But no matter what, it was Old Wang who got the advantage.

He was already in his thirties and almost forty, and he already had two wives, but he still wanted to marry Qi Yu, a single girl, without even asking for a betrothal gift or dowry.

When you think about it this way, he is simply the winner in life in male-oriented novels.

Xiang Mianmian even thought that this person shouldn't be the protagonist of the story of thirty years in the east and thirty years in the west.

The age is just right, and thirty-something is a good time to be in Hedong.

Oh no, wouldn’t she become the vicious female supporting role?

Xiang Mianmian was worried. Don’t try to follow the male-oriented approach. He hasn’t had enough of the good days yet.

Qin Wanwan gossiped for a while, and finally warmed up his hands from making snowballs. A smile broke out on his face:

"They just got married yesterday. Anyway, there's nothing going on between them. I heard that the matchmaker has already gone to the Qi family to propose marriages for her younger brother and sister."

Xiang Mianmian said with admiration, "Matchmakers are quite dedicated. It's snowing heavily, so who has nothing better to do than go out and walk around? They're all staying home to stay awake for the winter."

Look at the two of them, hiding in front of the brazier, they feel that their life is difficult, while the matchmaker will go out regardless of wind or rain, for fear of being stabbed.

It is also difficult for workers to go out and help shovel snow in the factory. It is so sad to talk about it.

Qin Wanwan smiled and said, "Maybe the Qi family hasn't arranged a match for a few years, and there are many children waiting at home. The matchmaker might be able to match several couples at once, so of course they are very enthusiastic."

It’s said to be 6 yuan for a pair, and if there are three or five pairs, that’s almost a month’s salary. Who wouldn’t be jealous?

Matchmakers seek wealth and fame at the risk of their lives. As long as the match is successful, they can get the money as a thank-you. That means three or four men and women of marriageable age, which is a great achievement.

Xiang Mianmian was a little curious: "Isn't it said that Qi Yu has a special physique, and everyone is afraid that his brothers and sisters will be the same? Are they not afraid now?"

Aren’t you afraid of repeating Qi Yu’s mistakes?

"You know what a matchmaker can do. She can turn black into white and dead into alive. Besides, Qi Yu is married and Old Wang is alive and well, which proves that everything is fine."

Old Wang not only survived the month after his engagement, but he also had a successful marriage. The matchmaker made sure to publicize the event.

After hearing what the little girl said, Xiang Mianmian was reminded of the traditional skills of matchmakers: ten sentences are false and one is true, and this truth will make you want to find out more.

For example, before the meeting, the matchmaker said: With so many people going on blind dates, he fell in love with you at first sight.

After meeting: It turns out that this gentleman is a one-eyed man.

Before the meeting, the matchmaker said: He is 1.78 meters tall, has an annual income of 100,000 yuan, is an honest person and doesn't talk much.

After meeting: He is 1.7 meters tall, has an income of 100,000 in eight years, is old, and doesn't tell much truth.

If you believe the matchmaker, you lose.

Unless a gun is pointed at your head, all you hear is the top art of human language, not the truth.

A conscientious matchmaker will tell you the truth, highlighting your strengths and concealing your weaknesses. A conscienceless matchmaker will make up stories and make couples become enemies.

They were so excited about gossiping that they felt a little hungry as they talked.

That one sweet potato was completely useless, let alone being shared between two people.

Xiang Mianmian got up and searched the house, but didn't find any snacks. Finally, he found a handful of peanuts under the kitchen cabinet, and the two of them ate the peanuts together with a crunch.

The topic turned from the matchmaker to Qi Yu.

Xiang Mianmian analyzed, "I don't think anything will happen to Old Wang, but Qi Yu should be in trouble. Do you believe what Old Wang said, that one wife got drunk and fell into a well, and the other took drugs and jumped into the river?"

Qin Wanwan stuffed two peanuts into his mouth and said, "Forget it. Even a three-year-old wouldn't believe it. The bruises on his wife's face wouldn't be enough for him to buy wholesale from the infirmary's safflower oil."

And when passing by Old Wang's house, you would always hear women screaming and the sound of fists and feet hitting flesh.

Whether it's falling into a well or jumping into a river, it's all to make the body swollen so that the daughter-in-law's family can't recognize it, and to avoid the uncle coming to argue for compensation.

Xiang Mianmian peeled a few peanuts, poured a handful into his mouth, and said incoherently while chewing: "It's too tragic. Qi Yu is the lucky star of the Qi family after all."

To the Qi family's several fiancés, Qi Yu is a life-threatening ghost. To the Qi family, isn't it thanks to Qi Yu that they get benefits one after another?

It’s okay to say that she is the lucky star of the Qi family.

"Yeah, the Qi family gained so much when her fiancé died. They treated her like a treasure when she got a promotion and a raise, but now they're kicking her out."

What if we don’t look for Lao Wang?

Although Qi Yu had lost three of her fiancés and was avoided by everyone, if she chose carefully, there would always be men from poor families who did not want to go to the countryside who were willing to take the gamble.

It means that the conditions may not be that good and there will usually be major defects.

But Qi Yu's father was blind to rush to marry a domestic abuser.

The two of them lamented for a while about how miserable Qi Yu was, but these two families had nothing to do with them after all, so they changed the subject and talked about the New Year.

Qin Wanwan reminded, "This year during the Spring Festival, they said that everyone is not allowed to line up. The snow is too heavy and the square is open air. Last year, many people fell and caught colds. Now we have changed it to picking up things at school and picking them up on the first floor."

Her father was one of the employees responsible for distributing supplies, so he knew the news.

Xiang Mianmian, who never cared about these changes, listened carefully and hummed, "Okay, I'll tell Mom when the time comes."

Without melons, there is no fun.

The two best friends are like wild animals. When there are melons, they come out for a stroll. When there are no melons, they go back home.

Qin Wanwan went home contentedly with a bag of candy. She came here to confirm professional matters, and after confirming them, she would naturally go home.

But it’s not for my own profession, it’s for my brother Qin Renmin’s profession.

Old Man Qin is strict with his own daughter, but he will not look down on other people's daughters.

He felt that Xiang Mianmian must be quite capable since she had such high grades, so he asked his daughter to ask her best friend for advice on what major to choose.

After all, the top student in the class gave up the popular chemistry subject and chose the unpopular maintenance subject instead. Father Qin thought there must be something fishy about it, and maybe maintenance was a good career path.

That's why Qin Wanwan, her best friend, can come to Xiang's house to play. Otherwise, Qin's father would not let her be idle and would not stop her from doing odd jobs in winter.

Although there is no chance to paste matchboxes anymore, there are many ways to make money as long as you are willing to work hard, such as mending clothes, making shoes, and knitting sweaters.

Within two days, Xiang Mianmian discovered that Qin Renmin had also given up his chemistry major and switched to studying maintenance.

But Xiang Mianmian didn't care. She decided to go to the maintenance department because she knew how to do it. She wouldn't stop others from coming if they wanted to. People should always be responsible for their own choices.

Fortunately, Qin Wanwan listened to the advice and studied chemistry.

Xiang Mianmian breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want her best friend to take risks with her. The Xiang family had a backup plan, but the Qin family wouldn't back Qin Wanwan, so she could only play it safe.

Although the wages at the methane plant are basically fixed, it is good to live a stable life and there is no need to take risks.

Otherwise, if she can't find a job after graduating from junior college, Father Qin will not be soft-hearted towards his daughter. He will probably auction her off to the matchmaker on the spot, and the highest bidder will win.

It is also difficult to find a job even if you study unpopular majors in technical secondary schools. Passing the exam does not guarantee you a job.
