Chapter 203 Gender Swap
"But if you go through the normal marriage route, don't the children usually take the man's surname? That's what all the matchmakers told me."

"How many matchmakers did you consult?"

"Just one."

"Now, to the second matchmaker you found, let me, Brother Zhang, tell you that in normal marriages, the child's surname is negotiable."

“In today’s marriage market, everything is negotiable. If you want the child to take your surname, you can ask for no dowry and give more dowry.”

"It's just a matter of surname, it's not a big deal at all."

"If all else fails, you can discuss with the man about having two children, one of whom can take your family name."

Zhang Zhe didn't really understand why girls were so troubled.

If there's really no other way, why not just treat this like a business deal? It's less stressful than having a son-in-law live with his wife's family.

"I understand what you mean, teacher."

"But in our area, it seems a bit difficult."

"Then why don't you find a guy with the same surname as you? That way, who will know whose surname the child will have?" Zhang Zhe said with a shrug.

"So...the choices are a bit limited, aren't they? My surname is quite rare in our area."

"Then let's look for those in nearby counties or cities."

"None of them are in nearby counties or cities either."

"?" Zhang Zhe looked puzzled. "Sister, you don't seem very smart."

"What's your surname? It's so unusual. Tell me where you live, and I'll check how many boys in your area share your surname."

[Host, she's unhappy because you said that.]

Don't take it too seriously. She just wants to find a son-in-law who will live with her family. Just go along with her.

This woman is indeed quite domineering; she probably expects everyone to indulge her.

[I feel like she's the kind of person who has a point of view and tries to force everyone around her to accept it.]

"Or do you want me to flatter you and say that you're a good catch and that it'll be easy for you to find a son-in-law?"

"Brother Zhang, that's not what I meant." Realizing she had revealed her true colors, and seeing the screen full of comments, the woman quickly changed her tune: "Of course I believe what you're saying."

"I lack self-confidence."

"Alright then." Zhang Zhe could tell that the woman was being somewhat insincere. He guessed that before going on stage, she thought her idea of ​​finding a son-in-law was a stroke of genius.

"If you really want to find a son-in-law to live with you, I'll teach you a way."

"What method?" the woman asked hurriedly.

"Hehe." Zhang Zhe chuckled helplessly, as expected, he still wouldn't listen to any good advice: "You're still young, go try dating first."

"During the relationship, you take the initiative to cover all of the man's daily expenses."

"Firstly, let's see if we have the financial means."

"If you're going to marry into the family, the basic requirement is that you cover their living expenses. If you can't even do that, then don't even dream about it."

"Secondly, this can also be used to test the man's willingness to be a kept man."

"Generally speaking, if a man can comfortably spend your money, tolerate your bad temper, and is still willing to marry you..."

"You have a chance if you talk to him about marrying into his family."

"If the conversation really doesn't work out and the man agrees to marry into the family, he can settle for the next best thing by asking the child to take his surname. The man usually won't refuse."

[That's really true, it's just like being kept by a rich woman.]

With such a stubborn temper, she can only find a sissy guy.

[Brother Zhang, you actually gave me some advice?]

Sister, you should give it a try! In two years you'll be too old, and the guy you find who lives off you will definitely not marry you.

"Understood, thank you, Brother Zhang."

"Then I'll go try it first, and then I'll come back to find you."

"Sure, you can just place your order then." Zhang Zhe was very straightforward; next time he'd come back, he'd have to pay for a consultation.

Otherwise, I really wouldn't want to entertain this kind of person.

In fact, you can sense this from the process of communicating with this girl:
A strong-willed woman like her is indeed not popular in the marriage market.

This is actually the same for both men and women. If you say something unpleasant to them, they will never listen. You can only say things that go along with their ideas, otherwise the communication cannot continue.

The difference is that there are far more gentle and sweet girls than gentle boys, so it's not difficult for strong-willed boys to find a partner, as long as they have good qualities.

"Why are so many people with gender roles reversed coming to me for advice lately?"

Are there really this many masculine women these days?

Zhang Zhe has lost count of how many times girls have come to him for advice saying that they are assertive and find it difficult to find a partner.

[A hen crowing at dawn, do you think that's a good thing?]

[Actually, it's just that these kinds of girls like to express their opinions online; the majority of normal people are silent.]

I bet they all watch stand-up comedy.

Because the generation of only children has grown up.

Zhang Zhe thought the explanation in the comments was reasonable. The main reason was that the main force in the marriage market had changed. More and more people born in the 90s were now going on blind dates, and even people born in the 00s were starting to do so.

Their views are completely different from those of the older generation.

Zhang Zhe thought for a moment, recalling what he often heard the elderly people saying at the matchmaking corner:
I really don't know what young people are thinking these days.

Luckily, he's a 90s kid, so he knows.

Perhaps God heard Zhang Zhe's heartfelt words, because the next woman to connect on the live stream was born in 85.

"Sister, were you born in '85?"

Zhang Zhe was stunned for a moment when he heard that. 85, that means he was already 40 years old.

People of this age speak in a surprisingly sweet and coquettish way.

They've been married once already, why do they sound like adults?
Zhang Zhe found it somewhat difficult to accept physically.

Of course, as a streamer, he will try his best to overcome:

"You're 40 years old and have already had a failed marriage, why do you still want to get married?"

"Can I explain the reason later?" the girl said in a childish voice. "I'd like to explain my situation first."

"OK, you can continue."

"Yes, although I am a little older, I take very good care of myself and weigh less than 100 pounds."

"What about height?"

"My height is 155 cm, but I am very well-proportioned."

"With your height, nobody usually pays attention to whether you are well-proportioned or not."

Zhang Zhe scratched his forehead. This woman was difficult to deal with; he didn't even want to bother making a record of her.

Because he could confidently predict that the other person had come to make a wish.

"What about your family background? What's your annual income and fixed assets?"

“My annual income is about 10 yuan, but I own a house in Shenghai, which I paid for in full and has no mortgage.”

"Approximately how much is the house worth?"

"About 300 million."

"..." Although Zhang Zhe hadn't paid attention to the housing prices in Shenghai, a 300 million yuan house in Shanghai might not be as comfortable as renting.
Given the current market conditions, it's uncertain whether her house can be sold for 250 million.

However, for an ordinary 40-year-old, a net worth of 300 million is not bad; many people can't save 100 million in their entire lives.

"What about your family background? Are your parents retired?"

"Yes, they are all ordinary retired workers whose income is only enough for their own retirement. I am an only child, but they will not leave me much property."

"Your biggest advantage right now is this house."

Zhang Zhe drew a circle on the house. If it were a 40-year-old man, he could indeed use a house to entice young girls from other places to get married.

However, if the genders were reversed, the woman's income wouldn't be enough.

"By the way, do you have children now?"

"And what were the reasons for the divorce?"
