Chapter 85 Crisis Please subscribe

Because the Jia family was so stingy, no one was willing to find a matchmaker for them.

But the Lou family is different. Even if the stingy "Undead Summoner" Jia Zhang doesn't give the money, he can ask the Lou family for it.

And everyone who understands this era knows that the big capitalists are in a constant state of panic.

Play Landlord, what good will the Lou family have then?

If you marry the daughter of a capitalist, you might suffer misfortune.

But this was not within the matchmaker's consideration. After all, the Jia family didn't seem happy, so why should they consider so much?
It's a good opportunity to vent my anger. The matchmaker has a clever tongue and can always turn good things into bad things and bad things into good things.

Good or bad, it all depends on the matchmaker's words. She praised the daughter of the Lou family to the sky.

Just like a fairy...

Matchmaker Wang added fuel to the fire, saying, "I know what your Lao Yi is thinking. Doesn't he want his disciple Dongxu to take care of you two in your old age? This Lou Xiaoe is Lou Bancheng's daughter, and your Lao Yi is an old man in the steel mill. They know everything about him. When the time comes, won't it be easier for him to accept the old age care?"

This hit the aunt's soft spot.

Caring for the elderly is what they have been busy with for half their lives.

When you are young, you may not think it is a big deal, but now that you are over 40, this old age crisis has arrived.

It is said that raising a son is a way to prepare for old age, but they have no son, so they can only place all their hopes on their apprentice Jia Dongxu.

Therefore, the choice of Jia Dongxu's wife becomes even more important. If he gets married in the future and she is unwilling to support him and Lao Yi, wouldn't all his life's efforts be wasted?

Fetching water from a bamboo basket is all in vain!

Thinking of this, the aunt said, "Thank you for troubling me, Matchmaker Wang. Just tell me first. I will discuss it with Lao Yi when I come back."

"to make."

Matchmaker Wang agreed.

"By the way, Matchmaker Wang, please wait a moment."

As she spoke, a woman in the corner of her room took out a half basket of eggs and said, "There's nothing good at home, so you can take these eggs first. When Lao Yi comes back, if he agrees, you can make it happen, and you'll be rewarded handsomely."

"Oh, how can this be so embarrassing?"

Matchmaker Wang said some embarrassing words, but she held the handle of the egg basket tightly in her hand.

The aunt politely escorted Wang the matchmaker out of the yard.

....................................

He happened to run into Xu Damao who had just returned. With a smile on his long horse face, he asked, "Auntie, is that a relative of yours?"

The lady smiled and said, "Matchmaker Wang, introduce a date to Dongxu."

"Oh……"

Xu Damao nodded. Now he was not envious or jealous at all because he would soon be single too.

Besides, she is Lou Bancheng's daughter. If he marries her, won't he get a promotion and a raise, and reach the peak of his life?
Poor him, he doesn’t know yet that his love rival is Jia Dongxu.

..........................................

He Yuzhu didn't know about these dirty things. He just felt a little unwell. How come his little brother woke up inexplicably?
And it felt like someone had held my hand before, and it stimulated me.

That person can't be me, could it be Chen Xueru?
But he quickly denied it, saying it was impossible.

How could a virgin like Chen Xueru do such a thing? In the end, He Yuzhu could only blame it on his own youthful vigor... and excessive temper.

Chen Xueru was a demon. He Yuzhu didn't dare to stay with her for long, so he quickly found an excuse to run away. He went to the school to pick up He Yushui with two lunch boxes.

He Yuzhu finally breathed a sigh of relief when the two siblings returned home.

孽 孽!
Thinking of Chen Xueru, Qin Huairu and Lou Xiaoe, as a man, he wanted them all, but the times did not allow it.

Sighing, he stood up and started cooking for the rain.

Heat up the steamed bread and pair it with the dishes brought back from Lou’s house, and it’s another simple meal.

..............................

The next day.

He Yuzhu came to the steel mill to work as usual, but there was a noticeably different atmosphere today. He naturally understood what was going on, but pretended to know nothing.

After working busy until noon, the steel mill's broadcast finally sounded.

All the cadres were called to a meeting. He Yuzhu was not a cadre, but just a cook, so naturally he did not need to go.

The person who went there was the canteen director. He Yuzhu knew that this was Director Yang and his men moving into the steel rolling mill. Some people might be laid off in the future. These people could not be workers, but could only be cadres. After all, they were all promoted by Lou Bancheng, so they would definitely be replaced by his own people.

As the saying goes, a new emperor appoints new ministers.

There is truth to the old saying.

Ordinary workers like He Yuzhu, on the other hand, don't have to worry. Unless they have committed heinous crimes, such as murder or arson, or have a bad record, they will be laid off. Otherwise, this is a job they can do for a lifetime.

It’s just that the era of workers’ dividends will not last long.

He Yuzhu was concentrating on doing his own thing.

the other side.

At the Lou family, matchmaker Wang came to the house.

He began to lobby Tan Yali to marry Lou Xiaoe to the Jia family.

But in fact, it has already been decided to marry my daughter to Xu Damao.

In addition, Xu Damao's mother was a servant of the Lou family and knew them well.

She was not afraid that the Xu family would turn against Tiangang and her daughter would be bullied after she married into the family.

But this matchmaker Wang praised Jia Dongxu as a flower, saying that he was young, handsome, and talented. He was learning skills from Yi Zhonghai, a senior fitter in the factory, and he would definitely have a high position in the factory in the future.

He is also a typical working class man, which made Tan Yali fall into deep thought for a moment. She was no longer determined to marry her daughter to Xu Damao. This is also human nature. Who doesn't want their daughter to marry and enjoy a good life?
This Jia Dongxu was praised as so outstanding that he seemed to be indeed better than Xu Damao from the Xu family, which made her feel troubled.

Besides, my daughter herself doesn't want to marry Xu Damao, so maybe Jia Dongxu will suit her wishes.

After much thought, she decided that as a woman, she did not dare to make any decisions on her own.

I can only say that I will talk about this matter after my husband comes back.

When Matchmaker Wang saw that her goal had been achieved, she decided to leave.

There was no benefit for Lou Xiaoe to marry into the Xu family, as she didn't get a penny.

But if she marries into Jia Dongxu's family, it will be all thanks to him as the matchmaker. Then both Lao Yi and the Lou family will have to give her monthly allowance.

This is what the matchmaker is planning!
In the evening, Lou Bancheng came back from dealing with some matters. Although he had handed over the steel mill, there were still many procedures to be handed over.

He had to be there. After a busy day, Tan Yali came home and knew that her husband was very tired. However, what the matchmaker Wang had said during the day was related to her daughter's happiness.
