Qingshan Town.
Zhujia Village.
After dinner, Zhu Liang took out his phone and pulled out the photo that Master Jiang had sent him. He then handed it to his parents and said, "Mom and Dad, what do you think of this woman?"
Zhu's father took the phone and commented as he looked at it: "This woman is good. She is dressed simply, nothing fancy. She looks like a woman who can live a down-to-earth life."
Mother Zhu, who was feeding her grandson, quickly put down the small bowl in her hand and said, "Bring it here for me to see!"
Seeing this, Father Zhu handed her the phone, then looked at his youngest son and asked, "Liangzi, is this the woman that Master Jiang introduced to you?"
Zhu Liang nodded and said, "Yes, the photo was sent to me by Master Jiang."
Mother Zhu looked at it for about ten seconds before handing the phone back to her youngest son. She said, "This woman is really good, much better than your previous one. It's also our fault that we pushed you too hard, and you ended up marrying a woman like this... Alas!"
Zhu Liang shook his head and said, "Mom, this is not your fault. After all, ours is just an ordinary family. Who would have thought that someone would deliberately disguise themselves to marry into our family?"
Father Zhu waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about the past. As the saying goes, the old doesn't go away before the new comes. We should still look forward. What Master Jiang introduced is very good!"
Zhu Liang asked, "Mom and Dad, do you think this girl is good?"
Zhu's father said: "From the photos, he does look good, but we can only see his appearance. As for his personality, we have to spend more time with him to know."
Mother Zhu fed her grandson a mouthful of food and sighed, "Women nowadays are really good at disguising themselves. You can't tell anything from them even after a short time together. You have to spend a long time together to know."
Zhu Liang smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, you don't have to worry about this. You should know that the matchmaker we hired this time is not the previous matchmaker who only cares about money, but Master Jiang who can predict marriage based on a person's face. Since Master Jiang can introduce this woman to me, it proves that this woman and I are destined to be husband and wife, and we should live happily together."
Mother Zhu nodded repeatedly and said, "Liangzi's words make sense. Master Jiang is not an ordinary person. The person he introduced should be correct."
Upon hearing this, Zhu's father also nodded. He and his wife both believed in fate, and usually looked at those Feng Shui masters, fortune tellers, fairy masters and other "strange people" with a different eye. After hearing his youngest son and eldest daughter talk about Master Jiang's magical abilities, they became extremely convinced of Master Jiang.
Seeing that his parents believed Master Jiang, Zhu Liang took the opportunity to say, "Mom and Dad, there is one thing I want to make clear to you first. This woman is good in every way except that she can't have children. I wonder if you can accept this?"
Zhu's father and mother were stunned for a moment. The news suddenly thrown out by their youngest son was indeed beyond their expectations.
Father Zhu was silent for a while before he sighed, "Liangzi, why don't you let Master Jiang introduce you to another one!"
Zhu Liang did not comment, looked at his mother and said, "Mom, what do you say?"
Mother Zhu looked at her grandson and said thoughtfully, "Liangzi, you already have a son, so we can understand if you don't want to have a second child. But people's words are scary. You know the customs here. If the villagers knew that you married a wife who couldn't bear children (infertile), I'm afraid you would be ridiculed behind your back."
Zhu Liang looked at his still ignorant son, took a deep breath and said: "Mom and Dad, I understand your worries, but I think this way, if I marry another wife and have a second or even third child, it will definitely have a great impact on Xiaohu.
After all, she is a stepmother. Women are inherently more narrow-minded than men. On one side is her own biological child, and on the other side is the child of her husband and his ex-wife. I don't believe she can treat them equally.
But if I marry a woman who is infertile and has no children of her own, she will definitely raise our Xiaohu as her own child. In this way, the impact of my divorce on Xiaohu will be minimal.
As for being afraid of being laughed at, that woman used to quarrel with me every other day, and I had already lost face in the village. Compared with other people's opinions, I think living a good life is the most important thing. "
After hearing what Zhu Liang said, Zhu's father said with a look of relief: "Liangzi, you have finally grown up!"
