Chapter 85: Pheasant Wants to Be a Phoenix
This auntie looked familiar. Ye Qing seemed to have seen her in Kaoshantun this morning. She was taken to Wu's house by Qin Xingzhi. No one knew what she was doing.
Seeing Ye Qing looking towards her, the auntie's eyes could not help but fall on Ye Qing. Perhaps she recognized Ye Qing, and she immediately smiled and greeted Ye Qing:
"Girl, you are from Kaoshan Village, right? Why are you here?"
Ye Qing nodded: "Yes, I came to the farm to do something, may I ask who you are——"
The lady immediately introduced herself with a smile:
"My last name is Ma, and I'm the women's director of the Qingshan Farm Aid Cadre Family Area. You can just call me Sister Ma."
Upon hearing that this person was the women's director of the farm, Ye Qing's heart couldn't help but move.
When it comes to promoting women's health knowledge, it is definitely not enough to just write a few popular science articles.
After all, the number of newspapers published is limited, and the coverage is ultimately limited. Even if Meng Jia's articles are written vividly and fascinatingly, at least 70 to 80 percent of women in the country may not even be able to access newspapers, let alone read and learn from those articles.
Therefore, the best way is to cooperate with large organizations such as the Women's Federation to carry out the promotion of this health issue down to the grassroots level of each commune, and have the women's director of each production brigade organize female members to hold promotional lectures. In this way, the effect is likely to be much better.
However, Ye Qing didn't really know anyone in the Women's Federation, and she didn't know much about the organization. She wasn't sure whether her immature idea could be implemented, so she put the matter aside and didn't think about it anymore.
However, the appearance of this Sister Ma gave Ye Qing some ideas.
Qingshan Farm not only had many soldiers from the Corps who came to help build the farm, but also many volunteers from all over the country and the families of the farm’s cadres. There were seven or eight hundred households living in the cadre family area alone.
This was when Ye Qing had just sent Song Chunhua to register at the cadres' children's primary school. The old principal told him that the primary school where Song Chunhua had just started basically enrolled children from the cadres' family districts.
There are seven or eight hundred households, and each family has at least one female comrade. That is to say, in the cadre family area alone, there may be thousands of women who need to learn about women's health.
If we can use Sister Ma to first promote this topic in the family area of farm cadres, and then expand it from point to surface after achieving certain results, this may be a good way of publicity.
Ye Qing has been working in Kaoshantun for about a month and has gained some understanding of the living habits of the people here.
Anyway, everyone is a social expert. No matter you know each other or not, as long as you meet someone on the street, you can chat with anyone.
After mastering this rule, he no longer found it strange when the lady Ma in front of him took the initiative to talk to him. Ye Qing even accurately judged what topics the lady Ma was interested in and quickly became close to her.
After chatting for a few minutes and getting on well with this Sister Ma, Ye Qing was ready to get down to business, bringing up Meng Jia's topic of women's health and turning it into Sister Ma's job as the women's director.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Sister Ma suddenly changed the subject and asked Ye Qing:
"Xiaoye, do you have a partner?"
The topic changed so quickly that Ye Qing almost choked on his saliva. He quickly waved his hands in embarrassment:
"Sister Ma, I'm only sixteen. It's not time for me to find a partner yet."
When she heard that Ye Qing was only sixteen years old, the elder sister was a little disappointed and regretful, and explained:
"We have quite a few unmarried gay men on our farm who are in good condition. I was thinking if you were single, I would introduce you to one. I didn't expect you are still so young. I'd better wait two years."
Ye Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, for she was afraid that this elder sister would be too enthusiastic and insist on introducing someone to her. If that happened, she would have to turn around and leave, and wouldn't be able to continue the conversation at all.
But she suddenly remembered that this elder sister was taken to Kaoshan Village by Qin Xingzhi in the morning, and couldn't help asking:
"Sister Ma, you went to our village this morning. You were there to introduce someone to someone, weren't you?"
