Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

The second aunt scrutinized Ye's mother closely, and the more she looked, the more alarmed she became.

"Could you send me the brand name later? All my cosmetics that cost thousands of yuan don't seem to be as good as yours!"

"Okay, I'll take a look later and send you a picture!" Ye's mother readily agreed.

Ye Chen did buy her cosmetics; she had searched for similar products online, and they weren't cheap.

Of course, his face wasn't made with cosmetics; it was the result of various mysterious pills given to him by Ye Chen.

What cosmetics can make you look 10 years younger? Even if you can cover up blemishes, how can you cover up wrinkles?

But Ye's mother wouldn't tell her anyway; if she wants the name of the cosmetics, just send her the message...

Soon the dishes were prepared and served, and everyone sat around the table.

The dishes were quite good, including fish, shrimp, and crab, six dishes and a soup.

My second aunt was very hospitable; the first thing she did was put a shrimp on Ye's mother's plate: "Sister, peel a shrimp for me first. You probably don't get to eat seafood often, do you?"

Mother Ye laughed and said, "Come on, let's eat together. It's not like it's your first time here. I'll serve myself!"

Ye Chen always brings back seafood, and he always brings back a huge amount, so much so that his freezer at home can't hold it all.

They eat some every few days to clear out their inventory.

So it's definitely not possible that I won't be able to eat it.

Things are different now than before; living conditions have improved.

My second uncle recently visited Ye Chen's hometown, so he knows exactly what the meal allowance is.

My wife is showing off her superiority again...

He changed the subject and invited everyone to start eating.

My second aunt tried to talk about something several times, but my second uncle interrupted and changed the subject.

So the atmosphere wasn't too awkward, and the meal went fairly well.

Auntie glared at Uncle several times, but he pretended not to see it.

"Xiao Chen, I just told your mom that you've been working for a few years now, it's time to buy a house and settle down. Stop being so irresponsible, buying a house and getting married is the only way to get your life on track!"

My second aunt always manages to find something to talk about.

My second uncle coughed lightly: "Even eating can't shut you up? Buy a house and then be burdened with a mortgage for decades like we are? What's so good about buying a house? I don't even dare to rest now!"

Buy a house? What house? You've already bought a villa, why would you need another house?

Do you know how much the car Xiaochen drives costs? It's practically a house on wheels...

This is the awkward situation caused by information asymmetry.

The second uncle didn't tell his wife about Ye Chen's situation, so his wife's understanding of Ye Chen was still stuck in the past.

They have to come up with a few lecturing remarks every now and then, just to feel superior.

"So what if it's a mortgage? Everyone has a mortgage to pay off. You just have to pay it off slowly. Xiao Chen is still young. He'll pay it off in a few decades of work!" Auntie said confidently.

Ye Chen nodded, ending the conversation: "Yes, yes, Aunt is right, I'll think about it carefully!"

Only after Ye Chen said this was his second aunt satisfied.

Otherwise, she could have continued her solo performance for a while longer.

Then my second aunt started talking about her girlfriend, her mouth never stopping for a moment.

"Xiao Chen, you're not young anymore. You should start looking for a girlfriend. You can't be too picky, you know? It's getting harder to find one as you get older. A colleague of mine's son was picky when he was young, and he's still single now."

As Ye Chen sipped his soup, he casually remarked, "Auntie, do you have any connections? Don't just talk the talk, these days it's hard to find a girl. If you do, could you help me find one?"

A normal person would definitely say that you have to rely on your own efforts when they hear this.

After all, not everyone has the potential and ability to be a matchmaker.

Then the topic will be simply moved on again.

As it turned out, Ye Chen's second aunt really did introduce someone to him: "I actually know a girl, about your age, very pretty, and her family is quite well-off. She even brought a house in the county town as her dowry!"

Mother Ye's eyes lit up as she listened, staring intently at her second aunt: "Which family's daughter is it? Why don't we arrange a time to meet up?"

My second aunt also became interested: "Sure, I can arrange a meeting right now. But this girl has a 3-year-old child with her. You shouldn't mind, right? It's a boy, so once he's married into the family, you'll immediately become grandparents!"

Mr. Ye was watching the play and almost choked on his own saliva.

Alright, alright, the topic is getting further and further off track. Oh well, I still can't listen to what the third son's wife has to say.

Relying on her to introduce a daughter-in-law is less reliable than using matchmaking agencies.

Ye Chen's expression also looked somewhat unnatural. Was he such a person who would eat anything?

Even if he's not the best, he shouldn't be a father by accident!

You really can't just jump into conversations randomly; when you talk about these topics with the older generation, the atmosphere always feels a bit off.

Ye's mother gave an awkward laugh: "Taking care of a child? Uh, haha, well, let's forget about that. Do you know any normal single girls you could introduce me to?"

My second aunt said seriously, "Hey, sister, your thinking is a bit outdated. Even though she's raising a child, she's never been married, and her family even gave her a house as a dowry. Xiao Chen can skip ten years of hard work!"

Even the second uncle couldn't stand it anymore and rolled his eyes. Does Ye Chen lack women around him?

She really has no sense of propriety when it comes to talking, even introducing someone with a child to them—who does she think she is?

"Alright, alright, what are you trying to do, playing matchmaker? Xiao Chen was just being polite, and you actually took it seriously? If he wanted a bunch of women lining up to come to his door, would he need you to introduce him to someone else and make him a cuckold? Xiao Chen is just being polite to you, not trying to sabotage you! Don't you have any self-awareness?"

My second uncle shook his head and sighed as he spoke.

Second Aunt scoffed, "So what if he's a cuckold? If Xiao Chen could find a girlfriend, would he still be single? At least he can have children. So many girls don't have kids these days, and he's already complaining!"

"Hiss—yes, the third son's wife is right. But let Xiao Chen go and try to find a partner himself. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so let's not worry about it too much!" Father Ye stood up, laughed, and rubbed his stomach.

My second uncle ignored my second aunt and changed the subject: "How about we have a couple of drinks?"

Father Ye waved his hand: "Let's do it another day. It's not convenient to drive today. We still need to go see our second son!"

The meal was almost finished, so my second uncle got up to make tea: "Have a cup of tea!"

Ye Chen then got up and fled the battlefield.

That way, my second aunt won't have a boyfriend to show off her superiority.

Ye Chen pulled his second uncle to the balcony and telepathically transmitted his voice, "Second Uncle, I'll teach you a set of techniques. Can you pass it on to my dad?"

Second Uncle was slightly taken aback: "What technique? Why don't you teach it yourself? And how did you do that? Telepathic transmission, holy crap!"

"That's right, I'll pass on both techniques to you later. You can pass on the latter to my parents when you have time, as it's inconvenient for me to do so!" Ye Chen said mysteriously.

The second uncle was still wondering what was wrong with Ye Chen, and some things started to pop into his head.

So that's telepathic communication; they're communicating using mental energy now.

My second uncle's eyes lit up. So TV dramas aren't all fiction after all.

Before he could even comprehend it, some strange and embarrassing pieces of knowledge appeared in his mind.

Second Uncle's dark face flushed red, and he glared at Ye Chen.
