The Marriage Was Annulled
"I'm sorry. I received many gifts from you, but I messed up my job.”
Matchmaker Zhang's tone was filled with guilt.
She was a famous matchmaker in the residential area of the Red Star Rolling Mill. She had been a matchmaker for twenty years.
It was also rare to encounter such a situation. The man and woman had met several times and had already reached the stage of giving betrothal gifts and discussing marriage.
However, the woman went back on her word and chose to marry into another family.
What was even more embarrassing was that the newly married family was neighbors with the original one.
"This has nothing to do with you, Big Sister-in-law Zhang. It's my Feng 'er's bad luck.”
Qin Zhangshi lay on the bed, feeling very upset.
However, because of the matchmaker, he forced a smile.
"Sister-in-law Qin, don't be angry with the Jia family and their new daughter-in-law.”
"I'll introduce your Qin Feng to a girl better than Qin Huairu later.”
Matchmaker Zhang hurriedly said a few more words and left.
She really took the matter of introducing a new wife to the Qin family to heart.
The marriage that she had single-handedly pulled together had been interrupted. While she was unhappy, she did not want to tarnish her reputation for many years.
......
Qin Feng did not say anything when his mother was talking to Matchmaker Zhang.
He silently took the remaining brown rice in the house and cooked a pot of porridge over a small fire. He brought it to his mother's bed and fed it to her.
It had been three months since he had traveled back to the 1960s.
His father died early, and the family was not in a good position.
His mother was bedridden.
He was a cook in the kitchen of the Red Star Rolling Mill and received a monthly salary of 27.5 yuan.
The system had arrived, but not completely. It said that it would only be activated after the five-year agreement.
Some time ago, Matchmaker Zhang, who had been familiar with her mother for many years, saw that she had reached the age.
He took the initiative to introduce her to someone.
In this day and age, there were still a few people who were free to fall in love and get married. Most of them were introduced by matchmakers.
And the person Matchmaker Zhang had introduced to her was actually Qin Huairu.
Anyone who had seen the Love Courtyard would recognize Qin Huiru.
Qin Feng had also read the original work back then, so he naturally understood.
Qin Feng naturally had some expectations.
After Matchmaker Zhang's matchmaking, Qin Feng finally met up with Qin Huairu.
After a few more interactions, they were going to get married in a month.
Qin Feng's family was relatively poor. For Qin Huiru's sake, he also gathered 20 yuan as a betrothal gift.
He had already told Qin Huairu beforehand that he would find an auspicious day to go to her house to propose marriage, get their marriage certificate, and get married.
Unexpectedly.
Just as this day was about to arrive.
Qin Huairu and her family had gone back on their word!
According to Matchmaker Zhang, another matchmaker had introduced another unmarried young man in the courtyard house, Jia Dongxu from the Jia family, to Qin Huairu.
Jia Dongxu was a fitter at the Red Star Rolling Mill. He entered the factory earlier than Qin Feng, and his salary was higher than Qin Feng's.
Qin Huairu's father was in charge of the Qin family, and he valued Jia Dongxu's higher salary than Qin Feng's.
There was another more important point.
Jia Dongxu's father died early, and only his mother was still alive.
And Jia Dongxu's mother, Jia Zhangshi, was healthy and not bedridden like Qin Feng's mother.
In other words, the Jia family had one more labor force than the Qin family.
Going back a few decades, the Jia family's ancestors were all farmers, and their family background was better than the Qin family.
With all these reasons, Qin Huairu's father told her about the situation and asked her to call off the engagement.
She rejected Qin Feng and married Jia Dongxu.
If that was the case, his future days would be better.
Qin Huairu had been a little hesitant at the time. She had already considered the situation of the two families that her father had mentioned.
In terms of ability, she was much better than her father, and her vision was also much more far-sighted.
The only thing she was reluctant to part with was that she had interacted with Qin Feng a few times.
Be it his appearance, figure, or the way he spoke, Qin Huairu had left a very good impression on him.
In comparison, Jia Dongxu looked shabby and his speech was vulgar. He was far inferior.
"Life doesn't depend on looks. Jia Dongxu's salary is high, and his mother is healthy.”
"Jia Dongxu it is!"
"No matter how good Qin Feng looks, it will be tough for him to marry over and take care of his bedridden mother-in-law.”
With this thought in mind, Qin Huairu's family decided to break off the engagement.
He rejected the Qin family's 20 yuan betrothal gift and accepted the Jia family's 15 yuan betrothal gift.
The Jia family had originally wanted to give a 10 yuan betrothal gift, thinking that Jia Dongxu, who was from the city, had married Qin Huairu, who was from the countryside and had no money.
Qin Huairu had taken advantage of him.
Later on, Qin Huairu's family made things difficult for her, saying that Qin Feng's family wanted to give her a 20-yuan betrothal gift.
She had no choice but to give him an extra 5 yuan, which was a total of 15 yuan.
Because of this, Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu even hated Qin Feng's family.
He felt that if Qin Feng's family had not raised the price and given him a 20-yuan betrothal gift, his family would not have to spend this 5 yuan.
Now that things had come to this, Qin Huairu was waiting to marry into the Jia family.
As for Qin Feng, he went to work on time every day and went home to take care of his bedridden mother.
A few days later.
Matchmaker Zhang, who was worried about Qin Feng's marriage being broken off, came to find him again.
He wanted to introduce Qin Feng to a new partner.
According to Matchmaker Zhang, the girl had asked someone to find her boyfriend.
Moreover, Qin Feng had seen this lady before.
It was Qin Huairu's second uncle's eldest daughter, Qin Yuru. She had just turned 18 this year.
