Xia Sanwa was just such a shameless person, otherwise he wouldn't have gone out of his way to betroth his daughter to Guo Biao initially. Now that he saw Wang Xiaoqiang acquainted with the County Public Security Director, and having had a bountiful harvest, he could be considered both influential and wealthy, so he immediately wanted to betroth his daughter to Wang Xiaoqiang.

Early the next day, he headed to the Big Mouth Supermarket, intending to ask Aunt Big Mouth, the matchmaker, for help. Unfortunately, she was at the village health clinic, so Xia Sanwa went there instead.

At that moment, there weren't many people at the health clinic. Aunt Big Mouth was chatting with Doctor Little Xu Xiaoya about Wang Xiaoqiang. Aunt Big Mouth asked, "Little Ya, how are things going with Little Qiang?"

Little Xu Xiaoya's white teeth nibbled her thin red lips, "Aunt Big Mouth, please don't bring that up again..."

Just then, Xia Sanwa entered the health clinic. The morning was quiet, and Aunt Big Mouth's voice was loud, so Xia Sanwa heard her words and thought to himself, could it be that Zheng Dazui was introducing Wang Xiaoqiang to Little Xu Xiaoya?

With suspicion, Xia Sanwa tiptoed to the window and eavesdropped on their conversation.

"What's wrong, Little Ya? Not fond of Wang Xiaoqiang?" Aunt Big Mouth believed there was no reason for Little Xu Xiaoya to look down on Wang Xiaoqiang. If there was no chemistry between them, it must be Little Xu Xiaoya who was not willing to marry into the countryside.

"..." Little Xu Xiaoya neither confirmed nor denied it but just shook her head and said, "Aunt Big Mouth, please don't mention it again. Let's pretend it never happened."

"You can't be serious, Little Ya. I'm telling you, Wang Xiaoqiang is quite something..." Aunt Big Mouth said, "He even cured my brother-in-law's leg..."

"Cured?" Little Xu Xiaoya said in surprise, "Is it with that massage technique?"

Zheng Dana was a local entrepreneur of renown, frequently visiting Sanmiao Village to see his nephew, and Little Xu Xiaoya of course knew him.

"That's right," Aunt Big Mouth said, "My brother-in-law even gave Wang Xiaoqiang eighty thousand yuan as a doctor's fee."

Upon hearing this, Little Xu Xiaoya had no particular reaction, but Xia Sanwa, outside the window, felt his heart skip a beat. Damn, did I hear that right? Wang Xiaoqiang can earn that much? He's practically a god of wealth!

"Aunt Big Mouth, what's the point of telling me all this?" Little Xu Xiaoya said unhappily, "Wang Xiaoqiang and I have no fate..."

Ever since Little Xu Xiaoya invited Wang Xiaoqiang to be her assistant at the health clinic, which he refused, the two had lost contact. Little Xu Xiaoya hadn't seen Wang Xiaoqiang again and thought he must be deliberately avoiding her. This left her feeling both loss and unwillingness, often secretly cursing that Wang Xiaoqiang couldn't recognize a beauty.

Being the dignified city girl she was, Little Xu Xiaoya, both in mind and appearance, was unwilling to admit that it was Wang Xiaoqiang who didn't see her worth.

Having eavesdropped up to this point, Xia Sanwa knew what was going on. It was clearly Zheng Dazui playing matchmaker for Wang Xiaoqiang and Little Xu Xiaoya, but it seemed that things hadn't worked out, which secretly relieved Xia Sanwa.

After taking a breath of relief, Xia Sanwa coughed loudly and then swaggered into the health clinic.

Aunt Big Mouth and Little Xu Xiaoya were both surprised by Xia Sanwa's sudden entrance and stared at him.

Aunt Big Mouth spoke up, "Sanwa, are you here to see the doctor?"

Xia Sanwa rolled his eyes and said, "As if I, Xia Sanwa, have ever been sick..."

Aunt Big Mouth laughed, "Sanwa, I heard you went on another drunken tirade last night, saying you wanted to betroth your daughter to Wang Xiaoqiang?"

Xia Sanwa, far from feeling embarrassed by this, sat down seriously in front of Aunt Big Mouth and said, "That was not a drunken rant. I was speaking the truth."

At these words, both Aunt Big Mouth and Little Xu Xiaoya wore peculiar smiles, and Little Xu Xiaoya said, "Uncle Xia, you're not feverish, are you?"

"Tsk, girl, your uncle isn't sick at all," Xia Sanwa replied, then looking at Aunt Big Mouth, he said, "You know, Big Mouth, I came to you today because I want you, the matchmaker, to set up Little Fang with Little Qiang!"

With these words, Aunt Big Mouth and Little Xu Xiaoya immediately realized that Xia Sanwa was indeed not sick; he really wanted to betroth his daughter to Wang Xiaoqiang.

Aunt Big Mouth instinctively gave Little Xu Xiaoya a meaningful glance, implying that Wang Xiaoqiang was now hot property, and if Little Xu Xiaoya didn't act quickly, she might miss her chance.

If Little Xu Xiaoya hadn't heard about Xia Sanwa's drunken episode the night before, she might have suspected that Xia Sanwa was a plant from Aunt Big Mouth, but she actually hoped that Xia Sanwa was just pretending instead of truly planning to betroth his daughter to Wang Xiaoqiang.

