"Professional mourner?" Chen Yonggui was confused. What kind of profession was this? He had never even heard of it.

Jiang Feng saw his expression and knew that he didn't understand this profession, so he explained: "Uncle Chen, this profession of mourner means helping others to mourn. We don't have this profession here, but it has existed in Guangdong Province for a hundred years."

"Helping others cry at funerals?" Chen Yonggui was really surprised to hear this. He never thought that there was such a profession in the world.

Jiang Feng nodded and said, "Yes, she helps people to cry at funerals. My client's mother is quite famous there, and many people ask her to help them to cry at funerals."

After being shocked, Chen Yonggui began to hesitate. The man's mother could come up with more than one million yuan at a time to help her son get married. For an ordinary family like theirs, this family background was indeed extremely strong. If his daughter married into the family, she would be marrying up.

But now, after hearing about the occupations of the man's parents, Chen Yonggui couldn't help but frown. This occupation was indeed unlucky!

As a rural person, Chen Yonggui might not be very superstitious, but he would still have some taboos about this kind of thing.

Looking at Chen Yonggui who was in a dilemma, Jiang Feng said, "Uncle Chen, there's really no need to worry too much about this kind of thing. Could it be that such ethereal things as gods and ghosts are more terrifying than being poor?"

Chen Yonggui, who was afraid of being poor, nodded with deep feeling and said, "Mr. Jiang, you are right. Is there anything more terrible than being poor? A job that can make money legally is a good job."

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "That's the truth. If you are afraid of being discriminated against, the couple doesn't have to stay in the man's hometown after marriage. With the one million given by the man's parents, it won't be difficult to settle down in second- and third-tier cities across the country.

In this way, the couple would at most go back to the man's hometown during the holidays, and the man's parents' occupations would naturally have little impact on the couple.

Even bringing the man to our Guangxi Province to settle down is not impossible, as long as the two of them really like each other, this can be discussed."

Chen Yonggui's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his mind suddenly became clear. He said with a little excitement: "As long as you can settle down in our Guangxi Province, I will definitely do my best to facilitate this marriage."

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Uncle Chen, I'm glad you have no objection. However, now is an era of freedom of marriage. Parents can no longer arrange marriages like before. So I have to trouble Uncle Chen to call your eldest daughter to discuss this matter and explain the situation of the man's family to her.

If your eldest daughter agrees to a blind date, then we can proceed to the next step. Uncle Chen, do you think this is okay?"

Chen Yonggui nodded and said, "Mr. Jiang, you are very thoughtful. Please wait for a moment. I will call my eldest daughter to tell her about this situation."

"Well, I'll go to the front and use the restroom. Uncle Chen, please talk to your daughter and family and call me."

"OK."

After watching Jiang Feng walk away, Chen Yonggui took out his cell phone and called his eldest daughter Chen Fengmei.

As soon as the call was connected, the eldest daughter's voice came: "Dad, at this time, you should be walking in the Yongjiang River again, right?"

"Yes, I was taking a walk along the Yongjiang River."

The father and daughter chatted for a while before Chen Yonggui said, "Fengmei, Dad called you today because he has something to discuss with you."

Chen Fengmei asked, "Dad, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Chen Yonggui said, "It's about your lifelong event. Just now, a matchmaker named Jiang from the Happy Marriage Agency came to me and said he wanted to introduce you to a date. I think the man's conditions are really good, so I called to ask for your opinion."

This was obviously beyond Chen Fengmei's expectations. She was surprised and said, "Dad, you are too impatient. I'm only 23 years old, and you want to arrange a blind date for me?"

Chen Yonggui said, "I know you are still young. I originally planned to let you find someone on your own, but you just happened to meet someone with good conditions!"

Chen Fengmei didn't refuse right away. From her father's tone, she knew the man's conditions were pretty good, so she asked, "Dad, what conditions did the man have that made you so satisfied?"

Chen Yonggui said, "The man is from Henan Province, 25 years old this year, 1.75 meters tall, not bad looking, with the same education as you, and a similar salary as you. Overall, he is a good match for you."

