"Cough cough cough..." Matchmaker Jin almost choked: "Water, water."
Xiaoman's mother quickly poured a glass of water for the matchmaker.
Han Bin thought to himself: "He can choke on a piece of pastry? How stupid is that? And someone this stupid is trying to arrange a marriage? The match he arranges must be terrible."
After recovering, the matchmaker thought: Is this girl stupid or is she in a hurry to get married?
Xiaoman's mother thought to herself: Why doesn't this child know how to be shy? Look how scared she's scared the matchmaker.
Xiaoman's father thought to himself: It's time to let the child hear this.
Xiaoman looked at everyone: Should I be shy? Oh well, since I've already said I'm not shy, then I'll continue not being shy. "Aunt Jin, what kind of family did you find for me?"
The matchmaker wiped her mouth with her handkerchief: "Since you want to know, then I'll tell you. That family has four daughters and one son. All the daughters are married. They just built a new house, so you'll be living in the new house when you go there. Also, that young man is very handsome."
Xiaoman thought for a moment and realized who the matchmaker was referring to. It seemed that in the matchmaker's eyes, the Wang family was easy to bully. "You can leave now, and don't come back again."
"What?!" Matchmaker Jin jumped to her feet. "I kindly offered to be your matchmaker, and you're kicking me out?"
Xiaoman glanced at the matchmaker Jin: "How much did the Huo family pay you?"
The matchmaker's eyes flickered: "The Huo family didn't give me any money. I just thought their family was well-off, so I introduced their son to you."
"Good conditions?" Xiaoman smiled and said, "Before my daughters got married, we lived in a thatched hut. After four daughters got married, we built a five-room house."
"With a house, we can start saving money."
"Save up money?"
"right."
Why was his family so poor before?
"Isn't everyone poor?"
Xiaoman glanced at the matchmaker Jin: "Aren't you afraid I'll throw you up a tree?"
"You...you...if you don't want to, then forget it. Haha...I have something to do, I'll be going now. Haha..." The matchmaker said, glancing at Xiaoman's mother, hoping to persuade her to stay.
Before Xiaoman's mother could react, Han Bin had already stood up: "I'll take you."
The matchmaker had no choice but to walk towards the door. As she went, she muttered to herself, "So powerful, who would dare to marry her?"
Xiaoman ignored her.
Han Bin glared at her.
Matchmaker Jin: "Even if she glares at me, I'll still say it. The news of her releasing snakes to bite people has already spread far and wide. If it weren't for her son's good behavior, the Huo family wouldn't have wanted her."
"Shut up and get out of here."
"Fine, I'm leaving. I won't come back even if you beg me. Hmph!"
After the matchmaker said that, Xiaoman's mother became worried again.
Xiaoman's father: "Daughter, how did you know she was talking about the Huo family just by listening?" The Huo family isn't from their village. "Also, why was their family so poor before?"
Xiaoman certainly couldn't say that she had visited all the nearby villages: "I heard it from others. His family had four daughters before they had a son, and they spoiled him rotten. His son became addicted to gambling at a very young age, which is why the family is so poor. He almost gambled away the money they had saved to build a house."
Xiaoman's father slammed his fist on the table in anger: "That matchmaker Jin is a real scoundrel. Isn't she just trying to ruin our Xiaoman's life?"
Han Bin: "Exactly, we can't let people like that into the house again."
Xiaoman's father: "Yes."
Xiaoman's mother glared at Xiaoman's father: "If we don't let the matchmaker in, how will Xiaoman get married?"
“This…” Xiaoman’s father scratched his head: “That is true.”
Han Bin: "It's okay, I'll introduce someone to Xiaoman."
Xiaoman's dad: "You?!"
Xiaoman's mother: "You're a boy, and you know how to introduce potential partners?"
Xiaoman: "You should take care of yourself first."
Han Bin spoke somewhat impulsively, and afterwards he blamed himself for not thinking of it sooner. "Xiaoman, what kind of person are you looking for? Our army doesn't have much of anything, except men."
Xiaoman's father: "That's right. Xiaoman, what kind of person do you want? Let Han Bin find one for you."
Xiaoman's mother: "How could I forget about this Ren? Han Bin, we don't have many requirements, as long as he has good character and can support the family."
Xiaoman: "Are you serious?"
"Yes." All three nodded at the same time.
"Alright then. I want to find a man who is well-proportioned, has handsome features, fair skin, a gentle personality, and is a good cook."
Xiaoman's dad: It's been a long time since I cleaned my ears, they need to be cleaned.
Xiaoman's mother: Is my daughter looking for a husband or a wife?
Han Bin: Xiaoman likes pretty boys?!
Xiaoman frowned: "Why aren't you all saying anything? Am I not clear?"
Xiaoman's dad picked at his ear: "My ear was a little blocked just now, say it again."
Xiaoman repeated what she had just said.
Xiaoman's father: "Daughter...daughter, are you...you must have said something wrong?"
"No. I just want to find someone like that."
"Girl, the kind of man you're talking about is all looks and no substance."
"It's okay, just be obedient." Xiaoman knew that here, men earned money to support the family, while women washed dishes, cooked, and took care of the children. But compared to washing dishes and cooking, she was better at earning money to support the family. Since that was the case, she would find a man like the men in her hometown. She would earn money, and he would wash dishes, cook, and take care of the children.
Xiaoman's mother said, "Marry a man for food and clothing. Daughter, just find someone who can support you and your children."
“I don’t need him to support me. He just needs to take good care of the children and manage the household.”
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? Letting a man take care of the child?"
“Daughter, we won’t look for someone like that. Someone like that…” Xiaoman’s father thought for a long time but couldn’t think of a suitable word, so he brought up “good-looking but useless” again.
"It doesn't matter if he's useless or not, as long as he's good-looking, can cook, and likes taking care of children, that's fine." Xiaoman felt that this kind of man was right for her.
Xiaoman's mother: "We don't have the kind of man you're looking for here."
Xiaoman thought for a moment. There really weren't any in the nearby villages. It was unlikely the military base would have any either. "Forget it, I'll just look for them myself."
Han Bin: "I'll find you a man, I'll find you a man. Where are you going to meet men, you're a girl?"
Xiaoman was a little surprised: "Does your unit have the kind of man I'm looking for?"
Xiaoman's mother didn't want Xiaoman to date that kind of man: "They train every day."
Han Bin: Yes, we have them where I live.
Xiaoman: "Really?"
Han Bin: "Mm."
Xiaoman didn't believe her. She'd led troops before, and her soldiers were all incredibly dark-skinned. "Then go ahead and look. Let me know when you find one. If I like it, I'll help you ten more times."
"real?"
A gentleman's word is as good as his bond.
"Okay. You wait. I'll definitely find one for you."
Xiaoman smiled.
Han Bin: "You don't believe me?"
“My mother said you train every day.”
"I told you, we don't have much of anything there, except men." Han Bin thought to himself: We're corrupt, but the performing arts troupe isn't. I'll go back and find you someone from the troupe. "You wait, I'll definitely find you a good one. Just you wait."
After leaving Xiaoman's house, Han Bin started thinking about how to get into the performing arts troupe. By the time he got home, he had already come up with several ideas.
Han Bin froze as soon as he entered the door. Why was he always frightened by his mother and grandmother every time he came home? "Grandma, Mom, what's wrong with you?"
