Madame Zhou's words were filled with dissatisfaction, which made the matchmaker sad.
"Aiyo, I was talking about big sister-in-law Mu Family. She told me about Zhang Family already, that your two families' children have already been privately betrothed for life, so for me to come over and propose is just a formality.
Didn't I tell you that your girl doesn't want a wedding gift? Since you don't want the betrothal gift, why are you mentioning it to me now?
You, if you want it, just say it clearly to that Zhang Family. Don't be like this, so saying the same thing again makes me feel rather troubled.
You talk about me, a matchmaker. Originally, there was a good person who talked about it, but now, I've met with this kind of situation. I don't even mind you talking so much.
When the matchmaker said these words, they were actually guessing what had happened. After all, anyone in her line of work had brains, and from Village Head's tone of voice and the fact that he did not need to give her a betrothal gift, he could deduce the identity of the two people.
Now, the Zhou family had come for the wedding gift. If this wasn't a change in the situation, then what was?
In this era, this girl's family had already lost their bodies. It was already good that the man was willing to marry her, yet he still had so many requests. Wasn't he rushing to kill his own daughter?
After the Madame Zhou heard what the matchmaker said, she was extremely furious. He never would have thought that the brat from Zhang Family would actually tell Zhang Hongyang about everything he had done.
Moreover, this matter was even known by the matchmaker, and everyone knew that there was no way out. If this matter were to be spread out, then his daughter's reputation would be ruined. Even if she were to marry, her reputation would never be washed away.
It seemed like it wouldn't be an easy task to seal this man's mouth. He would have to spend a lot of money to do so.
When she thought about it, Madame Zhou felt uncomfortable all over. It had to be known that the money she had now was extremely hard to earn, and before this, she had already agreed with the size of the Zhang Family that he would bring along with him when she came to propose.
Now, these people were so delicious. They wanted to marry someone back home for free after wiping them clean. How could there be such a logic in this world?
Moreover, her own daughter would definitely be rich in the future. No matter how she thought about it, Madame Zhou felt that it was a huge loss to be married to a brat like, for no reason at all.
I don't care what the people from the Zhang Family say to you. Since there's no betrothal gift, it's absolutely impossible for me to marry my family's little girl.
"Also, you are a matchmaker, there are some things that you shouldn't be saying. You should consider it carefully, a barefooted person is not afraid of shoes. If I hear any rumors about my family's girl outside, I will definitely get justice."
When Madame Zhou said this, his face was extremely cold, her eyes carried a cold glint, causing the matchmaker to tremble in fear. Originally, he wanted to probe out what was being said, but after hearing what was being said, she knew that what she was thinking was most likely true.
He, as a matchmaker, would work as a mediator, earning just this kind of money. If someone really corrupted her reputation, from now on, no one would look for her as a matchmaker. Then, it would be considered as over and such a thing would definitely not happen.
The matchmaker was not a person from Anyi Village, but she was also from a neighboring village. She had heard about the morals of this and this wife from Mu Family, if Madame Zhou really did do something, she would really be afraid.
After thinking about all these, the matchmaker's expression was somewhat different from before.
His tone clearly became a lot better, "Aiya, sister-in-law Mu Family, what do you mean by that? People in our line of work always know what to do and what to say should not be said that we know what we are doing.
If there were some things, we definitely wouldn't dare to hide them. However, if there aren't any things, we definitely wouldn't lie about them. Thus, Big Sis, you can rest assured.
This matchmaker is very shrewd, when the Madame Zhou heard this, she calmed down a lot, "I am relieved to hear you speak of this. Although our family's Yue'er's marriage is still to be discussed, we are currently not as close as our Yue'er is, and this is not something that I only found out this morning. I heard that someone was in town and saw our family's Wanqing talking to a man, and only then did he know that our family's Yue'er was in love.
Look, since you came today, there's no need for it. I'll look for you again, and you'll help our Wanqing girl settle the marriage so that she won't have to look for someone everyday.
If this were to spread out, it would implicate the girl's reputation. As an uncle, I want to help her before the matter spreads out.
Even though this little girl didn't know the reason why she wanted to split up the family and made a lot of money herself, she didn't give it to her grandma or grandpa to use. Even though everyone says that he has no conscience, but even I, an aunt, can't ignore her.
"Therefore, we will have to trouble you with this matter of us girls. You are one of the top matchmakers in our surrounding villages!"
When Madame Zhou finished speaking, she directly took out a bundle of money from her bosom. About thirty to forty years old, she handed it over to the matchmaker.
