The next day.
After Xu Shicheng woke up, he did not get up immediately, but stared at the ceiling in a daze.
He had originally made up his mind to divorce. Although he did not move out of the rental house during this period (mainly because he rented the house), he and his wife also slept in separate rooms.
However, after nearly half a month of persistence, his efforts were completely ruined by his wife last night.
Thinking of the side of his wife that he had never seen before last night, Xu Shicheng was stimulated to an indescribable excitement. In the early stage, it was his wife who took the initiative, but in the later stage, he could not help but turned from passive to active.
This made it impossible for the divorce to go ahead.
From here, we can see the difference between men and women. When a couple or a boyfriend or girlfriend quarrels, it is very difficult for a man to ease the relationship by going to bed.
Because once a woman is angry, she will not want you to touch her at all, and men will also feel bored when facing her expression of disgust and disgust.
But if a man is angry, it would be too easy for a woman to ease the relationship by having sex with him.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the woman has a top-notch figure and appearance, is usually very popular with men, and is a woman who men constantly want to unlock new positions with. If she is the kind of woman that men can't avoid, that is another matter.
The woman you already like tries to please you in every way, shows postures she is usually unwilling to show in front of you, and then lets you do whatever you want to her. How many men in this world can resist this?
It was obvious that Xu Shicheng couldn't hold on.
The moment he took the initiative, the divorce could no longer go forward.
After all, he loves his wife, but he just can't stand her increasingly pretentious personality. He can't do such a thing as putting on pants and then not recognizing her.
But then again, if my wife continues to act the same way as before, divorce is inevitable sooner or later.
Thinking of this, Xu Shicheng took out his mobile phone and searched online for emotional mediation experts.
After checking for more than half an hour, Xu Shicheng finally locked on a nationally renowned emotional expert - Master Jiang.
After reading the information about this Master Jiang, Xu Shicheng was filled with admiration for him. He used metaphysical methods to act as a matchmaker, and his clients included many big stars and wealthy people. He also did marriage mediation for a short period of time, but later closed down the marriage mediation business for some unknown reason.
If Master Jiang is willing to help, then the emotional problems between the couple would probably be solved.
After thinking about it, Xu Shicheng secretly made a decision. He went back to discuss it with his wife, prepared gifts, and took the high-speed rail to the provincial capital of Guangxi Province on the weekend, hoping to ask Master Jiang to help solve their emotional problems.
…
Yong'an Village, Taiping Town, Xin'an County, Yulin City.
This is a remote mountain village located deep in the mountains and forests. Even in the 21st century, there is no direct road leading to the village. If you want to enter the village, you can only walk.
It was not until 2016 that the village had access to a road.
In Yong'an Village, there is a very famous family, that is the Deng family.
Deng Da is 78 years old this year. His parents died of illness when he was very young. In this rural area deep in the mountains, his family was already poor enough, and with the death of both his parents, Deng Da had a very miserable childhood.
He grew up eating at many people's homes.
This sentence sounds simple, but only after experiencing it will you know how difficult it is.
When he grew up, in order not to trouble his neighbors anymore, Deng Da started to learn how to farm and replanted the farmland that had been abandoned for many years. After a few years, Deng Da was finally able to support himself and no longer needed help from his neighbors.
When he was in his twenties, a matchmaker introduced a girl to him. However, when the girl saw Deng Da's bare house, she turned around and left without even thinking twice.
Later, several girls behaved in the same way, and even the matchmaker didn't have the confidence to introduce him to any girls. People in the same village all thought that Deng Da was destined to be a bachelor for the rest of his life.
In this way, Deng Da made a living by farming and spent his most beautiful youth alone in this remote mountain village.
It was not until the end of the 1970s, after the reform and opening up, that a wave of migrant workers swept across the country. It was at that time that Deng Da, who was already middle-aged, followed the young people in the village and packed his bags to come to Guangdong Province to work. The purpose of his trip was simple, just to earn some money for his retirement.
In his heart, getting married was no longer something he dared to dream of.
After arriving in Guangdong Province, Deng Da found that he could do nothing except farming. He had no choice but to work as a laborer on a construction site. As a result, he worked there for more than ten years and never returned to his hometown.
Sometimes fate is really magical.
When Deng Da was young, he tried every means to marry a wife to carry on the family line, but he never succeeded. When he was over fifty, he had given up the idea of getting married, but his wife came to him on her own initiative.
When Deng was 49 years old, a very young female worker came to the construction site.
This female worker named Weng Xiaolan was born in a poor family. Her parents had a serious idea of favoring boys over girls and always took care of her brothers. Her parents stopped supporting her education before she graduated from elementary school and asked her to come back to help with the work. However, her parents continued to support her brothers' education even though their grades were not good.
