Chapter 739 Matchmaker Zhou takes action(1/2)
When Jia Zhang saw him coming, her face suddenly darkened, she pointed at Matchmaker Zhou's nose and cursed: "Matchmaker Zhou, what are you doing here? Do you want to introduce a partner to my daughter-in-law?"
Let me tell you, if you dare to do that, don’t blame my old lady for being rude to you, you also know how powerful my old lady is.”
Matchmaker Zhou didn't want to come to Qin Huairu's house in the first place, but now Jia Zhang's reaction further confirmed her thoughts.
Matchmaker Zhou smiled awkwardly and explained: "Sister-in-law, you misunderstood, I am not here this time for Qin Huairu.
But for your family, Xiaodang, I found a good family for Xiaodang."
Hearing Matchmaker Zhou's words, Jia Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.
Because he knows very well, even if he treats Qin Huairu like a scumbag all day long.
But he knew very well that if Qin Huairu was gone, he would definitely be sent back to his hometown
Jia Zhang has lived in the capital for so many years, always doing nothing and never working.
If he was sent back to his hometown to farm, wouldn't that mean killing him?
Furthermore, Mrs. Jia and Zhang knew very well that in this era, life in rural areas was particularly difficult, and many places did not have enough to eat.
If he goes back, he might die soon.
Under such circumstances, the Jia Zhang family would never tolerate Qin Huairu getting married.
After Jia Zhang figured it out, she looked at Matchmaker Zhou and said, "Matchmaker Zhou, you're right, we are old sisters. Since you introduced a partner to Xiaodang, the person you introduced must be very good.
Let me ask you now, how much dowry can that family give Xiaodang?
Let me tell you, our little boy is a regular worker in the factory and a junior high school graduate.
His conditions are better than many girls in our compound. If the bride price offered by the other party is too small, that won’t work.”
Even though Matchmaker Zhou already knew the temperament of Jia Zhang.
But he didn't expect that Jia Zhang's opening and closing her mouth would be a betrothal gift, and she also pointed out that a lot of betrothal gifts were needed. This week, the matchmaker felt a little uncomfortable.
Matchmaker Zhou gave Jia Zhang a faint look and said, "Jia Zhang is now advocating new things in our street and requires residents not to ask for betrothal gifts from the groom when they get married.
What you do now is going against the policies of the street.
If word spreads, the residents in the compound will definitely have opinions about you."
It has to be said that Matchmaker Zhou understands Jia Zhang’s character very well.
He knows very well that Jia Zhang is not afraid of anything now.
What he fears most is that the residents of the compound will have a bad opinion of him.
In that case, Jia Zhang would not be able to borrow money.
However, what Matchmaker Zhou didn't expect was that Jia Zhang had now regarded Xiaodang as a money tree.
In the face of huge interests, it is impossible for Jia and Zhang to give in
He looked at Matchmaker Zhou coldly and said: "Matchmaker Zhou, judging from what you said, it is a matter of course that a wedding gift is required.
Besides, our family has raised our child so well. All the money he spends on food and schooling comes from our family. What’s wrong?
Now we ask for a little dowry, shouldn’t we?”
Matchmaker Zhou was speechless for a moment when she faced the unreasonable Jia Zhang.
But matchmaker Zhou knew very well that people like Jia Zhang would recognize money but not people. Even if he made ridiculous claims, Jia Zhang would not give up asking for betrothal gifts.
Qin Huairu saw Jia Zhang and Matchmaker Zhou quarreling, and quickly stopped in the middle.
Although he didn't like Xiaodang very much, Xiaodang was his daughter after all, and he was the one who made her grow up by pooping and peeing.
Rather than selling her child for a high betrothal gift, Qin Huairu hopes that she will be young enough to marry into a good family.
Thinking of this, Qin Huairu asked with a smile: "Matchmaker Zhou, you just said so much, what is the situation of the person you want to introduce to Xiaodang?"
Hearing this, Matchmaker Zhou looked a little embarrassed, and Mrs. Jia Zhang snorted coldly and said: "Matchmaker Zhou, you matchmakers are all talking about lies, what's wrong?
Did you take money from the man’s husband and introduce a lame man to my wife?
Let me tell you, if you are a lame person, then the bride price must be doubled, otherwise, I will not agree."
Good guy, this Jia Zhang would rather marry Xiao Dang to a cripple for money.
Matchmaker Zhou smiled awkwardly and said: "Of course he is not a cripple. The person I want to introduce is also from your compound.
You all know him, he is Yan Jiecheng from the third uncle’s family.”
