Siheyuan: Black and steady Gou Laoliu

At the entrance of Qinjia Village, under the big locust tree.

Several women at the intelligence station at the entrance of the village gathered together to mend shoe soles as usual, and their mouths were not idle, chatting about gossip about all sorts of things.

As they chatted, they talked about the affair between Qin Laosan and Li Guafu.

"How could Qin Lao San and Widow Li do such a thing? They are so shameless!"

A woman in a floral shirt said angrily while sewing the soles of her shoes.

Another woman with a red hairband quickly agreed, her face full of disgust: "That's right, it makes their families in the village unable to hold their heads up!"

Immediately, all the women present began to criticize the two men for their improper behavior, criticizing them from a moral high ground.

At this time, a woman with gray hair sighed and said, "This Qin Lao San is a slut. His daughter will have a hard time marrying into the city!"

As soon as she finished speaking, someone quickly took over the conversation: "This father's reputation has been ruined. The daughter will definitely be inferior to her husband's family!"

A shrewd-looking woman curled her lips and said, "Being a head shorter is nothing. I heard that people in the capital city care about appearances. It's just that the man doesn't know about the mess that happened in Qin Lao San's family, otherwise he might have to cancel the engagement on the spot!"

After hearing this, some people who were not on good terms with Qin Laosan's family immediately became interested and secretly thought that if they could get this matter to Qin Huairu's boyfriend's family, it would be a good show.

It’s a pity that the journey to the capital is too far, and I have to pay for the bus fare. I don’t even know where the man lives, otherwise I would really like to expose this huge scandal of Qin Laosan’s family.

You know, after Qin Laosan's daughter got engaged to a city guy, that family showed off a lot, and they even walked with their noses up in the air.

Now that Qin Laosan's family is in big trouble, those who used to dislike them are now feeling relieved.

Just when everyone was chatting animatedly, they looked up and saw the anxious matchmaker Wang.

Seeing that Matchmaker Wang looked so unhappy, something serious must be going on, and it was definitely not a good thing.

Soon a woman stood up and offered her a bench, greeting her warmly: "Matchmaker Wang, you must be exhausted after traveling all the way. Come and sit down and rest your feet."

The other women also seemed to be awakened, and they came to their senses one after another, saying, "Yes, Matchmaker Wang, the sun is very strong today, please sit down and rest."

Unable to refuse such a kind invitation, Matchmaker Wang did not reject it and went over to sit down and have a rest.

After chatting for a while, someone finally couldn't help but ask out of curiosity: "Matchmaker Wang, you look so anxious, is there something wrong?"

After hearing this, Matchmaker Wang frowned unconsciously, with a look of hesitation and entanglement on her face: "I shouldn't have told you about this, but we are all not outsiders. I told you not to spread it around."

The group of women suddenly became energized as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and nodded hurriedly to promise not to tell anyone.

Their eyes were fixed on Matchmaker Wang, as if it was a box full of treasures that was about to be opened.

Matchmaker Wang frowned, sighed deeply, and said slowly: "Qin Huairu's marriage...is going to fail!"

Once these words were spoken, it was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing a thousand waves.

A group of women at the intelligence station at the entrance of the village were stunned by this bombshell news. For a moment, there was complete silence under the big locust tree.

"What!?" an old lady asked hurriedly, "Matchmaker Wang, what's going on? Tell us quickly!"

The others also came back to their senses from their shock and pricked up their ears to listen carefully, fearing that they would miss this explosive news.

Matchmaker Wang sighed helplessly, "Two days ago, the man got drunk and ruined a girl's innocence in public. The girl asked for a marriage certificate as soon as possible, otherwise she would let the man go to jail. Now they have already got the marriage certificate. Oh, what is going on!"

Afterwards, the scene under the big locust tree became lively.

"It really is true what the old saying goes, 'Good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone'. When this person is unlucky, even drinking cold water will get his teeth stuck!"

"Tsk tsk, this is clearly the retribution for the evil deeds done by Qin Lao San and it is happening to his daughter!"

