Chapter 32: How Can This Be Possible?

TL: Etude

"What did you say, could it be…"

Chen Jianghai turned around and, upon seeing the matchmaker, he found himself unable to finish his sentence.

"Eh, Master Chen, how come it's you?"

Sister Sun was equally surprised to see Chen Jianghai.

Chen Jianghai never would have expected to encounter Sister Sun here.

No wonder he had found the voice familiar earlier but hadn't been able to place it right away.

Seeing that the two knew each other, Xue Chunli and Lin Jianguo were dumbfounded.

Sister Sun initially had a happy expression, but it quickly turned into a frown, and with a puzzled look, she turned to Xue Chunli and her husband, asking, "You're their son-in-law?"

"Um, yes, that's me."

Chen Jianghai admitted it quite openly.

Upon hearing Chen Jianghai's confirmation, Sister Sun immediately showed her displeasure.

"How can this be! Master Chen, with your skills, who dares to say you're no good?"

She couldn't help but let her gaze fall on Xue Chunli.

Xue Chunli felt more and more that something was amiss, and with a frown, she asked, "Sister Sun, could you have mistaken him for someone else?"

Sister Sun glanced at Xue Chunli, shook her head, and said, "Do you even know what your son-in-law does for a living?"

"He?"

Xue Chunli paused, then said disdainfully, "Isn't he just loafing around all day, doing nothing? What else could he be good at!"

Sister Sun waved her hands repeatedly and said, "Ai, I don't know what you all are thinking. Having such a son-in-law is a joy to others, yet here you are, thinking of replacing him?"

Lin Jianguo listened and felt that something was off. Out of curiosity, he asked, "What... exactly does my son-in-law do?"

"He repairs electrical appliances, and he makes good money!"

Sister Sun declared with animated expressions, "Just in our area, he can make more than a hundred in a day."

"What? A hundred a day?"

Xue Chunli exclaimed in shock, unable to believe that this was true.

She knew that working herself to the bone at the factory, she only made a little over two hundred a month.

Chen Jianghai could earn over a hundred a day; how much would that be in a month...

It was almost unthinkable!

Sister Sun affirmed confidently, "That's right, Master Chen's skills are worth the price!"

Xue Chunli looked deeply at Chen Jianghai. Could what her daughter said be true?

But it was too hard to believe!

Sister Sun then turned to Chen Jianghai with shining eyes and whispered, tugging at his arm, "Master Chen, if you really get divorced, how about I introduce my sister to you? If you meet her, you'll definitely be satisfied. In terms of looks and temperament, she's absolutely not inferior to your wife!"

Hearing Sister Sun's words, Lin Wanqiu immediately became anxious.

She glared and said, "You... don't talk nonsense, we didn't say we're getting a divorce!"

"Yes, Sister Sun, we're very happy together, that's not the case!"

Chen Jianghai also chimed in.

Hearing this response, Sister Sun sighed with a look of regret, "Oh, that's really a pity."

After clearing up the situation, Sister Sun left in a huff, leaving behind Xue Chunli and Lin Jianguo with faces full of astonishment.

In their eyes, Chen Jianghai suddenly seemed enveloped in an aura of mystery.

A man who had been good-for-nothing and lazy, was actually skilled and could make a hundred a day?

How... how could this be possible?

After Sister Sun left, Lin Wanqiu finally said to her parents, "Mom and Dad, do you believe it now?"

Xue Chunli, at a loss for words, took Lin Jianguo back to their room.

Seeing that they weren't targeting Chen Jianghai any longer, Lin Wanqiu's face finally showed a hint of a smile.

Chen Jianghai had not anticipated that Sister Sun's unexpected appearance would actually work out in his favor, saving him the trouble of having to think of ways to step by step change the image his in-laws held of him.

"Honey, your parents won't force us to divorce anymore, right?"

Chen Jianghai said with a laugh, holding Lin Wanqiu's hand.

But who knew that Lin Wanqiu would suddenly stop smiling and, with a stern gaze, asked Chen Jianghai, "Tell me, what's the deal with Sister Sun's sister?"

Uh!

Chen Jianghai opened his mouth, saying, "I have no idea!"

...

In the room, neither Xue Chunli nor Lin Jianguo spoke.

The couple stared at each other, still not having digested the news they had just received.

Xue Chunli was quite unhappy now, and Lin Jianguo did not dare to speak.

"Old Lin, do you think what Sister Sun said just now is true?"

Xue Chunli asked with a frown.

Lin Jianguo scratched his head and said, "I think... it must be true!"

"What do you mean it must be true? Wasn't it you who found this matchmaker, Sister Sun? When did you find her?" Xue Chunli's gaze turned sharp.

Lin Jianguo's neck shrank as he stammered, "Last... last month, right? Didn't you ask me to find her?"

"Last month? Are you saying that it's possible Chen Jianghai just happened to know this matchmaker and asked her to put on this act?"

Xue Chunli couldn't help saying.

Lin Jianguo really wanted to say: What are the chances of that!

But seeing the look on Xue Chunli's face, he opened his mouth but ultimately didn't dare to speak.

"Perhaps, it's possible," Lin Jianguo finally said cautiously.

Xue Chunli's spirit was ignited, "I knew it! How could that guy make a hundred yuan a day! I'd never believe it. And to think he'd introduce his sister? Who would push their own sister into a pit of fire?!"

"That scoundrel, to think he colluded with outsiders to deceive us, he's nothing good!"

"Indeed, he's nothing good!" Lin Jianguo quickly agreed.

Xue Chunli took a deep breath and declared decisively, "Let's not say much for now. We'll wait for Wanqing to come back, then we'll deal with him!"

"Alright." Lin Jianguo naturally agreed wholeheartedly.

As long as his wife wasn't angry, everything else could be discussed.

Chen Jianghai had explained for half a day, nearly running out of saliva, and finally dispelled Lin Wanqiu's suspicions.

At this moment, Xue Chunli and Lin Jianguo came out of the room.

Xue Chunli sat with an expressionless face, while Lin Jianguo followed obediently, not uttering a word.

Lin Wanqiu stepped forward wanting to say something but was pulled back by Chen Jianghai.

"Sit down, it'll be okay when your sister comes back," Xue Chunli suddenly said.

Hearing her mother speak in this manner, Lin Wanqiu thought they were no longer targeting Chen Jianghai, and a smile appeared on her face.

Chen Jianghai also had not expected that his first visit to his mother-in-law's home, which he had thought would be full of difficulties, would end up passing so smoothly.

In retrospect, he had to thank that Sister Sun.

The only issue was that Sister Sun, accustomed to playing matchmaker, even wanted to introduce her own younger sister to him.

And right in front of his wife, Lin Wanqiu...

After waiting for about ten minutes, the sound of a car bell came from outside.

Hearing the noise, Lin Jianguo immediately stood up excitedly and said, "It must be Wanqing coming back, I'll go check!"

After saying that, he was eager to run out.

The atmosphere in the courtyard was too oppressive.

"Stop right there! Chen Jianghai, you go!" Xue Chunli shouted at Lin Jianguo, then pointed at Chen Jianghai.

Lin Wanqiu quickly said, "Mom, I'll go with Jianghai."

After speaking, Lin Wanqiu pulled Chen Jianghai out with her.

Lin Jianguo was left with a look of dejection.

Seeing this, Xue Chunli grew angry again.
