"You brat, you've been hiding away from home these past few days, working overtime at the factory. Do you think that'll make a difference?"

As soon as Jiang Haiyang got home, he was met with a barrage of scolding from his mother.

"Mom, I wasn't hiding. I didn't do anything wrong, so why should I hide?"

Jiang Haiyang looked aggrieved.

"You still say you didn't dodge? Fine, I'm not going to argue with you about this."

"You brat, to avoid blind dates, you actually hired someone to pretend to be your girlfriend! The girl ended up yelling at the matchmaker, and the matchmaker then scolded me."

Two days ago, a matchmaker came to her door and gave her a lecture. Only then did she realize that her son had actually found a girl to pretend to be his girlfriend.

It made the matchmaker say that their family was immoral, that they had a girlfriend but still went on blind dates.

Only they, as parents, knew that their son didn't have a girlfriend at all.

It's truly like a mute eating bitter melon—unable to express their feelings.

There's no way to explain it; they won't believe it anyway!

"Mother, please calm down. Why don't you let your brother explain first?"

Perhaps he has some hidden difficulties?

Jiang Haitang, who was standing nearby, quickly spoke up for her brother.

"Yes, yes, honey, don't be angry. Getting angry is bad for your health."

Perhaps the blind date was too outrageous, which is why my son came up with such a plan.

Jiang's father also spoke well of his son.

"Mom, that Lin Jiaojiao is really outrageous. She asked for a dowry of five thousand yuan and also demanded that I arrange an easy job for her."

These are secondary issues. She also demanded that I hand over my salary and said that I had to do all the cooking and housework after get off work. The most outrageous thing she said was that we couldn't live together after marriage and that we had to buy a new house, etc.

I had no choice but to say I have a girlfriend.

Jiang Haiyang spoke his mind freely, his eyebrows furrowing in frustration.

"What?

A bride price of 5,000 yuan?

Why doesn't she just rob a bank?

Is Lin Jiaojiao made of gold?

Or was she a celestial maiden descended to earth?

Jiang Haitang was astonished, wondering just how beautiful Lin Jiaojiao was.

How dare you make such a request?

Does she really think she's a princess or a queen?

"Isn't this nonsense?"

Our son is getting married, not bringing home an ancestor.

"Daughter-in-law, we shouldn't let our son go on blind dates anymore. They're all so outrageous."

Jiang's father was also very angry when he heard this.

The request that Lin Jiaojiao made was simply unheard of.

"Huh? Haiyang, did Lin Jiaojiao really say that?"

Jiang's mother asked in disbelief.

"Of course it's true, why would my son lie to you?"

If you don't believe me, you can ask Lin Jiaojiao yourself!

She said she can find someone better, and if it weren't for my good looks, she wouldn't even want me!

Jiang Haiyang nodded seriously.

"Pah! This gold digger really thinks she's Chang'e under the moon."

My older brother is so outstanding, and she still says she doesn't care!

I wasn't there at the time; if I had, I would have slapped him twice.

Jiang Haitang immediately became unhappy when she heard someone say something bad about her brother.

"Mom, please don't let my older brother go on blind dates anymore. He's such an outstanding person, and it's infuriating to think about him being treated badly."

Jiang Haitang said angrily to her mother.

"Haitang, Mom knows, Mom knows, don't be angry."

But what's up with this matchmaker?

How could I introduce such a vain woman to you?

I'm going to give her a good talking to now, otherwise she'll think my son's a sucker!

Feeling deceived, Jiang's mother was also very angry, as they felt her son had been treated like a long-term laborer.

"Mom, there's no need to say anything more, and don't go looking for a matchmaker."

Several days have passed since then.

Neither Lin Jiaojiao nor I suffered any losses; we just wasted a little time.

Jiang Haiyang held onto his mother, preventing her from leaving.

Going there would only lead to a pointless argument; he hadn't really taken the matter to heart.

"Wife, our son is right, let's just let this matter go."

Father Jiang advised.

"No, that matchmaker still charged me ten yuan as a referral fee! I have to go and get the money back."

Jiang's mother continued walking out.

"Mom, you're not getting that referral fee back."

It's not that they didn't try to introduce him to someone; they did, but his son didn't like the girl, so the money's just gone!

Jiang Haiyang said helplessly.

“Mom, my brother is right. Consider that ten yuan as money wasted on the dog,” Jiang Haitang echoed.

"Forget it, wife, it's only ten yuan. Besides, what our son said is right. The matchmaker took the money and did the job, so you have no reason to ask for the money back."

"If you really go after that ten yuan referral fee, the matchmaker will just keep badmouthing you and Haiyang. It's not worth it. Let's just forget about the ten yuan!"

Jiang's father smiled and offered his advice.

To understand your wife, it's not about caring about ten dollars, but about feeling cheated and resentful.

"Fine then! Consider it feeding the dogs, let her eat her fill."

Jiang's mother thought about her husband's words and felt that they made some sense, after all, the matchmaker's words were really powerful.

He sighed and sat back down in his chair.

"Mom, don't sigh. It's easy for my brother to want a girlfriend!"

Now there's a really good one.

Jiang Haitang said with a beaming smile.

"What did you say, you little brat?"

There is one right here, but where is it?

Is it your classmate or your friend?

Upon hearing her daughter's words, Jiang's mother's eyes immediately lit up.

"Mom, you've met this girl before, you know her. She even saved my brother's life back then!"
