Chapter 118 How did the rumor spread?
Matchmaker is a special profession. It is generally divided into official media and private media, and private media is divided into civil organizations and individuals. Official media are generally engaged in the business of large families, and they are registered and registered with the government.
If there is a problem with the official media, it is going to go to prison, and it may even implicate family members.
Private media is different. Big families never look for them. They are basically civilian businesses. Sometimes they also cooperate with local dental shops.
Those who can't survive, may also sell their children through the hands of folk matchmakers.
"When we went to the gate of the county government to pick up food, we met a matchmaker who asked Ayu to be a child bride..."
Mrs. Wang saw that her family didn't understand, so she repeated the incident that she had met, including the conflict with the matchmaker.
Wang Chuanman didn't wait for Mrs. Wang to finish speaking, and became anxious: "It's so abominable, how could they do that?! Is there anything wrong with you? Did you suffer? I didn't hear you when I came back!"
There were a lot of villagers who went with them at the time, but after they came back, they didn’t mention it at all, so the rest of the Lao Wang family didn’t know about it.
Actually, it was Village Chief Hu who greeted those people, saying that Xiao Ayu is still young, and it is best to hide this kind of conflict with the matchmaker.
So as not to affect Xiao Ayu's marriage in the future.
The reputation of a child is to be managed from an early age. If the reputation is accidentally damaged, it will take many years before it can be re-established. It is not easy to have a good reputation.
The other villagers also knew about this kind of thing, but they didn't talk too much.
Mrs. Wang gave Wang Chuanman a roll of eyes: "Who dares to let your old lady suffer? You think everyone is like you, but you are a fool."
On the other hand, Mrs. Liu was a little worried. They had a conflict with the matchmaker at the county office. There must be many people in the county who knew about it. Will they spread the story about Ayu?
Although Liu never thought that Ayu would marry someone from the county town in the future, but if it ruined Ayu's reputation, it would definitely have a great impact in the future.
Feng Shi was even more anxious: "Mother, what should I do! Dalang can't delay, he is the eldest son and eldest grandson of our family, if there is a problem with his marriage, other younger brothers and sisters in the future will also have to do so. influenced."
The in-laws look at not only the conditions of your family, but also the character of each family in your family.
It can be said that if there is a corrupt person in a family, the marriage of the whole family may be affected.
Maybe you could have married a wealthy family, but because other relatives have problems with marriage, this person can only marry a useless poor man.
Dalang didn't realize the importance of this matter, he just said: "Could it be that the matchmaker who told us the matchmaker is the same person as the matchmaker in the county town?"
The big deal is that they will find another matchmaker.
Feng shook his head: "It's not that simple, matchmakers and matchmakers are all connected to each other."
Generally speaking, offending a matchmaker means offending all the matchmakers around.
Unless all of these matchmakers are dead, or the occasional one or two misfits, their marriage will definitely be affected.
In this year, marriage is about the life of the parents, and the words of the matchmaker are indispensable.
Even if the old Wang family can find a good wife for Dalang by themselves, but without a matchmaker to protect it, it is absolutely impossible. The matchmaker cannot jump at this step.
Once there is no matchmaker's words, others will say that you are a matchmaker, and your children will not be able to hold their heads up.
Lao Wang's family is going to take the imperial examination. If someone finds out about this and there is no matchmaker's advice, then don't even think about continuing the examination.
"Back then, your fourth uncle was because you offended the matchmaker..." Feng shi was anxious and almost told a story from the past.
Mrs. Wang glanced at her, and Feng Shi suddenly looked like a **** strangled by his neck, unable to utter a word.
In front of the child, these words really cannot be said.
The reputation of their old Wang family is not bad in Hujia Village, because the folk customs of the whole village are not bad, but once they leave Hujia Village, they can spread everything outside.
This is because when they came here to take root, they unintentionally offended the matchmaker. At that time, it happened that Wang Chuangui wanted to talk to him.
Mrs. Wang bowed her head with a calm attitude.
Later, when Wang Chuanman talked about the marriage, he offended a matchmaker again, but it was not their family's fault.
The matchmaker is also a stingy, taking advantage of the time to go matchmaking, she can say as much about the affairs of the old Wang family as possible.
They say that they are poor, hungry and mischievous. They are a group of robbers from outside, occupying the land of other people’s Hujia Village, bullying every day, one bullying that other.
is said to have killed people.
As a result, Wang Chuanman's reputation was completely ruined outside, and even the notoriety of Mrs. Wang spread.
In addition, some people took a fancy to Wang Chuanman's character, and some did not believe what the matchmaker said, and planned to come and see it in person.
At that time, Aunt Hu and Mrs. Wang had a big fight. The man came over and asked Aunt Hu, "How is the family of Lao Wang?"
Aunt Hu was in a fit of rage, and she immediately started talking nonsense, making Madam Wang an old godly woman who was in heaven and earth.
said that she was not good to anyone, and that she couldn't get along with the villagers. She held a broom every day and beat this and that.
When the family heard this, it was okay, so they went back immediately.
They were adding fuel to the story, you passed me, I passed you, and the matchmaker was interfering with it, and later they became the old Wang family who killed several daughters-in-law.
Why is the old Wang family poor? Why all the grandchildren?
It was because the old pious woman forced her daughter-in-law to have children, and she also had to give birth to grandchildren. All the granddaughters were drowned, and the grandsons were left behind.
Several daughters-in-law were tortured to death, and the Lao Wang family had to lose money.
There are also some people who have an idea, thinking about marrying their own daughter, and then going to blackmail the money when the daughter dies.
But the matchmaker said that the old Wang family wanted a dowry of ten taels of silver, and they all called the old lady Wang a black heart.
This delay caused Wang Chuanman to live from 16 years old to 20 years old. The old Wang family was so anxious, but it was like that outside, and there was no way to clean it up.
Suddenly one day, a little girl came to Hujia Village, tremblingly found Mrs. Wang, and said to Mrs. Wang, "Our family is very poor, we can't afford a dowry of ten taels, and we have no dowry. I will marry your family. Daughter-in-law, if I die in the future, and don't corrupt your family's money, how much dowry can you give?"
Mrs. Wang had long held no hope for Wang Chuanman's marriage, and said angrily: "Fuck! Give 10 catties of food and you will be in the sky!"
Unexpectedly, the little girl's eyes lit up and she said with courage, "Then, I will marry your family!"
This little girl was Liu Shi who was 18 years old at the time.
Now, Lao Wang's family is talking about the stall of the pro, and offended a matchmaker again.
The people of the old Wang family are a little desperate.
Is their family fighting with the matchmaker?
