Renting a young, attractive woman to take home for the Chinese New Year infuriates the entire villag

What I feared most came to pass.

Jiang Chen's parents heard the sound and quickly went to greet them, while his third aunt walked in with a big smile on her face.

Behind her followed a woman wearing a red cashmere coat, with big wavy hair and a face covered in foundation as thick as putty.

Although she was dressed up in a flamboyant manner, the crow's feet around her eyes and her mean-spirited expression were impossible to hide.

The key point is, her figure is absolutely stunning.

She is shorter than Sun Mengjia, but her size is more than twice that of Sun Mengjia.

Although Sun Mengjia is 1.67 meters tall and weighs only 80 kilograms, she is indeed a bit thin.

But this woman is a bit too fat.

What's worse, she was holding the hand of a chubby little boy of five or six years old, who was eating a sausage with his mouth full of oil.

Auntie San acted as if she hadn't seen Sun Mengjia at all, and directly pulled the woman to Jiang Chen with a look of smug satisfaction:

"Come and see, this is the Lina I told you about, Liu Lina."

"His father is the Party Secretary of our village, and he also has a master's degree."

"Lina, this is Jiang Chen, the one I told you about. He's a programmer at a big company, earning hundreds of thousands a year. My nephew is honest and family-oriented. He just came home and bought his dad a car worth 400,000 yuan."

"This is your uncle and aunt."

The woman named Liu Lina looked Jiang Chen up and down with the same scrutinizing gaze one would give a piece of merchandise, then curled her lip in disapproval.

"She's alright looking."

As he spoke, he took out a pack of wet wipes from his bag and carefully wiped the middle of the sofa three times before reluctantly sitting down, his tone condescending.

"My aunt said you work in Hangzhou?"

Jiang Chen frowned, then nodded politely: "Mm."

"Hangzhou is great, a big city. I heard you haven't bought a house yet?"

Jiang Chen nodded.

A sense of helplessness arises.

This is what blind dates are like: either the two people are just awkwardly waiting for each other, or it's just a background check, with no feelings involved at all.

Just then, the chubby boy jumped onto the single sofa next to him with his shoes on and started randomly pressing buttons on the remote control.

"Cough cough..."

Jiang Chen's parents were a little embarrassed, but they still politely served tea and water.

"Come on, have some fruit and tea."

Liu Lina picked up an orange, peeled it, and said disdainfully, "How long has this tea been sitting here?"

Jiang Chen's mother quickly replied, "It was just brewed."

She didn't speak, but instead glanced at the cars parked outside before looking at Jiang Chen: "Have you saved enough money to buy a house? Loans don't count, I don't live in a house with a mortgage."

"Houses in Jiangcheng are so expensive, how much will I have to pay each month? If all my money goes to the mortgage, how will I live?"

Jiang Chen's aunt quickly explained, "Chenchen works at a big factory and can earn hundreds of thousands a year, so he's not worried about not being able to pay off the mortgage."

Liu Lina curled her lip, her tone carrying a hint of nonchalant superiority: "What big factory or small factory? It's all just a job that relies on youth."

"I saw in the news that programmers are being laid off at 35. You're 29 this year, right? You'll be 30 after the New Year. How many more years can you work?"

Jiang Chen's lips twitched, and he was speechless.

Is this a chat or a troublemaker?

Just then, she suddenly looked at Sun Mengjia and frowned, then looked at her third aunt and asked, "Who is this? Isn't he an only child?"

Auntie San explained awkwardly, "This is a relative's child."

Sun Mengjia glanced at Jiang Chen, pursed her lips, and said nothing.

Upon hearing that Sun Mengjia was a relative's child, Liu Lina completely ignored her.

Casually picking at her nails, she said indifferently, "Alright, let's stop beating around the bush."

"Your aunt has told me about your situation. Although you have a rural household registration and your parents don't have a pension, at least you can earn some money yourself. I'm not a materialistic person; as long as the person is good, I'm not picky."

Jiang Chen sneered inwardly: You're not picky?

Why are you asking about tea and buying a house outright without even looking at the details?

Liu Lina crossed her legs and said casually:

"Since we're getting married, we have to buy a house in Hangzhou. You know I'm used to living in an apartment building in town, I can't live in a bungalow or rent a place with you."

