Jiang Tang returned to Youcaoling Village from Shaluo Village, exhausted and looking forward to a couple of days of comfortable rest at home to relieve her fatigue. But before she could even sit down, her mother couldn't wait to pull her aside and start talking about blind dates.

"My daughter, you can't keep being so picky. You're getting dizzy from picking so much! When I was your age, our own children could already help with cooking!" The mother advised earnestly, her eyes full of anxiety.

Jiang Tang agreed nonchalantly, trying to figure out how to get rid of the topic. "Yeah, yeah, Mom, I know. But I suddenly remembered that I have some important things to deal with in the village, so I have to go back quickly." With that, she began to pack her things, ready to slip away.

When the mother heard this, her face was filled with helplessness. "Oh, child, you're leaving right after coming back. What are you going to do about your blind date? Zhang Hexi is such a great guy, can't you go and meet him?"

When Jiang Tang heard the name "Zhang Hexi," she shook her head like a rattle. "No, no, I wouldn't accept it even if I were beaten to death!" She knew full well that in the book, the original owner married Zhang Hexi. Recalling the plot of the book, Jiang Tang felt a chill run down her spine. At that party, the original owner had intended to get Gu Jingshen drunk so she could have sex with the male protagonist, but a strange combination of circumstances led to Zhang Hexi getting drunk as well. Her plan was then discovered by the female protagonist, and she ended up sleeping with him without realizing it.

After marriage, Zhang Hexi acted warm and cheerful to everyone else, but he was cold and indifferent to the original owner, as if she were a complete stranger. Every day when he returned home, he would say nothing if possible, and every month he would give the original owner twenty yuan for living expenses, which made them grow tired of each other. The original owner and Xia Qiu were jealous of each other in the compound, and the fight was a mess, but Zhang Hexi stayed out of it completely, as if it had nothing to do with him. Later, he even took the initiative to apply for a transfer. Later, after the original owner disappeared, he quickly remarried and lived a happy life.

And what about the original owner? He was trafficked to the mountains, living a life of darkness. Thinking of this, Jiang Tang couldn't help but shudder. She must not get involved with a man like that.

After leaving home, Jiang Tang immediately contacted Meng Si Ning. Meng Si Ning quickly replied with a message: "Didn't you say you were back? Why are you gone again?", with curiosity between the lines.

"Don't mention it. A few days ago, you told me that Aunt Meihua was proposing a marriage for my sister, but I guessed wrong. It was me. And it was the official match in the book, Zhang Hexi!" Jiang Tang replied, her voice full of annoyance.

Meng Si Ning also became interested [Your official match? How is it? ]

[What else can I do? In the book, that guy is polite to everyone except his wife, who is like an outsider. Every day when he comes home, he is like a mute, and he only gives her 20 yuan a month for living expenses. The two of them dislike each other. The original owner caused chaos in the compound, but he ignored it and later took the initiative to transfer away. After the original owner disappeared, he immediately remarried and lived a happy life.] Jiang Tang became more and more angry, and his fingers tapped rapidly on the screen of his mobile phone.

【Where did the original owner go later? 】

[She was sold to the mountains. How miserable! I definitely wouldn't want a man like that.]

Meng Si Ning agreed deeply. "Cold violence is much more terrible than quarreling every day. You really shouldn't want a man like that. But why did you suddenly bring up a blind date?"

[I'm thinking that maybe our appearance disrupted the plot.]

Meng Si Ning also thought it made sense. "But it's not a good idea for you to keep hiding like this."

"How about I find myself a boyfriend? That way they won't arrange blind dates for me anymore." Jiang Tang suddenly had an idea and came up with it.

"You say that so easily. I know the official partner died early, so I know the details so I can deal with it better. Can you find a man at random and trust him?"

[Yeah, I'm only seventeen, why would I want to go on a blind date?] Jiang Tang couldn't help but complain.

[It's actually quite simple. You go on a blind date, then say you don't like the person, and then you're done, right?]

[No, no, if I start this, more people will definitely introduce me to potential partners in the future. I don't want to be annoyed by these things.]

Meng Si Ning sighed helplessly. In this day and age, wanting to get married later is considered an anomaly, let alone not getting married at all.

Even before her blind date was settled, Jiang Tang was plagued by farm work. As soon as the crops sprouted in the fields, a new round of weeding began. After two days of hard work, Jiang Tang's back and waist ached, and she couldn't go on. So, she approached Captain Luo with a bold idea.

"Captain Luo, I plan to take our village's tea to the neighboring province in the south to see if we can open up a new market." Jiang Tang said seriously.

Captain Luo frowned. "We want to sell our tea to the neighboring province? Transportation is no small problem."

"Captain Luo, don't worry about that. There are many trucks running that route in our province and other provinces. The trucks from my second uncle's factory often go there. If the deal goes through, we can also cooperate with their factory. Besides, I want to go out of the province for an even more important reason. I want to make our tea famous so that we can participate in the Canton Fair next year."

"Canton Fair? What is that?" Captain Luo looked confused.

"The Canton Fair is a great opportunity to sell our tea to foreigners and earn foreign exchange!" Jiang Tang explained excitedly.

Captain Luo's eyes lit up when he heard the words "earn foreign exchange." While he wasn't entirely sure how to participate in the Canton Fair, he had complete faith in Jiangtang's potential. He immediately called a meeting of the village, and the old secretary agreed.
