Because Xiaohai's cousin had a girlfriend in real life, this kind of blind date was just a perfunctory way to deal with his parents. Naturally, he did not like anyone.
After the first girl called Ceng Dan failed, Third Aunt introduced a few more girls, but all of them were not suitable.
First Aunt scolded him for having "high standards" and asked Third Aunt Kong to continue looking. Third Aunt Kong had been a matchmaker for more than ten years, so her "professional sense" was very good. She could tell at a glance whether Liang Xiaohai really wanted to find a wife or not.
However, matchmakers generally did not want to offend people, so she did not say it out loud. She only said that there was no suitable candidate for the time being and asked Liang Xiaohai to look for one in real life.
This made the Liang family, who were looking forward to it, very anxious. Even Liang Meijuan rushed back to the countryside from the city to participate in Xiaohai's cousin's criticism.
A large group of people sat in the courtyard. The incandescent lamp was lit high up. All the rural families in Northern Jiangsu had this kind of lamp. This was so that they could work on the farm at night. The men smoked while the women fanned themselves to drive away the blood-sucking mosquitoes.
Grandma's big black dog was lying at the door, and the croaking of frogs was ringing in her ears. The stars were shining brightly in the blue sky, and the vast wheat fields were sleeping in silence. Not far away, she could see a few fireflies dancing in the reeds. This was something that couldn't be seen in the city or Jianye.
"Who do you think you are? You don't like this and that. Ceng Dan is so good. She is a girl who can endure hardship."
First Aunt was the first to speak. The elders' opinions were similar to Chen Hansheng's. They also felt that the girl with a square face and thick eyebrows was the most suitable.
Xiaohai's cousin sat in the middle. He lowered his head and did not speak. He endured his family's complaints and anger.
Liang Meijuan's personality was more impatient. She was also his aunt, so she could not help but participate. "I even introduced him to a girl who works at a gas station. Although it is not a government agency or a state-owned enterprise, the benefits are good. In the end, he did not like her."
"That's right!"
First Aunt agreed. "Hansheng even rushed back from Jianye to accompany you on the blind date. How can you face your cousin?"
Although Liang Meijuan did not have a good relationship with First Aunt, at this time, they would automatically form a "united front" because Liang Xiaohai was their son and nephew.
As Liang Meijuan spoke, she waved her palm-leaf fan. Chen Hansheng sat beside her. In fact, Liang Meijuan was fanning Chen Hansheng. From time to time, she would hit Chen Hansheng's leg with the palm-leaf fan to drive away the annoying mosquitoes.
As soon as the two women opened fire, all kinds of weapons were revealed. There were AK47, millet rifles, howitzers … The elders all criticized Xiaohai's cousin for being immature and wasting everyone's time.
His grandparents were also frowning. Liang Xiaohai was their eldest grandson. If he didn't get married, what would happen to his younger siblings?
Chen Zhaojun didn't say a word. He generally didn't express his views on his wife's family matters. Basically, he communicated with Liang Meijuan after he went back.
This was because Empress Dowager Liang had too many siblings. Chen Hansheng could casually speak in Xiao Rongyu's family. Because Xiao Rongyu was an only child, her parents wouldn't favor her.
"Xiaohai, if you can't get married, just get married to Ceng Dan."
First Uncle was a pure rural person. He rarely even went to the city and basically stayed in the countryside. Therefore, when he spoke, he had a simple and honest tone.
"I don't even like her, why should I get married!"
Liang Xiaohai refuted his father. He had been holding it in for a long time.
However, he didn't dare to provoke First Aunt and Liang Meijuan. Moreover, his grandparents were old. Therefore, he could only vent his anger on his father.
First Uncle scratched the back of his head and closed his mouth. He was not good at quarreling and didn't know how to quarrel at all.
First Aunt glared at first Uncle impatiently. You can't even control your son, what kind of father are you?
"In short, I don't care."
First Uncle showed the unreasonable manner of "mothers", "You have to get married on National Day. Even if you have to register with a dog, you have to get married!"
Chen Hansheng couldn't help but laugh. Liang Meijuan often said this kind of sentence, "In short, I don't care, you have to get married …"
Liang Meijuan saw that her son had a strange smile on his face. Not knowing what this dog is thinking of again, Liang Meijuan used more strength to slap the mosquito, reminding him to pay attention to the situation.
There was no helping it, mothers had this kind of right.
This time, Liang Xiaohai didn't dare to refute and only muttered, "I looked for you, but you didn't agree to it."
"Can I agree to it?"
It would be fine if Liang Xiaohai didn't mention this matter. Now that Liang Xiaohai mentioned this matter, First Aunt was filled with anger. She pointed at Liang Xiaohai and said, "He found a girl in a factory, and she is not even from Sudong Province. In that place, the betrothal price starts from 100,000, and Ceng Dan only asked for 30,000. Furthermore, the distance is very far. In the future, if I want to go and visit my relatives, it will take me 2 to 3 days by car."
"Don't you have a plane …"
Liang Xiaohai tried to explain.
"Fly your head!"
First Aunt angrily used the cattail leaf fan to hit Liang Xiaohai's head, "Do you have the money to take a plane? Now that you don't even have a job, you can't eat a beautiful woman!"
