On the day of the social event, Lin Jingyue first took Xiaomingyue to school before heading to their destination.

The weather was nice today, so she put on the coat that had been sitting at the bottom of her trunk. It must be said, the coat was well-made and made of good materials, and it was very warm, so she didn't need to bundle up like a bear today.

When I arrived at the venue, there were already many people there. Everyone was getting ready and trying their best to present their best selves.

Lin Jingyue is a divorced woman, so she doesn't really have much of a market among so many young men.

"Sister, you're here!" Zhou Yingying looked around and finally saw a familiar face. She immediately came over to greet her.

"There are so many people! I thought only a few factory workers were participating, but I didn't expect soldiers to participate as well."

Following the direction she pointed, I saw a group of men in military green uniforms standing there. They stood very straight, and their exposed skin was quite dark. Their eyes were bright and alert, but they weren't looking around aimlessly.

After taking one look, Lin Jingyue looked away. Most of the people here were as she had imagined—simple and honest—but none of them caught her eye. Perhaps her standards were too high, or perhaps her destined partner hadn't arrived yet.

"Yingying, what's your ideal type? Maybe I can help you find a few." Bored, she started looking for things to do.

I've never been a matchmaker before, so if I can help facilitate a marriage, that would be a good thing.

Zhou Yingying thought for a moment, then shook her head. "I don't know either. I just want to find someone who treats me well. Like my parents, they rarely argue in their lives. They are my role models. I want to find someone like my dad. Someone who is family-oriented, responsible, and doesn't beat his wife."

Can not beating one's wife be considered a standard?

Yes, because there are many wives who beat their husbands around here, they just don't do it openly.

"Well, with your requirements, you'll only know the other person's personality after you get to know them. My judgment might not be very good, and it wouldn't be good if I found you someone you don't like." She was just being playful and didn't really want to be a matchmaker.

There are many men who don't beat their wives, but that doesn't mean they're all good. Take Chen Lao Er, for example; he doesn't beat his wife, but he subject her to emotional abuse.

"Sis, my mom's calling me. I'll go over there now, we'll talk later!"

"Okay, go ahead."

After parting ways with Zhou Yingying, Lin Jingyue found a corner to stay in. She wasn't very interested in the recent social gathering and planned to find an opportunity to leave later.

Over the past six months, she has taken good care of herself. Her natural appearance was already quite good, and with a little dressing up, she looked rather stylish. This attracted a lot of attention.

After learning that she was divorced, many people immediately changed their minds. But not everyone, since there were also divorced men among them who came to the blind date.

But none of these people were to her liking.

“I earn over fifty yuan a month. After sending ten yuan back to my hometown, I can still save quite a bit. I also have two sons. When you marry into the family, all you need to do is be a good wife and mother. If you have children, let your ex-husband take care of them. We can still have our own children. I'm just worried that too many children will lead to more conflicts.”

The man with hair wax on his head spoke eloquently, and although he wasn't much taller, he still liked to look down on people. He was completely unaware that the other person's gaze was growing increasingly cold.

"My requirements are simple: you can't bring your ex-wife's children with you when you marry me, because I don't know how to take care of other people's children. And I must raise my own children myself, because I'm afraid someone else will spoil them. If you can accept these two conditions, then I can consider it."

The man's face immediately changed. "That's my son, my own flesh and blood! How could you be so vicious?"

"Aren't my children my children too?"

"You're being completely unreasonable. A man like me doesn't mind you, you should be grateful. What other good man will you find if you miss out on me? Humph!"

Watching the man's departing figure, Lin Jingyue felt only a little tired. Perhaps she was overthinking it; how could there possibly be true love?

Forget it, let's just go home and see if we can pick the kids up from school.

He turned to leave, but accidentally bumped into someone. Looking at the empty space beside him, it seemed as if he had bumped into someone by accident.

Not wanting to cause trouble, she apologized and was about to leave, but someone stopped her.

"I've already apologized, what do you want from me?"

Looking up, she saw the man in military green staring at her nervously. Despite his tanned face, she noticed a strange flush.

"Comrade, hello. My name is Zhao Weiguo. I'm twenty-five years old and currently a deputy company commander, but I'll be promoted to company commander soon. My allowance is fifty-two yuan. I don't need to support my parents for the time being. I have an older brother and a younger brother, both of whom live in our hometown. That's all my information. Comrade, I...I...I'd like to develop a revolutionary friendship with you. What do you think?"

The young man blushed and stammered out his conditions. His legs were trembling with nervousness, but his eyes remained fixed on the other person, determined to hear the answer.

But Lin Jingyue fell silent. The face of the other person, so identical to her deceased husband's, shocked her. Although she desperately didn't want to think about her dead husband, at this moment, she couldn't help but think of him.

Should she accept it? But looking at that face, she couldn't help but think of the word "body double." For Zhao Weiguo, this was unfair.

She could easily find a boyfriend who was a different type of person from her deceased husband, but she couldn't take it for granted when faced with a face that looked exactly like her deceased husband's.

Oh, not exactly the same. My deadbeat husband is a bit fairer; he's too dark.

"Comrade, comrade? Can you give me an answer?" Zhao Weiguo wondered if he had frightened her by seeing that she was silent.

But there was nothing he could do; from the very first moment he saw her, his heart was pounding. In that instant, he understood what love at first sight truly meant.

I've been on blind dates before, but I just never felt that spark. Every time I thought about compromising for my mother's sake, I ultimately decided I didn't want to keep settling.

What's the point of marrying a woman you don't love?

But when I saw this woman today, I had this thought in my mind: he was waiting for her, and she must belong to him!

"I..." The words I used to refuse those people before were now hard to say.

Lin Jingyue didn't want to talk about the original owner's experiences, but now she is Lin Qiumei, and those things really happened.

"I'm married."
