Chapter 770: Dressing Up for the Blind Date

"Mom, don't worry. That girl from their family should be three or four years older than me. Unless that old woman agrees to bear me a few big, fat sons, don't even think about it," Jia Dongxu said with a firm look.

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi widened her eyes and said angrily: "You stinky brat! What kind of nonsense are you spouting! Is it easy for people to introduce a wife to you? Why are you so ungrateful? You even dare to call the girl an old woman. Be careful, or Aunt Li's family might beat you flat later."

"Tch, I'm not afraid even if they beat me," Jia Dongxu pouted, then suddenly thought of something, "Eh? Mom, why are you so concerned about the wife Matchmaker Wang is introducing? Could it be that you have some plans? If you're willing, I don't really mind."

"Nonsense, I can't be bothered to meddle in your affairs," Jia Zhangshi said, blushing with embarrassment and anger.

Jia Dongxu gave a wicked chuckle: "Don't be shy, Mom. I know you must be worried that after I marry a wife, I won't treat you well anymore."

"I... I... You... You stinky brat, anyway, Mom absolutely will not allow you to do anything that lets me down. If you dare to mess around, believe it or not, I'll take a pair of scissors and castrate you!"

Jia Dongxu was startled and hurriedly waved his hands to beg for mercy: "Fine, fine, fine, I won't say anything, okay?"

"Hmph, that's more like it." Jia Zhangshi nodded with satisfaction, then urged him, "Hurry up and get up. If you dawdle any longer, they'll leave."

Jia Dongxu sighed: "Sigh, I guess I'll never be able to get a wife in this lifetime."

"Get lost, what are you spouting!" Jia Zhangshi scolded.

Jia Dongxu said with a cheeky grin: "Mom, you go out for a moment first."

"What for?" Jia Zhangshi was taken aback.

"Let me change into some decent clothes. It's embarrassing to go on a blind date looking this sloppy."

"You... Alright, alright, then hurry up and change." Jia Zhangshi shook her head and turned to leave.

After a while, Jia Dongxu finally finished grooming and came out of the room.

But when Jia Dongxu saw his mother, Jia Zhangshi, he couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment: "Mom, isn't this outfit of yours a bit too grand?"

Jia Zhangshi was wearing a brand-new blue plaid shirt paired with floral trousers.

"I'm telling you, Dongxu, you must hurry up and marry a wife, so that everyone in the Sihe Academy can see that you are not one bit inferior to that Wan Ping'an," Jia Zhangshi said proudly.

Jia Dongxu rolled his eyes and said: "Mom, aren't you setting me up for failure? With my appearance, I still want to find a wife? You're trying to make the whole village laugh at me."

"Let whoever wants to laugh, laugh!" Jia Zhangshi said aggressively, then smiled again: "But don't worry, once I'm holding a grandson, you won't have to worry about not being able to find a wife. Look, haven't I found a wife for you now?"

"Mom, you..." Jia Dongxu was speechless.

Jia Zhangshi said with a giggle: "Stop dawdling, hurry up and go, don't delay your date with the girl."

Jia Dongxu shrugged helplessly and took his mother out of the room.

Just as he climbed out from the back wall of his residence, Jia Dongxu discovered that Weiming, the son of his second uncle next door, was standing outside.

"Morning," Jia Dongxu greeted.

"You didn't kick off your quilt while sleeping last night, did you?" Jia Weiming said with a chuckle.

"No, no."

"Oh, that's good. I heard that a thief snuck into our village yesterday to steal eggs. Did your family lose any money or valuables?"

"Not at all," Jia Dongxu hurriedly shook his head.

"That's good. By the way, I heard from Auntie that you're going on a blind date today, remember to dress up and look sharp." After saying this, Weiming turned and headed toward the Yuanwei Assembly. ===== CHAPTER 772 =====
