Du Xia understood that besides being handsome, Zhang Yi seemed to have nothing else going for him.
But this statement wasn’t wrong; Zhang Yi was indeed a good-for-nothing man.
Chiang Yun felt that Zhang Yu’s words were disrespectful towards Zhang Yi, yet she couldn’t find a way to refute them.
How could she?
Zhang Yi’s career wasn’t going well, and although there had been hopes of marrying a wife who could provide support, it now seemed a difficult task.
Chiang Yun thought of the other families—they either gave no response or ridiculed Zhang Yi in various ways.
What could Chiang Yun do?
Apart from asking for help, all she could do was ask for help.
Remembering her mother’s words from her maternal home, if it were possible, she really didn’t want to bow her head in front of Zhang Yu, but she had no choice.
If she didn’t bow her head, what would become of Zhang Yi?
As long as it would benefit Zhang Yi, Chiang Yun felt that bowing her head was not an issue at all.
“Little Yu, do you have any suitable girls for Xiao Yi at your unit?” Chiang Yun knew if she didn’t speak up now, she wouldn’t know when else she could.
What?
Chiang Yun actually wanted her to recommend suitable girls for Zhang Yi?
But upon further thought, she understood.
After all, there were quite a few influential people at the conglomerate, and introducing someone to Zhang Yi might provide some help.
But the problem was, “Do you think the girl Xiao Yi fancies would fancy him back?”
“Would you be satisfied with the girls who fancy Xiao Yi?”
It wasn’t to say that all the girls in the conglomerate were influential, but there were also a number of capable girls.
However, the thing is, many girls had high standards, and someone like Zhang Yi really wouldn’t catch their eye.
Just as Chiang Yun was about to express some requirements, Zhang Yu came up with such a remark, which really infuriated her.
“So, in your eyes, Xiao Yi is not good enough.” Chiang Yun glared at Zhang Yu, fuming.
If her reply was not to her liking, she wouldn’t let it slide.
Zhang Yu felt helpless, “If you were the mother of a girl, would you want her to find a boyfriend like Zhang Yi?”
“Du Xia, would you want Zhang Xin to find a boyfriend like Zhang Yi?” Zhang Yu turned to Du Xia.
This question stumped Chiang Yun, leaving her unsure how to answer.
But Du Xia wasn’t fazed by the question, she answered quickly, “No way.”
“I can’t imagine my daughter, who I’ve raised with such care, ending up with such a man.”
“It would kill me.” Du Xia added finally.
Chiang Yun knew that Du Xia wouldn’t give her any face, but she hadn’t expected such a blatant lack of respect.
It infuriated her even more.
But no matter how angry Chiang Yun was, she could only swallow her pride and keep silent, knowing that to speak out would only mean losing face.
Du Xia was aware of Chiang Yun’s displeasure, but what could she do?
“Actually, it’s quite a talent for Xiao Yi to be handsome—it can trick young girls.”
“Some girls just like handsome boys.” Du Xia caught Zhang Shouhua’s glance.
Although she was resentful, there was nothing she could do—after all, he was the head of the family.
“Handsome is also an asset.
Some people want handsomeness but don’t even have such a good opportunity.” Zhang Yu really wasn’t trying to belittle Zhang Yi.
Actually, if Zhang Yi could really make good use of his handsome face, he definitely could live a better life.
But considering Zhang Yi’s temperament, could he let the other side have their way?
That was impossible—the young master how could he possibly yield to someone else?
Chiang Yun was the type of person who couldn’t bear to see her son at a disadvantage, and all Zhang Yu could say was, “Chiang Yun, you always side with your son, and even though the other family has a good background, you should know that they have a bad temper.”
“Could you bear to let Xiao Yi suffer?” Zhang Yu asked Chiang Yun a very critical question.
Let Zhang Yi suffer?
Of course, Chiang Yun couldn’t bear it, “Why can’t we find a sensible girl with good manners?”
“Do you think such a girl would end up with Zhang Yi?” Zhang Yu said helplessly, “The corporation has so many branches, and I could say there are plenty of talented young men.”
“When it comes to good girls, many are sorted out internally.
How do you think Zhang Yi can compete?”
“Is it a matter of educational background, money, or family background?”
“Honestly, he has nothing to boast about, except maybe for the ‘talent’ of living off a woman, but even his temper is terrible.”
“How do you expect me to make introductions?”
“Besides, I’m working out of town now, I don’t even know who in the company would suit Zhang Yi, as I’m not familiar with them.”
Zhang Yu admitted that even if she wanted to help, she didn’t have the means to do so, “After all, this is about Xiao Yi’s lifelong happiness.”
It was a joke, if she introduced him to someone unsuitable, it would definitely be her fault as his younger aunt, and she would have to bear the responsibility, not knowing how serious the consequences might be.
If the match turned out to be good, then it would be Xiao Yi’s destiny.
Being a matchmaker was never easy, let alone for Zhang Yi.
At that thought, Zhang Yu’s eyes flickered, “Actually, Chiang Yun, you shouldn’t ask me to help find him a match.
Shouldn’t you be talking to your husband?”
“He is a civil servant, after all.
Finding a daughter-in-law who’s also a civil servant would be ideal.” Zhang Yu felt this was the only way to make Chiang Yun truly understand her precious eldest son.
A civil servant daughter-in-law?
Chiang Yun felt like crying.
Did she not want to find one?
But the problem was that these people simply didn’t think highly of Zhang Yi.
It’s not that nobody liked Zhang Yi, but those who liked Xiao Yi were all non-staff workers.
In other words, they were just temporary workers.
How could Chiang Yun accept that?
To her, that was not helping Zhang Yi but a burden.
Seeing the silent Chiang Yun, Zhang Yu did not press further.
After all, Zhang Yi was Chiang Yun’s Achilles’ heel; if she spoke too harshly, she would spare no courtesy.
Du Xia watched this scene unfold, taking mental notes.
She decided that if Chiang Yun ever suggested that she introduce single female teachers from the school to Zhang Yi, she would politely decline using the same reasoning.
It was laughable to think of introducing someone to Zhang Yi, as it would only add to her own adversaries.
Glancing at Zhang Shouhua walking beside her, she decided to discuss it with him later.
In short, they would definitely not help with this favor.
Zhang Shouhua, noticing Du Xia looking at him, smiled at her and then whispered in her ear, “Let her dream on about striking it rich.”
Even if he was the nephew, who these days relies on a so-called nephew for retirement?
He’s not without a daughter.
Then looking at Zhang Yu, a person without offspring, she had no expectations of Zhang Yi providing for her in her old age; thus, they had even less reason to expect anything.
Seeing Zhang Shouhua’s attitude, Du Xia was pleased.
It didn’t matter if her in-laws were unhelpful, as long as her husband was accomplished and they were united.
Many people used to think there was no appeal in being a teacher, with the low income, but now the situation had changed, with teachers’ salaries on the rise.
That wasn’t even the main point—the most important thing was that tutoring really was quite profitable.
It was a pity they weren’t teachers in a prestigious middle school; otherwise, their income would be even better.
At a previous class reunion, Du Xia recalled the conversation where some classmates casually mentioned the current rates for tutoring, which she truly envied.
For the same duration of class, they earned as much as several of hers combined, but it was still not too bad—it was an income, after all.
Though she couldn’t compare her income to her classmates’, it was still earnings, and she wouldn’t need to panic when Zhang Xin went abroad to study.