When this was mentioned, Sister Ma's face immediately fell:
"That's not true. I have a nephew from my mother's side who is currently helping with farm construction. He's in his early twenties and still hasn't found a partner. I'm worried about him, so I want to help him find someone."
"I just happened to hear someone introduce me to a girl who is about 18 or 19 years old in the family of Captain Wu in your village. She is just the right age, so I went to take a look at her for my nephew."
"Who knew that the girl was so ambitious? When she heard that my nephew was only a company commander, she immediately turned hostile. She first scolded my nephew for bragging about a company commander, and then said that if she was going to find a job, she should at least find a regimental commander, and would not even consider positions below battalion commander. She really humiliated me."
Speaking of this, Sister Ma was very angry.
She had been the women's director in the military family area for so many years. Everyone who saw her had to call her Director Ma respectfully. Even Director Zhao was polite to her. She never expected that after a trip to Kaoshantun, she would be humiliated by a young girl. How could Sister Ma swallow this?
She couldn't help but sneer.
"You still want to marry the captain? This is like a pheasant wanting to become a phoenix. You've been dreaming too much, right? Not to mention in our farm, even if you look at the entire army, you can't find many captains who are not married!"
"Those who have reached this level are all in their 30s or 40s with a bunch of children. If there are any singles, their wives must have died before. Do they think they can enjoy a peaceful life as an official's wife after getting married?"
"You are just wishful thinking. The leader is not stupid. If he is willing to marry a village girl, he must have requirements. She must be a stepmother and take care of the whole family without regrets. Otherwise, where can you find such a good thing?"
Ye Qing's mouth twitched after hearing this and he felt speechless.
Of course she understood why Wu Yueying required that the target must be the group leader right from the start. It was obvious that she used Gu Weidong as a reference standard.
The ex-boyfriend that Fei Jinbala dumped has already become a battalion commander. If she finds someone who is not even as good as a battalion commander, wouldn't Qing be waiting to be laughed at?
Therefore, Wu Yueying put all her efforts into choosing a better one for herself. She decided to find one with a higher position than Gu Weidong, at least a deputy head of the regiment. Then she could surpass Gu Weidong and make him salute, bow his head and call him "chief" obediently whenever he saw her.
With this idea in mind, it would be strange for Wu Yueying to look down upon the nephew introduced by Sister Ma. Wouldn't she have to speak rudely to Sister Ma and get angry on the spot?
However, Ye Qing felt that Wu Yueying was extremely stupid.
Even if this Sister Ma was not the women's director of the military farm, but was just an ordinary matchmaker, she would not be so easy to offend.
You have to know that these days people in rural areas are still relatively conservative when it comes to relationships between men and women. When young people are looking for a partner, they mostly rely on matchmakers to help introduce them to each other.
Wu Yueying was so unkind to the matchmaker, how could the matchmaker still be kind and say good things about her? It would not be enough if her wonderful morals and words were not made known to everyone in the whole village!
If Wu Yueying didn't want to get married, it would be fine for her to deliberately discredit him so that her family would give up the idea of introducing her to a partner. But the problem is that she wanted to get married, and she wanted to choose a good man in a high position.
In this situation, even if the person introduced by the matchmaker does not suit one's taste, a normal person would at most politely refuse the offer and should still have at least some respect for the matchmaker.
She started fighting at the slightest disagreement, and exposed her nature of despising poverty and loving wealth and vanity so blatantly in front of the matchmaker. Wasn't she just asking for trouble?
Ye Qing just couldn't understand Wu Yueying's move.
But she estimated that after this incident, it would be difficult for Wu Yueying to find a suitable partner in the next one or two years.
After all, it was obvious that this Ma sister was not someone to be trifled with. How could she not make a note of such a big mistake? A woman who could be the head of a women's department in a military farm had more connections than a matchmaker. It wouldn't be long before Wu Yueying would be famous in the area around Qingshan Town.
However, Ye Qing felt that it was a good thing that Wu Yueying did not like Ma Dajie's nephew.
