Her Cultivation Diary

Chapter 2170: Chapter 1849: Is It Easy to Find a Match?

When it comes to matchmaking, we can talk about any outrageous conditions, but the premise is to put it all upfront.

Aunt Zhang Hong stepped into the spotlight, looking poised and at ease. She called over a few interested girls nearby and pushed her notebook forward.

Her handwriting wasn’t pretty, complete with elementary school strokes and some typos, but that didn’t affect the detailed information she provided at all.

Take the first one, she solemnly highlighted the team leader of the Security Team, Chen Yuan.

This title was like an optical illusion for the girls, who pictured an elderly uncle guarding the gate at a unit.

But then they saw the salary—

"Eighteen thousand a month?!!"

The crowd was shocked, exchanging glances. Was this really a salary from their 18th-tier small town Yun City? Wasn’t it a bit too outrageous?

The girls working at various units now only take home just over four thousand a month. Those with longer service times get slightly more, but that’s only five or six thousand.

Twelve thousand plus, for a security team leader?

Nope—so, is the farm in your village operating legitimately? Are they growing actual crops?

No wonder Aunt Zhang Hong put Chen Yuan in front—he’s like a shining star! His shortcomings and strengths are so prominent that it’s just right to show them to the girls.

"Girls, I’m not making this up. The income here is understated—he’s already the team leader, and holiday gifts can be quite generous, like on Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn, New Year’s... Each gift can fetch three to five thousand when sold."

Gasp!

The crowd drew in a sharp breath.

Marry a man, dress well and eat well. Even magpies choose a mate by checking if they can build a nest together. As the saying goes, poor couples have their sorrows.

Having enough money can obviously solve 90% of life’s worries.

A girl asked, "Why is the salary so high? Are there five insurances and one fund? Or is the job particularly dangerous?"

This rural farm, why does it sound unsafe?

As for holiday gifts worth three to five thousand—goodness! Just say their lousy workplace isn’t worth much; the festival gifts there are merely special poverty alleviation cards worth three to five hundred.

And when you go to corresponding shops to spend it, a bag of rice costs 200 right off the bat.

Aunt Zhang Hong was instantly delighted—girls showing interest proved she understood young people’s thinking well, thus she showed them more information.

"Oh my, Chen Yuan’s a lad who doesn’t talk much but is warm-hearted, meticulous, doesn’t smoke or drink, and exercises every day."

"Standing there looking upright, his spirit is totally different. Just his height isn’t particularly tall, not even 1.8 meters," but the data here is solid: "With shoes off, 178.5 cm, no padding added."

Not tall, but not too short either, right?

Many tourists visiting the village came early with their mobile phones specifically to film their training.

Young men ran short distances due to some physical limitations. But their other training movements each had their own focus.

Training hard, covered in sweat, hair wet, chest firm, and abs equally firm. When tired, raising a hand to wipe off sweat with their shirt...

Oh dear! Men don’t fuss about things!

Even watching, this old aunt felt surprisingly warm.

"If you ask me, he doesn’t have a single flaw—except for one—"

She gestured further down the lines: "Look, his lower left leg was amputated, now he’s using a prosthetic."

"Oh..."

The girls sighed in unison, attracting the curious gazes of those nearby.

Then some young men and women peeked over, wondering what the eager expressions on their faces were all about.

Wanting to hear.

Noticing that nearby tables were empty because the girls all moved closer to Aunt Zhang Hong, some casually shifted positions with their cups and phones.

Aunt Zhang Hong, thrilled, didn’t quite notice this:

"But it doesn’t affect anything, his daily exercise is quite vigorous. Lifting heavy stuff and lending a hand is easy, he’s got quite the strength."

"If you say marrying such a man, he’d be handy for heavy lifting at home; when elders need hospital visits, he’d lend a hand, how smooth would that be!"

"He’s clean too, a young man not smoking or drinking, keeping himself tidy daily, isn’t that wonderful —even if he’s a bit older, at 30 now! But I think boys are immature, with age comes maturity and responsibility, they can handle things!"

No wonder not everyone can be a matchmaker, Aunt Zhang Hong’s words were compelling enough to make even those not planning to find a match listen attentively, nodding constantly in their minds.

Don’t be fooled by her casually speaking—it’s actually tough to find such men nowadays. They either play too much, lack responsibility, or can’t endure hardships and do laborious work.

Some are good all-round but end up disorganized personally.

Overall, if someone truly had no flaws, wouldn’t they have been dating since school and gotten married early on? Most of them wouldn’t be left single now.

"This really is a great condition. But why is the leg like... sigh." Everyone genuinely lamented.

Aunt Zhang Hong wasn’t the least bit anxious.

She was older, had seen much, and though young girls might want a perfect match, she believed that for life, nothing could be lacking in money and responsibility.

Thus, she carefully calculated again:

"This, isn’t entirely a disadvantage. The lower leg was amputated, but it doesn’t affect his body now. He could fight three to five men easily! That was hardship endured for the nation, retired now."

"Therefore, his medical expenses, including the prosthetic, don’t cost him a penny."

"Besides, due to a level 5 disability assessment, aside from one-time funds given post-discharge, there’s an additional amount close to ten thousand a month! It covers pension, nursing fee and all."

When calculated, it’s a bit less than ten thousand, but since Chen Yuan’s household registration income was high, the nursing fee was calculated at the regular 40%, and with local subsidies, it totaled up this way.

"Then, he didn’t choose job placement, working at our farm as a private enterprise, so that subsidy remains forever. Every month his salary after deducting five insurances and one fund is 7000."

"Though there’s night shifts, night shifts have subsidies. Sometimes it’s not busy, he lends a hand with other tasks, those also have subsidies."

"All added up, eighteen thousand’s guaranteed!"

Aunt Zhang Hong’s voice grew louder, and the eighteen thousand salary, calculated precisely, attracted many gazes around. Even many young men raised their brows, listening earnestly, hollering internally, damn!

Though they weren’t planning on finding a partner here, but having someone sent by some unit with such a high salary in the midst of others earning four to five thousand (some even less), wasn’t this courting trouble?

The girls’ eyes were shining.

Aunt Zhang Hong understood everything well but missed one point, which was that the girls now received information and education vastly different from before.

In the information age, some are lost online, while others’ minds rapidly grown.

Hence, even young girls can often directly aim for the core of a problem.

They valued the very same things Aunt Zhang Hong did.

And Aunt Zhang Hong hadn’t finished yet!

"Moreover, in old age, aside from getting the local pension, he’s entitled to another pension without reduction."

"Meaning, if others retire with 3000, he’d get 6000."

"Also, looking at the young man’s family—they’re not local to Yun City, but his parents have their own lives and aren’t planning to move over for now. They got two apartments in X City. Parents live in one, the other’s rented out..."

As Aunt Zhang Hong spoke on, she was puzzled herself:

"How is such a good condition fellow still single up till now?"

Turning to see the slowly gathering young men and women, she felt proud and asked:

"Girls, help me see, is it easy to find a match for such a man nowadays?"
