I, reborn, really don't want to be a matchmaker!

These words surprised the relatives and friends eating in the main room. Only Pan Daju was overjoyed, and her gaze towards Zhao Hu changed.

"It's over, it's over." Qin Chaoyang covered his forehead, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Wang Xiaoli was also somewhat taken aback: "Zhao Hu, are you sure you're not joking? Are you sure you're getting engaged to my cousin today?"

"Of course I'm sure," Zhao Hu replied.

"Then I'll have someone invite your parents over," Wang Xiaoli said seriously. "If your parents agree, then today, in front of all these relatives and friends, we'll finalize the matter between you and my cousin."

In the countryside.

Once things are settled, they're practically husband and wife.

Zhao Hu was naturally aware of this.

He put down his chopsticks and ran outside: "I don't trust anyone else to handle asking my parents to come; I'll go myself!"

Wang Xiaoli: "..."

Qin Chaoyang: "..."

Pan Daju lowered her head shyly.

Her parents were also very happy.

After all, Pan Daju is already twenty-one this year.

Previously, due to body shape and appearance.

There were very few matchmakers who came to propose marriage.

Now that I've been chosen right after meeting him, it's impossible for me not to be happy.

But Wang Xiaoli was in a real bind. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she dragged Qin Chaoyang to the backyard: "What do we do now? If Zhao Hu finds out that my cousin isn't Li Mei, he might skin me alive!"

"What are you afraid of? You didn't say Li Mei was your cousin, and neither did I. It's just Zhao Hu's own assumption." Qin Chaoyang rubbed his temples. "Let's just let things take their course. We'll scold Zhao Hu when things come to light."

"Insult Zhao Hu???" Wang Xiaoli asked, puzzled.

"Yes, scold Zhao Hu." Qin Chaoyang nodded: "After all, the blind date we told him about was your cousin Pan Daju, not Li Mei."

"We never mentioned the name Li Mei from beginning to end; he was the one who got lustful and had impure thoughts."

"What if there's no mistake?" Wang Xiaoli suggested another possibility.

"How could we not be exposed? Do you think Zhao Hu is blind?" Qin Chaoyang replied with a wry smile, "If we weren't going to be exposed, then we'd just keep quiet and not say anything, understand?"

"Understood." Wang Xiaoli nodded, then turned and led Qin Chaoyang toward the main room.

After eating and chatting for a while in the main room, Zhao Hu brought his parents along.

Zhao Hu's parents were honest people. When they saw that their son liked Pan Daju, they didn't say anything and agreed to the marriage in front of everyone present.

This agreement.

Zhao Hu was incredibly excited.

He picked up his wine glass and drank three glasses in a row.

After three cups of baijiu (Chinese liquor)...

He was so drunk he could barely stand.

Pan Daju's parents had no choice but to personally approach Zhao Hu's parents to discuss the engagement, with Qin Chaoyang, the matchmaker, standing by as a witness.

Being a witness is no easy task, because if he is exposed, he will definitely be in trouble with Zhao Hu.

But now that things have come to this, Qin Chaoyang has no choice but to bite the bullet and act as a witness, and accept the red envelope.

I thought I could just get through today like this.

What Qin Chaoyang didn't expect was...

The engagement has been agreed upon.

Pan Daju actually went home with Zhao Hu on her back.

This is not Pan Daju's home.

It was Zhao Hu's house.

After returning to Zhao Hu's house and settling the unconscious Zhao Hu down, Pan Daju went to the fields to help Zhao Hu's parents with farm work.

At night, he even slept in the same bed with Zhao Hu, who was still asleep.

When Wang Xiaoli returned from her job search and heard this news, she was extremely distressed.

But now that things have come to this, what can she do but pretend she knows nothing?

The next morning, Zhao Hu woke up and was completely stunned to see the burly, imposing Pan Daju lying next to him. He then screamed as if he'd seen a ghost, "Who...who are you? What are you doing in my bed?"

"I'm your blind date, Pan Daju!" Pan Daju replied with a smile, "I carried you home after you drank too much yesterday, how could you forget?"

"No... Pan Daju is not... I... you..." Zhao Hu held his head, incoherent and unable to say anything properly.

"It's nothing!" Pan Daju reached out and hugged Zhao Hu. "It's still early, go back to sleep."

"Don't hug me, I don't know you." Zhao Hu was so frightened that he pushed Pan Daju away. "I'm going to find Qin Chaoyang, I'm going to find Wang Xiaoli."

"They lied to me, they're big liars."

"What did I lie to you about?" Zhao Hu's mother heard the noise and pushed the door open to come in: "Wang Xiaoli's cousin is Pan Daju. I found out about that yesterday."

"How come you went crazy after just one night's sleep?"

"Did I...did I sleep with her?" Zhao Hu pointed at Pan Daju, his eyes filled with terror.

This damn drinking is a disaster, a real disaster!

"Yes, I'm asleep." Pan Daju nodded.

"Now you have to agree, whether you like it or not." Zhao Hu's mother rolled her eyes at Zhao Hu. "Get up quickly. Take the cigarettes and alcohol to Qin Chaoyang's house to express your gratitude while the weather is nice today."

"I'm not going." Zhao Hu was almost in tears.

Qin Chaoyang lied to him.

He should go and express his gratitude.

No way.

"Are you going or not?" Zhao Hu's mother picked up a bamboo stick and lashed out. "Let me tell you, Qin Chaoyang and Zhao Mudan have gone to great lengths for your marriage."

"If you don't go..."

"Don't acknowledge me as your mother anymore."

Zhao Hu had no choice but to grit his teeth in frustration.

He had no choice but to admit defeat, get up and wash up, then take the cigarettes, alcohol and other gifts, and take Pan Daju by shortcut to Qin Chaoyang's house.

Taking the shortcut would mean passing by Wang Xiaoli's house. Zhao Hu originally wanted to take a detour, but Pan Daju was not happy about it.

Before Zhao Hu could agree, Pan Daju walked into Wang Xiaoli's house: "Cousin, are you up yet?"

"I got up a long time ago," Wang Xiaoli said as she ran out of the west room.

Seeing Zhao Hu standing in the threshing ground with a resentful look on his face, she told her parents to take good care of Pan Daju, and then she walked towards where Zhao Hu was.

"You damn liar!" Zhao Hu couldn't help but curse as he saw Wang Xiaoli walking towards him.

"Where did I lie to you?" Wang Xiaoli asked, amused.

"Are you kidding me? Your cousin is clearly the girl with the beautiful eyes, but look what happened! I woke up one morning and turned into Li Kui." Zhao Hu got angrier and angrier as he spoke, and almost cursed at the end.

Li Kui refers to Pan Daju.

Although Wang Xiaoli understood, she didn't bother to argue: "Zhao Hu, don't lie through your teeth. There is indeed a girl with very beautiful eyes around me these past few days, but she is not my cousin. She is my colleague at the steel pipe factory, named Li Mei."

"It's your own fault for always treating Li Mei as my cousin, so it's not my fault that things have turned out this way."

"You can't blame Qin Chaoyang, the matchmaker, even more."

"Because from beginning to end, the person who introduced you to the matchmaker was my cousin, Pan Daju."

"What did you say? The girl next to you is called Li Mei? No... is she your cousin?" Zhao Hu staggered two steps, looking utterly dejected.