Zhu Liang chose a good entry point in his remarks. He used his son Xiaohu as an example, which made Zhu's mother feel sympathetic.
After successfully convincing his parents, Zhu Liang called Master Jiang immediately.
When Jiang Feng received the call, he knew that Zhu Liang had convinced his parents without his help, and he was naturally relieved. It was worth his hard work to travel to six or seven towns and search for this person with a marriage match value of 80 points.
…
The next day at noon.
Arranged by the matchmaker Jiang Feng, the Zhu family and the Ding family met at the Sixth Uncle Restaurant in Maolin Town.
Both families attached great importance to this meeting. From the Zhu family, Zhu Liang was accompanied by Zhu's father and mother, two sisters and sister-in-law, while from the Ding family, Ding Yaping was accompanied by Ding's father and a cousin.
During this blind date, matchmaker Jiang Feng was finally not as leisurely as he was the first time he arranged a blind date for a client.
It was actually the first time he arranged a blind date that the client was so outstanding. Not only did the male protagonist of the blind date suffer from social incompetence, but even the parents of both parties made a living in the same industry chain.
So during that blind date, Jiang Feng apart from introducing both parties at the beginning, only occasionally interjected a few words, and throughout the whole process, all he had to do was eat and drink well!
Today's blind date was different. On the one hand, there was a lack of people who were good at speaking. In comparison, only Zhu Liang's elder sister Zhu Li was good at speaking, and the others were not so good. On the other hand, because both the man and the woman were divorced, there were many topics that were not suitable to be discussed in person, so as not to embarrass the other party.
In this case, Jiang Feng, the matchmaker, has to be responsible for guiding the conversation between the two parties to avoid awkward silences.
Fortunately, Jiang Feng knew the male and female protagonists of the blind date very well, so it was easy for him to guide the two parties in chatting.
This meal took more than two hours.
Before checking out and leaving, the man has to complete the last step of "getting to know each other" - giving a red envelope!
The red envelope was sent by Zhu's father. In addition to the three people from the woman's side, Jiang Feng, the matchmaker, also received a thick red envelope.
After leaving the restaurant, the two sides exchanged some pleasantries, and then the Zhu family got into the car and left.
Jiang Feng did not go with the Zhu family. As a matchmaker, he wanted to stay and ask the woman's attitude. If she was satisfied, that would be great. If there was anything she was not satisfied with, he could also help persuade her.
The job of a matchmaker is to try to eliminate all the concerns that arise from the unfamiliarity between men and women.
Seeing that the Zhu family had left, Jiang Feng went straight to the point and asked, "Uncle Ding, cousin, sister Ping, brother Liang, you all saw it, what do you think of him?"
Ding Yaping's cousin was the first to speak out: "He does look quite honest and energetic. I think he's not bad."
Ding Qingsheng also nodded and said, "It does look good at the moment, but this is the first time we've met, so we can't tell much. We'll have to spend more time together to know for sure."
Jiang Feng looked at Ding Yaping and asked, "Sister Ping, what do you think?"
Ding Yaping did not answer but asked, "Master Jiang, I would like to ask what is the man's attitude towards me?" She learned to call him Master Jiang from the Zhu family.
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Sister Ping, it's actually easiest to guess what the man's attitude towards you is. Just take out the red envelope and see the amount inside and you'll know exactly what he is thinking!"
Ding Yaping suddenly realized and couldn't help but curse herself for being so stupid.
She was not a little girl who knew nothing, but as someone involved in the situation, she just didn't expect it at the moment.
After hearing what Jiang Feng said, Ding Yaping took out the red envelope that Zhu's father had just given her and opened it in front of Jiang Feng, the matchmaker. Then she found that there were eight old people's heads in the red envelope. This amount clearly showed the man's attitude towards her.
Seeing this, Jiang Feng smiled and asked, "Sister Ping, the man's attitude towards you has been expressed very clearly with this red envelope. What do you think of Brother Liang?"
Ding Yaping answered concisely: "Yes!"
