Farm Girl's Manor-Chapter 1353: Side Story Five: What Is Sought_2

Wu’s eyes brightened, and she nodded continuously, "Good, let’s do it this way first."

Mo Yan smiled and then turned her gaze to Dani, tentatively saying, "Big Sister Dani is becoming more and more beautiful, such a pretty and capable girl, I wonder who will be lucky enough to have her in the future."

Dani’s face quickly flushed with a touch of shyness. With her head lowered, she twisted her hands together uneasily, not knowing what to say.

"Don’t even mention it, this thoughtless girl has become a constant worry for me!" Wu’s, who had just been smiling, now had her brows deeply furrowed, "This girl has suffered with me in the early years, so I thought I would let her choose her own match. But she, on the other hand, has had dozens of matchmakers come knocking at our door, if not hundreds, and she refuses every one of them! She’s even three years older than you, turning twenty-one this year, and she’s not anxious at all. She’s driving me to my grave with worry..."

With no outsiders present, Wu’s poured out all her complaints about Dani. Although her words were full of dissatisfaction, anyone could hear the love and concern she had for Dani. Otherwise, she would have long since arranged a marriage for Dani, following her own criteria for a son-in-law, without allowing Dani any chance to refuse.

"Mother..." Dani called out somewhat embarrassed, unable to raise her head because of what her mother had said.

She had heard these words at home numerous times and knew that at her age, she was putting her mother and family in a difficult position, facing gossip from outside. Yet she really hadn’t thought in that direction and even had the notion of never marrying. Caught between a rock and a hard place, she selfishly followed her own wishes, delaying as long as she could.

"Hmph, you enjoy hearing all this from mother, so why don’t you ever think about mother’s efforts?" Wu’s directed her anger squarely at Dani, "Compared to other parents who directly decide their daughters’ marriages, allowing you to choose your own is considered liberal, isn’t it? But you, not only failing to appreciate mother’s intentions but also letting mother endure the gossip—it wouldn’t matter if our family had to provide for you for a whole lifetime. But is this truly good for you? Mother doesn’t want you to be lonely later in life, I can’t be with you forever..."

As she spoke, Wu’s eyes gradually reddened. Remembering they were at the Mo Family’s home and it was Mo Yan’s day of return visit, she quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said no more.

Seeing this, Mo Yan hurriedly tried to console her, "Aunt Wu, Big Sister Dani knows what she’s doing, you shouldn’t worry too much!"

Now she felt awkward, having only intended to probe whether Dani was still preoccupied with Yan Junyu, which was why she was reluctant to marry, but unexpectedly, she had touched Wu’s emotions. Had she known it would turn out like this, she would not have asked in the first place.

Wu’s noticed Mo Yan’s discomfort and instead began to console her, "Even if you hadn’t brought it up, I would have had to discuss it with you! Speaking of it, it’s thanks to your help that the Wu family has come this far. I know my family owes you a debt we can never repay in this lifetime, so I must make another bold request of you here."

By the end, Wu’s expression turned exceptionally solemn, almost ready to demonstrate her seriousness with her actions.

Mo Yan, disregarding the awkwardness, firmly declared, "Aunt Wu, you’re taking this too seriously. If it weren’t for you frequently sharing your portion of food with us siblings back in those days, we might have starved to death. Helping you is also because you had previously shown kindness to my family. Please don’t mention this debt again."

Wu’s wiped the corners of her eyes and nodded firmly, "Alright, I will never say these words again."

Mo Yan’s face showed a smile again and she asked, "If you need my help with anything, just say it. As long as I can help, I will surely help."

Wu’s glanced at Dani, steeled her heart, and said, "I can’t indulge this girl any longer, and I don’t have the face to go back to those matchmakers who have come to our house. Since you know many people, can you help me find out if there is a suitable young man out there? I ask for nothing more than someone who is down-to-earth, someone who will treat her well. Even if he is two or three years younger, it’s not a problem."

At Dani’s age, it was somewhat difficult to find a suitable man who was still unmarried for the first time. Although finding someone younger was also not easy, the options were somewhat broader. There are families who would prefer an older, more sensible daughter-in-law—why else would the saying go ’a woman over twenty is like a treasure’?

Mo Yan hadn’t expected it to be this request; she instinctively looked at Dani, who was watching her with a nervous expression. She didn’t immediately agree, but instead said, "I’ll ask around, but I can’t guarantee anything to you, Aunt Wu."
