Chapter 18 Matchmaker Cai Arrives

To her surprise, when Granny Liu returned to her room, Su Qingsong was already eating. Although Su Qingsong was her only grandson, Granny Liu couldn't tolerate him daring to eat the braised fish before her.

So she slapped Su Qingsong on the head.

"You brat, you've had your fill of eating! Get out of here and wash up!"

After saying that, he snatched the fish bowl from Su Qingsong's hand, which only had a little fish soup left, and tried to find some scraps of fish meat to eat.

Granny Liu, carrying the fish basin, sat directly on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), but as soon as she sat down, she suddenly jumped up.

"Aaaaaah, it hurts so much! Who was the bastard who put a needle on the edge of my bed?!"

Just as Granny Liu finished cursing, she turned her head and saw that the shoe sole she had been sewing halfway was placed on the edge of the kang.

Seeing this, Granny Liu couldn't continue cursing. She could only endure the pain and grope her way out of the thick needle stuck in her buttocks.

"hiss"

"I love you so much!"

When Granny Liu put the needle away and was about to eat the fish, she realized that she had spilled most of the fish soup in her jump, leaving only a broth base with nothing left.

Granny Liu cursed under her breath, "What a jinx!"

She then placed the basin over her face and began licking the remaining broth with her tongue. Even if she couldn't eat the fish, drinking some fish soup to cleanse her mouth was better than nothing. Granny Liu licked for a while, and when she saw that there was really nothing inside, she reluctantly put the basin down.

At this moment, Old Man Su came out of the outhouse clutching his stomach. As soon as he entered the house, he smelled a strong aroma of soy-sauce-braised fish.

"What did you sneak to eat in the house this time?"

Granny Liu glared at him.

"What do you mean I stole food? All the good food in this house should be given to us two elders first."

As she spoke, Granny Liu pointed to the fish soup spilled all over the ground and said reluctantly:

"Look, I didn't even get to eat much, and it's all spilled on the ground!"

Seeing this, Old Man Su felt so sorry for the fish soup that he immediately knelt down and was about to lick it off when Granny Liu stopped him.

"Forget it, there's no fish left in it anyway, it's all soup. You'd better not lick it, or you'll end up with a mouthful of mud."

As she spoke, Granny Liu forcefully pulled Old Man Su up and helped him sit down on the kang (a heated brick bed).

"What's wrong with you? I haven't seen you all day. What are you doing running to the outhouse all the time?"

Old Man Su was already angry because Granny Liu had wasted the fish soup, and hearing her say this, he glared at her and said irritably:

"That sounds nice, but why would I go to the outhouse? What would I be doing there? Of course, I'd be taking a dump, not eating!"

Granny Liu pouted, picked up the shoe soles from the head of the kang (heated brick bed), and started sewing again.

"How much did you eat this morning? You've had to poop so many times!"

Old Su weakly rubbed his stomach and said impatiently:

"I gave Yunhe the laxative that Dr. Wang prescribed three years ago this morning, and now she's been having endless diarrhea."

Granny Liu stared wide-eyed at Old Man Su.

"Old man, are you having trouble pooping like Yunhe did that time?"

Old Su waved his hand.

"No, I was worried that the laxative had gone bad because it had been sitting out for so long. Otherwise, all the money we spent on medical treatment and medicine would be wasted. So this morning I specially found it and had Qin Shi prepare it for me. I mixed it with porridge and drank it. Now I'm not worried about wasting it."

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu swallowed hard and asked worriedly:

"Was there any medicine added to my porridge?"

Old Man Su glared at her impatiently.

"No, there's only one packet of medicine left. I can clean it up myself. Why are you so greedy? You want to taste everything!"

Hearing this, Granny Liu felt relieved and continued sewing the shoe soles.

After Su Banxia finally managed to remove the fishbone stuck in Su Mo's throat, Su Mo watched Su Banxia's busy back and murmured softly:

"Sister, I'm sorry. Although you helped me, I really don't want to suffer like I did in my past life again. Let's switch places in this life."

Su Banxia felt that Su Mo was talking about her behind her back, so she turned around and looked at her, asking:

"what happened?"

Su Mo quickly gave an embarrassed smile.

"No, it's nothing, sis, thank you for saving me just now."

Su Banxia was somewhat surprised; this was the first time she had heard Su Mo call her "sister" since she transmigrated. She paused for a moment, then waved her hand and said:

"It's nothing serious, just be more careful when eating fish in the future."

Su Mo smiled and nodded.

"Sister, what do you think of Su Feng, who came to our compound today?"

Su Banxia spoke nonchalantly:

"Which Su Feng?"

"That's the man standing next to Su Qingsong..."

Su Banxia turned her head suspiciously and glanced at Su Mo.

"What? You like him?"

Upon hearing this, Su Mo hurriedly waved her hands in alarm and said:

"No, no, you misunderstood. There's nothing between us. How could I like him? Besides, you're my older sister. If we're really going to talk about marriage, you should marry him before me."

Su Banxia threw the basin she was holding at the doorway, turned around and lay down on the bed, saying disdainfully:

"He's just an underdeveloped weakling, who would want to marry him? What, are you in a hurry to get married?"

Su Mo's face stiffened upon hearing this, and she quickly waved her hand, saying:

"No, no, I'm not. I'm not in a hurry. Why would I be in a hurry?"

After saying that, Su Mo hurriedly got up and went to the courtyard.

Su Banxia turned her head to look at Su Mo's retreating figure, then shook her head helplessly.

"Tsk, how absurd!"

As she spoke, Su Banxia turned to look at the roof beam, and the image of Wei Kezhi, along with his muscular chest, flashed through her mind...

Su Banxia couldn't help but smile slightly.

"If I'm going to marry, I should marry a real man like Wei Kezhi."

Su Banxia drifted off to sleep as she pondered these thoughts...

The next day,

Su Banxia had just woken up when she heard a commotion in the courtyard.

"Oh, Aunt Cai, you're the most famous matchmaker in all the surrounding villages! It's such an honor for us to have you come to our house in person today!"

Listening to Granny Liu's nauseatingly flattering words, Su Banxia couldn't help but get goosebumps all over. At that moment, Su Banxia didn't want to go to the yard to wash her face anymore. She went straight to bed and leaned against the window, peering outside.

There was a woman who looked to be about fifty or sixty years old, dressed in a bright red dress. A huge mole on the corner of her mouth was very eye-catching, making her look memorable.

Granny Liu, along with Madam Qin, surrounded Aunt Cai, each grabbing one of her hands and pulling her towards the main room.

“Aunt Cai, you know my Yunhe. She’s always been a well-behaved and obedient child. Although she’s a bit clumsy with her hands, we’re trying our best to teach her. She’s a smart girl; as long as she’s willing to learn, she learns everything very quickly!”
