After the neighbors next door brought their children home for dinner, the bored old lady Zhang also slowly went home and prepared a bowl of egg noodles for lunch. Her daughter basically would not come home for lunch, and she was too lazy to cook by herself. Boiling noodles was simple and tasted good, so it was naturally the first choice.

After a simple lunch, Mrs. Zhang watched TV for a while before taking a nap.

In the afternoon, Grandma Zhang walked to buy groceries. Maybe it was because she was too lonely, but when she saw those chubby little kids along the way, she couldn't help but stop and take a few more glances.

After coming back from shopping, Grandma Zhang called her daughter and asked her what time she would be back for dinner before she slowly began to pick vegetables and cook.

Because I cooked the dishes at a precise time, we can eat when my daughter comes back.

While eating, Old Lady Zhang said in a roundabout way, "The grandson of our neighbor Old Lady Li is really good-looking. I couldn't tell when he was little, but now he's two or three years old and has grown up. He's getting cuter and cuter."

Zhou Xue Ning's father died early, and the mother and daughter have depended on each other for twenty or thirty years. They know each other well. Seeing that her mother was urging her to get married so subtly, she felt that her behavior of conspiring with her friends to get married in a fake way in order to deal with her mother's urging was a bit excessive.

Just during this period, an old client of hers recommended to her Master Jiang, who was known as the best matchmaker in the country. After reading Master Jiang's matchmaking resume, Zhou Xue Ning had a hunch that her marriage should fall to Master Jiang.

Originally, even if her mother hadn't mentioned it, she was prepared to take some time to ask Master Jiang to act as a matchmaker.

Now that her mother had mentioned this, Zhou Xuening told her mother her plan, "Mom, don't envy others. I know that there is a very powerful matchmaker in our Guangxi Province. I will go to the provincial capital someday to ask him to be a matchmaker for me, and try to bring my son-in-law back to meet you by the end of this year."

Old Mrs. Zhang was really surprised and happy when she heard this. "Daughter, are you telling the truth? Are you kidding me?"

Zhou Xue Ning said: "It's true, I'm not kidding you. If you're in a hurry, you can help me find a matchmaker."

Mrs. Zhang was instantly full of energy and said excitedly, "Okay, give me the matchmaker's address and I'll go find a matchmaker for you."

Zhou Xue Ning said, "The matchmaker's name is Jiang Feng, and his fans respectfully call him Master Jiang. He opened a matchmaking agency near the provincial capital's railway station. The agency is named after happiness. You can go to the railway station and ask anyone for directions, and you'll know where it is."

Old Mrs. Zhang said excitedly, "Great, then I will go to the provincial capital tomorrow to find a matchmaker for you."

Perhaps because she was in a good mood, Grandma Zhang ate half a bowl of rice more than usual. After the meal, Zhou Xue Ning wanted to wash the dishes but she refused. She washed them quickly and then went out for a walk.

…

The next day.

Old Mrs. Zhang boarded the train to the provincial capital with hope. Her daughter helped her book the ticket, which was a first-class seat.

If Mrs. Zhang were allowed to book the ticket herself, she would definitely choose a second-class seat. The trip would only take an hour or two. Moreover, a first-class seat is only slightly more spacious than a second-class seat, but it is dozens of dollars more expensive. It is really not worth it at all.

Old Mrs. Zhang was sitting on the left window seat, and on her right sat an old lady of the same age as her. People of their age tend to talk a lot, and usually when they go out for a walk and meet old ladies of the same age they have to chat for half a day. This time they met on the bus, and they naturally started chatting.

Through chatting, Mrs. Zhang learned that the other person's surname was Li, he was the same age as her, and was a retired teacher.

After getting to know each other a little, Mrs. Zhang asked, "Teacher Li, how many children do you have?"

"I only have one son. Family planning was strictly enforced in our time. Unless you didn't want this job, you could only have one child. If the country had allowed a second child like it does now, I would definitely have given birth to another one."

At this point, Teacher Li asked, "How about you, Sister Zhang? How many children do you have?"

Old Lady Zhang said, "I also only have one daughter. Teacher Li, how old is your son? Is he married?"

When this was mentioned, Mr. Li said with a sad face, "He is 36 years old this year and still single. I am so worried that my hair has turned gray. This time I went to the provincial capital to ask a matchmaker to help him find a partner."

