"That's just too short, barely taller than me, I don't even know if he's 1.5 meters," Gao Xiangchun said irritably.
"So what? He's the best option we've had in the past few days," Li Xiaomei replied.
"Honestly, what's the big deal about being short? It doesn't affect our daily lives. What's more important is living well," Li Xiaomei added, speaking the truth.
However, Gao Xiangchun was still reluctant to settle for someone like that. She pleaded with Li Xiaomei, "Mom, can you please ask around a bit more? What if there's someone more suitable?"
Li Xiaomei was certainly willing to help her daughter find someone she liked. With a sigh, she agreed, "Alright, I'll look for a matchmaker again, but finding someone suitable isn't easy."
"People who are good in every aspect wouldn't marry a rural youth," she continued. "Try to find a couple more matchmakers; we still have two days left. Let's see if we can find someone suitable by tomorrow."
"If it really doesn't work out, Xiangchun, you might have to marry that young man your aunt introduced."
"I know you feel wronged. But think about it—marrying a decent guy who's just short is better than marrying some second-rate guy from the countryside, right?"
"Your mom's right; what's there to fear about being short? As long as life is good, that's what matters most."
And besides, you have to consider that even if you marry and move back to the city, it won't be a bad thing. I've heard that the short guy's father is a small leader at the factory. If you marry his son, he might even help you find a job."
The more Gao Dazhu spoke about this young man, the more he felt he was a good match for his daughter. He wished she could marry him right away.
Gao Xiangchun was swayed by Gao Dazhu's words.
"Yeah, no matter how handsome someone is, if they can't provide for you, what’s the point of living like that?" She thought about how after marriage she could also have a job and earn money. Suddenly, being short didn't seem like such a flaw anymore.
"Maybe I should think it over again; you all make valid points," she said. "Living well is what truly matters; everything else is just superficial." In an instant, Gao Xiangchun changed her mind.
"That's good to hear. Now I'll go talk to your aunt and see if she can discuss this with the boy's family," Li Xiaomei said.
"I wonder if they had any thoughts after you rejected them last time," she added.
This time, Gao Xiangchun remained silent and tacitly agreed.
Seeing her daughter’s acceptance, Li Xiaomei quickly left to arrange this matter.
Two days later, as expected, Ye Fangfei received the wedding invitation for Gao Xiangchun.
"Xiao Ye, our Xiangchun is getting married tomorrow. You all must come!" Li Xiaomei was going door to door in the courtyard to notify everyone.
"Sure, we'll definitely be there," Ye Fangfei replied readily.
Afterward, Ye Fangfei took a pair of pillowcases and brought them over to Gao Xiangchun. Just then, she ran into Aunt Zhao, who was also carrying a bedsheet.
"Xiangchun, congratulations!" Ye Fangfei said as she handed over the pillowcases.
"Thank you, Sister Ye. Please sit down and have some wedding candy," Gao Xiangchun replied, accepting the gifts and offering two pieces of candy to Ye Fangfei.
"Old Gao, if there's anything you need help with for the wedding, just let us know. We neighbors are always here to support you," Aunt Zhao said.
"Alright, I’ll remember that. Sister Zhao, the wedding is set for tomorrow. Will you all be coming to the banquet?"
"And you too, Xiao Ye! Make sure you all come early," Li Xiaomei said with a bright smile, her previous worries forgotten.