At that moment, she pondered to herself, how did Wang Xiaoqiang become so sought after?

"Sanwa, but hasn't Little Fang already been betrothed to the Guo Family in the city? You're just kidding your old lady, aren't you!" Aunt Big Mouth said with a dismissive roll of her eyes, sounding annoyed.

"True, Little Fang was betrothed to the Guo Family, but that was in the past. From today, my Little Fang has nothing to do with them anymore," Xia Sanwa stated proudly.

"Sanwa, who's going to believe that? You gambled away the Guo family's hundred-thousand-yuan betrothal gift, think they'd just let it slide?"

"So what if I gambled it all away? I'll pay it back when I have money later," Xia Sanwa boasted arrogantly, "Let me tell you some good news, that ex of Little Fang, Guo Biao, got into legal trouble, he's going to jail..."

"Really?" Aunt Big Mouth exclaimed in shock, "Doesn't Guo Biao have an uncle who's the chief of the local police station? With his protection, even if Guo Biao is fierce, he wouldn't get into trouble, right?"

"Pfft, the police station chief is nothing, he got arrested too!" Xia Sanwa spit all over as he spoke, and at this point, he deliberately kept them in suspense, "Do you know who got him thrown in?"

"..." Aunt Big Mouth and Little Xu Xiaoya held their breath, their faces full of anticipation.

"I'll tell you, it was Wang Xiaoqiang."

"Wang Xiaoqiang, which Wang Xiaoqiang?"

"Pfft, as if there's another Wang Xiaoqiang, Wang Kuishan's second son!"

"Wang Xiaoqiang has that kind of ability?" Aunt Big Mouth couldn't believe it.

"Uncle Xia, you're just blowing hot air again, right?" Little Xu Xiaoya also found it hard to believe.

"Whether you believe it or not, I saw it with my own eyes, let me tell you, Wang Xiaoqiang knows big officials in the county..." Xia Sanwa bragged, "Do you know where I drank last night? At the Hongbin Restaurant in the county town, hosted by the County Public Security Director... Isn't that awesome?"

"Uncle Xia, I get it," Little Xu Xiaoya said, "Wang Xiaoqiang knows the County Public Security Director!"

"Right, you're worthy of being a grandmaster, you're smart!" Xia Sanwa slapped his thigh and said, "The Public Security Director helped Wang Xiaoqiang take down the Guo family, and then took him out to dinner. As for me, I was invited to be the seat filler!"

As he spoke, Xia Sanwa wore a smug smile on his face.

Aunt Big Mouth also understood, but she didn't dare to believe it and thus shook her head, "Sanwa, what kind of tall tales are you telling this early in the morning? The County Public Security Director helped Wang Xiaoqiang and even took him out to dinner, does Wang Xiaoqiang really have that kind of clout?"

"Don't believe it? Go ask Dali's wife, she was there too," Xia Sanwa said earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Big Mouth believed him somewhat, and she glanced at Little Xu Xiaoya with a complex look. She began to understand why Little Xu Xiaoya and Wang Xiaoqiang hadn't gotten together. It was probably because Wang Xiaoqiang had moved up in the world and now looked down on Little Xu Xiaoya!

Xia Sanwa wiped the spittle from his mouth and got back to the point, "Big Mouth, you really have to help me with this. There's absolutely no problem on Little Fang's side. You just have to work on Little Qiang, and if the two kids get together, whatever you ask of me, I won't be stingy..."

"Sanwa, you're not planning on forcing your daughter to marry someone again, like last time, are you?" Aunt Big Mouth looked at Xia Sanwa with disdain, "How do you know Little Fang would agree to marry Little Qiang?"

"Pfft, don't I know my own daughter's heart as her father?" Xia Sanwa showed a triumphant look, "Last time Little Qiang even helped irrigate our land. That girl Little Fang invited Little Qiang to dinner, even offering my ginseng wine to entertain Little Qiang, they are quite into each other..."

As he said this, Xia Sanwa rubbed his left and right thumbs together.

Little Xu Xiaoya got goosebumps all over.

Aunt Big Mouth felt that Wang Xiaoqiang and Xia Guifang would make a handsome couple and wanted to play matchmaker, but considering Little Xu Xiaoya, she naturally couldn't agree. Giving Xia Sanwa a complicated look, she said, "What bad timing. Little Qiang and Doctor Xu are currently seeing each other, I can't break them up."

Upon hearing this, Xia Sanwa gave Little Xu Xiaoya a glance and then shook his head vigorously, "I can assure you, Little Qiang doesn't like Doctor Xu, he likes my Little Fang. Little Fang and Little Qiang are childhood sweethearts, and they were classmates too..."

Xia Sanwa's blunt words made Little Xu Xiaoya quite indignant. She thought to herself, you praise your daughter but don't drag me into it, hmm, I just can't believe I'm any less than Xia Guifang!

"Sanwa, if Little Qiang and Little Fang are so close, then why do they need me as a matchmaker? Nowadays, free love is in fashion..." Aunt Big Mouth said coldly.

"You're right, it doesn't matter whether I need you or not!" Xia Sanwa said proudly, getting up and walking out, "Pfft, if it comes to it, I'll do it myself."

No sooner had Xia Sanwa left than Aunt Big Mouth solemnly reminded Little Xu Xiaoya, "You'd better hurry up, Doctor Xu, or you really won't stand a chance!"

Little Xu Xiaoya was stunned.
