The fat peasant girl wants to counterattack

Chapter 35 Zhang’s grievance

Erxing and the others felt that the new Aunt Qiushi was too appealing to them. She could play with them, curse, and fight.

Yue Mingzhu is also very satisfied with Qiushi. She deliberately kept silent just now because she wanted to see Qiushi's reaction. The most important thing for a girl is to protect her master loyally. Now it seems that Qiushi is qualified and she is not needed at all. I was relieved to have dealt with these things myself.

Qiushi led the children to jump up and down in the forest, sometimes shooting pheasants with a slingshot, and sometimes competing with Erxing to climb trees. They had such a good time, and Yue Mingzhu was watching them laugh and laugh.

People's joys and sorrows are not the same. They are happy here, but Zhang's side is miserable.

Zhang felt that she was really dying.

After breaking off the engagement with Yue Mingzhu, she didn't waste a moment to go find the previous matchmaker and tell her that her son's marriage had been canceled and whether she could marry the lady from shopkeeper Yu's family.

The matchmaker was surprised and said, "Sister, you are too imaginative. The shopkeeper's daughter is something that people like us can reach. Don't ruin the reputation of this young lady with your nonsense. It will harm others." Harm yourself."

Mrs. Zhang was anxious, "Oh, didn't you say that the shopkeeper Yu from Yuemanlou asked you to come and question me? My marriage has also been cancelled, so why have you turned your back on me?"

The matchmaker immediately said: "Yes, that's what I said, but I didn't say that the woman was the lady of shopkeeper Yu's family. You can't talk nonsense. As long as you have some brains, you can't have such outrageous ideas. This Yun Ni Otherwise, even if we stand on tiptoe and step on the ladder, we can't reach it, how dare you even think about it."

"Then shopkeeper Yu is asking for whom?"

The matchmaker took a sip of tea and said slowly: "It's one of his distant nieces. The family asked him to find a good match for this niece. Your young master was pregnant with a child at a young age. When the shopkeeper asked me to recommend a candidate, I'm just thinking of your home."

Mrs. Zhang was determined not to give up. She was not shopkeeper Yu's daughter. It would be fine if her distant niece's family had good conditions. She hurriedly asked: "Can you tell me about this girl's situation in general?"

The matchmaker told Mrs. Zhang everything she knew, but she didn't hide it from her.

This girl is indeed shopkeeper Yu's distant niece. As for how far away she is, I can't tell you how far away she is. She just has a bit of a kiss.

There was a severe drought and the family could no longer survive, so the girl's family came to seek refuge with the shopkeeper.

Under the arrangement of the shopkeeper, her parents worked as waiters in the restaurant. They might not starve to death, but they would definitely have no money left.

Mrs. Zhang's heart froze after hearing this.

The girl from the country has left her hometown and is homeless, barely making ends meet, and she is an extremely distant relative to the shopkeeper. Such conditions are far inferior to those of Yue Mingzhu.

What would a girl like this be married to do, help the poor? Her family couldn't afford it.

Zhang was so angry that her eyes turned black. She felt like she was being teased, but she had no evidence. She could only grit her teeth and ask the matchmaker: "Then why didn't you make it clear in advance?"

The matchmaker was innocent, "Look what you said, your son was still involved in the marriage, and it's not certain whether he can withdraw from the marriage. If I tell you everything about the girl, but your family still can't withdraw from the marriage, that's not a bad thing, girl." It’s our honor, we can’t do such immoral things, we matchmakers also have ethics.”

The matchmaker looked like it was all your fault. She was so angry that she really wanted to fight with her, but she didn't dare. Her son hadn't said anything about their marriage yet. If she offended the matchmaker, it would be difficult for her son to say anything just because of her mouth. It's a good marriage.

I could only force myself to smile and say to the matchmaker: "Forget about this girl, she's not suitable. Please take the trouble to look for her again."

The matchmaker was a little unhappy, "I have already made an agreement with the shopkeeper Yu before, saying that you are very happy. How can you ask me to tell him like this? You are so unreasonable." Ms. Zhang almost wanted to curse. Damn it, who is not authentic?

She was afraid that she would offend shopkeeper Yu, who could ruin her son's future with just a few stumbling blocks, so she reluctantly took out twenty copper coins and said, "It's my fault. I didn't think carefully. You have worked so hard and followed shopkeeper Yu." Let’s talk about it.”

The matchmaker reluctantly agreed. She kindly advised Mrs. Zhang: "Sister, I have been a matchmaker for so many years and I have seen so many marriages. What kind of pot goes with what kind of lid? A marriage is a serious matter of being of the same family. I always think of something." Yes, don’t delay the child in the end.”

The matchmaker's words were golden words of wisdom, but to Zhang's ears it sounded like a mockery, mocking her for not knowing her own abilities and mocking her for wanting to eat swan meat.

Zhang stood up and couldn't stay any longer. She said goodbye in a hurry and left. If she kept talking, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear it.

Mrs. Zhang went home devastated. When she got home, she lay on the bed and cried.

She was afraid that the neighbors would hear and laugh at her, so she cried under the quilt, crying heartbreakingly.

This life is so difficult.

When Yue Pengfei came home from school, he heard that his mother had canceled the marriage, so he hummed and went back to the house.

To be honest, he didn't have any special feelings about whether to break off the marriage or get married. He just wanted to study hard and strive to go to high school as soon as possible. As for other things, such as money, his mother never let him worry about it, so he didn't worry about it at all. These.

If Yue Mingzhu knew his thoughts, she would definitely think that he was just a nerd who didn't know the sufferings of the world.

Mrs. Zhang was relieved and a little sad when she saw her son like this. Didn't her son ask her what wrongs she had suffered?Forget it, the most important thing is for your son to study. Don't distract your son with these trivial matters.

The biggest problem now is that the family really has no money, and even the land is gone. There is nothing to sell. If you sell it again, you will have to sell the house. But where will you live after selling the house? Obviously it is impossible to sell the house.

Her son will be handed over to the monks next month. She comes from a womanly family. Where does the money come from? She is really worried to death. The man left early, leaving her alone to support her. There is not even a person to discuss it. No.

The only solution for now is to arrange a marriage for his son. Only with the help of a wealthy maternal family can his son continue to study.

Let’s ask the people who were interested before.

The next day, Mrs. Zhang asked someone to ask.

She was originally interested in the daughter of the family that owned a small restaurant in the town. Although she was still not satisfied with it, it was better than the daughter of the butcher's family. The daughter of the poor teacher's family was also not good enough and could not provide money for her son.

But she didn't want anyone to tell her that the family that opened a small restaurant in the town didn't want to do it. The reason was that they learned that Yue Pengfei had been engaged and then broke off the engagement before, and felt that his character was not good enough and that his daughter couldn't get married. There is no need to marry into such a family.

As misfortunes never come singly, the daughter of the teacher's family also didn't want to marry her. She said it was because Zhang didn't give her a confirmation for too long, thinking that Zhang didn't want to because they had already arranged a marriage.

Now only the daughter of the butcher's family is left. This family also heard about Yue Pengfei's engagement and break-up, but their family is not that particular. Anyway, it is just an engagement, not a marriage.
