Chapter 26: Blind date?
Editor: Atlas Studios
But the interior of the house was quite clean and tidy. When the woman touched the stool, there was no dust on it at all. The glass was also shiny and looked very clean.
This was also different from what others said.
Qiao Mei carried the little piglets on her back and took the basket of chicks and ducklings to the courtyard. She placed the four little piglets in the pigpen and brought the chicks and ducklings into the small room at the back.
This room at the back was the Qiao family storeroom where they kept the sundries and other items.
It was still cold outside in the early spring. If the chicks and ducklings were not kept in the storeroom, they would freeze to death in the blink of an eye.
After she was done, she washed her hands and went into the house to pour water for everyone. Although her attitude was not very good, she did not seem as domineering as the rumors said.
She just seemed like an ordinary farm girl.
The white-haired woman looked at Qiao Mei with satisfaction. The lean man also seemed to look surprised.
Although Qiao Mei did not know that the woman in white gloves was a matchmaker, she could more or less guess it from the feeling she got. The feeling of being scrutinized was too strong, the only thing these people did not do was to surround her and examine her.
After all, she had gone on many blind dates in her other life.
After sitting down, Qiao Mei looked at the man in front of her. He looked to be in his thirties and had thick eyebrows, big eyes and a round face. He was frowning and there was ruthlessness in his eyes. It was obvious that he was not easy to get along with.
Furthermore, she could faintly sense a sinister aura from this man. This man was definitely not a good person.
After Qiao Mei judged the situation, she immediately wanted to send these people out the door.
"What do you want?" Qiao Mei changed her previous silent stance and took the initiative to ask.
This question stunned the few of them. They did not expect her to be the first person to speak and that she even vaguely seemed like the head of the family.
Forget it, forget it. This Qiao family was different from what others said. They were so weird.
"This is Wang Yong, one of the most handsome guys in our Datian Village. See how good-looking he is?" The matchmaker immediately started the process and introduced him with a smile.
After that, she was just full of praises for the man whom she said was a rare find and how it was because this man was so lucky that his wife died because she was not worthy of his fortune.
In the end, they had asked around and heard that Qiao Mei was a very fortunate person, which was why they came to visit her.
Hearing that, Qiao Mei immediately waved her hand. "Don't, don't. I'm not blessed either. Look at me, I don't have parents and I don't have a good job. You must have found the wrong person!"
Qiao Mei glanced at the man. "I'm not a match for someone with such good qualities. Find someone else! I'm busy at home so I won't send you off."
Qiao Mei stood up and wanted to send them off.
The reason why this matchmaker praised this man so much was to highlight how bad she was and how this man was more than good enough for her, so that she would agree and think that she had gotten a good deal.
Match your head!
I don't want to continue chatting with you all!
Qiao Mei did not want to smile at them anymore. If you still smile after someone spat on your face, aren't you being cheap?
This would be the moment to slap their faces and let them know what was good for them.
Qiao Mei's attitude was very obvious. She did not want to marry this man at all and did not like him at all.
Wang Yong and his mother were so angry that their chests heaved.
Wang Yong stared at Qiao Mei gloomily and did not speak.
His mother opened her mouth and was about to curse. "You…"
But at this moment, the sound of piglets oinking suddenly came from the courtyard. It was fresh and vigorous, like a feast of pork dishes was being placed in front of them.
Wang Yong's mother snapped out of it and pinched her own thigh. She grinned and said, "You silly girl, what do you know? It's not up to you to decide whether your life is good or not. Some people have a good life after they are born, but the rest of their lives are not good. Some people have a bad life before they get married, but they have a good life after getting married!"
"The way I see it, you're the type who would get lucky after you get married. I can tell at one glance that you will bring good fortune to your husband. If you marry my son, I guarantee that you'll live a comfortable life."
Chapter 27: Already Engaged
Editor: Atlas Studios
The matchmaker looked at the eloquent old widow in front of her in surprise. She never knew that this old widow could speak so well.
Wang Yong's mother was crafty and mean and her neighbors did not like her. After a long time, they called her old widow behind her back.
Actually, she would not be unhappy even if they called her old widow to her face. After all, she felt that it was a good thing for everyone to be afraid of her.
Without waiting for Qiao Mei to speak, the old widow looked at Qiao Qiang and continued asking, "Uncle Qiao, I heard that your monthly retirement salary is 50 dollars?"
During this time, everyone's salary was open information. No one was afraid of others knowing about it, so there was nothing to hide.
Qiao Qiang froze for a moment before nodding. "Yes, it's 50 dollars."
Did this mean that these people were interested in his retirement salary?
In his opinion, it was not a big deal for them to be interested in his salary. After all, it was a blind date and each party was looking for a benefit from the other party.
He glanced at his granddaughter. Perhaps only he knew how good his granddaughter was. He would not be surprised if outsiders looked down on her and only wanted his money.
After all, in the past no one even eyed his money.
The old widow's eyes lit up.
Based on 50 dollars a month, that would mean 500 to 600 dollars a year? Their family had not even saved 100 dollars over the past decades. Not only that, they still owed their village more than ten dollars every year.
The old widow looked at Qiao Mei and her eyes flashed with surprise.
This was a treasure basin. With a few hundred dollars a year to subsidize the family's expenses, even if it was only a few months, it was enough to alleviate her family's debt.
Even if she had to snatch it by force, she must get this treasure basin.
"Uncle Qiao, what do you think of our family? We came here personally today to show how much we value the union between our families."
The old widow looked steadily at Qiao Qiang and said, "What about this? Let's have lunch today and consider the matter between the two of them settled. Tonight, she will return to Datian Village with us to be the Wang family daughter-in-law."
"Don't worry, we Wang family will treat her well!"
As long as you don't die, we won't treat her badly.
It's a few hundred dollars a year at stake. Even if they had to put the Black Bear Spirit on a pedestal, they had to get the money.
Hearing this, Qiao Qiang and Qiao Mei were stunned.
Qiao Qiang did not expect that this granddaughter, whom he had been worried about in the past, would be able to get married so quickly.
And Qiao Mei really did not expect it at all. In the matter of a few days, she was once again asked for her hand in marriage. This romance luck was so much better than in her other life.
What a surprise!
"You guys are too late. My granddaughter is already engaged to someone else," Qiao Qiang suddenly said.
Everyone in the room was stunned. She was engaged?
"Engaged to which family?" the old widow hurriedly asked.
"You don't have to worry about that," Qiao Qiang replied.
Given that Xia Zhe was not back yet, he did not dare to be too open about it.
On the other hand, the old widow misunderstood it. She felt that Qiao Qiang was just making excuses, how could he look down on her son just like that?
The old widow glared at Qiao Mei fiercely and felt indignant. How ungrateful of her. Given her dark and fat appearance, she still wanted to act all high and mighty?
"Oh grandfather of hers, if there's anything you're not satisfied about, just say it." Other than money, their family could agree to anything.
"My Mei Mei really already has in-laws, You will know when they get engaged in a while." Qiao Qiang stood up and prepared to send the guests off.
Both of their attitudes were firm.
After what he said, the people in the room felt they had to maintain some self-respect. Just as the old widow was about to say something, the matchmaker and Wang Yong stood up and quickly walked out.
The old widow had no choice but to follow.
