The old man was very happy.

Who knew that he not only supported himself, but also married a good wife and expanded his family.

Matchmaker Chu was so angry that her teeth itched.

Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "My husband went to the capital to do business and will be back in a few days."

The third prince has been back to the capital for a while. It is estimated that when Zhou Ruiyuan comes back, he will come back with him.

Matchmaker Chu smiled and said, "Don't lie. I think you hired that man. Now he has taken the money and will never come back."

Mrs. Zhou's jaw dropped when she heard this. "Mrs. Chu, who would hire a husband?"

Although the Third Prince was not her real husband, it was a bit absurd to hire a husband.

Matchmaker Chu smiled as if she was going to see through Mrs. Zhou. "If he was not hired, why didn't I see him at home? Whose man is not at home for several months?"

Mrs. Zhou was too lazy to talk nonsense with her and turned to leave.

Matchmaker Chu stopped her and said, "Sister Zhou, don't say I didn't tell you about my marriage. There is a family here whose son is a newly appointed county magistrate. Although he is a little older, he is just right for a widow like you."

Mrs. Zhou paused, "You mean the newly appointed county magistrate?"

She had heard from County Magistrate Li that after he became the prefect of Qingzhou Prefecture, a new county magistrate took office. Could it be the person that Matchmaker Chu mentioned?

The family Matchmaker Chu mentioned was named Quan. There was indeed a son who was an official in the family. He was originally going to be arranged to be the county magistrate of Cheng'an County, but he was dismissed from his post because of corruption and bribery. Now Zhou Ruiyuan appointed him to this position.

Changliu Village should not be well-informed, so no one knows yet.

This old man Quan is now old and in poor health. He wants to find a woman to marry in.

An old man in his seventies or eighties, who will not live for many days, which girl dares to marry in?

Matchmaker Chu deliberately set a trap for Aunt Zhou to fall into, and she just happened to find no one to take care of the marriage.

She heard Aunt Zhou stop, and thought she was interested, so she chased after her and said with a smile: "How is it? How about this marriage?"

Aunt Zhou clenched the basket in her hand, turned around and scolded: "If you think this marriage is good, just marry it yourself!"

Matchmaker Chu was stunned, and when she reacted, Aunt Zhou had already left.

Aunt Zhou walked quickly to the house and said to Du Wanchun: "Wanchun, I know who the new county magistrate is?"

Du Wanchun asked: "Who is it?"

Aunt Zhou quickly said: "It's the eldest son of the Jiangliu family."

After hearing this, Du Wanchun smiled and said: "Mother, why are you so anxious?"

Aunt Zhou covered her chest and said: "I always feel a little uneasy when I heard this news."

Du Wanchun comforted her and said: "Don't worry, even if the county magistrate is not good, there is still the prefect above him. Would he dare to offend the prefect?"

Aunt Zhou relaxed a little.

Not long after, Matchmaker Chu actually found Aunt Zhou's house, "Sister Zhou, what do you think about this marriage?"

Du Wanchun heard it and asked hurriedly, "What marriage?"

Matchmaker Chu replied, "It's the father of the county magistrate. He wants to marry your mother for good luck."

Du Wanchun smiled and said, "Mammy, my father is still alive, why should I marry my mother?"

Matchmaker Chu raised her eyebrows and said with a proud look, "That's the county magistrate's family. It's your blessing for a small trader like you to marry such a family."

"Blessing? Such a blessing is given to you, do you want it?" Du Wanchun smiled and retorted.

Matchmaker Chu showed displeasure on her face, "How can you talk like this, kid? He is the father of the county magistrate after all. If you don't want it, be careful that they will arrest you and put you in jail!"

"What county magistrate?"

At this time, Zhou Ruiyuan's voice suddenly came from the door.
