Zhao Yuxiu's face looked a little embarrassed.
Of course, she wasn't angry, but she had come to her senses and the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
An Caiyun felt the care of her whole family, and her anxious heart about getting married finally settled down.
"Aunt, I know what you mean. You care about me too."
After hearing what she said, Li Xinfeng felt that what she said was not in vain and that the risk of offending others was not in vain.
An Xianghong was also worried that her daughter had chosen the wrong person. "Why don't you try asking around? It wouldn't matter if you could find a different matchmaker and pay a little more."
Seeing An Jingzhi nodded, Zhao Yuxiu said, "Okay, I'll ask around later."
In fact, she had already changed two matchmakers, and the information she got was good, so she felt that the other party was good.
The matter had originally been put on the agenda, but Zhao Yuxiu delayed it for several days using various excuses.
The two matchmakers she had hired before had said such bad things about the other family that it was beyond belief. This time, Zhao Yuxiu had her own plan. She changed the matchmaker to one from another village and asked her family members to secretly go to the Lin family and ask other villagers about the Lin family's situation.
After gathering all the information, Zhao Yuxiu almost died of anger.
Her sister-in-law said to her earnestly, "It's not that I can't bear to see you doing well, but you really can't go to the Lin family, or you'll definitely regret it later."
"It seems their family favors the youngest son, Lin Congwen, so the commune work will fall on him in the future. But his father is only in his fifties now. When will he retire?"
"And there's Lin Congwen. He's a lazy guy at home and I heard he has a bad temper. At first he didn't want to talk about it, but later I used a cloth coupon to get some information."
My sister-in-law whispered, "Lin Congwen is having affairs with both men and women. Almost everyone in the village knows about it, but they don't tell anyone for fear of ruining the village's reputation."
Zhao Yuxiu gave the cloth coupons given by her sister-in-law to the other party. Just as she was about to send him out, An Jingzhi saw her and stopped her, saying, "Take the can of fruit in my room and give it to my in-laws."
Zhao Yuxiu was a little embarrassed: "Dad, that's yours. No need. I have already given the cloth coupons to my sister-in-law from my mother's family."
An Jingzhi didn't listen to her and went to his room to take out the can of fruit.
"She's doing you a favor, and she's even willing to offer you cloth coupons to help you get the information. We have to accept this favor. Take it. It's nothing compared to Caiyun's future life."
Zhao Yuxiu took the can of fruit with emotion, said thank you and then turned around and went out to give the can of fruit to her sister-in-law.
Her sister-in-law was a little surprised when she heard Zhao Yuxiu say that this was the canned food given by her father-in-law.
After politely refusing several times, he finally happily accepted it.
Before Zhao Yuxiu got married, her relationship with her eldest sister-in-law was actually average, but she was closer to this eldest sister-in-law than the later sisters-in-law whom she had never met.
After this incident, she made up her mind to be closer to her elder sister-in-law in the future.
After sending the person away, she told An Jingzhi the information she had collected.
The information collected by his sister-in-law was more detailed than that collected by the matchmaker.
The Lin family deliberately bribed the matchmakers around them. Whenever someone asked about their family, the matchmakers would always say good things about them for free.
If the job is done, they will also receive another thank-you fee.
The matchmaker only found out that Lin Congwen was lazy and gluttonous, did not get along with his brother and sister-in-law, and was not a good man. It was only his eldest sister-in-law from his mother's family who found out that Lin Congwen had promiscuous relationships.
"It's so infuriating. Luckily, Dad, you reminded me, otherwise I would have pushed Caiyun into the fire pit." Zhao Yuxiu felt a little scared and still feels a lingering fear when he thinks about it now.
She said that the other party was so well-off, why was he constantly urging her to set a wedding date? It was as if he was afraid that his daughter-in-law would run away. At that time, she was very proud that her daughter was favored by someone, but she didn't expect there was such a reason.
…
During dinner, Zhao Yuxiu shared the news she had learned with the whole family.
Everyone was outraged after hearing this and wanted to cause trouble for the Lin family.
An Xiangjun rolled up his sleeves and said angrily, "No, we can't let this happen to us. How dare that bastard from his family get close to my niece?"
An Xianghong's eyes were bloodshot, and she wanted to walk out without saying a word.
"stop."
An Jingzhi said this lightly, and An Xianghong froze in place.
"You want to cause trouble for them? What evidence do you have? If they call the police and arrest you, what will happen to your family?"
An Xianghong was like an angry bull, with red eyes. He turned around and said, "What should we do? Is our family going to suffer this loss for no reason?" That was his own daughter!
An Shizheng and An Zhigang had just returned from school. No one at home had told them about this before, and they only found out about it today.
An Zhigang said angrily: "I'll take people to his house to throw feces!"
An Shizheng said, "Uncle, if we go to their house now, even if we are right, we will be wrong."
"What does Shizheng think?" An Jingzhi asked.
An Shizheng thought for a moment and said, "I don't know if it will work."
"Since what the Lin family did can be found out, then there must be many people in their village who know about it. If they did it, there will be traces left."
"We can find someone who dislikes his family to help keep an eye on them, and then we can bring people to catch them and send them to jail for reform."
"But we may have to give them a little benefit."
An Xiangjun clapped his hands violently and said with a happy face: "Not bad, not bad, this is a good idea! The people in their village must know the Lin family best, and the Lin family is so bad, there must be many people who can't stand them. At least those who suspect that they may be cuckolded will definitely be willing to help! Shizheng is so smart, he is worthy of being my son!" He raised his hand and touched An Shizheng's head.
Li Xinfeng muttered, "What does it have to do with you? It's because their parents gave birth to them well, but your child only knows how to throw away feces."
An Xiangjun said nonchalantly, "I don't care. Anyway, Shizheng is now registered in my household registration book, so he is my son."
An Xiangjun had never been so friendly with An Shizheng before. An Shizheng felt a sense of strangeness, but it was not a bad feeling. He smiled.
In the end, An Jingzhi made the final decision. He would pay for it, and it was not difficult to hire someone to help keep an eye on the Lin family for five dollars.
Zhao Yuxiu also found an opportunity to refuse the marriage proposal.
"Aren't they getting along just fine? The two young people even met once and both agreed. We just needed to set a date. Why are you saying you don't agree?"
The matchmaker on the other side said with a look of disapproval, "The Lin family's conditions are unmatched. If you miss this opportunity, you'll never find it again. Or are you dissatisfied with the betrothal gift? Feel free to share your thoughts."
If you miss this opportunity, you will miss this opportunity too? She would rather her daughter never get married than marry into such a den of wolves!
To avoid alerting the enemy, Zhao Yuxiu forced a smile and said, "My father-in-law said Caiyun is still young and wants to wait another two years. I can't disobey my elders."
"It's okay to wait two years, just hold an engagement party first." The matchmaker urged impatiently.
