"But the truth is, I can't see it at all. I need to see it with my own eyes to believe what you're saying is true. If I can't see anything, all your flowery descriptions seem like lies to me," Shen Man said angrily.
“I’m not lying to you. That jade pendant was still in our house last night. My eldest son had it, but my second son probably took it away later.”
"No matter what you say, if I don't see the jade pendant, let's not talk anymore."
Shen Man was afraid that this family was deliberately fooling her. She still needed to rely on the pretense of arranged marriage to continue searching for a space vessel. If she was easily fooled by this family and agreed to their marriage, she would no longer be able to continue searching for a space vessel in this way.
Hmph, do you think she's an idiot? You think you can fool her with just a few words? No way.
Mother Hu stopped Shen Man: "Shen Zhiqing, I swear, our family really has a family heirloom. Look, we don't know where our second son is now. When he comes back, we'll get the heirloom back."
"Then wait until you get the family heirloom back before you tell me about my marriage to Comrade Hu Qingquan."
Mother Hu seemed unable to think of any other ideas, but fortunately there was still hope with Shen Man.
“Shen Zhiqing, we will definitely get the family heirloom back as soon as possible. Can you wait for Qingquan? Don’t look at other people’s houses before we get the jade pendant back.”
Shen Man chuckled: "It's not like I'm only marrying into your family. As long as I don't get married, I have the right to go on blind dates with anyone. Auntie, you should think of a way to get your family heirloom back as soon as possible."
"I know, I know."
Shen Man walked back fifty meters from the Hu family's house before meeting up with Aunt Jiang who had come to visit.
Aunt Jiang waved her hand: "Shen Zhiqing, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I walk too slowly. Come on, let's continue to the Hu family and go see Haiquan."
"Auntie, I've already seen it."
"Have you already met?"
Aunt Jiang's mouth dropped open. Good heavens, the matchmaker hasn't even arrived yet, and you've already finished looking at each other.
"So, what was the result?"
“Auntie, I won’t lie to you. Their family heirloom is lost. I’ll wait until they find it before I talk about my marriage with Comrade Hu Haiquan.”
"You really want to marry a family heirloom?"
Shen Man coughed: "Auntie, wouldn't it be better to have an excellent additional condition?"
"Yes, yes, since you've already made arrangements with them, let's wait until they find the family heirloom before making an appraisal."
As the matchmaker turned around, she suddenly noticed a problem.
Now that Shen Man doesn't need me as a matchmaker, she can handle the blind date arrangements with the man's family on her own. Will she no longer need me in the future?
If every girl were like Shen Man, finding a husband for herself without a matchmaker, wouldn't she lose her job?
For the first time, Jiang, the matchmaker, felt a sense of professional crisis.
"Shen Zhiqing, don't worry, I will continue to find you good family heirlooms, cough cough, I mean good young male comrades."
"Thank you, Aunt Jiang. Then I'll continue to trouble you with your help."
"It's nothing, it's all what I should do."
County town black market
One-Eyed Dragon was a collector of antiques and old objects for He Zhenguo. If that guy didn't come to redeem the jade pendant in fifteen days, it would belong to their boss.
Since Lin Zhiheng wouldn't be coming to work at the black market tomorrow, the foreman immediately recruited two workers.
Therefore, the other workers also learned that Lin Zhiheng was about to quit.
Lin Hu was finally happy. He thought He Zhenguo valued Lin Zhiheng highly and would give Lin Zhiheng benefits. He didn't expect that He Zhenguo would still drive Lin Zhiheng away.
Lin Zhiheng, now that you've left the black market, let's see how you manage to seduce the young lady.
However, before he could finish being happy, he saw He Lanlan coming to find Lin Zhiheng again, and he immediately felt a lump in his throat.
He clenched his fist tightly.
Zhang Peng deliberately provoked him: "See? See? They've come looking for Lin Zhiheng again, but they can't see you."
Lin Hu's anger was once again aroused, as was his ambition to possess He Lanlan.
One day, Helan Lan will be his.
This black market will also be his.
He Lanlan walked up to Lin Zhiheng and handed him two chocolates: "Lin Zhiheng, these are for you."
Lin Zhiheng didn't know what it was.
"What?"
"It's food, it won't poison you anyway."
"I won't eat it."
He continued to work diligently.
He Lanlan simply peeled off the chocolate wrapper and held it to his lips: "You're not taking it because you want me to feed you, right?"
Lin Zhiheng's ears suddenly felt hot, and he looked around at the people around him.
"With so many people watching, you should put it away quickly."
"You ate it if there was no one else around?"
"I won't eat it!"
Lin Zhiheng's tone was somewhat cold, and he turned his head to the side, which made He Lanlan a little angry.
"You still won't give me any face at all. Humph, Lin Zhiheng, your brain is just a block of wood. You'll never get it right in your entire life."
Lin Zhiheng, knowing he was about to leave, was afraid He Lanlan would come looking for him in the village again, so he said, "I'm going back to the village to farm tomorrow, so please don't come looking for me."
"I."
He Lanlan almost choked on his words.
She was already angry when Lin Zhiheng rejected her, and now he's saying something like that to her.
From the moment he bought her a gift yesterday and offered to treat her to a meal, to the moment he ate multigrain pancakes with her.
She thought their relationship had improved a lot and that he was willing to spend time with her, but she didn't expect that after only one day, he would revert to his cold and aloof self.