"Let's not talk about whether it's full payment or not, but it has to be a school district property. My son is about to start elementary school, and we can't let him lose at the starting line."

"Also, my name has to be added to the house deed, otherwise I don't feel safe."

"You know I'm divorced, I've been hurt, and I know you men are unreliable. Without a house to rely on, how can I entrust my future to you?"

"As a man, you have to make me feel safe, right?"

The room was deathly silent.

Even Jiang Chen's parents were stunned.

Before anything even happened, they immediately demanded a school district property in Hangzhou and wanted to add your name to the deed.

Do you know how much that costs?

Why should I?!

Upon entering the house, without a word of greeting, he sat there arrogantly and demanded a car and a house. Jiang Chen's parents were so angry that they almost cursed.

Before Jiang Chen could speak, Liu Lina glanced through the window at the brand-new Wenjie M9 and Formula Leopard in the yard.

"Did you buy those two cars in the yard?"

"Um."

"It looks alright, and it's quite big. But I don't like domestic cars, especially electric ones. They look cheap, and they're mostly driven by people using ride-hailing services like Didi."

"When we get married, you have to buy me a BMW, Mercedes-Benz, or Audi, and put it in my name. A BMW 5 Series or a Mercedes-Benz E-Class is fine, I'm not picky. I'm a pretty traditional person, I only care about the brand, it'll make me look good."

"And one more thing..."

Completely ignoring the increasingly dark expressions on the faces of those around her, she continued, "After we get married, you'll have to hand over your salary card. Men with money tend to go bad, so I'll have to manage it for you."

"Besides, you can't force me to go to work. I need to take care of the children wholeheartedly. After all, the children's education is the most important thing. You don't want the children to have a bad education in the future, do you?"

As for having children...

She patted the head of the chubby little boy next to her who was spitting sausage skins onto the ground, her face full of affection.

"I don't want to have any more children. Childbirth is too painful, and I have enough with just one. I want to give him all my love, and having another child would take away his love, which wouldn't be fair to him."

"You have to understand me on this point."

After she finished speaking, she raised her head, like a queen waiting for her subjects to express their gratitude.

"My request isn't unreasonable, is it? After all, I'm a graduate student, and I'm marrying an undergraduate like you. It's like I'm marrying down."

"As long as you agree to these things, I'll just symbolically accept a dowry of 380,000 yuan. It's not about the money; it's about your attitude."

Jiang Chen looked at the extremely trusting woman in front of him and laughed in exasperation.

He ignored Liu Lina and turned to look at his third aunt, his eyes icy cold.

"Third Aunt, is she looking for a boyfriend, or a turtle from the wishing well?"

"This isn't about finding a husband; it's about finding a nanny and an ATM, and she also has to be her son's stepfather on the side."

"How dare you speak like that!" Auntie San's expression changed.

"What the girl said makes sense. Who doesn't buy a house when they get married these days? They don't expect you to pay in full, what more do you want?"

"A bride price of 380,000 yuan isn't much. Who doesn't ask for a bride price when getting married?"

"Aside from these two, there's nothing else."

"You have a car, so you can just sell it and get a Mercedes or BMW instead. I've already told your dad that this car is embarrassing to drive, so it's good to get a new one."

"It must be so tiring for you to drive to work in Hangzhou. It's much more convenient to take the bus or subway. That's how we've been doing it for so many years."

"His father is the village chief, he receives a government salary and a pension, so maybe he can help you out sometime."

Dad finally couldn't help but scoff, "What if you don't want children?"

Auntie San smiled awkwardly: "That talk about not wanting children is just a figure of speech. We don't even know the two kids yet, so how can we talk about wanting or not wanting children? Once we're married, we'll have them."

Liu Lina corrected, "Even if we get married, I don't want him. He's the only one who loves my son. If we have our own child, he'll only love his own son."

Just then.

Sun Mengjia, who had been sitting silently in the corner, slowly stood up.

She cracked her wrists, making a series of sharp "crack" sounds, and then gave a chilling smile.

"A school district property in Hangzhou, and they're even putting it in your name?"

"Do I have to buy you a BMW, Mercedes-Benz, or Audi?"

"You're handing over your salary, and you're still not having kids?"

"Hey lady, did you forget to take your medicine before you left home?"

"With your looks, you dare to marry down? I bet you've taken too much oxytocin and your brain's turned into a pig's!"
