Just as Huang Jianguo, despite his disability, was taking the bowls and chopsticks out of the kitchen, Chen Zhaodi returned with Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wang.
Upon hearing their voices, Huang Eryuan rushed over and took Huang Jianguo's bowl and chopsticks.
Then he walked to the dining table without looking back.
Huang Jianguo didn't bother with his occasionally eccentric father and calmly sat back down.
When Huang Jianjun returned home, he was greeted by Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wang.
"Second brother, you're finally back! Come here, come here!"
As soon as Chen Zhaodi saw Huang Jianjun enter, she waved to him, signaling him to come over quickly.
Seeing Chen Zhaodi suddenly become so enthusiastic towards him, Huang Jianjun had a strange sense of foreboding.
"Hello, Aunt Zhang. Hello, Aunt Wang."
"Okay, okay! You're okay too."
Now that everyone was present, Chen Zhaodi got down to business: "Ahem, well, I've found a suitable woman for each of you two brothers."
"Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wang came here today to discuss the woman's conditions and requirements."
"If you think it's appropriate, you two brothers should each go and meet them, just to make more friends."
Huang Jianguo remained calm. Since he had already promised Chen Zhaodi that he would go to the matchmaking meeting, he was mentally prepared.
However, Huang Jianjun was clearly not prepared for this. He thought he must be so hungry that he was hallucinating.
Clinging to a last glimmer of hope, she spoke up: "Mom, are you sure you didn't misunderstand? You found two suitable women for my older brother, right? Hehe..."
"No, it's just you and the boss."
Chen Zhaodi's words completely shattered Huang Jianjun's last hope.
Huang Jianjun asked, unable to accept it, "Mom, didn't my older brother promise you he'd go to the matchmaker? Why do I have to go too?"
"You're already 22, when are you going to find someone?! Besides, we're just asking you to go on a date, not to get married right away!"
"No way, I'm only 20..."
Chen Zhaodi glared at him, wondering if there was something wrong with the feng shui of their home, because everyone seemed to be being tortured at the mere mention of marriage.
After being glared at by Chen Zhaodi, Huang Jianjun didn't dare to say anything more.
Anyway, when Chen Zhaodi calculates age, it's always +1, and then +1 again.
"Please excuse my poor appearance. I would also appreciate it if you could introduce me to your two daughters."
Chen Zhaodi had just asked Huang Eryuan to take the food into the kitchen first, and then she took out some biscuits and melon seeds.
Aunt Zhang took a sip of water to moisten her throat: "Let me first introduce Mu Shengnan. She is 22 years old and is the only child in her family."
"Her father was the workshop director of the daily chemical factory, and her mother was the logistics manager of the daily chemical factory. Her mother used to be a red capitalist. The daily chemical factory and most of the land in our city were donated by their family."
"Although they donated most of their wealth, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; their family is still very wealthy!"
"Mu Shengnan's parents said that they don't have many requirements for their son-in-law, only one thing: he must have good character and be good to their daughter."
"Mu Shengnan has a requirement: one of her children must take her surname, and she will definitely be responsible for taking care of her parents in their old age."
“She has the ability to do this herself and doesn’t need the man to pay for it, but she will only be willing to meet if he can accept these two conditions.”
"However, the girl's parents said that they will give Mu Shengnan a two-courtyard house as part of her dowry."
"Two daughters-in-law, what do you think, can you accept this?"
Huang Eryuan felt somewhat unwilling. If the child took the woman's surname, wouldn't that make him a live-in son-in-law?
Although the woman was indeed very well-off, she was older than both of his sons, which he felt was not a good match.
Chen Zhaodi thought it was a good idea. She was an only child and wanted a child to take her surname, so what?
Besides, it's just one child, and the family even provided a large courtyard as dowry. Let alone the child taking the mother's surname.
You could even let Huang Jianjun take her surname!
If it were Chen Zhaodi looking for a wife, she would have agreed immediately, but since this is for Huang Jianjun, she would have to ask for his opinion first.
"Second brother, what do you think? Can you accept it?"
After thinking for a moment, Chen Zhaodi added, "I chose this girl mainly because she has a straightforward personality and is very tactful in her actions, which I felt would be a good match for you."
Huang Jianjun originally thought this was an introduction for his older brother, but when he suddenly heard Chen Zhaodi ask him what he thought, he was completely stunned.
"Huh? Me? Is this... a bit too big?"
Huang Jianjun scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said that he didn't mind having a child with the woman's surname.
He didn't care about the large courtyard house that the woman brought as part of her dowry. The children were all born to her, so it's normal for them to take her surname.
As for that large courtyard, it was part of the bride's dowry, and frankly, it had little to do with him.
Seeing that he didn't seem particularly resistant, Aunt Zhang seized the opportunity and showed them a photograph.
"Not at all! A woman three years older than a man is like a golden brick! Jianjun, take a look at the photo and see if you like her."
Chen Zhaodi was surprised that Aunt Zhang was so capable, and even managed to get the photos from the woman.
However, this also proves that the woman's family is indeed well-off. For example, although there are group photos of their family, there are no individual photos.
When Huang Jianjun saw Mu Shengnan in the photo, he felt as if something had stabbed his heart, leaving it tingling and numb.
Unlike other girls, Mu Shengnan wore a military-style uniform, and the fitted trousers made her legs look even longer.
Her short hair made her look even more dashing, and at first glance, she even seemed somewhat androgynous.
But undeniably, she is very good-looking, or rather, very handsome.
Chen Zhaodi also wanted to see the photos, but she waited and waited, and Huang Jianjun never gave her the photos.
Then she stopped waiting and took the photo herself, but Huang Jianjun held onto it tightly.
Chen Zhaodi tugged twice, but couldn't pull it out. She didn't dare to use too much force, afraid of tearing the photo.
With a determined look in his eyes, he leaned close to Huang Jianjun's ear and yelled, "Second brother, let go, let me see the photo!"
Huang Jianjun then seemed to wake from a dream and reluctantly handed the photo to Chen Zhaodi.
After looking at the photo, Chen Zhaodi frowned and exclaimed, "Tsk!"
Huang Jianjun's heart sank when he heard Chen Zhaodi's voice.
Does she not like Mu Shengnan's appearance? Surely not, isn't she quite pretty?
Huang Jianjun felt a little flustered and was about to say something when he heard Chen Zhaodi mutter, "Tsk! What a waste to be with my second son!"
