Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 976 Matchmaker Wang

  Let's first talk about Yi Zhonghai's plan to win over the Third Uncle.

But the third uncle is also a very cunning person, he will definitely not easily believe Yi Zhonghai's words.

And the third uncle now has a more important thing to do, which is to urge Wang the matchmaker

He had entrusted Yan Jiefang's marriage to matchmaker Wang for a long time.

Matchmaker Wang didn't respond, which made Uncle San feel very depressed.

After dinner, the third uncle hummed a little tune, put his hands behind his back, and came to the courtyard next door.

The weather was getting warmer now, and the residents of the compound were all sitting under the big tree to enjoy the cool. Matchmaker Wang was also sitting there.

Seeing so many people around, Uncle Sanda felt a little embarrassed.

So he didn't bother Wang the matchmaker directly, but winked at him.

Matchmaker Wang seemed a little reluctant, but he still stood up.

  I followed the third uncle and walked to the side

At this time, the third uncle couldn't wait to ask, "Matchmaker Wang, how are you doing with the task I asked you to do?"

Matchmaker Wang smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, you know your family's situation. Ever since Yan Jiecheng got into so many troubles, everyone living nearby knows about it.

Those residents are very dissatisfied with you. Under such circumstances, how could they marry their daughters to your family?"

Hearing this, the third uncle became anxious: "Matchmaker Wang, what do you mean?

What does my son Yan Jiecheng have to do with my second son? My son Yan Jiefang is a formal worker and performs very well in the factory.

How can you accuse my second son of innocence out of thin air?"

The third uncle seemed a little excited, but matchmaker Wang was not in a hurry.

"Third uncle, I advise you not to get so excited. You are also a person who often acts as a matchmaker for others.

You should also know that the residents in the compound are not just looking at your Yan Jiefang, but your family.

  Yan Jiecheng has caused so many troubles. Will the residents think that Yan Jiefang is the same as Yan Jiecheng?

You see, even I have this thought, let alone the residents in the compound."

Hearing this, the third uncle was speechless.

He was well aware of Matchmaker Wang's concerns, which were not without reason.

Nowadays, marriage between a man and a woman is not just a matter between two people, but a matter between two families.

in particular.

  Yan Jiecheng also divorced his wife

You should know that his daughter-in-law has a very good reputation in the compound.

  It is well received by residents in the compound.

Since the divorce, the residents in the compound have been feeling sorry for his wife.

  Under such circumstances, the residents were naturally unwilling to marry their daughters to Yan Jiefang.

After realizing this, the third uncle couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

He sighed and said, "Matchmaker Wang, you watched my son Yan Jiefang grow up. He is a good boy. How could you just stand by and watch?"

Matchmaker Wang knew Yan Jiefang's personality very well. He was completely different from Yan Jiecheng. Yan Jiefang was a very honest person.

And also very serious

So Matchmaker Wang also wanted to help Yan Jiefang. He thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I do have a suitable partner.

But it would be hard to convince the subject’s parents.”

"Who is that girl? Just tell me her name and you can rest assured. You should know that I am an old teacher. I have the best mouth. I can convince even the most difficult people."

Matchmaker Wang smiled and said, "That's Xiaodang from Qin Huairu's family. You may not know this yet, but Xiaodang is now a formal worker in the textile factory.

He is also old enough to get married, about the same age as your Yan Jiefang

"

At this time, the third uncle slapped his head suddenly. How could he forget about Xiaodang?

  In those days, the workers in the textile factory had high wages and good benefits, and Xiaodang was a pretty good girl.

On weekdays, Xiao Dang never interfered with the affairs of the compound.

Just like Xiaodang is not a member of the compound

After thinking about it carefully, the third uncle decided that Xiaodang was indeed suitable.

Of course he knew it very well.

It is very difficult to get Xiaodang to marry Yan Jiefang, but the third uncle is unwilling to give up.

The third uncle took out fifty cents from his pocket and handed it to Matchmaker Wang: "Matchmaker Wang, I have to trouble you again. Please go to Qin Huairu's house to propose marriage for my son. I know the rules. Please accept this money first.

When Xiaodang and Yan Jiefang get married, I will give you the remaining money."

