Chapter 180 I'm Really Not a Matchmaker
Mrs. Sun was amused by Chen Cui'e's words, "Chen Cui'e, you want to live another 20 years, won't you become an old witch? You really dare to think so."
Chen Cui'e didn't think there was anything wrong with her thinking this way. She carefully calculated for Grandma Sun and said, "Grandma Sun, look, I'm not even fifty this year. Even if I live another twenty years, I'll only be seventy. What's there to be afraid of? There are still many people in the city who live to their eighties or nineties. They dare to live very long."
After hearing this, Granny Sun sighed, "You are a city dweller, and they have food supplies. But we are from the countryside, and we are too old to work and earn work points. If we live longer, won't we be a burden to our children? This situation is different."
"What's the difference? We're both human, but I don't believe in fate. I worked so hard to raise these kids, so what's wrong with letting them take care of me when I'm old? But your situation is different. You have to live longer. After all, you're Banxia's only relative. As for those cousins, don't count on them."
Mother Sun was also somewhat tempted. She thought that what Chen Cui'e said made sense. As long as she was still around, Banxia would not be alone and helpless even if she got married. However, the most important thing now was to find a good family for Banxia first. Thinking of this, she looked at Chen Cui'e.
"Cui'e, you are the only one I interact with the most in this village, and I think you know a lot of people. Could you please keep an eye on Banxia? I am an old woman and I really can't do anything about it. Banxia is getting older and older, and she will be delayed."
"Ah, me?" Chen Cui'e pointed at herself, and then said with some embarrassment: "Mrs. Sun, it's not that I'm refusing, but I don't have anyone suitable to introduce to Banxia..."
Seeing Grandma Sun showing a disappointed look because of her words, Chen Cui'e felt a little sorry for her. She changed the subject and said, "But you can tell me your family's requirements first, and I'll pay attention to it."
When Grandma Sun heard this, her expression straightened up, she opened her mouth and called out to the back of the house, "Banxia, come out, Grandma has something to ask you."
After a while, a pretty girl came out from behind the house. She smiled at Chen Cui'e first, then looked at Grandma Sun, "Grandma, what do you want to ask me for?"
Granny Sun touched her granddaughter's hair lovingly and said softly, "Grandma asked Aunt Chen to find a partner for you. Please tell us what you want. I want to spend my whole life with you."
When Sun Banxia heard about this, she subconsciously frowned and said, "Grandma, I won't get married. I will stay at home with you."
Grandma Sun patted her granddaughter with a fierce face and said, "Nonsense, how can a girl not get married when she grows up? It's unreasonable. Don't be shy. Talk to your Aunt Chen. While grandma is still here, I can make some plans for you."
"Grandma, I don't like you saying this. You will always be with me." Sun Banxia's eyes were red and she lowered her head uncomfortably.
Seeing this, Chen Cui'e quickly took Sun Banxia's hand and comforted her, "Banxia, my dear girl, your grandma is also worried about your future. Listen to what I say. If you want to make your grandma happy, you should find a good partner to marry. With your grandma's physique, she can still take care of your children!"
Sun Banxia pursed her lips after hearing what Chen Cui'e said, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Aunt Chen, I don't have any other requests, except that I want to bring my grandma with me after marriage. Anyway, I won't leave my grandma alone at home."
"You girl, what nonsense are you talking about? Cui'e, don't listen to her. How can you bring your grandma with you?" Mrs. Sun was anxious. This girl's family conditions were not good to begin with. If she brought this old thing with her, she would never be able to get married.
Sun Banxia was unwilling, "Grandma, I'm serious, otherwise I won't get married."
"You little girl, you just won't listen to me, are you going to piss me off to death..."
"grandmother……"
Seeing that the two of them were still arguing, Chen Cui'e quickly tried to smooth things over, "Hey, Grandma Sun, don't say anything about Banxia. The child loves you. He is a filial child. You should be happy!"
"I would rather she was an unfilial woman and just lived her own life without bothering about an old man like me." Mrs. Sun smiled bitterly.
"Oh, don't say that. Banxia is a good child. Don't hurt her feelings." Then she looked at Sun Banxia and said, "Banxia, your grandmother is doing this for your own good. Don't be angry with her. Let me find you a job based on these conditions. We'll take our time."
"Cui'e, this won't do. How can you find a partner this way?"
"Mrs. Sun, just don't worry about it for now. Just wait and see. You also need to make sure the child is at ease."
Granny Sun opened her mouth but said nothing in the end. She just stretched out her hand and handed the previously wrapped medicine to Chen Cui'e, "This is the dosage for one dose of medicine, and there is also a prescription. You can take it back and follow the prescription."
Chen Cui'e took the things and smiled, "Okay, then I'll go back first, Banxia, take good care of your grandma!"
Sun Banxia nodded, "Aunt Chen, I know."
The next day, Chen Cui'e took the medicine and prescription, as well as the little rooster she exchanged from her neighbor, and went to the city. Fearing that she would be criticized if she went directly to her daughter-in-law, she went to the state-owned restaurant according to the work address given by her youngest daughter.
Jiang Xinbai just glanced at the door and saw a pair of feet standing in front of her. She looked up and said in surprise: "Mom, why are you here? No, you gave me this chicken? Oh, you can go directly home, didn't I give you the key?"
Chen Cui'e waved her hand, "It's not for you. Are you free now? I want to tell you something."
Jiang Xinbai went in and talked to Sun Chaoying for a few words before pulling Chen Cui'e out, "Come on, Mom, I'll take you home first."
As she walked, Chen Cui'e turned back to look in the direction of the hotel and said hesitantly, "Aren't you going to work? You don't have to go home. I'll just say a few words and leave."
Jiang Xinbai glanced at the little rooster in her hand and said helplessly, "Mom, what's the matter with you carrying a rooster around the street? Let's go to my house first. I have agreed with my colleague that she will help me out. There aren't many people here now."
In three or five minutes, the two arrived home. Chen Cui'e tied the rooster under the grape trellis in the yard, and then explained the reason for the incident.
"So this is for Third Brother and the others? Then why don't you just go find them directly? Why are you going around in circles?" Jiang Xinbai was a little puzzled.
"Well, I can just go to their house and find out. What a hassle! Besides, no one is home and I don't know the way very well. Forget it, you are more convenient. You can just take it over after get off work."
In fact, Chen Cui'e didn't really want to face her in-laws and always felt uncomfortable facing them.
Jiang Xinbai nodded, "Okay, then you can leave it at home. I'll bring it to my third brother and his wife after get off work."
"Well, I'll leave it with you. But there's one more thing. Banxia from Grandma Sun's family is also looking for a partner..."
Before Chen Cui'e could finish her words, she was interrupted by Jiang Xinbai. She held her forehead and smiled bitterly, "Mom, why are you looking for this kind of thing for me again? I'm really not a matchmaker."
