Chapter 50 Likes to Madame Golden
"Pu ?? ??" Lei Xiangren choked and coughed, spitting out the tea in his mouth. He wiped his mouth and took a peek at his parents' expressions, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh. "Matchmaker Jin, you must be mistaken."
Lei Daqiang's face was flushed red. It was unknown if it was due to embarrassment or anger.
Mrs Zhao and Madam Qian lowered their heads and laughed secretly, they could not hold their laughter any longer until their faces were red.
Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee looked at each other. They already had three grandchildren, and there were still people coming to matchmaking?
Lei Xiangyi stuttered: "Matchmaker Jin, did you make a mistake?"
Matchmaker Jin acted as if she did not see the change in everyone's expression and waved her hand: "How could I be mistaken? Wouldn't I smash my own signboard if I made a mistake? The girl knows your family, too. "It's not that I'm boasting, but that the girl's appearance is first-class. She's gentle and amiable, especially so with her first-rate culinary skills. When she comes to your house, your entire family will be able to enjoy life." As she spoke, she looked at Lei Daqiang.
Lei Daqiang didn't know whether to stay or leave, as though he was sitting on pins and needles. However, the words' gentle ',' beautiful 'and' twenty taels of silver 'kept echoing in his mind.
Madam Du finally regained her senses at this point. She stood up and glared at Matchmaker Jin, "Scram! Such a good girl, yet you're telling her to go to someone else! "
The smile on Matchmaker Jin's face dimmed, and her cold gaze landed on her face, and she said calmly: "Big sis, why are you so angry? Brother Lei hasn't said anything yet. "
"Scram, I ??"
"Mother!" Lei Xianglee was shocked, he anxiously stopped her and whispered into her ear, "Don't be rash! If we offend Matchmaker Jin, what about my marriage with Fifth Brother and Little Sister? "
She could not understand what Lei Xianglee was saying, "What does your marriage have to do with her? Get out of the way! "
Matchmaker Jin sat there steadily and smiled at Lei Xianglee. Finally, someone with a clear mind.
Lei Xianglee anxiously said: "Listen to me. Matchmaker Jin was the most famous matchmaker in the town. She must have known other matchmakers. Think about it, what would happen if she said one bad word to the other matchmakers? It's fine if Fifth Brother and I are men, but my reputation definitely ca
ot be ruined. "
Madam Du quivered, her mind was finally clear, and there was endless fear. However, the anger and unwillingness in her heart did not disappear.
"Matchmaker Jin, our boss does not have any plans to take a wife, please go ahead." Madam Du suppressed her anger and gestured outside the door with her right hand. If she could, she would have thrown Matchmaker Jin out.
Matchmaker Jin sneered inside her heart. The person who had asked her to make a promise to pay her eight taels of silver when the deal was completed was more than twice the usual price as a matchmaker. The gap between Lei Daqiang and the young lady was too big. Originally, she didn't have much confidence, but due to the attitude that the Madam Du had towards her, she had to settle this matter.
She put down the Madam Du and ignored him, looking towards Lei Daqiang, "Brother Ley, I didn't have any ill intentions today. You will know once you have heard the name of my Matchmaker Jin that my Matchmaker Jin never lies. Otherwise, my name wouldn't be so well-known. "Tell me, am I right?"
His little son and only daughter were all his treasures, so he did not dare offend Matchmaker Jin and could only nod her head awkwardly. "Yes, I know that you also have good intentions Matchmaker Jin, but ??" He and Madam Du had been together for so many years, and their relationship was rather deep.
Madam Du glared at him, "Old man, why do you care about her?"
Matchmaker Jin looked at Lei Chuntao who was in a daze and said gently: "It's better if you let this lady leave first."
Lei Chuntao was already scared witless by the atmosphere and quickly went back to her own room.
Matchmaker Jin confidently told Lei Daqiang: "Before I came, I had asked about your family's situation clearly. There are three unmarried ones in your family. Whether they marry or marry, they all need money. The fifth young master was studying, so he needed more money. The sum total was not a small sum. Sister Du knows how to be a housekeeper, but she doesn't save money. " She glanced at Madam Du meaningfully. It was one thing for her to be stingy to others, but another to be stingy to her own family.
Madam Du said in a cold voice: "Matchmaker Jin, an outsider like you doesn't have the qualifications to meddle in our family's affairs."
"Brother Lei, it's good for you guys that the girl has entered the door," Matchmaker Jin continued, "Why don't you listen first? If you don't agree, can I force you to marry her? I see that Sister Du is a little uncomfortable, so why don't we invite her to rest first? "
Lei Daqiang looked at Madame Zhao and Madam Qian, and said: "Help your mother-in-law return to her room."
The Madam Du felt that something was wrong, "Lei Daqiang, you dare!"
"Hurry up!" Lei Daqiang glared as Lady Zhao and Madam Qian hurriedly dragged Madam Du on her left and right to leave.
Lei Xiangren, Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee had not left. The appearance of the Matchmaker Jin was too sudden and too strange, causing them to be a little suspicious. They too, wanted to hear what the Matchmaker Jin was trying to do.
