At this moment, a somewhat plump woman on the other side also spoke up, "He looks alright. I like young and strong men who can give me a son to carry on the family line. But he has a criminal record. I hope he won't cheat on me."
Upon hearing this, Shi Fen immediately said, "Don't worry, big sister, no, he just went down the wrong path because the woman before him wouldn't have children for him."
The plump woman nodded in satisfaction, "That's good, you can have it. Come with me and I'll have your children."
He laughed as he spoke, his whole body trembling.
The conversation between the group made Huang Laosan tremble with anger. Ignoring his still-healing injuries, he struggled to sit up and yelled at the fat woman, "Who needs you to give birth to children? You should look at yourself in the mirror. Who would want you to have children!"
These words infuriated the plump woman, causing her flesh to tremble even more. She stomped her foot so hard that the ground seemed to shake.
Then he glared at Shi Fen beside him, making Shi Fen shudder. Just as he was about to explain, he saw that Shi Fen was not listening at all and said directly to the matchmaker, "Didn't you say he was the most obedient? He's already yelling at me before he's even entered my house. With this kind of temper, he still wants so much dowry. I won't do it!"
After saying that, he stomped his foot and left without being stopped by Shi Fen.
The matchmaker's face darkened upon seeing this, and she hurriedly chased after her.
The other two who hesitated, after considering it for a moment, also refused.
"No, she has too much of a temper. If she comes to my house, she'll bully my child. I can't accept that."
"Yes, and he doesn't seem reliable. If he does it once, he'll do it again. I don't want to be cuckolded."
After saying that, the two left.
In the blink of an eye, only the sturdy, dark-skinned woman remained in the room.
She considered for a moment and said, "Your brother isn't doing so well anymore. Although he's young and good-looking, just like they say, he has a criminal record and a bad temper. If I were to marry him, I'd have to be careful. I can't afford such a high dowry."
Upon hearing that he hadn't refused, Shi Fen was immediately delighted and said enthusiastically, "Don't worry, elder sister, it's okay if the dowry is a little less. After my third son marries you, you can keep a close eye on him for a while. Once he accepts his fate, I guarantee he'll be obedient!"
The dark-faced woman smiled. She wasn't worried about him being disobedient. She always had someone at home, and her family members were all strong. Her son was only a teenager, but he was already stronger than her when she worked as a porter at the coal mine. Who knew who would bully whom in the end?
The problem is that my parents have difficulty living at home, and my son is clumsy and can't take good care of them.
She originally wanted to find a distant relative to work as a nanny, but then she heard that nannies had to be paid, so she decided to find an honest son-in-law who would live with her family. She could just give him a dowry and treat him like a maid.
She thought it was a good deal too.
However, everyone knows her family's situation; it's not easy to find a son-in-law who will live with the family. So after searching for so many days, Huang Laosan is the only one who isn't picky.
She didn't care about his past reputation; if it happened again, she'd just break his legs. Besides, Huang Laosan was good-looking and young...
Thinking this way, the dark-faced woman was tempted.
"Reduce the betrothal gifts by half, and I'll take this person!"
Shi Fen couldn't wait to get him out of there, and after hearing this, she readily agreed without any hesitation, "Hey, Big Sister is a straightforward person, then it's settled."
Anyway, she hadn't expected to get any unexpected money, so this was already pretty good.
