Chapter 965: Chapter 965 Spouting Disaster (2)

Big Sister Dani, thinking Mo Yan had discovered something, shook her head in slight panic, "No, no, I don’t have any worries on my mind, you’re just overthinking it, girl."

Seeing this, Mo Yan became even more certain that Big Sister Dani was hiding something in her heart, but since she was unwilling to speak, Mo Yan felt it was not right to force her; she simply looked earnestly at Big Sister Dani and said, "Big Sister Dani, we’re sisters related by blood. Our relationship is naturally closer than with others. If you’ve encountered anything distressing, you can tell me about it. Even if I can’t help you solve it, speaking out might ease your heart a bit."

A wave of emotion surged in Big Sister Dani’s heart, and she barely managed to keep herself from revealing her secret, "Yan girl, I really don’t have any problems, but there is something I need to ask for your help with."

At this point, a trace of worry appeared on Big Sister Dani’s face, obviously something was troubling her greatly.

Mo Yan, upon hearing this, quickly said, "Big Sister Dani, whatever it is, tell me. I’ll definitely help you if I can."

Big Sister Dani seemed to find it hard to speak, hesitating for a moment before saying, "My mother is worried about my marriage and has found three matchmakers to seek a suitable family for me. But Yan girl, I don’t have any plans to marry for now. Could you please persuade my mother, tell her not to trouble herself over this anymore?"

Her heart already belonged to someone, even though she knew it was just wishful thinking. However, she was helpless, unable to stop thinking about that person, knowing he lived at her cousin’s house. She couldn’t resist finding excuses to come over every day, just hoping to catch an extra glimpse of him.

She couldn’t convince herself to get married with such feelings weighing on her, to another man - it wouldn’t be fair. If one day she could truly let go of this emotion, she would follow her mother’s wishes, marry a man of suitable standing, and live an unremarkable life. But right now, she truly couldn’t do it.

Mo Yan hadn’t expected Big Sister Dani’s request to be about this issue, and she was hesitant to readily agree. Seeing the pleading look on Big Sister Dani’s face, she asked earnestly, "Big Sister Dani, can you tell me why? Is it really just because you temporarily don’t want to get married?"

It wasn’t that Mo Yan couldn’t understand; Big Sister Dani was already nineteen, and it was rare for a woman of her age not to be married. In the past, the Wu family had poor conditions and hadn’t branched out from Lao Mo’s House, so it was alright if slightly better families looked down on them. Now, the Wu family earned forty taels of silver a month, adding up to several hundred over a year, which wasn’t far off from many moderately wealthy families in town.

Although she was slightly older, she wasn’t so old that she’d be unable to find a suitable husband. The matchmakers hired by Mrs. Wu also frequented their home, showing there were plenty of matched families available. With the Wu family’s current situation, in the past others would choose Big Sister Dani, but now it was her turn to do the choosing.

However, if she continued to delay, once Big Sister Dani turned twenty, even if the Wu family was in good standing, finding a satisfying match might not be guaranteed. Even if there were men who didn’t mind Big Sister Dani’s age, they might not match the Wu family’s status. Who knew whether such people were after the Wu family’s wealth?

Mo Yan understood this logic, and she didn’t believe Big Sister Dani was unaware of it.

Big Sister Dani certainly understood, and as a mother, Mrs. Wu was even more aware—hence why she had hired three matchmakers in quick succession, aiming to settle Big Sister Dani’s marriage this year so that she could wed the following spring. This would neatly dovetail with Tie Tou’s wedding, preventing any clash.

Hearing Mo Yan’s questioning, Big Sister Dani, holding back the ache in her heart, said with some agitation, "Yan girl, I really don’t want to just marry like this. My mother has always valued your opinion. As long as you speak for me, she will definitely consider it. Please, I’m begging you."
