A few minutes later, two large bowls of fish noodles were brought over, and they sat down at the table to eat with Aunt Zhao.

After eating, they rested for a few minutes before walking to Grandpa Wang's lover's house.

Grandpa Wang's sweetheart's surname is Chen and her given name is Yumi. She is seventy years old this year.

The family's financial situation in the area along the Dayu River was just barely enough to make ends meet.

She had six children in total, of whom the eldest and third children have passed away.

Now I live with my youngest child, who is also taking care of me in my old age.

As for the other children, due to some conflicts, they only visit each other during holidays.

In other words, Grandpa Wang's lover, Chen Yumi, is not doing well right now.

If things were going well, they wouldn't be fighting like this with their children, living in the mud-brick house of their youngest son.

Moreover, the mud-brick house is quite old, and the west wall even has cracks.

Upon approaching and witnessing this scene, Qin Chaoyang frowned deeply.

Aunt Zhao sighed as she saw Chen Yumei's youngest son, Zhang Haicheng, chopping firewood at the door, and she walked over with Qin Chaoyang.

Zhang Haicheng was very tall, at least 1.8 meters tall, and he was wearing patched clothes and his hands were covered in calluses.

Seeing Aunt Zhao come over again, and this time with a handsome young man by her side, she couldn't help but frown: "Why are you here again? Didn't I make it clear to you the other day? My mother can't remarry."

"We're not here to play matchmaker today, but to ask you a few questions." Qin Chaoyang pulled up a small stool and sat down beside him. "If you answer truthfully, I promise I'll never come here again."

"Then ask." Zhang Haicheng put down the axe in his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Where do you work?" Qin Chaoyang asked with a smile.

"Huh?" Zhang Haicheng was a little confused. "No, are you here to check my household registration? Why are you asking me where I work and what I do?"

Aunt Zhao was also a little confused.

But she didn't interrupt.

"You don't need to know that. Just answer truthfully," Qin Chaoyang replied.

"I don't have a job now, I'm farming at home," Zhang Haicheng replied truthfully after hesitating for several seconds.

"And what about your wife? Where does she work?" Qin Chaoyang asked again.

"She stays home with the kids and doesn't work. What do you mean? Why are you asking these questions?" Zhang Haicheng asked, frowning.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to tell you that you've lost two secure jobs." After saying this, Qin Chaoyang turned and left with Aunt Zhao.

"Hey! Hey! Can't you explain yourself clearly?" Zhang Haicheng was taken aback and chased after Qin Chaoyang, reaching out to grab him.

"I really can't say that, because it's related to your mother, Chen Yumi," Qin Chaoyang replied softly to Zhang Haicheng.

"How did this get involved with my mom again?" Zhang Haicheng scratched his head in confusion.

"Because your and your wife's secure jobs require your mother's approval," Qin Chaoyang leaned against a nearby pomelo tree. "But unfortunately, you won't let your mother be with Grandpa Wang, so..."

Speaking of which...

Qin Chaoyang didn't continue.

But the meaning behind those words was all too clear.

After realizing what was happening, Zhang Haicheng frowned deeply.

But this time he didn't yell and kick him out. Instead, he hesitated and asked Qin Chaoyang, "Are you... are you sure Grandpa Wang has that much ability?"

"What's there to be unsure about? As long as you treat Grandpa Wang well, getting a job will be a piece of cake." Qin Chaoyang looked at Zhang Haicheng: "But you can't tell your other brothers and sisters about this. You should understand why."

"But...but..." Zhang Haicheng hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.

"Are you worried that your other siblings will come and cause trouble?" Qin Chaoyang asked with a smile.

"Mm." Zhang Haicheng nodded.

After all, his mother wasn't just his mother.

With such benefits, it's impossible for him to enjoy them all by himself.

"What right do they have to make a fuss? You're the only one supporting your mother now, and you're responsible for all her health problems," Qin Chaoyang reminded her. "Grandpa Wang definitely knows about this. If you hesitate any longer, you'll miss your chance."

"Then can you let me go back and discuss it with my wife?" Zhang Haicheng asked anxiously.

Clearly, Qin Chaoyang's words were not alarmist, but factual.

"Okay! I'll wait for you here." Qin Chaoyang agreed: "If you don't come out in ten minutes, I'm leaving."

"Okay! Okay!" Zhang Haicheng ran off to find his wife.

It took about two or three minutes.

Zhang Haicheng then ran out the door with his wife.

Behind the couple were a pair of emaciated siblings.

"How did the discussion go?" Qin Chaoyang went up to greet him.

"My wife means that as long as Grandpa Wang can help her find a stable job, then... then my mother marrying him is no problem," Zhang Haicheng replied hesitantly.

"Then wait for my good news at home," Qin Chaoyang said with a smile. "If nothing unexpected happens, I'll give you a definite answer before noon."

"Okay! Okay!" Zhang Haicheng nodded.

"Aunt Zhao, let's go back! Let's talk to Grandpa Wang." Qin Chaoyang glanced at the sky and led Aunt Zhao toward the path ahead.

Along the way, seeing that no one else was around, Aunt Zhao asked in a low voice, "Xiao Jiang, Grandpa Wang is usually very frugal and doesn't have many relatives or friends. Are you... are you sure he can help Zhang Haicheng and his wife find a stable job?"

If not.

Then you'll be caught in the middle, pleasing neither side.

"Aunt Zhang, as long as the personal information about Grandpa Wang that you gave me is correct, I can guarantee that finding jobs for Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Haicheng will definitely be successful," Qin Chaoyang replied confidently.

joke.

It's 1988 now.

Grandpa Wang is a retired soldier.

Based on the timeline, they are definitely players who joined the game at launch.

If such a heroic figure can't even handle the jobs of two ordinary people, what kind of person would he be?

"Grandpa Wang's personal information is of course not a problem," Aunt Zhao assured her.

If she didn't know him well, and if she didn't feel sorry for Grandpa Wang, she wouldn't want to get involved in this mess today!

"No problem, let's go find Grandpa Wang then," Qin Chaoyang suggested.

"Okay! Okay!" Aunt Zhao led the way.

After about ten minutes, the two of them arrived at the door of a blue brick house.

The brick house wasn't large, and there was a peach tree in full bloom at the entrance.

On the open space to the right, an elderly man with graying temples was practicing Tai Chi.

This old man is Grandpa Wang.

When Grandpa Wang saw Aunt Zhao bringing Qin Chaoyang, a strange young man, he was taken aback and immediately stopped practicing his Tai Chi: "Didn't you go to the market today? Why are you back so early?"

"I've come to discuss my marriage with you," Aunt Zhao replied.

"What?" Grandpa Wang frowned. "Didn't Yumi's children disagree with this? Why are you still making a fuss?"
