Zhong Wanwan accidentally transmigrated into a novel, becoming the eldest daughter of the capitalist Zhong family in Jincheng in 1971.
The luxury influencer-style highway rest stop she had ju...
Zhong Wanwan cursed inwardly. What kind of blessing was this? Marrying into a widow's family meant having to serve a mean mother-in-law and take care of her younger siblings. She had had enough of a good life and didn't want this kind of blessing!
Zhong Wanwan directly refused:
"Go back to where you came from. I have no intention of finding a partner on the farm. You can introduce any good young men you have to whomever you like!"
Matchmaker Li was surprised to be turned away before she could even introduce anyone. She was a little embarrassed, but she couldn't leave the job unfinished. She was still thinking about the 5 yuan thank-you gift that Widow Wu had mentioned!
To be honest, Widow Wu really went all out. The thank-you gift was only one yuan, but she directly asked for a whopping five yuan.
Matchmaker Li tried to smooth things over:
"Master Zhong, what are you saying? Men should marry when they are of age and women should marry when they are of age. You have gone to the countryside to work on the farm. Who knows when you will be able to return to the city? Why don't you look for someone on the farm?"
"Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart: a woman's prime is so short. While you're still young, you'd better hurry up and find a good one!"
Matchmaker Li acted as if she cared about Zhong Wanwan's well-being, earnestly advising her with great enthusiasm, her words flowing like spittle.
Zhong Wanwan's face grew increasingly grim. Even after she had said all that, the matchmaker hadn't backed down. It seemed that Widow Wu had offered quite a generous reward.
Zhong Wanwan sneered:
"Oh, then tell me, what kind of good family can a widow with three sons and a daughter have?"
"Having a mean-spirited mother, younger siblings, and being treated like a slave at home—what kind of good life is that?"
Matchmaker Li was startled that Zhong Wanwan knew about it, and felt a little embarrassed, but she still tried to make amends:
"That's not entirely true. Widow Wu may seem fierce on the outside, but she's incredibly kind to her own people!"
"Besides, although the Wu family has many children and is working a little harder now, they will all be a help when they grow up."
“Wu Dazhu is also capable. He can earn 12 work points during the busy farming season, which is not much on the farm. He is also good-looking and tall. You two are about the same age, you are a perfect match!”
"If this works out, Master Zhong won't have to show his face in public anymore. He can pass on his skills to Dazhu and let Dazhu do the hard work. You can stay at home, do the washing and cleaning, and enjoy a peaceful and comfortable life!"
Going out to work means showing your face and getting tired, while staying at home to take care of the family is considered enjoying a life of leisure. This is truly turning right and wrong upside down!
Zhong Wanwan's Yin-Yang Path:
"That makes a lot of sense!"
The matchmaker, thinking Zhong Wanwan had been fooled, was secretly delighted and chimed in:
"Yeah, yeah, I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice, would I lie to you?"
Zhong Wanwan continued the Yin-Yang Dao:
"That's right. Working outside is called showing your face in public, while staying at home to take care of the whole family and be a housewife is called enjoying a life of leisure. Life is really tough for factory workers in the city. It's much better for housewives in the countryside. Don't you think so, Matchmaker Li?"
"You think these guys are all idiots? Giving up being rural women and focusing all their attention on becoming factory workers in the city, why would they do that? They must have been kicked in the head by a donkey!"
After saying that, Zhong Wanwan looked at the matchmaker with a half-smile, waiting for her to spout more nonsense.
Matchmaker Li, her true intentions exposed, said sheepishly:
"This, this, isn't this a difference between men and women? Men go out to work hard, that's a tradition since ancient times, while women should stay at home to take care of their husbands and raise their children."
What a load of rubbish! I've seen foot binding, but I've never seen anyone want to bind the cerebellum, let alone the feet. This matchmaker Li is just treating her like a little notebook!
Zhong Wanwan laughed in anger, and decided to reason with them, clenching her fist and saying:
“Matchmaker Li is right, but I can’t do any housework. My younger brother Songbai cooks all the meals. If Songbai isn’t home, Xiaobaiyang does the cooking. I don’t lift a finger.”
"Of course, there are also chores I can do. I chop all the obstacles in the house. Sometimes I use an axe, but if my hands are itching, I'll chop them with my bare hands."
"I may not be good at anything else, but when it comes to fighting, I'm one against four. I can easily take on a wolf in sheep's clothing. When I'm looking for a partner, I don't care about anything else, the most important thing is that she and her family can take a beating."
"By the way, I have a big appetite. I can easily eat the amount of food that 3 to 4 men would eat. I also have a sweet tooth and love to eat meat. I don't say I have meat at every meal, but I eat meat at least twice a week!"
"These are my requirements. Matchmaker Li, please tell Widow Wu the truth and see if her family is willing."
That's definitely a lie. Not to mention that she couldn't possibly break through Zhan Lang's defenses with her bare hands, Zhong Wanwan does all the housework she can, even if she doesn't cook!
However, the matchmaker believed it; no matchmaker is ever uninformed.
The fact that Zhong Wanwan couldn't cook was something that Zhong Wanwan and her two siblings never hid from each other, and Matchmaker Li had heard about it.
The story of Zhong Wanwan fighting six wolves had spread far and wide, and it was impossible for Matchmaker Li not to know about it.
The only thing I didn't expect was that Zhong Wanwan also liked to hit people at home, and she ate a lot and was very greedy. What kind of woman is this?!
She's cunning, lazy, greedy, slippery, and abusive; whoever marries her is doomed!
Matchmaker Li glanced at Zhong Songbai and Xiao Baiyang subconsciously, thinking that the two boys were so thin and skinny because Zhong Wanwan had taken their food and often beat them.
Fortunately, it wasn't her family's younger generation who took a liking to Zhong Wanwan. Otherwise, that green tea bitch, Widow Wu, would have been dealt with by Zhong Wanwan, the female Zhang Fei.
Matchmaker Li usually brings together both sides, but she doesn't just keep it a secret from one side. As long as the matchmaking gift is given properly, she can turn black into white.
For Matchmaker Li, once Zhong Wanwan agreed, the matter would be simple.
She's a jerk, doesn't work, eats a lot, and has a sweet tooth—who would know if she didn't tell them!
Matchmaker Li patted her chest and assured her:
"Don't worry, Master Zhong, I promise I'll pass on these words to Widow Wu and Wu Dazhu. Just wait for my good news!"
Zhong Wanwan wasn't surprised at all that the matchmaker, Li, would say that. She nodded and said:
"Alright, Matchmaker Li, go ahead and do the talking. I'll be waiting for your good news!"
"But let me make this clear from the start: I hate being lied to the most. If I ask someone else to pass this on and she doesn't, I'll be extremely angry!"
"When I get angry, I'm prone to hitting someone or smashing up a house. I don't know if that person's house can withstand the damage, or if their whole family can take a beating!"
"It's alright, it's alright, you go ahead and talk to Widow Wu properly. As long as her family is willing, I have no objections!"
"I can eat for free and not have to do any work. Oh my, I'm really going to enjoy my retirement!"
