A chaotic house, a perfect couple

Sure enough, after a few days, there was still no reply from the girl's side. Aunt Hao became anxious and went to ask the matchmaker, but the matchmaker was also hesitant.

Aunt Hao sensed something was wrong and began to speculate. She pressed him in a harsh tone, "Sister, tell me the truth. Will this family work out? My family isn't the kind of family that would pester you. If it doesn't work out, I'll have to find another one for Qingshu right away. Dragging it on like this isn't a solution, don't you think?"

Things have come to this point. If I still keep it a secret, I will really offend people. I still want to survive in this business, and I can't let my reputation be ruined.

So the matchmaker could only sigh and say, "Sister, I'm so sorry. I did get injured in an accident on the road when I stood you up that day, but a few days later, the girl didn't want to go back. I, I really don't have the face to tell you this."

Aunt Hao's face darkened in an instant. "You're too embarrassed to tell me, but you still have the nerve to keep dragging my family along?" Even though she had some guesses, she was still very unhappy. If you don't like it, then don't like it. Why are you deliberately dragging people along like this?

The matchmaker laughed awkwardly, "Isn't this too embarrassing to see you?"

Aunt Hao stared at her expressionlessly without saying a word.

"Hey, don't look at me like that, I have my own difficulties too!"

The matchmaker knew this was not a good idea, and she was afraid that Aunt Hao would go out and spread rumors, ruining her reputation. So she said, "To be honest, it's not that I want to delay it. It's the woman's side who asked me to deal with you vaguely first. I have no choice."

"Don't be angry. If this happened to your family, it wouldn't necessarily be a good thing. The girl fell in love with someone else on the way to the hospital, and they were so passionate about it that she didn't want to come for a blind date. But her family thought your family had better conditions, so they were a little reluctant to let her go, so they kept dragging it out..."

She felt very sad too. She was just trying to be a matchmaker, but she never expected to meet such a person.

When she sent Wu Meifang home that day, she mentioned this matter to the old couple of the Wu family, but they didn't take it seriously. They just asked her to go back and tell the man that they would go on a blind date another day, but they didn't give a specific date. She was worried at the time.

Two days later, Wu's mother came to her and asked her to hold the man over. She immediately understood what she meant.

Neither side wants to give up.

In her opinion, the Wu family members are not easy to get along with, and it is a good thing that they cannot become relatives with such people.

Aunt Hao's face darkened upon hearing this. She slammed the table and angrily exclaimed, "What the hell?! If you don't like my Qingshu, don't agree to come on a blind date. Now you agree and then do this. You want to go back on your word but you don't say so. You keep dragging my family along like this. Are you making fun of us?"

This is the truth, but Aunt Hao is still angry.

What did the Wu family think of their Qingshu? If they wanted a blind date, they could go on a blind date. If they didn't, they wouldn't. Oh, that guy over there wasn't as good as Qingshu, so they kept dragging their Qingshu along waiting for Wu Meifang to change her mind?

What beautiful things are you thinking about?

The table shook three times, and the matchmaker was startled. He quickly comforted her, "Oh, don't be angry, don't be angry."

Aunt Hao glared at the matchmaker and cursed, "The Wu family asked you to hold us back, and you really listened to them. We've known each other for so many years, and it's all in vain!"

The matchmaker smiled awkwardly. Didn't the Wu family give her the money? It was just that she couldn't say this in front of Aunt Hao. So she could only try her best to appease the irritable Aunt Hao and repeatedly promised to find a better one for free. Only then did Aunt Hao agree.

In the compound.

Upon learning that her son and Wu Meifang had already confirmed their relationship and that their feelings were getting warmer, Aunt Yan was in a very good mood. She even felt less annoyed when she saw Bai Xiaohui's face constantly in front of her.

With a smile on her face, she hummed a song while slowly washing the clothes for the whole family.

"Oh, Old Yan, you are really virtuous and capable. Look, who in our yard can compare with you? You never let your daughter-in-law touch the clothes at home. You do it all by yourself." Aunt Cao glanced at the clothes piled up in her basin and joked with a smile.

Aunt Yan raised her chin proudly and said, "They can't do that. Their clothes are not as clean as mine! My husband Qin and my sons love wearing the clothes I wash the most. When I wash clothes, my children have never complained that they are not clean."

Aunt Cao curled her lips and said perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, you are really amazing!"

I thought to myself, isn’t that what I like? I don’t have to wash clothes myself and I can wear clean clothes every day. If I ask her, she will like it too!

But Aunt Yan didn't notice the scene at all. She glanced at the few pieces of light clothes in Aunt Cao's basin with a look of contempt.

"The children are all working, so shouldn't we, as the elderly, help out a bit? It's been like this since ancient times. Those who only care about their own pleasure are selfish and will not have a good ending in the future. We can't learn from them."

Aunt Cao didn't get angry either. She smiled and said, "Oh, you can't say that. Only a fool would work hard for his son and still be blamed. Let's wait and see what happens to such a fool in the future. Old Yan, we can't learn from such a fool."

Aunt Yan's face darkened. This was a criticism of her. The food she cooked yesterday was a bit salty, so her eldest son said a few words.

But Aunt Yan didn't think it was a big deal. If she didn't have time to talk about it during the meal, how could she improve it next time? It was just that her son's voice was a little loud, so how could Aunt Cao, the chatterbox, hear it?

As the two were talking, they saw Aunt Hao coming over with a laundry basin with a gloomy face.

Aunt Yan glanced at Aunt Hao's expression, guessing something in her heart, and deliberately asked loudly:

"Hey, Old Hao, how's your Qingshu's blind date going?"

