Yellow River is full of fish, but you wouldn’t know it. I wanted a gentle and loving husband but the matchmaker found only mean and rough ones. The water’s muddy but the current’s gentle. If a man weren’t cruel, I wouldn’t care how ugly he is. The matchmaker went fishing but the geese flew free. That’s how I ended up with this toad.