Such differential treatment naturally made her not have much affection for this family.
When Weng Xiaolan was 19 years old, in order to leave this home where she had little affection, she went to Guangdong Province to work alone.
She originally wanted to find a job in an electronics factory, but she had not even finished elementary school, and many factories required a junior high school diploma for recruitment, so they turned her away.
After more than a month of searching, Weng Xiaolan, who had repeatedly failed to find a job, was now penniless. She had no choice but to try her luck at a construction site to see if anyone wanted her.
Perhaps because the foreman felt sorry for the little girl, he kept her and arranged some easy work for her. In this way, Weng Xiaolan finally had a stable income.
It was at this construction site that 19-year-old Weng Xiaolan and 49-year-old Deng Da met.
This was truly a fateful encounter.
The two were 30 years apart in age. Deng Da was an orphan and felt sorry for the girl, so he treated her like his own daughter and helped her in every way. Deng Da worked quickly and efficiently, and whenever he finished his work, he would help her. Whenever he saw other workers teasing her, he would stop them.
For Weng Xiaolan, who lacked parental love since childhood, Deng Da's fatherly care and help gave her a sense of security. Even though there was a 30-year age difference between them, it couldn't stop her from liking him.
So, one day, Weng Xiaolan bravely confessed her love to Deng Da.
Weng Xiaolan's confession shocked Deng Da.
To be honest, at that time, Deng Da's concern and help for Weng Xiaolan was purely out of pity for this girl, and he really didn't have any improper thoughts.
After all, there is a 30-year age difference between them, and he is too old to be her father.
In Deng Da's heart, Weng Xiaolan's confession was just a momentary impulse, and he could not ruin her lifelong happiness because of her momentary impulse.
Therefore, Deng Da rationally controlled his emotions and tactfully rejected Weng Xiaolan.
Who would have thought that Weng Xiaolan not only did not give up, but launched a fierce pursuit of Deng Da. She told Deng Da: "I don't care about age. I just want someone who loves me and I'll be satisfied."
This time, Deng Da was moved. He was not a saint, and he did not want to live alone. Facing Weng Xiaolan's pursuit, it was already remarkable that he could refuse her once. How could he possibly refuse a second time?
Now love is right in front of him and the girl doesn't mind it. What else does he have to worry about when he is nearly fifty years old?
So, the two fell in love.
After a while, their relationship remained stable, so Deng brought Weng Xiaolan back to his hometown to hold a wedding.
Their marriage undoubtedly caused a huge sensation in the village.
No one in the village was optimistic about their marriage. After all, Deng was 30 years older than Weng Xiaolan, and their family was so poor. It was estimated that it would not be long before Weng Xiaolan could not stand this kind of life and ran away.
However, not long after the marriage, Weng Xiaolan became pregnant. When the villagers saw that the two even had a child, they thought that Weng Xiaolan must want to live a good life with Deng Da, and the rumors in the village gradually dissipated.
In 1995, their first daughter was born, which completely stopped the rumors in the village.
Perhaps it was because the villagers had talked too much before, and Deng Da couldn't help but feel a little worried after listening to it too much. At that time, he was already 50 years old, and Weng Xiaolan was only 20 years old. Although his wife repeatedly promised to protect her for a lifetime, she still had her best years after all. When he got old, would she still be able to follow him as always?
Because he was afraid that his wife would leave him, Deng Da came up with an idea, which was to let his wife give birth to as many children as possible, trying to tie her down with the children. If they had more children, his wife would naturally not have the possibility of remarrying.
In this way, Deng Da started his plan to have a baby.
From 1995 to 1997, the couple gave birth to three daughters in three years.
It was not until 1999 that Deng Da, who was already 54 years old, finally welcomed his fourth child, a boy, who was also the first boy born in his family.
According to Weng Xiaolan, giving birth to this son would be considered as completing the mission of continuing the family line. However, her husband Deng Da still wanted to have more children. His reason at the time was that the family was too poor and if they wanted to change the family's fate, having one more child would give them one more chance to turn things around. In the end, Weng Xiaolan agreed with her husband's idea.
From then on, the plan to have a child became uncontrollable.
From the birth of her first child in 1995 to the birth of her sixth child in 2000, she gave birth to one child per year on average. It can be said that during those six years, Weng Xiaolan was either pregnant or giving birth.
What is astonishing is that this was just the beginning. By 2016, when the road was built in the village, the couple had given birth to 15 children in total, including 3 sons and 12 daughters. It was really amazing.
You should know that when Deng Da gave birth to his last daughter, he was already 71 years old.
