Chapter 428 Such a daughter-in-law is exactly what she wants(1/2)
"Professional mourner?" Chen Yonggui was confused. What kind of profession is this? He had never even heard of it.
Looking at his expression, Jiang Feng knew that he didn't understand this profession, so he explained: "Uncle Chen, the profession of mourner means helping others mourn. We don't have this profession here, but there was one in Guangdong Province a hundred years ago.
Already."
"Helping others mourn?" Chen Yonggui heard this and was really eye-opening. He never thought that there was such a profession in the world.
Jiang Feng nodded and said, "Yes, I help people mourn. My client's mother is quite famous among them. There are quite a few people who ask her to help with mourning."
After Chen Yonggui was shocked, he couldn't help but hesitate in his heart. The man's mother could spend more than one million at a time to get her son married. This family's wealth is indeed extremely strong for an ordinary family like them. If his daughter marries
In the past, this was too high a goal.
But now that he heard about the occupation of the man's parents, Chen Yonggui couldn't help but frown. This occupation is indeed a bit unlucky!
As a rural person, Chen Yonggui may not be very superstitious, but he is somewhat taboo about this kind of thing.
Looking at Chen Yonggui who looked troubled, Jiang Feng enlightened: "Uncle Chen, actually there is no need to pay too much attention to this kind of thing. Could such ethereal things as gods and ghosts be more terrifying than poverty?"
Chen Yonggui, who was afraid of poverty, nodded with deep feeling and said: "Mr. Jiang, you are right. What is more terrifying than poverty in this world? A job that can make money legally is a good job."
Jiang Feng smiled and said: "That's the truth. If you are afraid of being discriminated against, the young couple does not need to stay in the man's hometown after marriage. With the one million given by the man's parents, it is not difficult at all to settle down in second- and third-tier cities across the country.
In this way, the young couple can at most go back to the man's hometown during the holidays, and the career of the man's parents will naturally have little impact on the young couple.
Even abducting the man to settle down here in Guizhou Province is not impossible. As long as the two of them really fall in love with each other, this can be discussed. "
Chen Yonggui's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his heart suddenly became enlightened. He said with some excitement: "As long as we can settle down in our province of Guizhou, I will try my best to facilitate this marriage."
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Uncle Chen, it's okay if you have no objection, but now is an era that values freedom of marriage. Parents can no longer arrange marriages like before, so I have to trouble Uncle Chen to call and communicate with your eldest daughter about this matter.
Tell her clearly about the situation in the man's family.
If your eldest daughter agrees to go on a blind date, then we can take the next step. Uncle Chen, do you think this is okay?"
Chen Yonggui nodded and said: "Mr. Jiang, you are very considerate. Please wait a moment. I will call my eldest daughter first to talk about this situation."
"Well, then I'll walk out front and use the restroom. Uncle Chen, please call me after you communicate with your daughter and family."
"OK."
After watching Jiang Feng go away, Chen Yonggui took out his cell phone and called his eldest daughter Chen Fengmei.
As soon as the call was connected, the eldest daughter's voice came: "Dad, at this time, you should be walking in Yongjiang again, right?"
"Well, it's a walk in Yongjiang River."
The father and daughter chatted for a while, and then Chen Yonggui said: "Fengmei, dad called you today because he has something to talk to you about."
Chen Fengmei asked: "Dad, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Chen Yonggui said: "It's about your life-long event. Just now a matchmaker named Jiang from the Happy Dating Agency came to me and said he would introduce you to a partner. I think the man's conditions are indeed good, so I called to ask for your opinion.
."
This incident was obviously beyond Chen Fengmei's expectation. She was surprised and said: "Dad, you are too impatient. I am only twenty-three years old and you are going to go on a blind date for me?"
Chen Yonggui said: "I know you are still young, and I originally planned to let you negotiate by yourself, but didn't you just meet someone with good conditions?"
Chen Fengmei did not reject it right away. From her father's tone, the man's conditions should be quite good, so she said: "Dad, what conditions does the man have that make you so satisfied?"
Chen Yonggui said: "The man is from Henan Province. He is 25 years old this year. He is 1.75 meters tall. He looks pretty good. He has the same education as you and his salary is similar to you. Overall, he is a good match for you."
Hearing this, Chen Fengmei knew that her father must have something more to say.
Because based on her understanding of her father, the man is two provinces away from her. If the man only had such conditions, her father would definitely not agree to her marriage, let alone praise him for his good conditions.
Therefore, if she guessed correctly, the man's family background should be good.
As expected, her father briefly introduced the man's situation, then changed his tone and said: "Although the man is also from a rural area, his family background is better than that of many urban people. His parents are engaged in some special occupations. These
I have made a lot of money over the years.
I heard the Jiang matchmaker tell me that if the man gets married, his mother will spend one million in cash to buy him a house and a car, and his mother will also pay for the bride price. For a family like ours, the man’s family
You can be considered very wealthy!"
Chen Fengmei was shocked when she heard this. She guessed that the man's family must be well off, but she didn't expect that the man's family could provide more than one million in cash.
Chen Fengmei is also self-aware. Her figure and appearance are only above average. If the man only comes from a well-off family, then she thinks she is worthy of him.
But the man's family background has obviously exceeded the well-off level, and his conditions in all aspects are not worse than hers. Chen Fengmei has no confidence that the man can like her.
