Chapter 2171: Chapter 1850: What Counts as Dignity
Chen Yuan’s eighteen thousand income really made a good start.
After Aunt Zhang Hong asked that question, a crowd had already gathered around. People might not necessarily want him as a prospect, but...
It’s like those viral videos online titled "Is this man marriage material?" We might not be looking for a partner, but that doesn’t stop us from joining the fun!
Later, you can even use it to fend off your parents and bosses: "It’s not that I don’t want to find someone, but the salary is just too low. This time, there was a matchmaking event where someone introduced a guy earning 18,000 a month..."
How perfect!
And after Chen Yuan, there was also Wu Fang.
Wu Fang’s salary wasn’t that high, but combined with allowances, he still managed to make about 14,000 a month.
Aunt Zhang Hong also highlighted his advantages—
"Has bad relations with parents and siblings, basically won’t communicate after marriage, and won’t live together."
This, of course, is also a disadvantage. For example, with kids in the future, even with a nanny, there’s no family to lend a hand.
But the issue is, there are always some girls who aren’t good at or willing to interact with elders, and seeing this, they can’t help but feel tempted.
Aunt Zhang Hong categorized the pros and cons this way, applying her own feelings.
When she was a daughter-in-law, her mother-in-law, like most mothers-in-law of that era, couldn’t stand to see her idle, or spending money, or even giving an egg daily to her daughter.
In short, some people rely on their mothers-in-law for help, some don’t expect it. She laid out the conditions for everyone to see for themselves!
Upon finishing this detailed discussion, she saw even more people gather around. Delighted, she flipped through the pages, more information about the girls was there.
"Girls, since you all work at offices, you’re mature in your thinking—I have a few girls here, not sure how to choose partners for them, could you help take a look?"
"Of course, of course!"
More girls gathered around the small table, effortlessly pushing their male colleagues aside:
"Shoo, shoo, move back a bit."
Those male colleagues couldn’t even sell themselves at their own workplace, indicating obvious flaws. Who knows if girls from the village may be particularly honest and straightforward? Can’t let them be fooled.
Male colleagues: ...
Why? Why?
Aren’t we with stable jobs? We’re quite popular out there. We’re just joining for fun, never said we’d fancy village girls.
No stable job, no pensions for parents, can’t match our standards at home.
The men grumbled in their hearts, but with the girls outnumbering them, they had no choice but to shyly sit on the perimeter, eavesdropping.
Aunt Zhang Hong sincerely asked, "In our village, there’s Yun Duo. Her parents heavily favor boys over girls, so she and her sister ran away and won’t go back to their hometown."
"She says she graduated from university, but actually, she finished her first year and then took a break in her second year—this was also due to her thoughtfulness as a girl. Her sister supports her, who married into our village. Each year, she makes quite a few thousand. They care for each other, so Yun Duo took a break from school."
"But in our village,
this matchmaking event is genuine, telling it like it is. This is her actual situation."
The girls frowned slightly, "Nowadays, jobs really emphasize university degrees. No matter how tough it is, bear with it and apply for some loans to at least get a diploma."
"Yeah, and besides, isn’t she just taking a break? The most important thing is to save up money to complete her studies, not rush into looking for a partner, right?"
"Yes, finding a partner, what if the guy supports her studies, but later their relationship sours and they break up, she naturally ends up in a weaker position, not properly justified."
As they chirped on, Aunt Zhang Hong earnestly took notes, and then explained:
"This Yun Duo girl herself wasn’t planning on looking. I was the one who persuaded her. I said since there’s a rare matchmaking event, whether it works out or not, it’s worth going to look around, observe more, and gain some experience."
"As for her, she’s planning to work for a year or two, gain some experience and money—the original salary was 4,000, but this girl is exceptionally hardworking and diligent, often earns bonuses, now manages to bring in five to six thousand a month."
Not every student just graduating can follow Secretary Xiaozu’s plan and handle the real estate process.
Song Tan arranged her a medical check-up not long after she joined, which already tested his ability.
According to Yun Duo, now she has many teachers teaching her things—experienced elders in the village, top students, and even all-knowing Secretary Xiaozu. Probably, the school won’t offer this kind of environment.