First Aunt used all her strength to hit Liang Xiaohai. Hearing the sound of "Pi Li Pa La", the big black dog was so scared that it stood up from the ground and looked at First Aunt vigilantly, fearing that it would also be hit.
Chen Hansheng met Liang Xiaohai's cousin's girlfriend before. In the afternoon, Liang Xiaohai took out the photo of Liang Xiaohai's cousin and asked Chen Hansheng if she was beautiful.
This girl was indeed more beautiful than Ceng Dan, but showing off in front of Chen Hansheng wasn't very interesting. Liang Xiaohai wasn't even close to the standard of the "Top Beauty Appraiser" Shang Yeonyeon, let alone Shen Youchu and Xiao Rongyu.
"Who said that I don't have a job!"
Liang Xiaohai covered his head and shouted, "Hansheng said that he will find a job for me, and I will work for my cousin, can't I?"
"What?!"
The elders all looked at Chen Hansheng. It was also the first time that Old Chen and Liang Meijuan heard about this, and their eyes were filled with surprise.
"Why are you all looking at me?"
Chen Hansheng spread out his hands, "Cousin Xiaohai asked me to help him, how can I refuse?"
This was also true, but some elders always felt that Chen Hansheng was just a college student, could he really have such great ability?
Second Uncle thought for a while and asked, "Hansheng, how many people do you have in your company right now?"
Chen Hansheng counted, "There are more than 10 people in the headquarters. If you include the student agent, I estimate that there are more than 100 people. If you include all the part-time college students, there are already more than 1000 people."
"So many people?"
Second Uncle cried out in surprise.
Chen Hansheng said indifferently, "It is useless to have a lot of people, it is just a small amount of money. I can only earn 34 cents per express delivery. In fact, this is already considered good. In the beginning, in order to increase my influence, I wanted to earn even 10 cents profit …"
Hearing Chen Hansheng talking about his entrepreneurial experience, even Eldest Aunt's attention was attracted, "Hansheng, you said that you had a few hundred thousand RMB last year, isn't it 1 million RMB now?"
"Of course …"
Just when Chen Hansheng was about to show off, Liang Meijuan suddenly used the cattail leaf fan to hit him a few times, as if she was slapping a mosquito. However, this rhythm was only known by the mother and son.
Therefore, Chen Hansheng had to suppress his desire to show off, "I do have 1 million RMB, but it was all used to develop the market, and right now, I don't have much liquid capital in my hands."
"Oh ~ ~ ~"
The elders nodded, but they didn't fully understand. In short, they came to the conclusion that this eldest grandson (eldest nephew, eldest brother, and eldest cousin) was very promising.
"Hansheng, when Xiaohai goes to Jianye, you can order him around or scold him. Anyway, don't treat him as your cousin. However, we are a family, and Xiaohai will never hurt you. You can ask Xiaohai to help you supervise and take care of things like finance. If he is not suitable for you, then forget it."
Eldest Aunt was "speaking the truth". She probably wanted to remind Chen Hansheng that Xiaohai was his biological cousin and must be placed in an important position.
However, Chen Hansheng didn't seem to understand and said directly, "Of course Xiaohai is not suitable. He knows nothing about finance. Besides, we are cousins at home, and in the company, I am the boss. If he is not suitable, he can only leave."
At first, Liang Meijuan was very angry. She also understood that Eldest Aunt's words had a hidden meaning. The company had a normal operating system, so how could they treat a relative differently?
However, Chen Hansheng's ruthless answer didn't seem to be suitable.
Xiaohai's cousin's face turned red and white. Chen Hansheng supported his face for an entire day, and this far exceeded the responsibility of being his cousin. In the end, when they talked about the company, Chen Hansheng once again showed such an expression.
Eldest Aunt said slowly, "This is for the best, this is for the best …"
Only Old Chen looked at his son and breathed out the smoke with a smile.
… …
After returning home at night, Liang Meijuan indeed told Chen Zhaojun about the change in her son's attitude.
"After Han Sheng said that, everyone seemed to have lost interest and quickly dispersed."
Liang Meijuan said worriedly while applying moisturizing facial cream on her face, "Isn't this not too good? It will affect the relationship between relatives."
"It will more or less affect it a little, but this is the best way to deal with it."
Chen Zhaojun said, "With Hansheng's personality, if you ask him to wear expensive clothes at night, he will definitely not do it. It is also not too realistic. After all, it has already been on TV. Since it can't be hidden, then in the future, relatives will have to borrow money, find jobs, solve problems, and so on. "
"Hansheng probably wants to pass on this kind of thought."
Old Chen sat on the bed while wearing pajamas and analyzed, "I can help you do things, but you have to listen to me. If you can't accept it, then you can leave. Luckily, he is used to being generous, and relatives will accept and thank him in the end."
Liang Meijuan pondered for a moment, then said with emotion, "These days, good people always have no principles, and bad people can turn hostile at any time."
"Hehe, this is Hansheng's personality and experience, helping him make the best choice in an instant."
Old Chen smiled gratifyingly.
"Even if he is the richest man in Sudong Province, he is still my, Liang Meijuan's, son."
Empress Dowager Liang said fiercely. After applying the facial cream, she noticed that there was only a little left on her hand, so she said to Old Chen, "This facial cream is very expensive, don't waste it, I will apply it on your face."
"Forget it, I don't like to apply makeup."
"Come here!"
