Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 814

Chapter 814: Chapter 687: The Weight of One Jin of Wu Pork Belly_2

Who’s daring to sell things privately these days?

Those old women in the city with red armbands of security patrol around, and when their eyes spot strangers, it’s like they’re seeing an enemy. If something seems off, they focus right in.

And if some heartless person reports it, wouldn’t it claim Lao Han’s life? Even if Lao Han made a fuss in the village, folks couldn’t favor him excessively!

Others might play deaf and mute, but Zhang Tiezhu couldn’t!

Isn’t this causing trouble for an old brother? Ever since he was young, his own mother didn’t care for him, and when problems arose, his brothers fled far away. Who could be like Lao Han? Treating him more sincerely than a brother, even bringing piglets for him.

"Honey, what do you think we should do?"

Zhang Tiezhu said with a smile: "Leave Lao Han’s share alone! This meat is for his brother-in-law. His nephew achieved great merit in the army, and the county is celebrating at home, just waiting for this meat to hold a banquet."

"Oh, I completely forgot about that. The Liu family is planning to find a bride for this promising grandson. If anyone has a suitable daughter at home, they can try their luck; success means they get fine grains. It’s a good match!"

The speaker was an old lady in the village, a well-known matchmaker in the vicinity. Warm-hearted, articulate, and honest in her deeds. In matchmaking, she never acted against her conscience for a bribe, consistently speaking truthfully. Yet, this love-hate relationship with the matchmaker left folks willing to ask her for marriage proposals.

Nine out of ten young men and women of Zhang Family Village were brought together by her, even families who already agreed wanted her as their matchmaker.

Like the marriages of Zhang Guoqing and his brothers were arranged by Aunt Zhang.

For Aunt Zhang’s character, not just locals, even Zhou Jiao trusted her information as genuine and credible. You should know she’s her mother-in-law’s best friend!

So now, anyone with an eligible girl at home was intrigued, probing about the Liu family’s young guy. Like how old is he this year? Is he handsome enough? What’s his monthly salary...

At this moment, who still cares about pork? Even if there’s no eligible girl at home, isn’t there the maternal family? The elder folks think of their granddaughters, and young women like Qingshan’s wife think of their nieces.

People didn’t discuss too blatantly in front of everyone, fearing if it doesn’t work out, reputation might be harmed. So they asked discreetly, bit by bit.

Aunt Zhang, having been a matchmaker for so many years, how could she not know the intricacies here? Hence she volunteered all her known information without waiting for more questions.

Zhang Tiezhu watched and smiled satisfyingly. With this explosive news, who would remember the earlier events? To prevent these old women from gossiping indiscriminately, in the end, he offered ten pounds of meat.

Don’t underestimate ten pounds of meat; in the city, even with meat coupons, it’s over eighty cents a pound. In the village, besides not getting labeled and criticized, the friendly price is one yuan a pound, and he generously offered fatty pork belly, truly paining Zhang Tiezhu this old man!
