Matchmaker Zhao was quite wronged. She had her doubts and tried to verify them, but He always gave her a reasonable explanation.
Given that she had encountered similar situations in her matchmaking career, she was somewhat prejudiced and assumed that the family was hiding something, that no one wanted to take the blame, and that someone would end up bearing the responsibility.
Every family has its own problems.
Especially for families with some financial means, the more they try to cover it up, the more it's ultimately for their own face and reputation. They don't want to get involved directly, so they push the matter onto others!
If a similar situation hadn't occurred before, she wouldn't have been so careless!
At this point, Zhao the matchmaker realized that something was wrong, and she was filled with remorse and regret.
She didn't know anything about Zhou Yuzhu, and had never even seen her face, so she had no idea whether there was anything wrong with her!
We're doomed!
I guess he stayed home specifically to wait for her to come today!
This is probably going to be difficult to handle!
Matchmaker Zhao could already foresee that she was going to be in big trouble!
He couldn't help but curse He Shi in his heart. It was all He Shi's fault. When he saw her later, he would definitely slap her a few times!
She worked so hard as a matchmaker, and all the good reputation she had painstakingly built up over half her life was about to be ruined!
How could I not hate it!
However, I also hate myself for being blinded by money and believing what Madam He said: if things go well, I will give her a large sum of money as a matchmaker. With the Mo family as a guarantee, what am I afraid of!
In the end, I was really scared!
The Zhou family denied that she had acted as matchmaker, because they knew nothing about it. Moreover, the girl was perfectly normal and did not have any of the problems that He claimed!
"You handle this yourself, it's none of our business! I'm marrying off my daughter, there's no reason for anyone to bypass me to discuss the marriage! This is your mistake, you take responsibility for it! Go settle accounts with whoever you contacted! We've never even seen the money between you, so don't ask us! Also, this whole thing you've done has damaged my daughter's reputation, you must clarify things and restore her honor! Otherwise, we'll see you in court!"
Wang was furious and spoke rudely, even adopting an aggressive tone.
The matchmaker, Zhao, was terrified. How could she possibly take responsibility for this?
The groom has already given the bride price and set a wedding date with him. Marriage is a major event, so how can we go back on our word?
The man was worried that the woman might change her mind, which is why he was in such a hurry. It just so happened that Madam He was also eager to marry off her sister-in-law, so they hit it off immediately and set a date for the closest one!
The man has a problem, and everyone in the neighborhood knows it. Nobody wants to marry their daughter into the family. He's getting too old, so they're in a hurry. It's not easy to find someone who's similar to him!
Isn't the Zhou family's situation just perfect? It's practically a match made in heaven!
That's not the case!
Oh my God!
This is a huge problem!
Who would have thought that Zhao, the matchmaker, who had been a matchmaker for half her life, would also make a mistake and stumble!
This is a huge matter; she really can't afford to take responsibility for it!
Therefore, Matchmaker Zhao was also trying to find a way to shirk responsibility.
"Oh dear! Auntie, calm down! This isn't entirely my fault. I was wrong, but you were wrong too! He Shi is your daughter-in-law. If she dared to do this, didn't she tacitly approve of it to some extent? Otherwise, how could she have been so bold?"
Besides, the engagement is already arranged, how can it be changed so easily? Your daughter even sent a token of love back then, it's hard to say what will happen! Why not just go with the flow? The young man comes from a very good family, he's an only child, everything will be his in the future! When it comes to marriage, it doesn't matter who you marry! Such good conditions will be hard to find again!"
Matchmaker Zhao didn't want to take responsibility and just wanted to shirk it as much as possible. But since the matter needed to be resolved, she wanted to get it settled quickly so that she might be able to get a matchmaker's fee in the end!
But while she was thinking about it, the Zhou family didn't want to at all. This was simply a robbery, not only did they not get their consent, but they also wanted to force them to accept it!
How could that be!
Absolutely not!
Even Zhou Ping, a man of few words, was so angry that he spewed out a rage. What did they take his daughter for? How could outsiders decide his daughter's life so casually!
How shameless!
This is outrageous!
"Matchmaker Zhao, at your age, shouldn't your children be getting married by now? Do you want me to arrange a similar marriage for you? Do you really think the Zhou family is easy to bully? My daughter isn't worried about getting married; she just doesn't want to yet, not that she can't find a husband! Why not find someone normal? Do you want to find someone with a disease for your children too? If you think this is a rare opportunity, then let your daughter marry! My daughter will not marry without my permission!"
Wang was so angry she couldn't sit still any longer and stood up abruptly. "Matchmaker Zhao, I really want to respect you, but you've gone too far! Is what you're saying even human? Since ancient times, marriages have always been arranged by parents and matchmakers. In your case, you've made it so that we, as parents, didn't even know our daughter was getting married! No matter what, you're completely wrong! We absolutely disagree with and refuse to acknowledge this so-called marriage! We'd rather take it to court!"
Zhao the matchmaker was filled with bitterness. She was just doing matchmaking; she didn't want to go to court!
Once you get to that kind of place, she'll definitely be in the wrong!
Besides, she'd heard that the Mo family had some connections and background, which was not something a mere matchmaker like her could afford to offend. If she went to court, she might end up in jail!
Who wants to get into a lawsuit?
"But your daughter gave you a personal item as a token, and there's no denying that! There's no point in arguing here. If we let them come out and confront each other, wouldn't everything become clear?"
Matchmaker Zhao had been trying to find He Shi, but even after staring intently for so long, she still couldn't find a trace of her!
She was so anxious!
Wang did it on purpose. Why would she let people out so early? To make a scene and cause a commotion!
Two people are enough to argue!
"Then tell me what kind of personal item it is, and what it looks like?"
Wang did not agree to immediately send someone out.
There was no use in Zhao the matchmaker being anxious; she could only try to recall, "It was a small chain, clearly handmade, with stones, fruit shells, and some other indescribable things! It had a variety of colors and was quite pretty! The surface was smooth, and it had been used for a long time; it wouldn't be like that if it wasn't worn often!"
After hearing this, Wang snorted and threw a chain onto the table. "Then take a look, is it like this?"
Matchmaker Zhao stepped forward, took a look, and nodded. "Yes! That's the style! Huh?! Why does it look the same?"
Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?
"No! I took a few more glances at the time, there's no mistake!"
