Live-streamed dating: My information is constantly updated

Chapter 325 Wanting to Have Three
"He...he...where in Liuyang is he from?"

When the older brother heard that there were locals in the live stream, he became so anxious that he couldn't even speak properly.

Zhang Zhe gestured for him to hold on: "Wait a minute, let me see if I can get him on the mic."

"【Loves Buying Fireworks to Blow Up Dog Bowls】Hey bro, are you really from here? Would you mind speaking up?"

"Or you can send me a private message and I'll see what's going on."

Zhang Zhe kept an eye on the private messages on his phone while also looking at the computer screen, so as not to miss any of the parties involved speaking out.

Soon, he received a private message from this guy and was successfully invited to speak on the microphone.

"Hey, hey, can you hear me?"

The new guy on the microphone had a slightly unruly tone, and he was chewing something as he spoke; judging from the sound, he was probably eating a premium fruit.

"I can hear you." Zhang Zhe nodded. "Are you from the same place as this guy?"

"No, no, I'm from Dongxiang, and he's from Nanxiang. We're not from the same place. But I have a friend who also married a Lao woman."

"Are they really friends?" Zhang Zhe asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Of course they are friends. My own wife is a local. In Dongxiang, the bride price is only 88,000 yuan, which is different from theirs."

"You're from the same city, yet there's such a big difference between you?"

“Yes, the four villages here—east, west, south, and north—have different dowries and customs.” The older brother explained, “My friend has a leg disability, which makes it difficult for him to get married locally, so he found a matchmaking agency in Changsha and they introduced him to a Lao woman…”

I can understand this. It's true that it's difficult for a single man in the countryside, especially one in poor health, to find a wife.

Scammers love to prey on these unfortunate people.

These people still place too much emphasis on carrying on the family line.

Honestly, if you can't even attract women from your own country, it'll be really hard for you to attract foreign women.

"Although he married a foreign woman, it was not cheap at all. Anyway, his father told me that just getting the marriage certificate in Changsha cost tens of thousands of yuan."

"Including the bride price and the commission for the intermediary, it cost more than 200,000 yuan in total."

"To be honest, before he got married, I thought it would be fine to marry a foreign woman, but after seeing other people marry foreign women, I realized that what I read online was all false."

“That woman can’t do anything. She can’t speak Chinese and needs a translator to understand people. She just sits at home playing on her phone all day. Her whole family has to take care of her.”

"Huh?" The guy who started the call clearly didn't believe it and asked anxiously, "But the matchmaker told me that women in Southeast Asia have a very low status at home and have to do housework."

“Everyone of them is a skilled farmer.”

"I don't know about your side, but the woman my friend married doesn't even know how to use a sickle."

"They're really good at using their phones; they post short videos every day."

"Where was I?"

"You said: Foreign wives don't do anything, and then what?" Zhang Zhe asked.

"Oh, thank you, host."

"Not only does she do nothing, but her family also has to send people to watch over her, in case she runs away."

"But in the end, she couldn't hold on. A little over a month after she married into the family, one night someone in the village passed away. After they finished eating at the funeral, the woman took advantage of their inattention, got into a white sedan, and drove off."

"The whole family chased after it, but they couldn't catch it. However, they heard from others that the car looked like it belonged to a local family."

"I guess they sent a car to pick them up after the matchmaking agency closed down, and then moved to another place to continue scamming them."

[Wow, they've turned this into an industry?] [This matchmaking agency is actually quite trustworthy; they even came back to pick up the person after getting the money.]

Didn't they get their marriage certificate? How can they get married a second time after the woman ran away?

Isn't it said that green cards are hard to get in our country? How come Lao women can marry into the country so easily?

[They only mentioned marriage, but didn't specify it had to be with a foreigner; they probably used a fake identity.]

"It seems they've turned this into a gray market business." Zhang Zhe's expression turned serious after hearing this.

The comments section was full of people saying that these matchmaking agencies were taking away business from legitimate matchmakers, but Zhang Zhe didn't think so.

Don't be fooled by the fact that these guys are willing to spend tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan to marry foreign wives; at first glance, they seem quite generous with their money.

But if you really ask them to spend 500 yuan to participate in a blind date, they would absolutely not be willing to spend that money.

There may be an element of the declining reputation of women in marriage and relationships, but the main reason is the inertia of thought.

These guys simply have the habitual mindset of not acting until they see the benefits, believing that once they've been paid, they have to get a marriage certificate and sleep with the woman, just like doing business.

In today's marriage market, only the foreign wives touted by unscrupulous matchmakers can meet their requirements, so it's not surprising that they make this choice.

"Brother, stop now," Zhang Zhe said to the man who had spoken first. "If you really spend money to marry a Southeast Asian woman, you'll most likely become a negative example in other people's eyes."

"When people tell jokes about you, they'll be talking about your story."

"Brother, if you really want to get married," the older brother said slowly, "then why don't you go somewhere else and look around?"

“There are still good women in this world. Like my wife, when we got married, I only gave her 8000 yuan as a bride price, and she brought back 5000 yuan.”

"Foreign women are nowhere near as good as our local women. If you marry one, you really can't make it work. At most, she'll have a child with you, but after that, she'll still run away."

The older brother who loves chewing betel nuts has already made his point very clear.

However, the person being advised seemed unmoved and actually said:
"Actually, I think it's okay to run after having a child, at least I have a child."

[The ultimate classic example: all I wanted was a child]

Anyone who gets reincarnated as his child is truly in deep trouble.

Now I know why single-parent families often raise weirdos. There's no way around it; the parents aren't exactly normal people either.

Is it absolutely necessary to have this child?

Zhang Zhe also wanted to ask this guy if he had a mission? Would he be eliminated by the system if he didn't have children?

As for?
But the betel nut vendor didn't give Zhang Zhe a chance to speak, directly asking his fellow villager:

"You really want children that badly? You should have said so earlier. I have a cousin who is 34 years old, has been married twice, and has four sons."

“She’s looking for a partner right now. If you’re interested, I can introduce you two. You give her 200,000 yuan, she’ll marry you, have a son, and then you can get a divorce after she finishes her postpartum period.”

"How about it?"

"666." Zhang Zhe was speechless, at a loss for words to express his shock.

Indeed, there are always more solutions than problems.

The most outrageous thing is that after hearing this, the young man was actually quite moved and came to ask Zhang Zhe:
"Brother Zhang, if I sign an agreement with her cousin, is there any legal basis for it?"

"Also, does what we're doing constitute human trafficking?"
