Chapter 1361: Outtake Seven: Match Made in Heaven_3
Mother Shen truly cherished Liu Tinglan as a daughter at the moment, feeling that she was perfect in every way. She always praised her good fortune in marrying such an excellent daughter-in-law in front of others, which consequently led the other family to develop a favorable impression of the Liu Family’s daughters as well, believing that if one member of the family had been raised so well, the rest couldn’t be too far behind in quality.
"Your mother-in-law offering a bride to their family in compensation? What kind of logic is that?" Mo Yan knew who her friend was referring to, but had she not mentioned her, she would have almost forgotten about that woman she had sent off to the farm for reformation: "Given that woman’s character, not having her marry into that family is their good fortune, they dodged a bullet..."
"You’re telling me!" Liu Tinglan heartily agreed. Such a vicious, trouble-making woman would bring misfortune to any family she married into: "That woman was originally engaged, practically half a daughter-in-law to them. Even though she did wrong and we dealt with her, we should have at least informed them beforehand. We were just too angry to think of that at the time, and by the time my mother-in-law remembered, they went to apologize to that family. They didn’t say much, but they hoped my mother-in-law could arrange another matchmaking for their son to shut those gossiping mouths outside."
The demand of that family wasn’t excessive. Although the woman’s family suffered a greater loss due to the broken engagement, it was inevitable that some would speculate negatively about the man’s side. If the Shen Family intervened as matchmakers, those speculations could be avoided; even if the matchmaking failed, there would be an explanation.
There were two eligible unmarried girls in her own family; however, those girls either had pleasing dispositions but came from poor family backgrounds with parents of questionable character, or they came from decent families with reliable parents, but the girls themselves were less than ideal.
Matchmaking is something to rejoice over when done well, but if not, the mediator also shares in the misfortune. Her mother dared not readily offer either girl for marriage, fearing the potential consequences.
Having listened, Mo Yan suddenly remembered the unfortunate cousin-in-law from the Shen Family she had met last year when she was a bridesmaid for her friend—no, he was now the former cousin-in-law.
The man’s appearance was unremarkable, but he seemed gentle and composed. Given that he had been favored by the Shen Family and was on good terms with Shen Ji, his character likely didn’t pose a significant problem.
Thinking of the task entrusted to her by Mrs. Wu, Mo Yan felt her heart pounding. Big Sister Dani was kind, virtuous, and capable, also quite pretty, and would be well-suited to that man. If they could be brought together, it might just result in a perfect match!
