Chapter 428 Remarried Widow 21
"Also, if I bring four burdens with me to the Cui family, will the Cui family not bully my four children? Will the five of us, mother and children, be slaves to the Cui family in the future?"
"As far as I know, Cui Laoer's previous wife worked harder than an ox in the Cui family, ate less than a chicken, and was beaten and scolded every other day. Even her sisters-in-law would beat and scold her. The whole family was just bullying her. Matchmaker Li, do you think that if I, a woman without the support of my natal family and with four burdens, really married into the family, I could live better than Cui Laoer's previous wife?"
"Cui Laoer's previous wife endured a life worse than death for more than ten years before she died. Maybe I won't be able to survive for a few years. And my four children are so young, how many years can they survive?"
"Matchmaker Li, your plan not only took my life, but also took the lives of my mother and my children."
"Matchmaker Li, I haven't offended you, have I? I just want to ask you, what deep hatred do we have against each other? Why do you want to hurt me like this?"
Yuanchun asked with tears in her eyes.
Matchmaker Li lowered her head guiltily, not daring to look at anyone. "Daqiang's mother, I was wrong. I was really wrong. I...I will never be your matchmaker again."
"Haha, do you think that after this incident, I would still dare to let you be my matchmaker?"
Yuanchun raised her head and looked at the villagers. "Not only me, I'm afraid that no one in our Red Star Village would dare to let you be a matchmaker again."
Matchmaker Li looked up at everyone in panic.
The captain's wife sneered, "Matchmaker Li, with the money you make from those wicked people, who would dare to let you be a matchmaker in the future? You are not the only matchmaker in this area. Without you, won't our son and daughter get married?"
"That's right. Who doesn't know how to be a matchmaker? I was the matchmaker for my sister-in-law's son, and now the couple is very much in love."
"My niece from my mother's side is also the nephew from my mother's side who I arranged to marry my husband's sister-in-law. We are so close relatives, and I don't know how good our life is."
"Anyway, I won't ask Matchmaker Li to be my matchmaker for my children."
"My boys don't dare to ask her to be their matchmaker. Who knows if she will be so cruel as to marry a stupid wife to my son?"
...Matchmaker Li was almost angry to death when she heard these discussions.
But she did not dare to refute anything as she had angered everyone.
The other members of the Li family were like defeated roosters, with their heads hanging. Even though the villagers scolded them like bears, they didn't dare to say anything.
They were afraid that the villagers would get angry and really drive their family out of Hongxing Village.
The captain certainly wouldn't really drive the Li family out of the village, but he also gave them a stern warning, "Li Heizi, if you want to live in Red Star Village in the future, you must not scheme against other people's marriages anymore. Otherwise, our village will not allow you to live there. We will also send Big Dog's mother to the police station to face the law."
"Also, Daqiang's mother was frightened this time. The Cui family paid 50 yuan in compensation. You, the Li family, should pay 30 yuan. Also, catch a chicken and take eggs to calm her down. Then the matter will be over."
30 yuan almost cost Matchmaker Li her life.
But compensation is necessary.
Everyone is watching.
Matchmaker Li could only order her eldest daughter-in-law to catch the chicken, and then ordered her second daughter-in-law to get the eggs, while she herself limped into the house, rubbing her hurt leg, to get the money.
Yuanchun received another compensation and felt very happy.
She ran home and brought back two bags of fruit candies and distributed them to the villagers who spoke for her. Although each person was only given a few candies, the villagers were happy and said that Yuanchun was a good woman who knew how to repay kindness.
