Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Chapter 234: Matchmaking

Xu Heshan will be 24 next year. Su Zhumao was one year younger than him, but after the New Year, he will be twenty three, which is not young anymore.

Ji Jianyun mentioned what Su Anbang discussed with these men to Su Danhong after he returned.

Su Danhong laughed. There are so many girls waiting to be married.

She knew what Ji Jianyun meant. Didn't he want her to help with the matchmaking? But she didn't want to get involved in things like marriage. If it worked out well, it would be good, but if it didn't work out, it would be a lifelong regret. She didnt like getting involved in this kind of thing.

Just help to see if theyre suitable, then just let them go their own ways, Ji Jianyun explained.

They were not getting any older. If they got married, they would be better workers for him.

Okay, I'll go talk to Aunt Yang, Su Danhong said.

Everyone who wanted a matchmaker would go to Aunt Cai, the one who could make dried persimmons. Everyone said that she was good at keeping matchmaking, but Su Danhong did not think so.

First, Su Danhong was not very optimistic about the matchmaking she did for Ji Yunyun and Li Zhi.

Everyone thought that Ji Yunyun would definitely change and get better after getting married, but it was hard to say if that actually happened. When some girls lived with their parents, they were indeed lazy and had bad tempers. However, after they got married, for some reason, they became better and could take good care of the whole family.

But for some people, after getting married, they would become more extreme than when they were living with their family.

Regarding Ji Yunyun, Su Danhong believed that she had not treated her badly. Ji Yunyun just didn't like her, and thats why Su Danhong wasnt going to try and please her. She would just be an outsider looking into Ji Yunyuns life.

Su Danhong wasnt going to speak ill of people behind their backs, but she felt that there would be big problems sooner or later between Ji Yunyun and Li Zhi.

But she never mentioned these things to anyone, not even to Ji Jianyun. After all, Ji Yunyun was his sister, and Su Danhong was also the sister-in-law. It would be too outrageous for her to say these things so soon after they got married.

Thus, she simply said nothing.

In the afternoon, she went over to talk to Aunt Yang. Of course, in a subtle way.

Aunt Yang expressed regret, If Daya had been a few years older, it would have been great.

She was telling the truth. Her eldest granddaughter,Yang Daya, was now helping Su Jindang's shop.

Its been almost two years since she started working there. She went there when she was 13, and would be 15 soon. Because the food there was very good, she was taller. She was better looking than many girls in the village. It helped that second Su sister-in-law was not a stingy person. Yang Daya was not lazy at work. She did everything as long as she saw there was something to do. She would clean up the house, and second Su sister-in-law also did not need to worry about cleaning up the shop. Therefore, when second Su sister-in-law saw that her clothes did not fit, she would buy something for her.

The clothes she wore were much better than the other girls of the same age in the village. Last time she came back, she even brought five yuan to her parents.

Da Ya is still young now, Su Danhong said.

This era was really good. In her previous life, if she was 16, she would already be engaged and married.

16 was relatively late. Marriage sometimes happened even earlier, at 15 years old, or even 13 or 14 years old.

When she thought about it now, those rules in her previous life were really too much. She could still be considered a child despite getting married so early. No wonder many first wives in her previous life died young or endured a lot of hardships before 30 years old. However, those who could live to the age of 40 were considered to have lived a long life.

There are other suitable people, but the conditions at home are relatively average, Aunt Yang said.

According to Jianyun, she just has to be a good person and virtuous. She doesnt need to do anything. Itll be enough if she is able to take care of the family. Both men have good jobs, Su Danhong said.

She, the boss lady, was very confident about their jobs.

Su Zhumao and Xu Heshan both worked under Ji Jianyun. Once this year is over, their wages would rise to 40 yuan.

They both received 30 yuan before, and they were going to receive 10 yuan more now, which was a lot.

Even though prices have risen a lot in recent years, with a salary of 40 yuan, they could support a family of five. They could live a very good life, and they could eat meat every now and then!

Su Danhong believed that it would be easy for these two bachelors to find wives. On the contrary, if she introduced them to someone, then her requirements would be extremely high. She was a woman, and she knew what kind of impression it would leave if the woman couldnt support his work, or even held him back.

There was a saying that was absolutely true: a woman marrying the wrong man would have her whole life ruined, and a man marrying the wrong wife would have three generations ruined.

I have two potential options. One is Ji Mayis family from our village. The eldest daughter is 22 this year, but the family is very, very poor. I think the betrothal gift will cost a lot, Aunt Yang said.

Where is the other one from? Su Danhong asked after thinking about the situation.

The other is my grand niece from Dawa Village. She is 20 this year and her family is poor. But its my cousins family. I can assure you, shell be good! Aunt Yang told her.

When will aunt be free? Lets invite the girls from these two families to your place for tea, and I'll treat them to sweets, Su Danhong said with a smile.

She couldnt use her place, it's better to use Aunt Yang's place.

Then it's better to choose a day soon. How about tomorrow? Aunt Yang said.

Aunt Yang didn't hesitate since she felt that if these two young men could get Su Danhong and Ji Jianyun to help them, then they must be good potential husbands.

Okay. Su Danhong nodded.

The next morning, Ji Yulan from Ji Mayi's family was called over by Aunt Yang. Aunt Yang had a good relationship with the family, so Ji Yulan came.

As soon as Ji Yulan came over, she saw that Su Danhong was there. She definitely knew who Su Danhong was. She pursed her lips into a slight smile and greeted Su Danhong and then said nothing else.

Su Danhong talked to her. Ji Yulan, who was already quite old, immediately understood what was going on, and her face turned pale. My father said that we will need a lot for the betrothal.

She was a 22 year old girl. How could she not know what her father meant? This was almost like selling his daughter off.

Su Danhong looked at her and said, Lets not mention the betrothal yet. Let me ask you, if you get married, how will you get along with your maternal family in the future?

How can a married daughter who was thrown away get along with them? Ji Yulan asked back simply.

Su Danhong grabbed a handful of white rabbit candy for her and asked her to go back, Go back and think about it clearly. Once you think it over, you can come back at this time tomorrow.
