Chapter 44 The Most Generous Reward
After hearing this, the matchmaker's expression changed subtly. In her memory, when Wu Yue came to her house in person to ask for help, her words were sincere. In addition, Wu Yue was young and came from a clean family, which made her want to facilitate this good match.
Little did they know that although the white country gentleman had a wealthy family, he did not like to spend money extravagantly and hated to be involved in gossip. No matter whether the woman was young or old, she was not enough to make him make a hasty decision.
Now, there are many girls of marriageable age in the surrounding villages. If Mr. Bai really wants to find a good match, why worry about not having better choices? Why should he hang himself on a tree and stick to Wu Yue alone? Look, it's a pity that I sent you to find out a little in advance. After all, we are all in the same village. We see each other every day. We won't lie to each other in person, right? My house is already prosperous and lively. If I add another restless person, won't it make the whole house a mess? What I long for is a partner who can abide by his duties, be gentle and virtuous. I think it's better for you to find another good match.
"Oh, Mr. Bai, how can you easily draw a conclusion based on just one sentence? We need to understand it from many aspects. If the facts are really as the girl said, I have nothing to say. I am willing to admit defeat and then travel all over the country to carefully select a candidate you like."
After hearing this, Mr. Bai reluctantly revealed a look of approval on his face, as if he was slightly satisfied with the suggestion.
As for Ran He, she had no time to pay attention to the gossip of her neighbors.
The women in the village, on the surface, were extremely affectionate with Wu Yue, but in private they secretly hoped that she would have a bad life.
The money and occasional delicacies that the second son of the Su family pays as filial tribute every month are enough to attract the envious glances of others. Now that their daughter is going to marry into a wealthy family, the fire of jealousy in their hearts must have already burned into an ocean.
Even your blood relatives can be so jealous, not to mention those insignificant villagers. How many of them can really feel happy for your happiness? In their view, only when the living standards of each other are almost the same can they feel balanced and comfortable.
Everything was just as expected. The matchmaker then asked several villagers and found out that Wu Yue's reputation was not very good. Some people even revealed that Wu Yue had long planned to marry her off to a wealthy family. Therefore, she was spoiled since childhood and was never allowed to do any heavy work. Her daily upbringing also seemed quite lacking.
When Mr. Bai heard this, the thoughts in his mind instantly disappeared. After all, there were many women candidates, and since Wu Yue had no other advantages except her youth, why bother wasting time here?
At this time, Wu Yue was still unaware that she had missed the marriage she had always dreamed of because of her momentary recklessness.
If they knew the whole story, they would definitely stay there and not allow the villagers to have any chance to spread rumors or cause trouble.
At this moment, she was very angry about the piece of meat. Not only could she not enjoy the delicious food, but she was also ridiculed by the village women, and her face was completely lost.
"Mom, didn't you promise to buy me meat? Can you say that the meat is meat? Once the oil is squeezed out, only bones are left. How can I swallow it?"
Faced with Wu Yue's temper, Wu's mother's face suddenly darkened.
The family has huge expenses. Not only do they have to prepare a generous dowry, but they also have to distribute a lot of food. It is already very difficult to have meat to eat, so how can they afford to be picky?
"That's the situation at home. If you want to eat better, wait until you get married. You can eat meat every day until you get sick of it! What's wrong with beating the meat now? You can keep the oil from squeezing it, and fry the remaining meat with flour. Isn't that good?"
Mother Wu felt very aggrieved. She had budgeted carefully for the family, but in the end no one understood her, as if all this was her duty.
But then she thought about it, she would have to rely on her children for her old age, so she suppressed her anger and comforted her, "Wu Yue, don't be angry, I'll cut you a piece of bacon and stir-fry it, it will also satisfy your craving. When you get married, I promise to let you eat braised pork and pork elbows, I will never break my promise!"
She made a concession and used bacon instead of fresh pork. After all, it was still meat and it could slightly alleviate Wu Yue's craving.
Wu's mother could only temporarily suppress her dissatisfaction, thinking that after marrying into the wealthy family, she would live a life without worries about food and clothing, so she endured it for the time being.
"Go prepare it quickly. It has to taste meaty."
"okay!"
Mother Wu carried the piece of lower leg meat and walked into the kitchen with heavy steps. She felt mixed emotions and only hoped that this compromise could bring some peace back to the family.
There were only two of them left at home. Xie Di had gone out to work hard in the fields. As lunchtime was approaching, Mother Wu realized that she had to speed up in order to prepare lunch on time.
In the kitchen, oil was boiling on the stove, and the rich aroma slowly overflowed out of the window, intertwined with the tempting aroma of the fried meat slices. The two blended together, as if forming a wonderful symphony of taste, so that half of the neighbors in the village were awakened by the tempting aroma. Everyone knew that today the Wu family’s dining table would have the long-lost meat.
Mother Wu decided to add a few slices of bacon and stir-fry them with fresh green peppers. The color and aroma complemented each other so well that it was magnificent enough to be seen by the neighbors who were still showing off their own dining tables yesterday.
It’s not that the Wu family can’t afford meat, they just keep a low profile.
As for Ran He, after enjoying the brief luxury of rabbit meat, he could only spend the rest of his days on plain tea and meals. How could the momentary pride last?
Wu Younian was extremely proud when he saw this. The long-lost meat not only satisfied his appetite, but also made him feel very good. When he went out, he stood straighter than usual, as if all his hard work these days had finally received the most tangible reward.
However, just as everyone in the Wu family was sitting around the table, preparing to enjoy this rare and sumptuous lunch, a hurried sound of footsteps approached from afar, and Su Lanfen appeared in front of the door with an anxious look on her face.
She seemed to be counting every step she took, and the worry about her work was like a lingering shadow in her heart.
If Ran He didn't handle this matter well, she might lose her job. This worry forced her to race against time.
"Aunt, aunt..."
Mother Wu felt warm in her heart, but then a trace of worry flashed through her mind.
The house is filled with the aroma of meat. If you don't invite your relatives to share the meal, it will inevitably seem ungenerous.
A trace of displeasure flashed across Wu Younian and Wu Ming's faces at the same time, as if they were wondering whether Wu's mother had deliberately tipped off her parents' home in advance so that they could arrive just in time for dinner to enjoy this rare meal of meat.
Mother Wu felt very aggrieved. Although her mother's family was not wealthy, they had enough food and clothing. She often helped them secretly and would never do anything to damage the harmony between the two families.
