After a while, Mrs. Feng brought some famous matchmakers in the county to Baiweiju to find her, bringing a lot of gifts. She also prepared some food from the shop and took it with them.
Along the way, the matchmakers kept asking Lin Wanwan if she was engaged and wanted to recommend some good families to her. She felt a headache listening to them and could only decline politely, telling them that she already had a lover and would go to the capital to find him in a year or two.
The matchmaker felt very sorry but had to give up and asked about Lin Huniu's family situation.
"Her mother passed away early, and her father remarried and gave birth to a son. He didn't pay much attention to her on weekdays. He always gave her brother the good food and clothes first. Alas, her stepmother is very powerful. We must persuade her when we go there later!"
"Ah, it's not easy. Okay, we understand. Just watch us later!"
After hearing what they said, Lin Wanwan felt much more relieved. She hoped that Hu Niu's stepmother would be smarter, otherwise don't blame her for using her trump card!
She brought the matchmakers all the way to Huniu's house. It was her stepmother who opened the door. Seeing a bunch of women, she asked blankly, "Who are you looking for?"
Lin Wanwan stepped forward with a smile, “Sister-in-law, they are here to propose marriage to Hu Niu!”
The matchmakers surrounded her with great tact, and said with a smile, "Hey, sister, we are here to propose a marriage to your daughter!"
"Yes! Your daughter is a blessed one! The owner of Yunyin Tower came to us specifically to propose marriage!"
"Big sister, you are so young and beautiful, and the daughters you raise are really rare!"
"Yes, yes! Yunyinlou is a wealthy businessman in the county! Shopkeeper Feng has only one brother-in-law, who is handsome and skilled. His family is wealthy and the best family!"
"Oh, the Ren Wang family is not bad! There is only one son in the family, it's very good!"
After listening to them talking so much, Yu Xier also became interested, so she took them into the house and talked in detail.
Lin Huniu's aunt had diarrhea, so she came back to rest. She happened to see a group of people at the door of her house, so she followed them quietly. She thought it was the Jia family giving a betrothal gift, but it didn't seem like it, so she lay down by the door and prepared to eavesdrop.
Yu Xier asked Huniu to come out and pour tea for the matchmakers. She said with a smile, "My daughter is very capable and has a skill. There are many people who want to marry her!"
"I'm telling you, sister. The Feng and Wang families are two of the best families in the county! If you marry into their family, you won't have to worry about anything in the future!"
"Yes! They are very sincere! Who can invite so many matchmakers to propose marriage?"
Yu Xier glanced at the gifts they brought. There were almost thirty items in total, but not as many as those given by Lai Ke Lou.
She rolled her eyes and said contemptuously, "The guest house came to propose marriage a few days ago, saying that the betrothal gift could be 200 taels! Can the Wang family afford so much?"
The matchmakers smiled awkwardly and looked at each other. The leading matchmaker no longer had the previous enthusiasm, but she still had a smile on her face.
"Sister, you are selling your daughter! The son of the owner of Lai Ke Lou is not an easy person to deal with! He has a lot of concubines. Can you bear the life after marrying your daughter to him?"
"Hey, men! It's normal to have three wives and four concubines! Just be good to my Tiger Girl! Isn't that right Tiger Girl?"
Lin Huniu rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "You've heard what the matchmaker said. The son of the Jia family has a lot of concubines. I won't go. If you think it's good, go by yourself!"
"Bang!" Yu Xier slammed the table and said angrily, "What are you talking about! I'm going to beat you, ugh! This is all for your own good!"
Lin Huniu sneered, stared at her and said: "You call this doing it for my own good? I'm afraid you're just after her betrothal gift!"
"You! You kid!"
Lin Wanwan quickly pulled her aside to prevent her from having a conflict with Yu Xier.
"Oh, sister, your daughter doesn't want to go to the Jia family! The Wang family is not bad either! You should lower your demands a little! Who in the county would offer so much money? I've been a matchmaker for so many years and I've never heard of it!"
"Yes, but your family is in debt? Or do you want to return half of the dowry?"
Yu Xier immediately frowned and said unhappily, "Humph! It doesn't cost a fortune for my family to raise her to this age! Since the Feng and Wang families can't come up with that much betrothal gift, they can just go find someone else!"
"Big sister, we are here to have a serious discussion! Think about it carefully. This betrothal gift is not just silver!"
"Yes, of course it can't be just silver! The Jia family also showed me the gift list, which contained a lot of goodies, at least more than ten loads!"
Lin Wanwan suddenly sneered and said to her, "Sister Lin, don't be so decisive. If you offend these matchmakers, you may not be able to find a good family in the future!"
Yu Xier stood up instantly and wanted to curse Lin Wanwan, but when she thought of her current status, she lowered her voice.
"Wan girl, our Hu Niu is still working so hard for you! How can you curse her like that! I think you should hire another cook! Hu Niu has someone to marry, so she can stay at home and wait for her marriage!"
