Chapter 1161: Chapter 369: Reaction, Beekeeping_2

Wu’s breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but her worries had not entirely dissipated, "Once that woman enters the family, even if she’s your step-mother, she can use filial piety to pressure you. If one day she treats you poorly, you absolutely mustn’t tolerate it, or she’ll take it as an invitation to push you further."

After Mo Yan listened, she found these words quite strange, almost as if Aunt Wu had experienced such things herself. She was curious but didn’t let it show on her face, "Aunt Wu, rest assured, I know what to do! By the way, how is Big Sister Dani’s matchmaking going? Has a suitable match been found?" Mo Yan quickly changed the subject, fearing Wu’s might say more.

Seeing that Mo Yan was reluctant to discuss it further, Wu’s didn’t want to be a nuisance and continued on the topic Mo Yan brought up, "We’ve visited a few families, and two seemed quite compatible. I’m planning to find some time to walk around those two families’ villages."

Mo Yan nodded in understanding and agreed, "That’s appropriate. Big Sister Dani should marry into a family that pleases her heart."

A matchmaker’s words could bring the dead to life, and it’s hard to really know a person based on their words alone. Visiting where the other party lives and making inquiries not only reveals their character and how they handle matters but also gives insight into their family members—an approach most suitable indeed.

Wu’s face carried a touch of bitterness, "She’s already nineteen, turning twenty this year. If we delay any longer, it’ll be hard to find someone that meets her expectations, and these two families are not as good as the ones we looked at last year."

Mo Yan, seeing this, comforted her, "Isn’t it much better that Big Sister Dani is willing to consider suitors this year compared to last year? Besides, just because the matchmaking families are wealthy doesn’t mean they’re good. Perhaps Big Sister Dani’s good fortune in marriage will be found within these two families."

Wu’s, on hearing this, visibly brightened, "You’re right. I was too demanding, hoping to pick for Big Sister Dani a family with wealth, an agreeable husband, and a kind mother-in-law. How easy is it to find such a perfect match?"

Mo Yan smiled, "These things can’t be rushed. A suitable match can always be found with time."

The two chatted about Big Sister Dani’s marriage matters until San Ni came running over to say that a matchmaker had visited their home, and Wu’s hurriedly left.

Mo Yan, with nothing pressing, walked to the backyard vegetable garden to water the newly sprouted bok choy. Xin Er was weeding the garden and asked in a quiet voice when she saw her, "Sister, did Aunt Wu talk to you about that matter again?"

Mo Yan nodded and spoke helplessly, "Aunt Wu is always worried that Aunt Cui has ill intentions, despite my many explanations. She won’t be reassured."

Xin Er casually remarked, "Aunt Wu grew up tormented by a stepmother, so that’s not surprising. She probably thinks all stepmothers are bad in her heart."

"Oh, is that so? How did you know?" Mo Yan was surprised to learn the reason and felt that all her previous puzzlements had been cleared up.

"Didn’t you tell me?" Xin Er asked, puzzled, "I remember that back in Mo Family Village, when someone proposed a match for our father, you got so angry. You chased them off with a fire poker. Weren’t you so angry because you heard about Aunt Wu’s ordeal? Don’t you remember?"

Mo Yan’s heart skipped a beat as she desperately searched her past memories and finally found it. She said with a sense of accomplishment, "I didn’t expect that I had such commendable deeds. If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten."

Back then, her spirit was not yet whole. After driving away the matchmaker with the fire poker, she also faced her father’s stern lecture. He wasn’t upset about her ruining a good match as much as he was concerned about her fiery temper, worried she would become too extreme.

Xin Er looked at her sister with mixed emotions and said in a low voice, "If it had been at that time, you would definitely have been the first in our family to oppose our father remarrying."

Upon hearing this, Mo Yan didn’t know what to say. The half of her soul that had lived in the modern world, now back in this body, was dominant even though it was influenced by the original soul’s thoughts. Otherwise, she might have become a girl with an unhealthy psyche.

...

Even though the ceremony wouldn’t be simple, the couple, one at thirty-five and the other twenty-six, were by no means young. The Cui family hoped for a swift wedding, and after discussions, the date was set for September.

With only a little more than five months left, things were inevitably rushed. Moreover, without an elder in the Mo Household, the others were unsure how to handle the preparations. Initially, they sought advice from the older women in the village, but their limited experience meant they knew little about the intricacies of a prominent family’s wedding preparations.
