Matchmaker Liu is a relative on your aunt's side.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She must be afraid of offending Director Zhou and losing your family's business in the future, that's why she's buttering up your mother like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Si Nian found it amusing: \"To apologize in front of so many people, she certainly has some nerve.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With people like these, there's no shortage of troublemakers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they came for a visit, did anyone actually say sorry?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That incident from the other day wasn't even mentioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Si Nian was surrounded for a while, getting annoyed by the questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly found an excuse to go help in the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More and more people arrived in the courtyard, including Lin's mother's younger sister, Lin Fang, and her mother-in-law. Lin Fang had also rushed over after hearing about the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‍when she got there, no one was attending to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Lin's mother returned, Lin Fang started complaining: \"Second sister-in-law, what's the meaning of this? Leaving us all sitting here waiting for you. No one has eaten; are you trying to starve us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, she peeked at what Lin's mother was carrying and saw she had even brought some good wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately grew envious and was about to say something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the courtyard, Matchmaker Liu arrived and spoke up: \"If you're hungry, why didn't you eat before coming? Is your family so poor you can't afford a meal? Your daughter just got engaged with a five-hundred-yuan bride price; can't you even get food on the table?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Matchmaker Liu said this, Lin Fang shut her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Matchmaker Liu had arranged her daughter's marriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she offended her and Matchmaker Liu said something bad to the groom's family, her daughter's engagement could be called off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't understand why Matchmaker Liu, who usually didn't get along with her second sister-in-law, was now speaking up for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mother-in-law, however, wasn't having it and immediately glared angrily at Matchmaker Liu: \"This is our family's business; mind your own.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't think we don't know. You're just sucking up because her daughter married into a wealthy family. You used to curse worse than anyone, and now you have the nerve.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Matchmaker Liu scoffed: \"So what if I am? I just think Sister Miaomiao's daughter is capable, so I'm making up with her. We may have argued, but we're not mortal enemies. I apologized, and Sister Miaomiao forgave me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not like some people, wanting benefits but showing up empty-handed, expecting to be waited on hand and foot. Disgusting!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who do you think you are? Why should they host you? Acting all high and mighty, one would think you're the successful ones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Matchmaker Liu's mouth ran a mile. After finishing, she immediately held up the biscuits and candy she had rushed home to fetch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Miaomiao, here, I specially bought these for your children. Take them, quick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin's mother was exasperated. What was all this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly tried to push them back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Matchmaker Liu, you're too kind. Such expensive things, you should take them back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Matchmaker Liu immediately looked at her with a hurt expression: \"Miaomiao, are you still angry with your old sister?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin's mother wiped the cold sweat from her brow. The other woman had both apologized and brought gifts; if she held a grudge now, it would really be unreasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Matchmaker Liu immediately beamed, even shooting a super smug glance at Lin Fang and her mother-in-law, nearly making the two of them explode with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They'd never seen someone so proud of themselves for shamelessly sucking up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Really, what was there to be so proud of? Ugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need to go get busy now; everyone's waiting to eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin's mother didn't want to say more and hurriedly looked for an excuse to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Matchmaker Liu immediately slapped her thigh, \"Cooking? That's my specialty! Here, let me help you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Matchmaker Liu's approach actually worked, others also put on ingratiating smiles and offered to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Lin Fang and her mother-in-law fume.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a knock at the gate interrupted everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, is this Si Nian's home?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",741,"2026-06-06T12:38:58.697Z",1,"novelbin.me","90aecc0ea697a2b84684bbe9cb4c98caaf2243d2b713b6959ab75807775eadce","the-beautiful-stepmother-from-the-eighties-marry-chapter-226","the-beautiful-stepmother-from-the-eighties-marry-chapter-224",482,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-beautiful-stepmother-from-the-eighties-marry-cover.jpg"]