Not to mention the miscarriage of Wu Yueying, just the selfish and trouble-making nature of this girl, no matter which family she marries into, it will probably cause chaos and no peace.
If these two people get together, then Sister Ma will really bring disaster to her nephew from her mother's side. By then, the two of them will live in chaos, and her mother's side will probably hate Sister Ma to death.
Of course, this was just what Ye Qing thought in her heart. She did not show it at all on the surface. Even when Sister Ma asked her secretly about Wu Yueying's situation, she did not say a single bad word about her and only talked about her good points.
For example, not only is she beautiful and well-groomed, she is also the daughter of the captain of the production team. Moreover, Wu Yongbing's family is easy to get along with, and they are not the kind of greedy, cheap, and narrow-minded people.
Anyway, no matter what we say, we won’t mention Wu Yueying’s personality. Sister Ma is not a fool, so how could she not understand what it means?
Originally, Sister Ma thought that Wu Yueying might be unhappy with the matchmaker coming to her house and was deliberately angry with her family, which led to the incident. She also thought that if her nephew was really interested in this girl, she would endure the humiliation today and find some time to find someone to inquire about it in detail.
But after seeing Ye Qing's silent smile, Sister Ma immediately gave up the idea.
It is true that Wu Yueying has a pretty face, but beauty cannot make a living. Life is about the daily necessities of life, not playing house. If the girl has problems with her character and morals, then no matter how outstanding she is, she cannot introduce her to her nephews or nieces. Otherwise, if any conflicts arise in the future, she, as a matchmaker, will probably not be able to get along with herself in her parents' home.
The two of them did not dwell too much on Wu Yueying's topic and turned to talk about other topics.
But since they were talking about Kaoshantun, Ye Qing would definitely mention the health station that would soon be opened in Kaoshantun, and she, who would soon take office as the director of the health station.
Sister Ma had just started chatting with Ye Qing, with the purpose of asking about Wu Yueying. When Ye Qing mentioned the health station, she suddenly remembered something, slapped her thigh, looked at Ye Qing in surprise and said:
"I remember now. Are you the heroine who appeared in the Jicheng Daily a while ago? Oh, at that time, I used your article to give lectures in my hometown. I remember your photo was printed on it. I didn't remember it just now, but now I see that you look more and more like her!"
During this period of time, Ye Qing met many people. Basically, whenever they met for the first time, those people would bring up the incident in the newspaper. So Ye Qing went from being embarrassed and socially dead in the beginning to being numb and even accustomed to it.
So now when Sister Ma mentioned it, she admitted it with a smile, and then talked about the changes that had taken place in her life in Kaoshantun after her report was published.
"Thanks to this report and the recognition of my superiors, I have been appointed as the director of the Kaoshantun Health Station. From now on, if the villagers around here need medical treatment, they don't have to travel all the way to the county."
"Basic medical care in rural areas is not perfect enough, and the lower-income people do not have stable jobs and welfare benefits. It is very difficult to see a doctor and take medicine, especially women, who are the hardest hit in this regard."
As she spoke, Ye Qing described in detail several things that had happened to her during this period.
For example, Wang Chunhua's confinement at her home, Xu Xianzhen and Sister Qin from the grain station's menopause, and Song Hongying's infertility for more than ten years, which turned out to be due to musk deer poisoning, etc.
As soon as these typical cases came out, Sister Ma really changed her previous nonchalant attitude when gossiping and chatting, and stood up straight with a serious and solemn look on her face.
"You are used to working with women. You must know the current situation of rural women better than I do. The three examples I just mentioned are just a microcosm of thousands of rural women."
"In daily life, most rural lesbians do not know how to protect themselves, and their knowledge of hygienic conditions is almost zero. They also lack the correct understanding of gynecological diseases. Most people think that it is something shameful and even if they do have the disease, most of them choose to hide it and endure it alone."
"If we want to improve the current status of basic medical care in rural areas, I think the popularization of women's health is the top priority. It is a major issue that needs to be addressed first and urgently. The health survey and promotion of women should not be ignored."
