Chapter 20: Keke Starts Arguing
Li Daniu was a bit plain-looking, very tall, even with a beard on his face, and spoke in a rough voice.
But… Wang Qin was even more satisfied with his appearance.
Not outstanding, but not ugly either.
If he were too outstanding, she would have been too afraid to agree.
“I agree to you.”
At that moment, Li Daniu was so happy he didn’t know what to do, and for a moment he didn’t know how to express himself, so he suddenly picked up Qin Wanwan, who was standing dumbfounded nearby.
“Hahaha… she agreed, I’m going to have a home, I’m going to have a home!”
Qin Wanwan, who was picked up and then caught: “!!!”
A little scared, but it seemed a bit fun?
The others around saw Li Daniu’s foolish joy and Wang Qin’s shy and embarrassed appearance, and they were envious.
Keke flew over and pecked Li Daniu’s head.
“You idiot, put my cub down quickly!!!”
Li Daniu quickly put Qin Wanwan down, then scratched his head and glanced at Li Qin sheepishly.
A couple was successfully matched, which undoubtedly gave others a lot of confidence.
The newly matched couple left, and Qin Wanwan and Keke went to pick flowers and wander around.
Watching the matchmaking on the spot, Qin Wanwan’s little eyes were very serious.
The two people being matched felt embarrassed, and the girl’s face turned very red.
Man: “I, I was married before, but my previous wife died while giving birth, right when the Tartars were causing trouble. By the time I returned, the baby was born, but she was gone, so now it’s just me and my two-year-old daughter at home.
My daughter wants a mother, and I want a wife. If you don’t mind, I will live a good life with you from now on, and all the household belongings will be yours to manage, as long as… as long as you treat my daughter well.”
The young lady didn’t mind.
Her family’s conditions were not good, and the reason she was captured by bandits was because her family wanted to sell her as a concubine to an eighty-year-old Yuanwai in the county.
She was unwilling and ran away secretly at night when everyone was asleep, but she didn’t expect to escape one den and fall into another.
She didn’t have great ambitions, didn’t care about the man’s appearance, and didn’t care about his family. She just wanted a home of her own and to live a good life.
Although the man in front of her was married before, her own situation was even worse.
As long as he wasn’t an old man and could marry her as his proper wife, it would be fine.
Keke and Qin Wanwan didn’t cause trouble, they were just spectators.
After the woman agreed, Qin Wanwan, holding a small bouquet of flowers, went over and handed it to the man.
That man was also quick-witted, holding the flowers, he smiled like an idiot and handed them to his future wife.
Another couple was formed!
Let’s go see others.
“Miss Lin, my parents are still alive, I have five siblings, and I am the third child in the family…”
Keke suddenly flew onto the table of the two of them.
“Cough, cough, this master will translate for you. There are many elders above, and his family doesn’t lack him as a son. And he is the third child, in that awkward position of not being here nor there, the one most easily overlooked.
He does all the housework, dedicates himself selflessly like an ox, and has to be filial to his parents. Marrying him also means you have to be filial to his parents, but his parents might not like you.
At that time, in the case of conflict between his parents and his wife, he will either smooth things over or ignore it. If he feels his parents’ kindness is greater, then you will be unlucky. You will be bullied by his parents from above, and looked down upon by his siblings from below. It’s miserable.”
The two:…………
The man’s face turned green.
But the young lady felt that this parrot was telling the truth.
“You’re talking nonsense!”
Keke glanced at him sideways: “Just tell me how much silver you send back every time your military pay is disbursed.”
The man fell silent.
Keke continued to press: “You get three taels of silver each month, and you send two taels back. Have your family members ever sent you even a pair of shoes? Even at your age, they haven’t worried about your future wife. Isn’t this clearly treating you like an ATM?
You yourself are concerned, but if your mother finds out about this girl’s past later, will she treat her well? If she doesn’t treat her biological son well, do you expect her to treat her well? You yourself are also a fool, a fool!”
After scolding the man, Keke turned to the young lady.
“This bird knows you’re in a hurry, but don’t rush. There are many men in this military camp who can’t find wives, and he’s not the only one. Marriage isn’t just about two people; it also depends on the family’s situation.
Look, no one here dislikes you, but you marry a man and his whole family dislikes you. I ask you, aren’t you suffocated and uncomfortable?”
Qin Wanwan nodded beside her: “Sister, take your time, no need to rush.”
The young lady’s eyes turned red: “Okay, thank you.”
Keke’s voice was quite loud when he was arguing, and people around found it novel and looked over.
“That’s the general’s daughter. I heard she has a talking parrot. I didn’t believe it before. This isn’t just talking, this bird’s tongue is more eloquent than any person’s!”
“Hey, this bird’s analysis is completely correct. Deng He’s family isn’t like that. I told him before to be careful and not send so much silver back, to keep some for himself, but he wouldn’t listen.”
This couple was a bust. Qin Wanwan’s flowers weren’t given out, but she wasn’t in a hurry.
Those who came here to be matched were all people who genuinely wanted to find a woman to live with.
Either their families were too poor, or they had no one to arrange their marriage.
The latter was more common.
And most of them were locals, because there were frequent wars here, making it easier for people to lose their entire family and be left alone.
Keke and Qin Wanwan ran around, sometimes giving flowers. If the flowers were given out, it meant that the man was truly good.
For some reason, those young ladies trusted Qin Wanwan and Keke very much, and soon after, they agreed.
Sometimes Keke would argue.
Like the current one.
“This man’s family is poor and has a sick old mother. You are very good to your mother, but what do your words and your eyes mean? You look down on her but want to marry her to be your mother’s ox and horse. You want all the good things for yourself, how can you think so wishfully when you’re not beautiful?”
The man turned red with embarrassment from Keke’s words, becoming a little enraged.
“What’s it to you? I’m just telling the truth. Although my family is poor, I can still marry a chaste woman. I don’t dislike her, but is it wrong for me to ask her to help take care of my elderly mother? Isn’t that what a daughter-in-law should do?”
“Besides, she was captured by bandits. Besides me, what good man would want her?”
Keke put its wings on its hips, and Qin Wanwan next to it imitated its posture, putting her little chubby hands on her hips, her cheeks puffed out in anger as she glared at him.
“Does she need you to dislike her? Funny, you want to get married, but is there anyone marrying you? Even a widow dislikes you. It’s right to be filial to elders, but who are you trying to put on a show for with this ‘both’ attitude?
If you look down on her, don’t come! You’re so shameless, with two balls hanging below your eyebrows, you only know how to blink, not look! Even if you’re illiterate, can’t you count?
With so many bachelors among you, you’re telling me this girl has no one to want her? Even if this batch of people don’t hit it off, there will be another batch. Who are you trying to PUA? Get lost, you bird master!”
