"This? Little comrade! Have you taken a fancy to Qin Huiru?"
Aunt Liu jumped when she heard Qin Huairu's name.
"Yes, my father said that in the second workshop, Master Guo's Aunt Wang is from the Qin family village. A few days ago, she asked my father to matchmake us.”
"My father is a careless person who doesn't care about me. At that time, he didn't agree. He said that I was still young and let me do as I pleased.”
"I heard earlier that you seemed to specialize in matchmaking for others, so I wanted to ask you to find out more about Qin Huairu!”
He Yuzhu pretended to be shy.
Master Guo from the second workshop? Oh, Big Pie Guo's wife!
After hearing He Yuzhu's words, Aunt Liu began to grumble in her heart. The Guo family's daughter-in-law, Old Madam Wang, was also a matchmaker. She also knew that the two of them often had conflicts over business.
This He Yuzhu is handsome and has a good family background. He's much better than the Old Merchant's family. If Old Madam Wang goes to the Qin family to propose marriage, I definitely won't be able to compete with them!
It wasn't a big deal to lose a business deal. If word got out that the person Matchmaker Wang had was better than the one he had, then the number of people she would introduce to would definitely be more than his!
No! He couldn't let Old Madam Wang snatch it!
"Nephew! You heard from your aunt that Qin Huairu comes from a village and has an older brother and two younger brothers. She's not worthy of you!”
"Besides, I've already introduced Qin Huairu to the Old Merchant's family. They're just short of meeting each other to prepare for the engagement.”
"Old Madam Wang wants to introduce her to you. You can ask your aunt to introduce her to you. How good would it be if your aunt introduced you to someone who has a job in the city?”
Seeing that Auntie Liu had even changed the way she addressed him, He Yuzhu knew that he had achieved his goal by saying that on purpose.
"What is it? Old Merchant's house? When did this happen? Auntie Wang was the one who told me first!”
"What right does this Old Jia family have to compete with me? Just because he earned more than ten yuan a month and raised a sick mother? How dare he introduce a girl to me first?”
"No! I'll go back and look for my father now. I'll get him to look for Auntie Wang now. Even if this Qin Huairu doesn't work out, he'll have to wait until I've seen her first before I get to see the Old Jia family!”
He Yuzhu pretended to be exasperated and turned to go home.
"Hey, nephew, don't be busy.”
Auntie Liu quickly pulled He Yuzhu back and said,
Aunt Liu thought that if he went back and told Old Madam Wang to go to the Qin family.
When the Qin family saw this, they wondered what kind of conditions Matchmaker Liu had set for them to meet. What conditions did Matchmaker Wang introduce us with? If this got out, how would he survive in the future!
He had to think of a way!
Hence, he said to He Yuzhu with a flattering smile,
"Nephew! Auntie, let me tell you, Qin Huairu is my distant relative. If you want to see her, it's best if you look for me.”
"That daughter has been the most obedient to me since she was young. She's so handsome that she's a famous beauty within a hundred miles. She's so diligent that you'll definitely like her if you see her!”
"Really?"
He Yuzhu pretended to be surprised and asked.
"But didn't you say that you told Old Merchant's family about her? What should we do?”
Hearing He Yuzhu's doubts, Auntie Liu hurriedly said,
"Hey! It's not a big deal. They haven't met each other before, and this matter hasn't been settled yet!”
"Now that a handsome young man with good conditions like you is willing, I have to consider my Huairu, right?”
"But do you really not mind that she's from the countryside? Can you make decisions in your family?"
Hearing Auntie Liu's words, He Yuzhu also hurriedly said,
"Don't worry about that! My father and I make a total of 100 yuan a month. Usually, my father takes me out to help out in the kitchen.”
"I can even support her family, let alone her alone. Moreover, my father has asked me to make the decision for my marriage. He won't say anything, don't worry!”
Hearing this, Aunt Liu felt more at ease. Then, he said to He Yuzhu,
"Alright! Alright, I'll tell you the rules. First of all, I have to eat three meals as a matchmaker. I want to raise 30% of the betrothal gift to the bride's family. Before they met, they had to pay for the errand and tea!”
After saying that, Aunt Liu carefully observed He Yuzhu's reaction.
"Hey! What a big deal! I definitely can't let you suffer a loss on this matter. Tell me, how much is it?”
He Yuzhu agreed without thinking. Seeing that he agreed so readily, Aunt Liu began to plan in her heart.
If the betrothal gift to the bride's family was two or three yuan, he would take one yuan for himself. He gritted his teeth and asked for one yuan for the tea money before meeting him.
