Chapter 191 - Someone’s Playing Matchmaker 5

After the house was complete, a few workers were sorting out the lumber discard nearby. The villagers all enjoy making comments about the new building whenever they pass by it.

They would say with emotion in their voices, “This house is finally complete.”

“Is the Qi girl going to appear soon?” Madam Liu asked excitedly.

“Why are you so concerned about whether the Eleventh Daughter will appear or not?” Ma Sanye asked, curious.

“Well…I only wanted to… introduce some in-laws to the Eleventh Daughter?”

Absolutely delighted, Madam Liu cupped her mouth with her hand, “I’m a well-known matchmaker from town. I was moved after I heard what the Eleventh Daughter had experienced. Back then, everyone she met had been inhumane. Now that the Eleventh Daughter’s mind is better, she naturally has the right to pursue her own happiness and for a better tomorrow. I have found a few families and now I’m just waiting for the Eleventh Daughter to show up so that I can introduce them to her. ”

Surprised, Ma Sanye said, “Could you be the famous Madam Liu from town?”

“Oh dear, the village head knows who I am now,” Madam Liu said embarrassedly.

Ma Sanye grabbed Madam Liu’s hand eagerly, “Please introduce potential in-laws to my niece too, she is in the midst of looking for a partner as well.”

Hearing this, Madam Liu’s first thought was about how she did not expect to find work the moment she reached Linquan Village. She happily followed Ma Sanye back to his home. The people in the village who recognized her as the famous matchmaker in town also rushed to Ma Sanye’s home, all thinking of matching off their children who were of age.

After the house was completed and the surrounding things had been cleared, it was already the twenty-fifth of the new year.

Jiang Yeqian and Si Jin brought Qi Qingyao and the kids over. Qi Qingyao’s eyes were almost popping from surprise when she got the first glimpse of the new house after getting off the carriage.

“It really…looks like a bungalow!”

It very much stood out when compared to the surrounding buildings.

Qi Qingyao turned to look at Jiang Yeqian excitedly, “Look at my house, doesn’t it look handsome standing here!”

Jiang Yeqian, “…” ‘What does a house have to do with looking handsome or not?’

“It’s handsome,” Si Jin praised.

The children’s expressions were a bit dumbfounded but also excited as they took in the sight of the beautiful building.

This was their home…

They would have a home in the future.

They wanted to live inside it with their Mommy!

Qi Qingyao keenly noticed the children’s teary-eyed expression and smiled as she rubbed their heads.

The children pursed their lips and rubbed their eyes. They hugged their mother’s legs, embarrassed.

Qi Qingyao instructed Si Jin, “Hurry, let off the firecrackers.”

Si Jin hurriedly brought out the few strings of prepared firecrackers but he did not dare light them. He was quite afraid of exceptionally loud sounds and so passed the firecrackers to Jiang Yeqian. Jiang Yeqian glanced at the cowardly Si Jin and, without any expression, walked to the side and lit the few strings of firecrackers.

The lively sound of firecrackers attracted half of the villagers over. Everyone looked admiringly at the small building. From the old Qi family, only Qi Yuanye and his wife, Madam Tian, who he brought over, stood at the side as they watched the commotion before leaving with sour expressions.

Qi Qingyao looked at the villagers who came to join them, as well as the masters and workers who had worked tirelessly for half a month. She glanced at the few carriages and supplies behind her.

Qi Qingyao waved.

The workers quickly set up the tarpaulin tent while the cooks set up the stoves beside them. One could easily tell they were professionals from their deft movements.

These actions stunned the villagers.

‘What was going on?’

Qi Qingyao turned around and bowed to the villagers with her hands in front of her.

“The house is complete. I have invited some chefs today for the occasion to treat everyone to a feast! Dig in!”

The crowd, “…”

‘What?’