When Old Lady Zhang heard this, she was surprised and asked, "Teacher Li, you are not going to the Happy Marriage Agency to ask Master Jiang to be your matchmaker, are you?"

Teacher Li suddenly had an idea and asked, "Sister Zhang, are you also going to Master Jiang to help your daughter find a match?"

Old Lady Zhang nodded and said, "What a coincidence! My daughter is also 36 years old this year. I am worried about her marriage. In order to deal with my urging, she even arranged a fake marriage with a friend, and then divorced a year later. I was so scared that I didn't dare to urge her to get married in the past few years. If she hadn't told me last night, I would still be kept in the dark!"

Thinking of the news her daughter told her last night, Mrs. Zhang has not yet recovered. Her daughter is grown up now, but if it were twenty years ago, she would have insisted on letting her taste the flavor of fried bamboo shoots with pork.

Teacher Li gasped and said, "Sister Zhang, your daughter is a bit cruel!"

Old Lady Zhang sighed, "It's actually my fault for pushing her too hard. It was a critical time for her career to start. She probably didn't want to be distracted by these things, so she arranged a fake marriage to deal with it."

Teacher Li said with understanding: "I also pushed my son around a few years ago. He wasn't as bold as your daughter to fool me with a fake marriage, but during the time when I pushed him hard, he came home less and less often. He almost lived in their department."

Old Mrs. Zhang asked, "Teacher Li, what does your son do?"

Teacher Li said: "He is a doctor, working in the First People's Hospital of our city."

Old Mrs. Zhang praised, "Hello, doctor. With a doctor at home, we don't have to worry if the elderly and children have a headache or a fever. Besides, your son is a doctor in a big hospital like the First People's Hospital. It's really easy for him to find a wife."

Teacher Li smiled and said, "It is indeed much more convenient to have a doctor at home, but doctors also have their disadvantages, that is, they are too busy at work, especially young doctors, who spend much more time in the hospital than at home. My son has been interning and working in the hospital for more than ten years, and it is only in recent years that he has had resident doctors to command, so he has a little more ease."

Old Mrs. Zhang nodded and said, "Being a doctor is indeed very busy. The hospital is always short of staff. My friend's child is also a doctor. When he was the busiest, he didn't come home for several days in a row. My friend was so distressed that he kept telling us that he shouldn't have let his child study medicine in the first place."

The two old ladies chatted about doctors for several minutes before Teacher Li asked, "Sister Zhang, you said earlier that when you urged her to get married, your daughter's career was at a critical stage. I wonder what your daughter does?"

Old Lady Zhang said, "She said she was developing some kind of software, but I don't understand it anyway."

Teacher Li was surprised and said, "Software development, that's amazing. It seems your daughter must be an excellent student!"

When talking about this, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but feel proud of it, and smiled: "My daughter has never given me any worries about her studies since she was a child. She was admitted to Peking University as the top scorer in the college entrance examination. After graduating from university, she followed her mentor to study for a master's and doctoral degree. In the end, she has education, but she has neglected her lifelong event. I don't know whether it is good or bad."

Teacher Li praised: "It's amazing! Although PhDs are very common in this era, in fact, compared with the number of college students, the number of PhDs is still very small. With such an academic degree, she can be successful in any industry. Your daughter can be said to have a bright future!"

As for lifelong events, more and more people are marrying late in this era, and it is normal to get married before the age of 40, so Sister Zhang, you don’t have to worry too much. Besides, you have come to see Master Jiang, and with this great matchmaker, your daughter’s marriage can be solved in minutes.”

Old Lady Zhang said, "Teacher Li, I only heard about Master Jiang yesterday from my daughter. My daughter said he is the most famous matchmaker in the country. I wonder how much you know about Master Jiang?"

Teacher Li said, "Master Jiang is truly amazing. He has been a matchmaker for many celebrities and wealthy people. He is most famous for his ability to predict marriages. It is said that every couple he has matched is a rare model couple, all thanks to his magical ability to predict marriages."

Old Mrs. Zhang clapped her legs in excitement and said, "Oh my god, such an amazing matchmaker, why haven't I heard of him before? If I had heard of him earlier, I would have had a grandson a long time ago."

Teacher Li smiled and said, "Sister Zhang, don't get excited. Although Master Jiang is very famous, he has only been a matchmaker for more than a year."