Matchmaker Jin's expression softened, and her smile became more sincere, "I am a man of my words. If there is anything that sounds bad, please forgive me, Brother Lei."
Her attitude had always been kind, and Lei Daqiang could not help but feel discomfort in his heart. He nodded, "Matchmaker Jin is being too serious, if there's anything you want to say, just say it."
Matchmaker Jin said, "Money is not something that can be saved. Brother Lei, and your three nephews. If your family's situation continues like this, will you be able to gather the money for your marriage? Fine, even if you have enough money now, do you still want your sons and grandsons to continue to suffer like this in the future? There were also two nieces without a proper headdress on their heads. Don't you want to be nicer to your wives? "
Lei Xianglee did not utter a word. He knew that his parents had some money in their possession, but it was not enough for the three of them to have a happy occasion. Moreover, Ol 'Five spent a lot of money on books. The main reason why Madam Du was stingy was because of Ol 'Five.
Lei Xiangren and Lei Xiangyi both nodded slightly.
"There's money there, but it can't be made. We have to think of a way to make it make money." "I was going to say that the young lady who gave Brother Lei was a young miss from a big family who accompanied her to the Maidservant. That young miss thought highly of her and agreed to let her marry someone when she was twenty, but that young miss became pregnant very quickly and stayed by her side for another three years. After waiting for the young lady to release her, the young lady's father died of illness and had to be filial for three years. The girl was twenty-six now. Because of this, the girl had never talked about her in-laws even at such a young age. However, this girl is indeed first class. She has learned a lot by following the Miss, including to recuperate with food, especially regarding management. "
Pausing for a moment, she continued, "If you don't mind, if it wasn't for this young lady's age, I wouldn't even be willing to speak of her to you, Brother Ley."
This sounded more sincere.
Lei Daqiang was moved. Recuperate with food? Didn't that mean his body could become healthier and live longer in the future?
Matchmaker Jin's Fiery Eyes of Truth, how could she not see through it? She added more firewood, "Brother Lei, think about it. This girl was knowledgeable and good at managing other people's businesses. Once she entered, she would definitely be able to lead a family and lead them through life in full swing. Brother Ley isn't that old either. If he is old, it would be a happy occasion. "
The Lei Xiangren brothers looked at each other, feeling puzzled. Was it because the Matchmaker Jin's mouth was too talkative, or was it because they were too easily agitated? The three of them all felt that this girl was really good. However, this matter was related to their own parents, so the three of them did not dare express their opinions. From time to time, they would secretly glance at Lei Daqiang.
After he finished saying what he needed to say, the Matchmaker Jin did not speak anymore. She just drank her tea slowly and gave Lei Daqiang time to think.
Lei Daqiang was silent for a moment, then asked: "As for the betrothal gift?"
The Matchmaker Jin replied, "Lady Wei is considerate. She said that she is not much weaker than the average person." Only then did she name the girl.
Lei Daqiang tested the waters again: "If I can see her once ??"
Matchmaker Jin laughed heartily, "This is easy to deal with. "Set a date. I'll call someone to town and you two can meet at a distance."
"Lei Daqiang, you dare!" Madam Du's screams came out from the room. She had been eavesdropping.
After a while, she rushed out of the room.
Lei Daqiang had heard so many good things about Lady Wei just now, but now that he heard Madam Du's reaction and thought about Madam Du's various unreasonable actions in the past, his heart turned even more toward Lady Wei and he berated her, "What are you shouting about?"
Madam Du didn't dare to make a sound. She only looked at him with an expression of disbelief.
Matchmaker Jin stood up, "I will go back first, I will accompany Miss Wei to the teahouse in the morning of the day after tomorrow."
Lei Daqiang courteously sent him to the entrance of the courtyard, "Thank you, Matchmaker Jin."
Once the Matchmaker Jin left, the Madam Du finally erupted and threw herself onto Lei Daqiang with a loud shout, "Lei Daqiang, I'm going to kill you ?? ??"
Lei Daqiang's neck was cut by her nails, leaving behind a bloody scar. He gritted his teeth in pain and pushed Madam Du away, clutching his neck as he shouted furiously, "You bitch!"
"Bang!" Madam Du crashed into the table and fell to the ground.
"Ah ?? ??" Madam Du crawled back up and rushed towards Lei Daqiang again.
"Father!"
"Mother!"
The hall was in chaos.
"..."
Qin Mian sat behind the counter, collecting money while secretly laughing. Today was the day Matchmaker Jin would go to the old dwelling. As long as he thought about the scene at the Lei Family, he was extremely happy.
The customers who came in to eat looked at him in amusement.
Seeing that Qin Mianxin was in a good mood, Zheng Liu smiled and went over to the counter, "Big Boss, are you going to eat spicy hot food tonight?" Because he was busy with business, the restaurant provided his and Wang Shun's lunch and di
er. However, they did not usually eat at their own restaurant. Very rarely, Qin Mian would take the initiative to let them eat in the store.
