While lying in bed at night, Xiao Li was thinking about giving Lu Yuan something, since they were getting engaged after all.

If nothing unexpected happens, this is the only time I get engaged in my life. Plus, the young man gave me shoes before, so I have to return the favor, right?

But after thinking about it over and over for half the night, he still couldn't think of what to give.

I gave him an ordinary silver bracelet bought in this era before, but he didn’t want to accept it, let alone other precious jewelry in the space?

If there is no book, you can give a watch or something like that, but it is not appropriate here. It is too conspicuous and easy to be noticed.

He can silence one or two people, but as long as he lives in this world, he can't kill people every time, right?

If they all killed each other, what would be the difference between the end of this place and the end of his original world?

No, there is a little difference.

A polluted environment is not suitable for living and planting.

One is that the environment is good but you cannot interact with others, otherwise you have to be prepared to kill people at any time.

Neither of them was what he wanted.

As the sky gradually brightened, Xiao Li sighed softly and decided to be a little tacky and give the young man some gold.

Maybe the little money-grubber would be happier if he received the gold, after all, when asked what he likes, he would say silver.

Because he didn't enter the space, Xiao Li got up at dawn to cook breakfast.

Li Jinhua woke up early in the morning and heard some noise in the kitchen. When she saw it was him, she was stunned. "Why are you up so early today?"

As she spoke, she took the wooden spatula from Xiao Li's hand and continued to stir-fry the vegetables in the pot.

"I just woke up earlier." Xiao Li didn't compete with her for this job. He sat on a stool beside the stove and watched the fire.

But it was obvious that Li Jinhua did not believe what he said. She looked at him meaningfully and laughed at him.

"Did you not sleep all night? Your grandfather was like that too. He couldn't sleep the night before he came to my house to get engaged. I only heard him mention it after we got married."

Xiao Li: "..." Can there be any more secrets?

Seeing that he remained silent, Li Jinhua knew she had guessed correctly and shook her head gently, "Don't worry, I'll go find the matchmaker after breakfast. I won't let Yuan'er get away."

However, Xiao Li's focus was on something else. "So Grandpa was afraid that you would run away, so he didn't sleep all night?"

"Bullshit!" Xiao Shugen just walked in. Upon hearing this extremely embarrassing remark, he tried to explain himself, "I just love your grandma too much!"

Li Jinhua laughed but didn't expose him.

Xiao Shugen coughed dryly, afraid of making more mistakes if he said too much, so he quickly walked out.

Xiao Li was a little curious. Would he and Lu Yuan get along like this in the future?

To be honest, it’s a little hard to imagine, but if the target is that interesting and handsome guy, it shouldn’t be too boring.

The old lady really did what she said. She went out to find the matchmaker right after breakfast, regardless of the time.

In less than an hour, she came back with the matchmaker, which left Xiao Li stunned for several seconds.

When it comes to execution, their family still has to look to the old lady.

The matchmaker's surname is Wang. She is a famous matchmaker in Sanhe Township. Of course, she gets the most money as a reward.

Matchmaker Wang was awakened by someone knocking on the door early in the morning. If Li Jinhua had not given her enough silver, she would have been very upset.

People in their line of work usually give the matchmaker a small deposit first, and then give the full amount of money as a thank-you after the deal is done.

Generally, a matchmaker would charge a deposit ranging from a dozen to several hundred coins. She would never lie when matchmaking for people like others, and all the marriages she had arranged were still going well, so the deposit she charged was much higher, at least half a tael of silver.

Li Jinhua was very generous and directly asked for a deposit of one or two taels of silver. She could even coax her own grandson into submission even after he beat her.

When Wang the matchmaker saw the tall and handsome Xiao Li wearing a black robe, her eyes lit up and she started praising him like crazy.

"Oh, this is Xiao Li, the scholar from our Yangliu Village, right? He's really handsome and has a bright future. Sister Li will be blessed in the future."

Li Jinhua didn't say anything and just listened to Wang the matchmaker continue praising people.

"I heard from Sister Li that Mr. Xiao made a lot of money writing storybooks for bookstores. That's really impressive!

There are so many scholars, but few of them can bring money home at the age of Xiao Xiucai!

Anyone who encounters this would be so lucky!

Not only can he be literate, but he can also earn money to support his family. Any young man who marries Xiao Xiucai would be in luck. No one would refuse such a good marriage unless they are foolish..."

After talking for a long time, perhaps because her mouth was dry, Matchmaker Wang finally showed signs of stopping. "By the way, I wonder which boy Mr. Xiao has his eye on?"

Because she got up much earlier than usual, she was not in the mood. At the beginning, she even forgot to ask Li Jinhua which boy she wanted to marry to Xiao Xiucai. She only remembered that she wanted to marry a boy.

Xiao Li replied, "He's the son of the second son of the Lu family in the west of the village."

"The Lu family? What's their name?"

"Lu Yuan, Brother Yuan."

Matchmaker Wang didn't react at first. She was stunned for a moment, her eyes widening. After a long while, she smiled awkwardly and said, "It's Brother Yuan! He's a hardworking guy. I'm sure many people in Sanhe Township know him. Mr. Xiao really has a unique vision!"

Obviously, every word she said was a compliment, but the look in her eyes that showed she suspected Xiao Li was blind was so obvious that it was impossible for anyone to pretend not to know.

Li Jinhua was extremely protective of her children. Upon hearing this, she smiled and said, "Isn't that right? Yuan'er is a truly wonderful young man. He's handsome, hardworking, and very sensible and filial. If Li'er could really marry such a wonderful young man, I'd wake up laughing in my dreams."

Matchmaker Wang: “…” She didn’t understand.

She said that Yuan Ge'er was well-known in Sanhe Township, and it wasn't a lie. It was just that it wasn't a good reputation, but...

The notoriety spread far and wide.
