Before lunch, the third daughter-in-law of Ping Yatou was dressed in new clothes, carrying several bags of snacks, and returned to her parents' home in a car.
Entering Qiaodong Lane, still dozens of steps away from the gate of her parents' home, Mrs. Wu got out of the car and told the driver in a loud voice: "Pick me up again in the evening, but don't be too early. I want to talk to my mother-in-law for a while."
!"
In the courtyard of the Wu family, Matchmaker Miao rushed out first and exclaimed in surprise, "It's our second aunt and grandma! Sister Wu, third sister, hurry up! Our second aunt and grandma is back!"
"My father asked me to come back and talk to my mother-in-law!" Mrs. Wu's voice was high. "Take these two bags of Guiji's snacks. My father specially sent people to buy them. There are still a few bags of snacks here. They are too big.
If it’s too much, I’ll be exhausted after just a few steps.”
Aunt Wu rushed out right behind Miao Matchmaker, stepped forward to take a few packets of snacks, and shouted loudly: "Third Sister! Come and take these packets of Guiji snacks!"
The three people shouted loudly and entered the courtyard gate.
The third sister of the Wu family leaned against the door frame of the main room, turned her head slightly, and glanced sideways at the three people standing in a row.
The Fourth Sister and the Fifth Sister of the Wu family were sitting at the door of the wing, very knowledgeable and did not stand up.
According to the rules of their family, everything in the family is only provided to the one who is getting married. When the eldest sister is not married, everything in the house, whether it is food or clothing, belongs to the eldest sister. The food and clothing of the following four younger sisters are all left over by the eldest sister.<
/p>
When the eldest sister got married, the second sister took over. After the second sister got married, it was the third sister's turn.
Grandma said, money should be spent wisely.
They are not blades yet.
The third sister took the Guiji snack that her mother gave her, picked it up and looked at it, turned around and threw it on the table, waved the handkerchief and entered the east room, raising her hand to lower the door curtain.
"What a damn girl!" Mrs. Wu raised her eyebrows.
"Second Aunt Grandma, don't argue with her. Young ladies are all spoiled guests. You're tired. Sit down quickly." Matchmaker Miao pushed Second Aunt Wu to sit down and looked at her with great affection.
"Drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat." Aunt Wu put a cup of tea into her daughter's hand, sat sideways next to Second Grandma Wu, lowered her voice and asked worriedly: "Why are you back now? Is nothing wrong?
?"
Although her second daughter married into the Yatou family, which is very good, it has some flaws.
The eldest and youngest of Ping Yatou's three sons are both very capable and capable, and can both support the family. It is the middle child who has not been in good health since he was a child and has been pampered. He has to eat five meals from morning to night and take a break in the morning.
One nap and another in the afternoon. I was busy eating, drinking and sleeping all day, and couldn't do anything.
When choosing his second daughter-in-law, Ping Yatou lowered his head a little. He planned to choose someone who was skillful in weaving fine cloth. After marrying her, he would let his second daughter-in-law work in the Pingjiang Weaving Factory. His son's aunt was the manager of the Pingjiang Weaving Factory.
The daughter-in-law will follow her aunt to learn the trade for a few years, and then find a way to find a job as a manager. With the support of the daughter-in-law, the second son's family will be able to stand up.
Ping Yatou entrusted several official media, including the Miao matchmaker.
This marriage was difficult to find even with a lantern, so the Miao matchmaker tried her best to get it to the second sister of the Wu family.
The second sister of the Wu family married into the Heng family and entered a weaving workshop. She really couldn't learn to weave silk or jacquard muslin, so her aunt had to ask someone to move her to the warehouse. The warehouse had to work hard, so she would be sick every two days, so she could work hard.
I couldn’t go down, so I had to go home.
Fortunately, her second sister and her second son-in-law have a very good relationship, and the old couple in Pingyatou love their son very much, so the second grandmother of the Wu family has nothing to worry about.
"I was discussing with Erlang what sweets to eat. Dad called me over and asked me to come back quickly. When I went over, the snacks were ready." Second Grandma Wu raised her chin slightly, with a look on her face.
