The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 148 - 144: Captain: Huh? That Kid Succeeded???
Mrs. Xiao thought the matter was settled, but Matchmaker Zhou mysteriously said, "Do you know what happened next?"
"What?"
"Ha, Qian Xiaoyun, unwilling to accept her fate, ran off with her son and a big belly to find the child’s father."
Mrs. Xiao’s eyes nearly popped out. "What? Did she find him?"
"Find what? Qian Xiaoyun only has an elementary education, can’t even read fully. She couldn’t find anyone, let alone leave the courtyards, and the baby in her belly didn’t survive either..."
Qian Xiaoyun left full of indignation and ambition, but when she returned, she almost scared her parents Qian Kangmei to death.
She had an accident at the train station, got bumped and fell flat on her back.
If she were younger, it’d be no problem, but Qian Xiaoyun had a big belly.
She was out of options.
She lost the baby in her belly, and whether she can have another is uncertain.
Matchmaker Zhou, in a meaningful way, said, "Lanzi, think this through. Xiao the Fifth is a good kid, don’t match him with an intellectual youth and ruin his life.
If you’re willing, I’ve got plenty of good girls from all over the place for you to choose from! Whether you want a pretty one, robust one, good family background, educated one, it’s all fine!"
Of course, Matchmaker Zhou thought without changing her expression or heart rate, no matter which one she picks, the girl coming to meet would be her niece Zhou Wei.
Hehehe~~
Mrs. Xiao smiled, not offending Matchmaker Zhou, "I’ll think it over, sigh~ you tell me, having a child, both come to collect debts."
"Isn’t it true, endless worries~"
The two exchanged a few more courteous remarks. Matchmaker Zhou assumed she had convinced Mrs. Xiao and escorted her out.
As soon as Mrs. Xiao walked away, a girl emerged from the house.
She was indeed pretty, delicate, with a fair and small oval face, willow leaf eyebrows, and petite cherry lips.
This person was Zhou Wei.
"Aunt," she hurried, "didn’t you say you’d introduce Xiao the Fifth to me? Why the change of plans?"
Matchmaker Zhou frowned, "What are you rushing for? His thing with that intellectual youth isn’t happening."
Zhou Wei doubted, "Why do you say that?"
"Humph, when she first joined the team, I helped her a lot. If she doesn’t even give me face, then Song Shilan really has no conscience!"
Zhou Wei was stunned, "So that lady isn’t from here?"
"No," Matchmaker Zhou waved her hand, not wanting to discuss old grudges, "Forget it, you shouldn’t go out these days, stay indoors, get even paler, and I’ll find an excuse to let you meet with Xiao the Fifth."
She thought simply, men, aren’t they all about that.
Looking at the face, they don’t care about anything else.
She’s seen Wen Ran, indeed pretty, but too wild in nature.
For dating sure, but expecting her to serve a husband in marriage?
Don’t kid yourself.
"Aunt, I have this unease. Let’s think of a way to disrupt it, shall we?"
Matchmaker Zhou was stunned, instinctively glancing at Zhou Wei; she was on good terms with Song Shilan, avoiding complications.
"Why disrupt?"
Zhou Wei looked at Matchmaker Zhou, thought for a while, and straightforwardly spoke the truth, "Aunt, I won’t hide it from you.
I fled to your house to avoid trouble. Recently in town buying things, a hooligan latched onto me, insisting on marrying me but I refused.
After considering, even if I casually marry, my appearance would still be an issue, better to marry someone who can protect me."
A valuable asset becomes sinful in the wrong hands.
At times without strength, beauty is an original sin.
Zhou Wei didn’t want a muddled life, so she aimed for Xiao Chenye, who drives big trucks, has connections, networks.
Anyone wanting to eye her would have to weigh their worth.
As long as she marries him, she can openly send money home, and her family would support her.
Just the thought made Zhou Wei feel her spine straighter by two degrees.
She, Zhou Wei, was determined to have Xiao Chenye.
Matchmaker Zhou hesitated, Zhou Wei couldn’t wait, "Aunt, delay brings change, if we don’t settle this soon, I fear..."
"But I have no need to use dirty tricks."
She’d been in the Silly Deer Team for years, had established reputation and connections, who doesn’t praise her with a thumbs up mentioning Matchmaker Zhou’s name.
"Who said to use dirty tricks?" Zhou Wei smiled, leaning on Matchmaker Zhou’s back, tilted her head, whispered in her ear: "We just need to be somewhat ambiguous..."

Leaving the Zhou Family, Mrs. Xiao remained unperturbed, carrying things on the road.
As for Matchmaker Zhou’s words, she took it as the old sister thinking too much, spouting nonsense.
No matter who’s family, outsiders pointing fingers aren’t helpful, life still has to be lived by oneself.
When Matchmaker Zhou excluded the intellectual youth, Mrs. Xiao already dismissed her.
If family happiness can’t align with one’s own, better leave it alone!
Thinking momentarily, Mrs. Xiao’s eyes lit up, suddenly thought of a candidate.
...
Bi Family.
The team leader was slurping noodles, hearing this, the noodles popped out from his nose in fright.
"What?"
Mrs. Xiao: "..."
She silently retreated, disdainfully averting her eyes.
Oh my, this old guy is truly gross.
He coughed earth-shatteringly, alarming the team leader’s wife, who rushed out and was stunned.
The team leader trembled coughing, noodles flew up and down, slapping the team leader’s old face relentlessly.
In the end, old couples held steady, the team leader’s wife controlled the disgust, stepped up, accurately extracted the noodle.
The team leader coughed heartily for a minute, snuffed and teary-eyed.
Then gradually calmed down.
Mrs. Xiao had already stepped to the doorway.
The team leader sheepishly, "Haha, why you hiding so far?"
Mrs. Xiao: "..."
Do you have no clue why I’m so far?
But, basics of face, gotta keep a bit, "Ah, haha, it’s cooler here."
Mrs. Xiao tentatively asked, "Enough coughing?"
"Enough," the team leader jovially, "Come, come, come, let’s discuss business! Did Xiao the Fifth really snag that cheeky girl Wen Ran?"
"Tsk! Your words are so nasty," Mrs. Xiao corrected, "Isn’t this our intention, asking you to mediate~"
The team leader completely ignored, floating now.
Hahahaha, crafty Mr. Zheng Sr., your counting beads really missed this time!
You may dial away those intellectual youth, but if they marry our team’s kid, who dares move them casually?
Hahahahaha~
The team leader’s face flushed red with excitement, praising Mrs. Xiao for raising a good son. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Mrs. Xiao: "..."
Regretting, perhaps better to take Matchmaker Zhou’s suggestion after all.
