Courtyard House: Report enemy agents at the start, and you'll take off immediately.

That's absolutely shocking!

despite this.

He Yushui couldn't deny that Zhao De's words made a lot of sense, and she even expressed her agreement.

Early Tuesday morning.

Zhao De happily began his second sign-in.

......................

[Host has received today's sign-in reward: 200 yuan in cash, 30 jin of beef, 30 jin of mutton, 50 grass carp, 50 crucian carp, one watch coupon, and one bad luck function card.]

Various items were automatically stored in the system space, among which Zhao De was most concerned about the function card.

However, this time it's not a card that reveals your inner thoughts.

Bad Luck Card: Valid for one day, and will bring a string of bad luck for 24 hours after use.

The meaning of the name is quite clear: this card is naturally used to deal with others.

Zhao De hadn't yet decided who to use it for—whether it was for the deaf old woman or for Yi Zhonghai.

Or should we wait until the Jia family returns before giving it to Jia Zhangshi?

As for the third uncle, Zhao De thought it would be a waste to give him the title.

Let’s talk about it later!

This morning, Zhao De had an important matter to attend to—he needed to find a matchmaker to propose marriage to Yu Li's family.

Zhao De rode his bicycle amidst the envious gazes of the crowd.

I went to the factory first and asked for a day off.

......................

They then sped off to the home of Aunt Wang, the most famous matchmaker in the area.

"Hey, Zhao De's here! Come in, come in!"

Aunt Wang smiled broadly. Indeed, this matchmaking arrangement seemed like an easy way to make money.

Before anyone could even ask her for help, the other party had already come to her door on their own initiative.

Zhao De simply pulled out five yuan.

"Aunt Wang, I've come to you to ask you to act as a matchmaker for me."

"This is the deposit. I'll give you another five dollars if things go smoothly."

The current rate for matchmakers is roughly five yuan.

Zhao De directly offered double the price.

There was no other way; if they didn't give more, the matchmaker might not be willing to help intercept Yu Li.

"Young people are really generous."

Aunt Wang's eyes narrowed into slits with delight as she deftly pocketed the five yuan.

This reminded Aunt Wang of the previous matchmaking incident.

By comparison, that person is such a stingy person!

"Tell me, which family's girl have you taken a fancy to? Or do you want me to pick one for you?"

Zhao De didn't waste any more words.

......................

"Her name is Yu Li, the girl you introduced to Yan Jiecheng before."

"You're interested in her?"

Aunt Wang's expression became somewhat subtle.

"Can't we use someone else?"

So that's why they gave me an extra five yuan!

If we really help Zhao De snatch Yu Li away from Yan Jiecheng.

I'm afraid Yan Jiecheng will cause a scene then, ruining the matchmaker's reputation.

"Aunt Wang, it's not as complicated as you think. Yan Jiecheng and you haven't reached an agreement yet, have you?"

"I heard it's been dragging on for a month already."

"As long as you can convince the woman's side to change their minds, and then introduce me to them, that will be fine."

Aunt Wang nodded, agreeing with what Zhao De said.

.......................

Chapter Fifteen: Snatch Yu Li away, the sooner the better!

Aunt Wang didn't respond, but waited for Zhao De to continue.

So Zhao De continued:

"My qualifications are as follows: I am 24 years old this year and work as a forger in the third workshop of the steel rolling mill."

"My monthly salary is 42 yuan. My family owns a courtyard house with two main rooms."

"My parents have both passed away, and I am all alone."

"And you know what happened yesterday."

"In addition, the factory and the neighborhood committee also gave me some material rewards..."

"I bought two more bicycles and a sewing machine, and I'm planning to buy a watch today..."

"In addition to the compensation I received from the factory when my parents passed away, and the money I saved from my own work."

"I now have nearly a thousand yuan in savings..."

...................

After hearing the conditions listed by Zhao De, Aunt Wang couldn't help but sigh and say:

"With your qualifications, you don't necessarily need to marry Yu Li. You'll have girls vying to marry you wherever you go."

"Yu Li is just from a family where both parents work."

"Putting this person aside, he's actually quite average in other aspects."

"In my opinion, someone with your qualifications could easily find someone better!"

Aunt Wang's words made Zhao De hesitate, and he couldn't help but ask:

"Do you have someone here who is more suitable than me?"

"There are two."

Aunt Wang continued:

"One is a female singer in a performing arts troupe, and the other is a female doctor in a hospital."

......................

Aunt Wang was thinking that instead of snatching Yu Li away, she should introduce another one to Zhao De.

This way, I can make two deals.

"Forget it, I'll choose Yu Li!"

Upon hearing that Aunt Wang mentioned the professions of female singer and female doctor, Zhao De made a decision without hesitation.

He felt that these two professions were not suitable for a comfortable life.

Seeing Zhao De's resolute attitude, Aunt Wang had no choice but to compromise:

"Alright then, I'll go to Yu Li's house to gather information for you."

"If everything goes well, I'll look for you in the yard."

"Aunt Wang, thank you for your help."

"If we can arrange to meet today and get our marriage certificate this afternoon, I'll give you two grass carp."

Zhao De was hoping to get the marriage certificate today.

The wedding can be held tomorrow.

I'm already looking forward to the baby's arrival the day after tomorrow.

Make life prosperous and thriving as soon as possible.

Therefore, he had many things to prepare.
