzhi came to see him.
Every time An Jingzhi came, he would politely take the two of them to have a meal at a state-owned restaurant.
Sometimes he treated everyone, sometimes An Jingzhi treated everyone.
An Caiyun was very nervous and timid at the beginning, but now she has gradually adapted to the new environment.
When she arrived in the county town and went out with Grandpa and Grandpa Liu to see the world, she realized that there was such a huge gap in the lives of girls in the world.
That was a life she had never imagined.
They had come to the county before to catch a spy, but they just bought some things in a hurry and took them back. This time, they deliberately let her come to see how other girls lived, so she had more time to observe others.
They came to see Old Man Liu in the morning. After they finished their meal, Old Man Liu took An Jingzhi and the other man to a hotel to look for someone.
"My old brother is on a business trip and is staying here for a day. It's a good opportunity for me to take you to meet him." When Old Man Liu talked about his old brother, his eyes were full of memories.
"After this separation, I don't know when we'll meet again." Maybe we'll meet in the underworld.
"Brother Liu is a hero, and you are also a veteran, right?" An Jingzhi said.
"Yes, this old fellow and I used to be in the same platoon. Later, he got lucky and made some meritorious service, so he climbed over my head. But I guess he hasn't retired yet."
At the entrance of the hotel, an old and bold voice rang out: "Old Liu, is this how you plot against people behind their backs?"
"What do you mean by good luck? I'm not as skilled as you, but you still refuse to admit that I'm a good shot?"
Old man Liu turned around and looked at the other person. He was an old man with a straight body and a burly figure. Behind him was another man with a straight body, like a javelin ready to be launched.
"Old Man Sun, I didn't expect you were still alive." Old Man Liu laughed out loud.
"You are alive and well. You haven't even closed your eyes yet. How can I kick my legs?" the other person said with a smile.
After exchanging pleasantries with Old Man Liu, he turned his attention to An Jingzhi and An Caiyun. An Caiyun was frightened by his gaze and hid behind An Jingzhi.
Old Man Liu quickly introduced: "This is my new friend, call him Lao An, and the one behind is Lao An's granddaughter."
"The little girl is not very courageous, don't scare her."
Old Man Sun apologized, "I'm sorry, little girl."
An Caiyun quickly stood up, shook her head and said, "It's okay." She called Grandpa Sun and then stood obediently beside An Jingzhi.
After An Jingzhi exchanged greetings with Old Man Sun, the four of them came to Old Man Sun’s room in the hotel.
After showing the work ID, the front desk clerk respectfully let the person in.
When the four of them went upstairs, An Jingzhi noticed An Caiyun's envious look.
Old man Sun, who had been paying attention to the two people, also saw them.
"Where does Caiyun work now?"
An Caiyun didn't expect that she would be mentioned suddenly. She had planned to be invisible after entering the room.
"In the countryside, jobs in the county are all assigned to specific people, so there's no way it would be my turn."
Old man Liu took the initiative to introduce An Jingzhi's situation.
Old Man Sun apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't ask clearly."
Although the girl was a little evasive towards him before, she didn't look petty, so he thought she worked in the county.
He was filled with murderous aura, and not to mention the little girl, even a young boy would have retreated if he stared at him like that, so no one thought much about it.
"Old Man Sun, that's all you mean. You've offended my granddaughter twice in one trip." Old Man Liu said with a smile.
An Jingzhi often brought An Caiyun here. In half a year, An Caiyun had become very popular with Old Man Liu, and he treated An Caiyun as his own granddaughter.
"No, you have to give a gift."
Old Man Sun was stunned for a moment, then he laughed out loud: "No problem, I'll make up for this meeting gift later."
It was not until Old Man Sun left that An Jingzhi found out what the gift was.
"Well, can I work here in the future?" An Caiyun asked excitedly.
"Old man Sun didn't even think of giving a good gift. How can he just give me cleaning?" Old man Liu was very dissatisfied with the gift.
He treated An Caiyun as his own granddaughter. Although this temporary job of cleaning in the hotel was considered a stable job, he felt that his granddaughter deserved better.
An Jingzhi didn't have any objections. He didn't expect such a pleasant surprise. What's the big deal about cleaning? There aren't many people in the hotel all year round anyway. Besides, since he knew Old Man Liu, how could An Caiyun possibly clean all the time?
"Old Sun is so polite to give such a valuable gift." An Jingzhi sighed.
"It's okay, just barely." Old man Liu said with a stern face.
When An Jingzhi brought An Caiyun to the county to see the world, Old Man Liu knew that An Caiyun had been engaged.
While he angrily cursed the Lin family for being inhuman, he also felt sorry for An Caiyun.
Although he is not very satisfied with his current job, at least An Caiyun can live in the county in the future.
After the contact that day, An Jingzhi probably guessed that Old Man Sun had a high status, but he didn't expect that he could actually find a temporary job for An Caiyun.
