Chapter 629: 629. Introduce a few to come for blind dating_1 Chapter 629: 629. Introduce a few to come for blind dating_1 The tea leaves had been pruned for a while, and if you went to the tea garden now, you could see from afar the gray-brown tea branches covered with a sparse layer of green buds.

Based on this growth rate, it’s feared that in another month or so, they could continue with the harvest.

And looking at the old leaves scattered all over the yard, how could these be mere old leaves? They were clearly golden leaves!

Song Tan thought to herself that it was truly deserved, the bit of Spiritual Energy she had started with had really fed the tea leaves well, they were indeed thriving!

Otherwise, when the construction team came yesterday to discuss the start date for work with her, she would have had to check again to see what else she could sell.

Looking at the message from Tian Tian on her phone, asking what time they usually go down to the field in the morning, saying she would come help pick sesame seeds after eating…

Look at this, what a godsend of an employee! No salary required, and she even feeds herself before coming over!

If only she had known that Zhou Tianyu could meet such a good girl on a blind date, she would have kept him in their hometown at all costs, arranging a date a day!

But now…

She showed Wu Lan the message the girl had sent, and Wu Lan, like a calculating mother, was also beaming with joy.

Of course, she was not a competent capitalist, and she sighed:

“The poor girl, not even staying home for meals, you still have to pay her salary. Otherwise, it would look bad when recruiting workers at the end of the year.”

“I know.”

What future is there in short-term labor? Skinflint Song planned to coax people with wages to stay on as long-term workers!

Meanwhile, Wu Lan joined the army of workers packaging the spice packets, moving slowly as she spoke seemingly carelessly:

“Lanhua, that girl you told Tianyu about, is her family really in difficult circumstances?”

Don’t mention it, talking about it filled Li Lanhua with pain: “Yes, isn’t it? Haven’t I told you? They are not only in debt, but also facing heavy burdens in the coming years. Otherwise, why wouldn’t I pick such a good girl?”

Li Lanhua meant every word of this sincerely.

After all, Tian Tian had told her everything honestly, and she had asked around, otherwise, she wouldn’t have given up so readily.

Wu Lan sighed, “Well, debt, if you work hard, there’s always a day when it can be paid off. If the kid has a good character, you can’t let her go!”

At this, Li Lanhua felt even more heartache.

“That’s what I thought at the beginning too. I was sighing about it to you the other day, saying that if only my family had the means, I definitely couldn’t miss out.”

As she spoke, her hands didn’t stop for a moment, very adroit.

“But think about it, Wu Lan. The girl is the eldest in her family, and she has a younger brother who, I heard, is doing quite well at our city’s key high school, and he’s certainly going to college.”

“Even if their parents were healthy, how much could they earn in the village in a year? It’s another thing whether the debt can be paid off by the time the child goes to college.”

“Also, think about how expensive it is to go to college now. The tuition alone costs thousands of yuan a year, and living expenses for a boy, regardless of how much you try to cut back, wouldn’t he starve without eight or nine hundred yuan a month?”

“If it really concerns the child’s future and we become one family, what can we do if they come to borrow money?”

Borrow, and her family was already living from hand to mouth, eating into the next month’s provisions.

Not to borrow, after having such a relationship, would hurt too much.

After much thought, they could only give up such a good girl.

Actually, Li Lanhua was not someone who fixated on money in normal times.

But when you’re poor, your aspirations shrink. Her family had only saved a bit more this year, just enough to cobble together the down payment for a house in Yun City, but a wedding required more than just a down payment, not to mention the dowry, three gold gifts, and all that… wasn’t it another 100,000 yuan at least?

In the village, gift-giving wasn’t like in the city, with these kinds of celebrations, you’d typically only get ten or twenty thousand yuan as a gift, just enough to cover the cost of the banquet.

With such circumstances, she could hardly make ends meet herself. How could she possibly help somebody else?

Aunt Chen initially mentioned that the family was a bit poor, and even Li Lanhua was pondering over it, thinking that even if the bridal price was given, they could use it to repay debts.

But she hadn’t expected the family to be so poor.

The parents needed rest to recover, and the future of the brother required a lot of money. The girl had now become the only strong labor force… It was then she reluctantly gave up.

Indeed, Li Lanhua had already spoken about this. However, Wu Lan’s reason for asking again was for this moment–

Sighing, she said:

“Ah, what a pity. A promising university student should not be wasted–Tantan mentioned that tomorrow our family will be harvesting sesame, and we thought about inviting someone to help with the work, they could earn a good one or two hundred yuan…”

Li Lanhua burst into laughter:

“Now I see why you were asking back and forth! Go ahead and invite them, as if I would feel uncomfortable over this!”

Listening on the side, Song Tan thought to herself, isn’t it precisely because you’re afraid of making them uncomfortable?

Aunt Lanhua wasn’t that kind of person, but in some families, if the matchmaking didn’t work out, they would become sworn enemies, or take a disliking to one another…

And now, the only reaction from the other side was regret–this Tian Tian has an impressive emotional intelligence!

Tsk tsk tsk, why is a young girl in such a hurry to get married? Earning money is the right way.

Therefore, Song Tan also said with a smiling face:

“Aunt Lanhua, my mom is just worried you might get jealous!”

“Jealous? Jealous of what?”

Li Lanhua was puzzled.

Song Tan continued:

“You see, both of my cousins were helping out at home, and they’re both still single. And there’s our Teacher Xin, who is also talented but alone.”

“You speak so highly of Tian Tian, one in a million, and now my mom is tempted, thinking about inviting her over to work and to observe her…

“If it’s suitable, it would also be good to introduce her to one of these three bachelors in my family.”

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this:

“That’s great, Wu Lan! It’s no wonder you asked so much; you’re planning to cut in on the deal!”

Wu Lan also realized, and now with a smiling face, she said: “Cut in on what deal? You all said your family wasn’t suitable. It’s different here; we have plenty of boys. Let the girl choose!”

Everyone then joked and laughed for a while.

The topic went back and forth but returned to Song Tan once again:

“Tantan,” Aunt Chen said with a smile, “you worry about your cousins and Teacher Xin in your family, but why don’t you worry about yourself? You’re also over twenty this year, right? Ah, you should also start dating someone!”

“How about it? Tell me what kind of requirements you have, and I’ll look around for you.”

Song Tan wasn’t the least bit resistant:

“Well, I have low requirements, as long as he can do farm work. Aunt Chen, if you know any hardworking and willing guys, feel free to introduce them to me.”

Upon hearing this, Aunt Chen laughed:

“Are you too modest? If that’s really all you ask for, then there are quite a few available. Are you going to consider them all?”

“So what?”

Song Tan said earnestly: “Of course I have to consider them all. Hard work is just one aspect, but with so many people, don’t I have to choose who is efficient at work, who has outstanding character?”

She said sincerely:

“Auntie, I’m serious. If you know someone, just introduce them to me.”
