Chapter 229 When the Matchmaker Cuts Off a Marriage
"I think the problem with you, sister, lies in your mindset."

Xia Yi finally couldn't hold back anymore:
"Happiness is something you lose a little bit every time you compare yourself to others. The more you compare, the less happy you will feel."

"You could talk to your husband and lower your income expectations, ask him to take a lower-paying, local job so you can spend more time together."

"Divorce is not always necessary."

"Thank you, sister, but I've already tried the method you suggested."

The woman's gaze darted back and forth between Zhang Zhe and Xia Yi, her expression revealing undisguised envy.

"You and Zhang the matchmaker, you must be a couple, right? Your situation is very similar to when I first married my husband."

"It's that feeling of overflowing happiness."

"Hmm—" Xia Yi covered her mouth and laughed, unconsciously moving closer to Zhang Zhe.

Zhang Zhe, of course, wasn't shy at all. He reached behind him and grabbed Xia Yi's hand.

"I really envy you guys. I've experienced that kind of love before, but if I had to choose now, I would still choose the one with better material conditions."

"..." Zhang Zhe and Xia Yi exchanged a glance, both speechless.

The expressions on their faces were exactly the same:
Is this woman even speaking human language?
We have such a good relationship, and she suddenly said something like that. Is she out of her mind?
Now, Xia Yi didn't want to talk to this older woman anymore. Let her be. Whether she got a divorce or not, she couldn't be bothered with this kind of person.

Zhang Zhe, however, analyzed the situation seriously, saying:

"Basically, when married women come to me for consultation and say they want a divorce or want to break up, I advise them to just break up."

"Because this is what you think in your heart. The reason you're struggling now is simply because you're afraid you've made the wrong choice."

"But since you already feel that you made the wrong choice in marrying your husband and regret it, then you might as well make the same mistake again."

"Yes, that makes sense." The woman nodded. "Thank you, Brother Zhang. You're right. I do want a divorce, but I'm a little scared."

"Now I understand, I do have the capacity to make another mistake. If I make another mistake this time, I'll accept my fate."

"Fine, but once you're out, don't say I was the one who advised you to get a divorce." Zhang Zhe had a strong survival instinct: "I don't want your two families blocking my door."

"No, I'll explain it to my husband." The woman stood up, straightened her clothes, and thanked Zhang Zhe sincerely.

Judging from her behavior, she'll probably file for divorce soon after she gets back.

Xia Yi had originally intended to help with the delivery, but remembering the woman's somewhat provocative words, she sat down again.

When Zhang Zhe returned, she quickly went over to ask:
"Aren't you afraid that her husband will come knocking on your door and cause you trouble if you directly advise her to get a divorce?"

“Her husband has handed over all the money he worked so hard to earn. Now that they’re getting a divorce, he might lose both his wife and his money. In his anxiety and anger, he came here.”

“It’s okay. Even though he’s divorced, he still has a job that pays 30 yuan a year.” Zhang Zhe said easily, “The fact that he can earn that much money means he’s at least somewhat smart.”

"A fool can't earn this much money by working. Even Fan Xiaoqin might not have this ability."

“He should be able to understand that I am just a matchmaker, not Ximen Qing, and I didn’t break them up.”

"Really?" Xia Yi said with a mischievous smile, "But her husband hands over his salary."

"I remember someone saying during a live stream that it's a sign of a man being brainless to hand over his salary after marriage."

“He’s different.” Zhang Zhe laughed after saying this.

But they are indeed different.

Because his marriage started from love, and the couple struggled together for several years.

“He handed over his salary because he felt that he and his wife had been together since their student days, which made them different from other couples.”

"Now it turns out that nothing has changed, and society has taught him a lesson." "Besides, if he really comes to confront me, I can turn him into a client. With his annual income, he's just over thirty, and he doesn't have any children, so it's still easy for him to find a wife in our area."

"He could even find a girl who is younger than his wife, has a similar annual income, and doesn't have to hand over his salary."

This man does have one redeeming quality: he hasn't given up on his career.

This is a blessing in misfortune.

This way, at least after his wife takes half of the family fortune, he will still have the ability to live a good life.

After listening to Zhang Zhe's words, Xia Yi thought for a while, then tugged at Zhang Zhe's sleeve somewhat shyly and whispered:
"Did I do something wrong just now?"

"I even advised that lady not to get a divorce, but after hearing what you said, I suddenly feel like I've hurt two people."

“There is a tiny mistake, but it’s not a big problem,” Zhang Zhe comforted him. “You and I should both remember that we are just matchmakers.”

"We are just offering suggestions; it's not that people will necessarily follow our advice."

"Think about it, if we let that woman go back and get a divorce, and she really brings up divorce, won't her elders, relatives and friends, and her husband all try to persuade her or try to win her back?"

"There should be at least a 30-day cooling-off period for divorce."

"If she still got divorced after that, then it means she really should have."

"But if the divorce doesn't go through, for example, if her husband awakens the goodness and beauty in her heart, wouldn't that indirectly help their marriage by removing a thorn in its side?"

“Oh right.” Xia Yi’s eyes lit up. “I understand now. So, advising us to break up is the right thing to do.”

"At least during a divorce, the couple can talk things out openly, which is a form of communication!"

“That’s how it is.” Zhang Zhe smiled knowingly. “But this is matchmaking. If people around you ask you, don’t just advise them to break up.”

"I know, do you think I'm stupid?" Xia Yi snorted arrogantly.

"How could that be? You're incredibly smart."

"Haha, that's more like it."

Xia Yi glanced at the time and realized it was time to go back, so she quickly took out a piece of paper from her pocket and stuffed it into Zhang Zhe's hand.

He then grasped his hand and said, "Wait until I leave before you look at it."

"Now, it's your turn to take me home."

"Okay, Miss Xia." Zhang Zhe teased her playfully, picked up Xia Yi's bag, and saw her out.

……

After dropping Xia Yi off at home, Zhang Zhe returned to the matchmaking agency and saw the note the other party had just slipped to her.

It wasn't a love letter, which disappointed Zhang Zhe a little.

But it was not much different from a love letter. It contained Xia Yi's description of her mother's hobbies and the things she disliked.

Zhang Zhe only learned from Xia Yi's report that Xia Yi's mother also worked as a matchmaker at the school and was very enthusiastic about introducing potential partners to her young colleagues.

However, since Xia Yi graduated with her master's degree, her mother has stopped acting as a matchmaker.

Xia Yi's maternal grandmother often complained that it was because she, as her mother, frequently acted as a matchmaker that her daughter's marriage prospects were delayed.

Xia Yi meant that Zhang Zhe should be careful tomorrow and not say things like "I'll be a matchmaker for life," because she was afraid that her mother and grandmother would think the same way and worry that being a matchmaker would affect the next generation.