Sister Ma came to Qingshan Farm in the early days of the establishment of the aid-construction corps and took on the work of women in the family area. However, she has been working in this position for more than ten years. This is the first time she has heard the concept of "women's health", which made her feel fresh and heavy-hearted.
Because she had no awareness of this before, or indeed had never taken this kind of work seriously, but when Ye Qing talked about those cases, she knew that what Ye Qing had just said was right.
She didn't know what the situation was like for women in the city, but in the countryside, even on military farms, the vast majority of women had suffered from gynecological diseases to varying degrees, because she was one of them.
Therefore, she immediately empathized with the concept of the topic proposed by Ye Qing. At the same time, she really wanted to know what the incidence rate of the gynecological diseases mentioned by Ye Qing was, and how much it could be reduced through proper hygiene care.
"Comrade Ye, what exactly is gynecological disease? Is it very likely that lesbians will get this disease? If you want to treat it, will it be very troublesome?"
Ye Qing hurriedly explained:
"This is a common and frequent disease of the female reproductive system. There are many different treatments, depending on the cause and location of the disease. But no matter which one it is, it is a great hazard to women's physical and mental health. Not only will their daily lives be disturbed, but in severe cases, their lives may be endangered."
At this point, Ye Qing reached out her hand and touched Sister Ma's wrist. Not long after, she raised her head and said to Sister Ma,
"You are currently suffering from uterine fibroids, which is a typical and common gynecological disease. Irregular menstrual bleeding, lower abdominal pain, abnormal leucorrhea, back pain, etc. are all symptoms caused by this gynecological disease."
"Although your disease is still in the benign tumor stage, if you don't pay attention to conditioning, there is a risk of disease progression, such as compression of the bladder causing kidney edema, abnormal enlargement of the fibroids leading to forced removal of the uterus, and even the possibility of cancer in severe cases."
Sister Ma was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she asked Ye Qing anxiously:
"I said I must have a problem. My last menstrual period was delayed for half a month and I felt uncomfortable all over. I thought it was because I was going to menopause, but I didn't expect it was because of a fibroid. How should this disease be treated? Xiaoye, do you have any idea?"
Ye Qing smiled and nodded, then he took out a piece of paper and pen from his bag and wrote a prescription for Sister Ma:
"Don't worry, it's not a big problem. There's a medical clinic right here at the military farm. Take the prescription I wrote to the doctor and get some medicine. One dose a day. Take it for three months first."
Seeing Ye Qing writing smoothly, and obviously confident and sure about her illness, Sister Ma finally put her heart at ease.
After her own personal experience, she became increasingly aware that the issue of women's health mentioned by Ye Qing was very important and must be taken seriously as soon as possible.
So the elder sister said to Ye Qing very seriously and solemnly:
"Comrade Ye, today's time is unfortunate. I have other things to deal with, so I can't discuss this matter with you in detail. Could you please sort out the relevant information about this gynecological disease first? I will ask someone to find you in a few days, and call a few other people, so that we can sit down and have a good chat together?"
When Ye Qing heard this, she knew that this elder sister really took what she said to heart, and she nodded in agreement.
The two were chatting when two people suddenly came up from behind:
"Ye Zhiqing, Ma's wife, why are the two of you here together?"
As soon as Sister Ma saw Zhao Jinliang, she immediately smiled at him and said:
"Director Zhao, I just went upstairs to discuss something with you, but you were not in the office. So I ran into Comrade Ye Qing when I came downstairs, and I chatted with her for a while."
Ye Qing glanced at Xia Hangyi behind Zhao Jinliang and did not speak in a hurry.
Zhao Jinliang did not ask Ye Qing what he wanted. He just waved at the two of them and motioned Ye Qing and Sister Ma to follow him upstairs. When they reached the director's office on the second floor, Sister Ma explained her purpose.
"Last month, Political Commissar Zhou mentioned to me that we should hold a social gathering at our farm. But the farm was busy rushing to meet the harvest deadline and didn't have time to do this. I didn't agree to his proposal at the time."
