He Yuzhu and Wang Matchmaker walked for about half an hour and finally arrived at Liujia Village. Although the village is not big, it gives people a sense of tranquility and simplicity.

When they just reached the entrance of the village, they were stopped by a patrolling young man. The young man looked very energetic, his clothes were patched but very neat, and there was a conspicuous red cloth hanging around his waist.

When the young man saw Matchmaker Wang, he immediately smiled and greeted her warmly: "Auntie Wang, you are here. Who is this?"

Then, he looked He Yuzhu up and down, his eyes revealing a hint of vigilance, and asked: "Who are you? What's the matter with you coming to our Liujia Village?"

Matchmaker Wang was afraid that He Yuzhu was young and hot-tempered and would be provoked by the young man's words, so she quickly explained: "This is He Yuzhu, the team leader of the third kitchen of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. He came here today to meet Liu Xiuxiu from your village."

After hearing Matchmaker Wang's explanation, the young man understood. He nodded and said, "So you are here for a blind date." Then he stepped aside and said, "Then please come in."

He Yuzhu and Matchmaker Wang thanked them, then successfully passed the checkpoint at the village entrance and headed towards Liu Xiuxiu's home.

The young man looked at the backs of He Yuzhu and Wang the matchmaker, and a look of joy appeared on his face. He was happy for Liu Xiuxiu and hoped that this matchmaking would be successful.

Liu Xiuxiu lived at the end of the village. Matchmaker Wang took He Yuzhu for about 10 minutes and finally arrived at Liu Xiuxiu's house. This was an ordinary farmhouse. The wooden furniture in the yard looked a little old, but it was still clean and tidy.

He Yuzhu noticed that there was a girl in patched clothes washing clothes by the well in the yard. Her hands were a little rough, obviously the result of frequent labor.

When matchmaker Wang saw Liu Xiuxiu, she immediately showed a friendly smile on her face and asked enthusiastically: "Xiuxiu, are you doing the laundry? Is your mother home?"

When Liu Xiuxiu heard the voice, she stopped what she was doing and stood up. When she saw He Yuzhu next to Wang the Matchmaker, she immediately understood who he was.

She secretly looked at He Yuzhu. His handsome face and clean clothes formed a sharp contrast with her own shabby clothes. She shrank back a little in shame, but still answered generously and appropriately: "Auntie Wang, my mother is in the room, please come in with me."

Although Liu Xiuxiu felt a little inferior, her eyes still revealed a hint of expectation. She hoped that this meeting would have a good result, maybe this was her destined person.

He Yuzhu looked at Liu Xiuxiu and couldn't help but be amazed. Although her face was thin, it was very pretty, with delicate features, as if it was a work of art.

He Yuzhu had never seen such a beautiful woman before, and his heartbeat accelerated involuntarily. He suddenly understood the meaning of love at first sight, as if he saw his future happiness at first sight.

At this time, Liu Xiuxiu's stepmother also heard the noise outside and came out. She opened the curtain and said to the matchmaker Wang enthusiastically: "His Aunt Wang is here, come in and sit down, Xiuxiu will pour a glass of water for your Aunt Wang."

Liu Xiuxiu said "hmm" softly, then stood up to pour tea. Matchmaker Wang had just confirmed with He Yuzhu, and knew in her heart that He Yuzhu was very satisfied with Liu Xiuxiu.

Matchmaker Wang didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly to Liu Xiuxiu's stepmother: "Aunt, this is He Yuzhu. He listened to your conditions and agreed. Let's see what your rules are."

Liu Xiuxiu's stepmother is not a greedy person, but she doesn't want Liu Xiuxiu to stay at home for one more day. After all, the youngest son in the family is still waiting to get married, and she needs to raise the betrothal money for the family as soon as possible.

So, she said to He Yuzhu and the others directly: "I don't have any rules. If you like me, give me the betrothal money today, and I will go to the village chief to write a letter of severance. You can just take the letter of severance and leave."

Liu Xiuxiu just walked into the room with a teacup in her hand and heard her stepmother's last words. Her face turned pale and her hands trembled, and she almost dropped the teacup on the ground.

Liu Xiuxiu's stepmother saw that Liu Xiuxiu heard her words and didn't care. In her opinion, she was very kind to Liu Xiuxiu by not marrying her off casually.

Liu Xiuxiu pretended to be calm and handed the teacup in her hand to Wang the matchmaker and He Yuzhu. She didn't want her emotions to affect the outcome of this blind date. She secretly glanced at He Yuzhu and found that he was also looking at her with a hint of concern in his eyes.

Matchmaker Wang took the teacup and looked at He Yuzhu without saying anything. Although she sympathized with Liu Xiuxiu's experience, she knew that she was not the one who made the decision.

He Yuzhu felt a little sorry when he saw Liu Xiuxiu's pale face. He originally planned to consider marriage a few days later, but now it seems that Liu Xiuxiu's stepmother's attitude is very clear, and it is not appropriate to keep her at home.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say." His tone was firm and there was a hint of determination in his eyes.

When Liu Xiuxiu's stepmother heard what He Yuzhu said, she immediately became happy. She said directly to He Yuzhu: "Then you follow me to the village chief's house." She was obviously in a much more relaxed mood. After all, the money for her youngest son to marry a wife was settled.

When the village chief saw Liu Xiuxiu's stepmother and a few people coming in, he immediately understood their intention. But he still asked habitually: "Liu Qiang's family, are you sure you want to break off the relationship?"

Liu Xiuxiu's stepmother answered affirmatively: "Uncle village chief, I am sure you can break off the relationship." Her tone was very firm, without any hesitation.

Seeing that no one else said anything, the village chief began to write the letter of severance, writing stroke by stroke as if he was recording an important historical moment.

After they finished writing, the village chief gave them the severance letter to sign. He Yuzhu and Liu Xiuxiu signed their names respectively, and then the village chief stamped it and handed them a copy each.

He Yuzhu took the letter of severance and handed the 10 yuan betrothal gift to Liu Xiuxiu's stepmother. At this moment, he felt a sense of responsibility. He knew that he would take on the responsibility of taking care of Liu Xiuxiu, and hoped that this choice would bring happiness to both of them.

Liu Xiuxiu's stepmother took the money and left with her little son without stopping. Her steps were brisk, and she obviously felt that the money came easily.

The village chief looked at the back of Liu Xiuxiu's stepmother leaving, then looked at He Yuzhu, and said earnestly: "Xiuxiu is a good child, I hope you can treat her well." His eyes were full of the care and expectations of an elder for a younger generation.

He Yuzhu replied firmly: "Uncle village chief, don't worry, Xiuxiu will be my wife from now on, and I will treat her well." His voice was full of power, showing a responsible attitude.

The village chief put his worries to rest after hearing He Yuzhu's assurance. He knew that this was all he could do for Liu Xiuxiu.

He Yuzhu seemed to see the village chief's worry and continued, "Uncle village chief, I'd like to trouble you to issue a marriage certificate for Xiuxiu and me."

The village chief did not hesitate and immediately began to write the marriage certificate. As he wrote, he reminded them: "You two should live a good life and support each other."

He Yuzhu took the certificate, thanked the village chief, and then turned to Liu Xiuxiu and Wang the matchmaker and said, "Let's go."

Matchmaker Wang nodded and walked out of the village head's house first. Liu Xiuxiu followed behind her, a little shy but with hope in her eyes.

The village chief's wife looked at their backs as they left and said to him, "I think this young man is in good condition. Xiuxiu is going to enjoy herself. Don't worry." There was a hint of comfort in her tone.

The village chief sighed and said, "I hope so!" There was a hint of worry in his eyes.
