Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 248 The Weak Girl of the Age 55

After some people in the brigade knew that Gu Nuanyi had recovered from her illness, they immediately invited Liu the matchmaker to come to her house to propose marriage.

"Oh, Brother Gu, Sister Guo, there is a big happy event coming to your house!" The smile on Matchmaker Liu's face was particularly bright, making people feel happy as well.

Guo Zhenru put on a fake smile and looked at Matchmaker Liu: "Matchmaker Liu, please come in, dear, go make Matchmaker Liu a bowl of brown sugar water."

You can offend anyone, but the one you should never offend is the matchmaker.

Unless your child doesn't want to rely on matchmakers to arrange marriages...

The matchmaker can turn a white thing into a black one, and can even make up a lot of things for you.

Therefore, every household was very polite to the matchmaker. Those who had the means would make brown sugar water, and those who didn't would add some white sugar.

Sweeten the matchmaker's mouth so that she can say something nice!!!

Matchmaker Liu felt that she was valued, and the smile on her face became even brighter: "This is warmth! You are getting more and more beautiful, so handsome! Your complexion is much better too, life is really getting better and better!!"

Hearing Liu the matchmaker praising Gu Nuanyi, Guo Zhenru's smile became more sincere: "Thanks for your good words!"

Matchmaker Liu took a sip from the enamel pot and said, "Sister Guo, you know Qian Sheng from our team, right? I'm here today on behalf of the Qian family to match Nuanyi and Qian Sheng. You all know the situation of the Qian family. Nuanyi will definitely not suffer at all if she marries him, and Qian Sheng's looks are a perfect match for Nuanyi!!"

The smile on Guo Zhenru's face faded a bit: "Matchmaker Liu, I'll tell you the truth, my little darling won't get married, and we're planning to find a son-in-law for him."

"Looking for a son-in-law?" Matchmaker Liu was a little surprised. She didn't expect Gu Nuanyi to be so favored at home.

Matchmaker Liu thought of an excuse immediately: "Sister Guo, the Qian family and we are from the same brigade, just one is in the east and the other is in the west. If you miss your daughter, or your daughter misses home, you can come back anytime. What's the difference between this and recruiting a son-in-law? Besides, it's better to marry someone you know well than marry someone you don't know well."

"How can recruiting a son-in-law be the same as marrying a daughter? Will Qian Sheng spoil Guaibao as much as Lao Jin and I do? Will Guaibao be able to live the same life as at home without having to work or do any labor after marrying into the Qian family? Guaibao has been pampered by Lao Jin and I for 18 years. We can't bear to let Guaibao go to other families to serve that family like a slave."

Matchmaker Liu: "This... this is not like serving your parents-in-law like a slave, right? Besides, we are all in the same team. If there is anything, we can just yell and it will be over. The Qian family is also a kind family, they would not do such a thing to torture their daughter-in-law."

"They wouldn't even inform you in advance when they're looking for a daughter-in-law, right? I've had enough of serving my mother-in-law, and I don't want my daughter to go through it again. Besides, we had planned to recruit a son-in-law a long time ago. We didn't tell you before because Guaibao is in poor health. Even if we're recruiting a son-in-law, we can't harm the boy, right?"

Matchmaker Liu thought about the 10 yuan matchmaking fee that the Qian family had promised, and said again with some reluctance: "Sister Guo, if you only had Nuanyi as your daughter, it would be no problem to find a son-in-law, but you have a younger one, you have to think about this younger one as well!"

"What's the big deal? When Tianhe grows up, we will explain it to him clearly. If the wife he marries is unwilling to take care of his elder sister Nuanyi, then she can just leave the family and go her own way."

Matchmaker Liu then turned her gaze to Gu Nuanyi and said, "Nuanyi, you have an impression of Qian Sheng, right? His face is one of the most handsome in our team."

Gu Nuanyi raised the corners of her mouth with the same fake smile: "Aunt Liu, you also know that I am not in good health. Usually, except for bringing some meals to my parents, I rarely go out. I don't have any impression of the comrade Qian Sheng you mentioned. And it is better to listen to my parents about marriage. I have no objection to recruiting a son-in-law."

Matchmaker Liu was completely speechless now, and felt a little sorry for the matchmaking money that had flown away.

Guo Zhenru thought that the surrounding brigades all liked to find Liu the matchmaker when they were looking for a date, so she must be very familiar with the surrounding brigades, so she immediately shook Liu the matchmaker's hand.

Matchmaker Liu thought Guo Zhenru had changed her mind, and looked at her expectantly.

Unexpectedly, Guo Zhenru said, "Matchmaker Liu, everyone here likes to find you when they want to marry someone. You must know a lot of people. Can you find a son-in-law for Nuanyi?"

Matchmaker Liu swallowed her saliva and pulled her hand back with all her strength: "Mrs. Guo, other families want to raise sons to take care of them in their old age. They won't let their sons marry into a family unless their family is in a particularly difficult situation or they have lost both parents."

"Those who have lost both parents are perfect for marrying into the family!! If you have a suitable person, please introduce him to me!"

"Are you really not going to meet Qian Sheng? His family is really nice."

"My family is looking for a son-in-law. If we go to the Qian family to look for a son-in-law, wouldn't that delay Qian Sheng? You also said that we are in a large team and we will see each other everywhere. Don't let our good relationship become like enemies."

"Okay, then I'll help you keep an eye out for any family willing to marry into the family!"

"Thank you for your help!" Guo Zhenru politely sent Matchmaker Liu out.

Matchmaker Liu hurried to the Qian family and told them what Guo Zhenru said.

Qian's mother didn't bother to argue too much: "It doesn't matter if it doesn't work out. My son will never marry into the family. Don't bother two people with the same thing. Matchmaker Liu, please help me find some good girls from other families!"

"Hey! I know a lot of people in the team around here. I promise to give you more money to find a suitable girl!!"

When Qian Sheng came back and heard his mother say that the marriage had not been arranged, he immediately became unhappy: "Mom, I just want to marry Gu Nuanyi, I like her!!"

"What do you like about her?"

"She has a pretty face...and the food she cooks is delicious..."

Qian's mother said with a straight face: "Do you want to be a son-in-law without any dignity as a man? I raised you to this age and sent you to learn a craft, but I didn't want you to be a son-in-law in someone else's family! Do you know that being a son-in-law will be looked down upon?"

The marriage was not concluded, but both parties were polite to Liu the matchmaker.

Matchmaker Liu did not tell anyone about this.

It just so happens that Gu Jin and Guo Zhenru both wanted to avoid having to deal with two different people.

This led to many people in the team not knowing that the Gu family was planning to find a son-in-law for Gu Nuanyi.

Matchmaker Wang, Matchmaker Zhao, Matchmaker Li...

The matchmakers who came to propose marriage almost trampled down the door of the Gu family.

With the attitude of not offending anyone, Guo Zhenru received them warmly and then politely sent them away.

It's easy to get married, but it's not easy to find a son-in-law

Nowadays, many people have the idea of ​​"preferring sons over daughters". Sons in the family are precious, so how can they marry into the family?

Matchmaker Liu didn't want to introduce someone to the Gu family randomly, so the matter was put on hold.
