Chapter 8: First Blind Date



The next day at noon.

Tanjiang Hotel.

In the Fugui Hall box, the Li family and the Zhang family met under the arrangement of the matchmaker Jiang Feng.

The people who came from the Li family were Li Mingcheng and his wife and the male protagonist Li Xingwen, and the people who came from the Zhang family were Zhang Jinsong and his wife and the female protagonist Zhang Qiulan. Both sides had their parents present, which shows that both parties attached great importance to this blind date.

If it is not taken very seriously, it is rare for both parents of the girl to be present. Usually, the mother and one or two eloquent relatives will show up, while the father rarely shows up.

After all, according to the blind date rules of Bailiang County, all expenses of both parties during the blind date are borne by the man. When the blind date is over, the man has to give a red envelope to the woman. And this red envelope is not only given to the blind date heroine, but to everyone on the woman's side including the matchmaker.

Go on a blind date with your daughter and then take the red envelope from the boy’s parents?

This kind of thing may be easier for women to accept, but it would indeed feel awkward for a grown man.

Add to that the natural enemy nature of "father-in-law" and "son-in-law"...

Therefore, unless necessary, fathers rarely accompany their daughters to blind dates.

In the Fugui Hall box, the two families started chatting spontaneously after being introduced by Jiang Feng. They didn't need Jiang Feng as a matchmaker to liven up the atmosphere. This was the terrifying thing about a marriage matching value as high as 86 points.

It matches not only the hero and heroine themselves, but also the families behind them.

Li Mingcheng and his wife raise pigs, and Zhang Jinsong and his wife sell feed. Both parties make a living in the same industrial chain, so naturally they have endless topics to talk about.

As for Li Xingwen and Zhang Qiulan, it goes without saying. They fell in love at first sight just by looking at a photo. Now that they have officially met, they are both bewitched by each other. Even if the other farts, the other will say it smells good. Are they still worried about having no topics to talk about?

Therefore, Jiang Feng, the matchmaker, had nothing to do except introducing the two parties at the beginning. He just had to enjoy the food throughout the whole process.

The meal lasted almost three hours.

Before the party ended, Li Mingcheng and his wife began to give red envelopes to the woman and the matchmaker according to local customs.

The amount of the red envelope is very particular. As the heroine of the blind date, she naturally receives the largest amount of red envelope, while others receive red envelopes of different amounts according to the closeness of their relationship.

Also, if the man is not satisfied with the woman, the amount of the red envelope given will be extremely low. Generally, the heroine of a blind date can receive a red envelope of one or two hundred yuan, while others receive red envelopes of fifty to one hundred yuan.

If the man is satisfied with the woman, the amount of the red envelope will be completely different. The heroine of the blind date can generally get a red envelope of 800 to 1,000 yuan, and others can also get a red envelope of at least 200 yuan.

All of this money is given for free, no matter whether the woman is willing to develop the relationship further or not, the money can never be returned. It is precisely because of this custom in Bailiang County that some women with unscrupulous intentions specialize in making money from blind dates.

After all, if a woman who is slightly pretty goes on two blind dates a day, she can not only eat and drink for free, but also earn at least one or two thousand yuan. How many people can compare with this income?

Mr. and Mrs. Li Mingcheng were extremely satisfied with their son's blind date. Besides, they were not short of money. To show their attitude, they gave Zhang Qiulan a red envelope of 1,800 yuan, and gave Zhang Jinsong and his wife and Jiang Feng, the matchmaker, a red envelope of 1,000 yuan.

It’s not that Li Mingcheng and his wife were reluctant to give more, but the amount of the red envelope should not be too large. If they gave a red envelope of tens of thousands of yuan on the first blind date, it would be a bit like throwing money at someone.

Although many people in this world are willing to be showered with money, there are also many people who are not happy about it, especially when both parties are well matched. Who the hell would be willing to be inferior?

Therefore, the amount of the red envelope given by Li Mingcheng and his wife was more appropriate, which not only showed their satisfaction with the woman, but also did not make the woman feel like she was being lavished with money.

