By the time the matchmaker realized what was happening, the person had already vanished.

Wang Xiaojiao was exasperated: “How could you scare someone away like that, you brat?!”

All the planning over the past few days has been for nothing!

Not only was it a lot of effort, time, and money was spent!

Su Fu yawned: “Grandma, I’m not saying this to criticize you as a junior.”

That guy’s weak; what if I accidentally slap him to death during a nightmare in the middle of the night?

Wang Xiaojiao couldn’t hold back any longer: “You have the nerve to say that? Someone like you would have to kneel down and kowtow twice to anyone willing to marry you!!”

Su Fu’s round eyes drooped, her expression one of utter grievance and disappointment.

“Grandma, I’m a high school student, and while I’m not exactly beautiful, I’m not ugly either. How could you say that about me?”

She took out a handkerchief and wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes.

“You can’t bully me just because my parents are gone. I’m still your granddaughter, your own granddaughter!”

After the performance, Su Fu covered her face and ran away. Anyone who saw her would think she was the one who had been bullied.

Wang Xiaojiao wanted to pursue the matter, but the matchmaker held her back: “If this didn’t work out, don’t blame me; it’s your family’s problem.”

Wang Xiaojiao was furious: “Give me my money back, or I’ll tell everyone you’re heartless!!”

Even if the task wasn’t accomplished, the losses must be recovered.

She spent almost ten yuan on this trip, and it was really painful for her.

The matchmaker scoffed, “Go ahead and talk to them. You’re no better than me. At worst, we’ll both end up with nothing!”

The two started arguing and then fighting, while the receptionist watched the spectacle, making “tsk tsk tsk” sounds.

They only started taking stock of the losses after they had finished fighting.

“Don’t you know where you are? You have to pay for the broken dishes and chopsticks!”

Wang Xiaojiao hated the matchmaker to the core, and she hated Su Fu, who had run away, even more.

Su Fu has already arrived at the compound. She needs to tell her godmother about accompanying Li Mingyu back to the city.

Liu Xiulian was very happy to see Su Fulai. She and Li Weiguo carefully selected several suitable families.

“Fufu, go back after you finish eating. Your godfather has a lot to say to you.”

Su Fu sipped her sweet brown sugar water: “Alright, godmother, I’ve come here today with important business to discuss.”

She couldn’t talk about receiving money from Li Mingyu, so she only talked about what she could.

“She’s my only friend in the village, I can’t just stand by and watch her get bullied.”

Liu Xiulian was a little worried: “What if…”

Su Fu hugged her arm: “Godmother, I’m not stupid. If something really happens, I will definitely go to the police. Godfather will definitely find out then.”

Liu Xiulian knew that she was always opinionated, so after asking a few words of concern, she didn’t say anything more.

“What about blind dates? Your godfather searched for a long time before finding someone with good character. That young man only joined the army last year and is already a platoon leader.”

Su Fu was somewhat tempted: “Godmother, is he good-looking?”

It won’t work if she’s not good-looking; Su Yi is only nice to her because she’s beautiful.

What did her father say back then? “Give birth to an ugly monster, and you won’t even have an appetite for food.”

Su Fu thought this made a lot of sense. Marrying an ugly man and having an ugly child… the future would be ugly from every angle.

Liu Xiulian didn’t know either; she didn’t see the person, and there were no photos.

“As long as the person is a good person, looks don’t matter.”

Living life is about making the most of everything, and living it well is more important than anything else.

Su Fu said firmly, “Godmother, I think appearance is very important. I want to find someone good-looking.”

Liu Xiulian laughed out loud: “You’re just too young. You’d marry a penniless man who beats his wife?”

Su Fu considered it seriously: “If he really is as handsome as Pan An, that’s not a bad thing, after all, he might not be able to beat me.”

Liu Xiulian: …I almost forgot, Fufu looks easy to bully, but she’s actually very strong.

“Your godfather wants you to enlist in the army, but you don’t want to go.”

Su Fu sighed, “After all, no one is like my godfather, wholeheartedly serving the people. I just want to be a citizen, a citizen who doesn’t cause trouble.”

Liu Xiulian stopped talking; she couldn’t argue with that girl’s mouth, which was full of twisted logic she didn’t know where she’d learned it from.

If looks matter… then finding a partner will be even harder.

You have to ask for photos beforehand, which raises the bar considerably.

The dowry should be prepared in larger quantities so that Su Fu will have more confidence after marriage.

Liu Xiulian truly treated Su Fu like her own daughter, and Da Dong and Xiao Xi also treated her like their own sister.

“Well, I just bought some meat today. I’ll have lunch at home before going back.”

Su Fu rolled up her sleeves: “Godmother, I’ll cook.”

She has a real talent for cooking; with the same ingredients, seasonings, and cooking methods, her dishes always taste better than others.

Liu Xiulian didn’t stop him: “Then you sit down first, I’ll go get two ounces of liquor and buy your favorite soft drink.”

Su Fu smiled and said, “Okay.”

After Liu Xiulian returned from shopping, she went into the kitchen to help. By the time the food was ready, Da Dong had already picked up Xiao Xi from the daycare.

“That smell…is Sister Fufu here?”

Su Fu came out of the kitchen carrying dishes: “You have such a sharp nose, how’s your studying lately?”

Xiao west skipped and hopped around: “Sister Fufu, the teacher praised me today!”

Su Fu patted her head: “Xiao west is so great, she’ll eat a couple more pieces of meat later.”

Da Dong quickly pulled out his test paper: “Sister Fufu, I got 98 points.”

Su Fu gave a thumbs up: “Da Dong is great too, you should have a couple more pieces.”

Liu Xiulian smiled and told the two children to wash their hands, saying that they could eat when Li Weiguo returned.

Su Fu, Da Dong, and Xiao Xi all had the same expression while drinking their soda, which was quite amusing to watch.

When Li Weiguo heard Su Fu say she was going to the city, he was a little worried but did not stop her.

As children grow up, they will eventually have their own ideas.

But when she said she would look at a man’s face when choosing a partner, her brows furrowed tightly.

Li Weiguo earnestly advised: “The most important thing when looking for a partner is good character, ambition, and a harmonious family…”

Su Fu blinked pitifully, “Godfather, what if I lose weight because I can’t eat?”

Li Weiguo: …

To be honest, Su Fu isn’t exactly thin, but she looks very healthy.

But her face was round and her eyes were watery, making her seem easy to manipulate.

Thinking of how thin and emaciated she had become, Li Weiguo frowned repeatedly.

“Then let me give you some advice.”

Su Fu put a piece of meat on her godparents’ plate, and also put some on the two children’s plates.

“It’s okay if we can’t find it. At worst, we’ll just split up and I’ll go back to work in the fields.”

The Li family: “That won’t do!”

Su Fu: “Hehe, what if I find the right one in the city? You never know what fate might bring.”

After dinner, Liu Xiulian went to wash the dishes, and Su Fu gave Da Dong a test.

Li Weiguo sat in the living room reminiscing, recalling which of his comrades had the best-looking faces before he retired from the army.

Su Fu felt a warmth in her heart; at least there were people in this world who genuinely cared about her.

It feels so good to be cared for and loved.
