Chapter 292 I'll Give You a Secret
Aunt Sun didn't think much about it and said with a smile: "Old sister, just tell me what you want to say!"
Aunt Wang looked around and said in a low voice, "How about we go inside and talk?"
Aunt Sun was stunned for a moment. It turned out that what she wanted to say was not convenient to say here. "Well, let's go inside and talk."
The two of them went to the main hall to talk. Aunt Wang didn't play tricks and directly expressed her thoughts, "Sister, I like your daughter very much. I have been worrying about my son's marriage recently. You see, how about we discuss something..."
Before Aunt Wang could finish, Aunt Sun stood up and interrupted her, "No, no, sister, we can't do this carelessly."
"How can you call me Hu Lai? You haven't heard me finish yet!" Aunt Wang wanted to continue.
Aunt Sun interrupted her again, "Old sister, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Your son saved my daughter. If you want to repay a favor and let her marry him, I have no objection. But then again, we can't force your son to marry my daughter under the guise of repaying a favor. This is repaying kindness with enmity!"
At the end, she sighed, "My daughter is unlucky and doesn't deserve it."
Aunt Wang slapped her and said disapprovingly, "Stop talking like that. How can anyone belittle their own daughter like that?"
Aunt Sun was helpless. She didn't want this to happen, but the man was a city dweller and worked as a constable in the yamen. He was an official of high rank. Their family really couldn't afford to marry him!
Besides, Baomei's situation is like that. He is an official after all. If he really wants to get married, he can find any girl he wants. Why does he have to find a girl who has broken off an engagement?
Aunt Sun is very self-aware and does not have any illusions.
"Don't be so hasty to speak. Just listen to me first." Aunt Wang continued the interrupted words, "Here's what I think. My son is unmarried and your daughter is unmarried. Why don't we make a plan and let the two children meet. If they like each other, then everyone will be happy. If they don't like each other, we won't force them. Do you think so?"
"Don't worry, we will never ask for a reward. Whether this can be accomplished depends on the two children's willingness."
"How can this be possible?" Aunt Sun was a little confused.
Since ancient times, marriages have been arranged by parents and matchmakers, and letting children make their own decisions is a private marriage.
Aunt Wang probably knew what she was thinking, so she said, "Why not? As long as the children are interested, we can help them. It won't be considered as a private exchange between the children."
Seeing that Aunt Sun was still hesitating, Aunt Wang had to bring up Song Ning to speak.
"What did you say? You said that this idea was proposed by Shuheng's wife?" Aunt Sun had never thought of this.
It has to be said that Aunt Wang's attitude took Baomei's reputation into consideration to a large extent and also gave her family enough respect.
Aunt Sun had already begun to feel moved, but she was still unsure given Baomei's situation.
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to go for it. "Old sister, you are really an open-minded elder. If this can be accomplished, it must be because my daughter had done a great deed in her previous life."
"It's just that there is something I must tell you." She paused, then said, "I'm not afraid of you making fun of me. My daughter, she, she was rejected by her boyfriend before. I have to let you know this."
"Hey, I thought it was something else. I know about that." Aunt Wang waved her hand indifferently. "The girl is the one who suffered a loss. She was rejected from the marriage. She is the biggest victim. But in the eyes of outsiders, no matter what the facts are, it is all the girl's fault."
"Old sister, you really hit the nail on the head." Aunt Sun did not feel too upset when faced with the gossips fabricated by the villagers.
However, what Aunt Wang said at this moment made her eyes red.
If they say they don't care about those harsh words, that would be a lie. They are human beings, not gods. How could they not care?
Aunt Wang was silent for a moment, then said, "Sister, since we've come to this point, I'll give you a hint."
Since the two families are interested in arranging marriages for their children, they have to put some things on the table. People have revealed their secrets to her, so there is no reason for her to keep it secret.
When Aunt Sun learned that Aunt Wang only had a few months left to live, her first reaction was to hold her hand tightly and cry.
"Old sister, why is your life so hard?"
No wonder she sees things so clearly. There's not much time left. If she doesn't think more positively, she will be making things difficult for herself.
Compared with the fact that Aunt Wang was about to die, all the problems in their family were nothing.
Aunt Sun held Aunt Wang's hand tightly and promised in a firm tone, "Don't worry, sister. I've agreed to this. As long as you don't mind, if the two children can be successful, we can become relatives. If not, I will help you keep an eye out for good girls. I will help you fulfill this wish no matter what."
"With your words, I feel relieved."
Aunt Wang stayed at the Sun family until noon. The Sun family wanted to keep Aunt Wang for lunch before leaving, but she refused.
After sending Aunt Wang away, Aunt Sun began to sigh. Mother Shitou couldn't help but ask her, "Mother, what's wrong with you? You have been sighing from the beginning until now."
Aunt Sun sighed again and said, "Alas! Aunt Wang is a miserable person."
When Aunt Wang returned to the Hang family, Song Ning had already returned from Shuisheng's place and was washing vegetables in the yard.
Seeing her come in with a faint smile on her face, I guessed that the matter must have been settled.
"Auntie, how is it? Did the Sun family agree?"
"Yes! If they agree, it's half done." Aunt Wang squatted down happily to wash vegetables with her. "Madam Hang, this is all thanks to your advice. If this is successful, Aunt will definitely give you a red envelope."
"Auntie, since you don't want guests, I just talked a little and didn't help much." Infected by Auntie Wang's good mood, Song Ning was also happy for her.
Regardless of whether this thing can be accomplished in the end, the first step has been taken, which is a good start. Next, we need to figure out how to get these two people to meet.
