Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 611 - 34 I’m Thinking of Training You All

Matchmaking, in most cases, apart from one’s parents, cannot trust a single word said by others.

Parents, at least, will consider whether their child can live peacefully after marriage.

If viewed by others, it would merely consist of, "Hey, I know a guy," and, "Hey, I also know a girl," followed by, "Let me introduce you!"

The mentality of stirring up excitement always exceeds the hope for your wellbeing.

In the past, not just anyone could be a matchmaker; it wasn’t as simple as finding an old woman with bound feet, armed with a tobacco pipe and some makeup to play the role. Poor families couldn’t afford a proper matchmaker and had to blindly trust the meddling of distant relatives; they had no choice.

A proper matchmaker is like a well-established shop, having to accumulate their own reputation. If an introduction succeeds, the benefits go without saying; but if one dares to swagger around deceiving and spouting nonsense, causing unnecessary disputes, people might overlook it initially out of concern for saving face, but they will surely settle scores later.

For someone like Wei Anyu, Wang Yunxiao could very well imagine what might have happened without Youtiao elaborating.

Eating up a household, plainly speaking, is about those old large families, not too large though, as those can’t be completely devoured.

Typically, it involves the level of a township, where the whole village bears the same surname.

When the main male member of a family dies, relatives and friends come under the guise of handling the funeral but really come to feast.

By leaving behind an orphan and a widow, relatives inevitably provide some support due to familial obligations; but the presence of a widow easily stirs up trouble at her door, tarnishing the family’s reputation.

Rather than that, they prefer to take the opportunity to consume all the family’s food, making it difficult for the survivors to live, in hopes they starve to death.

This isn’t very common in Tianmen, mainly because organizations like the Red Lantern Society and the Qianjin Church advocate for women.

Madam Meng and her daughter were almost driven to ruins this way; later, Cui Xiaoying had an idea and donated all of Old Blind Meng’s remaining property to the Church, and now they nominally reside on the Church’s property.

Even within the prominent noble families, such incidents exist but are conducted more covertly and unknown to others.

Lin Daiyu from "Dream of the Red Chamber" is a vivid example; the Jia Family completely devoured Lin’s family fortune worth millions, with Lin ultimately dying a lonely and pitiful death.

It’s one thing for others, but the fact that a family of Wei Anyu’s stature could also be devastated like this was unexpected to Wang Yunxiao.

The President is still alive, the Qilin Army is still in Tianmen, her brothers are dead, but did all of their comrades die as well?

To dare to devour such a household, what kind of courage and audacity is this?

"Does Cheng Xuefei know about this?"

"That’s hard to say."

Youtiao shrugged and said: "Logically speaking, those from major households should be better informed than us. If I could find out, why wouldn’t they know?"

Indeed...

If even Cheng Xuefei chooses not to interfere, then there’s really no need for someone as unrelated as me to meddle in these affairs.

I’m not just sitting around at home doing nothing.

Wang Yunxiao looked around at the brothers surrounding him, hormones running high, and said seriously, "You all know that the school explicitly forbids early relationships."

The brothers remained silent.

"But then again, at our age, we should be thinking about settling down. Other students have their parents to worry about this, but we don’t, so we need to plan ahead. There’s an old saying, ’Why let the water in your own field flow to another’s?’ We brothers have arms and legs like everyone else; we’re no worse off than others. There are so many nice girls in school, why should we let those nobodies have them?"

Matuan’s eyes lit up, he gave a thumbs up and said, "Big brother is right!"

"Shut up!"

Youtiao glared at him and said to Wang Yunxiao, "Big brother, I know what you mean, but with these guys, you can ask them to exert some effort, but to get them to interact with girls, they also need the brains for it."

He pointed at Guozi, "The other day, a girl saw his fists were bleeding, kindly gave him a handkerchief, and guess what this idiot said— ’What are you doing?’ He almost scared the girl to death."

Guozi blushed and lowered his head, unable to speak.

"Nobody is born knowing everything."

Wang Yunxiao kindly reassured them, "Here’s what I’m thinking: whether or not we fancy someone can be a long-term consideration. For now, we could start by gathering some experience... Look at what happened with Wei Anyu, even major households can face these issues, let alone other students in our school. What about we, under the guise of the student council, conduct a survey among the junior girls? What do you think?"

At this point, Youtiao finally caught on, "You mean, big brother, you want the brothers to learn how to talk to girls?"

Wang Yunxiao smiled, "Right, women, aren’t they just men with less bone and more flesh? What’s the difference? You guys can pair up and survey each class. If you see someone you like, you’d have an idea, right?"

The brothers exchanged glances and simultaneously revealed knowing smiles.

"Plus, there’s the money we copied back, though we got it fair and square, you know it’s because of the principal’s face. And you know the principal’s temper; he’s not the kind of person who cares about money. He only cares whether we study well and follow the Righteous Path."

Wang Yunxiao lowered his voice, "I’m thinking, once the neighboring house is completed, I’ll go and talk to the principal to take a portion of that money to get you guys a place. He’d most likely agree. Once we move into new homes and get our junior high school diplomas, who would dare call us loafers? What kind of wife couldn’t we get?"

Matuan immediately puffed out his chest, feeling like his life was already reaching its peak.

"But we aren’t in the student council, are we?"

"That’s no problem, let Brother Youtiao handle Chen Yan!"

Handling Chen Yan was never a difficult issue. However, just as Wang Yunxiao and his brothers were confidently ready to proceed with the plan, Tang Ping’an was brought back by someone.

This time, the other party came in a horse-drawn carriage, with Tang Ping’an and seven or eight other boys all had their legs broken and thrown at the school gate. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

A young man dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with short crew-cut hair and a sinister face, got out of the car, walked up to the security guard with hands clasped behind his back, and said coldly, "Tell someone in charge of your school to come and talk."

The security uncle looked at the boys lying on the ground in pain and sighed, "If you want to see the principal, you need to call him first."

"Can’t even teach your students properly, yet acting so high and mighty, huh."

The young man sneered, "Give you three minutes to call him down. If it takes longer than three minutes, I’ll break the other leg of these little beasts right at your school’s gate!"
