"Stop saying all that, I'm just asking you whether you admit you concealed the man's situation!"
Chen Zhaodi released Huang Qinqin, pulled Wu Damei up, and asked.
Wu Damei didn't want to get up, but she was no match for Chen Zhaodi, who worked in the workshop all day. Chen Zhaodi forcibly pulled her up, and she said reluctantly, "I did hide it, but..."
"Alright, since you admit to concealing it, that's fine. If you think it's unreasonable for me to ask you to return the money, then go to the Women's Federation and let them decide. I believe you and the man are in cahoots, and you're committing marriage fraud by deceiving women like this!"
Upon hearing her admit it, Chen Zhaodi didn't give her a chance to say a second word and quickly interrupted her.
When Wu Damei saw Chen Zhaodi say she was going to the Women's Federation, she didn't dare to say anything more. She wasn't sure if she would get a refund if the matter really escalated to the Women's Federation.
However, it was certain that this would definitely affect her ability to introduce other potential partners in the future, so he reluctantly agreed to refund her the money.
After receiving the money, Chen Zhaodi left with Huang Qinqin, leaving a group of people living nearby who had come to watch the spectacle talking amongst themselves.
Wu Damei probably never imagined that even if she didn't go to the Women's Federation, after today's incident, the people living nearby would probably stop asking her to introduce them to potential partners. After all, nobody wants to marry off their daughter or take in a wife without a clear understanding of the situation.
Chen Zhaodi took the one yuan that Wu Damei had returned and said to Huang Qinqin, "Girl, let's go see if there's any meat left. Let's eat something good today. Your two brothers can't use this matchmaker in the future. He's not honest at all!"
Huang Qinqin took Chen Zhaodi's arm and said softly, "Mom, maybe my eldest brother and second brother won't need to go through matchmaking and will find their own partners. After all, we have four workers in our family now."
“Sigh, your two older brothers aren’t in a hurry, but you are. These days, people are being sent to the countryside everywhere, and it’s getting harder and harder to find a job.”
"It's alright, it's alright. There are still more than two months left. We can always find a job or a partner. Let's hurry up and buy some meat, or it will definitely be sold out."
......
"Hello, I want this piece of meat." Two voices rang out at the same time.
Butcher Zhu looked at the two of them who were speaking at the same time and said, "There's only one piece of meat left. Do you want to split it in half, or do you want it all?"
Xu Junhui noticed a hint of joy flash in Huang Qinqin's eyes and couldn't help but ask, "Hello, do you remember me? We met at the food factory."
Huang Qinqin thought for a moment and finally remembered. This was that silly guy from that day, but he didn't seem silly now. "I remember. What a coincidence! You're here to buy meat too. How about we split this piece in half?"
"Of course! I didn't have a chance to introduce myself last time. My name is Xu Junhui, and this is?"
"Thank you. My name is Huang Qinqin, and this is my mother."
Xu Junhui greeted Chen Zhaodi with a smile.
Chen Zhaodi subtly sized him up, then asked with a smile, "Hello, how old are you? Do you work in a food factory? Do you have a boyfriend?"
Hearing Chen Zhaodi ask him this, Xu Junhui was overjoyed, because this proved that Huang Qinqin should not have a boyfriend yet. He calmly replied, "Auntie, I am twenty-one years old this year and I work as a purchasing agent in the canteen of a food factory. I don't have a boyfriend yet."
The more Chen Zhaodi listened, the more satisfied she became. He was good-looking and tall, of similar age, had a job, and was single. Wasn't he a perfect match?
And it wasn't that she was narcissistic; just from the way this young man looked at her Qinqin, she was certain he had a thing for her.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked these questions to just anyone she saw on the street.
Huang Qinqin felt a little flustered when she heard her mother ask Xu Junhui a question. Was her mother so desperate that she would arrange a marriage with any random person she met on the street?
So he shook Chen Zhaodi's arm and said, "Mom, we need to hurry home, or we won't have time to cook lunch."
"Comrade Xu, we're leaving now, goodbye." After saying that, he pulled Chen Zhaodi and started to leave.
Chen Zhaodi, who originally wanted to ask a few more questions, had to give up when she saw her daughter was about to leave. However, she still said to Xu Junhui, "Comrade Xu, I'll come to the food factory to chat with you another day when I have time."
Xu Junhui, who had thought it was hopeless, was surprised to find that things had taken a turn for the better and happily replied, "Okay, Auntie, just tell the security guard at the food factory that you're looking for me."
......
"Mom, why do you ask other people these questions so casually? It makes it sound like I'm desperate to get married," Huang Qinqin asked awkwardly.
Chen Zhaodi gently tapped Huang Qinqin's forehead: "Silly girl, didn't you see the way he looked at you was different? I asked because I thought he had feelings for you."
"Do...do I?" Huang Qinqin really didn't feel anything.
Just as I was about to say something more, I suddenly saw Xu Jingui and Chen Ermei at the entrance of the family compound.
"Yes, that girl from the Huang family has been incredibly lazy since she was a child. We've never seen her do any work."
"I heard that her daughter can't even sew a thread, let alone make clothes."
“In her family, even the dishes are washed by two men. Huang Qinqin is like a pampered young lady from the past, she doesn’t have to do anything.”
Xu Jingui's face grew darker and darker as he listened, and he asked through gritted teeth, "So you're saying Huang Qinqin has absolutely no redeeming qualities? I've never heard of a girl being so lazy."
"No, that's not true. That girl's grades are still very good. If she could take the college entrance exam now, maybe the Huang family would have produced a college student!"
“What’s the use of studying? She’s going to be sent to the countryside anyway. If you ask me, she’ll be a money-losing daughter who’ll be married off sooner or later. We shouldn’t have let her study.”
As soon as Xu Jingui arrived, he said he wanted to know more about Huang Qinqin. The gossiping aunties sitting at the entrance of the family compound started talking all at once without him even having to ask.
It turns out Chen Ermei really wasn't lying. He'd even mentally defended her when he heard her words, thinking she couldn't possibly be that bad. Luckily, the matchmaking didn't go through; otherwise, he'd be the laughingstock of everyone if he married a lazy woman!
Xu Jingui, who was about to leave, suddenly remembered something and asked, "What about Chen Ermei?"
"Oh my, Chen Ermei is known for being very hardworking in our residential compound."
"Yes, she was sensible from a young age and knew how to help with chores at home."
"He keeps the house spotless inside and out, and he raised her younger brother from a young age."
"If you ask me, you should find a wife who is hardworking. Otherwise, who will do the housework in the future? You can't expect the men in the family to do it."
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Xu Jingui's eyes. Although Chen Ermei was not very good-looking, if she was really that hardworking, she should be able to take good care of his two sons after he married her.
Xu Jingui plans to go home now and discuss it with his parents; in any case, Huang Qinqin is definitely out of the question...
