The old man of the family valued Gu Jin imnsely, which she knew very well.
And her son and daughter were even more fond of Jin Girl.
For the Gu Family, Gu Jin was like a treasure, and she dared not offend this girl.
Moreover, Chen Hong inexplicably felt that there really wasn’t anyone in the village who could handle Gu Jin.
Or in other words, there wasn’t anyone worthy of her.
Anyone with eyes could see that.
When Matchmaker Liu heard her refusal, the smile on her face faded a little.
"Could it be that Sister-in-law Gu doesn’t think well of that Old Li Family? Their Li Family is the wealthiest in the surrounding ten miles, at least consider it, there are so many girls from around the villages hoping to marry into that family."
Chen Hong shook her head with a smile: "I can’t decide on Jin Girl’s marriage, nor would our old man agree to it."
She was speaking the truth.
However, Matchmaker Liu imdiately smiled: "Alright, then I’ll speak to your old man about this!"
She bypassed Chen Hong, not considering herself an outsider, and entered the Gu Family courtyard.
In the main hall, Old Man Gu, Gu Decang, Gu Jin, An Mingji, were waiting for Chen Hong to return for dinner.
They didn’t expect to et Matchmaker Liu instead.
"Congratulations, Old Man Gu!"
She walked into the main hall and directly congratulated the old man sitting in the main seat.
Old Man Gu kept a stern face, glanced at her, and asked, "I wonder where the congratulations co from?"
Matchmaker Liu repeated to Old Man Gu what she had just said to Chen Hong.
During this ti, she kept sizing up Gu Jin from ti to ti.
Her gaze was like evaluating rchandise, which was really unpleasant.
Old Man Gu heard her words and remained unmoved, looking deeply at Matchmaker Liu: "Jin Girl is young, she still needs to go to school, and isn’t considering marriage at the mont."
Such evasive words were sothing Matchmaker Liu heard often, and she didn’t take it seriously.
She smiled and said: "Old man, the conditions of the Old Li Family are the best in the surrounding ten miles. If we miss this village, there won’t be another shop, and the son of the Old Li Family has a stable job, if Jin Girl marries over, she won’t lack for anything.
As for school, what does a girl need with school, not to ntion it’s a waste of money, and her mind will wander, with poor discipline later on. A woman should honestly get married and have children; that’s what truly matters."
No one else in the Gu Family spoke, even Gu Jin quietly watched Matchmaker Liu’s performance.
She wasn’t feeling offended, just amused.
But An Mingji, sitting on the side, couldn’t endure hearing such things about Ah Jin, his usually handso face turned somber.
These people had no idea how great Ah Jin was, how outstanding, and what a bright future she had.
He glared coldly at Matchmaker Liu, wishing he could stuff her mouth shut, as nothing she said was pleasing.
Old Man Gu remained firm: "Jin Girl will not get married, she needs to study."
Matchmaker Liu sensed the old man’s stubbornness, narrowed her eyes, feeling that this matter might not be easy.
She rolled her eyes, continuing: "Old man, what’s so good about studying, look at your Jin Girl, she’s just pretty, but her backside doesn’t look good for childbearing.
This Old Li’s son, having a stable job, is her good fortune. If a woman can’t bear a son, she’s still nothing, it’s not for to say—"
"Bang!"
An Mingji held and held back, but in the end, he couldn’t hold it in, angrily slamd the table.
With this table slam, the Gu family remained unfazed, but Matchmaker Liu was startled.
When she saw An Mingji, a glint flashed in her eyes.
