Courtyard Houses: Starting with the principle of hard work paying off

Chapter 84 Amazing Move

Jia family.

Just as Xu Damao was "tattling" to Qin Huairu outside the courtyard, revealing the Jia family's shortcomings and even exposing their secrets, while Qin Huairu went to the toilet, Jia Zhangshi deliberately avoided Jia Dongxu and secretly expressed her thoughts to Matchmaker Sun.

"Sister Zhang, isn't this inappropriate?"

Upon hearing Jia Zhangshi's plan, Matchmaker Sun's face turned extremely ugly. She directly questioned Jia Zhangshi, "We clearly agreed that the blind date would be with someone from the countryside, which is why I accepted the job. Now you want to marry a city woman? Aren't you going back on your word and deliberately playing me for a fool?"

No wonder Matchmaker Sun was so angry.

The news of Jia Dongxu's current situation has already spread.

In addition, the Jia family mother and son were very picky and difficult to please, which was no secret in their matchmaking circle.

Earlier, when Jia Dongxu was looking for a partner, he had already offended several matchmakers and was blacklisted, and was not well received by them.

As matchmakers, we are both competitors and sometimes partners, occasionally exchanging information and even sharing resources.

This time, Jia Dongxu was going on another blind date. He contacted several matchmakers, but none of them were willing to take his business. Finally, he turned to her.

Sun, the matchmaker, was initially reluctant to take the job, as she knew the Jia family's situation and didn't want to ruin her reputation. However, she couldn't resist the fact that Jia Zhangshi had offered double the price this time.

Knowing Jia Dongxu's current situation, it wouldn't be easy for him to find a wife in the city. Matchmaker Sun didn't want to cheat people, so she told Jia Zhangshi and the others in advance to look for a wife in the countryside.

Based on this premise, Matchmaker Sun was willing to step forward.

The first matchmaker she found for the Jia family was Qin Huairu. Matchmaker Sun had put in a lot of effort, and it was well worth the double price that Jia Zhangshi had paid.

Apart from not being a city girl, Qin Huairu was top-notch in every way in the eyes of Matchmaker Sun.

Needless to say, his appearance is...

Knowing that Jia Dongxu had high standards in this regard, and that the previous failures were mainly due to these issues, Matchmaker Sun naturally attached great importance to this point.

Qin Huairu's diligence and hard work are well-known in Qin Family Village.

Moreover, her figure clearly indicates she's fertile; she'll definitely have no problem having a son in the future.

If it weren't for Qin Huairu's high aspirations and her desire to marry into the city, she would have been married off long ago, and Jia Dongxu wouldn't have had a chance.

Of course.

Although Jia Dongxu's current situation isn't great, he's still a city dweller with a stable job at a steel mill, which is more than enough for Qin Huairu, a country girl.

If this hadn't happened, Qin Huairu wouldn't have had this opportunity today.

however.

Jia Dongxu clearly had feelings for Qin Huairu, and Qin Huairu didn't object. Just when things seemed to be going well, Jia Zhangshi changed her mind.

The incident at noon that made things difficult for the cook, Sha Zhu, had already given Matchmaker Sun a lot of resentment towards Jia Zhangshi.

After all, Jia Zhangshi's actions were completely out of her mind, utterly ruining the positive image she had of her future mother-in-law in Qin Huairu's eyes.

Now, Matchmaker Sun strongly suspects that Jia Zhangshi is deliberately sabotaging things.

"I don't care, I'm extremely dissatisfied with Qin Huairu today. She has a vixen-like face and is definitely a troublemaker. Who knows who she'll seduce after she marries into our family!"

Jia Zhangshi was in the wrong, but this wasn't the only time she was in the wrong; it was a completely natural performance.

"Sister Zhang, if you say that, you're going too far."

If Jia Zhangshi simply looked down on Qin Huairu, then Matchmaker Sun wouldn't have anything to say. But what she just said directly involved personal attacks and smeared the girl's reputation.

