Hearing Jiujiu call him Brother Wang in a soft voice, Wang Yue's cold face softened a lot. He lowered his head to look at Jiujiu's slender, white, and soft fingers holding the bowl. He hummed in a low voice.
However, because of his nature, even though Wang Yue tried his best to make himself look gentle, he still saw Jiujiu's serious eyes.
Jiujiu put the bowl aside and looked at Wang Yue, whose forehead was already covered in cold sweat. She poured a bowl of mung bean soup that she had cooked for him. "I'll have to trouble you, Big Brother Wang. Quickly drink some mung bean soup to relieve the heat."
Wang Yue took the mung bean soup from Jiujiu and took a sip.
Jiujiu's mung bean soup was specially made by her, so the taste was naturally excellent.
After Wang Yue finished the mung bean soup in two or three mouthfuls, he put the bowl down and looked at Jiujiu again before turning to leave.
After Wang Yue left, Jiujiu looked at Wang Yue with one hand holding her chin. She narrowed her eyes and smiled faintly.
After Wang Yue returned home, Aunt Wang immediately went over and asked if he had returned the bowl.
After getting an affirmative answer, Aunt Wang asked tentatively, "Is it Lianshi or Xiang 'er who is watching the stall today?"
When Aunt Wang asked who he was, Wang Yue couldn't help but think of Jiujiu's appearance. Her white cheeks and cute little dimples when she pursed her lips were as beautiful as a painting.
Wang Yue was in a daze and said, "It's a girl."
When he heard that it was a girl, he saw Jiujiu.
Aunt Wang looked at Wang Yue and asked tentatively, "What do you think of Xiang 'er?"
Aunt Wang had already made up her mind. If Jiujiu was even a little bit willing, even if she had to sacrifice her face, she would find someone to talk to Jiujiu. If Wang Yue was unwilling, then forget it.
Wang Yue was not a child. As soon as Auntie Wang said this, Wang Yue knew what she meant. But because she knew, Wang Yue's expression could not help but pause. After thinking of Jiujiu's appearance, she said, "She's fine."
When Aunt Wang heard Wang Yue say that she was fine, a smile instantly appeared on her face. After glancing at Wang Yue, she walked out with a face full of smiles.
Wang Yue was a tight-lipped person. She liked to keep everything in her heart. Whether she was happy or unhappy, she liked to keep it in her stomach. So even if she was Wang Yue's biological mother, she didn't know what Wang Yue was thinking.
However, when Aunt Wang told Wang Yue about her previous partners, Wang Yue only said it was fine. But this time, Wang Yue said it was fine to Jiujiu. It could be seen that Wang Yue was very satisfied.
Since Wang Yue was satisfied, Aunt Wang, as a mother, naturally had to sacrifice her face to beg Jiujiu. Otherwise, Wang Yue really had the possibility of being a bachelor for the rest of his life.
That afternoon, Aunt Wang took a few things to the Ma Family next door, which was closest to her mouth.
The Ma family's woman was a famous matchmaker here. She was born with a clever mouth. As long as she was willing, there was no matchmaker that she couldn't secure. Most importantly, not only was she eloquent, but she was also tight-lipped. Therefore, Aunt Wang took a fancy to this Ma family's woman.
When Aunt Wang came with things, the Ma Family's woman knew in her heart and directly led Aunt Wang into the room. However, when she heard that Aunt Wang wanted her to go to Jiujiu's house to matchmake, the Ma Family's woman couldn't help showing hesitation on her face.
She had told Jiujiu once before.
The last time she told Jiujiu, it was Li Yuanwai's son. Li Yuanwai was a famous rich family here. As long as Jiujiu married him, she would definitely be a madam.
And because Li Yuanwai's son really liked Jiujiu, Li Yuanwai promised a lot of dowry. However, Li Shuan disliked Li Yuanwai's son and thought that he was useless. So even if there was a lot of dowry, Li Shuan directly shook his head and refused.
The Ma Family's woman knew that although Li Shuan's family didn't have much money, he wasn't a person who would exchange a child for money. Even if you were rich, so what? What Li Shuan cared about was whether you could treat Jiujiu well, not how rich your family was.
So, the last time ended in failure.
Li Yuanwai's son was spoiled by Li Yuanwai, but Wang Yue was different. Not only were Wang Yue's parents very capable, but he was also very capable. No matter who it was, they had to respect him.
If there hadn't been the death of his three fiancées before, he would definitely have been the existence that the matchmakers would break through his door. However, the problem was that his three fiancées all died a day before their wedding. It was okay if it happened once or twice, but it was a little strange that it happened three times. So, everyone said that Wang Yue was a jinx to his wife.
Li Shuan was originally a person who didn't care about external conditions. Now that Wang Yue was known to be a jinx to his wife, it was a little difficult.
The Ma Family's woman wanted to refuse, but she and Aunt Wang lived next door. The two families often met each other. If she really refused, it was inevitable that it would hurt their relationship. Aunt Wang was usually very open-minded, but if she really refused her on this matter, she would definitely hate her.
Therefore, the Ma Family's woman could only nod and say, "I'll have a try."
Hearing the Ma Family's woman agree, Aunt Wang immediately showed a smile. She pretended to inadvertently wipe her hands on her clothes and said with a smile, "Then I'll wait for your good news."
The Ma Family's woman smiled bitterly and nodded.
However, she wasn't very confident in her heart.
Aunt Wang sat in the Ma Family's house and chatted with the Ma Family's woman for a while before she went back.
The next day, the Ma Family's woman went directly to Jiujiu's house.
Of course, she wanted to find Li Shuan to be a matchmaker.
However, because Wang Yue wasn't very confident, the Ma Family's woman used the excuse of borrowing something as an excuse to talk to Li Shuan in the room.
The Ma Family's woman told Li Shuan about Wang Yue's family background and his current ability, then she waited for Li Shuan's answer.
When he saw the Ma Family's woman, Li Shuan guessed that she came to talk about marriage for Jiujiu.
According to Li Shuan's intention, he really wanted to keep Jiujiu at home. However, Jiujiu was now seventeen and would be eighteen after the New Year. Even if he was reluctant to part with Jiujiu, Jiujiu would eventually get married. If because of him, Jiujiu was too old to get married, it would be a sin. Therefore, Li Shuan was willing to let the Ma Family's woman in.
However, what Li Shuan didn't expect was that the Ma Family's woman was talking about Wang Yue this time.
Who was Wang Yue? There was probably no one here who didn't know.
Wang Yue was famous here for being promising. Not only was he the executioner here, but he was even appreciated by the higher-ups. It was said that he had recently been promoted. His future was absolutely unpredictable.
Correspondingly, Wang Yue had the reputation of being a jinx to his wife. Moreover, because of the sudden death of his three fiancées, it was too strange. No matter how capable Wang Yue was, no one dared to marry their daughter to him.
