Rebirth at the starting point of happiness

Chapter 17 The Matchmaker Arrives

"Su Zhiqing, even though you are an educated youth, you are still a little girl after all.

To be honest, that little sister can only be a burden to you and can't help you much. She is so lonely and pitiful." The woman continued without paying attention to their expressions.

"Although you have taken refuge with your cousin, they are two families after all. It's not easy for a master to live alone, let alone a little girl like you.

It’s not that your cousin is not good enough. Carpenter Xu is well-known for his kindness and righteousness. He not only has to support his own family, but also his two nephews.

The two nephews are already adults, and getting married will be a big burden. Miss Xu Feng is also old enough to get married soon, and it would be bad for you, a distant cousin, to cause trouble to him, right?" The woman spoke of their situation like a caring person.

Seeing that Xu Feng and Su Qiuyue did not respond, the woman was not embarrassed and continued speaking.

"If you ask me, we should plan for ourselves as early as possible. You have a younger sister with you, so if not for yourself, you should do it for her, right?

According to seniority, it is not an exaggeration for you to call me aunt. You are well-known for your warm-heartedness.

It's not easy for you sisters, and someone just happened to like you, isn't this fate? ! I'm here to help you find your marriage today." The woman said, still happy to herself.

Su Qiuyue saw Xu Feng lip-syncing to the woman when she wasn't paying attention.

Matchmaker.

After knowing the identity of this woman, Su Qiuyue realized that someone was targeting her.

She is an orphan who has money to buy a house and can make a living, so it is not surprising that people are thinking about her.

However, coming to the door so soon and directly at the door shows that he is not only malicious and shameless, but also impatient.

Just as I was thinking about it, Chen Guihua spoke again.

"You need a man to live with and support your family. It's easier for you, a little girl, to be a man. Besides, it's harder to find a man as you get older. It's better to settle down early while you are young and less likely to be gossiped about. You can have a good reputation and someone to rely on. It's the best of both worlds, don't you think?"

The matchmaker can make the dead come alive again.

Just based on these words, Su Qiuyue was impressed by how shamelessness was described in such a high-sounding way.

She had expected this situation to happen, and she was not very angry, so she did not speak at the first time. She just admired the matchmaker's words.

Xu Feng couldn't listen any longer, and seeing that Su Qiuyue didn't respond, he opened his mouth and said:

"There are such kind-hearted people here. Tell us, which family they are from?" Although Xu Feng said this with a smile, his eyes were cold.

"You're right. They are indeed a kind-hearted family. They are from the ninth brigade of Shanghe Village, not far from here. They have only one son, and that child is very caring.

It’s just that my family conditions are a bit poor. If they were better, I would have found a wife long ago.

Su Zhiqing is still young, so they can settle down and date first. When they are old enough and know each other well enough, they can get married.

Otherwise, you might think that he/she will be married in a few years."

Chen Guihua talked about this with saliva flying all over her body, praising how good the man was, how honest his parents were, and so on, and she also vaguely mentioned Su Qiuyue's identity as an orphan.

"Aunt has said so much, but we still don't know who you are talking about. We can't just nod our heads blindly." Xu Feng asked patiently.

"Hey, look at my brain, my name is Zhao Dabao Nineteen, he is the nephew of Song Lianfa's wife from your brigade. We are all real relatives, we know each other well."

When talking about this, Chen Guihua's eyes flickered for a moment, and she smiled as if nothing had happened and told the man's information.

"Ah, I was wondering, how come my sister, who never leaves the house, has been noticed by people from other brigades?

It turns out that it was our team that took a fancy to it.

Auntie may not know that my sister is not even sixteen yet. I, a grown-up girl of eighteen or nineteen, haven't even gotten married yet, but someone has already arranged a marriage for my younger sister who is still a child. This is the first time I've heard of this.

