When Mrs. Yun saw that Monroe was confused about this matter, she couldn't understand it, but there was nothing she could do. She kept talking but refused to listen, and she couldn't fight.
Old Mrs. Yun reluctantly told Mr. Yun about Monroe's attitude. Mr. Yun was also surprised and wondered if Monroe, the child, was stupid in studying. Girls shouldn't have such big opinions.
She shouldn't have been allowed to study for so many years in the first place. What would a girl do if she knew so much? It would be difficult to control her if she knew too much. But this matter cannot be left to her, and she must be persuaded to change her mind.
"She always said she was looking for the person in front of me, but who should she look for...it can't be Silly Jiuzi, right? Erniang has shown this kind of thinking many times."
Mr. Yun shook his head at Mrs. Yun's guess. He didn't believe that Monroe would fall in love with Silly Jiuzi.
"What a beautiful idea! She mentioned it, but she asked me to push it back a long time ago. How can Monroe marry him?"
"Then who could it be? There's no one in front of you. Could it be Yu Haizi? I went out that May Day and saw them talking and singing together. It seemed quite right."
"It's...very possible. I said something seemed wrong to me during this period. Maybe that's what happened, otherwise she wouldn't be so stubborn.
When I went to the city that time, I saw Haizi trying so hard to save her, and I felt like there was something going on here.
From tomorrow on, keep a close eye on her and don't let her go to the compound, let alone be with Haizi.
An Anxin taught her needlework in the backyard. She was so old that she couldn't do anything. When it comes to marriage matters, her parents make the final decision and the matchmaker cannot listen to her own opinions. There is no point in making trouble. "
Mr. Yun showed a resolute attitude, which made Mrs. Yun feel a little pity for Monroe. After all, she had always doted on Monroe all these years, so now she was eager to defend Monroe.
"It's impossible. This kid, Monroe, is kind-hearted and sensible. He can't be so confused."
Seeing that Mr. Yun wanted to discipline Monroe strictly, but now he didn't answer, Grandma Yun further explained to his son.
"Yu Haizi's child is really good, but his father died early. But he is too young to have such a thing happen to him.
I think we are just making wild guesses. Don’t accuse the child wrongly. Let’s find a way to continue to persuade Monroe. "
"It's better to be on guard. It turns out that I really thought about marrying the fourth girl to Haizi, but I can't think of it now. Not to mention my age, I won't get much rich in the future, so forget it.
This matter is settled like this. Mom, go and talk to your sister-in-law and take good care of her. Your daughter is old and you have to control her. You can't let her lose her temper. Even if there is no such thing, you can't relax the discipline of the child. "
"It's really okay to marry the fourth girl to Haizi. What's the point of worrying about her age? There are plenty of older wives. The fourth girl can work and make a living, and her parents can also agree."
"I asked the matchmaker to introduce her to the fourth girl. If I really can't find a good one, I'll wait. The key is that doing so will irritate Monroe even more. If she really gets into trouble, she won't be able to do anything about it. We can't be confused."
After Master Yun finished speaking, he excused himself to do other things. Mrs. Yun was stunned in the room for a long time. She really didn't know what to do. She thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure it out. She sighed and went back to her room.
Two days later, Matchmaker Bao came to the Yun family compound again. This time, not only did a message come from the Guo family that they fully agreed to the marriage, but they actually introduced a suitable family to the fourth girl.
The husband's house is less than thirty miles away from here. He has more than a dozen acres of land, employs two men, and lives a comfortable life.
There is a son and a daughter in the family. The daughter is still young and the son is also twenty years old this year. From all aspects, they are a good match.
Second Master Yun took on the responsibility of the head of the family this time and readily agreed to the two marriages. The rest of the Yun family did not express any objection.
It seems that even if this matter is settled like this, it will be useless even if others object. There are thousands of people in the family, but only one person is in charge. So the Yun family hosted the matchmaker for a meal and made requests for some details.
