Chapter 325 Matchmaking
Jiang Moli got her food and returned home, only to find that Jiang Dahai had already come home from get off work.

"Dad, I have your favorite stir-fried pork liver today."

Jiang Dahai said to her with a worried expression, "Your second uncle is injured. I have to go back to my hometown to see him. Leave the food here, I'll eat when I get back. You go back first."

Jiang Moli called the Lu family to let them know, and then went back to her hometown with Jiang Dahai.

It was already 1:30 pm when we got back to Lizigou.

On the way, Jiang Dahai briefly explained the situation to Jiang Moli.

Jiang Dachuan was injured by Jiang Dashan; his head was split open and he needed five stitches.

For rural people with thick skin, this kind of injury is nothing.

The reason the Jiang family called Jiang Dahai back to his hometown was because Jiang Dashan's fight with Jiang Dachuan was somewhat related to Jiang Moli.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Moli said at the dinner table that Jiang Dachuan was incompatible with tobacco and alcohol, and that avoiding these two things would ensure his safety. No one took it seriously, but Jiang Dashan believed it.

From then on, he kept a close eye on Jiang Dachuan like a thief, and whenever he caught Jiang Dachuan smoking or drinking, he would chase after him with a carrying pole and beat him.

Unexpectedly, this time they misjudged and broke Jiang Dachuan's head.

Ding Yuzhen was furious and sent a message to Jiang Dahai, demanding that he return and give her an explanation.

……

In the main room of Jiang Dachuan's house, Jiang Dashan, Yang Chunxiang, Jiang Dachuan, Ding Yuzhen, and their respective sons and daughters-in-law were all gathered together.

The courtyard was packed with villagers who were there to watch the spectacle.

Jiang Dachuan sat on a bamboo chair, with gauze wrapped from the top of his head to his chin.

Ding Yuzhen stood beside her husband, wiping away tears as she sobbed, "Look at Da Chuan's head, such a long, bloody gash. Brother, what were you thinking, hitting Da Chuan so hard? Did you not want him to live?"

Yang Chunxiang retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? When two brothers fight, everyone makes a mistake sometimes. We've already paid for the medical expenses and given you two old hens. What more do you want? Who are you trying to impress with this show?"

Ding Yuzhen said angrily, "The head is a person's lifeline. With such a big hole in it, if anything happens to Da Chuan in the future, let alone two old hens, even two hundred wouldn't be enough!"

"Not enough, huh? Come on, take my life."

"Who cares about your life? Your life is worthless."

"If you don't care, then why are you crying? Your man isn't dead, so who are you mourning for?"

"I'll mourn for your man! Go to hell, you're all just jealous that Da Chuan got a job, don't you have one too?"

"Pah! I'd be too tired to even accept such a lousy job!"

The two sisters-in-law were arguing so fiercely that they were practically ready to roll up their sleeves and fight.

Jiang Dahai spoke up to mediate: "Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, let's talk this out."

Instead of offering advice, he was met with a barrage of criticism from Ding Yuzhen: "Stop trying to smooth things over! This whole mess was caused by your Jasmine!"

"Don't drag Jasmine into this. Jasmine is only doing it for Dachuan's own good. Smoking and drinking are inherently bad. With Mom and Dad gone, it's my duty as the older brother to discipline my younger brothers!"

It's rare that Jiang Dashan would stand up for Jiang Moli at this time.

He was genuinely grateful to Jiang Moli for saving him, and firmly believed that Jiang Moli was saving Jiang Dachuan.

Jiang Moli said Jiang Dachuan shouldn't smoke or drink, so he shouldn't!

Ding Yuzhen turned directly to Jiang Moli and said, "Moli, if it weren't for all those nonsense you said, your second uncle wouldn't have suffered like this. What do you say to that?"

Jiang Moli said, "I told you, Second Uncle, you won't be safe if you don't smoke, but you just wouldn't believe me."

Ding Yuzhen was in a state of stagnation.

"But then again, Second Aunt, do you think Uncle did something wrong, that he interfered in the wrong way?" Ding Yuzhen said irritably, "Dachuan is already a grandfather, why does he need to worry about things that don't concern him?"

Jiang Moli turned to Jiang Dashan and said, "Uncle, did you hear that? I think you're meddling in other people's business. From now on, you shouldn't interfere in your second uncle's affairs, okay?"

Jiang Dashan's lips trembled, and he finally nodded.

"Second Aunt, from now on, Uncle will not meddle in Second Uncle's affairs. As for Second Uncle's injury, it's my fault for being nosy. I'll bring some tonics over tomorrow to help Second Uncle recover, okay?"

Ding Yuzhen actually felt it wasn't enough and wanted to ask for something else, but she was too ashamed to say it in front of the whole village, so she kept quiet.

With the matter resolved, the father and daughter planned to return to the city.

Yang Chunxiang carried a half-basket of local eggs and saw the father and daughter off out of the village.

“Dahai, you look much thinner than last year. You’re a grown man, it’s really not good to be without a woman to take care of you.”

Jiang Dahai understood Yang Chunxiang's intention and was about to politely decline when Jiang Moli took over the conversation.

"Auntie, are you going to be my dad's matchmaker? Tell me about the girl."

Seeing that Jiang Moli was interested, Yang Chunxiang was overjoyed.

The woman is Yang Chunxiang's cousin from her maternal family. She is 30 years old this year and has a son who stayed with her deceased husband's family.

"Jasmine, let me tell you, my sister is honest and hardworking, and she's still young. If you want to have another brother or sister, she can definitely give birth. If you don't want to, we can have her get an IUD after we get married. She won't be in your way at all."

Knowing that Jiang Moli was the one in charge of the household, Yang Chunxiang didn't bother with Jiang Dahai and went straight to Jiang Moli to speak:

“You and Xiaopeng aren’t home, and your dad is still so young. He can’t spend the rest of his life alone. It would be so nice to have someone by his side who cares about him.”

Jiang Moli: "Auntie, everything else is fine, but things from the countryside won't do."

Yang Chunxiang looked at her and said, "What, you want to find someone from the city for your dad?"

"Absolutely. My dad is a government official now. If you ask him to marry a country woman, his colleagues will definitely laugh at him, look down on him, and think he's incompetent. Don't introduce any more country women to us. We don't want any of them."

When Yang Chunxiang relayed these words to the woman's family, including her parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law, they were all furious and cursed Jiang Moli for being snobbish and looking down on rural people.

"Disdain value +15, 150000 yuan credited."

"System, what's my current mission progress?"

"Mission progress 9257/10000, keep it up, host! Only 743 more dislike points are needed to complete the mission and return to your original world!"

Jiang Moli swung on the swing, crunching as she ate an apple.

Why do you look so happy?

"I'm happy for the host."

"Do you know how I feel right now? Be happy for me."

"So, host, are you happy or unhappy right now?"

"Guess~"

"Host, wake up! Men will only slow down your money-making process; they'll be stumbling blocks on your path to riches."

Tap tap tap, as a series of footsteps approached, Lu Tingting walked to the swing.

"Zeng Haiyan is getting married in a couple of days, and she invited you. Are you going?"

Zeng Haiyan?
Jiang Moli bit into her apple and thought for a while, then remembered.

He was the original owner's deskmate in the first year of high school. On the surface, he was on good terms with the original owner, but behind his back, he spread dirty rumors about the original owner.

When the original owner found out, he immediately fought with the other party, and they became mortal enemies from then on.