I don't know if anyone in your team has taken the class, but someone from the Public Security Bureau came to our team to give a class, saying that it is illegal to marry underage, and those who arrange marriages will be arrested. "Xu Feng said politely, but the content of his words was not polite at all.

"Oh my, our 'Iron Girl' is really powerful. She won't do this. Some of what the aunt said was a bit harsh, but we have to admit that it was the fact.

If you are unhappy, it is my fault. If you want to find a partner, I have plenty of them.

Don't worry, as long as you agree, you can choose any good boy you want."

Chen Guihua was not upset by Xu Feng's sarcastic words, and continued to say with a smile, but only she knew whether the words were nice or not.

"Good boy? What? Isn't what you said today a good thing?" Xu Feng is not the kind of person who can be fooled easily. Being called an "Iron Girl" means more than just being good at work.

"Oh my god, you have such a sharp tongue. I don't mean that." Chen Guihua quickly clarified and gave Xu Feng a coquettish look.

"Besides, I've already said that we're just dating first, but I haven't said anything about getting married. You can't put that big hat on me.

Although I am a matchmaker, I am also a poor peasant and would never do anything that violates the rules." He said as if he was saying that you can't hold anything against me.

"I am young, but I am not ignorant of the rules. We have matchmakers in our team. You said that we don't even know each other, but you came directly to the door and said that you are the first one to act as a matchmaker for others.

Although we are distant relatives, we are real relatives.

My parents haven't even said anything about finding someone for my sister, so how can it be the turn of someone who hasn't even heard of it?

Besides, if anyone could step over the threshold of my sister’s house, wouldn’t she be bullied to death?

Go back and tell that family that the child is still young, and that we in the family will take care of the important events in his life when he is older.

If you want to be a matchmaker in the future, you must first inform our family in accordance with the rules. If we have a dog at home, it might bite you, and we won’t compensate you.”

That's already quite impolite.

Without waiting for Chen Guihua to speak, Su Qiuyue also opened her mouth.

"My aunt is enthusiastic, but why do I feel so sad?

Who wants to be alone and helpless? Why does it become something people talk about?

My cousin always says he feels sorry for me, but why haven’t I ever heard him despise me because I’m an orphan?

I have never eaten pork, but I have seen pigs run. Who would not first look for an adult if they are interested in dating?

Is your aunt coming to my house to bully me because I am an orphan?

I have an uncle who lives in the front and back yards. He came to my house like this. Does my aunt dislike me? If she dislikes me, why is she still trying to be a matchmaker? What's going on? Is there something going on here?

My eldest sister is here today. If she wasn't here, I wouldn't be able to explain even if I had ten mouths. I know nothing at all. Who let you in?

"Sister, I feel bad. What's wrong with me? Why is it so hard?" Su Qiuyue said and then she lay on the table and started crying.

"What? Are you bullying me? It depends on whether I will let you go or not!

Do you think we are easy to bully?

I have to go out and ask if other people do the same thing.”

Xu Feng even stood up and said bluntly.

"Hey, hey, I..."

Chen Guihua asked the two of them to speak in unison and suddenly she was unable to continue the conversation.

In fact, she just felt that a little orphan with a burden did not take Su Qiuyue seriously. Also, the matchmaker had paid a lot of money and the family also had their own ulterior motives. She wanted her to decide right away and it would be better if the person was chosen right away.

She thought it would be difficult to control a little girl without parents, but she never expected the situation to be like this.

One was crying and the other was talking. Before Chen Guihua could say anything, she heard someone coming. Feeling guilty, she quickly got up, kept saying that she didn't mean that, and left without a word.

As soon as she left, Xu Hua and his two companions came back.

"Sister, sister, we are back." Su Xinyue shouted and went into the house.

Cousin Xu Ling and I were both holding sawed-open gourd ladles in our hands.

"Are you back?" Su Qiuyue, who had been crying on the kang table, has stood up. Her eyes are not even red. Her acting just now was pure.