"Although birthdays and horoscopes have been exchanged, we still have to find someone to approve a batch. The family the fourth girl is looking for is so far away from our village, so we still have to inquire. Now that we are in the Republic of China, the two families also have to see what the child is like. .
Let the children also meet and see what they look like. So our matter is not finalized yet, let alone let them pay the betrothal gift first. Only after all these processes have been completed can the final decision be made. "
Mr. Yun drank a lot with Matchmaker Bao, and even the red envelopes were quite big. This made Matchmaker Bao very satisfied. She said that no matter what Mr. Yun asked for, she would communicate it in time and try her best to satisfy it.
"Don't worry, brother, everything will be done as you said. If there is anything wrong, it will be blamed on the girl."
Matchmaker Bao's face turned slightly red after drinking, and she even changed her name to Second Master Yun.
"Thank you, Wife-in-law of the Bao family, for working so hard on the children. My old lady will give you a reward when things are done."
Old Mrs. Yun actually participated in sending Matchmaker Bao out of the gate, which made Matchmaker Bao even more flattered.
"You, old man, are going to meet each other now. Who is following whom? Is it Brother Yun? Just wait and see. In two days, I will bring the eldest young master of the Guo family and ask his father to come too. Let the two families meet, including You’re satisfied.”
Matchmaker Bao left the Yun family compound with the joy of success. This time she got a lot of benefits from being a matchmaker. After all, both families were wealthy families, so it was normal to reward her with a few small coins.
Things went smoothly. Two days later, matchmaker Bao led shopkeeper Guo and his son to the Yun family compound. Of course, the Yun family had to warmly welcome them, not to mention that the Guo family also brought a considerable meeting gift.
During this period, Mr. Zhao, who went to the family where the fourth girl was going to marry to inquire about the news, also came back and told the Yun family that the family was indeed very good. As matchmaker Bao said, it was a family that was going through life.
The son of that family couldn't find a suitable one for a while, so the child didn't get married. The Yun family has already approved of this marriage, and they are just waiting for the matchmaker to arrive to set a date, pay the betrothal gift, and meet the in-laws.
Only Monroe's marriage has not yet been finalized. Of course, the main reason is Monroe herself. She insists on finding her husband's family right in front of her. The reason is that Monroe does not want to leave home.
Seeing that there was still a chance, Yun Erniang also expressed her disapproval of the marriage. But this further strengthened Mr. Yun's determination to marry off Monroe. She felt that the girl was too old to keep.
Grandma still felt sorry for her granddaughter, but she couldn't find a reason not to marry, and she felt that there was no suitable one in front of her, so she had no choice but to agree with Master Yun's decision. The opinions of other people in the Yun family can only be used as reference and do not count.
Just like that, Mr. Yun took the initiative and invited the old shopkeeper of the Guo family's pot-making and the Guo family's young master to come to the Yun family's compound for a blind date. In fact, this decision was a hint to the Guo family and the Yun family that they basically agreed to the marriage.
Of course the Guo family understood it and decided on a date. The Guo family and his son came to the Yun family compound as promised.
When Shopkeeper Guo and his entourage arrived at the main room in the backyard of the Yun family, the Yun family had already been waiting in the living room. Matchmaker Bao introduced them one by one. After everyone sat down as guest and host, they gradually got down to business.
"Mr. Yun is really grateful to Mr. Guo for visiting his humble home in person! Mr. Yun is also very enthusiastic about Mr. Guo and the family business and admires him very much.
Mr. Guo's arrival from a long distance shows his sincerity towards the marriage of Mr. Ling and his daughter. On behalf of the whole family, Yun expressed deep respect and welcome to Mr. Guo, and also hoped that the life-long event of the two children would have a successful outcome. "
After Mr. Yun's warm welcome speech, Shopkeeper Guo was also very happy. He felt that Mr. Yun was indeed a well-deserved and open-minded person. It was his son's blessing to get into this marriage.
