Chapter 168 The Matchmaker
When preparing for the birthday banquet, Shao Wanwan had already gotten a general idea of the distribution of talent in the village, what everyone did, so that she could mobilize them in critical moments.
My grandmother lives alone in the old house and needs the care of those around her.
Acquaintances might charge a higher price and it's not easy to negotiate, but since they're from the same village, they wouldn't dare cut corners to avoid being criticized, so it's a good option.
Shao Moli said in a low voice, "You've already helped me so much with the hearing aid issue, I'm really sorry to trouble you again."
"Is it more important that you feel bad about troubling me, or that you don't want Grandma to catch a cold?" Shao Wanwan was getting a little angry.
Shao Moli couldn't win an argument with Shao Wanwan.
His face turned bright red.
"It's settled then. You can pay me back when you make money in the future."
After finishing her meal, Shao Wanwan went to find Uncle Hu with Shao Moli and told him that Zhang Suran wanted to install underfloor heating for her grandmother.
This good reputation can only belong to Zhang Suran. The two of them are poor students, and if they flaunt their wealth too early, they will easily attract the attention of the villagers.
I've finalized the agreement with Uncle Hu regarding the underfloor heating.
Uncle Hu said he would notify his son, who would then come over to measure the square footage and formulate a plan.
Uncle Hu also said it would be best to find someone to stay at home to supervise the work, someone trustworthy would be fine, because his son couldn't be there all the time to keep an eye on things, and it was mainly his workers who were doing the work.
Only three households in the entire Yantang Village have underfloor heating installed.
If Uncle Hu's son were to try to do business in Yantang Village, he would surely starve to death.
Shao Wanwan expressed her understanding.
However, the results will be released in a few days, and there will be a class meeting. The counselor said that everyone must attend, otherwise they will be publicly criticized and given a demerit.
The three of them are still students, so it's impossible to keep an eye on them.
Shao Wanwan then asked Shao Moli, "Is there anyone in the village we can trust? We can entrust him with the project and then give him some money for supervising."
After careful consideration, Shao Moli concluded that there was no such thing.
Since her grandfather passed away, her grandmother has been left to live alone in this village. If it weren't for Shao Moli and her grandmother relying on each other, her grandmother might not have been able to stay in Yantang Village.
"After the birthday banquet, Grandma's life got a little better. She said that no one threw things into the well anymore, and there was also her vegetable garden, which used to be occupied by people. Every time Grandma went to find the person, no one would admit it. But if she pulled them out, someone would throw dead rats into the front yard. Everyone bullied Grandma."
Wanwan, thank you. If it weren't for you, Grandma would still be living like this.
The interpersonal relationships in the village are far from simple. My grandmother suffered a lot when she was young and shed many tears. Now that she's old, she cries less and no longer talks about her past hardships. She's cheerful every day. If it weren't for wanting to protect the old house left by my grandfather, she says she really wouldn't want to see those so-called relatives again.
This was the first time Shao Moli had said these things to her.
Shao Moli grew up in Yantang Village, but she also hated Yantang Village the most. It was her hometown, but it was poor and backward.
“But one day, if you become rich, the first thing you’ll want to change and build is this place,” Shao Wanwan sighed.
Shao Moli was stunned; she hadn't expected Shao Wanwan to have hit the nail on the head.
That's what she thought; it was a grand ambition hidden deep within her heart.
She is no less capable than any man. She will work hard, work hard to earn money, and then build up the hometown where she grew up, which is not lovely. She wants to build roads and bridges, and make this place no longer so barren.
Perhaps if the land were not so barren, one day people would not be so ignorant.
But she kept this thought deep in her heart; she had never told anyone, nor could she tell anyone.
Shao Wanwan pointed it out, which stirred up some other emotions within her.
Shao Wanwan understood her and knew her.
But they are not biological sisters.
Shao Moli lowered her head again, "As for the underfloor heating, how about we get it done when we come back for winter break..."
“How can that be? Didn’t you hear what Uncle Hu said? Many families in the city want to improve their lives and are thinking about installing underfloor heating. That period is the busiest time. They don’t even take the New Year holiday to earn money. It seems like they only get one day off on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. If we work off-peak, we can finish earlier.” Shao Wanwan firmly disagreed.
Neither of them could convince the other, so they went back to their grandmother's house.
I found several people sitting in the open space in the front yard.
Grandma and Jiang Zheyuan were talking to her.
As soon as Shao Wanwan and Shao Moli returned, a short, plump middle-aged woman immediately stood up, looked them over, and exclaimed, "So beautiful! University really nurtures people. Look at them, how lovely they've all become! They're wonderful!"
Then, seeing that Shao Wanwan naturally sat down next to Jiang Zheyuan, the woman understood. She took Shao Moli's hand and said, "Auntie heard that you were back, so she immediately brought Liu Chao to visit. She wants you two to get to know each other. You're both at the age where you should be dating."
As he spoke, he nudged the boy named Liu Chao with his elbow.
Then a boy who looked like he weighed over 200 pounds swayed as he stood up and grinned at Shao Moli.
My grandmother is hard of hearing, so she can't really hear what they're saying very clearly.
But when Liu Chao reached out to shake hands with Shao Moli, Shao Moli looked resistant. Her grandmother immediately grabbed Shao Moli's hand and said, "Auntie! Our Moli is still young and has no intention of dating. If you don't have anything else to do, you can stay for dinner. If you have other things to do, we won't keep you."
Grandma, who was always warm and welcoming, started turning away guests because of Shao Moli.
In fact, ever since the last birthday banquet, when Shao Wanwan witnessed how disgusting it was for those elders to shamelessly try to arrange marriages, she felt nauseous just looking at them.
Shao Moli is tall, beautiful, and a college student; she's like a hot commodity, attracting the attention of many.
They returned without informing anyone, and only half a day later, the matchmaker arrived with the man.
Shao Wanwan felt a stinging pain in her eyes, as if she was about to get a sty from looking at this scene.
Grandma's words made the matchmaker very embarrassed.
But having taken the money, she had long since abandoned all pretense of decency.
She immediately took out Liu Chao's birth date and time and placed it on the table.
“Look at Liu Chao’s birth chart. He’s destined for great wealth and honor, but he’s missing a virtuous wife. You can’t ruin such a good match! You’ll have karmic retribution when you get older, and that won’t be good!” The matchmaker said, frowning and speaking in a mystical tone.
She took advantage of the old man's superstitions and completely fooled him.
Shao Wanwan hadn't intended to tolerate it in the first place, and now that she heard this damned matchmaker cursing her grandmother, she immediately flew into a rage.
She looked around, picked up a forked broom, and then winked at Jiang Zheyuan.
Jiang Zheyuan picked up the bucket that was placed to the side.
While sweeping the dust, Shao Wanwan said, "Oh dear, this place hasn't been swept in so long, there's dirt everywhere. Grandma, you're the same, bringing all sorts of things into the house. Look at this once beautiful courtyard, now it's incredibly dirty."
