These words really touched Zhang Lanzhen's heart. As a mother, she didn't want her child to have a good home. If Zhao Fangyu was really as Yun Qiao said, with a kind heart and willing to treat An Jin well, it would be better than anything else.
Although her son was a scholar, Zhang Lanzhen did not feel superior because of this. Whether to marry into the town or not, and whether to live a glorious life or not, were all empty talk. What mattered was to live a stable and comfortable life. If he was really the despicable man who was a playboy in the town, no matter how rich he was or how much betrothal gift he gave, she would not marry An Jin to him.
Seeing that Zhang Lanzhen's expression had relaxed a lot, Yun Qiao added fuel to the fire and said, "Auntie, don't just look at age. What's the big deal? What's important is that they care about people. If they only look at age, and there are quarrels every few days after she gets married, you'll be anxious and angry too, right? Your village is called Donghu. Remember how you were treated in your natal family? The Zhao family still provided you with good food and drink, but now you're like a completely different person. Such kind-hearted people are rare in our village."
Zhang Lanzhen's worries were relieved a lot. What he said was absolutely right. Nothing could make a mother feel more at ease than a happy couple.
Zhang Lanzhen knew very well what Donghu's childhood was like. She had heard An Jin say many times that Donghu had changed a lot. After all, it was the Zhao family that suffered the loss in the beginning. But they still treated Yang Donghu well and didn't make him angry, which showed that the Zhao family was not wrong.
She glanced at Yun Qiao, and a smile appeared on her stern face: "You, you, there is no one sweeter than you. You are in such a bad condition, but you still help me worry about this and that. Take care of yourself and don't work too hard."
"Oh." Yun Qiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Auntie. I know what I'm doing. I won't be too tired. If this matchmaking is successful, who knows how much good fortune it will bring to my child."
"Okay, I think it's a good idea. I'll go ask An Jin what he thinks. The child is older and has more thoughts. If he doesn't want to agree, I can't force him to do it."
Zhang Lanzhen poured Yun Qiao a cup of warm water, asked him to sit down and rest, and then she went into the inner room.
An Jin was embroidering a handkerchief. When she saw Zhang Lanzhen come in, she thought the people outside had left and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Zhang Lanzhen took the handkerchief from Yang Anjin's hand and nodded with satisfaction. Her embroidery skills had improved. After a pause, she said, "She's the matchmaker from Zhaojiazhuang. You should know why she came to our house. I came to ask your opinion."
Not only was Zhang Lanzhen angry about what happened last time, but Yang Anjin himself was also unhappy. He was a little bored at the moment: "Why are you talking about this again? Didn't we agree not to mention it?"
"This time it's different. Yun Qiao is a very honest person. The people she introduced are all down-to-earth and hardworking. You and Dong Hu are so close, so you should know him. He's the son of Dong Hu's uncle and aunt, Zhao Fangyu. Do you remember him?"
Yang Anjin was stunned: "Why is it him?"
"What's wrong with him? Do you know what's going on in his family? Is the matchmaker hiding something? Talk to Mom."
"No, no, Aunt Cuilan is a very nice person, I just didn't expect it." Yang Anjin waved his hand.
Zhang Lanzhen glanced at him and said, "I heard from the matchmaker that this guy is a good person. Let's not get involved in those empty things. We must not be greedy for fame and fortune. The people in the village are no worse than those in the town. Don't think about climbing up the social ladder, otherwise you will suffer if you marry into one."
"Mom, where have you been? You miss me like this."
Seeing Yang Anjin's expression change, Zhang Lanzhen coaxed him, "Mother knows you're a good child, so I'm just reminding you. If you don't want to listen, I won't say it anymore. Yunqiao is still sitting outside. Give me a definite answer. Do you want to see it first?"
Yang Anjin had no impression of Zhao Fangyu at all. They had only met a few times in a hurry and he didn't even see what his nose and eyes looked like, so it was hard to say whether he liked him or not.
But he had also thought about it. He couldn't stay at home all his life anyway. He would definitely get married in the future. It didn't matter who he married. Aunt Cuilan was a good person, and Fang Chu was easy to get along with. More importantly, he would be able to live with Donghu in the same place in the future. No matter how he looked at it, the future would not be bad.
If I were to say in the future that my mother-in-law was making things difficult for me or that my husband was incompetent, I would really cry.
Thinking this way, Yang Anjin no longer felt awkward and nodded, saying, "I'll listen to my mother."
"Okay, I'll go tell Yunqiao not to make anyone wait anxiously." Seeing that Yang Anjin was relieved, Zhang Lanzhen told him to continue embroidering the handkerchief, and went out to tell Yunqiao that Anjin agreed to meet first.
Yun Qiao was so happy to see that the matter was done that he didn't even drink the water. He was still waiting to send a letter to Zhu Cuilan's family.
Zhu Cuilan waited anxiously for the letter at home, but she didn't expect to hear back so soon. She was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She held Yun Qiao's hand and couldn't stop thanking her: "Thanks so much to you. If it weren't for you, this wouldn't have been possible. I really don't know how to thank you."
"Aunt, what you said is out of line. We all live in the same village. It's a piece of cake. When Fang Yu gets married, I will come and have a good drink at the wedding and share in the joy." Yun Qiao said with a smile.
Zhu Cuilan nodded hurriedly: "That's for sure. No matter who comes, you, the matchmaker, will have to come. Come on, come in and sit for a while. You've been busy running around for my family's affairs and you've put in a lot of effort. Come in and have a drink of water and rest your feet."
Although Zhu Cuilan had cordially invited her, Yun Qiao had been away for quite some time. He was afraid that if he delayed her any longer, her husband would be worried. So he waved his hand and said, "No, Auntie. If I go back late, my wife will be worried. It's already noon, and I should go back. Whether it works out later depends on you."
"I know. Then I won't keep you. When Fang Yu settles down, I will definitely give you a big red envelope." Seeing that he was determined to leave, Zhu Cuilan stopped trying to keep him.