Old Lady Zhang was surprised and asked, "No way, Master Jiang has only been matchmaking for over a year?"

Teacher Li nodded and said, "Yes, it has only been a little over a year. This Master Jiang is a legendary figure. He just graduated from university last year, and then he returned to his hometown to start matchmaking. As a result, his business grew bigger and bigger, and within a few months he came to the provincial capital to open a matchmaking agency."

Old Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but sigh: "Young people are really to be feared!"

Teacher Li agreed deeply with what he said. Today's young people are indeed more capable than each other.

The two chatted all the way and unknowingly arrived at the provincial capital. They were both going to find Master Jiang to act as a matchmaker, so naturally they traveled together.

When they arrived at the Happy Marriage Agency, the two began to fill out the information form according to the guidance of the service staff.

After they finished filling out the information form, the service staff smiled and said, "Please wait a moment, aunties. I will take the information form to Master Jiang for review. If it passes the review, we will sign the contract."

The two old ladies were already clear about the process, so they nodded in agreement.

In less than three minutes, a handsome young man appeared in front of the two old ladies with two information sheets and said with a smile: "Hello, aunts. My name is Jiang Feng, also known as Master Jiang. According to my calculations, your children are a perfect match. There is no need to sign a contract and waste money. You can just go back and match them up directly."

The two old ladies were startled when they heard this, but Teacher Li was the quickest to react. She clapped her hands on her thigh and said, "This is fate. Sister Zhang, you don't know that when I heard you talk about your daughter in the car, I was moved. But I felt that my son was probably not worthy of your daughter, so I didn't dare to express my thoughts."

Old Lady Zhang said with a smile: "Teacher Li, you are too modest. Your son is also very outstanding. Since Master Jiang said that your son and my daughter are a good match, why don't we go back and match them up?"

Teacher Li nodded repeatedly and said, "Sister Zhang, if you don't mind, then I would love it."

At this point, Teacher Li took out a red envelope from his pocket, handed it to Jiang Feng and said, "Master Jiang, you are the matchmaker who cares most about the clients that I have ever seen. Please take this red envelope. After the matter is settled, I will ask them to come to thank you."

When Teacher Li took out the red envelope, Old Lady Zhang also took out a red envelope from her pocket. People of their age are more particular about good luck, so they will definitely have red envelopes prepared when they ask someone to be a matchmaker.

After Teacher Li finished speaking, Old Lady Zhang also handed over the red envelope and said, "Master Jiang, we came in a hurry and didn't even buy any fruit. We are really sorry. We will let them make up for it later."

Jiang Feng smiled and declined, "You two aunts, you don't have to be polite. It's just a small favor for me."

"Master Jiang, arranging the marriage of our children may be a piece of cake for you, but your effort will bring them a lifetime of happiness. I cannot thank you enough."

"Yes, Master Jiang, please don't refuse. If you don't accept this red envelope, we will not feel at ease."

The two old ladies took turns to persuade Jiang Feng, and Jiang Feng had no choice but to accept the red envelope and said, "Okay, then I'll accept it. You can go back and match your children together, and it should be very smooth. If you need help, you can call me."

"Got it, thank you Master Jiang."

After writing down Jiang Feng's cell phone number, the two old ladies left with many thanks.

…

That night.

A villa in Foshan City, Guangdong Province.

Chu Yaoyao lay on her side on the bed, hunched over like a shrimp, her whole body aching from being beaten by her husband.

This is not the first time that a day like this has happened, and I believe it will not be the last.

Thinking back on the past few years, Chu Yaoyao was filled with remorse. In addition to her own responsibility, her parents also played a big role in her current situation.

Chu Yaoyao has been beautiful since she was a child. Her mother always tells everyone that since Yaoyao is beautiful, it doesn’t matter whether she has good grades or not, because she can marry a rich man when she grows up.

Chu Yaoyao grew up with praise from her family and thought she was the prettiest girl in the crowd. Other girls were ugly ducklings in her eyes. She loved dressing up. When her female classmates’ understanding of cosmetics was still limited to a lipstick, she had already put on exquisite makeup.

Chu Yaoyao, who loves beauty, has never paid attention to her studies. In her own words, "What's the point of studying well? I still have to find a job and a husband in the future. It's better to dress up while I'm young, marry a rich husband in the future, and be a rich wife who doesn't have to do anything."
