Two days later
While walking her dog again, Xiaoxiao noticed a group of people gathered together, seemingly discussing something. She pretended not to care but was all ears.
"Hey, have you heard? Hehua and Yang Wei are getting married."
"What? Really? Can the Yang Family afford a hundred silver taels?"
"What hundred silver taels? It only cost five taels."
"What? Had I known it was just five taels, I would have proposed too."
"Give it a rest. Even if you offered a hundred taels, they still wouldn't choose you!"
"Hahaha."
The crowd burst into laughter. Xiaoxiao didn't continue listening and went home with her dog.
So those two were set. Did this make her an indirect matchmaker? Five taels was acceptable, though more expensive than her.
As she reached her doorstep, she heard Yang Wei's voice, brimming with joy, "Third sister-in-law, I'm getting married!"
"..." Yes, yes, the whole village knows by now; you're so happy, everyone has come to greet her.
