Farm Girl's Manor

Wu’s breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but her worries had not entirely dissipated, "Once that woman enters the family, even if she’s your step-mother, she can use filial piety to pressure you. If one day she treats you poorly, you absolutely mustn’t tolerate it, or she’ll take it as an invitation to push you further."

After Mo Yan listened, she found these words quite strange, almost as if Aunt Wu had experienced such things herself. She was curious but didn’t let it show on her face, "Aunt Wu, rest assured, I know what to do! By the way, how is Big Sister Dani’s matchmaking going? Has a suitable match been found?" Mo Yan quickly changed the subject, fearing Wu’s might say more.

Seeing that Mo Yan was reluctant to discuss it further, Wu’s didn’t want to be a nuisance and continued on the topic Mo Yan brought up, "We’ve visited a few families, and two seemed quite compatible. I’m planning to find some time to walk around those two families’ villages."

Mo Yan nodded in understanding and agreed, "That’s appropriate. Big Sister Dani should marry into a family that pleases her heart."

A matchmaker’s words could bring the dead to life, and it’s hard to really know a person based on their words alone. Visiting where the other party lives and making inquiries not only reveals their character and how they handle matters but also gives insight into their family members—an approach most suitable indeed.

Wu’s face carried a touch of bitterness, "She’s already nineteen, turning twenty this year. If we delay any longer, it’ll be hard to find someone that meets her expectations, and these two families are not as good as the ones we looked at last year."

Mo Yan, seeing this, comforted her, "Isn’t it much better that Big Sister Dani is willing to consider suitors this year compared to last year? Besides, just because the matchmaking families are wealthy doesn’t mean they’re good. Perhaps Big Sister Dani’s good fortune in marriage will be found within these two families."

Wu’s, on hearing this, visibly brightened, "You’re right. I was too demanding, hoping to pick for Big Sister Dani a family with wealth, an agreeable husband, and a kind mother-in-law. How easy is it to find such a perfect match?"

Mo Yan smiled, "These things can’t be rushed. A suitable match can always be found with time."

The two chatted about Big Sister Dani’s marriage matters until San Ni came running over to say that a matchmaker had visited their home, and Wu’s hurriedly left.
