The woman was puzzled: her brother was arranging a marriage, but she was being asked to make the decision?

The brother and sister didn't share the same surname... The woman couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.

Zuo Ling admitted that her brother was single, and the woman put her suspicions to rest.

The woman patted her daughter and said directly:

“What do you think of my daughter? My husband is in the military, a leader of some rank. I used to be in school, but the school closed down, so I got a job in the neighborhood. My daughter works at the service center. In the old days, the whole family was in the system, and we all earned contribution points. Our family was neither rich nor poor. Besides, my daughter has never been in a relationship, so her background is guaranteed to be clean.”

The girl blushed even more, but she boldly looked at Zuo Ling again, her eyes filled with hope and trepidation.

When her mother first told her about it, she had reservations.

Her whole family has formal jobs. They are better off than most people at the base, if not superior. How could she face anyone if she married a small vendor who has no job?

This delay led to the exposure of Pei Nansheng displaying a banner at a flea market offering 30 kilograms of compressed biscuits in exchange for one kilogram of snake venom.

Good heavens! Who is so rich that they would trade 30 kilograms of compressed biscuits for snake venom that is not fit for food or drink!

The entire base was in an uproar, and the news naturally reached her ears.

Mom angrily scolded Dad for her:

"Look, look, that family is very wealthy, and your daughter still looks down on them. Now look what's happened, there are plenty of other men eyeing them, your daughter has no chance."

She was angry that her mother was materialistic and snobbish, but she couldn't suppress her curiosity and wanted to know what kind of person would exchange 30 kilograms of compressed biscuits for 1 kilogram of snake venom.

I took some time to go to the flea market, and guess what? I fell in love with her at first sight. As soon as I got home, I begged my mom to arrange a marriage for me.

Mom tapped her forehead and said angrily:

"Now you know to beg me? Where were you before? They've already made a name for themselves. Do you think it was when they first came back?"

They complain about people not having jobs? Jobs are nothing these days. Do you think this is the end of the world? Everyone's trying to get into the system. These days, whoever has the most resources has the most power.

Besides, his sister works on a plantation, and his brother is a bodyguard for a high-ranking official. If they want to find a job, it's just a matter of talking to the official. What's wrong with their family? How could I have given birth to such a brainless child like you...

Her mother angrily spat in her face.

Just as she was about to propose marriage, Pei Nansheng went on a long trip. After two agonizing months, she finally got him back, and she didn't want to wait even a day longer.

Zuo Ling's smile deepened: "I think it's great."

The woman was overjoyed and clasped her hands together:

"Then it's settled. My daughter is 28. Oh, I forgot to ask, how old is your brother this year?"

39.

“He’s 11 years older than my daughter. It’s good that he’s older; he’ll know how to care for people. If you think it’s suitable, let’s pick a date and get the wedding done as soon as possible.”

The girl was extremely embarrassed. She wanted to tell her mother that there was no need to rush, but she was also afraid that the arranged marriage would fall through, so she was very hesitant.

Zuo Ling found it amusing. Judging from the woman's attire, she seemed well-educated, yet she handled things so carelessly.

"It doesn't count if I think it's good; it only counts if my brother thinks it's good."

“Hey, if you think it’s good, then the marriage is half done. Since ancient times, it’s been difficult for sisters-in-law to get along. My daughter has a good personality and I’m sure she can get along with you.”

The woman became more and more affectionate as she spoke.

"What marriage is only halfway done? Who wants to get married?"

Pei Nansheng rode his tricycle back from outside and was stunned when he saw the mother and daughter.