Xu Feng started laughing when she saw it. The younger ones didn't know what their elder sister was laughing at and didn't care. They were just busy taking care of "Da Huang"'s eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.

"We can't just let this go. Song Lianfa is well-known in the team for being difficult to get along with.

Life was very difficult and we owed food to the brigade every year.

His wife is not a good person either. She is always stealing and taking advantage of others.

I heard that her family conditions aren't good either, and she must be up to no good to find such a shameless guy.

I'll go back and tell my dad, he's always out doing work, he'll definitely know."

Look, those three are playing with the dog again, Xu Feng said to Su Qiuyue in a low voice.

"Well, I also think that we can't just let it go like this. Do you really think I'm easy to bully because I have no backing?

"Big sister, please don't get involved. After all, that person is a matchmaker, and what she says may not be good for you."

Su Qiuyue felt warm in her heart when she saw her elder sister’s protection today. The protection from her relatives was sincere and without hesitation. It felt so good to be protected.

There is always a way to solve this problem, and she doesn't want her eldest sister to stand out and have her reputation damaged.

It's obvious that the matchmaker has no bottom line, and you can't guarantee that she will spread rumors outside.

Her status as an orphan was not a good thing to begin with, and she had long anticipated that she would be targeted after buying a house.

She had never thought about getting married. Besides, in her previous life, among the three men she had met, she had never met a man who was half-decent.

She really didn't have any idea about marriage. But such idea couldn't be revealed, it was not allowed at this time.

But my cousin is different, she has her own life and her own choices.

She didn't want her cousin's reputation to be damaged and affect her future marriage.

"What are you afraid of? If someone looks down on me because of something they say, I will look down on him even more."

Xu Feng didn't care, but she couldn't go too far since she had younger brothers and sisters at home. Besides, Su Qiuyue didn't agree, so she promised not to step in.

When Xu Feng got home in the evening, she told him what happened today.

My cousin was very angry and scolded me for a long time. I definitely couldn't just let it go like this, so I agreed to find out the situation first.

Su Xinyue also heard from her sister in the evening that the child was very angry.

They started whispering to Xu Hua before going to school in the morning, and Su Qiuyue ignored them.

She is still busy making a cotton-padded jacket. Last night, her sister was so happy to put on her new cotton-padded pants.

When he went to school this morning, he said that his ankles were no longer cold.

After making the cotton jacket, I made cotton gloves and cotton shoes. She bought them, so I have to make them myself next year.

After the new cotton-padded jacket is made, the old one needs to be taken apart, the cotton inside should be fluffed out, and then the cotton pieces should be removed and made flat and fluffy again because it will be used again when the time comes.

The cotton pieces were ready and the cotton-padded jacket would be sewn soon. Just as Su Xinyue put on the new cotton-padded jacket, her cousin had also found out about the family that had taken a fancy to Su Qiuyue.

That family was in their brigade, and they were the ones who could get a number among those with poor conditions.

Their family was so poor that they couldn't even afford to marry a wife. Even my mother was married off with the gift money from my aunt's wedding.

The reason why he fell in love with Su Qiuyue was because their house had not been repaired for many years. After the winter this year, a big crack appeared on the wall. Although it was blocked with mud, it would not last long.

It must be renovated next year, otherwise it might collapse after a rain. Their family is too poor to afford it, and they will have no place to live, so they decided to turn to Su Qiuyue.

The idea came from his aunt, Song Lianfa's wife from the 17th Brigade.

Mainly because Su Qiuyue was praised at the last team meeting, she took notice of this little orphan.

I have a house and some money.

If we get married, we will have a house. Although I have a younger sister, I can raise her for a few years and give her a dowry when she gets married, so it is suitable anyway.

Besides, an orphan girl is easy to control.

As for her cousin, a distant relative, she couldn't possibly take care of his marriage when she was already busy enough taking care of her own children.

But they didn't expect Su Qiuyue and the others to react so intensely.

