Chapter 57 - 056 has some good news.
The matchmaker Hua touched the black mole on her chin and walked out of the Tian Family’s house, her face still plastered with a smile.
She had been under a lot of pressure lately. The local tyrant, Brother Biao, wanted to marry and had asked her to arrange a match. She had gone through all the nearby villages, but honestly, unless someone was blind, given the state of his household, who would ever agree to marry off their daughter to him? Even widows or women past their prime would wet themselves in fear at the mention of his name.
Heh, but there was one family in Tian Family Village that actually agreed.
The real headache was figuring out how to negotiate this deal with both sides.
In Brother Biao’s house, a group of men was sweating profusely as they gathered in a circle to play cards. In the middle of a scorching summer afternoon, instead of napping, they were yelling and shouting in sheer chaos.
Today was different from usual. There was an extra young man serving tea and water. The young man had fair and delicate skin, completely unlike the rough, rugged village men. He looked like someone from the city.
His fair complexion rivaled that of Zhou Zheng, who had also come from the city.
The matchmaker Hua couldn’t help but give the young man an extra glance before delivering her rehearsed lines.
After hearing Hua’s words, Brother Biao spat out his cigarette and growled, "That Tian Sangsang from Tian Family Village? Black, fat, and ugly, with some mysterious kid as a son? No way am I taking her! Matchmaker Hua, what’s the meaning of this? I’m looking for a pure, never-married young woman, not some worn-out shoe that’s been through the wringer—and with a kid, no less! What kind of garbage are you pulling on me?"
Look at yourself in the mirror; someone like you wouldn’t even deserve Tian Sangsang. Matchmaker Hua muttered this silently in her heart.
