Yang shi said repeatedly that it was only right; otherwise, a failed match could lead to bad blood. It was a great compliment that Gou Dan's mother had taken a liking to Qingmu.
So, they agreed that Grandma Huang would come back in the afternoon for an answer, and with that, she slowly headed back to the village.
When Zheng Changhe saw Yang shi approaching, he asked, "What did Aunt Huang come for?"
Yang shi told him that Gou Dan's mother wanted to arrange a marriage.
Zheng Changhe laughed happily. "Ah! That's wonderful news. Meizi is a good girl. But what if our Qingmu doesn't want to get married?"
Yang shi sighed. "I'll go home and ask him. When the other matchmakers came, I turned them down flat. To be honest, I just wasn't interested in their candidates. But now that a good one has come along, I can't bear to refuse."
Zheng Changhe nodded as well, agreeing that was indeed the case.
At noon, Yang shi went home for lunch, but only Qingmu was there.
