The old couple only had this one daughter, and they always looked at her like the apple of their eye. Jiang Xiaoci's eyes also turned red, and he hugged Jiang's mother tightly, comforting her: "It's okay, Mom, I'm not afraid."

Having said that, Jiang's mother was still a little worried.

Father Jiang said, "Xiao Ci, your mother is right. You must not be implicated in this matter no matter what. You must get married as soon as possible to avoid being targeted. Your mother and I are really worried."

Mother Jiang herself thought so too. The old couple also felt that they had to make preparations according to what they had agreed upon before. As long as their daughter married someone else, Lu Yaozu would have nothing to do and they would not have to worry about him doing anything bad.

Mother Jiang said, "Xiao Ci, it's right to listen to your father about this matter. If you don't object, Mom will find someone to arrange a blind date for you. If you can't avoid going to the countryside, we will let you get married, and then we can feel at ease."

Now that things have come to this, what else can Jiang Xiaoci say? She nodded without objection.

Seeing their daughter didn't object, Jiang's mother and daughter breathed a sigh of relief, yet also felt a pang of sadness. In fact, from their perspective, their daughter was still young, so they didn't plan to rush into marriage.

Now, because the situation is stronger than them, they have no choice but to rush to find a matchmaker to propose marriage. This behavior is quite degrading for the woman, but apart from this, they really have no other choice now.

Since they had made up their minds, Jiang's mother did not delay any longer. That day, the two of them took Jiang Xiaoci and hurried to find a matchmaker, hoping to arrange a blind date for Jiang Xiaoci as soon as possible so that the marriage could be finalized as soon as possible.

There was an old matchmaker in the town who was known as Wang the Matchmaker. She was well-known for her eloquence and was best at matchmaking.

Jiang's mother took Jiang Xiaoci and a generous gift to the home of matchmaker Wang in the town.

After explaining her purpose, matchmaker Wang was so happy to see that the girl's family was so considerate that they had prepared a generous gift without her even telling her.

When I saw Jiang Xiaoci in person, my eyes lit up and I thought this girl was really pretty.

Jiang Xiaoci was wearing a plain cotton-padded jacket, which was a popular style at the time. The color was simple yet elegant.

She had two black braids that fell on her shoulders. Beneath her light eyebrows, her almond-shaped eyes were clear and bright, revealing a hint of shyness and innocence.

As Matchmaker Wang looked her over, she immediately praised her, "Oh, what a pretty girl! Look at her eyes and eyebrows, so bright and lively! It's hard to find a girl like her in our area."

Jiang Xiaoci felt embarrassed by her praise and his face turned slightly red with embarrassment.

Jiang's mother also smiled, "His aunt is too kind. I have to trouble you to find a good family for our little Ci."

Matchmaker Wang patted her chest and promised on the spot: "Well, such a beautiful girl, whoever marries her will be blessed. As your aunt, I will definitely find a good family for her!"

Jiang's mother thanked him profusely, and Jiang Xiaoci said graciously, "Auntie, thank you for your trouble."

She spoke with a clear voice and was generous and polite in her speech and behavior. The more Wang the matchmaker saw her, the more she liked her. She couldn't help but pull Wang's mother to sit down and talk.

Matchmaker Wang was in high spirits and started to spill the beans.

"Come to think of it, there's a young man who's been on a blind date lately. He's very handsome and comes from a well-off family. His father is a veteran, and his mother is the director of a garment factory. He's the youngest son in the family, born in old age, and has always been very favored."

However, matchmaker Wang still had some reservations and did not say that the young man was good in every way, had a good family background and a rich family background, and was also handsome, but he looked a little weak and sickly.