Hearing this, Chen Fengmei knew that her father must have something else to say.

Because based on her understanding of her father, the man lives two provinces away from her. If the man's conditions were just like this, her father would definitely not agree to her marrying him, let alone praise him for his good conditions.

So, if she guessed correctly, the man's family should be good.

Sure enough, her father briefly introduced the man's situation, then changed the subject and said, "Although the man is also from a rural background, his family background is better than many city people. His parents are engaged in some special professions and have made a lot of money over the years.

I heard from the matchmaker Jiang that if the man gets married, his mother will give him one million in cash to buy him a house and a car, and the betrothal money will also be paid by his mother. For a family like ours, the man’s family is considered to be very wealthy! ”

Chen Fengmei was shocked when she heard this. She guessed that the man's family must be well off, but she didn't expect that his family could come up with more than one million yuan in cash.

Chen Fengmei is also self-aware. Her figure and appearance are just above average. If the man is just from a well-off family, she thinks she is worthy of him.

But the man's family financial situation is obviously above the well-off level, and his conditions in all aspects are not worse than hers. Chen Fengmei has no confidence that the man will be attracted to her.

Thinking of this, Chen Fengmei sighed and said, "Dad, how can she look down on me when she has such a good family? You'd better not waste your efforts!"

Chen Yonggui said: "That's not necessarily true, because his mother is engaged in a special profession, and this profession is discriminated against by many people."

Chen Fengmei frowned, and some illegal profession with a bad reputation flashed through her mind, but she immediately shook that thought off and asked, "What is his mother's job?"

Chen Yonggui said: "I heard from matchmaker Jiang that he is a professional mourner."

Chen Fengmei was stunned when she heard this: "Professional mourner? Is there such a profession in this world?"

Chen Yonggui said with some emotion: "This is indeed a very rare profession. If it weren't for that matchmaker Jiang who mentioned it to me, I wouldn't have known that there is such a profession in the world, specializing in mourning for others. It's incredible."

Chen Fengmei immediately imagined the following scene: a middle-aged woman in mourning clothes, crying heartbreakingly in front of a stranger's mourning hall...

When she thought that this middle-aged woman was her mother-in-law, Chen Fengmei couldn't help but say, "Dad, this profession is too... I won't say whether it's unlucky or not, we young people don't believe in it anyway.

But you just said that this profession is discriminated against by many people. I guess his mother is also discriminated against there. If I marry him, I'm afraid people will point fingers at me behind my back, and my life will be meaningless!"

Chen Yonggui said: "You don't have to worry about this. Matchmaker Jiang said that as long as you two are attracted to each other, he can tell the man to come to our Guangxi Province to settle down.

That way, you can just take time to go back with your husband during the holidays, and as long as you don’t expose yourself, no one will know that your husband’s family does this kind of work.”

Chen Fengmei's heart moved when she heard this. If this was the case, then it really had no impact on her. She couldn't help but ask, "Dad, are you sure that she is willing to leave her hometown and settle down in our Guangxi Province?"

Chen Yonggui said, "Let's put forward this condition. If the man agrees, then we can talk about it. If he doesn't agree, then forget it. What do you think?"

"Well, if that's the case, then I have no problem with that."

"Okay, I'll talk to that matchmaker Jiang right away and call you if there's anything."

"OK."

…

While Chen Yonggui was talking to his eldest daughter on the phone, Jiang Feng also called Yuan's mother.

After the call was connected and they exchanged greetings, Jiang Feng got straight to the point and said, "Auntie, I have already found a suitable partner for your son!"

Yuan's mother, who had just returned home, was delighted when she heard this. This was really fast, and she quickly asked, "Master Jiang, could you please tell me about the woman's situation?"

Jiang Feng responded and briefly introduced: "The woman is from our Guangxi Province, 23 years old this year, 1.62 meters tall, with an above average figure and appearance, and the same education as your son. She is currently working in Guilin and her salary is about the same as your son.

