After Zheng Dashan returned, he told his parents what Mao Gen said.

When the old lady heard that a matchmaker would come to her house tomorrow, a smile appeared on her face.

"Okay, then we'll be ready to wait for them to come tomorrow."

When Zheng Xiaoman learned the news, he was surprised that it happened so quickly.

Didn’t she just give her grandmother some advice the day before yesterday? Why did the matchmaker come to her house tomorrow?

"No, Dad, doesn't Sister Xiaoyu need to spend some time with the other person? What if you find out that your personalities are not compatible after marriage?"

Zhou Chunfeng smiled and patted her daughter, "What are you talking about? You haven't even gotten married yet, how can you two have much contact? It will make people gossip.

Besides, these two people are just living together, and their incompatible personalities won’t affect their life.”

Zheng Xiaoman couldn't help but sigh when he thought that everyone in this era had similar ideas.

What her cousin is doing is no different from a blind marriage.

If one party deliberately hides something, the other party will not find out until after marriage.

Therefore, in ancient times, getting married was like being reborn again.

Zhou Chunfeng found it extremely funny to see her daughter with a frown on her face.

"You, you are just worrying about nothing. If the family loves their daughter, they will definitely find out about the other person's character and family situation in advance.

When you grow up and get married, your father and I will definitely find out everything about each other in advance."

Zheng Xiaoman hugged her mother's waist coquettishly, "Mom, I won't get married. I will stay with you and my dad."

Zhou Chunfeng nodded her head with amusement, "When you have a lover, you won't say that anymore."

Zheng Xiaoman shook his head decisively, "That's impossible. Mom and Dad will always be the people I care about the most. No one can replace them."

Zhou Chunfeng hugged her daughter and said, "Silly girl, when you get married, your husband and your children will be the most important people to you."

Zheng Xiaoman leaned his head on her chest and said stubbornly: "No, no one is more important than my parents."

Zheng Dashan watched from the side and smiled, "Yes, Xiaoman is right."

As for that bad boy who doesn't exist yet, he is definitely not the most important person to my daughter.

Zhou Chunfeng rolled her eyes at him with amusement, saying that he was so childish even though he was an adult.

Mao Gen went to find a matchmaker in the afternoon and agreed to come and propose marriage tomorrow.

When the matchmaker heard that both parties had agreed on it, he smiled and accepted it.

They are most willing to take this kind of job, because every time they go, they will succeed, it is effortless and they can get the matchmaker fees.

The next morning, Zheng Laoer and his family came to the old house.

Boss Zheng and Ma Meihua also came, but the expressions on both of their faces were not very good.

How can this be a good thing? Their daughter is getting engaged, but they, as her parents, are the last to be notified. No one would be happy.

Moreover, when Ma Meihua heard that the family she was talking to her daughter about were the three poorest brothers in the village, she immediately stood up to object.

She was planning to marry off the two girls and get more dowry money to supplement the family. But how much dowry could she give by marrying off a poor guy?

But before she could even start making a fuss, Old Lady Zheng suppressed her with just one sentence.

"If you dare to act like a demon, I will immediately ask the eldest brother to write a letter of divorce, and then the marriage of our two children will not be decided by you either."

Ma Meihua's breath was blocked at the corner of her mouth, and she couldn't spit it out or swallow it.

She wanted to teach her daughters a lesson, but the two little girls kept following the old lady, and she couldn't find a chance to talk to them.

Ma Meihua was so angry. She had no status at all in this family.

Even these two money-losing guys don't take her seriously now.

When she thought about how the other party's family was so poor that even a mouse wouldn't want to go there, her heart ached.

If the old lady hadn't made the decision, her two girls would have been able to get at least ten taels of silver as a dowry.

By then, all the money for her son's education and marriage will be used up.

But she really didn't dare to make a fuss now, so she could only sit aside and breathe heavily.

The family didn't have to wait long before Matchmaker Wang showed up.

"Oh, sister, you are in great shape."

Matchmaker Wang was wearing a blue jacket and skirt, with her hair tied up in a bun with a silver hairpin inserted in it.

There was no rouge or powder on her face, nor any matchmaker's mole. She looked no different from the old ladies in the village.

Zheng Xiaoman had a good impression of the matchmaker. At least she was a pleasant person to look at.

The matchmaker is here today just to ask for betrothal gifts, that is, the man sent the matchmaker to ask the woman's family's wishes.

After confirming that the Zheng family was interested in marriage, the matchmaker left happily.

The marriage process here is not too complicated. Generally, if the man's family values ​​the woman, they will complete the previous etiquette.

Today is the first step of offering the betrothal gifts, and after that comes asking for the name, which means comparing the birth dates of both people to see if they are suitable for marriage.

After asking for the name, the next step is Naji, which means the man and woman get engaged.

After the engagement, the betrothal gifts have to be sent by the man to the woman's family.

Finally, the two parties set a wedding date and then wait for an auspicious day to get married.

After the matchmaker left, Ma Meihua got up with a gloomy face and left without saying a word.

But no one in the family cares about her. Today, Lijuan's eldest brother is getting married, and they have to go over to help.

Zheng Xiaoman and his parents left the old house and went directly to Lijuan's house. There were already many people in Lijuan's yard.

There are bright red "囍" characters pasted on the front door and the door of the house, making it look particularly festive.

Lijuan saw Zheng Xiaoman coming and ran towards her with a smile, "Xiaoman, you're here. Why are you so late?"

Zheng Xiaoman followed her inside and said, "Something happened at home today, so I came here right after it was done. Has your brother gone to pick up the bride?"

"Yes, I've already gone. Judging from the time, I should have just arrived at the girl's house. I'll have to wait a while before I get back."

Zheng Xiaoman asked again: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Lijuan took her hand and walked into the house. "You can help me look after the new house today. There are many children at home, and my mother is afraid that the children will not pay attention and break things in the bridal chamber."

Zheng Xiaoman thought she would be asked to help in the kitchen, but she didn't expect it to be such a job.

"Okay, I know. I will make sure that the children don't come in and make trouble."

Originally, Lijuan's mother planned to ask Zheng Xiaoman to help in the kitchen. Everyone knows that Zheng Xiaoman's cooking is delicious, and Lijuan's mother wanted to make the dishes at her banquet more delicious.

However, Lijuan rejected her proposal as soon as she made it. First, you didn't inform her in advance, and if you suddenly asked her to cook, how would she prepare anything?

Besides, there is someone in their family. Xiaoman is so old. Will she be exhausted to death cooking for so many people?

If Aunt Zheng knew about this, she would be heartbroken.
