Chapter 779: Jia Zhangshi Makes Things Difficult for Matchmaker Wang
"Aunt Jia, you... I give up. What you're doing is completely useless," Matchmaker Wang said earnestly.
"I am useless, that's why I came to ask for your help. Otherwise, what help can you provide? I'm telling you, I'm impatient now. You have at most three days. If you can't settle this matter within three days and get this marriage for my Dongxu, I will make you lose face in the entire '163' Sihe Academy. If you can get it done for me, there will naturally be benefits for you. Anyway, you cannot let Wan Ping'an go on a blind date."
Jia Zhangshi said viciously.
Upon hearing this, Matchmaker Wang felt her scalp tingle. This was a life-threatening matter.
Matchmaker Wang hurriedly begged: "Aunt Jia, I can promise you to try my best to facilitate this marriage, but give me five days! And... I'll remind you, what you're doing is equivalent to forcing the Li family to marry into your family. Are you sure you want to do this?"
Seeing Matchmaker Wang say this, Jia Zhangshi hesitated for a moment before gritting her teeth: "Fine, five days it is, you better handle it well for me!"
After saying this, Jia Zhangshi left.
As soon as the two left, Matchmaker Wang sat down on a stool, wiping the sweat from her forehead, and said: "Sigh... this is a disaster. I've gotten myself into this mess, my life is ruined."
"Sister Wang, what's going on?" A woman in her forties, heavily made up, walked over and asked.
Matchmaker Wang sighed and recounted the matter briefly.
This woman's name was Zhu Cuihua, and she was also a widow.
Her family's conditions were slightly better than Matchmaker Wang's. After all, she was a widow, her husband had passed away early, and her children were grown, so she didn't need to rely on a man for support.
Therefore, Zhu Cuihua could still receive a small subsidy every month, and her life was passable.
She had just heard the conversation between Jia Zhangshi and Matchmaker Wang, so she came over to investigate.
Unexpectedly, after hearing these words, Zhu Cuihua frowned and said: "This Jia family is bullying people too much! No, I must help you. Not only that, I will find a matchmaker to help you play matchmaker and try to persuade Li Mei to agree."
Upon hearing this, Matchmaker Wang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Thank you, Sister Cuihua. I also think that Jia family is not a decent thing, but I'm afraid that beast Wan Ping'an will cause trouble."
Zhu Cuihua shook her head and said: "Don't worry, I guarantee this will work. I heard that this First Elder Wan Ping'an has been busy with the Second Elder repairing the water pipes in the courtyard recently. And you also asked the First Elder to go on a blind date for Li Mei today, didn't he leave without even looking? The main issue is what's up with this Jia Dongxu. He usually asks you to find him a wife when he sees you, but when it's a blind date, he says to forget it..."
"Yes, yes, yes, this brat deserves a beating. Watch how I deal with him!" Matchmaker Wang said viciously.
Then Zhu Cuihua patted Matchmaker Wang on the shoulder and said: "Alright, don't worry. With me here, I'll definitely resolve this matter for you properly. How about this: you go to the county town tomorrow, buy a few pieces of fabric, and bring some gifts for Jia Dongxu to show your sincerity. By the way, inquire about his news; 'know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle'. As for your side, don't worry, I'll pull some strings to help you find someone. But this time, you must let that Jia Zhangshi prepare some thick gifts for Li Mei."
Upon hearing this, Matchmaker Wang hurriedly said: "Fine, I know this, Sister Cuihua, don't worry." ===== CHAPTER 781 =====
