Chapter 31: Talking about marriage, blowing pillow talk

While Chu Sangning was cooking medicine at home, the people working in the fields and chatting started again.

A few gossipers talked about everything under the sun, people from the village and outside the village, even the number of puppies the village dog had given birth to.

Zhao Jiayun followed them and listened to the villagers' gossip. He felt that they were really not presentable. They were always gossiping about their parents' affairs and had no aspirations at all.

They only know how to dig for food in the fields, but don’t know how to go out and fight for a new world.

"Hey, have you heard? The matchmaker told me two days ago that the Luo family asked her to introduce a partner to Luo Yiping."

"Looking at their ages, it's about the same. Which little girl did Old Lady Luo fall in love with?"

"No, it must be someone from a well-off family. Otherwise, given Mrs. Luo's high standards, she won't accept anyone who is just average."

Zhao Jiayun listened to the whole thing holding his breath, cursing with gritted teeth: You damn old woman, are you waiting to die and be reincarnated? Why are you in such a hurry to find a partner for your son?

The two chatterboxes in front continued, "I think the educated youth in our village are not bad either."

"Not bad, not bad, but Mrs. Luo doesn't think highly of it. There have been cases of educated youth getting married, having children, and then sneaking back to the city."

Zhao Jiayun was in a bad mood the whole morning. After returning home, he tried every means to get information out of Old Lady Luo. When he found out about her idea of ​​finding a wife for her son, Zhao Jiayun was so angry that he wanted to curse her.

Damn it, even though she made Luo Yiping change his mind about her, they still hadn't hit it off, and Luo Yiping wouldn't even consider her becoming his partner.

In the afternoon, when people were going home after work, Zhao Jiayun took a detour to walk with Luo Yiping. On the way, Zhao Jiayun asked, "Brother Luo, I heard that Auntie wants to introduce you to someone?"

Luo Yiping hesitated for a moment, then showed a look of joy on his face, "Yeah."

Luo Yiping did not answer after being asked many times. After the two of them returned home one after the other, Old Mrs. Luo looked at them and pulled her son aside.

I was wondering if my son had been bewitched by Zhao Jiayun, a female educated youth.

"Son, tell me the truth, do you have someone you like? Is it the one who lives in our house?" Old Mrs. Luo was worried that her son would get entangled with the educated youth.

That won't work. The educated youth are unreliable. They come from other places and their minds are not here. Once they get married, they will definitely go back if they have the chance.

"Mom, no, don't ruin Zhao Zhiqing's reputation. It's not her." As Luo Yiping spoke, his voice gradually became smaller and his face turned red.

"If not her, then who is it?"

Luo Yiping thought of the scene when he first saw Chu Sangning. It was a dark night, and Chu Sangning was dressed simply. Her voice was soft and delicate, as sweet as candy.

"Mom," Luo Yiping begged in a low voice, hesitating, "I like Chu, Chu Zhiqing."

Mrs. Luo was still feeling uncomfortable at first, but when she heard the three words "Chu Zhiqing", her eyes suddenly lit up, and she clapped her hands in excitement: "Great, Chu Zhiqing, great. Mom will find someone to speak for you tomorrow."

"My son is so good-looking, hardworking and down-to-earth, and willing to work. Chu Zhiqing is liked by my son, so she should be very happy."

Old Mrs. Luo exaggerates so much that Luo Yiping feels embarrassed. He turns his head away with patches of red and white on his face.

Zhao Jiayun, who was eavesdropping at the corner of the wall, could hear the conversation between the two clearly. He immediately felt hatred in his heart. They were all educated youth, so why?

Why would Mrs. Luo prefer Chu Sangning over herself?

In what way am I inferior to Chu Sangning?

Zhao Jiayun clenched his fists in hatred and looked at Old Lady Luo and Luo Yiping, "You forced me to do this."

She left silently, while Old Lady Luo happily went to find a matchmaker to go to the Jiang family.

Coincidentally, it was the same person who came to the house last time to introduce Jiang Xingyan to a girl. He also walked in with a handkerchief in his hand and held Chu Sangning's hand tightly, chattering.

"You must be Chu Zhiqing, you are so beautiful, just like the person in the painting."

"Look at her eyebrows and eyes, they are so pretty. Do you have a date?"

Chu Sangning shook his head in surprise, "No."

"That's good, Chu Zhiqing. I'm here today for a great cause, a great thing." The matchmaker covered her mouth and smiled foolishly, her eyes unable to stop looking at Chu Sangning.

Lin Xiuzhi had known the matchmaker for decades. She knew what she was thinking with just one look. She thought something was wrong and immediately stood in front of Chu Sangning, asking with a fake smile, "What big happy event is this?"

The matchmaker pushed Lin Xiuzhi away and held Chu Sangning's hand. "Do you know the Luo family? Luo Yiping is about your age. I'm here to talk to you about marriage."

Chu Sangning struggled to break free from the matchmaker's hand and refused with a tangled look on her face: "Madam, I'm still young."

"What do you mean small? I had already had a child when I was your age. Luo Yiping, the most hardworking and down-to-earth man in our village, has chosen you."

"Tell me one thing, what do you think of Yiping?"

Chu Sangning doesn't even know him, so what happened?

"Auntie, my father is not around, so I can't make a decision myself, and I don't have any intention of doing so now."

The matchmaker was so choked that she didn't know what to say. Lin Xiuzhi waved her hand and interrupted, "The child is still young and doesn't even know the Luo family. Don't talk about this."

"Auntie, I really don't mean that. Please don't match me up." Chu Sangning spread her hands helplessly and refused vigorously.

The man has feelings but the woman has no intention, and the matchmaker cannot force Chu Zhiqing to nod and agree. She can see that Jiang family's Lin Xiuzhi protects this educated youth like the apple of her eye.

If I said something wrong, Lin Xiuzhi would definitely be the first one to not forgive me.

"Okay, female educated youth, please think about it. Luo Yiping from the Luo family is also a good kid."

According to the matchmaker, it was already very lucky for Chu Sangning to marry into the Luo family. Although Mrs. Luo might not be an easy person to get along with, men are always easily persuaded.

The daughter-in-law who is in the warm bed should whisper in her ear. It is not certain who the man will help between the mother and the daughter-in-law.

After the matchmaker left, Lin Xiuzhi spat twice in disdain, fearing that Chu Sangning would be tempted by the matchmaker's suggestion and pull her aside to have a heart-to-heart talk.

"Sang Ning, don't listen to the matchmaker. The Luo family is not a good place. Luo Yiping is okay, but his mother is not." Lin Xiuzhi pouted. Only an older person could control the vicious heart of Old Mrs. Luo.

If Sang Ning had gone there, who knows what kind of torture he would have suffered from the old lady.

Lin Xiuzhi kept nagging, and Chu Sangning smiled and took Lin Xiuzhi's arm: "Auntie, I know, I don't like it, so I will definitely not agree."

What Luo family? She didn't know them. What was the point of marrying into them? And if her father in Lu City knew that she had secretly arranged to marry him, he would definitely take her away from home and break the legs of the man who had seduced her away.
