Chapter 1099 - 1098: Twins? 1
Wang Daniu, hearing this, had nothing to say.
A girl’s youth cannot afford delay, whereas outstanding male comrades, no matter how old they get, indeed never have trouble finding a wife.
Guan Cheng was only twenty by the nominal age, while Wu Lijuan and Wang Lingzhi, like him, started school late and didn’t skip grades like Guan Cheng did; hence, they were already twenty-two years old, which, by current standards, made them considered old maids who really couldn’t afford to wait any longer.
Wang Daniu arrived full of confidence but left full of disappointment.
The difference was that Wu Lijuan was relatively smart. Even if Feng Qingxue rejected the marital proposal, she did not, like Wang Lingzhi, lose her wits and do some unreasonable things.
After Feng Qingxue declined Wang Daniu’s matchmaking attempt, she mentioned it to Guan Cheng and then stopped paying any attention to Wu Lijuan.
The Wanglou Brigade was too busy to handle all its work— who had the time to spare? It was rumored, however, that Wang Lingzhi’s mother had made a scene with Wu Lijuan.
