Chapter 1612: Chapter 1434: Epilogue

Nan Feng now finally understood those parents who would pressure their children into marriage once they reached a certain age.

She saw that nearly all the girls in the village of the same age as Xia Dabao were almost all married off, leaving only Dabao. She thought to herself that she couldn’t possibly stay with her until old age, and besides, she would eventually need to find a wife of her own. If Dabao remained here, living with Axian, what would Axian’s wife think, and what would the villagers think?

Such were the ways of the world, which she wasn’t in a hurry to comply with.

"Mom, what if the person the Matchmaker Wang introduces is really ugly? What if he’s a wife-beater?"

"Mom will say it again, if you don’t like him, Mom won’t force you to marry. As for a wife-beater, forget about him. You just make sure not to bully anyone," having finished washing the vegetables, Nan Feng poured out the water, "Go help with making the fire."

Xia Dabao pouted her lips.

...

That day, lunch wasn’t even finished when Matchmaker Wang arrived.

Nan Feng hurriedly invited Matchmaker Wang to join them for the meal, but Matchmaker Wang said she had already eaten. However, as soon as Matchmaker Wang arrived, she sat beside the dining table and began to speak without pause, her saliva nearly spraying onto the table.

Ye Ge wasn’t keen on participating in such matters, having already eaten his fill, he led Axian into the yard to practice Kung Fu.

This was at the request of Axian, who had expressed his admiration for his sister’s skill in Kung Fu and wanted to train properly himself, so he could hunt rabbits in the mountains in the future.

Back inside the house, Dabao couldn’t eat anymore either. She watched Axian enviously as he practiced Kung Fu in the yard and listened to Matchmaker Wang, "I came looking for you two years ago, and at that time you said your daughter was too young and didn’t need to get married. Now look, she has become an old maid, hasn’t she? People always say that time flies; why do they say that? Look at how these two years have passed in the blink of an eye. It’s still timely for Dabao to find someone; she can still choose. If you wait another two years, she’ll only have the choice of whoever will have her..."

Nan Feng then asked, "So do you have any suitable candidates now?"

"Of course, of course. Right now, in the neighboring village, there’s a family whose son has achieved the title of scholar and is now teaching in the county town. They’ve said they don’t want a lady from the city but would prefer a girl from the village, since village girls are pragmatic and hardworking."

"And the other family?" Nan Feng inquired.

"The other one is also a neighbor. Remember how I mentioned two years ago about a family that runs a Fruit Garden? They have a big plantation of longan trees. And you know what? They sneaked a peek at Dabao back then and were incredibly smitten. They haven’t sought after anyone else since, and now they’ve heard that Xia Dabao isn’t married yet, they’ve asked me to come and inquire again. Between these two families, which one do you like?"

Nan Feng thought for a moment, "Forget the scholar, they’re certainly looking for a village girl, probably with the idea of finding someone to serve his parents and handle household chores. Let’s go for the Fruit Garden; at least they like Dabao."

Matchmaker Wang instantly beamed with joy, "The one with the Fruit Garden is called Tao Shanding, around twenty years old, just three years older than Dabao. A man three years older than the woman is a perfect match!"

Dabao couldn’t help but ask, "Isn’t it said that if the woman is three years older, it’s a perfect match?"

"That’s old talk; people don’t go by that saying anymore. Also, Tao Shanding himself is quite the catch. He may not be as tall as your father, but he’s got fine features. In Peach Blossom Village, he’s considered a handsome young man. How about this, I arrange for the two of you to meet? I guarantee that once you meet him, you’ll definitely like him."

"Alright," Nan Feng spoke for Xia Dabao, "but since their horoscopes haven’t even been matched yet, let’s not arrange a meeting at home to avoid gossip in the future. If Tao Shanding truly likes Dabao, let them meet in town. Isn’t there a teahouse there? They can meet there."