In this case, I can earn at least two or three yuan if this matter succeeds. This was much more than what the old beggar from the Old Merchant's family had given him. Not only did her family not agree to give the betrothal gift, but they also gave her 50 cents for the errand fee! Well, it was still worth it to tell him about Huairu!
After calculating, Auntie Liu said to He Yuzhu,
"According to the rules, the betrothal gift of the eldest nephew Qin family is to be discussed between the two families. However, the Qin family would be satisfied if your aunt gave you three yuan. After all, marrying you is considered climbing up the social ladder!”
"Auntie, you can pay me as much as you want! If you feel sorry for auntie, give her more. She can talk more if she drinks more good tea! After saying that, she looked at He Yuzhu carefully."
He Yuzhu's heart churned when he heard that! Just this? He could marry the tender and youthful Qin Huiru for less than five yuan? This was Qin Huairu, this era was better!
He thought about Qin Huiru's little appearance. That devilish figure.
She suppressed her thoughts and said to Auntie Liu,
"Aunt, I won't say anything else! If Qin Huiru is as good as you described and she's your relative, I can't be too shabby and embarrass you.”
"I'll make the decision on behalf of my dad for the betrothal gift money. I'll give you ten times the amount of 30 yuan and give her family enough face!”
"I'll give you 5 yuan for your tea first. When you bring Huairu here, don't ride the ox cart and take the car! What do you think?"
After Aunt Liu heard He Yuzhu's words, she was stunned for a whole minute!
Auntie Liu! Auntie Liu? What do you think? He Yuzhu saw that Auntie Liu did not speak for a long time and called out twice.
"Alright! Too good! This child had the courage to do great things. Your Auntie Liu has seen a lot of people in this line of work. Nephew Gu, you're obviously a promising man.”
Aunt Liu was deeply shocked by He Yuzhu. The good things that came out of his mouth ran out in baskets!
She reached out and took the 5 yuan from He Yuzhu. Aunt Liu said to He Yuzhu directly,
"Nephew, wait for me here for a while. You're so sensible. I can't leave you any clues!”
With that, he ran towards the courtyard house!
She watched as Auntie Liu disappeared like a wisp of smoke. Money could really push away ghosts. It was the same no matter what era it was. She just didn't know where this Auntie Liu went!
He Yuzhu, who was standing by the roadside, calculated the money in his pocket. When he was helping the chef in the restaurant at night, the system rewarded him with ten yuan.
In the morning, the system had rewarded him with one yuan. Adding on the 40 cents he got back from buying wine for He Daqing, he had 30 cents left. Subtracting the 50 yuan he had just given Matchmaker Liu, he still had 6.43 yuan in his pocket.
He had to think of a way to get some money. No matter what, since he had married Qin Huiru in this life, he would let her marry him in a grand manner and live a happy life.
As He Yuzhu was pondering, Matchmaker Liu walked over with a look of disdain and grumbling. She hurriedly asked with concern,
"What's wrong, Auntie Liu? Who offended you?"
"Hai, it's all because of that old beggar from the Jia family. It's really all thanks to you that I've finally seen through their family. I was just thinking that I've just told the Jia family about Qin Huairu, and I've arranged for the two of you to meet here.”
"Your two families are living in the same courtyard. This matter can't be hidden from others in the future! If that old beggar of the Jia Clan were to spout nonsense in the courtyard, it would have a bad influence on you!”
"I was just thinking about how to make them give up on Qin Huiru. I went back and mentioned to them that there was a girl from Beijing who worked in a textile factory. They really didn't want to see Huairu! He wanted to see the girl in the city first!”
Aunt Liu complained indignantly.
"Isn't that a good thing? I still have to thank you for thinking so thoroughly for me!”
He Yuzhu looked at the angry Aunt Liu and asked curiously.
"Hey, don't mention it. That old woman used the excuse that the people from Sijiu City weren't far away and wanted to give me 20 cents less as an errand fee. Or maybe Huairu was lucky enough to meet you. If she were to introduce Huairu to the two of them, look at how aggrieved she would be!“”
"Alright, nephew, it's getting late. I should go back! Don't worry, Aunt will go to Qin Village tomorrow morning to matchmake you. Just stay at home and wait for me to prepare properly and marry a virtuous beauty!”
After saying that, Matchmaker Liu and He Yuzhu waved their hands and walked towards the alley entrance.
Auntie, slow down! He Yuzhu turned around and prepared to discuss her marriage with He Daqing!
