"He comes often, every day. Over the years, thanks to him, he has chopped wood for us, fixed the roof, repaired the table and the door, and when he was busy, he even helped us tend to the crops. Without him, what would we two old men do? He is just like my own son, no, he is even better than my own son."
"Hey, you've heard about it, right? His family background is not good, no girl would like him, and now he can't even get married."

Judging from her tone, she might be trying to arrange a match for her.
She is now traumatized by matchmaking.
