I couldn't take it anymore; when I went home for Chinese New Year, the family genealogy book ha

Liu Cuifen lost a huge amount of face at the convenience store.

She kept her head down the whole way, practically fleeing home.

The villagers' eyes, filled with a mixture of pity and schadenfreude, seemed to want to laugh but dared not, like red-hot knives, slowly tearing her self-esteem to shreds.

"Bang!"

She kicked open her half-closed front door and rushed into the house.

As soon as I entered the door, the anger that had been building up inside me suddenly surged up.

There she saw her precious son, Jiang Wei, sprawled out on the sofa, legs crossed, intently playing a game on his phone.

He kept muttering curses under his breath.

"Does the jungler even know how to play?!"

"Go for it! What are you cowards for! A bunch of useless trash!"

Sunflower seed shells and cigarette butts were scattered all over the floor next to the sofa, making the whole room look like a pigsty.

Seeing this scene, Liu Cuifen was furious.

She rushed over and snatched Jiang Wei's phone.

"All you ever do is play, play, play! Look at you, how old are you? Don't you have any sense of propriety?"

"Look at Jiang Chen!"

The mere mention of this name makes Liu Cuifen feel as if her heart is bleeding.

Compared to them, you're nothing but a lump of useless mud that can't be plastered on a wall!

"Mom! What are you doing?!"

His phone was stolen, and his character in the game was instantly killed. Jiang Wei sat up impatiently from the sofa.

He'd been scolded so much that he'd long since become desensitized; upon hearing this, he merely muttered a dismissive remark.

"So what if he's rich?"

"Isn't he just a pretty boy who swindled a rich woman out of her looks?"

"No matter how capable he is, he's still a bachelor!"

"What about me? At least I have a girlfriend!"

Jiang Wei's words were originally just a casual rebuttal.

Yup!

Single!

No matter how rich or how good Jiang Chen is at putting on an act, isn't he still a bachelor in his mid-twenties without a girlfriend?

In rural areas, no matter how rich you are, if you don't have a wife or children, you're considered incomplete and flawed in other people's eyes!

This is Jiang Chen's only "weakness"!

Liu Cuifen's triangular eyes suddenly darted around, and a plan came to mind!

Well, Jiang Chen, aren't you so capable? Aren't you rich?

Are you trying to embarrass me in front of the whole village?

Then I'll trip you up the most in the village's most important matter: your "life's most important event"!

She wanted to introduce Jiang Chen to someone.

Moreover, I'm going to introduce the most extreme one, the one that's the most disgraceful!

I want to disgust him!

He made his family lose face in front of the whole village!

Thinking of this, Liu Cuifen's face, which was contorted with anger, revealed a sinister smile.

She immediately thought of someone.

The woman at the east end of the village, known as the "golden matchmaker" for miles around, was Wang Da Niang.

In Aunt Wang's hands, there are all sorts of "resources" from all walks of life.

From divorced women with two kids to lazy women who just want a long-term meal ticket, there's something for everyone.

Having made up her mind, Liu Cuifen immediately took action.

She rummaged through the cupboard and found two pounds of white sugar that she couldn't bear to eat even during the New Year. She also took out a newly bought pack of Hongmei cigarettes from her husband's cigarette box and put them in a red plastic bag.

Then, she changed into clean clothes and hurried off toward Aunt Wang's house.

"Oh, it's Cuifen! What brings you here?"

As Aunt Wang was sitting at the door picking vegetables, she saw Liu Cuifen carrying things to the door, and a knowing glint immediately flashed in her shrewd eyes.

"Auntie, I've come to bring you some New Year's gifts."

With a beaming smile, Liu Cuifen placed the items at Aunt Wang's feet.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Liu Cuifen got straight to the point.

She embellished the story, exaggerating to the extreme, and praised her nephew Jiang Chen.

It was only said that he was a senior director in Shanghai, smart and capable, earning millions a year, and was a top talent.

However, they never mentioned what kind of car Jiang Chen drives or how much the home renovation cost.

That's exactly the kind of information gap she wanted.

Finally, she leaned close to Aunt Wang's ear, lowered her voice, and stated her core request.

"Auntie, my nephew has very high standards."

"You'd better find him a 'strong' girl, the kind who can keep him in check."

"We can't let the young men who come back from the city look down on the girls in our town, can we?"

She deliberately emphasized the word "amazing".

Who is Aunt Wang?

That person is the most shrewd of all.

Upon hearing the veiled meaning in Liu Cuifen's words, and recalling the rumors circulating in the village about the Jiang family in the past two days, she instantly understood.

This is malicious; they want to use her as a pawn.

However, Aunt Wang didn't care.

As long as there are benefits to be gained, that's fine.

Without making a sound, she moved the bag of sugar and cigarettes further into the house, then patted her chest and assured Liu Cuifen.

Don't worry!

"Leave this to me!"

She smiled mysteriously, her eyes narrowing into slits.

"I happen to have a 'person' in my possession."

"I guarantee your nephew will be 'deeply impressed' after just one meeting, and will never forget it for the rest of his life!"

……

The next morning.

Jiang Chen moved a small stool and sat in the yard, basking in the sun while leisurely eating sunflower seeds.

Sudden.

"Sooyoung! Sooyoung! Are you home?"

With a flurry of shouts, Granny Wang's plump figure burst through the Jiang family's gate.

Her face was plastered with that professional, overly enthusiastic smile, and her voice could be heard even before she entered the courtyard.

"Great news! Incredible good news!"

She grabbed Wang Xiuying as she came out of the kitchen, her voice so loud it could be heard by half the village.

"I've found a really, really great girl for your Jiang Chen!"

"That girl is beautiful, comes from a good family, and is very capable. She's incredibly rare!"

Jiang Chen, who was eating sunflower seeds, paused slightly upon hearing this.

I'm too lazy to even crack open a sunflower seed.

He looked up at Aunt Wang's face, which was beaming like a chrysanthemum, and not far behind her, Aunt Liu Cuifen, who was peeking out with her face full of "come and see the show."

Jiang Chen understood instantly.

It's time to come, it's coming.

He knew he couldn't escape this mess.

but……

Since you insist on sticking your face out here.

If I don't slap them hard a few times, wouldn't that be too disrespectful?

Sure.

Then I'll play along with you guys.