After leaving the Tanjiang Hotel, Zhang Jinsong and his family went back to do business, while Jiang Feng went back with the Li family in their car. Because Li Mingcheng and his son, as well as Jiang Feng, had all drunk, it was Aunt Li who drove.

"Uncle Li and Aunt Li, are you satisfied with the partner I found for Brother Wen?" Jiang Feng, who was sitting in the back row with Li Mingcheng, asked with a smile.

Li Mingcheng nodded repeatedly and said with emotion: "Master Jiang, your vision is really impeccable. It is an honor for my kid to have you help him make connections."

Aunt Li also sighed, "Yes, this girl is really good, and her parents are also very easy to get along with. If I can become their in-laws, I will fully support it."

Li Xingwen turned around and looked at Jiang Feng, and said excitedly: "Master Jiang, what you said before is indeed correct. Qiulan and I are really a perfect match. I have a strong feeling in my heart that she is the most suitable person to accompany me for the rest of my life."

Jiang Feng laughed and said, "As long as you are satisfied."

Li Mingcheng said: "Master Jiang, I'll have to trouble you to find out the Zhang family's attitude later."

This is the obligation of a matchmaker. Jiang Feng immediately responded: "Uncle Li, you're welcome. This is my job. I'll call Uncle Zhang when I get back. In my opinion, there should be no problem. After all, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang's attitudes are basically clear. If they are not satisfied with Brother Wen, I'm afraid they would have found an excuse to go back to do business long ago!"

Li Mingcheng smiled and nodded: "That's indeed the truth. Master Jiang, you are very insightful."

On the other side, Zhang Jinsong and his family returned to the store, and Zhang Zhendong couldn't wait to ask, "Mom and Dad, how was my blind date this time? Is the other person really as good as Jiang Feng said?"

Zhang Jinsong glanced at his daughter and said, "From today's contact, it's indeed not bad. The other party is no different from what Xiaofeng said. We need more contact to know the specific situation."

Zhang's mother also followed suit with a few words of praise, and was obviously quite satisfied with today's blind date.

Zhang Zhendong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately went to find the person in charge and asked, "Sister, my parents think that the other party is good, what about you? What do you think of the other party?"

Although Zhang Qiulan was interested in the other party, she still said modestly: "It seems okay at the moment. The specific situation is just like what Dad said. We need to get to know more about it. After all, as the old saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles tests a person's strength, and time reveals a person's true character!"

Zhang Zhendong knew what was going on when he heard this. Didn't he know his sister's personality? Since she said it was okay, it meant she was very satisfied. It seemed that his sister was not far from being single...

Qingshan Town.

Zhujia Village.

A couple is arguing.

The woman angrily scolded: "Zhu Liang, you only know how to be mean to your wife at home. What kind of man are you? If you have the guts, why don't you go out and be mean to her? You have no guts, and you're getting excited after I say a few words to you!"

Looking at his aggressive wife Zhou Limei, Zhu Liang's face looked extremely ugly. He just accidentally added a little bit of salt when cooking, but his wife who disliked him took the opportunity to scold him.

Moreover, this is not the first time. Zhu Liang now deeply understands one thing: when your partner dislikes you, it is your fault if you step forward with your left foot first when entering the door, and there is no need for a reason to scold you.

Zhu Liang really couldn't understand why Zhou Limei married him in the first place if she didn't like him so much? The most hateful thing was that she pretended to be gentle and considerate, deceiving him all the way until her son was born, when her true nature gradually revealed itself. This deliberate deception was extremely abominable.

Zhu Liang has been through a lot in the past two years, and his patience has been pushed to its limit step by step!

Zhou Limei became more and more excited as she cursed, and she continued to curse without thinking: "Zhu Liang, you are such a loser. Marrying you is the thing I regret most in my life!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhu Liang became instantly furious.

Then, he took several deep breaths before he successfully suppressed his anger.

Thinking of what Master Jiang said to him when he commented on his marriage in the car the day before yesterday, Zhu Liang said calmly: "Zhou Limei, let's get a divorce!"

Zhou Limei was stunned when she heard this, then sneered: "Okay, then divorce, whoever doesn't divorce is a dog."
