As for looks, that was just a bonus. Even if Lin Meifeng had the same yellow, haggard complexion as many villagers, he wouldn't mind. After all, he wasn't a particularly handsome man himself.
After thinking it over, Jiang Ziyu finally relented and agreed, "Fine. I will give you both bags, but in return, you have to help me prepare my betrothal gifts. You don't have to worry about the money or coupons—just help me figure out how to get them."
The moment he heard this, Li Lingyun agreed immediately, "Deal!"
With that settled, Lu Jueyu said, "Brother Jiang, since you have made up your mind, let's visit Aunt Lin and express your intentions. We still need to hear Sister Meifeng's opinion on this matter."
Jiang Ziyu nodded and replied with a smile, "Of course."
After finishing their honey water, he went to freshen up and change into a clean set of clothes. With his hair neatly combed and slicked back with hair gel, he looked tidy and presentable.
Despite his rugged demeanor, his height and muscular build gave him a masculine charm that was rare among villagers.
Observing him from head to toe, Lu Jueyu praised, "Brother Jiang, you look neat and handsome. I think Sister Meifeng will agree to marry you when she sees you."
Hearing his wife compliment another man, Li Chenmo's vinegar jar was broken. He pulled her hand and said, "Wife, I'm more handsome than him."
Just as he said this, Pan Meijia nodded in agreement and added, "Indeed. Third brother is the most handsome man I have ever met."
"What about me?" Li Lingyun asked unhappily.
Unlike Lu Jueyu, who knew how to coax her husband, Pan Meijia was still new to her role as a wife. So, she didn't notice her husband's jealousy was acting up.
She smiled at him and replied honestly, "Husband, you are different from Third Brother. You are also handsome, but maybe because he is younger, he looks a little better."
Before Li Lingyun could sulk, she added, "But you are still the best for me because you are my husband and I like you."
Li Lingyun snorted when he heard his wife's words but said nothing. He would remember this and settle the score with his wife later tonight.
After they locked the doors, Li Lingyun and Pan Meijia also followed them to visit Aunt Lin. With three tall men walking together, the villagers were attracted to them, not to mention that they were holding bags and bamboo baskets.
Seeing that it was the Li brothers and their wives, one of the middle-aged women asked, "Jueyu ah, where are you going with your family?"
Lu Jueyu looked at the middle-aged woman and replied, "Aunty, we are going to visit Aunt Lin."
Hearing this, another old woman asked, "Jueyu ah, are you going to discuss Liu Piao's wedding?"
Everyone had already heard about the Zhang and Liu families' upcoming marriage. They knew that Lu Jueyu would be the one responsible for the wedding banquet, so it was normal for her to visit Aunt Lin, the matchmaker, to discuss it.
