Chapter 144: Chapter 144 The Astonished Onlooking Villagers
Luo Qiao said, "Auntie, I don’t know you, just say what you have to say here, I’m listening."
By this time, the villagers who had followed to watch the excitement also gathered around.
The woman’s smile could no longer be maintained; in this area, she was a well-known matchmaker, and she had never been turned away from a door before, as everyone would try to curry favor with her.
The woman said, "You haven’t been in Qingshan Brigade for long, so you probably don’t recognize me. I’m Zhao Linxin, the matchmaker from the neighboring Zheng Qiao Village, and I often move around these parts."
Luo Qiao smiled faintly and said, "Auntie, which family are you advocating for this time, or did you come to my house to ask for a drink of water?"
Zhao Linxin felt that this girl must have something wrong with her brain. She was at her doorstep asking which family she was supporting?
Smiling, she said, "Look at what this girl is saying, still sleepy, talking nonsense, let’s go inside and talk."
Luo Qiao immediately blocked Zhao Linxin’s attempt to enter the yard, "Say what you have to say here, Auntie. You didn’t come to make a match for me, did you?"
Zhao Linxin slapped her thigh and said, "See, what did I tell you? It’s a great opportunity, let’s talk inside."
Luo Qiao asked with a faint smile, "Auntie, do you know how old I am now?"
Zhao Linxin was stunned for a moment and said, "I’m not sure about that." She then turned to look at Li Xiulan standing by her side.
Li Xiulan said with a laugh, "What does age have to do with it, decide on the arrangement when you’re older and then get married."
Luo Qiao said, "Auntie Zhao, I’m only fifteen years old this year, still young and not considering this matter. Sorry to make you come all this way for nothing. Besides, I’m still a student, and the school doesn’t advocate for dating while studying.
Nowadays, the country promotes free love, and when the time comes, I will consider it myself and look for a progressive young man with whom I share common interests. Don’t you think I’m right, Auntie Zhao?"
Zhao Linxin really didn’t know that the girl was still in school, but since she was entrusted by others, she had to continue her speech.
She said with a laugh, "Actually, in the village, it’s not rare for people to arrange marriages when they’re young. It’s good to have it settled early, and it wouldn’t affect your studies."
Luo Qiao said with a smile, "Auntie Zhao, did you not understand what I said? I’m young and not considering this matter. Besides, my elders will decide my affairs. Why don’t you make a trip to Capital City and see if they agree?"
This time, Zhao Linxin was not pleased, not with Luo Qiao, but with Li Xiulan who had come with her. Why hadn’t she provided this information before coming, which had left her in such an awkward position?
Making matches for over a decade, she had never been asked questions she couldn’t answer. It was truly embarrassing.
Li Xiulan said, "They’re not your real relatives, so you can make your own decisions. There’s no need to go through them."
Luo Qiao glanced at Li Xiulan and said, "I’ve already stated I’m not considering it as I need to continue my studies."
Zhao Linxin said, "I’ve heard it’s just you living your life now. Actually, settling down with someone is quite good. If you face any problems in the future, you’d have someone to lend you a hand."
Luo Qiao felt her steamed dumplings were almost ready and wanted to end the conversation quickly: "Could you please tell me, Auntie, if the person you’re introducing me to is a student or a university graduate with a job.
Which unit does he work at? How much is his monthly salary? Does he have any problematic relatives? Can he afford my educational expenses? And if I go to university later, will he support me?
All of these need to be clarified. Oh, and most importantly, he has to be good-looking and not a mama’s boy."
These words stunned the onlooking villagers and left Zhao Linxin speechless. She turned to look at Li Xiulan, and both of their faces looked rather unpleasant.
