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

Chapter 85 Why Don’t You Go to Heaven?
It must be said that Jia Zhangshi didn't have any good cards to play, and she played them terribly.

Given Jia Dongxu's current situation, he will most likely have to go through a matchmaker and arrange blind dates to resolve his personal issues.

Their family already had a bad reputation, making it difficult to find matchmakers in the area. Now they've offended the matchmaker they finally managed to hire, so you can imagine what will happen to them in the future.

However, that's how Jia Zhangshi is.

Once they get carried away, they lose sight of reality and act without considering the consequences.

Of course.

This time, she was mainly provoked by Li Hongmei and Zhao Weiguo. She didn't want to be outdone, but she couldn't let go of her pride as a city dweller. She always felt that her son was superior to others, and she was overly blindly confident.

Actually, if the Jia family simply wanted to find a city girl as a wife, Matchmaker Sun could have done it. But the problem is that being from the city was only one of their requirements.

The Jia family, especially Jia Dongxu, clearly had other demands, and they were all quite high.

If it weren't for this, Matchmaker Sun wouldn't have limited her search for potential partners to rural areas when choosing matchmakers for Jia Dongxu.

A typical case of wanting everything but lacking the ability to achieve it.

After leaving the Jia family, Matchmaker Sun searched everywhere for Qin Huairu.

She had seen the people and eaten the food; her mission for the day was complete.

Although Matchmaker Sun could tell that Jia Dongxu had clearly taken a liking to Qin Huairu, with a mother like Jia Zhangshi, the relationship was already doomed.

Because Qin Huairu had said she was going to the restroom, Matchmaker Sun went outside to look for her and found Qin Huairu chatting with Xu Damao outside the gate.

She had been wondering why Qin Huairu hadn't returned for so long after going to the restroom; it turned out she was chatting with someone here.

As for Xu Damao, Sun the matchmaker didn't really know him, but she knew some things about him.

Sun the matchmaker had specifically learned about people like Li Hongbing, Sha Zhu, Xu Damao, Liu Guangqi, and Yan Jiecheng, who lived in this courtyard.

They're not young anymore; in two or three years at most, or even just one or two, they'll be at the age where they should be looking for partners and wives. At that time, they'll all become his resources and clients.

Once you have a long enough list, matching becomes much easier.

at the same time.

Xu Damao, who was arguing with Qin Huairu about the Jia family and Jia Dongxu, suddenly noticed the matchmaker Sun coming out from inside. Feeling guilty, he ran away like a mouse that had encountered a cat.

"Damn, this kid."

Seeing that Xu Damao had run off without even saying goodbye and had almost bumped into her, Matchmaker Sun was speechless.

"Matchmaker Sun".

Seeing the matchmaker Sun come out, Qin Huairu, who was also feeling a little guilty, quickly greeted her.

I didn't come out just now because I really wanted to go to the toilet. I came out to secretly ask the people in the courtyard about the true situation of the Jia family and Jia Dongxu.

"Xiao Qin, what do you think of Jia Dongxu, whom you met today?"

Matchmaker Sun's question was one she already knew the answer to.

In fact, she had already figured it out: Qin Huairu also had feelings for Jia Dongxu.

Although Jia Zhangshi caused some trouble in the middle, for Qin Huairu, who was determined to marry into the city, the Jia family's conditions were good, and it was indeed a good choice.

only……

Jia Zhangshi has already made it clear that this matter is definitely not going to work out.

Even if Jia Dongxu agreed, it wouldn't matter. The experienced matchmaker Sun could see that Jia Zhangshi was very domineering, and Jia Dongxu might not be able to manage the household.

"Matchmaker Sun, I don't like her."

Just as Matchmaker Sun was still thinking about how to confront Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu's answer completely stunned her.

"What? You didn't like it?"

Matchmaker Sun found it incredible.

Qin Huairu came from the countryside, and Jia Zhangshi looked down on her, which she could understand.

But she, a country girl, was not even satisfied with the conditions of the Jia family, which really left her speechless.

Knowing Qin Huairu was proud, she hadn't expected her to be this proud. Although this saved Matchmaker Sun the trouble of explaining, she still couldn't understand. Looking at Qin Huairu with some confusion, she asked, "Why? What is it about the Jia family that you're dissatisfied with?"

In any case, she has to find out the reason; she can't just let it slide like this.

In case she encounters a similar situation again, she will have a way to deal with it and won't be completely unprepared.

"Matchmaker Sun, please don't hide it from me anymore."

After glancing at Matchmaker Sun, Qin Huairu laid her cards on the table: "I already know about the Jia family's situation."

"What, you..."

The matchmaker was dumbfounded; she almost had a mental breakdown.

In such a short period of time, Qin Huairu gave her far too many "surprises".

After a long pause, Matchmaker Sun asked Qin Huairu, "Was it that young man from earlier, Xu Damao? Xu Damao told you, right?"

Thinking back to what she had seen when she came out, Matchmaker Sun had already connected the dots and guessed that Xu Damao was behind it all.

That brat...

It's said that it's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage. Who would go to someone's blind date and speak ill of them to their face?

If the Jia family finds out about this, they'll be mortal enemies!

From now on, the reputation of the Xu family and Xu Damao is ruined.

Thinking about it carefully, I haven't heard of any deep-seated hatred between the Xu family and the Jia family in the backyard, especially since Xu Fugui is the eldest master in this courtyard.

But since things had already come to this, there was nothing the matchmaker could do. She could only comfort and promise Qin Huairu, "If you don't like it, you don't like it. I'll find you a better one later."

Although matchmakers tend to focus on the other person's good points and often exaggerate, she did have problems in handling this matter.

If this gets out, it will have a significant negative impact on her reputation and public image.

She deliberately didn't tell Qin Huairu and the Qin family about Jia Dongxu being criticized and punished by the factory.

But if this hadn't happened, the Jia family wouldn't have agreed to find a match from the countryside, and Qin Huairu wouldn't have been involved at all.

It wasn't a big deal in itself; she just didn't say it out loud, not that she was deliberately lying to deceive anyone. But Qin Huairu found out about it anyway.

Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi may not like each other, but if it's because of her as a matchmaker, then there's a big problem.

Without any choice.

To protect her reputation, Matchmaker Sun could only offer Qin Huairu "compensation" by suppressing the matter and keeping her quiet.

Qin Huairu was quite perceptive. Upon hearing Matchmaker Sun's statement, a look of delight appeared on her face, and she immediately said, "Aunt Sun, Jia Dongxu is actually quite good, and the Jia family's conditions are also good. However, his mother doesn't seem very easy to get along with. I'm afraid I'll be bullied if I marry into the family!"

Upon hearing Qin Huairu's reason, Matchmaker Sun immediately breathed a sigh of relief and became satisfied with her.

So sensible!
Don't let her country bumpkin appearance fool you; she's got a knack for dealing with people.

Moreover, Qin Huairu was right; Jia Zhangshi was indeed difficult to get along with.

If I really marry into this family, I'll definitely encounter conflicts with my mother-in-law in the future.

The matchmaker, Sun, was still holding a grudge about the conflict with Jia Zhangshi earlier, and Qin Huairu's comments hit the nail on the head, making her completely agree.

however.

Before Matchmaker Sun could be happy for long, Qin Huairu's next words made her change color on the spot.

“Aunt Sun, I think the Li family in the front yard looks nice. Could you help me ask them about Li Hongbing, the one who’s currently an apprentice at Fengzeyuan…”

"What?"

"What do you say?"

"Li Hongbing from the front yard?"

"Qin Huairu, you..."

"..."