For a while, all kinds of sarcastic remarks came one after another.

The unhappy matchmaker Wang stood up and walked towards Qin Laosan's house amid the heated discussions of a group of women.

When they reached a deserted place, Matchmaker Wang raised a smug smile and whispered, "I'll show you my abilities later!"

When she arrived at Qin Laosan's house, Matchmaker Wang once again enjoyed the treatment of the old Buddha.

After Wang the matchmaker finished drinking the greasy sweet soup, she immediately began to boast: "I have already spread the news that Jia Dongxu ruined the girl's innocence after getting drunk. This way, it won't have a big impact on Huairu's reputation."

Qin Laosan and his wife hurriedly expressed their gratitude and happily gave the thank-you fee.

They didn't dare to abandon the donkey after it had served its purpose, and had to continue to curry favor with the matchmaker Wang, hoping that she would find a good home for their daughter.

If his daughter can't marry a city guy, she will definitely be laughed at by the villagers for the rest of her life.

They had discussed it as a family and decided that if all else failed, they would let their daughter marry the silly boy Han Li, since he was a city guy after all.

However, the silly boy Han Li is a bit stupid and his family conditions are too poor, so he can only be a last resort.

The family still prefers to find a rich husband for Qin Huairu.

At this time, Huairu's mother brought a heavy basket and gently placed it on the table, with a flattering smile on her face: "Sister Wang, please take the trouble to help my Huairu find another partner in the city."

Matchmaker Wang glanced into the basket and couldn't help feeling happy. She thought to herself: My luck has really turned around recently, with good things happening one after another.

There are 6 eggs on the top layer of the basket, and mountain products on the bottom. They are all good things. It seems that Qin Laosan's family is really willing to spend a lot of money to marry their daughter to the city.

Matchmaker Wang frowned and looked troubled, then she pretended to make a difficult decision:

"This blind date has very good conditions. He has two rooms at home and a formal job. I originally planned to keep him for my niece from a relative's family. But your family's situation really can't be delayed. The longer you delay, the more rumors will fly. It will definitely become more and more difficult for Huairu to marry into the city."

"Sister Wang, you are closer to me than my own sister!" Qin Lao San was overjoyed and promised benefits: "Sister Wang, don't worry, I will definitely not treat you unfairly after the matter is done!"

These conditions were much better than those of the wealthy son-in-law Jia Dongxu. The whole family was smiling, except Qin Huairu, whose smile was forced and she was worried in her heart.

At first she thought that Matchmaker Wang was hired by Li Ge, but now the conditions of the man described by Matchmaker Wang don't match her at all.

Ever since she had an affair with Widow Li, and then the Jia family broke off the engagement, Qin Huairu's status in the family plummeted. Her family members were all hostile to her and she felt like her life was a year in a day. Now she just hoped that Brother Li would take her to live a good life.

The more Qin Huairu thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She really wanted to burst into tears. Was she really not destined to enjoy life as those gossipy women in the village said?

Huai Ru's mother urged anxiously, "What are you thinking? You are so happy that you are silly! Why don't you go get a letter of introduction?"

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and you will regret it if you miss it.

Qin Huairu's rosy lips moved, but in the end she didn't have the courage to refuse, because she knew very well that if she dared to refuse, her father would slap her in the face in the blink of an eye.

Maybe this is my fate! Qin Huairu sighed in her heart for a while, and had to accept her fate, so she planned to go out and get a letter of introduction.

At this time, matchmaker Wang suddenly spoke up: "The man's surname is Han. If you are compatible, we can get married today."

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu looked at Matchmaker Wang reflexively, her face instantly revealing an unconcealed joy, and she was overjoyed: I knew that Brother Li liked me so much, he would definitely not abandon me! I, Qin Huairu, will finally escape from the sea of ​​suffering and live a happy life!

Then, Qin Huairu pursed her lips tightly, trying hard to suppress the laughter in her heart, and suddenly accelerated her running, running as fast as if she was being chased by a wolf.

Seeing this, Huairu's mother shook her head and laughed happily: "Look how happy this child is!"