Generally speaking, things like Wang the Matchmaker need to collect money in advance, but the third uncle actually chose to pay in installments.

  This made Wang Matchmaker feel a little uncomfortable.

But Matchmaker Wang also knew very well that the Third Master was just that kind of person.

  There is absolutely no need for him to argue with the Third Uncle at this time.

So

Matchmaker Wang nodded and agreed, "Sir, I can agree to your request, but I have to tell you one thing in advance. Qin Huairu will definitely strongly object.

I am not sure whether it will be successful, I hope you can be mentally prepared enough."

The third uncle was also aware of these situations: "Don't worry, matchmaker Wang, as long as you help me propose marriage, I will thank you whether it is successful or not."

Seeing that the Third Master was so reasonable, Matchmaker Wang was relieved.

The next morning, after having breakfast, Matchmaker Wang headed towards the courtyard.

Matchmaker Wang is considered a celebrity in the compound because she often matches residents with each other.

When the residents saw Wang the Matchmaker coming over, they all greeted him and asked, "Matchmaker Wang, what's up? Which girl or boy are you matchmaking for today?"

If it were at this time in the past, Matchmaker Wang would have already told everything.

But today's matter is too difficult, even an experienced matchmaker like Wang has no idea.

So Matchmaker Wang did not answer those people directly, but laughed.

Just because Matchmaker Wang didn't tell the story doesn't mean that the residents don't understand the reason. It's very simple.

  When the residents saw Matchmaker Wang walking towards Qin Huairu's home, they immediately understood.

"It seems that this time Matchmaker Wang is going to matchmake for Qin Huairu's family."

"This is a bit strange. Could it be that Qin Huairu wants to get married?"

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, Shazhu is watching us.

  How could Qin Huairu get married in this situation?

It must be either Xiaodang or Xiaohuahua."

"I think it should be Xiaodang. That girl Xiaohuahua is becoming more and more outrageous now.

Recently I often saw him arguing with those young guys on the street.

Now everyone in our neighborhood knows it.

His style is rather chaotic. Under such circumstances, how could anyone propose marriage to Xiao Huaihua?

"

I have to say that the people have sharp eyes.

It only took a short while for him to figure out everything.

  Qin Huairu had just finished his meal at this time. He was a little hesitant now, wondering whether he should go to work.

In Qin Huairu's opinion, being a temporary worker in a workshop.

  I can only get more than ten yuan a month, which is really not cost-effective.

But if they don't go to work, what will they eat and drink?

Of course, Xiao Dang has already started working, because working in a textile factory earns more than 30 yuan a month.

Qin Huairu has always wanted Xiaodang to give him his salary.

But Xiaodang was very smart and ignored Qin Huairu.

Because Xiaodang worked in a textile factory, Qin Huairu couldn't just break into the factory and ask for his salary, so he could only give up.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Qin Huairu looked up and saw that the person standing outside was Matchmaker Wang. He was slightly stunned.

"Matchmaker Wang, what are you doing in our house?"

  As soon as she said this, Qin Huairu realized that she had made a stupid mistake.

The reason is very simple, Wang the Matchmaker herself is a matchmaker.

  But when he appeared here, he was naturally here to help people find a match.

Qin Huairu quickly stood up and welcomed Wang the matchmaker in.

"Matchmaker Wang, are you going to matchmake my little Sophora japonica?

  Don't worry, my little Huaihua is a good girl.

Although he is a little naughty now, once he gets married, he will definitely be a good wife and a good mother. You don't have to worry about this."

Qin Huairu has been worried about Xiao Huaihua's marriage for a while.

Xiao Huaihua has been making trouble on the streets all day long, and now his reputation is getting worse and worse, as you can imagine.

As time goes by, it will become increasingly difficult for Xiaohuahua to find a partner.

  So Qin Huairu would not give up any opportunity to promote the small locust flowers.

When matchmaker Wang heard what Qin Huairu said, she smiled awkwardly at him and said, "Qin Huairu, you misunderstood. I didn't come here today because of your little Sophora japonica. I wanted to bring someone to propose to your eldest daughter, Xiaodang."

When Qin Huairu heard that she was going to help Xiaodang find a date, her mood immediately sank to the bottom.

Now Xiaodang has a job and can earn a lot of salary every month, so Qin Huairu does not want to just leave and marry Xiaodang off.

