When Matchmaker Xie heard Jia Zhangshi's words, she took a deep breath, calmed down, opened the door and walked out.

She saw Jia Zhang-shi's face swollen.

"Sister Jia, what happened between you and her?”

"What's wrong with me? Hehe, matchmaker Xie, you're cheating! Deception!"

Jia Zhangshi was so angry that she wanted to rush over and grab matchmaker Xie's hair and give her a good beating.

Matchmaker Xie frowned and looked at the neighbors surrounding her. Her heart sank as she said,"Sister Jia, what are you saying? How did I cheat you?”

"Isn't that cheating? Look at the daughter-in-law you found for me. It's fine if she's ugly, but she actually dared to hit me!”

When Jia Zhang-shi said this, the surrounding neighbors immediately boiled over.

Good heavens, there was even a daughter-in-law who wanted to beat up her mother-in-law?

Seeing that there were a lot of people around to watch the show, Jia Yun was still a young man after all. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He pulled on Raja Zhang's clothes and said,"Mom, forget it. Let's go back first.”

" Forget it!?"

Jia Zhangshi waved her hand and glared at her son Jia Yun,""Do you really want to spend the rest of your life with that hag?”

Live a lifetime?

Thinking of spending the rest of his life with that Qin girl, Jia Yun shook his head. What a joke. He was about to throw up just by looking at her. How could he spend the rest of his life with her?

"As the saying goes, one shouldn't wash one's dirty linen in public. But since she's shameless, I'm shameless too.”

"Since all the neighbors are here, I'll expose matchmaker Xie's fraud!”

"Everyone knows that Matchmaker Xie is in the matchmaking industry. My son has also reached the age of marriage, so I asked Matchmaker Xie to help see if there are any suitable girls for him.”

"In order to find a good wife for my son, I gave matchmaker Xie 50 yuan!”

When they heard that matchmaker Xie would be given 50 yuan, the onlookers instantly boiled over.

"Oh my god, so much money?"

"Fifty yuan is equivalent to my salary for three months.”

"Do you need so much money to find a wife now? What about me? Wouldn't he be a bachelor for the rest of his life?”

“……”

Seeing that everyone was talking about the fifty yuan, Jia Zhangshi struck while the iron was hot and said,""Tell me, after spending so much money, I definitely wanted to find a beautiful and capable woman for my son, but she thanked the matchmaker for finding me…"

"Jia Zhangshi!"

" You told me to find an honest and capable woman for our son," Matchmaker Xie interrupted suddenly." You didn't say anything about a beautiful woman."”

" This..." Jia Zhang-shi was stunned. She thought about it and realized that she really didn't say it back then. But what was wrong with not saying it?

"Yes, I didn't say it back then, but you can't lie to me!”

"First, I found a beautiful girl and said that she would be my son's daughter-in-law. However, on the night of the wedding, I got a woman who was uglier than a hag.”

The more Jia Zhang-shi spoke, the angrier she got. She gave all her hatred towards Qin Da Niu to matchmaker Xie.

"Hag? Oh my god, how ugly is this?"

"So what if it's ugly? As long as it's a woman, I want it even if it's ugly.”

"Isn't that so? It's not like we're from a rich family.”

“……”

Matchmaker Xie glanced at the neighbors who were watching the show and said calmly,"Jia Zhang-shi, didn't I tell you that I would find an honest and capable girl for your Jia Yun?”

"That's right!" Jia Zhangshi nodded.

"That's why the Qin girl I found for you is famous for being capable. She's even better at farm work than men.”

"Besides, you said that I cheated, but I didn't say that the girl from before would definitely marry your Jia Yun, right?”

"How can you blame me for not liking your son?”

"I found you a new one. It's fine if you don't appreciate it, but why did you come to my house to cause trouble?”

What did matchmaker Xie do? It was a matchmaker!

To be able to describe the ugly as capable, to describe the poor as a clean stream for generations.

How could Jia Zhang-shi compare to such a matchmaker who could answer?

With just a few words, Jia Zhangshi was rendered speechless.

"Then you have to return the money!" Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Jia Zhangshi directly told him the purpose of her trip.

"That won't do. I've already spent the money.”

"Spent it? You spent a hundred yuan!”

"How can I have 100 yuan? You only gave me 80 yuan, right?”

Matchmaker Xie opened her fingers and said,"

"Twenty yuan is for the bride's family. I'm the one who paid for the travel expenses, the girl's clothes, and the food. Do I have to pay for it?”

"I don't care. You have to return it!”Jia Zhang-shi's embarrassment turned into anger and she no longer cared about anything else.

"I won't return it!" Matchmaker Xie said in a ruthless tone.

Actually, if Jia Zhang-shi had spoken nicely, Matchmaker Xie would have returned the money. After all, she was the one who had changed the crown prince.

But now that there were so many neighbors around, if she were to repay the matchmaker, who would ask her to find a wife in the future? If they were not doing well, would they come and ask for money?

"You…you, you damn matchmaker!”

Jia Zhangshi finally couldn't hold it in anymore. She was so angry that she rushed over and grabbed Matchmaker Xie's hair.

Matchmaker Xie had been in this line of work for so long. What kind of situation had she not seen?

Wasn't it just a fight?

Then let's fight!

Matchmaker Xie immediately grabbed Jia Zhangshi's hair.

You scratch me, I'll scratch you.

After a while, the two old women began to fight.

Jia Yun wanted to step forward to help, but when he saw that there were people everywhere, he felt extremely ashamed.

Clenching his teeth, Jia Yun turned around and left.

……

……

At eight o'clock at night.

Li Wen's drunken eyes were hazy as he returned to the restaurant with Shopkeeper Qian's help.

"Shopkeeper Qian, there's no need to send me off.”Li Wen waved his hand, indicating that Shopkeeper Qian could go back.

"Well, alright then. I won't send you off, Boss Li.”

Upon seeing the restaurant, Shopkeeper Qian cupped his hands and turned to leave.

Li Wen immediately opened his eyes when he saw that the person had left.

What a joke. How could a few taels of wine make one drunk?

He was just pretending.

Standing at the entrance of the restaurant, Li Wen looked at the pitch-black night and the howling cold wind.

However, he felt a little frustrated.

At the banquet, Chen Haisheng hoped that the two of them could get married as soon as possible.

However, Li Wen was still concerned about Xu Huizhen, so he was naturally ambiguous.

In the end, he had an idea and thought of the mourning period for the death of an elder in this year.

Therefore, he came up with such an excuse, saying that he still had to observe mourning for a year.

Although Chen Haisheng felt that it was a pity, there was nothing he could do.

He couldn't possibly let her get married during the mourning period.

Chen Haisheng felt that he might not be able to hold on for another year.

In the end, it was Shopkeeper Qian who came up with an idea. If it didn't work, they could get engaged privately first. After the mourning period was over, they could have a grand wedding.

Chen Haisheng thought that this was not a bad idea. After all, he did not have much time left. If he waited for Li Wen to pass the mourning period, he would probably die long ago.

Moreover, if she could not hold on that day, her daughter, Chen Xueru, would probably have to observe filial piety.

The mourning period in the city had changed from three years to three months.

However, Chen Haisheng would not be able to see his daughter getting engaged to Li Wen.

Therefore, he decided to find an auspicious day to settle their marriage together.

Upon hearing that it was a private engagement, Li Wen gladly agreed.

If news of an engagement was spread during the mourning period, people would look down on them.

Especially men.

In this era, those who had children had to pass the mourning period before they could get married. Otherwise, they would be considered unfilial.
