CHAPTER 161: CHAPTER 161: ARE YOU CRAZY?

Wen’s mother stared at her, as if trying to determine whether she was telling the truth or a lie.

Yi Chichi didn’t avoid or dodge, looking straight into her eyes.

"Sigh!"

A soft sigh escaped from Wen’s mother, her shoulders slumped as she asked weakly, "Chichi, how about dating my Wen Shi?"

"I think it’s possible."

Mu Da chimed in, and Yi Chichi had a horrified expression, "Master’s wife, can you not meddle randomly?"

"No, I can’t."

She said it confidently and emphatically.

Yi Chichi had a bitter face, "Is it really that unforgivable for me to not have a partner?"

"Not really, but at your age, you should actually start thinking about it."

Now, there’s no way to study, and starting a career in the current environment seems unlikely.

The only viable option is to consider building a family.

Mu Da said earnestly, "If you don’t plan to remain unmarried forever, Wen Shi really is a good match."

"His ideal revolutionary partner is a woman who can literally lift him."

This time, it was Wen’s mother and Mu Da who were dumbfounded.

They looked at each other, their faces shocked as if they were a meme.

What a peculiar preference, actually hoping for a woman who can lift him.

"Aside from that..."

There’s more?

The two looked at Yi Chichi with a startled expression, just to see her start chattering.

"She must be strong and not cry easily, able to handle things... also..."

Finally, when she finished, she spread her hands out, "See, aside from not crying easily and being able to handle things, I don’t meet any of his other requirements."

Her implication: don’t start matchmaking randomly.

Wen’s mother’s face looked despairing, "With requirements like this, our Wen Family will end up with no heirs."

With her son’s height, only girls with natural strength could possibly lift him.

Yet, girls with natural strength are one in a million, if that.

Even if one exists, her son would need the luck to meet her...

The more she thought about it, the sadder she became, but she calmed down and spoke astonishingly, "Chichi, are you interested in being a teacher for once?"

Yi Chichi, "??? What do you mean?"

"To educate Wen Shi into your ideal partner."

Mu Da’s eyes lit up, "That’s a possibility, you can either educate him into multiple ideal partners or let him fend for himself and you can walk away."

Yi Chichi was at a loss for words, not a surprise from someone who survived the war years, her open and progressive thoughts were impressive.

But admittedly, it was feasible.

Forming a family with someone to share the rest of her life seemed too challenging for her.

After all, she’s a sucker for good looks and tends to get bored easily, who knows when she’d grow tired.

But training someone into a suitable partner, especially if the man is of top-tier looks and height, she might give it a try.

With that in mind, she began weighing the pros and cons in her heart.

Wen’s mother, thinking she was unwilling, urgently persuaded, "You can give it a try, my son may have many flaws, but at least he’s presentable and tall, don’t you agree?"

"Yes!"

That’s a fact, Yi Chichi saw no reason to deny it; after all, Wen Shi was genuinely good-looking.

His physique was great too.

"So you..."

"Does he have a girlfriend?"

This needed to be confirmed; if he did, she wouldn’t bother getting involved.

If not, she might give it a try, life needs some surprise and excitement.

Yi Chichi had a bit of a restless gene by nature, in the original world, besides embroidery, she loved extreme sports the most.

Outside of work, she’d either go skiing, skydiving, or play wing suit flying.

Therefore, there was a bit of hesitation in her words.

Wen’s mother noticed it, feeling relieved and cheerfully said, "No, he just sent a telegram saying his boss’s wife was trying to set him up with someone, and he’s annoyed."

Before the words were finished, she took out the telegram from Wen Shi from her pocket and handed it to Yi Chichi, indicating for her to take a look.

Yi Chichi reached out to take it and began reading, Mu Da curiously leaned over to look.

Then, after reading, Yi Chichi was expressionless; these were Wen Shi’s words, straightforward beyond straightforward.

Mu Da sighed, "Before I came back, Wen Shi just made the leading lady from the performing arts troupe cry."

"What did he say?"

Wen’s mother had an expression as if she couldn’t believe her son could be so clueless.

"He asked if the girl’s cerebellum was underdeveloped, otherwise why would she throw herself onto him, and advised her to see a doctor and check her brain."

Bringing up this matter, Mu Da was speechless.

Yi Chichi burst out laughing, "Did the girl throw herself at him?"

"Yes, he jumped three feet away, letting the girl fall to the ground, and then made sarcastic remarks."

Wen’s mother felt hopeless, grabbing Yi Chichi’s hand like it was the last straw, pleading, "Chichi, I entrust my son to your guidance, please be sure to teach him well, and use any special methods if necessary."

Before Yi Chichi could respond, Mu Da curiously interjected, "What special methods?"

"Chichi can do acupuncture, make medicine, and even disassemble bones."

Grinding her teeth, Wen’s mother spoke with such intensity that Yi Chichi and Mu Da got goosebumps.

This was one devoted mother, going to great lengths to find a partner for her son.

Yi Chichi nodded in agreement.

Then, the three women huddled together to discuss where to start.

They went around in circles but didn’t come up with a good plan, mainly due to the long-distance between the two, one in the south and the other in the north, making contact difficult and making it hard to do much.

After pondering for a while, Wen’s mother, with a determined tone, said, "I’ll call him tomorrow to feel him out."

Before the other two could respond, she got up and walked out.

"Forget it, I’ll go now."

Before the words were out, she had already run off.

Mu Da and Yi Chichi looked at each other, and after a while, she sighed, "This development is a bit unexpected for me."

"It’s pretty good."

Mu Da spoke sincerely, "Though Wen Shi’s personality is hard to describe, there’s no denying he’s an excellent young man."

At this point, she patted Yi Chichi’s shoulder, "If you don’t plan on spending your life alone, it’s wise to seize the quality resources within reach early on."

Yi Chichi just smiled, "That’s why I agreed."

Mu Da pinched her cheek, "Do you really not feel any attraction towards Wen Shi?"

"I do."

"In what aspect?"

"He’s good-looking."

Especially those eyes that look at even dogs with deep affection, those are the eyes she loves.

"It’s pleasing to the eye, better than looking at something ugly."

"Yeah."

She responded, starting to assemble the embroidery frame.

Meanwhile, Wen’s mother, having borrowed a bicycle from the team leader’s house, was already on her way to the commune post office.

This mother and son were doers, Yi Chichi didn’t know the specifics of their exchange, but in just a few days, when the postman came down to deliver packages and letters, he said there was a registered letter for her.

She tore it open, and the content was simple, just two sentences.

The first sentence: Heard you’re willing to educate me?

The second sentence: Write to me, I’ve enclosed stamps and ten dollars for communication costs.

Thoughtful to say the least, ensuring she wouldn’t be at a loss.

Yi Chichi couldn’t help but laugh softly, and Uncle Yaozi looked at her as if she were crazy.

"Are you nuts?"