Reserved and proud.
"What happened?" Matchmaker Miao leaned over and asked.
"Nothing happened, I just have something to ask of Grandma and Grandma Miao." Second Grandma Wu took out the handkerchief, shook it, and pressed the corner of her mouth.
She is not afraid that others will ask for her, she is only afraid that others will not ask for her.
"There is a family named Li in Cailian Lane, who is said to be a scholar. Does Aunt Miao know about it?" Mistress Wu asked in one sentence, holding her breath slightly and looking at Matchmaker Miao.
"I know, I know! How could I not know about their family! What's wrong with their family? Has Ping Yatou taken a fancy to her girl?" Matchmaker Miao asked.
"It's good that Aunt Miao knows." Mistress Wu breathed a sigh of relief and pressed the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief. "You said her family is now in the fine cloth business? Does Aunt Miao know how they run the fine cloth business?
”
Matchmaker Miao and Aunt Wu looked at each other, hesitated, and asked, "What else can we do? Just open a shop to sell fine cloth. Her fine cloth is much cheaper."
"The fine cloth is generally very fine. If you dig it with your fingers, you can make a slit." Aunt Wu continued.
"I asked her where the fine cloth came from. I heard it didn't come from a weaving workshop." Mistress Wu gave Matchmaker Miao a rolling look.
"Then you have to ask around." Miao Matchmaker replied.
"Miao Auntie, let's find out more about it. We have to hurry up. The sooner the better. I'll ask the driver to pick me up in the evening. Can we find out before evening?" Mistress Wu looked at Matchmaker Miao and said.
"This is an important matter for our second sister, and she must do her best. There is nothing difficult to find out. Just go and ask and you will know." Aunt Wu looked at Matchmaker Miao and said with a smile.
"Well, then you wait for me and I'll go to their shop and ask." Matchmaker Miao stood up.
"It's almost time to eat, how about I go after my sister has finished her meal?" Aunt Wu said hesitantly.
The meal is not ready yet, so we have to wait until the meal is ready before going, no matter what, we will be delayed for half an hour. This is a major matter that affects the face of her second sister, so it is not good to delay.
"I'll just bring some cloud cakes to eat on the road. It's rare for Ping Yatou to ask for help from our second sister. No matter what, we have to help our second sister support her face!" Matchmaker Miao said as she spoke.
While sitting, I took a dozen pieces of cloud cake from the plate on the table.
"No, what my sister said is exactly what I thought. No matter what, we can't disgrace our second sister." Aunt Wu said with a smile.
The Miao matchmaker hurried straight to Yueyang Cloth Village.
Sister-in-law Yin received the Miao matchmaker warmly and politely. As for where the Miao matchmaker wanted to find out where the fine cloth came from, how much the purchase price was, and how the business was done, she didn't miss a word.
Matchmaker Miao found nothing, so she came out carrying ten preserved eggs given by Sister-in-law Yin with an annoyed look on her face. Thinking that their second sister was still waiting at home, she simply went straight to Li's house on Cailian Lane.
Only Sister Mei is in the Li family.
Sister Mei is an honest person and not stupid. Besides, she hates matchmakers like Matchmaker Miao so much that she pretends to be deaf and dumb.
Matchmaker Miao had no choice but to come out and walk halfway to Qiaodong Lane. The more she walked, the more guilty she felt. She didn't find out anything. How could she have the face to face their second sister? How could they go home? Their second sister was like this
Where to put your face?
Matchmaker Miao paused, turned around and went back to Cailian Lane. When she arrived at the entrance of Cailian Lane, she took a look, sat down in the framing shop opposite the entrance of the lane, and asked the waiter to pour her a cup of tea. She had to wait until Li's house
Those girls are back.
Sister-in-law Yin must really not know, otherwise, with her ability, there is definitely nothing she can’t find out!
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－－
I got a haircut today, had a meal at the restaurant, walked around the bustling road with almost no people around, and was stuck in traffic on the elevated highway for a long time. Well, I can happily work tomorrow.
Hopefully, all bad things will end and everything will turn out well.
