Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Without blinking an eye, Du Xiaojuan transferred 1 million to Wang Xiaohua; such speed and decisiveness not only made Wang Dashan look depressed, but also greatly surprised Wang Xiaohua.

After receiving the money, Wang Xiaohua immediately called Du Xiaojuan:

"Eldest Sister-in-law, I only need 800,000; you gave me 1 million, I'm a bit embarrassed..."

But Du Xiaojuan said:

"One family doesn't speak two sets of words; I know you opened this mouth to your eldest brother, so you must have some difficulty. The extra 200,000, just treat it as your living expenses. You're a civil servant in a township, your salary is so low, don't shortchange yourself, and don't do anything overstepping just because you lack money."

Hearing these words, Wang Xiaohua was very moved.

"Eldest Sister-in-law, this kindness of yours, I'll remember for a lifetime!"

Du Xiaojuan said generously:

"Don't be polite, one family doesn't speak two sets of words! Right, your mom has been nagging about you finding a partner; have you found one now?"

Previously Du Xiaojuan had promised Li Xiulan to help Wang Xiaohua find a partner.

This wasn't just a verbal promise; she actually went and did it.

Xiao Du Technology has quite a few quality single women; Du Xiaojuan did a selection during this period.

She knew Wang Xiaohua's biggest hard flaw was his height.

So in finding a blind date partner for Wang Xiaohua, the first condition was that the woman must not mind Wang Xiaohua's height.

If she minds, there's no need to meet.

As a result, the situation wasn't great; the vast majority of girls required the man to be over 170 cm, some even over 175 cm, and there were even two who required 180 cm.

This simply couldn't be negotiated.

Fortunately, in this world, there are always a few exceptions.

There's an intern in the company who was hired not long ago, works slowly and methodically, looks a bit naturally dazed; her name is Zhang Ruoshui. Du Xiaojuan inquired and discovered her requirements were different — she only requires the man to have a high IQ; everything else she doesn't care about.

As for the reason, Zhang Ruoshui said she herself has been stupid from childhood; she studied with all her might, even repeated two years, and only barely got into a second-tier university. She suffered too many losses from being stupid, so she wants to find a smart one to balance it out, so her offspring won't be stupid like her.

This Zhang Ruoshui is indeed rather clumsy; ever since she started interning at the company, she hasn't made few mistakes.

Her department supervisor even wanted to fire her, but was ultimately vetoed by Du Xiaojuan with a single vote.

The reason: although this person made quite a few mistakes, none were major, and she's quite willing to learn, works very hard, very conscientious.

At least in attitude there's absolutely no problem.

And the most important point is, Du Xiaojuan is currently helping Wang Xiaohua find a partner.

She felt that although Zhang Ruoshui is a bit stupid, she might just become Wang Xiaohua's virtuous wife.

A few days ago Du Xiaojuan privately chatted with Zhang Ruoshui; regarding the blind date, Zhang Ruoshui didn't reject it. She also said she's too stupid, afraid of being deceived, so she's never dated.

Actually in university, men pursued her, but she saw those men's sweet talk, feared she couldn't handle it, so she declined them all; additionally her studies required great effort just to avoid failing, so she didn't have much time to date.

So if Miss Du can introduce a reliable man, she'd be very willing to meet.

Du Xiaojuan got Zhang Ruoshui's agreement, so she took advantage of this loan to bring it up with Wang Xiaohua, asking if Wang Xiaohua had found a partner.

Wang Xiaohua laughed dryly:

"Recently been busy with work, no time to look."

Wang Xiaohua's answer was within Du Xiaojuan's expectations.

Du Xiaojuan said:

"Then when you're done with your current tasks, find a weekend to make time and come to Guangzhou; I'll introduce you to a blind date partner!"

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly said:

"Thank you, Eldest Sister-in-law, but..."

Wang Xiaohua wanted to say, but he still didn't have that inclination.

But Du Xiaojuan cut off his words:

"Xiaohua, you're not young anymore; if not for yourself, then for your mom. The only thing your mom worries about in this life is your lifelong matter! You also stop always thinking of Li Jianjia; I know she's a good girl, but she's gone. You can't keep living in her world unable to come out, right?"

Wang Xiaohua fell silent.

He knew Du Xiaojuan was right; he couldn't keep living in the past.

Besides, he couldn't let his mom worry too much.

His mom is old; letting an elderly person nag all day is unfilial.

So in the end he said:

"Alright then, when I have time, I'll go to Guangzhou."

Du Xiaojuan smiled:

"That's right; tell me, do you have any requirements for a blind date partner?"

Wang Xiaohua thought for a moment:

"Upright character is enough; no excessive requirements."

Du Xiaojuan was stunned, her face showing a trace of surprise:

"No requirements for looks?"

Wang Xiaohua said:

"No real requirements."

This was Wang Xiaohua's honest truth; in his heart there was only one Li Jianjia.

As for other women, whatever their looks may be, it fundamentally doesn't matter.

Du Xiaojuan asked again:

"Any requirements on height?"

Xiao Hua smiled:

"I'm already this short, how could I possibly have any requirements on someone else's height."

Du Xiaojuan asked further:

"Then what about intelligence?"

Du Xiaojuan was just afraid Xiao Hua's requirements on intelligence would be comparatively high.

After all, in this world there are many highly intelligent people who simply can't be bothered to deal with those of low intelligence.

That Zhang Ruoshui's intelligence, very obviously, falls far short of Xiao Hua's.

However, she has a good temper, does things in an unhurried and orderly manner, and is said to cook a mean dish — very obviously she could become a virtuous wife and helpmate.

Xiao Hua then said:

"A normal person's intelligence is fine."

Hearing Xiao Hua's words, Du Xiaojuan let out a breath of relief:

"That's good, just afraid you'd have too high requirements on intelligence! Then when you have time, let me know one or two days in advance, so I can arrange for you to meet the blind date partner!"

Xiao Hua politely said:

"Alright, thank you, Eldest Sister-in-law!"

Hanging up Du Xiaojuan's call, Xiao Hua let out a long breath of turbid air.

In his heart, he couldn't help but feel melancholy.

Because he knows, a partner met through blind dates definitely has no feelings whatsoever.

He himself isn't some perfect person; even if they truly reach the marriage step, afterward there will still be many places needing running-in.

No one can replace Li Jianjia.

And no one can love him, respect him, understand him, even look up to him like Li Jianjia did.

The daily necessities of the future — who knows if they won't turn into a mess of chicken feathers.

Forget it, won't think that much anymore.

If he truly can blind date and marry, that's fine too.

At least he won't be kept in mind by someone with ulterior motives like Zhang Sheng again.

You should know, Zhang Sheng previously mentioned wanting Xiao Hua to get along with his overseas-returned daughter.

Rather than letting his marriage become someone else's tool, might as well just randomly find someone on the blind date market to make do with.

At least there won't be so many entanglements of interest.
