Chapter 26: I’m Here to Be a Matchmaker 

The man saw Ji Xiaoyue and turned to Fu Liye, “This girl, is she the woman you mentioned?

She seems pretty good.”

Ji Xiaoyue always acted silly and innocent in front of people, like a simpleton.

Ji Xiaoyue came in with tea.

There was no tea at home, so she could only give them boiled water.

Fu Liye saw Ji Xiaoyue and asked her, “Why didn’t you come to see the children?”

Ji Xiaoyue answered him, “You might not have been there when we went, so I didn’t go.”

Actually, she didn’t want to see Ji Dahai’s family for now.

If she went, they would think she was trying to get back in their good graces.

The man who spoke said to Ji Xiaoyue, “I know your father, Ji Dahai. He… he came to see your mother?”

Ji Xiaoyue didn’t want to expose Ji Dahai, she smiled and said, “He’s very busy, he doesn’t have time to come. I grew up in the countryside, and I’ve been living a good life with my uncle and aunt.”

At this time, Wang Guihua had already brought Sun Dahua and Sun Gensheng Sheng.

They saw the people in military uniforms and approached nervously.

The man who spoke said, “I’m Wang, the political commissar of Li Dahai’s unit. We’ve already sent people to investigate and inquire about Li Dahai’s matter.

We’re here to confirm it, and after it’s confirmed, the organization will punish Li Dahai.”

Political Commissar Wang looked at Sun Dahua and asked her, “Are you Li Dahai’s wife in the village? Did you have a wedding ceremony?”

Sun Dahua was a little scared and looked at Ji Xiaoyue.

Ji Xiaoyue pulled her, “Cousin, just say what you have to say.”

Sun Dahua paused for a moment and said slowly, “Leader, Li Dahai and I got married, everyone in the two villages knows. We had a wedding with more than ten tables, anyone you ask will know.”

Political Commissar Wang nodded, “Then what kind of compensation do you want?”

Sun Dahua paused for a moment and said slowly, “I was a nanny for her family for two years, and I also took care of his son, settle these accounts with me, and we’ll have nothing to do with each other.”

She said, very aggrieved, “I was sincere to Li Dahai. Even if she wants to find a free nanny, she shouldn’t cheat people like this, it’s too immoral.”

Political Commissar Wang was surprised when he heard Sun Dahua’s words, “You just want to settle the accounts? No other demands?”

Sun Dahua shook her head, “My reputation is ruined, these things have already happened, there’s no way to make up for it.”

Ji Xiaoyue interjected, “Leader, my cousin’s reputation is ruined, you know that people in the countryside value reputation very much.

If the organization comes to a conclusion, I hope that Li Dahai’s family will come with the village officials from both villages and their relatives to apologize to my cousin.

At least this will let everyone know that my cousin is not a divorced woman, it’s Li Dahai who did something immoral and shameless.”

Political Commissar Wang paused for a moment and nodded, “Okay, an apology is necessary. We’ll bring Li Dahai with us to apologize when the time comes.”

After hearing about Li Dahai’s matter, he went to see Commander Wei.

Commander Wei’s family was also tricked by Li Dahai, they didn’t know he was married in the countryside.

He said at the time that he would send the child to the countryside to be raised, saying that he had a sister at home who took care of his mother, and she could help take care of the child.

Who knew, the sister at home wasn’t a sister, she was his wife.

“Okay!” Sun Dahua nodded.

Political Commissar Wang looked at Ji Xiaoyue and smiled, “Comrade Ji Xiaoyue, I have another matter here. Fu Liye asked me to be his matchmaker, he said he wants to marry you, what do you think?”

Ji Xiaoyue was stunned, “Isn’t this too soon?”

Political Commissar Wang smiled, “He’s not young anymore, he has two children at home, it would be much better if there was a woman to take care of them. I’ll just mention this to you today. I’ll go talk to your father, Ji Dahai, later.”

Ji Xiaoyue frowned and refused when she heard this, “I’ve already cut off ties with the Ji family. My uncle and aunt are the ones who make decisions for me.”

Political Commissar Wang was surprised when he heard Ji Xiaoyue’s words, but he didn’t ask any further.

Because he also knew about Ji Xiaoyue’s matter, he lived in the same compound, how could he not know about Ji Qingqing’s dirty little secret.

“Okay, I’ll just mention it to you, you can discuss it with your family. We’re mainly here today to talk about Li Dahai’s matter.” Political Commissar Wang said.

He looked at Sun Dahua and said, “Comrade Sun Dahua, I’ll help Li Dahai agree to your request. Regarding the money you spent taking care of his mother for the past two years, I’ll help him deduct it from his salary for the next two years.

You’ll receive his salary for the past two years. We’ll set a time for the apology and come back.”

Sun Dahua nodded, “Okay, thank you, leader.”

After that, Ji Xiaoyue turned around and went inside to pack a box of pig head meat and cold dishes for each of them.

“This is the cold dishes and pig head meat we made ourselves, try it.” Ji Xiaoyue enthusiastically handed each of them a box.

This box was specially requested from Jianguo Restaurant, it was for giving gifts.

Now these two dishes had become Jianguo Restaurant’s signature dishes, many people came to the restaurant specifically to buy these two dishes.

They were about to refuse, but Ji Xiaoyue smiled at them with a simple expression, “This is the pig head meat we made ourselves, it’s not expensive, take it.”

The officers could already smell the aroma through the bag. People nowadays didn’t have much oil and water, and the smell made their stomachs rumble.

After refusing a few times, they all accepted without hesitation.

When Fu Liye was leaving, he said to Ji Xiaoyue, “I’m resting at home tomorrow, come over and see the children,

“I have something I want to talk to you about.”

Ji Xiaoyue didn’t act coy, she nodded, “Okay, I’ll come over after I deliver the food to Jianguo Restaurant.”

Fu Liye smiled and nodded.

Ji Xiaoyue watched them leave.

Sun Gensheng finally came back to his senses and asked in a daze, “Li Dahai really married the daughter of a commander in the city, what about my Dahua?

If she gets married again, she’ll be a second-time bride, how will she find a husband in the future?”

Ji Xiaoyue looked at Sun Gensheng and said directly to him, “Uncle, your daughter is very good, kind, hardworking, smart, and ambitious. She will be better and better in the future, she doesn’t need to get married to be valuable.”

Sun Gensheng looked at Ji Xiaoyue and murmured softly, “If she doesn’t get married, who will she depend on? Daughters are meant to get married.”

Sun Dahua spoke up at this time, looking seriously at her parents, “Mom and Dad, Xiaoyue and I have agreed, I’ll go to the city with her in the future, I can help Xiaoyue make money and do business during the day, and I’ll go to night school at night, I want to go to college.”

Sun Gensheng and Wang Guihua didn’t expect Sun Dahua to say this, they were both dumbfounded.

They stared blankly at Sun Dahua and stammered, “You’re older than Xiaoyue, you only went to elementary school, can you go to college?”

Sun Dahua said seriously, “Of course I can.”

Ji Xiaoyue also said, “Uncle, Auntie, we’ll continue to do this pig head meat business, I’m the only one who knows the recipe, even if others copy it, it won’t taste as good as ours.

This business can last for several years. You know it’s very profitable. Your cousin going to school won’t be a big burden on you.”

Wang Guihua paused for a moment and then nodded, “Okay, I support my daughter’s decision.”

Sun Gensheng also nodded, “Okay, Dad supports you too.”
