Chapter 68: Chapter 68 The Matchmaker Visits

Early the next morning, Xiaoxiao was surprised to find the matchmaker at their door, proposing a marriage for her younger brother, Yang Dong.

Yang Dong was still so young, barely a fuzz on his face; in her heart, he was just a middle school kid.

In fact, it was quite normal for fifteen-year-olds to have marriage discussions here; had his family not been so poor, he might already have been betrothed.

Seeing her youngest son and daughter-in-law in such a state, the mother-in-law could no longer sit idly by, so she sent for the matchmaker, hoping to quickly choose a bride for her youngest. Once his marriage was settled, he wouldn’t be able to continue thinking about marrying his brother’s wife.

The most crucial reason to sever the relationship between the youngest son and his sister-in-law was the fear that such a scandal could impact her third son’s future prospects.

"Elder sister, what do you think of these three girls? I’ve picked out the best ones for you!"

The well-known matchmaker of Yang Family Village, Matchmaker Yang, was responsible for marriages within ten miles around.

All three girls were fourteen years old, one year younger than the youngest son; their ages were quite suitable.

But here, if a fourteen-year-old girl had not yet been spoken for, it often meant there was an issue with her family or herself. Just like Xiaoxiao and her best friend Li Chuntao.

While the in-laws were discussing which girl was the better option, Xiaoxiao did not partake, instead turning her head to glance at Yang Ming. Why did he seem so happy today?

Was he really that excited about his brother finding a partner?

It must be said that Yang Ming was indeed thrilled—his thoughts aligned with his mother’s: find a match for the youngest brother, and the latter wouldn’t need to dwell on his brother’s wife anymore.

Xiaoxiao quietly listened to the information about the three girls, thinking of helping by inquiring further to avoid a blind and mute marriage.

Such marriages could be deadly; her younger brother, such a fine young man, should choose a girl he liked.

Moreover, she had her best friend, Li Chuntao, in mind! If her friend could lose weight, she would undoubtedly be a beauty—a far better match than herself.

"Daughter-in-law, this Wang Miaomiao is from your village, what do you think of this girl?"

As she pondered, the mother-in-law unexpectedly turned to ask her opinion, but how would she know!

"Mother, when I was at my parental home, I seldom left the house, so I don’t know her."

Ever since Matchmaker Yang arrived, she had been frequently casting glances at Xiaoxiao, who among the matchmakers was notoriously unmarriageable. It was pure dumb luck that she managed to marry the Scholar.

"Why don’t we just settle on Yang Xiaocao, then? Same village, we know her background well!"

Xiaoxiao, hearing the mother-in-law hastening to a decision, immediately panicked.

"No, I don’t agree!"

Having been in the village for about a month now and having gotten to know quite a few people, she was aware of who Yang Xiaocao was—a girl uglier than herself, with a paraplegic father at home. It wasn’t that she was prejudiced against the ugly or hated the poor, but if one could find better, why settle!

"Why don’t you ask the youngest brother for his opinion before making a decision?"

Nobody expected Xiaoxiao to object, and Yang Ming was especially shocked, his eyes widening at her disapproval of the youngest’s marriage!

At that moment, Xiaoxiao was unaware that everyone had misunderstood her disapproval, thinking there was something between her and the youngest.

"Yang Dong, what do you say? Do you agree to this marriage arrangement?"

Xiaoxiao was still trying on Yang Dong’s behalf, but unbeknownst to her, Yang Dong had already given up.

"Mhm."

Yang Dong felt that marriage was always a matter of paternal command and matchmaker’s word; he had no say, thus resignedly agreed.

Upon hearing Yang Dong’s consent, Xiaoxiao instantly grew furious and shouted at him:

"Yang Dong! Come out here now!"
