Tao Ying never thought about remarrying. In her previous life, she couldn't find a partner to go to the grave with at the age of thirty-three. In this life, at forty-five with several children in tow, what good partner could she possibly find?

Are you suggesting we find an old man with a condescending air about him?

"Tao Ying, aren't you afraid that your children won't have anyone to introduce them to potential partners if you treat me like this?" Matchmaker Sun wiped her face, feeling her skin burning. This tiger woman actually splashed hot water on her. Luckily, she had let it cool for a while, otherwise she would have gotten big blisters.

"If no one introduces them, no one introduces them. If they can't find a partner, it's their own fault for being useless. What does it have to do with me? Are you leaving or not? If you don't, I'll slap you." Tao Ying put her hands on her hips and pointed at Matchmaker Sun, cursing.

"What kind of man are you looking for? With your qualifications, what are you looking for?" Matchmaker Sun was still a little unwilling to give up. The man had promised her a ten-yuan reward if the deal went well.

"Of course I have to find someone with a house and a job, and his salary can't be lower than my husband's. This house is for my eldest daughter and granddaughter, and I also need to buy a house for my second son to get married. My youngest son still needs to go to university. After he finishes, he'll need to find a job, get married, and buy a house. My youngest daughter also needs to go to university, and I'll need to provide a dowry when she gets married. Also, I can't cook, so the groom's family will have to cook and clean. And I can't put up with being mistreated," Tao Ying said, crossing her arms and looking at the matchmaker, Sun.

Matchmaker Sun: "..."

The girls who were secretly watching from inside the house...

It took the matchmaker a while to find her voice: "Do you think you're some kind of virgin? Why don't you just fly to the moon?"

"That's why I came to you, since I couldn't get up there. Didn't you have some amazing news? What? I haven't even picked out the guy's looks or age yet." Tao Ying stood up straight and spoke with complete confidence.

"You, you..." Matchmaker Sun was so angry she couldn't speak.

"Get out of here!" Tao Ying, having recovered, picked up the broom and swung it at him again.

“You’re sure no one will want you.” Matchmaker Sun hurriedly ran out, only to find a crowd of people standing outside.

"Oh my god!" The onlookers were startled by Matchmaker Sun.

Tao Ying didn't feel embarrassed at all and slammed the door shut.

The moment Tao Ying closed the door, the sisters immediately went back inside, none of them daring to make a sound.

Wang Chunni returned to her room and carefully held Tao Chenyang in her arms, tears secretly streaming down her face.

The next morning, Tao Ying got up and found that Wang Chunni and Wang Chuntao had already prepared breakfast: millet porridge, pickled vegetables, and egg pancakes.

Wang Baomin was carrying water and chopping firewood, while Wang Baoshan was sweeping the yard.

"What's going on? Why are they all so well-behaved?" Tao Ying looked at the group with a smile.

Normally, Wang Chunni wouldn't be so willing to make egg pancakes, and Wang Baoshan isn't that diligent either.

"Mom, aren't you going to work today? Have something nice to eat," Wang Baoshan said, leaning closer to her.

"When don't I go to work?" Tao Ying rolled her eyes.

"Baomin, if you have time today, go to the countryside and pick up your grandpa and grandma. Anyway, the fields are all planted and there's nothing else to do. Chunni and Chuntao, if you have time, clean out a room in the back house for your grandpa and grandma to live in." Tao Ying said softly to the children after breakfast.

"Mom? Why would you call Grandma here? Don't you and Grandma have a bad relationship?" Wang Baoshan looked at Tao Ying with a blank expression.

"What are you saying? What do you mean I don't get along with your grandma? If I don't get along with your grandma, it's all your dad's fault. Now that your dad is gone, my relationship with your grandma will naturally be better." Tao Ying glared at Wang Baoshan. What a wretched child.

"Mom, what if I can't handle it?" Wang Baomin looked at Tao Ying with some trepidation.

Wang Baomin had witnessed his grandmother and mother arguing fiercely. He also knew that when his father was home, his mother would cry like Meng Jiangnu, but when his father wasn't home, she would dare to touch a kitchen knife.

Grandma is afraid of Mom and never comes to her own house. What's wrong with Mom? Why did she let Grandma come over?

“Then tell your grandma that someone is arranging a marriage for me, and that I can’t win the argument. Ask her to come and oversee things. If she doesn’t come, I’ll dig up your dad’s grave and take his ashes to her.” Tao Ying sighed.

"Understood." Wang Baomin was startled and immediately agreed, not daring to imagine the scene.

"Do you have any other opinions?" Tao Ying then looked at the others.

"No, no objection, I'll go clean up right now." Wang Chunni and Wang Chuntao were startled and quickly left the messy ground.

Seeing that the children were all very well-behaved, Tao Ying nodded in satisfaction, took Tao Chenyang's little hand, and put on a kind smile, "Yangyang, Grandma will take you to school."

"Okay." Tao Chenyang nodded in perfect agreement.

After the mother and daughter left, the sisters breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. "Third brother, what should we do?" Wang Chuntao looked at Wang Baoshan.

“Yes, what should we do if Grandma Baoshan cries to me?” Wang Baomin looked at Wang Baoshan for help.

"Now you know to come to me? How would I know? I only know that I should always listen to my mother." Wang Baoshan glared at the group, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and walked out the door with an air of arrogance.

"Sister, I'll pick you up from school tonight," Wang Baoshan said to Wang Chunni as he turned back halfway down the road.

"I understand." Wang Chunni nodded vigorously, asking if she knew Baomin would be able to come back today.

Wang Baomin looked at Wang Chunni in disbelief. Was this still the older sister who was usually the kindest to him?

"Sister, why are you with Baoshan? Aren't we best friends?" Wang Baomin looked at Wang Chunni sadly.

"Baomin, we're best friends, I'm going to get back to work," Wang Chunni said reassuringly, then left without looking back.

"..." Wang Baomin stiffly turned his head to look at Wang Chuntao beside him.

"Second brother, I'm going to work too." Wang Chuntao couldn't help but smile as she quickly left, afraid of laughing out loud if she walked too slowly.

Wang Baomin walked out of the house with his head hanging low, looking utterly hopeless.

When Tao Ying arrived at her workplace, all her colleagues came over.

Tao Ying works at a chemical plant that produces synthetic ammonia. The process involves using water gas, and the nitrogen dioxide produced is also used to make soft drinks.

The system operates on a four-shift, three-rotation basis, but Tao Ying does not participate in the shift work; her main responsibility is coal analysis.

"Sister Tao." A woman in her early thirties with a baby face came over, her eyes filled with worry.

"Xiao Tian, ​​I'm fine, don't worry about me," Tao Ying said cheerfully.

“Aunt Tao, you can rest for a while longer. You’ll be fine. You can manage.” A chubby girl of about eighteen or nineteen said.

Everyone in the lab knew that Tao Ying and her husband had a good relationship, and most people felt sorry for Tao Ying.

Especially the girl who just spoke, named Liu Jing, who has just graduated from high school, whose father is the section chief of an oil refinery.

The girl has a sweet tongue, but she's a bit lazy. Tao Ying treats her very well usually.

"I'll be retiring in a few months, then I'll have plenty of time to rest," Tao Ying said with a smile.

The next chapter will be posted later. Have a happy holiday!