Hearing Matchmaker Zhou's words, Jia Zhang's expression suddenly changed.
He pointed at Matchmaker Zhou's nose and said, "Well, Matchmaker Zhou, I regard you as a good sister, how dare you bully me?"
Matchmaker Zhou felt a little confused and said: "Jia Zhang, where did you start talking about this? How could I bully you?"
Mrs. Jia Zhang snorted coldly and said: "Mr. Zhou Mei, you don't know what is going on in the third uncle's family. There is no one more stingy than him in our compound.
Moreover, Yan Jiecheng from the third uncle’s family is already married. Our Xiaodang is an unmarried girl and a young lady. How can we marry him?
"
In this day and age, people are conservative. After getting married, if you get divorced, you will easily be looked down upon by others.
Therefore, what Jia Zhang said this time is not excessive.
Matchmaker Zhou explained: "Old sisters, although Yan Jiecheng is already married, he is still upright. Although he has made some mistakes over the years, he has room for development.
Besides, the third uncle is an old teacher and a manager in your courtyard. He also has some power in your courtyard.
I think Yan Jiecheng is a good match for your Xiaodang."
Of course, there are some things that Matchmaker Zhou did not say, that is, the reputations of Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu are quite bad now.
In this era, choosing a marriage partner is not a matter of one person. The man’s family will usually consider the situation of the woman’s family.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu were known by people in the man’s family, they would definitely not agree to Yan Jiecheng’s marriage to Xiaodang.
Of course, neither Qin Huairu nor Jia Zhang expected this. Although Qin Huairu said that she had no intention of asking for a large amount of betrothal gifts, she would never marry Xiao Dang to an unemployed and divorced person.

Qin Huairu said with a straight face to Matchmaker Zhou: "Matchmaker Zhou, don't talk about this matter anymore. I can tell you clearly now that we will not agree to Xiaodang's marriage. You can leave now."
Matchmaker Zhou didn't have high hopes when she came this time. Now after hearing Qin Huairu's words, she could only smile awkwardly, turned around and left Qin Huairu's house.
Jia Zhang looked at Matchmaker Zhou's back, spat and said, "As Yan Jie is like that, don't even think about a toad eating swan meat. It's simply wishful thinking.
Xiaodang is a worker now, a worker in a textile factory, and she is so beautiful. She will definitely be able to marry into a good family in the future."
Mrs. Jia Zhang has never taken Xiaodang seriously, but today after Matchmaker Zhou came over, she suddenly discovered that Xiaodang seemed to be quite useful.
Qin Huairu knew Xiaodang's temperament very well, looked at Jia Zhang and said: "The third uncle is not the kind of person who can't figure things out.
If there was nothing wrong with this matter, the third uncle would never send someone to propose marriage.
I think Yan Jiecheng may have already gotten along with Xiaodang."
Hearing this, Mrs. Jia Zhang’s expression changed drastically.
"No, no, we can't let the two of them get along well. If that happens, I won't be able to receive the gift. Qin Huairu, you must stop it."
Qin Huairu also knew this, so he didn't care about resting at home.
After eating, we went to the textile factory
Although it is lunch time at this time, the management of the textile factory is relatively strict, and only workers can enter and exit.
Qin Huairu stood at the door waiting for a long time, but did not see anyone she knew. She had to step forward and look at the security officer and said: "Comrade, I am Xiaodang's mother. I have something to do and I want to see Xiaodang.
Could you please help inform me?
"
Qin Huairu is extremely polite, and she is Xiaodang's mother.
So the security officer didn't think much about it, turned around and came to the workshop.
At this time, Xiaodang had finished his lunch and was chatting with a group of female workers in the workshop.
"Xiao Dang, you are so beautiful, you will definitely marry a good man in the future.
By the way, I have a cousin who is a worker in a lumber factory. He is very handsome. How about I introduce him to you?"
"Yes, Xiaodang, I think you and that Yan Jiecheng are not a good match at all.
You are still young, and you simply don’t understand that Yan Jiecheng looks polite, but in fact he is not a good person.
We are good sisters, so I advised you, so I hope you can keep your eyes open.
"
"Silly, I feel the same way. The last time we went out together, I saw that Yan Jiecheng looked at me in the wrong way. He secretly wanted to tease me, but I rejected him.
"
Xiaodang has been getting along with Yan Jiecheng for a while, and he often takes Yan Jiecheng to meet his friends.
These female workers were all married, and their eyes were very poisonous. After several contacts with Yan Jiecheng, they realized that Yan Jiecheng was unreliable.
