Chapter 524: Chapter 524: Lover’s Affection, Concubine’s Intentions
Everyone suddenly realized!
In the shop, the betrothal gifts brought by Ms. Wang were neatly lined up, and half a carrying pole of gifts were scattered around. No wonder Ironsmith Fan’s face looked terrible.
“What are you talking about, Third Sister-in-law? This is my son Cheng’er coming to propose, how could I not come as his mother?”
Ms. Wang glared at Liu Sisi, looking as if she wanted to eat her alive.
She originally thought that by marrying her Third Son off to a sub-captain, her family would somehow benefit. However, she didn’t expect to receive a letter from Sisi yesterday. Today’s proposal would hinge on whether she would handle her nephew Gao’er’s schooling!
That’s why she was here at this moment.
“Mother, thank you, Mother…”
Di Cheng was very excited, almost speechless. The happiest person today would be none other than him, with Ms. Wang’s presence.
Naturally sharp-eyed, the matchmaker immediately saw through the situation and hurried to congratulate Ironsmith Fan with a smile on her face.
“The magpie is chattering in the plum tree, and today’s happy event has fallen on Xiao Feng. I, the old woman, will congratulate Brother Fan first!”
The matchmaker pretended to perform a bow, but Ironsmith Fan’s face still looked bad, and he glared at Ms. Wang and snorted coldly.
“I’m just a blacksmith, what joyous event could there be for me? Don’t make fun of me.”
The matchmaker had long been accustomed to thick-skinned dealings, and wasn’t intimidated by Ironsmith Fan’s cold face.
Immediately, she stepped forward with a smile: “Ironsmith Fan, you’re not right about that. Isn’t my Big Sister here today to bring you a great happy event? Look …”
As the two were chatting over there, Liu Sisi’s eyes swept over the scene and rested on Ms. Wang.
“It’s right for Second Sister-in-law to say that. Cheng’er is your eldest son, so it’s proper for your Second Sister-in-law to come out.”
Ms. Wang’s face was unhappy, and she interrupted Liu Sisi’s words when no one was paying attention to her.
“Enough nonsense! You asked me to come here, and now I’m here. What about the silver you promised… ”
Liu Sisi smiled indifferently: “Don’t worry! As long as things go well, I’ll keep my promise when we go back.”
Over there, the matchmaker was still talking non-stop!
What she highlighted, of course, was Liu Sisi.
“This is the sub-captain’s wife, personally present today. Brother, your face is both broad and wide. Besides, this is a real official… ”
“Look at these betrothal gifts, although not daring to claim how good they are, but to compare them in this small town, it would be hard to find better conditions… ”
“Moreover, this Di Cheng is Lord Sub-Captain’s own nephew. He has been following him all along, and although he is a nephew, he has been treated like his own son. Look at this gift list, a lot of money has been invested… ”
Ironsmith Fan took the gift list, examined it carefully, then went into the inner chamber. After a while, he came out and directly invited everyone to the backyard.
The matchmaker’s eyes lit up immediately!
There’s hope!
You must know that Ironsmith Fan’s daughter Xiao Feng is considered one of the top beauties in this small town, not only beautiful but also very strong.
The matchmaker has nearly worn out her doorstep, but hasn’t even been offered a cup of clear water.
She came here with the attitude of trying it out, not expecting that after saying a few words, everyone was invited to the back hall for tea. It seems that this matter is nine out of ten settled!
