"Hey, big sister, you're finally back. I've been looking forward to seeing you back for so long."
"Matchmaker Zhang, why are you here?" When Jiang's mother saw Matchmaker Zhang coming, she knew what was going on.
These guys are smart enough.
"Sister, I'm thirsty after walking so far. Do you mind if I come in and sit for a while?"
Matchmaker Zhang was not blind. As soon as she saw Jiang's mother's attitude, she knew that she was not welcome.
But she would not give up her goal just because of other people's expressions.
Nowadays, who can resist money?
"Come in." Jiang's mother didn't want to chase the person out.
After all, I have two sons. As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain.
Offending the matchmaker will not benefit your family.
"Oh, look at this. If you ask me, you're the most blessed person in our area. Look at this spacious yard. Your children are all successful. Your husband is even an eighth-level fitter. I can't even imagine how happy this life must be!"
After all, matchmaker Zhang makes a living by talking, so she started bombarding Jiang's mother with sugar-coated bullets right from the start.
What could Jiang's mother say? She couldn't say, "Yes, she is the happiest and no one lives a worse life than her." Wouldn't that offend people?
"It's not as exaggerated as you say. Every family has its own problems. Life is like this, with both bittersweet moments."
"Hey, sister, don't be so modest. Who wouldn't envy your life? I heard there's news from your family. Congratulations! You finally found your family."
Matchmaker Zhang's eyes were darting around the room.
"Thanks."
Mother Jiang just said thank you and stopped talking.
When Matchmaker Zhang saw that Jiang's mother didn't continue the conversation, she knew that she didn't want to talk about it.
She was still thinking about finding out about Yao Yuling's family, but it seemed like she wouldn't be able to find out anything.
But she heard that two military vehicles brought Yao Yulin back. It was her brother who specially brought her back, which shows how much he values her.
My brother is a high-ranking official, otherwise how could he be so powerful and give Yao Yulin so many good things.
"Sister Zhang, please tell me directly, what brings you here today?"
Jiang's mother didn't want to beat around the bush with her anymore, it was tiring.
"I... am here to congratulate you, sister." Matchmaker Zhang came here quickly after receiving a five-dollar commission.
The other party said that after the job was done, she would be given ten yuan as a reward, which added up to fifteen yuan. Naturally, Matchmaker Zhang did her best.
"Sister Zhang has already congratulated you. If there is nothing else..." Mother Jiang looked at Matchmaker Zhang. She didn't believe that she came here just to congratulate her.
The two of them don't have much contact with each other in normal times, and they don't have such deep feelings for each other.
"Hehehe... Of course... There are other happy events, and they are huge happy events."
"Your Jiang Peng is already quite grown up, right? I've watched him grow up, so I'm sure he'll be a great kid. He's hardworking and down-to-earth, just like his father when he was young. I was thinking of introducing him to a good girl so he can get married soon. Isn't she looking forward to having grandchildren soon?"
Matchmaker Zhang laid a lot of groundwork in the early stages, naturally because she also knew that it would be difficult to talk to the people she wanted to talk to.
"I'm not in a rush about having grandchildren. My Xiaopeng is not in a hurry to find a partner. When fate arrives, it will happen naturally. There's no point for me, as a mother, to worry about it."
When Jiang's mother saw that Zhang the matchmaker was beating around the bush and hadn't even explained the girl's situation, she already knew that she couldn't be from a good family.
So I declined.
"Well, how can that be possible?"
"As parents, we have to keep a close eye on our children."
"I won't hide it from you anymore. I came here today because the carpenter Chen's family asked me to come. Doesn't he have two daughters?"
Seeing that Jiang's mother didn't respond, matchmaker Zhang had no choice but to speak directly.
"Chen family?"
Mother Jiang looked at Matchmaker Zhang. She didn't expect it was the Chen family.
"Haha, yes, it's the daughter-in-law of the Chen family who asked me to come and mediate between you. Her daughter, Chen Qiuyu, you know, is very beautiful. Isn't she nineteen this year, she's old enough. Her mother asked me to come and mediate between your family. Maybe the two children will fall in love and become in-laws."
Mother Jiang looked at Matchmaker Zhang and said, "I remember... they have an older daughter, right? She should be twenty this year."
But Jiang Mu of the Chen family knew this.
When Carpenter Chen was young, he learned carpentry from Old Man Qin. Old Man Qin treated him very well and was no different from his own son.
Old Master Qin has only one daughter, Qin Yanran, who is very beautiful but not in good health.
Old Master Qin lives alone with his daughter, but fortunately he has good skills and many people come to him to make furniture. The father and daughter live a very comfortable life.
Old Master Qin had several apprentices, and Carpenter Chen was the youngest one. Later, Carpenter Chen became successful in his studies and married Qin Yanran, which everyone thought was a good thing.
Later, Mr. Qin passed away. The young couple and their daughter lived together as a family of three, and they were doing pretty well.
But Qin Yanran died when the child was only eight years old.
Before daybreak, after his wife passed away, Carpenter Chen brought a mother and daughter home. The girl was one year younger than Qin Yanran's daughter.
This is not the most infuriating thing. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this little girl is Carpenter Chen’s daughter. She looks very much like Carpenter Chen and even calls Carpenter Chen “Dad.”
Everyone speculated that Qin Yanran might have been angered to death by these two people. This was obviously a case of her family being wiped out.
It is said that the eldest daughter of Carpenter Chen and Qin Yanran has always been bullied by her stepmother and younger sister. She is now twenty years old.
Now it seems that the rumors may not be false.
She bypassed her eldest daughter and arranged a marriage for her own daughter.
"Um... the Chen family might have their own arrangements for that girl. I came here today to talk about Chen Qiuyu, the second daughter of the Chen family."
Mother Jiang shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, Sister Zhang, this trip will be in vain."
"Big sister, don't be so quick to refuse. It's okay to let the children meet. What if they fall in love?"
Matchmaker Zhang thought about her ten dollars and didn't want to give it up.
"I don't think it's appropriate. Sister Zhang, thank you for making this trip." Jiang's mother looked as if she was sending the guests away. Matchmaker Zhang didn't know what to say, so she had to leave first and explain to the Chen family that the Jiang family was unwilling.
