Lu Changqing followed Dong Yong and watched him enter the coffin shop. Not long after, he saw an ox cart pulling a black coffin being driven out from the side door of the shop. Dong Yong also sat on the ox cart.

Seeing this, Lu Changqing followed from a distance.

Seeing Lu Changqing's sneaky look, the system asked in confusion: "Changqing, why did you become like this in this world to contact Dong Yong? Look how scared he is that he would rather sell himself to others to do hard labor than follow you to enjoy the good life?"

"Tong, congratulations on catching Huadian."

Lu Changqing explained to the system: "If you count the mythological stories about fairies or demon women who secretly marry mortal men, you will find that no matter how ordinary these men are, the heroines in the stories are always beautiful and kind. No matter how powerful the backgrounds of these women are, they are always hardworking, virtuous, gentle and considerate when facing men."

The system thought about it and it seemed to be true.

"The Weaver Girl, the Snail Girl, Bai Suzhen, Yao Ji... and a series of other fairies or witches, they all have extraordinary looks and backgrounds, but in the end they all fall in love with an ordinary man and cook for him. This is really too much like those YY stories on male channels about beautiful, rich women marrying stinky losers." Lu Changqing continued.

"But who stipulates that fairies must have fair skin, gorgeous figures, gentleness, kindness, and good housekeeping? Can't there be old, fat, dark, lazy, and bad-tempered ones? If I appear in front of Dong Yong like this, he would rather die than marry me. That means he is just a vulgar man who only admires women's beautiful appearance and cannot see my interesting soul." Lu Changqing shook his head and sighed, "A man like this doesn't deserve my love!"

Changqing Lu then added, "Of course, even if she falls in love with my interesting soul, I can't stand his ugly appearance."

The system said, "Don't be so confident. What if he really doesn't want to marry you? After all, you are so strong that you can beat ten people with one punch. Most men would be scared and run away when they see you."

Lu Changqing said lightly: "It's robbing and plundering. Let's have an ancient myth version of the domineering CEO's forced love where he runs away and I chase him and he can't escape even if he has wings!"

Lu Changqing held his chin and thought, "Let me think about the title. Domineering fairy falls in love with me, forcefully invades me: The delicate and soft man is always made to cry by the fairy, and he must be nice to his husband so that he can give birth to a boy, begging for mercy! The villain broke his waist before marriage, which of these do you think is better?"

The system made a disdainful sound, "Where did you find these titles? They make my teeth ache."

"There are a lot of them in the bookstore. You can take a look when you have time. After all, we still have to continue to venture into the female romance section. If you learn more about the routines of romance novels, you may be able to help with the mission in the future."

While they were joking, Dong Yong had already walked out of the town and was heading home along a muddy road outside the city.

Leaving the busy street, Dong Yong soon spotted Lu Changqing following the ox cart.

Although he was discovered, Lu Changqing was not panicked at all and continued walking forward leisurely.

Dong Yong was in a hurry to go home to attend his father's funeral and had no time to deal with Lu Changqing.

The sun above was so scorching that it was hard to open one's eyes. Fortunately, Dong Yong's home was not too far from the town. In less than half an hour, the ox cart reached the village where Dong Yong's home lived.

As soon as he entered the village, many villagers greeted Dong Yong and asked him to express his condolences.

After the ox cart pulling the coffin left, all the villagers praised Dong Yong for his filial piety.

"What a filial son! He spent all the money in the family to treat his father's illness and even sold his land."

"Who said it wasn't true? It's a pity that Old Man Dong's health wasn't good enough. He spent so much money and took so many medicines but still couldn't make it."

"It's better to die. Even if the disease is cured, the family is penniless and has no land. How can they support themselves?"

"What you said is too harsh. As the saying goes, it is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. There are ways to live a poor life. If you really have no food to eat, can't you go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables?"

"Didn't I hear that Dong Yong's family is so poor that they have to sell themselves to bury their father? Now they have money to buy a coffin. Did they find a job?"

"Who knows? Why don't you go and ask them later to see what's going on."

"How pitiful! The Dong family kid will have to live alone from now on."

"Wouldn't it be nice to get a wife then?"

"Without a father or mother and so poor, who would push their daughter into the fire?"

"Maybe someone will be attracted by his filial character and marry their daughter to him."

"That's right. After all, such a filial child is rare. There is only one in the area. He can serve his old father without taking off his clothes for more than half a year. I believe he will be good to his wife in the future."

Lu Changqing nodded repeatedly when he heard this. That's right. He didn't know if all filial men were dead these days. So when the Emperor of Heaven saw Dong Yong selling himself to bury his father, he pushed his daughter into the fire pit.

During the conversation, someone noticed Lu Changqing's unfamiliar face and looked at her curiously, "This lady looks a little strange, but are you here in the village to look for relatives?"

Thinking that he might have to stay in the village for a while, Lu Changqing put on a kind smile and said, "Just now I heard everyone seemed to be discussing Dong Yong. I wonder if the Dong Yong you are talking about is the filial son in the town who sold himself to bury his father?"

An old lady looked Lu Changqing up and down. Although she was wearing coarse cloth clothes, there was not a single patch on her body. Her hair was combed meticulously with several silver hairpins in her hair and two big gold bracelets on her wrists. It was obvious that she was from a wealthy family.

The old lady suddenly had a flash of inspiration and guessed Lu Changqing's identity.

"Sister, are you here to propose marriage to Dong Yong? I know almost all the matchmakers in this area, but why haven't I seen you before?"

Lu Changqing really didn't expect that the other party would think she was a matchmaker, but thinking of her own purpose, she readily admitted the identity of the matchmaker. How could she not be considered a matchmaker if she was matchmaking for herself?

The old lady was very enthusiastic when she heard this. "Which family has taken a fancy to the boy from the Dong family?"

"There is a farmer named Zhang in the next town. They have seven daughters. I am here to propose marriage to their youngest daughter."

"Wow, you gave birth to so many daughters!" A man winked at the people around him.

Someone echoed, "Dong Yong is the only son in his family for three generations. If that little girl Zhang is unable to give birth to a son like her mother, wouldn't that harm Dong Yong?"

Lu Changqing looked at the gloating middle-aged man and said sarcastically, "Oh, big brother, you are such a kind-hearted person. You are not related to Dong Yong, but you are so concerned about his offspring. You are so kind and kind-hearted. When Dong Yong's father died, you gave him a lot of money, right?"

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "It's okay, we are all from the same village. He calls me uncle, so it's only natural for me to care about him."

"How much money did you give? I have to come back later, let me think about it and see how much is appropriate."

The middle-aged man laughed dryly, "We don't have this custom here. When there is a funeral, it's enough for the villagers to lend a hand."

Lu Changqing looked at everyone and said, "Then what are you still standing here for? I just saw someone pulling a coffin into the village. I think it must be Dong Yong. Why don't you all come with me to see if there is anything I can do to help?"

Some lazy guys quietly slipped away after hearing what Lu Changqing said. The middle-aged man also wanted to slip away, but was stopped by Lu Changqing.

Lu Changqing said with tears in his eyes: "Oh, brother, you really have a kind heart. When you heard that we had to go to Dong Yong's house to help, you were the first to take action. We should all learn from you!"

Middle-aged man: ...

Can he say he wanted to slip away?