If everyone does it this way, how will she ever introduce potential partners to others?

"I don't care, I don't want this one. Find me someone in the city with a stable job."

With Jia Zhangshi's request, Matchmaker Sun was so angry she wanted to curse.

Isn't this just deliberately picking a fight? Given Jia Dongxu's current situation, finding him a city girl as a wife, especially one with a stable job, is just a pipe dream!
“Mrs. Jia, if you’re going to act like this, then there’s no point in talking.”

"If we can't talk, then we won't. Give me back the matchmaker's money, and I'll find another matchmaker."

"I refuse to believe it! You're the only matchmaker in all of Beijing!"

"If there aren't any suitable ones in the East District, I can always look in the West District; there are bound to be capable people there..."

"impossible!"

"The matchmaker's money can't be refunded, not because I, surnamed Sun, am short of your money, but because there's no such rule, and this isn't how things are done."

"We agreed that we would only help your family find partners from rural areas..."

"..."

no doubt.

The negotiations between Jia Zhangshi and Matchmaker Sun broke down.

From the moment Jia Zhangshi changed her mind, this outcome was inevitable.

When Sun, the matchmaker, took on the business deal with the Jia family, she had already made a three-point agreement with Jia Zhangshi, and Jia Zhangshi had agreed to it.

If Jia Zhangshi had been determined to find a wife in the city, then Matchmaker Sun wouldn't have taken the job in the first place.

Now that Jia Zhangshi has changed her mind, and the matchmaker Sun is adamant about not agreeing to her request, Jia Zhangshi sees that there is no hope and decides to get the matchmaker's money back.

Paying double the matchmaker's fee to bring back a rural wife? Isn't that just being a sucker?

People can't even empathize with their past selves.

This statement is perfectly embodied in Jia Zhangshi.

For Matchmaker Sun, what truly mattered was not just the double matchmaker's fee, but also her reputation and prestige.

If this door is really opened, then if anyone is dissatisfied or makes unreasonable demands, she will have to unconditionally cooperate or refund the money. How will she make money in the future?

It wasn't my problem to begin with, and now that the money is being returned, it's become even more difficult to explain.

The key is.

Jia Zhangshi even threatened to find another matchmaker to replace her. Wasn't this a blatant slap in the face?
“Mrs. Jia, if you’re not satisfied with Xiao Qin today, I can help you find another blind date, but he can only be from the countryside. However, if you have other ideas, this is not negotiable.”

After firmly stating this, Matchmaker Sun made a final declaration to Jia Zhangshi: "I'm putting it this way today, if you still want to find someone, I'll continue to help you; but if you want a refund, no way!"

Having seen all sorts of people, Matchmaker Sun was not someone to be trifled with. If it weren't for the sake of her reputation, she would have definitely caused a scene with Jia Zhangshi today.

Things have escalated to this point.

Both Jia Zhangshi and Matchmaker Sun were in a bad mood.

Fortunately, Madam Jia knew she was in the wrong and didn't shout or make a scene. Matchmaker Sun, in order to protect her reputation, also kept to herself and didn't cause any big commotion or disturb the people in the courtyard.

"I'll talk to Xiao Qin. Tell her to come find me when you've thought it through herself!"

Upon seeing Jia Zhangshi, the matchmaker Sun felt a surge of anger. Fearing that if she stayed any longer, she might lose her temper and hit her, she could only leave with these words before heading out.

The dishes that Sha Zhu cooked at noon tasted pretty good, and Sun the matchmaker was initially quite happy with the meal, but now her stomach is about to explode with anger.

Who is this?
Watching the matchmaker Sun leave, Jia Zhangshi herself was also very angry.

Think about it.

In the end, Jia Zhangshi could not accept that Jia Dongxu had married a rural woman, especially after being provoked by the Li family in the front yard at noon, which made her feel ashamed.

Even if Dongxu doesn't find someone better than Li Hongmei, she can't be too far behind, otherwise, how will she save face in the future?
