Chapter 16
Grandma...

No matter in which era, women are very taboo about their age, especially older women.

Matchmaker Lin is a well-known matchmaker in these ten miles and eight villages. She followed her mother-in-law after she married into her husband's family.In the past two years, her mother-in-law's health was failing, so all the troubles were handed over to her.She is also capable, and almost every family in these ten miles and eight villages will look for her for happy events.Although the villagers don't have much money, they can't afford to accumulate more money. Anyway, she definitely earns more than digging in the ground.

It's just that Lin Matchmaker is thirty-two years old, which is not very old, but she is most afraid of others saying that she is old.Because there is no shortage of money on hand, Matchmaker Lin likes to spend a lot of money to dress herself up.Look at her new bright red dress, which she bought only last month.Then look at the sterling silver hairpin on the head, it is not comparable to the copper hairpin and wooden hairpin.

"Who do you call grandma, little girl? You, you..." Mo Qianrui's meticulous attire actually turned into a grandma in Mo Qianrui's mouth?

Mo Qianrui didn't have the slightest affection for the matchmaker. When she saw her jumping, she immediately pretended to be dazed, and said, "Of course I'm calling you. What's wrong with you, grandma?"

A mouthful of blood was choked in Matchmaker Lin's throat, unable to go up or down, choking her so much that she rolled her eyes.It was A Niang who was kinder, and when she saw this, she hurriedly helped out: "Matchmaker Lin, you have also seen that my eldest girl is too young to understand, so let's let this marriage go for now."

"No, no, it's actually not too young." Compared with age, making money is obviously more important.After hearing Aniang's words, Matchmaker Lin immediately came to her senses, the business was more important than business, "First make an appointment, then you can get married after a while, just in time, you can save some rations for the family."

This is a bit too much.

A Niang suddenly lowered her face, as if she was going to sell her daughter.Although no matter which family is looking forward to having a son to take care of him, but she has no ability to give birth to a son, but it hurts her two daughters deeply.Her family is poor and there is nothing she can do, but she can't do the thing of selling her daughter.Matchmaker Lin's words were obviously suspected of stabbing her heart.

"Matchmaker Lin, let me tell you the truth. My eldest girl won't get engaged until she is 15 years old, and this person has to wait until she is 16 years old at least. You should go back now and come back in five years."

"Five years? How can we wait?" Matchmaker Lin became anxious when she heard this. "There are a lot of girls in the village who get married at the age of twelve or thirteen. There is no need to raise them until they are 15, and it costs food."

Considering that there is only one Lin matchmaker in the nearby village who can talk about marriage, A Niang is unwilling to say nothing.But seeing that Matchmaker Lin was too dishonest, she couldn't help getting angry: "Matchmaker Lin, is it because I didn't understand what I said? Anyway, my eldest girl is still young. As for the other people, they can just wait if they want to. Waiting for love, our family is not rare."

"What you said... oh, what a wonderful marriage, and even more kisses. Your eldest girl will definitely not suffer when she marries, and she will enjoy the blessings." Although A Niang's attitude is firm, Matchmaker Lin still wants to marry her. Go for it one more time.

"Whether it's good or bad, even if the official's family takes a fancy to my eldest girl, it will take five years! Matchmaker Lin, please invite me first, and I trouble you to make a special trip, and the two money will be used as errands Pay me." A Niang really lost her patience, she managed to hold back two big coins and stuffed them into Matchmaker Lin's hands, then half-pushed him out of the courtyard gate.

Lin Matchmaker's face was a bit ugly for the iron-clad marriage to be rejected.He lowered his head and looked at the two big coins in his hand. After all, the trip was not in vain, he stamped his feet, turned around and left.

Mo Qianrui was really dumbfounded when she saw that Auntie pushed Matchmaker Lin out in a hurry, and then closed the courtyard door.

In the original owner's memory, A Niang was a very gentle person, not to mention losing her temper on weekdays, even speaking loudly was rare.Even if some villagers bully A Niang occasionally, she mostly chooses to be patient.I never thought that such a good-tempered mother would be uncharacteristically strong today.

"Big girl, come here. Tell me, did you hear any gossip outside?"

After sending Matchmaker Lin away, Auntie did not let Mo Qianrui go. Although she herself was not happy about this marriage, she still believed that it was up to her parents to decide.As a daughter's family, she has no right to meddle in this matter, let alone quarrel with the matchmaker.

"Aniang, I just heard that there are guests at home, nothing else." Mo Qianrui didn't dare to tell the truth, but he didn't dare to lie directly, so he could only play the sidelines.

"Hmph, don't do any weird things, you girl. If it wasn't for Aniang who drove her away in a hurry, wouldn't you be quarreling with Matchmaker Lin face to face?"

Mo Qianrui was startled, Aunt guessed right, she would never agree to get married.This has nothing to do with age, nor with the other party's conditions, it's just because she already has her own heart, except for Tang Yanxiu, she can't accept anyone, even if the other party is extremely outstanding.

"You!"

Seeing Mo Qianrui's guilty expression, how could Aunt not understand?In fact, she was thinking of tactfully rejecting this marriage, but she was not wary of Mo Qianrui rushing in suddenly.Rather than letting Mo Qianrui quarrel with Matchmaker Lin face to face, it's better for her to be the bad guy.Anyway, she is a woman who is married and has a child, so it doesn't matter if she is a bit aggressive.The reputation of this unmarried girl is extremely important.

"Aniang, what's so good about being married, Da Ya wants to stay at home all the time, and will take care of my father and mother in the future."

Anyway, Auntie had already excused her young age to avoid the marriage, so she simply followed this excuse and pretended to be tender and cute in order to get away with it.

Sure enough, A Niang still has a good temper after all, seeing Mo Qianrui acting like a little girl, no matter how angry she was, she disappeared.He stretched out his hand and patted Mo Qianrui's body twice, and the matter was over.

Seeing that Auntie wasn't angry anymore, Mo Qianrui didn't stop there.

The appearance of this body is exactly the same as in her previous life. If she is in her twenties, her appearance is indeed in the upper middle class. If she dresses up well, it is appropriate to be called a beauty.The problem is that she is only ten years old now, and her ten-year-old child was in the third grade of elementary school in her previous life. Even if there is really a ignorant love, this marriage...is it too exaggerated?
A little worried, he ran to A Niang's room, found the only small bronze mirror in the house, and Mo Qianrui looked at himself carefully.

Slender arms and legs, no flesh on his body.She has a pretty oval face, but her skin is a bit dark. In her previous life, she was a little girl in the city, but now she is a country girl. It is normal to be darker.The facial features are not very real, but it can be vaguely seen that it is a bunch of childish.Coupled with the yellow hair due to malnutrition, and this gray old clothes...

Mo Qianrui really didn't want to slander herself, but what kind of weird eyes did she have to look at her, a bean sprouts that didn't grow?

Wait, just now that matchmaker Lin seemed to say something like kissing and kissing?
After thinking about it in detail, Mo Qianrui's face suddenly darkened.