"But now the autumn harvest is over. During this period of rest and recuperation, I think it would be a good idea to organize the young single non-commissioned officers and volunteers in our farm and hold a social gathering with the surrounding communes for a group blind date."
"I'm here to discuss the time, location, and detailed rules with you and the political commissar, so that we can finalize the charter of this friendship association as soon as possible."
Zhao Jinliang is still interested in this matter.
There were tens of thousands of soldiers from the Construction Corps on the farm, and countless bachelors. Political Commissar Zhou was very worried about the marriage of these young men.
However, the number of female soldiers and volunteers helping with the construction of the farm is limited, and it is definitely not enough to absorb the needs internally, so we have to think of other ways to solve the problem.
It happened that the policy of going to the countryside to work began to be tightened in the past two years, and every year a large number of educated youth came to Qingshan Town to work in the fields. Therefore, Zhao Jinliang and Political Commissar Zhou thought about it privately and felt that it was not impossible to develop outside. They both set their sights on the group of female educated youth from the city.
However, this had never happened on the farm before, and Zhao Jinliang and Political Commissar Zhou certainly had no experience in this area as to how to implement it, so they decided to call Sister Ma, the women's director of the cadre family area, to take charge of the situation.
Sister Ma herself has a nephew who is anxious to find a partner, and Political Commissar Zhou's suggestion is just what she wants. The closer you are to the water, the easier it is to get the moon. Maybe she can use her position as the person in charge to help her nephew from her mother's side reserve a girl with good conditions in advance, so she is very happy to arrange this matter.
When talking about the social gathering, Zhao Jinliang couldn't help but teased Xia Hangyi and Ye Qing standing in front of him:
"You two seem to be single too, right? Are you interested in this social gathering? Otherwise, why don't you ask Sister Ma to submit your names as well?"
Ye Qing immediately waved his hands, saying he was not interested in such matters.
Xia Hangyi also looked a little embarrassed, but he was about to refuse, so Zhao Jinliang smiled and reminded him:
"Technician Xia, you are 24, right? At this age, it is time for you to find a partner. Professor Qiao talked to me about you a while ago. He said that you are young and talented, and you will definitely have a bright future. The only worrying thing is that you haven't started a family yet."
"If this man doesn't get married, he won't be able to settle down. Even if there is a good project, the old professor won't dare to easily hand it over to you to lead. What if you find a partner from another place one day and apply for a transfer in a fit of rage? Who will you find to take your place?"
"Only when the rear is stable can you focus on your career, right? Besides, it's just a social gathering. It doesn't matter if you don't meet someone you like. Just think of it as a gathering of people your age. It's good to have fun together and relax."
Zhao Jinliang had already said this, and it would be too disrespectful for Xia Hangyi to shirk and refuse again, so he had no choice but to agree.
Ye Qing watched from the sidelines. Anyway, she had her age as a shield. No matter how keen Zhao Jinliang and Sister Ma were on matchmaking, they could not force her, an "underage girl", to go out and socialize.
Sure enough, after persuading Xia Hangyi, Zhao Jinliang's gaze fell on Ye Qing.
Seeing that Ye Qing's face was expressionless but his eyes were full of resistance, Zhao Jinliang sighed and said nothing more.
To be honest, Ye Qing is really good in every aspect. If she was two or three years older, he would definitely act as a matchmaker for this girl and help her find a compatible partner on the farm!
It's a pity that the girl is still too young now, and it's not time for her to date. But if two or three years pass, with her ability, she would have already made a great success. How could there be any man worthy of her?
Ye Qing had no idea that Zhao Jinliang was silently muttering in his heart about her finding a partner. When she saw that Zhao Jinliang stopped persuading her, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
After Sister Ma and Xia Hangyi had finished dealing with their matters and left Zhao Jinliang's office, Ye Qing told Zhao Jinliang about her teacher coming from Shencheng to help with the construction of Qingshan Farm.
"My teacher got divorced a long time ago and has no children. She came to our farm alone and has no one to rely on. I am like her daughter, so I need you to take care of me."