Even after giving birth to 15 children, the couple still wanted to have more children. Unfortunately, after the village was connected by road, it was no longer isolated from the outside world as before. Their family situation was exposed. With the care of the government, the couple had to give up the idea of having more children.
Today, the eldest daughter is married and has children, and the youngest daughter is already 7 years old.
Deng Da’s only wish now is to see all his children get married and have their own families during his lifetime, so that he will die without regrets.
Unfortunately, the marriages of their children did not go smoothly. Except for the eldest daughter who got married successfully, the second daughter who was 27 years old and the third daughter who was 26 years old were both unable to find a marriage partner.
Deng Da's daughter has a good figure and good looks. If she were in other families, it would be a matter of minutes for her to get married. There is no telling how many men would be vying for her. But in a poor family with 15 brothers and sisters, it is a bit daunting.
His eldest daughter was able to get married smoothly because she was lucky and met a rare good man.
That afternoon, Deng Da was smoking a hookah outside his house when he suddenly saw Aunt Li, a famous matchmaker in town, driving an electric bike past his house. He quickly put down his hookah and greeted her enthusiastically, "Aunt Li, where are you going? Stop the car and come sit with me. I have something to talk to you about."
"Brother Deng." Aunt Li greeted him, then stopped the car and walked over.
As a famous matchmaker in Taiping Town, Aunt Li knew almost all the famous families in each village, though not every household.
The Deng family is really famous in Taiping Town. Even ordinary people know it, not to mention matchmakers like her who travel to various villages every day.
Deng Da brought a stool and waited for Aunt Li to sit down. He then got straight to the point and said, "Aunt Li, my second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth children are all of marriageable age. Can you see if there are any suitable partners and help to match them up?"
Aunt Li smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Deng, it's not that I don't want to help. The whole town knows about your family's situation. It's really difficult to help your children find suitable partners."
Deng Da nodded and said, "I know it's difficult, but Aunt Li, you have a lot of connections, so there must be a way."
Aunt Li shook her head and said, "Brother Deng, you think too highly of me."
Deng Da Ziran knew Aunt Li's concerns and asked with some disappointment, "Aunt Li, is there really no solution at all?"
Aunt Li looked at the old man in front of her who was famous throughout the town, and felt sympathy. She took a deep breath and said, "Brother Deng, my matchmaking skills are limited, and I really can't help your children find partners. But I know a very good matchmaker. If you really want to find partners for your children, go find him!
I believe that with his matchmaking ability, it will be easy for him to help your children find a partner."
Deng Da was surprised and asked, "Aunt Li, you are not kidding me, right?"
Aunt Li rolled her eyes at him and said, "I don't have the time to talk to you about this. As the saying goes, competitors are enemies. If it weren't for the special situation of your family, Brother Deng, I would never introduce you to a competitor."
Upon hearing this, Deng Da thanked her repeatedly, "Thank you, Aunt Li. I wonder where this amazing matchmaker you mentioned is from?"
This was originally brought up by Aunt Li, so she naturally would not hide it and directly introduced: "The matchmaker is also from our Yulin City. His hometown is Bailiang County. He currently runs a matchmaking agency in the provincial capital. He is very famous online and has helped many big stars and wealthy people to make matches. You can go directly to the provincial capital to find him."
At this point, Aunt Li stood up and said, "His name is Master Jiang. You can ask your child to look up the specific information online. I still have to help my client arrange a blind date, so I'll leave first."
Watching Aunt Li drive away on her electric bike, Deng Damin repeated the name "Master Jiang" several times, then took out a worn-out old-fashioned cell phone and called his second daughter, Deng Jiuliu, who was a nurse at the county hospital.
Since Deng Da had not received much education and his wife only attended elementary school for a few years and had a low level of education, when it came time to name their child, the couple couldn't think of a good name after a long time, so they simply named the child according to the year of his birth.
The eldest daughter was born in 1995 and was named Deng Jiuwu. The second daughter was born in 1996 and was named Deng Jiuliu. The third daughter was named Deng Jiuqi... and so on.
When the call was connected, the second daughter Deng Jiuliu asked, "Dad, I'm at work, what's up?"
Deng Dadao: "Nothing, I just want you to check some information for me online. Since you are at work, I will call your sister. She should be free."
"Oh, fine, call me, I'm busy!"
"Well, that's it."
After hanging up the phone, Deng Da called his eldest daughter Deng Jiuwu, who was already married.
As soon as the call was connected, Deng asked, "Boss, are you free now?"
Deng Jiuwu said, "When you have time, Dad, tell me what you want to say."
"Help me look up someone's information online."
"Dad, whose information do you want to check?"
"His name is Master Jiang. Call me when you find out."
"Oh well."
