Zhang Chunhua and Lin Daniu looked at each other and smiled politely.
Zhang Chunhua laughed and said, "I also said that Wanwan is not young anymore. Our family is so powerful, but we just can't bear to let go of our children. Hahaha..."
Lin Daniu nodded lightly, "Wanwan is still a little young, and the child doesn't want to get married so early."
Lin Wanwan sat aside with a complicated mood.
"You can't rush this matter. You have to take your time." Matchmaker Li smiled and broke the silence. "There is no harm in understanding it first."
"Yeah, why don't you just get to know her? Wanwan, tell me if it's true or not. It won't make any difference if you don't like her. If you don't like her, just look for her again. Don't be shy!" Zhang Chunhua said with a smile.
Lin Daniu knew his daughter Wanwan's thoughts, but he could not directly reject Matchmaker Li. After all, Matchmaker Li has some respect in Shili Baxiang. If she rejects her directly, she will inevitably be criticized in the village in the future. It would be bad for Lin Wanwan to find her husband's family in the future.
"Wanwan, you are a good girl, you are plump and beautiful, you are so lucky! Don't worry, I will help you find a good husband's family. Just take a look!" Matchmaker Li patted the back of Lin Wanwan's hand and said softly.
Lin Wanwan was silent for a moment. She knew that if she refused the marriage, Matchmaker Li would definitely not let it go. But she didn't want to make such a hasty decision about her life's major events.
Lin Wanwan took a deep breath, remembering what her stepmother said to her father, and slowly said, "Then let's take a look!"
This sentence seemed to stir up a thousand waves with one stone, and for a while, the atmosphere in the whole room became lively.
The stepmother Zhang Chunhua heard this and beamed with joy. She always felt that Wanwan was not young anymore and it was time to find a good husband. Plus the fortune teller said they were incompatible. Now that Wanwan has agreed to go and have a look, that's great. You don't have to try your best to drive her out.
Matchmaker Li was also overjoyed. She had put a lot of thought into this marriage, and now there was finally progress. How could she not be happy? She had already begun to plan in her mind to let Lin Wanwan meet the man.
Lin Daniu felt very reluctant when he saw the expressions of Zhang Chunhua and Li Matchmaker.
Lin Wanwan thought to herself, it's just to look at the man, nothing will happen to him, if you don't like him, just keep looking.
A forced smile appeared on her face, "Okay, then let's ask Matchmaker Li to arrange a meeting."
As soon as Lin Wanwan finished speaking, Zhang Chunhua and Matchmaker Li looked at each other with smiles on their faces. They had their own ideas in mind.
Although Lin Daniu was a little reluctant to give up, he also knew that Lin Wanwan was here for this family, and she didn't want to make things difficult for herself and create a gap with Zhang Chunhua.
"Then it's settled. Tomorrow, I'll ask the man to come over to your house and meet you. If I have anything else to do, I'll leave first." Matchmaker Li looked at everyone with a smile and stood up to go back.
"Then I'll trouble Mother Li!" Zhang Chunhua said and sent her out.
Lin Wanwan felt a little empty in her heart and didn't know whether she should go to Gu Yishen.
She stood in the yard, looking at the sky confusedly, thinking of the scene with Gu Yishen and what Gu Yishen said in her mind.
Lin Wanwan hesitated for a moment, but decided to go to Gu Yishen. But where should I look for it? He didn't say where he lived? Don't know where he might go?
After much deliberation, Lin Wanwan decided to try her luck by the river. If they were destined, they might meet.
Lin Wanwan was very nervous. She didn't know whether she would meet Gu Yishen or how to speak when she saw him.
She came to the river and saw that the water was crystal clear and sparkling. From time to time, there were a few small fish swimming, and the big fish were all caught and eaten. In this year, there is a famine, and life is difficult for everyone. We catch and eat everything we can. The remaining small fish will be eaten when they are older.
Lin Wanwan waited for a long time, but did not see that familiar figure.
She felt a little disappointed, but still unwilling to leave like this. She decided to sit by the river and wait for Gu Yishen.
As time passed by, Lin Wanwan felt more and more uneasy in her heart.
She began to have random thoughts, wondering if Gu Yishen had left here and would never come back.
It happened that at this time, a familiar voice broke her thoughts, "Wanwan?"
Lin Wanwan raised her head and saw Gu Yishen. Her heart suddenly sank, as if there was a stone pressing on her chest, which was very uncomfortable.
She wanted to say it but didn't know how to speak, so she just looked at him silently.
"Lin Wanwan, what's wrong with you? Why don't you speak?" Gu Yishen didn't know how to comfort her.
Lin Wanwan felt like she had knocked over a cruet. She didn't know how to speak.
She felt very confused when she remembered that she had agreed to meet the man with Matchmaker Li. She didn't know if she had made the wrong decision, and she didn't know how to face Gu Yishen.
Lin Wanwan sighed, her red lips slightly opened, "I...I'm going on a blind date."
This sentence seemed to exhaust all Lin Wanwan's strength, and her voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible.
Gu Yi was stunned. He didn't expect Lin Wanwan to say this. The expectation in his heart suddenly dropped to freezing point, but he still pretended to be calm, "I...I know. I also have some bad news to tell you."
Lin Wanwan didn't dare to look into his eyes. She didn't know if she would break his heart, or if she would regret it. She only knew that Zhang Chunhua tried every means to get rid of her, which was very difficult for her father to do. Now that I'm married, maybe it won't be so difficult for my father.
Lin Wanwan sat silently by the river, staring at the water in a daze.
Gu Yishen felt uncomfortable, "My mother also asked a matchmaker to marry me. The custom here is that a woman can only marry a man if she likes him. I want to tell my mother that I like you, but I Mom said it depends on what the matchmaker wants. I can’t help it. I might let you down."
"Does that mean that the woman doesn't like you, and I don't like that man either. So we still have a chance to be together?" Lin Wanwan seemed to have thought of a new idea.
"Maybe! But marriage requires the consent of parents. I was too impulsive at the time and said some mindless things to you. I hope you don't take it to heart and just pretend that I didn't say it."
Gu Yi's eyes averted, hoping that Lin Wanwan would not be affected by him and go on a blind date with peace of mind.
"You! How could you do this?"
Lin Wanwan was angry. Could it be that the first person she fell in love with in this place was a liar? It was Gu Yishen who said he liked her, and it was Gu Yishen who said she didn't like him.
Gu Yishen didn't dare to refute and didn't know what to say.
Then the two of them stopped talking.
The two of them were silent for a long time, until the sun set and the sky became dark.