Zhao Jinliang now responds to Ye Qing's every request. After all, the scientific reform of Qingshan Pig Farm depends on Ye Qing's help and guidance. So when he heard that the teacher who had a mother-daughter relationship with Ye Qing actually came to the farm, how could he not take it seriously?
Without Ye Qing asking, Zhao Jinliang quickly called Zhu Zhigang to help, to see if Song Chunhua still needed anything and to find a way to fill it.
So, in just half an afternoon, several soldiers helped to build a brick bed in Song Chunhua's room, separated it into a small kitchen, and got a small stove for Song Chunhua. They piled a lot of coal briquettes and dry firewood at the foot of the kitchen wall, and pasted newspapers on the walls of the entire room, making it look completely different from before.
Because the earthen kang was not suitable for sleeping yet, Ye Qing asked Song Chunhua to live in Kaoshan Village for a few days. The farm was close to Kaoshan Village anyway, so it would not be a problem for her to pick her up and drop her off at the farm every morning and evening.
Zhu Zhigang took over the matter of heating the kang and told Song Chunhua not to worry about it as he could help. Then Ye Qing rode his bicycle and took Song Chunhua back to the village.
A few days later, Ye Qing heard the news that the neighboring military farm was going to hold a social gathering, and young girls from the surrounding communes who were interested in this activity could go to the commune women's director to sign up.
Many female educated youth came to Ye Qing to inquire about the situation of the army farm, of course, they mainly wanted to inquire about the military rank allowances of the non-commissioned officers in the farm and the affairs of the troops.
Obviously, these female educated youth were not stupid. Finding a partner in the Corps sounded tempting, but if they could not see their partner for several days and could only continue to work hard in the village after getting married, then it would be of no benefit to them.
But Ye Qing didn't know much about these things and could only provide limited information. She could only ask the female educated youth to go to the commune to consult the women's director.
I don't know how the commune and the farm negotiated, but soon after the news of the friendship meeting was released, the female educated youth in Kaoshan Village went to the women's director to sign up one after another. Even girls of the right age in the village were eager to try.
However, after hearing about this, Meng Jia was completely indifferent and focused on summarizing the knowledge on the topic of women's health.
Because she heard from Ye Qing that the women's director of the neighboring farm was interested in this topic, and there were hundreds or even thousands of people in the cadre family area alone on the farm. If a popular science lecture was held in the farm, thousands or even tens of thousands of women might benefit. So Meng Jiaman was only thinking about doing this well, and she didn't care about or have any interest in the disturbances from the outside world.
The social gathering had not yet begun, but Captain Wu's family was the first to welcome a matchmaker. After the unsuccessful matchmaking attempt by Sister Ma at Kaoshantun last time, the Wu family was silent for a few days, and then rumors about Wu Yueying began to spread. It was said that this girl from the Wu family was destined to be a maid but had a lady's syndrome. She was obsessed with marrying up as a rich man, and even looked down on her previous boyfriend who was a battalion commander in the army. She wanted to marry a regiment commander or a division commander to become the wife of an official.
The Wu family knew exactly who spread the rumor, but they were indeed in the wrong in this matter, and could not blame others for doing these little tricks behind their backs. The whole family was furious at Wu Yueying's brainless behavior, but they could not show any anger.
Qin Xingzhi was so angry that she wanted to die. She had done her best to find a partner for her sister-in-law.
She had realized during this period that her sister-in-law must have regretted dumping Gu Weidong, but the marriage had been called off, and the sister-in-law had seriously offended Gu Weidong and the Gu family. Gu Weidong was a good young man, so how could he possibly get back together with Wu Yueying unless he was crazy?
Knowing that Wu Yueying and Gu Weidong would have no chance, Qin Xingzhi thought of finding a soldier in the army for Wu Yueying. So she went through many twists and turns and used many connections to finally get in touch with Director Ma from the farm next door. She wanted him to help her sister-in-law get married, and see if she could find a construction aid sergeant who met the age requirements in the farm next door.
