The Chen family was quite satisfied with the girl that Sheng Xiping and Wang Jianshe introduced to them.
Xu Xiuxiang was so happy that she insisted that Chen Weimin go to the store and buy some canned food to add to the dishes, but Sheng Xiping stopped her.
“Auntie, there’s no rush. If Weiguo and that girl really get together, it’s not too late for you to hold a thank-you banquet for the matchmaker then.”
So, after much persuasion, Chen Shiliang managed to get Xu Xiuxiang to sit down and eat, and then he pulled a few more young people into drinking a few more cups.
Before long, everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, and Xu Xiuxiang quickly sent Chen Weiguo to the venue to inquire.
Sheng Xiping and the others didn't leave either; they stayed at the Chen family's house to listen to the news.
After a while, Chen Weiguo returned and said that it was a coincidence, as the leaders of the farm were going to the bureau to report on their work the next day.
When Wang Jiachuan heard that Chen Weiguo was going to meet a potential partner, he immediately agreed and took Chen's family down with him.
"Uncle, Aunt, since you've decided to go to Songjiang River tomorrow, let's not linger here any longer and head home."
"I still have wild boar at home that I haven't skinned or deboned, so I'll just eat and drink at your place."
It was getting late, so Sheng Xiping and the others got up to say goodbye.
Their mission is complete. The rest depends on whether Chen Weiguo and Zhao Juan are destined to be together. No one can help them with this, so staying is pointless. They should just go home.
The Chen couple tried to persuade them to stay, but to no avail. In the end, they saw the children off at the gate and watched them leave before going home.
Upon re-entering the house, Xu Xiuxiang immediately began rummaging through drawers and cabinets, eventually finding the new outfit Chen Weiguo had made for last year's Chinese New Year.
If you're going to meet someone, you definitely need to dress neatly and cleanly so that no one will laugh at you.
Afterwards, Xu Xiuxiang discussed with her husband how much money they had and what they could buy for the woman.
If the truth is discovered, a gift will need to be prepared for the meeting, and so on.
This guy is keeping Xu Xiuxiang so busy, he's practically digging out all his savings.
Meanwhile, Sheng Xiping and the others went home.
"What? Did you go to act as a matchmaker for Wei Guo?" As soon as Sheng Xiping entered the house, Zhang Shuzhen rolled her eyes at him and asked.
"Yeah, when I heard that Jianshe's sister-in-law didn't want anything, I thought I'd introduce her to Wei Guo. I think the two of them are a good match."
When Sheng Xiping saw his mother's attitude, and then thought about it again, he realized that he had abandoned his work at home and gone out to act as a matchmaker, so it was no wonder that his mother was giving him a cold shoulder.
"You, you, you seem mature and steady in handling things, but you're actually still a bit of a simpleton."
In order to introduce Li Xue's cousin to Wei Guo, you ruined Wei Guo and Liu Hongxia's relationship?
"Wouldn't this be terrible if word got out? If the Liu family found out, they'd definitely be cursing you."
Zhang Shuzhen couldn't help but glare at her son again.
The conflict between the Chen and Liu families was so fierce that it had spread throughout the forest farm. Even though Zhang Shuzhen didn't go out, she still heard what was going on from others.
After thinking it over, Zhang Shuzhen realized there was nothing she didn't understand.
It must have been his son who went to the Chen family and said something, and then Chen Weiguo and Liu Hongxia's relationship fell through, causing this whole mess.
Once Chen Weiguo and Wang Jianshe's sister-in-law get together, everyone will know what's going on. When the Liu family finds out, they'll be furious.
"Pshaw, what's the Liu family compared to us? Do you think I'm afraid of them?"
Serves him right! Who told Liu Daming to always try to make things difficult for Qinglan?
As a teacher at Qianchuan Primary and Secondary School, Zhou Qinglan was no exception to Liu Daming's requests for advice.
Liu Daming had approached Zhou Qinglan three times in total. The first two times, Zhou Qinglan accurately pronounced the words and explained their meanings.
Liu Daming realized he couldn't stump Zhou Qinglan, so he went back and spent many days flipping through the dictionary, finally finding a particularly complicated character.
This time, Zhou Qinglan didn't recognize it and mispronounced the word.
Liu Daming was quite incompetent, so he went around telling people that the new substitute teacher at the school was not good enough.
If someone like that is teaching students, wouldn't that just be wasting their time?
For this reason alone, Sheng Xiping has to make things difficult for Liu Daming.
Moreover, their family was making unreasonable demands on Chen Weiguo, and Sheng Xiping and others had long been disgusted by their harsh conditions.
If the marriage proposal fell through, so be it. If Chen Weiguo and Liu Hongxia's relationship was truly unbreakable, it wouldn't have fallen through just because they said something casually.
Therefore, Sheng Xiping felt no guilt at all. It was good that the whole thing fell apart, so that Chen Weiguo could escape his misery and avoid suffering the same fate as in his previous life.
"I don't know what to say about you anymore," Zhang Shuzhen sighed helplessly.
"Alright, pack up and go back to your room to sleep. You've been busy all day, hunting in the mountains and playing matchmaker for someone."
Ultimately, Zhang Shuzhen still felt sorry for her son.
"What about those pork pieces? They haven't been processed yet, have they? I'll take advantage of the fact that the forest farm still has electricity and quickly butcher them."
Sheng Xiping turned his head and looked around the room. Why didn't he see any pigs?
"Do you need to wait for me to come back for that little bit of work? Your dad and the second son have already finished cleaning up."
We'll keep the meat from the basket separately to feed Huahua, and use the rest to cook for ourselves.
"I've saved the pig's trotters and other things, to stew for Qinglan after she gives birth to help with lactation, so don't worry."
Once the pigs are brought home, all that's left is to skin them and remove the bones. Who can't do that?
Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiping thought, "Alright, then there's nothing for me to do. I'd better hurry back to my room and keep my wife company."
He has to lead a team up the mountain the day after tomorrow, and that will take several months. His wife is giving birth, and it's uncertain whether he will be able to get back in time.
In the west room, Zhou Qinglan was still awake, sitting at her desk with her big pregnant belly, writing and drawing as she prepared her lessons.
