Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Chapter 231 Wu Dalang's Blind Date

Wang Po truly lives up to her name.

Having taken on the task of finding Wu Dalang, she diligently searched for suitable candidates throughout Yanggu County.

However, some things cannot be changed simply by being diligent and hardworking.

When the girls of Yanggu County heard that Granny Wang was going to act as matchmaker for a man surnamed Wu, they were all overjoyed. They all thought it was Wu Song, so they flocked to her.

But when they discovered that the matchmaker was not Wu Song but Wu Da, they immediately lost interest and turned to leave.

Wang Po also used all her charm to shower Wu Dalang with praise!

Are the students at Wuhan University old?

"He's mature!"

Is Wuhan University student short?

"He's so down-to-earth!"

Is Wuhan University student ugly?

"He looks safe!"

Are they selling steamed buns at Wuhan University?

"Even the county magistrate thought his steamed buns were delicious, and look, he even gave him such a good stall!"

Was Wu's family poor?

"Not poor at all! His younger brother is the head constable of our county! And as I've said, even the county magistrate says his steamed buns are delicious! They sell very well!"

There's no one left in the Wu family.

"Isn't this good? You don't have in-laws, and your eldest sister-in-law is like a mother to you. Once you go home, you'll be the head of the household!"

Indeed, Wang Po used every trick in the book, after all, it was a big deal worth twenty taels!

They really praised everything they could, almost to the point of praising Wu Dalang as a treasure trove.

But the effect was indeed minimal.

The unmarried girls in Yanggu County are not stupid; basically none of them want to meet Wu Dalang for a blind date.

Even those two or three who were willing to give it a try gave up decisively after seeing what Wuhan University looked like with their own eyes.

Honestly, it's really hard to convince myself to spend my life with someone who has this kind of body shape and looks!

So Wu Dalang could only sit awkwardly in Wang Po's teahouse, wearing his new clothes, without any chance to speak.

"You should go home now, I'll take a look at it for you tomorrow."

By the end of the day, Granny Wang's throat was practically parched, but she still hadn't made any progress. When she returned to her shop, the first thing she did was pick up the teapot on the table and chug down a large pot of tea.

"Wang Po, please take your time and have a seat."

Wu Dalang was kind-hearted. When he saw Wang Po looking like this, he quickly came over to help her up, afraid that she might fall.

"No, no, I'll do it myself."

After finally recovering, Granny Wang immediately stopped Wu Da.

"Big Brother, please sit down too."

Granny Wang gestured for Wu Dalang to sit down as well, then thought for a moment and carefully organized her thoughts.

“Brother, since my mother-in-law started her matchmaking business, no one has ever been able to sit in my shop all day without making a purchase. You’ve set a precedent.”

Wu Dalang smiled sheepishly. He knew that Wang Po wasn't exaggerating. He had seen a dozen or twenty women in the shop today, and although none of them had succeeded, it was clear that Wang Po had indeed tried very hard.

"Laughing? You're still laughing! It's all because of you that I've become like this."

Wang Po cursed Wu Dalang in her heart, but she didn't say anything on the surface.

After all, Wu Song is not someone to be trifled with. If Wu Dalang is unhappy, Wu Song will definitely come looking for trouble!

With Wu Song's physique, he could even kill a tiger, let alone a small old woman like her.

Who knows, they might smash up the shop.

So even if Wu Dalang is a particularly difficult customer, she still has to treat him seriously.

"Wang Po, you've gone to so much trouble. I'll tell my second brother to give you more money."

Wu Dalang looked at the beads of sweat on Wang Po's forehead and then spoke.

"This isn't about money."

Although Wang Po was secretly pleased, she still waved her hand, because she knew that Wu Dalang was honest and simple, but Wu Song was not stupid. If she did a good job, Wu Song would give her more money without her having to ask.

But if he asked Wu Song for more money through Wu Dalang, Wu Song would really smash up his shop.

"Young master, your mother-in-law is asking you, among these girls today, is there any that you like?"

After thinking it over, Granny Wang thought, "No, I can't let my reputation be ruined by Wu Da. I still have to get rid of him!"

Wang Jinhua, who debuted in the matchmaking industry in Yanggu at the age of thirty, dominated the county for thirty years and was unmatched!

She refused to believe she couldn't handle this Wu Dalang!

“Mother-in-law, there are no girls today, and they all seem to be too young.”

Wu Da thought for a moment, then spoke somewhat shyly.

"I see!"

"Snapped!"

As if struck by a sudden enlightenment, Granny Wang slammed her hand on the table, startling Wu Dalang!

"Grandma, what's wrong?"

"It's alright, Dalang, you don't mind someone a little older, right?"

Granny Wang quickly asked.

The girls she brought today were all teenagers; she had indeed miscalculated.

It's an occupational hazard, really. In her thirty years as a matchmaker, she's mostly introduced young men and women. This is the first time she's introduced someone like Wu Da, who's almost forty.

So, there was no gain today. To be fair, Wu Da is responsible, but Wang Po herself is also responsible!

"My dear son, it's my fault for not thinking things through today. I wasted your day by introducing you to young girls out of habit."

Granny Wang took the initiative to admit her mistake.

"No, no, Granny Wang, you've been very kind. It's my fault. I didn't tell you that I don't actually mind if someone is a little older."

Wu Dalang rarely blamed others, so he quickly spoke to Wang Po.

"No, it's your mother-in-law's problem. I didn't ask you. I just wanted to find a young and beautiful girl and give her to you directly. I didn't value her enough. Come on, Dalang, talk to your mother-in-law properly and tell her what kind of girl you want."

In Wang Po's eyes, a flame called fighting spirit ignited!

She really didn't believe that she couldn't handle Wu Dalang.

“Well, Mother-in-law, I think the age doesn’t need to be too old, twenty or even thirty is fine.”

Wu Dalang thought for a moment, then said somewhat embarrassedly.

"In your twenties or thirties? Those are old maids, or even mothers. Dalang, you won't tell your mother that you don't mind marrying a widow, will you?"

Granny Wang grinned. "Do you think girls are like you, Wu Da, who can't get married even in their twenties or thirties?"

If that's true, then her appearance is probably quite similar to yours, Wu Da.

If I introduce you to a girl like that, your brother Wu Song will smash up my shop, or I'll change my surname to yours!

"Actually, I'm mainly thinking about finding a virtuous and capable woman who can manage a household. As for appearance, I don't think there's a girl who's uglier than me, so I don't have any requirements."

"Wang Po, you know my younger brother Wu Song. He's young and already a county constable with a bright future. We can't let him be held back because of me."

“If I don’t get married, he can’t get married either, so I want to find someone who doesn’t mind me to get married as soon as possible, so that my brother can get married too.”

Wu Dalang said to Wang Po.

"That's true. There's a saying that a brother can't get married without his older brother, and the younger brother should get married first."

Wang Po nodded, then said to Wu Dalang:

"Then, Grandma, I'll pick out some older women for you. Don't worry, I'll definitely pick some who are good at managing the household and virtuous."

"Thank you, Granny Wang. I'll head back now."

Wu Dalang thanked him as he stood up.

"Brother, let me confirm with you again, as long as she is virtuous and good at managing the household, nothing else matters, right? Even if she is a widow with a child?"

In the end, Granny Wang still asked this question; she felt it was very important.

"Yeah, it doesn't matter."

Wu Dalang said earnestly:

"The most important thing is that the person is a good person. Whether they are a poor or rich person, whether they take care of children or not, it doesn't matter..."