But Qin Huairu also knew very well that even if Xiaodang stayed in their house, Xiaodang would not give him his salary.

This way.

  It would be better to marry Xiaodang off and ask for more betrothal gifts.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu immediately became energetic.

At this time, Jia Zhang heard the noise outside and walked out of the house. He saw Matchmaker Wang talking to Qin Huairu in the house and thought that Matchmaker Wang was going to introduce a partner to Qin Huairu.

Jia Zhang's face suddenly darkened.

"Matchmaker Wang, what are you doing here? This is not your home, nor is it your compound. Get out right now, or else, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Jia Zhang scolded matchmaker Wang without giving any explanation.

Matchmaker Wang has been a matchmaker for many years and has seen all kinds of people, so she was not angry.

Qin Huairu was still counting on Wang the matchmaker to introduce a date to Xiaodang, so he quickly stopped Wang the matchmaker and said with a smile, "Jia Zhang, you misunderstood. Wang the matchmaker came here today to introduce a date to Xiaodang."

"

Hearing this, Jia Zhang suddenly became interested. The reason was simple. He had long disliked Xiao Dang and had wanted to marry her off, but he had never had the chance.

After realizing this, Jia Zhang immediately took matchmaker Wang's arm and sat down, poured him a cup of tea, and asked impatiently: "Sister Wang, we have known each other for so many years, and Xiaodang is like my own daughter. What's the matter? Now you must help Xiaodang find a good family."

  Matchmaker Wang nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I have long regarded Xiaodang as my own daughter. The person I introduced to him this time not only has a formal job, but also treats people very well.

And he is a formal worker, very young and promising. As long as Xiaodang marries him, she will only have to wait for a good life.

"

After hearing what Wang the matchmaker said, Jia Zhang did not continue to ask about the conditions of the man's family, but asked directly: "Wang the matchmaker, you have said so much, the most important thing now is how much dowry that family can give me?"

Hearing this, Matchmaker Wang was stunned for a moment.

Because there was almost no dowry in those days.

There is a betrothal gift, but it’s only three or five dollars.

Now Jia Zhang is like this, it is obvious that she is going to ask for too much.

Matchmaker Wang reminded her cryptically, "Ms. Jia Zhang, our street office is advocating new things in new ways.

We are asked not to ask for a dowry.

If you insist on asking for a betrothal gift, and the leaders in the street office find out, they will definitely criticize you."

Hearing what matchmaker Wang said, Jia Zhang suddenly laughed out loud.

"Matchmaker Wang, you are an old matchmaker, how is it possible?

  You don't even understand this kind of rule. Although the street office stipulates that you cannot ask for a betrothal gift, the rules are dead and people are alive. We can completely circumvent this rule in other ways.

For example, buy two more radios

Or buy two more TVs.

The man's family sends these things over first, and we sell them directly, which is equivalent to the betrothal gift, right?"

After hearing what Jia Zhang said, Matchmaker Wang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

He didn't expect Jia Zhang's appetite to be so big.

You should know that a radio costs more than one hundred yuan and a TV costs more than two hundred yuan.

Nowadays, even if a bride price is required, it is only three or five dollars.

  Jia Zhang asked for hundreds of dollars. Who can bear this?

"Ms. Jia Zhang, I'll tell you the truth. No matter how rich someone is, they can't possibly offer such a high gift.

So, I hope you can put these little thoughts aside for now."

  Jia Zhang didn't expect that her opinion would be rejected.

He hurriedly shouted: "My Xiaodang is a formal worker, and he is so beautiful.

  What's wrong with our family asking for a little gift? Is it against the law?

Let me tell you, if you don’t bring the betrothal gift, I will never marry my little girl off.”

Qin Huairu holds the same view as Jia Zhangshi.

But he is much smarter than Jia Zhang.

  He knew very well that if he insisted on asking for a gift, he would only bring disgrace upon himself.

He can just wait until Xiaodang gets married and then find a way to borrow things from the man's family.

It is illegal to ask for a gift, but it is not illegal to borrow things.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu stopped Jia Zhang who was shouting at the top of her voice.

Qin Huairu raised her head and looked at Matchmaker Wang and said, "Matchmaker Wang, who is that family?"
