Chapter 308 Finding a way to have a child first
She's 40 years old, which is considered nearing the end of her reproductive years by netizens, but in this mother's eyes, she's still a child...

As soon as the woman said that, Zhang Zhe became interested.

"Auntie, has your daughter come to the scene?"

“She used to come, but since she turned 35, she has stopped wanting to go on blind dates.”

"So you've been on blind dates before?" Zhang Zhe listened attentively. "All these years, you've never found someone you were satisfied with?"

"Actually, that's not it." The middle-aged woman shook her head and leaned forward slightly as she said, "She actually dated several men, but she managed to drive them all away."

“I’m her mother, I know her temper. Only true love can tolerate her. Any guy with a temper wouldn’t be able to stand her personality.”

“Her father and I have talked to her several times. She is stubborn. Later, she was probably pushed to the limit by us and said: Since only true love can tolerate her, then she will wait for true love to come to her.”

“Those who can’t tolerate her temper aren’t true love, so of course I can’t marry them.”

“Then she’ll probably have a hard time getting married,” Zhang Zhe said, looking directly into the woman’s eyes.

Listening to the aunt speak, you can clearly feel that she has a refined air about her, giving the impression of a Chinese language teacher who has taught for many years.

The atmosphere in her home, or rather, the living environment of her daughter, should be quite good.

With no pressure to survive, emotional support from her parents, and a closed-loop logic for choosing a partner, it's highly unlikely that the aunt's daughter will ever get married in this environment.

Unless this stable environment is disrupted.

The aunt seemed to realize this as well. She said to Zhang Zhe, "I know it's not easy for her to find someone at her age. If you ask her to find someone without children, given her age, it's still a question whether she can have children in the future."

"Find someone who can take care of children. She herself still has the mentality of a child. How can she be someone's stepmother?"

"But she has to get married. Her father has terminal cancer and might pass away at any time. And I'm getting old too."

"She'll be all alone then, and there are still decades to go. Will she be doing well?"

As the woman spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

Fortunately, Xia Yi was there, holding the old lady's hand tightly and constantly comforting her.

Zhang Zhe remained silent, and while the woman calmed down, he briefly studied the documents at hand.

Once the woman had calmed down, he spoke up: "Auntie, I just looked at some records from recent years of female teachers over 40 years old who have successfully gotten married through matchmaking."

There are only a few possibilities.

"The first type is to find a man in his forties who has been married once before and hopes that his next marriage will be as stable as possible, so he is willing to find a female teacher."

“In this situation, the man can accept that the woman will not have children after marriage, because most of them already have children, but the children live with their ex-wives.”

"Isn't this inappropriate?" The woman shook her head and said, "Matchmaker, do you mean the man's child lives with his ex-wife, and he's only getting married to find a companion?"

"Yes, that's roughly the idea."

“No, that won’t work. When a man gets old and wants to find his children to support him in his old age, his heart will be with his own children.”

“I have a colleague who was like that. When she was in her 50s, her husband divorced her and then remarried his ex-wife because their child kept trying to reunite his biological parents after they grew up.”

"Auntie, what you said makes sense." Zhang Zhe nodded in sudden realization. The auntie was indeed knowledgeable; this kind of situation could indeed happen.

"Then let me continue with the second situation, which, simply put, is about finding older single men, or to put it bluntly, old bachelors who have never been able to find a partner."

“In one of my cases, there was a woman born in 81 who ended up with a man born in 77. Neither of them had ever been married before. After marriage, they went through a lot of trouble and had to undergo IVF to have a child.” “Auntie, there’s a risk I need to point out to you here. In this situation, the man’s circumstances are definitely worse than the woman’s, and the ordeal of having a child is quite grueling for the woman.”

"If you don't have children in the end, the marriage will be very fragile."

"It's normal to suffer," the old woman sighed. "The ancients often said that one should endure hardship first and enjoy happiness later. She enjoyed all the happiness when she was young, so why would she have to suffer when she's old?"

"This is a little better than the previous situation, but actually..."

The woman thought for a moment, then stood up, supporting herself on the table, and waved to Zhang Zhe:
"Matchmaker, come here, I have something to ask you."

Zhang Zhe certainly wouldn't refuse. This aunt didn't seem to have any bad intentions. He couldn't very well ask him to put his ear close and then shout out as a prank.

After he leaned in, the woman whispered, "What do you think about finding a brothel so my daughter can have the baby first?"

"Those who have children at least have a sense of security, so it's okay if they don't get married."

“Okay,” Zhang Zhe replied quietly, his expression unchanged. “But once a child of unknown origin is born, it will be even more difficult for them to get married later.”

"I know, but it's the only way we can do it."

"Auntie, if you're so open-minded, I actually have an even better idea."

Zhang Zhe gestured for the woman to sit down and chat.
"If your children are the most important thing to you, then why not find a son-in-law who will live with you in your family?"

"My family's circumstances aren't good enough to attract a son-in-law to live with us," the woman said, shaking her head.

“It has nothing to do with conditions, as long as you pay.” Zhang Zhe explained, “The current sex databases in China are not open to single women. If you want to do this, you can only go to Hong Kong.”

"There seems to be a way to circumvent it over there, but it must cost a lot of money."

"With this money, you can use it as a bride price and definitely find a son-in-law who is good-looking and intelligent."

"Do we give the groom a bride price?" The older woman was a little surprised, perhaps because she was unfamiliar with the custom of sons-in-law living with their wives' families.

But upon closer reflection, it becomes clear that it's simply a gender-swapped version of a normal romantic relationship.

“Auntie, if you’re worried that your son-in-law will take advantage of your family’s wealth, you can even sign a prenuptial agreement and then get a divorce when the child is a few years old.”

"People's views on marriage and relationships are much more open than before. As long as the money is right, it's easy to reach an agreement on these things."

"Let me think about it. Matchmaker, please wait a moment while I sort it out."

The aunt waved her hand, telling Zhang Zhe not to speak yet; she felt this plan was very suitable for her daughter.

While she's still healthy, she might be able to help take care of her grandson after her daughter gets married.

As she was thinking, the woman suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Zhang Zhe.

"Thank you, Matchmaker Zhang."

"Your method has really helped me a lot. Where is your matchmaking agency? I want to go and present you with a banner when my daughter gets married."

"Auntie, you're too kind." Zhang Zhe quickly helped the aunt up, while giving Xia Yi a wink.

The latter quickly handed over the matchmaking agency's business card.

Money doesn't matter, but we absolutely must have these banners; every banner represents a good deed.
