Chen Yunyun opened the door wide and invited the person inside to sit down at the wooden table under the eaves.
"Oh, you even have two plum blossom trees at home." Shen Juhua looked around Chen Yunyun's house.
The gaze moves from the small vegetable garden in the yard to the dilapidated door of the woodshed.
She secretly shook her head. If it weren't for Chen Yan's good looks, strength, and efficiency, with their family's financial situation, they probably wouldn't be able to afford a wife.
Chen Yunyun brought over a cup of hot water. "You drink this first. He should be off work soon."
The matchmaker nodded, and after looking at Chen Yunyun's home, her gaze fell on Chen Yunyun again.
"Comrade Xiao Chen, it's not that I'm saying anything, but it's best for a woman to have a man to rely on, isn't it?"
“Look at you, raising three kids all by yourself, how can you earn enough work points to feed four or five mouths?”
"Wouldn't it be great if you had a man at home who could earn ten work points a day by working in the fields?"
The matchmaker's implication was that she wanted Chen Yunyun to find someone else to marry.
No woman raises her child alone; she still has to get married.
Given Chen Yunyun's circumstances, and the fact that she has three children, it might be difficult for her to get married...
"Comrade Xiao Chen, you're just too foolish. What's the point of getting a divorce and raising three kids? To put it bluntly, they're all just burdens."
"How will you ever get married if you're taking them with you?"
The matchmaker's mouth is like a machine gun, firing off a long string of words.
Chen Yunyun was completely bewildered.
Wasn't this supposed to be a marriage proposal for Rong Yan? Why is she being dragged into this again?
Should she find another man to marry?
Are you kidding me?
She finally achieved her ultimate life dream: if poor, she would remain unmarried and childless; if successful, she would leave her father and keep her son.
She got over two thousand yuan from Xu Zhijun, and she also has a house, land, and a child. She's already at the pinnacle of her life.
The matchmaker was still egging her on, saying, "It's very difficult for a woman to live without a man to rely on."
"You're young and impulsive now, but you'll definitely regret it when things get tough later."
"Also, what exactly is going on between you and Xu Zhijun? Shouldn't the baby be given to him?"
"You're losing out big time by dumping everything on me. How are you going to raise so many kids in the future?"
Chen Yunyun smiled and said, "Auntie, thank you for your concern, but I really have no plans to remarry."
Chen Yunyun already had a set of excuses to shut up these kinds of people: "The country is doing so well now, and all the cadres are working so hard."
"As long as I follow the country's leadership, I believe that life will definitely get better and better."
"The Chairman said that women hold up half the sky, so you don't need to worry about me."
Every sentence was about the Chairman, cadres, and the country; how could Shen Juhua possibly respond to that?
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
Chen Yunyun smiled mischievously.
The awkward atmosphere was broken by Rong Yan pushing open the door.
When Chen Yunyun heard the matchmaker beside her breathe a sigh of relief, she almost burst out laughing.
Rong Yan noticed that there were other people in the room, and his expression turned cold.
He was always cold and aloof to outsiders, and when he didn't speak, he seemed to exude an invisible pressure that made people feel suffocated.
The matchmaker's breath, which had just been relieved, rose again.
She forced herself to stand up. "Comrade Chen Yan is back from work? You've been busy all morning, you must be exhausted."
Rong Yan nodded almost imperceptibly as a response, which was only because Chen Yunyun was present.
"What's up?"
His gaze swept over the two women, lingering longer on Chen Yunyun's face.
The matchmaker then realized her real purpose: "It's like this, Comrade Chen Yan, do you have any plans to get married?"
She chuckled dryly twice. "Look at that guy from your team, he's the same age as you, and his son was already a month old last month."
"Don't you want to get married and have children?"
Rong Yan lowered his eyes, his handsome face appearing even colder and harder. "No need."
This was the first time in her career that she had been rejected so bluntly.
These two siblings are both incredibly difficult to deal with.
The matchmaker couldn't help but complain, "How can you be just like your sister? I just advised her to get married, and she said she didn't need to."
"Forget about your sister. She's raising three kids alone, so it's hard for her to get married. She can take her time finding someone else."
"But you can't delay. A good woman doesn't have to worry about getting married. You'll regret it later."
Before anyone knew it, Rong Yan's face had turned so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.
The matchmaker was talking non-stop when she looked up and saw Rong Yan's cold gaze, which felt like a knife wrapped around her.
Why did she get the feeling that Chen Yan wanted to hit someone?
Perhaps this is what they mean by "the look in someone's eyes when they want to kill them cannot be hidden"?
The matchmaker shook off the goosebumps on her body, sensing that the situation was not good. She put down her bowl of water and said, "Well, I have some things to take care of at home, so I'll be going now."
"Hey, why don't you stay home for dinner?"
They walked for several hours along mountain paths from Team Seven; it wouldn't be right to let them go back hungry.
To everyone's surprise, the matchmaker didn't even turn her head, and quickly slipped away, saying, "I'm not eating, I'm not hungry!"
Chen Yunyun couldn't help but laugh as she watched the matchmaker's retreating figure.
She never experienced being pressured to get married in the 21st century, but she can't escape it here.
"You think it's funny?" The man's indifferent voice drifted down from above.
Before she knew it, Rong Yan was standing very close to her.
"Hey, pressuring someone to get married, isn't that funny?" Chen Yunyun's laughter hadn't subsided yet.
After a whole winter of rest, her cheeks became fair and tender, with a faint blush on them, making them look rather alluring.
Rong Yan couldn't resist moving closer. The two looked into each other's eyes, their breaths audible.
"Want to get married?"
His breath was cool and refreshing, just like his body temperature, and it smelled quite nice.
Chen Yunyun felt a little dizzy; she realized she seemed to be prone to fainting at the sight of men…
"You want to kick me out?"
Rong Yan asked three questions in a row, each one colder than the last.
Chen Yunyun came to her senses and said, "No, she came to me herself, I didn't invite her."
"If there's a next time, kick him out." The man's tone left no room for refusal.
"Oh." After a pause, Chen Yunyun looked up, a rare look of grievance on her face. "But this is my home. They kicked me out, and now there's no one to cook..."
The two were very close, and Chen Yunyun saw with her own eyes that a hint of helpless smile seemed to flash in Rong Yan's dark eyes.
She blinked, realizing that she must have misunderstood.
Rong Yan meant that next time, they should kick the matchmaker out.
Chen Yunyun unconsciously bit her lip and mumbled an "Mmm".
Rong Yan's favorability +10
Upon hearing the system's notification in her mind, Chen Yunyun's eyes lit up.
A look of joy returned to his small face, and he came alive again.
"I'll cook first, you wash your hands!"
She went to the kitchen happily, checking her favorability rating as she went.
Behind her, Rong Yan watched the direction she walked, his expression gentle, yet with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
When will she realize that he already knew her secret all along...?
The dragon clan is naturally aloof, and gaining their favor is not so easy.
Not long after he started pursuing Chen Yunyun, he repeatedly made exceptions for her.
