Su Sanlan was very proactive and quickly went to Matchmaker Yang's house.
"Old sister, last time I asked you to help keep an eye on a good girl, is there any suitable one for our fourth child?"
Matchmaker Yang was originally from Sujia Village, and the two had known each other since childhood. She was very concerned about finding a partner for Fourth Brother Shi.
"I've been thinking about it. Actually, I have some suitable candidates here. The girl is very beautiful, but of course she can't compare to your Shi Liu. It's a pity for that girl. She originally met someone two years ago and was about to get married, but her father passed away. The girl is also filial and insisted on observing a year of mourning for her father."
Su Sanlan smacked her lips. "The man dislikes her mourning period and has changed his mind?"
Matchmaker Yang snorted. "If that were the case, I wouldn't say she was unlucky. Her cousin saw that the man was from the city and had a good family, so she intervened and snatched the marriage away! But, someone I know told me that the man had a swapped bride because he and his fiancée's cousin were pregnant, and that's why they hurriedly got married."
"That girl's mother is also very proud. In a fit of anger, she severed the relationship with her eldest uncle. Now the two families have no contact with each other. Her mother asked me to introduce her to another girl. This time, they don't want to marry into the city."
Matchmaker Yang also felt that she had ruined her reputation, so she thought about introducing a better girl to someone else. Although Su Sanlan was a bit fierce, she was not a bad person by nature. Apart from doting on her daughter, she did not bully her daughter-in-law.
Su Sanlan didn't think breaking off the engagement was a big deal. Instead, she was quite impressed by the girl's mother's actions: "Relationships like this should be severed as soon as possible to avoid being stabbed in the future."
Matchmaker Yang had been matchmaking for a lifetime, but this was the first time she had encountered something like this. She was completely humiliated. "I didn't expect city people to be so unrefined. They'd actually gotten together with their eldest sister-in-law. To be honest, that girl's cousin isn't nearly as pretty as her. I didn't expect she'd actually be such a vixen, seducing her brother-in-law."
Hearing this, Su Sanlan's eyes flashed with disdain: "Don't you think it's shameful? That guy will definitely regret it in the future."
"He doesn't need to regret it now. In fact, he never planned to marry his eldest sister-in-law. He just wanted to have some fun. But he didn't expect her to get pregnant. If he didn't get married, she would sue him. In order to avoid being in trouble, he agreed to the marriage exchange."
"Serves him right!" Su Sanlan said with disdain, "He didn't even think about why he slept with the girl for free. He couldn't control his two ounces of flesh and deserved to be schemed against. However, even if this kind of person is married, he won't necessarily be honest. It's really disgusting that this happened before marriage, but it's better than discovering infidelity after marriage."
Shi Liu also agreed with this. It would be even more troublesome if they had a child. These days, most people don't get divorced. Even if the man cheated after marriage, the girl would probably swallow her anger. It would be better to lose face now than to die forever.
Seeing that Su Sanlan and her daughter were not disgusted by the girl, Matchmaker Yang continued, "Not only is she beautiful, she's also very capable. Her grandmother used to be an embroiderer employed by a wealthy family. She has inherited all her skills, and now she has passed them on to the girl. Otherwise, the people in the city wouldn't be interested in her."
Shi Liu asked curiously, "Aunt Yang, where is that girl from and what is her name?"
Matchmaker Yang clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Look at me, I've been talking for so long that I forgot to introduce the girl's name."
"That girl is from the Advanced Production Team next door. That place was originally called Hewan Village. They even have a fish farm in the village, and they get a share of fish every year. You may have heard of her father. Sun Ershan worked at the commune supply and marketing cooperative before he died, and he was a colleague of your eldest brother."
Su Sanlan thought about it and she had some recollection: "I remember now. Shi Liu's uncle also said that Sun Ershan's daughter was very pretty. I think her name was Sun Xiuxiu."
