Wu Youliang, a liar, had no inkling of Huangfu Jun's true intentions.
He sat on the stool, and seeing that Huangfu Jun had all the equipment ready, immediately launched into a tale of woe.
"We were introduced by a matchmaker and met on a blind date. The matchmaker said that the Xu family's girl had a soft personality, no backbone, and wanted to find an older partner—someone with a car and a house, honest and with good character.
"My parents passed away early. As for me, I wanted to marry a wife who could hold up the family, not someone timid. But the matchmaker kept praising how steady and capable Old Xu's daughter was, so I agreed to meet her. I didn't expect that after meeting, the girl would set her sights on me. I saw that the Xu girl was honest too. Since she took a liking to me and wanted to marry me, what could I, a grown man, say? We'd just get through life together, so I didn't refuse her kindness."
Beside him, Wu Yiren quickly chimed in, "That's right, that's right! Old Xu's eldest daughter was quiet and dull. My nephew didn't take a liking to her at first. If it weren't for his kindness and soft heart, we would have called off this engagement! My nephew lost his parents early, but he's always been strong-willed. He hasn't spent more than a few months at home these years—he's been doing business in Huacheng and Pengcheng, and he's saved up a lot of money. A house, a car—he's got it all! Old Xu's family is known far and wide as a poor household. Xu Dali only smokes and drinks heavily, and his second wife doesn't care for the kids at all—she spends all day at the mahjong table. Officers, tell me, isn't a family like this lucky to be related to our Wu family?"