To be a matchmaker, she was naturally enlightened. After hearing Madame Zhou's words and looking at the money she gave him, she immediately thought of this Thursday. What was it that she wanted to do with all this?
This thirty to forty gold coins didn't seem like much, but it was still not a small amount. For people like them, who didn't even make several taels of silver per month, just by saying a few words, they could earn thirty to forty gold coins.
One had to know that in this place, thirty to forty gold coins could buy several knives of meat.
One had to know that these 1000 copper coins could be exchanged for 1 tael of silver, and 10 taels of silver could be exchanged for 1 tael of gold. One had to know that these 1000 copper coins could be exchanged for 1 tael of silver, and 10 taels of silver could be exchanged for 1 tael of gold.
After the matchmaker received the copper coins with a smile, she was overjoyed. Even the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes had become much smoother.
"Don't worry, I already know what you want me to do. However, if that girl's reputation goes bad in the future, the harm she will do to your Mu Family will have nothing to do with me."
Also, let me go to Zhang Family to talk, if they agree to the betrothal gift, then this matter is set. What if your Yue girl is implicated by that little girl, then what should we do? "
The matchmaker originally had good intentions, but when Madame Zhou heard this, the tone in her ears changed.
The Madame Zhou slowly stood up, looking at the matchmaker with slight displeasure in her eyes, "Isn't your mouth always very strong? "If someone insults my daughter, then all of you matchmakers will have to contribute. Otherwise, when the girls in Jiajia reach the appropriate age for marriage, do you think you'll have any business?"
This blatant threat suddenly made the matchmaker feel like it was a mistake to accept those tens of minutes ago. However, since she had already spoken, she had to continue.
"Alright, don't worry. I'll handle this matter. However, you have to discuss this with your leader as soon as possible. I can't let you off so easily with your Lady Yue's matter. You must at least send me a letter."
With that, the matchmaker turned around and left. Her steps were extremely fast, as if there was someone daring him to leave.
Madame Zhou watched as the matchmaker left, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly. The complacent expression on his face grew even more pronounced.
Mu Yue had already left the house long ago, so she had clearly heard the conversation between the two. However, she still felt that her mother was being a little too impatient.
"Mother, is it not good for you to speak of this matter so frankly?" "From what I see, that matchmaker doesn't seem to be a reliable person. If you say that you'll screw this over for us, then it's useless even if we know about it."
Madame Zhou looked at Mu Yue for a bit before opening her mouth again, "If I don't tell her about this matter this way, she will definitely dig a hole and ask about it. Rather than saying it when the time is right, why not just directly say it now?
Also, the thing you should be most worried about right now isn't that damned girl, but that brat from Zhang Family. Listen to what the matchmaker said today. What do you mean the two of you have already been betrothed for a lifetime? I think their Zhang Family is just trying to find a wife for free, how could there be such a good thing in the world?
Hmph, just wait and see. After your father and that damned brat return, I'll definitely let them go to the Zhang Family to demand an explanation. They actually dare to bully my daughter like this, this is truly going too far. "
When Madame Zhou said these, Mu Yue was not worried at all, because Zhang Family was after all, the village's Village Head family. Even if it could not compare to the big figures of the village, but in this small village, other than the clan elders, Village Head's words were as useful as an official old master.
So Mu Yue was very satisfied with this matter. So what if there was no betrothal gift? If she married without a betrothal gift and was able to hold that family in her hands, then wouldn't she be the one to decide everything in the village in the future?
When that time came, she would like to see just what other abilities that person still had to fight with her.
"Mother, I'm fine. Wait until Father and Big Brother return, I don't need you to let Father and Big Brother go look for Zhang Family. We have to make long-term plans for this matter."
Mu Yue's words just so happened to reach the heart of Madame Zhou. He was indeed reluctant to part with her clan members, but at the same time, she was also unwilling to part with her own daughter, who had gotten married out of grievance.
As for the girl who had lost her reputation and wholeheartedly wanted to harm him, she was currently beaming with happiness and feeling extremely pleased with herself.
She had already reached an agreement with the owner of the Mingxiang House just now. In the future, she would not only send tofu or bean sprouts, she would also send Mingxiang House s on any new menu that she researched.
The shopkeeper who asked for the Mingxiang House personally sent Wanqing away, and on the way, his mouth never stopped open. She was so happy that she couldn't even close his mouth.
"Uncle Li, what happened to you today?" He asked with a frown.
