Chapter 447 - 308: Caring for Her
Mrs. Li, who was usually so gentle and never got angry or fought with anyone, was often very forbearing towards others.
Had her daughters not beaten the matchmaker with sticks, given her temperament, she might have just scolded the matchmaker and told her to go back and stop discussing the matter.
When her daughters took action, she, as their mother, could no longer hold back her anger and was quite unreserved in hitting back.
Mrs. Lai, who hadn’t heard clearly what they were talking about in the courtyard, only saw her granddaughters beating the matchmaker with sticks, then saw her daughter-in-law hitting the matchmaker. The pent-up frustration and anger of the last two days made her irresistibly joyful and relieved, her chubby hands clapping:
"Hit her, hit her, scare her so much she never dares to come back to arrange another match."
Matchmaker Zhang, having just been chased by Mrs. Lai in the yard without getting hit, thought only someone as rough as Mrs. Lai would act in such a manner.
Mrs. Li’s character was well known in the village, she was absolutely not someone who would resort to violence when angry, and she hadn’t expected such bad luck today, being hit first by her own daughters and then by the female homeowner.
Matchmaker Zhang had been matchmaking for so many years, but had never encountered such misfortune.
Other families would simply verbally decline, or at worst throw a few sarcastic remarks, but getting physically beaten was a first.
Matchmaker Zhang felt that earning money was not as precious as life, her husband earned a good wage working for the Ye family, and she thought this matchmaking job would be a good opportunity. Little did she know, it was a trap.
