Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

If Lin Mo heard this girl's complaints, he definitely wouldn't go to pay respects for the New Year today. He would insist on challenging that fortune teller to a duel to see if the old man was truly skilled or just guessing.

Although he still didn't believe it, Lin Mo's actions betrayed him. As soon as he got back, he stuffed the talisman into the pocket inside his coat.

Just like his mother said, it's better to believe it exists than not to believe it doesn't. Although the other party probably didn't expect that he would suffer physical damage, having this talisman is better than not having it.

It's a pity that he didn't find this thing on his shopping page, otherwise he would have worn it close to his body long ago, and wouldn't have suffered this misfortune.

Getting hit by a car on the first day of the Lunar New Year is a bad omen, but luckily he was unharmed. He dusted himself off and was back to normal.

"What's wrong, son? Why did your bottom get dirty after you threw away the trash?"

"From the passenger seat, Comrade Lin asked curiously."

Hearing this, Lin Mo fastened his seatbelt and sighed: "That old fortune teller my mom found is really wicked, but his predictions are damn accurate."

Don't let me find out who he is, or I'll tell my older brother all over him and have him run him over with his car!

"Your older brother? Which older brother? What's wrong with a fortune teller?" Old Lin asked, puzzled.

In response, Lin Mo started the car: "My eldest brother is a direct descendant of four generations of high-ranking officials!"

"It's just a little girl, such a cute little thing, how could she even reach the accelerator to drive!" Old Lin suddenly realized.

Lin Mo didn't reply to this. He was joking. His Sister Yuan was someone who had knocked a knife-wielding thug flying. A mere fortune teller, if the other party performed at the same level as the fortune teller, would surely enrage Miss Yuan.

Soon, Lin Mo drove towards his aunt's house. His first New Year's visit was to his aunt's house, as he did every year.

Happy Chinese New Year, Auntie! Happy Chinese New Year, Uncle!

"Happy New Year, eldest sister! Happy New Year, eldest brother-in-law!"

"Okay, okay, everything's fine!"

"Happy Chinese New Year, Second Aunt's Husband!"

When my cousin Su He came to our house, the two of us greeted her and wished her a Happy New Year as soon as the door opened.

Fortunately, this isn't a province with a huge number of civil service exams, where you don't need to kneel down and kowtow to offer New Year's greetings, just clasp your hands in greeting and say hello.

"Oh my, Xiao Mo is getting more and more energetic! That's great! I heard from your cousin that you're doing well at work and earning a lot of money. How's it going with your girlfriend? Have you settled down yet?"

As soon as she sat down, Aunt Zhou Hui asked with a smile.

His aunt's family definitely knew about how much money he was making, since his cousin knew about it too. Although she wouldn't tell him everything, she would mention it a couple of times.

Moreover, the two families have an excellent relationship, and even if they know that he is now making money and doing well, they will only be happy for him.

After all, he made money, and his cousin's income also increased.

"No rush, no rush, Auntie. I haven't graduated yet. We'll talk about it after I graduate," Lin Mo said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the uncle poured tea for the two of them and said, "That's true. You'll graduate in about six months, right? Hurry up and try to settle things by the end of this year."

"It's past the New Year, isn't it 23 already?"

Lin Mo nodded: "Yeah, I'm really not in a hurry!"

The 23 that his uncle mentioned is his age in the traditional Chinese way (nominal age). The older generation says that people like to use the traditional Chinese age for their age, and the actual age is only mentioned when applying for certificates or taking civil service exams.

"It's better to get married sooner rather than later. Look at your cousin, she's so old and not worried at all. Getting married so late is delaying a whole generation. Besides, while you're not in a hurry, your girlfriend's family doesn't think so!" After saying this, Aunt Zhou Hui turned to her daughter and punched her twice in the arm.
"Look at your brother, he's 23 and he's already brought his girlfriend home. And look at you!"

Cousin Su He:
Then the aunt turned to Lin Mo again and asked, "Didn't your boyfriend come back with you for the New Year?"

Lin Mo shook his head: "No, I came over once during the Gregorian calendar year, and I also went to her house, so I met her parents. She should come to visit on the third or fourth day of the new year!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than her aunt turned and punched her cousin Su Su twice: "Oh my god, look at her! What were you thinking?!"

The older cousin who had been hit immediately stood up: "Mom, calm down, calm down, I'm trying."

"What do you mean 'calm down'? Xiao Mo, tell your aunt quickly, how did you manage to win over Ru Yan? That girl has high standards!" Aunt Zhou Hui asked anxiously.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo said, "Her? My cousin gave it to me... Waaaaah!!"

Before he could finish speaking, his cousin Su He covered his mouth and dragged him aside, then whispered fiercely in his ear, "Can't you just shut up and die? Can't you just shut up and die?!"

Lin Mo:
The way you're saying that I got this relationship is largely thanks to you, you always say it so often, why can't I say it now? What's wrong with a matchmaker saying things like that?

After dragging Lin Mo aside, Auntie finally calmed down.

If she knew that her daughter had the leisure to introduce potential partners to others, but she herself didn't care at all, she probably wouldn't be that angry.

"Cousin, it can't be that bad. At worst, Auntie can introduce you to a few more blind dates during the Chinese New Year holiday."
"Let me tell you, it's Chinese New Year now, all the young men are coming back from out of town. With your looks, sister, we're going to be the most attractive couple!" Lin Mo whispered, pulling her cousin's hand away.

She was afraid of attracting the attention of the three adults in her family.

Upon hearing this, his cousin Su He rolled her eyes at him: "You make it sound so easy. You know your cousin is quite eligible, so I have to be careful when choosing!"
For me, celebrating the Lunar New Year now feels like being pregnant and about to give birth. My whole family is hoping I'll have a big, healthy baby boy, but only I know that I'm not pregnant at all, and I can't give birth!

It has to be said that this analogy is quite vivid. His cousin was already quite well-off; she was a beautiful young woman with a job, a car, and although she rented a house, her living conditions were still quite good.

Now the little beauty has grown into a big beauty, and her income has increased significantly. She earns tens of thousands of yuan a month, and she looks down on people with average means and those who are not good-looking.

However, if she is a second-generation rich kid, aside from the uncertainty of her character, she doesn't have much room to marry up.

While beauty is a resource, it is not particularly rare for the wealthy.

To put it simply, given Su He's current circumstances, if she were to marry into a wealthy family, she could only find a simple-minded son from a landlord's family. His parents would be rich, but his partner would be of average ability.

Liu Ruyan had already told her this, and of course, the landlord Liu Ruyan was referring to must be someone with tens of millions in assets.

So she's stuck here now. She's not willing to look for someone lower down, but looking for someone higher up is too difficult. So she only has one goal now: to make a lot of money and then find a handsome guy.

After all, this is the path Liu Ruyan has taken, so she naturally wants to follow it too. If she could find someone young, handsome, and from a decent family, that would be even better.

"Don't rush. If it really doesn't work out, I'll have Li Shiya help you post your resume for marriage. You know that pig-slaughtering feast that was all the rage online a few days before the New Year? My classmate Li Shiya helped forward it."

"Don't worry, my buddy has connections. Once the video is released, the selection will be limited to Jiangning. He can let you meet a different one every day for a year. I don't believe there isn't one!" Lin Mo said confidently. He now considered himself to have mastered the user manual for Li Shiya.

Cousin Su He: →_→

"Thank you!"

Lin Mo: "They're all relatives!"

Su He:
