Chapter 17

Exchange Marriage

One of the women, who had followed Yang Fen and did not help her, took an egg from Yang Fen’s arms and ate it. Then she pulled Yang Fen and said mysteriously, “Sister Yang, let me tell you something. When you weren’t around this afternoon, I was waiting for you to come back to tell you something. With our relationship, the first person I thought of when something good happened was you.” As she spoke, the woman’s eyes gazed at Jiang Er and Jiang Shan, and then she continued, “Other than Jiang Da, no one else in your family has a wife, right? In my opinion, you’re a lucky person. Someone asked me to inquire about your family today.” This woman’s surname was Wang, and although she wasn’t a professional matchmaker, she had still managed to make many couples marry.

As soon as Matchmaker Wang finished speaking, Jiang Qi woke up instantly and listened to the movements over here.

“This... Who asked you about us? You know our family’s situation. This is all we have. We only have a few delapidate-d houses and now my husband is injured...” Yang Fen was a little embarrassed. The remaining money in her hands, together with the money that Jiang Xi got from breaking off the engagement, was less than 20,000 yuan. Jiang Da had built a new house when he got married. Jiang Qi and Jiang Shan would probably have to build a new house when they got married too. It would all cost money...

“Hey, how could I not know about your family’s situation? We all know how much money your Jiang Da spent on his wife. Don’t worry, I’ve seen that family. The girl is very good-looking and is pampered at home. Her face is fair and clean. I like her a lot. I’ve also heard that this girl is in good health and can give birth once she gets married.” Matchmaker Wang held Yang Fen’s hand and said in a very intimate tone.

Yang Fen’s expression changed. She was a little moved by Matchmaker Wang’s words about the girl being able to give birth to a child as soon as she gets married. At this moment, Matchmaker Wang continued, “I’m telling you, your Jiang family is in luck. This girl doesn’t want a betrothal gift. I heard that she’s going to bring a few thousand yuan as her dowry.”

Hearing Matchmaker Wang’s words, Jiang Qi’s eyes lit up instantly. He clenched his fists, breathed heavily, and his body trembled with excitement.

“However, that family has a small request, but it’s a good request for your family.” Matchmaker Wang paused for a moment and glanced at Jiang Xi, who was sitting next to her. Her smile faded a little before she continued, ” Jiang Xi, I’m thirsty. Can you get me a bowl of water? ”

At this time, Jiang Er shouted from outside, “Jiang Xi, the water is boiling. Come out and make some tea!” Jiang Xi stood up and walked out unhurriedly.

After Jiang Xi left, matchmaker Wang took Yang Fen’s hand and said in a low voice, “Sister yang, you know what happened to your Jiang Xi. It’s not easy to propose marriage in the entire Happy Village. The family I’m talking about actually likes your Jiang Xi and intends to marry her. Your Jiang Qi will marry their daughter, and your Jiang Xi will marry their son. How perfect would that be? ” Matchmaker Wang patted her thigh and said excitedly.

“Do you mean an exchange marriage?” Yang Fen was stunned.

Matchmaker Wang waved her hand. “What do you mean by exchange marriage? You make it sound so ugly. You two are getting closer. Look, don’t I always think of you when there’s a good thing? I’ve solved two of your family’s problems at once without spending too much money. Maybe your family can even earn some money. Jiang Si is going to take the exam again, right? ” You’ll be in need of money!”

Yang Fen felt uncomfortable no matter how she thought about it. She looked at Matchmaker Wang and said, “Is there something wrong with that family? If it was a good family, why couldn’t he get a wife? I heard you say that their family isn’t poor, so it’s impossible that they can’t afford a wife, right?”

Matchmaker Wang coughed and said, “There’s nothing bad about it. The son of that family got into a fight a few years ago and injured his brain. He’s a little crazy, but he’s much better now. Don’t worry, your Jiang Xi will definitely live a good life if she marries into that family. They don’t lack money.” She muttered about the good things about that family, but Yang Fen’s expression suddenly changed. If his brain was injured, that would make him a lunatic, right?

Outside the door, Jiang Xi was standing there with a bowl of water in his hand. Jiang Er looked at her silently, then lowered his eyes and thought about something.

Matchmaker Wang looked up and saw Jiang Xi. She smiled and said thank you to Jiang Xi. Then she gave Yang Fen a look that told her to consider it carefully and left. When she left, she looked at Jiang Xi with a smile, as if she was looking at some goods.