She also came from a rural background. Her father was a security guard in the provincial capital, and her mother took care of the orchard and raised chickens and ducks at home. She has four siblings, and she is the eldest. Her two younger brothers are currently in college, and her youngest sister is in high school.

That’s all about her and her family.”

Yuan's mother was also from the countryside, with two sons and a daughter. She was quite satisfied with the fact that the girl had four siblings. Girls from such families were not spoiled and could endure hardships, and were not a problem for all kinds of housework. This was exactly the kind of daughter-in-law she wanted.

Therefore, Yuan's mother nodded repeatedly and said, "Master Jiang, the girl you found is very good. I wonder if you have mentioned my profession to her and her family?"

Jiang Feng said: "I told her father about your profession, Auntie. Her father said he was willing to accept it, but there was one condition."

Yuan's mother asked, "What are the conditions?"

Jiang Feng said: "Her father hopes that your son can come to our Guangxi Province to buy a house and settle down. It doesn't matter which city, as long as it is in Guangxi Province."

Upon hearing this, Yuan's mother responded readily: "Sure, that's no problem at all."

There was a reason why she was so straightforward. Her family was ostracized in her hometown and they had almost no good neighbors. She had planned long ago that after she earned enough money and no longer worked in this profession, she would leave her hometown and move to another place to live.

Therefore, even if the woman did not make this request, she would not let her son buy a house in her hometown. Instead, she would choose to move to other cities, the farther away from her hometown, the better. In this way, no one would know her family, and they would be able to live a normal life without being discriminated against.

Guangxi Province is far enough away from her hometown to fit her plan perfectly.

The eldest son will settle here first, and then the second son and daughter will try to settle here as well. Then they can live in the same city.

Hearing that Yuan's mother readily agreed, Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Aunt, if there is no problem with you, then I will arrange for your two families to meet and talk. Considering that your two families are far away from each other, we will try to settle the marriage in one go. When are you free, Aunt?"

Mother Yuan said, "I haven't taken any work these past two days. I can accommodate the woman's schedule. As long as you tell me in advance, I can make time."

Jiang Feng said, "Okay, I understand. I'll discuss the specific meeting time with the girl later. I'll call you and tell you when the time is set."

"no problem."

"Well, that's it for now, we'll talk about it later."

"OK."

…

Half an hour later.

Chen Yonggui said to Jiang Feng, "Matchmaker Jiang, I have already communicated with my eldest daughter. As long as the man is willing to settle down in our Guangxi Province, then this marriage can be discussed."

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "That's absolutely no problem. I've just called the boy's mother and mentioned this. His mother agrees with your request. You have the final say on which city to settle down in."

Chen Yonggui truly felt the sincerity of the man's family. It was hard to find such a good-natured relative. He had no complaints and said readily, "Since the man's family agrees to this condition, then matchmaker Jiang, you can arrange for our two families to meet."

Jiang Feng nodded and said, "Okay, Uncle Chen, when do you think it would be convenient for us to meet? The man can accommodate your schedule."

Chen Yonggui thought for a moment and said, "Then let's do it this Saturday!"

Jiang Feng said: "Okay, then where is the meeting place?"

Chen Yonggui said: "Let's set the meeting place in this city!"

Jiang Feng said: "That's settled then. I'll tell the man later."

"Well, I'll have to trouble Matchmaker Jiang."

"Uncle Chen, you're welcome!"

After that, the two sides chatted for a while before Jiang Feng said goodbye and left.

After watching Jiang Feng leave, Chen Yonggui, in a good mood, called his eldest daughter and his wife respectively to tell them the time and place of the meeting.

Not only Chen Yonggui was happy, but also his wife was happy, and his eldest daughter, as the person involved, was also very excited and expectant.

After all, compared with the Chen family, the man's family background is really as good as it can be. As long as they get married, they will have one million to buy a house and a car, and there is also a betrothal gift, which has not been discussed in detail but will definitely not be too small.

When encountering such a good thing, it is hard for the Chen family not to be happy.
