SIAS Chapter 216.1

Not only did Yi Qingqing send things home, but her family also sent her a package and letter every month.

The contents of the package varied. Sometimes it was pickled vegetables at home, and sometimes it was new fabrics bought by her mother or new clothes made for her.

Originally, she said that she had royalties and could get meat in the mountains, so she didn’t need her family to give her any more money or tickets. However, although there was not much money in the package, there would still be some tickets every time.

If she didn’t count the things in the New Year gift package, these were all things she really needed. It could be seen that her family had carefully considered them for her.

As usual, she took the package sent by her family, opened it on the steps at the door of the post office, read the letter, and then added some words to the last half page of the reply to herself based on the content of the letter before sending the letter.

Since the beginning of this year, the first half of the monthly letter from her family has been about the family situation or asking about her current situation, and the second half is a record of her mother’s progress in blind dates to find a wife for her brother.

Her mother told her this in a nice way, saying that it was to broaden her horizons and open her eyes.

These were the ‘blind dates’ that her mother had once considered, but gave up after much inquiry. Her brother had never met them at all. They came from various families and had various temperaments and experiences.

Most of the women her mother looked for were those who had previous marriage experiences, and their experiences were all complicated. Combined with the reasons why her mother gave up after observing them, it really broadened Yi Qingqing’s horizons, as if she were reading a novel.

In this letter, Yi Qingqing saw her mother praising one person so much for the first time. This person was not introduced by someone, but her mother saw the person when she went to Yi Qingqing’s father’s factory.

“That girl is incredibly pretty, a beautiful sight in a factory filled with men and the smell of engine oil. A lot of people gossip about her, calling her a vixen. But she’s a girl who’s become a master craftsman through her own skill, which is better than many men. I think they’re just jealous. Can a true vixen have such skill? Pretty people are prone to criticism, just like your mother and you were.” (T/N: Mother Yi still doesn’t forget to praise herself and her daughter~)

“In addition, she was brave enough to fight with her alcoholic ex-husband. I liked her at first sight. I heard that she took the initiative to divorce! Nowadays, it is rare to see women who are brave enough to resist and take the initiative to divorce.”

“I observed her for a while and liked her more and more. She is a progressive woman with ability and ideas. Most importantly, she is also good-looking. I want to find someone like her for your brother.”

“I heard that she had been married for several years, but still had no children. Her ex-husband beat her because of this, saying that she couldn’t lay eggs, which was why she divorced him. However, after the divorce, her ex-husband, who was originally supported by her, had no money and came to make trouble again. To me, with her ex-husband’s drunkenness, it’s not anyone’s fault that she can’t have children! Even if she can’t have children, I like her!”

“She just got divorced not long ago, and it seems that she has no intention of looking for another one. I’m afraid a direct meeting wouldn’t work. Recently, I’ve asked your Dad to try to get your brother on that girl’s side. Let him pursue her first, and then I’ll help. I’ve decided on this daughter-in-law! She’s so pretty. I’m sure he’ll like her…”

In the letter, her mother’s love for the girl is overflowing, but isn’t the word ‘good-looking’ emphasized too many times?

Yi Qingqing discovered for the first time that her mother was also a face control.

However, a woman who can become a master craftsman in a machinery factory is truly extraordinary.

Working in a machinery factory requires not only skills, but also physical strength. Mechanical parts and other things are very heavy, so the workers are basically men. It is really not easy for a woman to become a master craftsman.

Moreover, she was able to take the initiative to resist an unhappy marriage. At that time, it was said that women could hold up half the sky, but there were still many old ideas and concepts that bound them. Few people divorced, and even fewer women took the initiative.
