After dinner, Xia Weian went to find Shuanzi and told him that Song Qingyun had promised Li Li to go over and help.
The time will be the day after tomorrow.
Shuanzi agreed immediately and promised to tell Li Li the news. After Li Li had made all the arrangements tomorrow, he would go to Xia Weian's house after get off work to inform them.
After the discussion, Xia Weian prepared to go home.
"Third brother, sit down for a while."
Aunt Gen greeted and poured a bowl of sugar water for Xia Weian.
"Aunt Gen, don't be so busy. We are all family." Xia Weian said happily.
Uncle Lao Gen puffed on his pipe and tried to persuade Xia Wei'an to stay.
Xia Weian looked at their expressions and knew that they were busy, so he just sat there without moving.
"Uncle Gen, Aunt Gen, is there anything wrong?" Xia Weian asked.
Uncle Lao Gen sighed heavily.
"Didn't Shuanzi say before that he was going on a blind date? I wanted to ask your wife to come over and see the girl together, but then Shuanzi didn't want to go on a blind date anymore, so the matter was put on hold."
"Some time ago, that family sent a matchmaker over and said that the girl had seen Shuanzi from a distance and was quite satisfied with him."
"We thought, why not discuss it with Shuanzi? If he agrees, we can go for a date. Shuanzi is not young anymore, and we are afraid of delaying his marriage."
"Shuanzi still disagreed. We couldn't persuade him, so we sent someone to tell him there was no rush to get married."
"I don't know how people outside spread the word that Shuanzi and that girl were getting married."
"Every time people in the village meet me, they ask me when Shuanzi will get married. I tell them I'm not planning on getting married and I don't have a partner yet."
"The matchmaker from the Liu family came over again, saying they didn't know who started these rumors. Now the girl is cornered. If she can't marry Shuanzi, she'll have no choice but to jump into the river."
"The matchmaker is begging us to see each other. It's a life at stake."
Uncle Lao Gen sighed heavily again.
"We were forced into a corner by them and had no choice but to agree to meet her in two days. If Shuanzi didn't like her, we'd just drop the matter. They agreed."
"The matchmaker said that the girl is down-to-earth and capable. I also asked someone to go to the village over there and ask. Everyone in the village said that the girls in the Liu family are all capable and good at everything, both at home and outside."
"I'm just protecting my younger brother. I'm afraid she'll be someone who only cares about her parents' home and can't figure things out. That makes me a little angry," said Aunt Gen.
After hearing what his parents said, Shuanzi also sighed.
"I don't even know what that girl is like, and I don't know who is so wicked as to spread such nonsense, making things difficult for both me and that girl."
After listening to what Uncle Laogen, Aunt Gen and Shuanzi said, Xia Weian frowned.
"Do you think this was spread by someone else?"
"Yes, the girl was extremely anxious. Besides, what girl would risk her own reputation by spreading such rumors?" Aunt Gen said.
But Uncle Lao Gen's expression changed the moment Xia Weian finished speaking.
"Third brother, are you saying that this might have been spread by their family themselves?"
Xia Weian nodded.
"After the previous blind date fell through, the girl must have looked at a lot of other men. After comparing them comprehensively, Shuanzi must have had better conditions."
"Uncle Lao Gen has his own skills, so his family lives better than others."
"Shuanzi is now a formal employee in the city. No young man in the surrounding villages can compare with Shuanzi. Besides, our Shuanzi is also good-looking." Xia Weian said.
Uncle Gen, Aunt Gen and Shuanzi's expressions changed.
"Even if the girl has fallen in love with Shuanzi, she wouldn't resort to this trick. When they meet, maybe they really fall in love with each other. Why do this?" Aunt Gen said in a trembling voice.
Xia Weian spoke in a deep voice.
"How can you force us to look at each other without this trick?"
"They simply spread rumors to force Shuanzi to meet the Liu family girl."
"The Liu family girls are indeed capable and good at taking care of things at home and outside, but they are also really indulgent towards their younger brother."
"I heard that the Liu family's parents taught their daughters to remember that their younger brother is their true destiny."
"Whether you are getting married or living in your husband's family, you must not forget the importance of your younger brother. In the future, everyone in the family will have to support him."
"Uncle Lao Gen, Aunt Gen, Shuanzi, let me be frank, it's only natural to lend a hand to our in-laws occasionally."
"But none of us can stand the thought of giving our family's money away to others over the years, so I suggest you don't get involved with the Liu family."
"We don't want to have anything to do with them. Now that girl is making a fuss and insisting that our Shuanzi be held responsible for this matter. People from both villages are gossiping about it." Uncle Lao Gen looked worried.
"We are now being roasted under the fire, so we have no choice but to agree to see each other once."
"It seems they might resort to some trickery that day. If Shuanzi is really being tricked, this will be a big handle."
"If we report this to the vegetable company, Shuanzi will lose his job," Xia Weian said.
He deliberately exaggerated the matter, but his intuition told him that it was not because he was overthinking it, but that the Liu family was very likely to have planned it this way.
Uncle Gen was so anxious that he could hardly hold his pipe, and Aunt Gen's eyes were red.
"That won't do. We've put so much effort into this job, and Shuanzi is doing so well now. What if it affects his future?" Aunt Gen's voice was trembling.
Shuanzi's face turned red with anger.
"Uncle Lao Gen, Auntie, and Shuanzi, you don't have to be too anxious. This is what you do when you visit someone..." Xia Weian whispered a few words.
Uncle Lao Gen's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on Shuanzi's lips.
Aunt Gen slapped her thigh and said, "It has to be you, Third Brother. I know there is nothing you can't solve."
Xia Weian smiled and said, "Just as long as you don't think my idea is bad."
"What's that? This is to protect the interests of our own family."
"If the girl is a good person and her family is also good, we don't mind interacting with her. But if the girl really marries with the intention of supporting her family, we can't be the ones to take advantage of her," said Shuanzi.
Xia Weian nodded, "Husband and wife are supposed to help each other, not one party asking for endless demands from the other."
Only after he had dealt with the matter at Shuanzi's house did Xia Weian return to the courtyard.
The next day, everyone in the family was busy with their own things as usual.
At dusk, Shuanzi arrived at the courtyard, "Third brother, third brother."
"Shuanzi." Xia Weian opened the door.
"Manager Li, let me tell you that he will drive over to pick up my third sister-in-law tomorrow morning," said Shuanzi.
"Okay, then we'll wait for him."
Shuanzi glanced into the yard, making sure no one was around, and lowered his voice to say, "Third brother, can you ask Chengwu and his comrades to help me tomorrow?"