Director Ma was quite friendly. After inquiring about her sister-in-law's situation, he said that she had a nephew from her mother's side who was serving on the farm. He became a company commander in his early twenties. He would be promoted to a higher level every few years, and would definitely have no problem getting promoted to a regular battalion by the time he was thirty.
Qin Xingzhi really thinks that this guy is not bad, and he lives in the farm next door, close to Kaoshantun. Even if she cannot go directly into the farm to follow the army now, it is not much different from following the army. Moreover, the other party's aunt is an officer in the family district, and she will definitely take good care of her nephew's wife in the future. Such a good marriage is hard to find even with a lantern.
But she was full of enthusiasm, but she had no idea that Wu Yueying didn't buy it at all. Not only did she scold Director Ma, making him so angry that he turned around and walked away on the spot, but she also turned around and scolded her for deliberately taking advantage of her misfortune and being jealous of her sister-in-law marrying well.
Qin Xingzhi was so angry that she cried, and she was completely disappointed with her sister-in-law. She said that she would not care about anything related to Wu Yueying in the future.
Seeing that her sister-in-law was working hard but getting no favors, Wu Min's wife no longer dared to make decisions on her own, so the marriage was put on hold.
Within two days, rumors spread that Wu Yueying was planning to marry someone rich. When Wu Yongbing and his wife heard the rumors, they became extremely anxious and angry and could not sleep for the entire night.
After discussing it, the couple decided to make a quick decision. They had to settle Wu Yueying's marriage before the rumors intensified, otherwise it would be even more difficult to find a suitable one in the future.
So the couple used their connections to ask around and find people who had an unmarried young man of the right age. After asking around, they finally found out that there was an orphan in Majiatun who grew up eating at many houses. The boy was about 24 or 25 years old, not bad looking, and was hardworking and down-to-earth. His only drawback was that his family was penniless, so they had never been able to find a partner.
Others may despise this young man because of his poor family, but Wu Yongbing does not. As long as he has good character, it doesn't matter if his conditions are not so good. At worst, after they get married, he and his wife can give some money to the young man, so that he can live a good life. He doesn't even plan to ask for any dowry. As long as the two children like each other, they can settle the matter quickly. He has no other requirements. It's up to the children to give as much or as little as they want.
Fearing that Wu Yueying would repeat the same trick she had used last time against Director Ma, Wu Yongbing and his wife were really determined this time. The night before the young man came to visit them, Wu's mother took the young lady aside and tried to persuade her earnestly. She explained everything to Wu Yueying and told her that she should not behave like this again. If she continued, she would become famous and would not be able to get married.
Wu Yongbing directly threatened that if Wu Yueying did not behave herself this time and made trouble again, he would really sever the father-daughter relationship with her and make her get out of his house. Whether she lived or died, good or bad in the future, it would have nothing to do with him, Wu Yongbing!
It was not known whether it was Wu Yueying who felt guilty because of her mother's tears and pleading, or whether she was frightened by Wu Yongbing's threat. In any case, after a mixture of coaxing and threatening attacks from the Wu family, Wu Yueying finally nodded.
Seeing that Wu Yueying finally agreed to the blind date, the whole family breathed a sigh of relief.
So the next morning, a matchmaker brought a young man to the Wu family's house.
When people heard that Wu Yueying had started a blind date, the whole village was in an uproar. Everyone became curious about the person Wu Yueying was going on a blind date with. Many gossipy aunties immediately used their connections to inquire about the background of this young man. They wanted to know what kind of person Wu Yueying, whom even Gu Weidong looked down upon, could find.
There were also some people who were curious about the matter and came to Gu's house to report the news. At the same time, they wanted to find out what Miao Cuilan and Gu Weidong thought about the matter.
But the Gu family really didn't care about Wu Yueying's affairs at all. Even if Wu Yueying married the mayor or the governor's family, it had nothing to do with them.
However, before the people in the village could find out the details of Wu Yueying's blind date, something went wrong at the blind date.
