Chapter 95 Matchmaker
Zhang Yuanyuan understood her mother’s feelings at this moment, just like her own disbelief and joy when Wang Zhiqing confessed his love to her today.
Widow Du did not think that her daughter was too young to find a partner. Although the country now stipulates that men must be 20 and women must be 18 to get married, this was the case in that era. In rural areas, there were many de facto marriages where children got married at the age of 15-6, and it was a custom in rural areas.
When Widow Du came to her senses, she still found it incredible and asked Zhang Yuanyuan with a complicated look:
"Yuanyuan, what's going on? Please tell me in detail."
Since Zhang Yuanyuan had confessed to her mother, she had no intention of hiding anything and told Widow Du the entire process of the day in great detail.
After listening to this, Widow Du asked, "Yuanyuan, I think Wang Zhiqing is a good candidate, but I heard from people in the village that Wang Zhiqing already has a fiancée in the city, and they are engaged as children, so they will get married in a few years?"
Zhang Yuanyuan smiled and explained, "Mom, although I have just returned to the village, I have also heard this rumor.
I specifically asked Brother Yuanchao today, and he said that when he came to our Red Flag Brigade, too many people introduced him to potential partners.
He couldn't refuse, so he had to tell a white lie, saying that he had a childhood engagement and a fiancée. In this way, he could live a quiet life in the village. Everyone in our team knew that Brother Yuan Chao had good conditions.
Besides his family background, he is also hardworking, capable, handsome, kind, and responsible.
You don’t know how popular Brother Yuanchao is in the village. Even Sister Fubao wants to marry Brother Yuanchao every day despite her good conditions.”
Widow Du felt relieved when she heard her daughter say this.
Widow Du sold tofu at home every day and was well-informed. How could she not know how much Wang Yuanchao was liked by the young girls and wives in the Red Flag Brigade after he came to the brigade?
But Wang Zhiqing rarely went to the village. Apart from going to work, he stayed at home.
Otherwise, many young girls and wives would have been attached to him. Even when she first saw Wang Zhiqing, wasn't she also amorous and imaginative? She didn't expect that such a big piece of Tang Monk's meat would be eaten by her own daughter. When she thought of this, Widow Du was very happy. "Yuanyuan, since Wang Zhiqing is such an outstanding young man, he likes you and wants to be your revolutionary partner.
Mother is naturally happy to see this happen. And mother tells you that before the news of Wang Zhiqing not having a fiancée gets out, you'd better strike while the iron is hot and ask Wang Zhiqing to find a matchmaker to come to our house as soon as possible. We should settle this matter as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the news gets out, there will be many troubles. I'm afraid that some young girls in the village will secretly make trouble.
Don't underestimate the means of these little girls in our village. They can use any means possible.
When your good marriage is destroyed, you won’t be able to cry even if you want to.”
Zhang Yuanyuan usually listens to gossip with her mother at home, so she naturally knows how dirty the tricks of some old ladies in her village are.
She didn't want her satisfied man to be robbed by someone else, so Zhang Yuanyuan said firmly: "I know, mother, I will go and talk to Brother Yuan Chao tomorrow and ask him to find a matchmaker to come and settle our affairs.
But mother, who would be the best person for Brother Yuan Chao to find? "
Widow Du thought about it and fell into deep thought. After a while, Widow Du spoke up, "There are three matchmakers in our village, but their reputations are not very good. They have all married off good girls for money. So you have to let me think about this matter and decide who is more suitable. Don't let the whole Red Flag Brigade know about your affair with Wang Zhiqing before things are settled."
Zhang Yuanyuan sat on the bench with a worried look on her face. Although she was very anxious, she knew that it was useless to be anxious because her brother who came to Korea to help was so popular.
After Wang Yuanchao locked his door, he strolled to Lin Laoer's house.
"Sister-in-law Wang Hua, are you home?"
"At home, Yuan Chao, come in."
Wang Yuanchao pushed open the gate of Lin Laoer's house and walked inside. He found Wang Hua just coming out of the kitchen with a bowl. It turned out that Wang Hua's family was having dinner.
Wang Yuanchao now has a very good relationship with Wang Hua's family, and they talk casually, so Wang Yuanchao directly said: "Sister-in-law, I came here today mainly to ask you for help."
Wang Hua looked at Wang Yuanchao curiously. Her husband knew this younger brother. In Wang Hua's opinion, he was a capable man. She never thought that there would be a day when he would ask her for help. So Wang Hua said with a smile:
"Yuan Chao, if you have any problem, just tell me. If I can do it, then it's fine."
Wang Yuanchao was a seasoned man who had no idea what shyness was. He smiled and said:
"Sister-in-law, this is what happened. I've fallen in love with Zhang Yuanyuan, the statistician at our poultry breeding base.
I confessed my feelings to her today, and she agreed, so today I came to you to be a matchmaker and help me go to Zhang Yuanyuan's house and talk to her mother about marriage."
Wang Hua first congratulated Wang Yuanchao in surprise, then came to his senses and asked, "Yuanchao, don't you have a fiancée at home? Why are you planning to marry Zhang Yuanyuan now? Will there be any problems?"
Wang Yuanchao looked at Wang Hua's caring eyes and felt warm in his heart. It seemed that his efforts during this period were not in vain.
So he said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I don't have a fiancée at home. It's just that when I first arrived at the commune, many aunties and grandmas introduced me to potential partners every day, which annoyed me so much that I couldn't live a normal life.
So I said I already have a fiancée and I wouldn’t consider girls from the Red Flag Brigade, hehe.”
When Wang Hua heard this, he laughed, rolled his eyes at Wang Yuanchao, and said, "You, if you don't want to find one, then don't. How can you say that you already have a fiancée?
You were really not afraid of not being able to find a wife in the future."
"Hey, sister-in-law, I have already found a wife that I am satisfied with. After all, the woman I marry is the one I will spend my whole life with. My idea at that time was very simple, that is, I must find a wife that I am satisfied with.
I will never allow myself to marry a woman I don't like just to make do or to avoid offending others. That kind of life is a sin."
After hearing what Wang Yuanchao said, Wang Hua nodded in agreement and said:
"Okay, I'll be the matchmaker. Tomorrow during lunch break, I'll go talk to Widow Du about this. You have such good conditions, there's no one else like you in this area.
I believe Widow Du will not refuse. Prepare the things and gifts for the visit and wait for my message."
