Chang Meihua was in an unprecedentedly disheveled state, with snot and tears streaming down her face, loudly recounting Chen Lijuan's bizarre behavior.
"She went to the man's house, and right after the introductions, she agreed to marry him! Nobody even asked her! What nonsense was she spouting! And now the man's family is complaining about me so much!"
Chang Meihua pinched her nose, wiped her snot, and continued.
"Even if the man's family made it clear that they didn't like her, they would at most have one meal and send her away. She agreed readily, but then she went to the neighbors to promote herself. My God! Doesn't she have any shame? A young woman like her is eager to find someone to marry today!"
The elderly Chang couple were speechless. Chen Zhaodi lowered her head and kicked the non-existent pebble.
Zhou Hongyu's lips curled up slightly; she had to see this extremely eccentric niece from Chen Zhaodi's maternal family.
Chang Meiying chuckled: "Second Aunt, you love matchmaking so much, if you succeed, you'll make a name for yourself!"
What a terrible signboard!
Chang Meihua stomped her feet angrily: "Mom and Dad, I'm going to be killed by that Chen guy! Our boss had such a dark face on the spot, it was terrifying! I'll lose my job!"
Old Man Chang responded and directed Chen Zhaodi: "Hongbing's wife, hurry up and go with Meihua to bring him back!"
"Me?"
Chen Zhaodi pointed to herself, then looked at Zhou Hongyu: "Chen Lijuan and I only exchange a few words during the New Year, and I can't persuade her otherwise, unless we all go together!"
Zhou Hongyu had to go, otherwise she would feel uneasy.
Old Man Chang waved his hand and said, "Go, all of you!"
He couldn't control Zhou Hongyu, but after thinking it over, Zhou Hongyu decided to go and watch the excitement.
After a long day of busy accounting at the store, it's nice to have something fun to watch after work. Why not?
On the way, Chang Meiying chattered on about the heroic deeds of the extraordinary Chen Lijuan, while Zhou Hongyu laughed non-stop, thinking of her two aunts who had been tormented by Chen Lijuan.
Chen Lijuan's cleverness is beyond imagination!
She became increasingly eager to see the original owner of the body.
Upon arriving at the Grain Bureau's residential compound, they could hear bursts of laughter from afar. Without a doubt, they knew Chen Lijuan was there. Chang Meihua pulled Chen Zhaodi along and walked quickly towards her.
"Chen Lijuan, I've brought your entire Chen family here! Let's see if you still have the nerve to face them!"
Chang Meihua shouted, but it made no difference. The crowd was too lively, just like a vegetable market, and bursts of laughter erupted from time to time, completely drowning out her voice.
The few people on the outermost edge of the crowd turned around when they heard the sound.
Chen Zhaodi immediately wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. From this day forward, she never wanted to have anything to do with Chen Lijuan again in her life!
We're breaking off all contact!
Leader Chang Meihua was so amused by Chen Lijuan's bizarre behavior that her face froze with laughter. When she saw Chang Meihua, she walked closer, chuckled, and patted her on the shoulder.
"What are you doing? Lijuan is on a blind date!"
Chen Lijuan has already extended her clutches to all the unmarried men in the family compound.
Haha, it would be fun if the whole residential compound made a fool of themselves together; we can't just let their family be the butt of gossips in the neighborhood.
The elderly couple from the Chang family looked at Chang Meihua with strange expressions.
She said at home that her boss was furious, but now he seems very happy!
After Chang Lanhua's previous antics, the elderly couple's trust in their two daughters began to waver, and they couldn't help but ask themselves, "Did I not raise my two daughters well?"
Chang Meihua was somewhat confused by the situation, which was completely different from what she had been in before she left.
"Sister, what's going on here...?"
"Lijuan is on a blind date! We're all waiting to see the results!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Hongyu, eager to see the gossip, grabbed Chang Meiying's hand and squeezed through the crowd, finally reaching the center with great effort.
Several men of different appearances sat on stools, waiting for Chen Lijuan to choose them as if she were selecting concubines.
Zhou Hongyu opened her mouth wide: Amazing!
Chang Meiying clapped happily: "Sister Lijuan, find someone good-looking. Ugly fathers will give birth to ugly babies!"
Chen Lijuan, who had originally chosen someone, paused, then changed her mind and chose a man who was six years older than her but had the most handsome appearance among the candidates.
"You're the one!"
The man's relatives in the family compound were stunned, and kept slapping their thighs.
"How could you choose him? He has a heavy family burden, he's from a rural area, and if you marry him, you'll have to farm. Grandma, open your eyes and choose someone with better conditions!"
The relatives of the unsuccessful candidate were shocked to hear this.
"Don't talk nonsense. It's better to destroy ten temples than to break up one marriage. If you drive this one away, you can expect Qiangzi's parents to come after you for a daughter-in-law!"
After saying that, he turned his head.
She angrily scolded the unsuccessful candidates to go home and find their own mothers, saying it was best not to stay here, for fear that Chen Lijuan might want to replace them!
Zhou Hongyu watched the whole show with great interest; it was very interesting!
Over here, Chang Meihua's superiors are talking about what happened after Chang Meihua went back to find outside help.
"...She's as dark as charcoal, no young man in our compound who's looking for a partner would be interested in her. Well, it just so happens that a relative's child who can't find a partner came to visit, so we thought about it and decided to set her up here. The main thing is that she herself is really willing!"
Chen Zhaodi kept backing away, fantasizing that she could become invisible. She didn't want to admit that she and Chen Lijuan were related!
She also has an unmarried daughter and an unmarried son in her family!
Good heavens! Chen Lijuan's stunt at the Grain Bureau's residential compound is going to be the subject of countless gossips and make fun of her. It might even affect her children's chances of finding a partner!
Finding a partner is hard enough, but this makes it even harder!
That's ridiculous! She should have just told Chen Lijuan to go back home because she ate too much, and then all this trouble wouldn't have happened.
Old Man Chang snorted, "This child is too eager to get married!"
Granny Chang nodded, but then, thinking about the family situation of Chen Lijuan that she had learned from Chen Zhaodi, she felt that this was reasonable.
Granny Chang had experienced the bitterness of being favored when she was young, and she understood the feelings of those who were not valued at home.
Leave the suffocating home early—
After watching the excitement, the crowd slowly dispersed, and Chang Meiying jogged over to Chen Lijuan.
She asked innocently, "Sister, are you going to marry this uncle?"
Twenty-six-year-old Shen Daqiang, with a full beard, was called "uncle" by a seemingly cute little girl, which deeply hurt his tender heart.
"Call me brother, and I'll buy you candy!"
Chang Meiying snorted. The teacher in the preschool class said that we can't lie. He is an uncle, and he doesn't have a brother at all!
Seeing that there were fewer people around, Chen Zhaodi covered her face and ran over anxiously: "Lijuan, will your parents agree to this? Are you kidding me!"
Since ancient times, marriage and funerals have always been arranged by parents and matchmakers, so how could a young girl make her own decisions!
Chen Zhaodi was even more worried that her daughter Huaying would follow the same bad example and rashly marry herself off, leaving her with nowhere to turn to cry.
P.S. Zhou Hongyu: (Thumbs up) Your daughter did just that!
Shen Daqiang was even more anxious than Chen Zhaodi. He was about to say something to salvage the situation when Chen Lijuan pushed his face away and shooed him to the side.
