Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

"Madam Li, the family I’m proposing for may not have the best conditions, but they’re decent enough. Your family is quite well-off, so I guess you wouldn’t mind. When choosing a son-in-law, it’s more important to look at character. I can vouch with my chest that the kid from the Chang Family is a good boy, steady and hardworking. He’s studied for a few years and helps out at the family’s shop, getting along well with the neighbors. If your daughter marries into their family, she definitely won’t be at a disadvantage. His parents are also kind people, and they’ll surely treat their daughter-in-law well."

After hearing this, the other two matchmakers weren’t pleased and immediately came forward to pitch their own proposals.

"Sister, there’s some truth to what she said, but the families I introduce all meet those conditions. They’re good people, kind-hearted, so you can rest assured. They’re definitely good matches. When there’s a good choice, you should pick the best, right? This family owns a winery with good conditions, and they’re compatible with your family too. What a great match."

This matchmaker could thrive in this area by finding matches for families, so their talking skills were strong, none of them were weak.

"Sister, if you ask me, the County Magistrate’s nephew is the best choice. With this connection to the County Magistrate, your family will be a cut above the rest in everything, able to thrive anywhere."

Upon hearing the matchmakers’ words, Chuntao’s mother was delighted.

Who dares to say her daughter can’t get married?

Look at this, they’re all competing for her now!

Chuntao’s father sat to the side listening to these matchmakers boast about their goods, feeling like his ears were about to grow calluses. His wife seemed quite pleased, putting on airs, as if feeling proud that their daughter was in demand.

He coughed twice and asked, "What did our daughter say?"

With this reminder, Chuntao’s mother realized she had just gotten a bit carried away and quickly said to the two matchmakers, "Matchmaker Wang, Matchmaker Zhang, I’m really sorry."

Upon hearing this, the two matchmakers understood. They had chosen the one with the poorest conditions.

Feeling somewhat displeased, they said, "Sister, you should think this over carefully. Marriage is a big deal and shouldn’t be rushed. If this doesn’t work out, there are other options."

"Yes, yes, sister, marriage is a lifelong matter. You should choose someone with comparable conditions to match your family."

Chuntao’s mother smiled, "Matchmaker Wang, Matchmaker Zhang, I’m really sorry, I also showed the pictures to my daughter and this is my daughter’s decision, so I can only trouble you both for a wasted trip."

As Chuntao’s mother spoke, she took two pieces of broken silver out of her embroidered pouch and handed them to the two matchmakers.

The two matchmakers accepted the silver, and reluctantly left.

Seeing the two matchmakers leave, the remaining Matchmaker Zhao was grinning widely, "Madam Li, Master Li, your daughter truly has good taste. The young man from the Chang Family is indeed excellent and well-matched with your daughter. They are truly a match made in heaven, handsome and beautiful."

Matchmaker Zhao continued, "I’ll go back right away to notify them so they can prepare the betrothal gifts. Madam Li, Master Li, do you have any specific requests? How many betrothal gifts do you want?"

"Well, Matchmaker Zhao, I haven’t finished talking yet. Our daughter indeed didn’t take a fancy to those two families, but she didn’t directly agree to your proposal either."

Upon hearing this, Matchmaker Zhao’s smile immediately froze. What does this mean?

Seeing Matchmaker Zhao’s confusion, Chuntao’s mother quickly said, "It’s like this, our daughter thinks the young man from the Chang Family looks fine and wants to meet him to get to know each other before making a decision."
