Finding a matchmaker is just a formality, as having a matchmaker means it's a proper match, and it can't be decided secretly by both parents.
This time, the main purpose was to settle the matter between the two children and discuss the bride price.
Early the next morning, the matchmaker Yang came over, and Yang Old Man and Yang Ming's wife went with the matchmaker Yang to Xiaocui's house.
Since they're from the same village, this matter should be settled quickly, so the younger generation of the Yang Family didn't go to work in the fields; they stayed home waiting for news.
The younger ones at home surely talked about it.
The second son's wife spoke first, "Do you think Aunt Lan Hua will make an outrageous demand?"
As soon as she said that, everyone went silent because they thought the same. Aunt Lan Hua was notoriously stingy, and the daughters-in-law in her family were equally known for loving money, so they probably wouldn't ask for a little.