"Yes, that's his name. Sun Ershan died in a car accident while purchasing goods, and now his son Sun Dongpo has taken over his job."
Shi Liu had a flash of inspiration. The city family probably fell in love with Sun Xiuxiu because of this formal job. It was a pity that their son was not up to the standard and ended up marrying an ugly wife. However, if Sun Xiuxiu was really as good as matchmaker Yang said, her fourth brother would be really lucky.
"Mom, this girl sounds good. Do you want to arrange for Fourth Brother to meet her?"
"Of course we have to meet, but let's not do that before the New Year. This is for after the New Year. Xiuqin, go back and tell the girl's mother to pick a date after the New Year to go to the girl's house to meet her."
The family conditions sound good. The Sun family might be able to subsidize their daughter in the future, so the Shi family will get the upper hand.
Matchmaker Yang burst into laughter upon hearing this, almost patting her chest as she promised, "No problem, I will definitely arrange it properly."
The fourth son of the Shi family was a hardworking man. If these two really got together, they would have a happy life together, and she would have done her best for the girl. Alas, Yang, the matchmaker, had been feeling uneasy after introducing Sun Xiuxiu to someone she hadn't met before, which had ruined their reputation and made the marriage difficult. Now she could finally relax.
With her major concern resolved, Matchmaker Yang turned to gossip: "Have you heard? Several families in Baijia Village are getting divorced. A divorced young wife came to me the other day, hoping to find a good man to remarry."
"She's really divorced. If she were to marry again, there's no way she'd marry into a good family. She might even end up being a stepmother."
Su Sanlan didn't quite understand the thoughts of these young wives. They definitely couldn't take their children away with them if they divorced, and they were unwilling to be separated from their children.
When mentioning this, matchmaker Yang sighed: "It's no wonder that the young wife wants to divorce and remarry. If she stays any longer, she might end up marrying someone else."
As soon as she heard that there was something fishy going on, Su Sanlan immediately became interested: "What's going on? Tell me the details."
Shi Liu was also very curious about this matter, and when he heard Su Sanlan's questioning, he quickly pricked up his ears to listen.
Matchmaker Yang took a sip of brown sugar water with satisfaction and asked, "You haven't been to Baijia Village recently, have you? Have you met anyone from Baijia Village?"
Su Sanlan waved her hand and said, "There's no work in the production team right now, so naturally I won't be able to see anyone from Baijia Village. As for going to Baijia Village, forget it. I think it's unlucky."
"I can tell you haven't seen the Bai family recently," Matchmaker Yang said mysteriously. "Every male in Baijia Village with the surname Bai has been bedridden over the past month. They've recovered from colds and fevers, but most have broken arms and legs and can't recover. They've even started dying a week ago."
"First, an old man named Bai died, and then five members of the Bai family died in quick succession! Recently, the wives who married into the family have also started to have accidents. At first, they just had minor injuries like sprained backs and feet, but then there was a woman in her thirties or forties who fell into a well and died. When she was found, her body was already stiff."
"Could it be the huge well in Baijia Village?" Su Sanlan had a flash of inspiration and was so scared that her hair stood on end.
Matchmaker Yang nodded affirmatively. "It's the well where someone died. Because of this incident, everyone in Baijia Village is saying that the murdered young wife is out seeking revenge. Don't disbelieve it. After the woman got into trouble, everyone started investigating and accidentally discovered that the murdered young wife was actually killed by the woman."
"Ah! It's a sin to say the least."
"If the woman's husband hadn't died early, he would have been the first to die. The young wife was pretty, and the woman's husband took a fancy to her. He raped her when no one was paying attention. The woman caught them and, out of jealousy, threw her into the well."
Su Sanlan had also heard of this incident: "Everyone initially said that the young wife had committed suicide by jumping into the well because she was devastated by her husband's death. Who could have imagined that there was such an injustice involved?"
Matchmaker Yang also sighed: "Who said it wasn't here?"