It would have been fine if she hadn't asked, but as soon as she did, Aunt Hao's face became even darker and she glared at Aunt Yan.

What's wrong with Old Yan now? He keeps bringing up irrelevant issues!

It was the same thing during the blind date a few days ago, the words he spoke were so rude!

Aunt Yan wasn't afraid of being glared at. Instead, she continued to ask, as if she was determined to get to the bottom of it. "Old Hao, what's going on? Why haven't you sent any news in so many days?"

Aunt Hao's voice was filled with anger. "Don't mention it, it's over!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the aunt and the young wife who were washing clothes nearby came over.

Even Cheng Jiajia, who was watching Aunt Cao and Aunt Yan arguing at the doorstep, pricked up her ears quietly.

She wanted to hear whether it was just as she and Yu Junsheng guessed, that Zou Qingshu was being poached?

Aunt Yan showed a hint of smile on her lips. So what if your husband is the manager of the yard? So what if he is an eighth-level worker? His son is still suppressed by his own son!

"Hey, Lao Hao, what's going on?"

"Yeah, didn't they say the girl was quite satisfied with Qingshu?"

Everyone asked repeatedly, looking very concerned.

Among them, some people really care, some are just here to watch the fun, and some are just gloating.

Aunt Hao naturally understood the temperaments of these old neighbors. But no matter what they were thinking, she still told everyone what she had heard from the matchmaker.

"Oh, that girl is not a good person. On the way to the hospital, she fell in love with a pretty boy whose background she didn't know..."

Aunt Hao's words were not pleasant to hear, she meant it on purpose.

Since the other party had done something like this to humiliate their family, why should they give her any face? Her family was not a soft persimmon that could be manipulated by others without fighting back.

Besides, if she really tried to hide it, people might think that there was something wrong with her Qingshu, so the girl changed her mind at the last minute.

Aunt Hao would never allow such a situation to happen, so she publicized Wu Meifang's heroic deeds.

Cheng Jiajia was stunned by what she heard. Although she and Yu Junsheng had some guesses, they still didn't know how Qin Ziwen had managed to intercept the woman. It turned out to be the same old story: the hero saving the damsel in distress!

Cheng Jiajia couldn't help but sigh that this trick works no matter what era!

"This is really, this girl is really not reserved. She doesn't know anything about the guy, but she just clings to him like this. What if he is a scammer?"

"I don't think that guy is a good person. He met a grown-up girl on the street and got involved with her after sending her to the hospital without knowing her very well. Why do I just don't believe it? Love at first sight can't happen so quickly, right?"

Sure enough, as soon as Aunt Hao told this story, everyone started talking about Wu Meifang and belittling the man who suddenly appeared.

"Who knows, he might just be clinging to her on purpose to live off her," Aunt Cao said, knowing her all. "Before liberation, weren't there those gigolos who specialized in deceiving women?" Her imagination was fertile. "Maybe even that accidental injury was staged."

The more she spoke, the brighter her eyes became. "Look, even if we bump into someone while walking, it's not like we're hitting them seriously. After all, we're not going as fast as bicycles or cars. How can a normal person walking or running hit someone so badly that they need to go to the hospital? Not at all. Really not."

Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up. It made sense, it made so much sense!

Even Aunt Hao thought it made a lot of sense.

An elderly woman clapped her hands excitedly, "Hey! I think this is probably the case."

Cheng Jiajia: ...Amazing Aunt Cao! You might have guessed it right!

No one noticed that ever since Aunt Hao said the word "pretty boy", Aunt Yan's face turned very ugly. Then, as she listened to them denouncing and belittling Wu Meifang and the pretty boy, her face became as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Seeing these people's words getting worse and worse, and getting closer and closer to the truth, she couldn't help but yell, "Enough! Stop it!"

Everyone was silent for a moment, looking at Aunt Yan in confusion. They didn't understand what was wrong with her.

The aunt who was yelled at looked unhappy, "No, Lao Yan, what are you doing? We are talking about that pretty boy, what does it have to do with you? You are so anxious and yelling! If someone doesn't know, they would think you know that pretty boy!"

That pretty boy is my son, what does it have to do with me?!

Bah, bah, bah, her son is not a gigolo. Her son just looks a little more gentle. How can he be a gigolo?

Aunt Yan was speechless and could only stare with her eyes wide open and gasp for breath.

Her appearance was so strange that it immediately aroused everyone's suspicion.

"No, Lao Yan, this situation is not right?"

"Could it be that this person is someone you know? Old Yan, you have to tell the truth!"

Aunt Hao looked at her suspiciously. She always felt that Aunt Yan was very strange recently.

In the past, although the relationship between the two was not particularly close, they could still talk to each other. But recently, Aunt Yan always said some strange things in front of her. It seemed that it started from the day Qingshu went on a blind date?

Aunt Hao couldn't help but wonder, could it be true, as others said, that the man was someone Aunt Yan knew?

Aunt Yan noticed everyone's suspicious gazes and her heart skipped a beat. The matter couldn't be exposed now. She could do anything after their marriage with the Wu family was finalized, but not now.

She pretended to be calm and said in surprise, "What's going on? Don't talk nonsense. I just can't stand you making random guesses about other girls. You know nothing, but you say it as if it were the truth. This is not good for the girl's reputation." She would not talk about whether she knew her or not.

Aunt Cao curled her lips and said, "The girl did something wrong. Can't we talk about it? Besides, we watched Qingshu grow up. If we don't support him, how can we support the woman who stood him up and the pretty boy? How can this be justified?" She looked down on people like Aunt Yan. They were hypocritical!
