Chapter 307: Chapter 307: Is Yang Dong Looking for a Wife?
Yang Ming had been gone for three days, and while the company of Wang Xiangxiang meant Xiaoxiao wasn’t too distressed, she still missed Yang Ming a lot. She even started to tease herself about it, thinking that really, the presence of the opposite sex renders one inhuman.
Her period had also ended, and after taking a bath, Xiaoxiao felt refreshed and invigorated. She lay down to have a chat with Wang Xiangxiang when she heard her mother-in-law calling out.
"Third son’s wife, are you asleep yet?"
"Mom, we’re not asleep. Come in."
After the mother-in-law entered the room and sat by the kang bed, she began somewhat hesitantly, "Third son’s wife, I need to discuss something with you."
Xiaoxiao sat up and put on her clothes, "What is it, mom? Just tell me."
"It’s about the fourth son."
"What’s happened to fourth brother?" Xiaoxiao was puzzled. Lately, Yang Dong had been quite stable and hadn’t caused any trouble.
"The fourth son is not getting any younger. He’ll be sixteen by the end of this year. If we don’t find him a bride soon, he might end up not being able to find one at all."
Hearing her mother-in-law’s words, Xiaoxiao pondered the situation. Having spent more time here, her mentality had shifted, especially after seeing what happened with Wang Xiangxiang.
At first, she thought Yang Dong was still too young to worry about rushing things and that he could meet someone he liked, but now it seemed that Yang Dong wasn’t even trying to meet girls. How in the world would he find a partner?
If they didn’t go through a matchmaker, he might really end up being left behind.
"Mom, then let’s find a matchmaker."
"Eh!" Her mother-in-law agreed happily.
A few days ago, she overheard the conversation between her daughter-in-law and Miss Wang, and how such a good girl ended up being left over. This made her worry even more about her fourth son.
"Third son’s wife, I think you’re right. Matchmakers always paint things in a positive light, but we never really know what the girl is like. I’m thinking for the fourth son, this time we find him a bride, let him see for himself, just like Miss Wang did."
"..." So the mother-in-law took to heart the part about Wang Xiangxiang going to see a match for herself. Was she afraid Yang Dong would end up with someone unsuitable?
It seemed the mother-in-law had finally come to her senses, "Mom, let’s arrange a blind date then. We’ll pick out a good girl, have the matchmaker bring her over, and let her and fourth brother take a look at each other."
"Would the girl be willing to visit our home? How about having fourth brother go take a peek secretly?"
Xiaoxiao thought for a moment. What her mother-in-law said made sense—a failed match at the boy’s home wouldn’t be too good for the girl’s reputation, "Sneaking a peek is definitely not okay. How about arranging a meeting somewhere like a teahouse in town?"
The mother-in-law slapped her thigh in approval, "That’s a great idea, better than coming to our house. I’ll talk to the matchmaker about this tomorrow. All right, you two keep chatting. I’ll go tell your father."
The mother-in-law left the room chuckling, and Xiaoxiao laughed to herself. Her mother-in-law’s days revolved around worrying about her stomach and fourth brother’s marriage—it really was a life full of concerns.
After the mother-in-law left, Wang Xiangxiang appeared excited and all set to gossip, "Is Yang Dong going to find a wife?"
"..." Xiaoxiao felt that Wang Xiangxiang had been acting a bit obsessed these few days, showing an excessive interest in who was getting a wife or husband.
It felt like she was actually considering finding a husband here; why else would she seem to think fourth brother was in such danger? "Don’t think about it too much, let fourth brother be. He’s still a child."
Wang Xiangxiang really had no shame, climbing up the pole along with the lie, looking all regretful, "If he were a few years older, I’d actually consider marrying into the family to become sisters-in-law with you. That would be so nice."
"..." Could she say that desperate women were truly frightening?
"But the method you guys mentioned is good, way better than sneaking around like I did. I’ll have to do it the same way in the future."
