Chapter 41: Carrying the Banner of Singles



Due to the imbalance in the male-female population ratio in my country, the number of bachelors (referring to men only, not including women) has been increasing in recent years. The number of bachelors in Guangxi Province ranks sixth in my country, and it is also a well-known province with a large number of bachelors.

Among the 14 prefecture-level cities in Guangxi Province, bachelors from Yulin City surpassed all others and won first place with absolute strength.

Bailiang County is one of the top three most populous counties in the country and is also a hard-hit area for the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls. Among the seven districts and counties in Yulin City, it is naturally the best choice to carry the banner of bachelors.

It is not an exaggeration to say that in terms of the number of bachelors, Bailiang County dares to challenge the other thirteen prefecture-level cities in Guangxi Province one by one with the strength of a single county.

From this, we can imagine how terrifying the number of bachelors is in Bailiang County!

Among the 28 towns under the jurisdiction of Bailiang County, Qinghe Town does not rank first in terms of the number of bachelors, but it is definitely among the top.

This is the reason why the matchmaker fee in Qinghe Town is often over 10,000 yuan, which is higher than many places in Guangxi Province. There are simply too many bachelors in the town.

In Longshan Village of Qinghe Town, there are dozens of bachelors over the age of 30. Among these bachelors, the worst conditions are the brothers Jiang Wendong and Jiang Wenxi.

The two brothers are 40 and 38 years old this year. They are both prepared to be widows for life. The elder brother Jiang Wendong often jokes in front of his friends that he will hold a widowhood party after he turns 60.

Although it was just a joke, one can also hear Jiang Wendong's despair and helplessness towards marriage from his words.

There was no way. The conditions of the two brothers were really too poor, so poor that they didn't even have the courage to find a matchmaker.

When Jiang Wendong and his brother were young, their mother fell seriously ill and died soon after.

When they were adults, their grandmother also died of illness.

To make matters worse, within a few years their grandfather and father also suffered strokes. Although they did not die, they became paralyzed!

Although the two brothers have an uncle and two aunts, the two aunts are like married daughters. According to the customs and habits in Bailiang County, unless there are no sons, supporting parents (including taking care of paralyzed parents) is the responsibility of sons and daughters-in-law, and most daughters cannot be counted on.

This is also a reflection of the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls in Bailiang County.

Therefore, taking care of the paralyzed grandfather is the responsibility of their uncle's family and their two brothers, while taking care of their father is the responsibility of only the two brothers.

Of course, responsibilities belong to responsibilities, but the specific implementation can be negotiated.

Finally, after some discussion, the two brothers agreed to take care of their paralyzed grandfather and not let their uncle's family worry about him. In addition to providing enough living expenses every month, their uncle also promised to give them a sum of money when they build a house and get married.

So, from then on, the two brothers took turns staying in their hometown to take care of their paralyzed grandfather and father, while the other went out to work to earn money. A few years ago, they finally built a house in their hometown with the help of their uncle.

Although only two floors were built, with only two bedrooms and a living room on each floor, and the decoration was very ordinary, the two brothers at least had a new house to live in.

As the years go by, the brothers are getting older. Now the eldest brother, Jiang Wendong, is over 40 years old, but he has never married and has never even mentioned it to anyone.

It's not that they don't want to get married, but the brothers are self-aware and know that with a family like theirs, it's almost impossible to get married. And if they hire a matchmaker, it will cost a lot of money regardless of whether the match is successful or not. It's not easy for the brothers to make money, so they really don't want to waste this money.

However, this was the brothers’ previous idea. Now their ideas have changed a little, and the reason for the change is that Jiang Feng, a brother from the same clan, acted as a matchmaker!

Based on Jiang Wendong's understanding of this brother of the same clan during this period, he discovered that his matchmaking success rate had reached an incredible 100%. As long as Jiang Feng introduced the couple to a blind date, there would be no failure in the match.

It was precisely because of this terrifying blind date success rate that Jiang Wendong, who had completely despaired of marriage, suddenly felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.

However, for Jiang Wendong, finding a matchmaker was like a young lady getting married - it was the first time for him. Due to his inferiority complex due to his family background, he was afraid of being laughed at, so he hesitated for several days and could not make up his mind.

In the end, the desire to get married prevailed, and Jiang Wendong decided to hire a matchmaker.

After Jiang Feng came back from Shenzhen, clients came to him for two consecutive days. One of the clients was from the same village as Li Xingwen. If nothing unexpected happened, he must have been influenced by Li Xingwen and decided to come to him.

When Jiang Feng was in Shenzhen before, he received a call from him saying that he wanted to visit him.

The other client was truly beyond Jiang Feng's expectations; it turned out to be his fellow clan member Jiang Wendong.

Jiang Feng felt a little sympathy for Jiang Wendong and Jiang Wenxi, two brothers from the same clan. After all, taking care of two paralyzed patients for more than ten years was a difficult task that only people who had experienced it personally could understand.

Jiang Feng had thought about going to the two brothers to talk and trying his best to help them find a wife so that they wouldn't be widowed for life. But he had just started working and hadn't made much progress yet. He was afraid that if he went to the brothers' house and they didn't trust him, it would be embarrassing!

Now that Jiang Wendong has taken the initiative to come to him, Jiang Feng is naturally happy.

Jiang Wendong handed the matchmaking red envelope to Jiang Feng, and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Xiao Feng, you also know the situation of our family. I'm afraid I can't afford too much matchmaking money..."

Jiang Feng interrupted quickly, "Brother Dong, we are brothers from the same clan, so let's not talk about this!"

While speaking, he took the red envelope handed over by Jiang Wendong, and then opened the red envelope in front of him. He found that there were six old people's heads inside. It was really a big investment!

Jiang Feng took out one of them, and then returned the other five to Jiang Wendong, and continued: "Brother Dong, one is enough for me, and you take these fruits back as well. I will notify you when there is any news!"

Jiang Wendong was grateful and said, "Xiao Feng, I won't say any more polite words, but this fruit is not worth much, you must accept it, otherwise you will look down on me. Also, Xiao Feng, if you need my help in the future, just let me know, I will be there whenever you call!"

Jiang Feng said helplessly: "Okay, I'll take the fruit. I'll set out right away to find a date for you. If everything goes well, I can arrange a blind date for you tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest!"

Jiang Wendong couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked, "So fast?"

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "My matchmaking speed is indeed unmatched by others, just wait for my good news!"

Jiang Wendong nodded with a smile on his face. While he was looking forward to the upcoming blind date, he was also a little nervous. He wondered if the woman he was going on a blind date with would dislike him.
