Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 49, The Lin Family’s Situation
Beijing, Nanluoguxiang, Heizhima Hutong, the Lin family's courtyard in the backyard.

Under the night sky, the sky is dotted with stars, but the faint starlight cannot bring much light, and the yard is still pitch black.

Su Wanzhen sat on a long bench and after a brief greeting, she told Lin Wan's family about Zhao Mancang's information.

"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. Comrade Xiao Zhao just got divorced not long ago. I guess you've all heard of him. He used to live in Courtyard 5 of Yongheng Hutong."

"Is his ex-wife the university student Huang Xiuling?"

Lin Wan's mother Zhang Dongyue exclaimed, her eyes full of curiosity.

There are many street offices throughout the capital, and the street offices are intelligence organizations.

Nanluoguxiang is indeed a bit far from Yongheng Hutong, but not very far.

Everyone who loves gossip knows about the affairs between Zhao Mancang and Huang Xiuling.

Zhang Dongyue had indeed heard about this matter, but Lin Wan had no idea about it.

"Yes, yes, it's him," Su Wanzhen admitted directly:
"Xiao Zhao is an honest and simple person, that's why he was bullied by the Huang family for eight years."

"In the past two weeks, I don't know if it's because of the divorce, but Xiao Zhao has become much more energetic."

"He became a Level 6 breeder last month. His monthly salary is now 61.7 yuan. I'm the one who calculates his salary."

"And a few days ago, our factory leader just rewarded him with a Red Flag bicycle. Let me tell you, this matter has to start from that day."

At this moment, Su Wanzhen did not look like a matchmaker, but rather the god of gossip.

When it comes to talking about these things, there's no end to it.

Who made Aunt Zhang Dongyue also like to talk about these gossips?
Su Wanzhen's approach is actually to cater to the other party's preferences.

Lin Wan's family situation is neither simple nor complicated.

She had an older sister who had been married before, but something happened and she passed away, leaving behind a daughter.

My daughter’s name is Lin Huijun. She is four years old this year and is also a member of the Lin family.

Every time Lin Wan heard about an unsuitable blind date candidate, she would push Lin Huijun out as a shield.

In fact, in Lin Wan's heart, she already regarded Lin Huijun as her own daughter.

Ever since she could remember, she had a very good relationship with her sister. Now that her sister was gone, she put all her thoughts and concerns on Lin Huijun.

In addition to her sister, Lin Wan also has a younger brother and a younger sister.

My younger brother Lin Kai is sixteen years old this year. He is disobedient and very mischievous. He just hangs out outside all day long.

My younger sister Lin Shuxian is well-behaved and sensible, and her academic performance is very good. She is in the second grade of junior high school this year, and will be in the third grade after September.

Lin Wan's father was Lin Guohua, a teacher at Fuxue Hutong Primary School.

So there are a total of six people in the Lin family. Since both Lin Guohua and Lin Wan have income, their family lives a very comfortable life.

The only trouble is the addition of Lin Huijun.

After Su Wanzhen and Zhang Dongyue finished their conversation, Lin Wan had also thought about it a lot.

According to Zhang Dongyue's opinion, it would be fine to meet the man. Whether Lin Wan agreed to the marriage or not depended on her own opinion after meeting him.

"Okay, let's meet up then!"

Hearing that Lin Wan also agreed, Su Wanzhen was immediately overjoyed. This was the first step in a long journey.

As long as you are willing to meet, success is not far away. You know, Lin Wan is very beautiful, has an easy job, and people often introduce her to blind dates.

But they are neither high nor low, why?

The man with good conditions cannot accept Lin Wan's daughter Lin Huijun, who is a burden. Although Lin Huijun can stay in the Lin family, Lin Wan just wants to keep her by her side.

And the most crucial point is that Lin Huijun calls Lin Wan not "second aunt", but "mother".

Because of this, those gay men with good conditions were scared away.

As for those with poor conditions, Lin Wan herself looks down on them.

It’s not that he was afraid of lowering his own living standards, but he was afraid of starving Lin Huijun.

The reason why Lin Wan was willing to meet Zhao Mancang was because he had a high salary, a bicycle, and was honest and simple enough. He was definitely a good man who could manage the family.

Judging from his marriage with Huang Xiuling, it was more Huang Xiuling's fault.

After all, Lin Wan's mother had just said that Huang Xiuling was still a virgin.

They haven't had sex in eight years of marriage. How much willpower does Zhao Mancang have to be able to endure it?
He is capable, has a good personality, and is a good housekeeper. Apart from the fact that the job of breeder is not decent enough and Zhao Mancang is already married, all other advantages are his.

Of course, although Lin Wan doesn’t pay much attention to appearance, she also hopes that Zhao Mancang doesn’t look too ugly.

So let’s talk about it after we meet.

This was the result of Su Wanzhen's discussion with the Lin family yesterday.

After hearing this, Zhao Mancang was overjoyed. Just as Su Wanzhen said, as long as they were willing to meet, the probability of success would be very high.

"You, change into nicer clothes this weekend when you go meet people. First impressions are very important."

As the military strategist, no, the matchmaker, Su Wanzhen has already begun to make image management requirements to Zhao Mancang.

There weren't so many rules for blind dates in the 1950s and 1960s. Just changing into nicer clothes was considered good enough.

"Accountant Su, do you have any more cloth coupons? I want to buy a nice Mao suit and trousers."

After listening to Su Wanzhen's advice, Zhao Mancang looked down at his work clothes and ordinary cloth shoes, and was immediately filled with disgust.

After all, Su Wanzhen is an accountant in the Finance Department, and she should have a lot of cloth coupons, so Zhao Mancang wanted to borrow some from her.

In fact, he can exchange shoes from the system, but it is difficult to explain the source.

Rather than causing unnecessary trouble, it is better to just ask people to borrow money.

"No problem, I'll give it to you tomorrow, but you have to remember to return it when the time comes. I don't have much on hand." Su Wanzhen was straightforward and did not refuse.

"Thank you Accountant Su!"

Zhao Mancang thanked him happily and then offered to ride his bicycle to take the other person home, but was politely declined.

"You should keep the back seat of your bicycle for your future wife. I don't want to be misunderstood, hahaha."

Although Su Wanzhen is a matchmaker and is over 30 years old, she doesn't want to be too close to the 24-year-old Zhao Mancang.

The next day, when Zhao Mancang returned to the steel mill, Zhang Debao came up to him and asked in a low voice:

"Brother Zhao, I heard you're going on a blind date?"

"Who told you that?" Zhao Mancang gave the other person a strange look. This matter hadn't even started yet, but it had already caused such an uproar in the city?
"Didn't Accountant Su come to our breeding room yesterday afternoon? She's a famous matchmaker. What else could she want if not to introduce you to a blind date?"