Thinking of this, Chen Fengmei sighed and said: "Dad, with such a good family background, how can you think highly of me? You'd better not waste your efforts!"
Chen Yonggui said: "This is not necessarily true, because his mother is engaged in a special profession, and this profession is discriminated against by many people."
Chen Fengmei frowned, and some kind of illegal occupation with a bad reputation flashed in her mind, but then she shook off that thought and asked: "What occupation is his mother engaged in?"
Chen Yonggui said: "I heard from Jiang's matchmaker that he is called a professional mourner."
Chen Fengmei was stunned when she heard this: "Professional mourner? Is there such a profession in the world?"
Chen Yonggui said with some emotion: "This is indeed a very rare profession. If the matchmaker Jiang hadn't mentioned it to me, I wouldn't have known that there was such a profession in the world, which is dedicated to mourning for others. It's incredible."
When Chen Fengmei heard this, she immediately pictured a picture in her mind: a middle-aged woman wearing mourning clothes, crying so hard in front of a stranger's mourning hall...
When she thought that this middle-aged woman was her mother-in-law, Chen Fengmei couldn't help but said: "Dad, this profession is too bad. I won't say whether it's bad luck or not. We young people don't believe this anyway.
But you just said that this profession is discriminated against by many people. Presumably, his mother was also discriminated against by others. If I were to marry, I would probably be criticized behind my back. How can I live my life like this?
I’m afraid it’s not interesting at all!”
Chen Yonggui said: "You don't have to worry about this. Matchmaker Jiang said that as long as the two of you fall in love, he can tell the man that it's not impossible for him to come and settle down in our province.
In this way, for your husband's family, you can just take time to go back with him during the holidays, but for us, as long as you don't take the initiative to expose it, no one will know that your husband's family is doing this kind of work."
When Chen Fengmei heard this, her heart moved. If this was the case, it would really have no impact on her. She couldn't help but ask: "Dad, are you sure that she is willing to leave her hometown and settle down in our province of Guizhou?"
Chen Yonggui said: "Let's just put forward this condition. If the man agrees, then we have to talk. If he doesn't agree, then forget it. What do you think?"
"Well, if that's the case, then I don't have a problem with it."
"Okay, then I'll talk to that Jiang matchmaker and call you if anything happens."
"OK."
…
While Chen Yonggui was on the phone with his eldest daughter, Jiang Feng also dialed Yuan's mother's phone.
The phone was connected and after greeting each other, Jiang Feng got straight to the point: "Auntie, I have found a suitable partner for your son!"
Yuan's mother, who had just returned to her hometown, was overjoyed when she heard this. It was really fast, and she quickly asked: "Master Jiang, please tell me about the woman's situation."
Jiang Feng responded and briefly introduced: "The woman is from our province in Guizhou. She is 23 years old. She is 1.62 meters tall. She has an average build and looks. She has the same education as your son. She is currently working in Guilin and her salary is about the same as your son.
She also comes from a rural area. Her father works as a security guard in the provincial capital, and her mother works in the orchard and raises chickens and ducks at home. She has four siblings, and she is the eldest. Two younger brothers are currently studying in college, and the youngest sister is studying in college.
high school.
The above is her personal situation and her family’s situation.”
Yuan's mother is also from the countryside. She has two sons and a daughter. She is quite satisfied with the fact that the woman has four siblings. Girls from this kind of family are not squeamish and can endure hardships, not to mention all kinds of housework.
After all, this kind of daughter-in-law is exactly what she wants.
Therefore, Mother Yuan nodded repeatedly and said, "Master Jiang, the girl you are looking for is quite good. I wonder if you have mentioned my career to her and her family?"
Jiang Feng said: "I told her father about your occupation, auntie, and her father said he could accept it, but there is one condition."
Mother Yuan asked: "What are the conditions?"
Jiang Feng said: "Her father hopes that your son can come to our province to buy a house and settle down. It doesn't matter which city he is in, as long as he is in Guizhou province."
Upon hearing this, Mother Yuan responded readily: "Okay, that's no problem at all."
There was a reason why she was so cheerful. In her hometown, her whole family was ostracized and they basically had no good neighbors. She had already planned to leave her hometown and move to another place after she made enough money to stop working in this profession.
local life.
Therefore, even if the woman did not make this request, she would not let her son buy a house in her hometown. Instead, she would choose to go to other cities, as far away from her hometown as possible, so that no one would know their family.
You can live a normal life without being discriminated against anymore.
As for Guizhou, it is far enough away from her hometown that it completely fits her plan.
The eldest son will settle here first, and later the second son and daughter will try to settle here as well. Then their family will be able to live in the same city.
Hearing Yuan's mother readily agreed, Jiang Feng smiled and said: "Auntie, if there is no problem with you, then I will arrange for you two families to meet and talk. Considering that your two families are relatively far apart, we will try to do it once.
Now that the marriage has been decided, auntie, when will you have time?"
Yuan's mother said: "I haven't taken on any work in the past two days. I can accommodate the woman's time. As long as you tell me in advance, I can spare time."
Jiang Feng said: "Okay, I understand. I will discuss the specific meeting time with the woman later, and I will call Auntie to tell you when the time is set."
"no problem."
"Well, let's do this for now and talk about it later."
"OK."