In the evening, the eldest cousin asked Su Qiuyue to go over. My cousin's mother was a very good person. No matter whether others were good or not, she would never say a bad word about them behind their backs.

But since this matter has come upon her, my aunt said that she couldn't just let it go like this and she had to give an explanation.

My cousin’s personality is very similar to my aunt’s. He is very narrow-minded and won’t tolerate any loss.

The next day, my aunt took Su Xinyue and Xu Hua to Song Lianfa's house.

Although my cousin’s grandmother was blind, she knew when the children in the family glared at her secretly. Xu Feng and others were hit on the head with the cane because they glared at their grandmother secretly. So the children said behind their grandmother’s back that she was not really blind.

The old lady, leaning on a cane, asked Xu Hua to lead her to Song Lianfa's house. When they were almost there, she went up and pinched the back of the neck of the two children.

There was a "click" sound when pinched, and you can tell that he was using a lot of force.

They sleep on kangs all year round here, and both adults and children are prone to getting angry and having ulcers. In fact, these are some discomforts caused by getting angry.

In order to clear the internal heat, people will use cupping and scraping. The most common method is for adults to dip their index and middle fingers in water, and pinch the back of the neck hard to produce sha to reduce the internal heat.

Sometimes you can just pinch the area where you spit, and if you are good at it you can get sha in no time.

Often when children are too naughty, their parents will ask them to cool down, but then they will go up and strangle them.

When the child heard this, he was so scared that he shrank his neck and cried loudly. You can see how much pain it was. It was really painful.

The two children were startled at first, and then they heard the old lady whisper, "Cry hard."

The two children started screaming at the top of their lungs.

It really hurts. It doesn't hurt right after the pinch, but then it feels like a burning pain and I feel an uncomfortable pain in my stomach.

As soon as the child started crying, the old lady started banging on the door of Song Lianfa's house with her cane.

Knocking and cursing.

"You're a rotten-hearted bastard! You're a vicious, wolfish little bitch!

You think our Xu family is easy to bully! How dare you target our children!

Even God can't stand this. He blames you for being poor. It's a good thing for you to be so poor that you can't even afford to eat.

Your family should be extinct! Your house should collapse! You should die a miserable death!

How could we not know what your mother's family is like?

You even dared to let the matchmaker find the child behind our back, and my child was scared to death and became sick. I will make you pay back the money with all your wealth, or we will be divorced!

Your stupid nephew deserves to be single for the rest of his life!

This conscienceless guy will be shot and have his ass rotten sooner or later!

......"

Old Mrs. Xu started swearing as soon as she opened her mouth, without repeating herself, and she was so full of energy that she didn't even need to take a breath.

Su Xinyue, who was originally crying because of the pain, was stunned by what she heard. She opened her mouth and forgot to cry.

Xu Hua cried and pulled her, and Xinyue continued crying.

She had known her grandmother's fighting ability since she was a child. She would scold her own children when they got angry, let alone others.

Her grandmother used the cane in her hand to curse and hit the target rhythmically.

It's annoying to listen to the swearing, cursing and foul language, it's hard to stand.

Even if it rains she would curse.

The old lady kept cursing and talking, and soon a lot of people came around to watch the fun.

We are all staying at home during the winter and are bored.

While the old lady was scolding, she also made the matter clear.

Song Lianfa's wife has been thinking about the Su Qiuyue sisters. She wants to marry her fifteen-year-old daughter to her nephew who is almost twenty years old.

You don't have to think too much about it. You're just thinking about taking advantage and getting a wife who is easy to control.

Now you've stirred up a hornet's nest.

After scolding Song Lianfa for a long time, no one came out. He was too guilty to come out.

They didn't expect that Carpenter Xu would support the two little girls and reveal it so openly without giving them any face.

The cursing got louder and louder. Old Mrs. Xu said that if the man didn't come out, she would go in and smash the windows. She was so old that she was determined to fight for her life!
