it another weirdo!""Alright, calm down. Drive carefully and please don't get distracted again." I nervously soothed him.My brother was fuming. He had spent the night with a naked corpse and just got f...Mu Yunfan, though sharing the same blood as me and being my sibling, has a different life experience, upbringing, and personality despite some similarities in our looks.

He lived alone in this city with his parents from a young age. He didn't lack paternal or maternal love, and being away from his hometown, he wasn't exposed to many of the murky affairs there.

As the eldest son and grandson, his status was different from that of his other siblings. He was the center of attention when he returned home, so he developed a cheerful and confident personality.

After his mother passed away, he lived with his father. Life for the two men was undoubtedly rough, but it also shaped his easygoing and humorous personality.

Besides helping his father manage the business, he was shrewd and calculating, his quick wit evident. He had seen much in life and was far more mature than others his age.

So this older brother of mine has always been someone I looked up to.

In contrast to me, who was raised in isolation, thinking I was the object of my grandfather's special affection, until that day when I was sent to the cellar, I realized I was a sacrificial offering.

Grandpa is a complex person whose life is a legend, difficult to summarize.

One thing is clear: besides his grandmother, he is willing to sacrifice anyone.

He doesn't care about the slurs and misfortunes that befall his descendants, let alone me, just one of his great-grandchildren, who doesn't have a deep connection with him.

Now that Grandpa is so kind to my brother and me, it's partly because my brother reminds him of his younger self—a trustworthy head of the household. There's also the fact that he's being protected by the divine, making him afraid to cross me.

So my brother, this young man, is bold and confident in his handling of family affairs. After becoming the nephew-in-law of Jiang Qiyun, he became even more fearless.

As soon as he heard Lin Yanqin ask if they should capture him alive, he became immediately excited, like someone had injected him with chicken blood.

Causing trouble, causing trouble... he just couldn't wait to stir up some commotion.

Lin Yanqin whispered, "... there's a matchmaking event for local residents ahead, at a market on the roadside. There are so many people! They've taken up the whole road! I just passed by and they asked me to take a detour. They said no vehicles were allowed in, saying it was too dangerous with all the children running around. I think we could use this to our advantage..."

My brother immediately replied, "Don't worry, kids don't understand cooperation. I'll go in and grab a girl!"

Pffft…

"Are you trying to become the village enemy" I asked my brother.

“No, no, it's enough to cause a commotion and have the villagers block the road. Just lure that car to near the market, then have the villagers surround and block the road. That car won't be able to escape, Miss Lin's bodyguard can just go up and grab him!” My brother said with a grin.

I feel a little dangerous, my brother's appearance, although not breathtakingly handsome, is still at the school grass level! And he's also driving a car worth over a million!

A handsome young guy with a luxury car, don't you even need to go on blind dates

It's estimated that even if they were to go straight to the bridal chamber, there would be no objections.

Are there still places with simple folk customs Places without exorbitant dowries, houses, and cars Matchmaking events are probably gatherings that prioritize family background, aren't they

"Brother, you'd better not snatch her away. I'm afraid she'll cling to you and then your aunts and uncles will drag you around, refusing to let you leave. They'll force you to consummate the marriage! What then"

"This..." My brother's expression froze for a moment.

On the phone, Ms. Lin's intelligence exploded in this moment. She immediately said: "I can pretend! I'll go buy two sets of clothes right now, learn a couple of phrases for 'help' and 'robbery', and just shout them out when the time comes!"

I was stunned.

My brother suddenly chuckled softly, his meaning unclear.

He thought Lin Yanqin was funny, didn't he A young lady who was so bored she spent her days looking for things to do. She reacted to his pranks with childish eagerness and didn't even need him to tell her what to do.

"Well said, pretending to be a point!" my brother replied with a laugh.

In the past, going to a market was a very important activity in rural areas. Many essential goods and novelties came from the market. Nowadays, going to a market has become a folk custom activity, with most participants being people from nearby cities who come to buy organic and pollution-free food.

Today's matchmaking event was organized by the local community and included single men and women from surrounding villages within ten miles. Villagers came with their families to join in the festivities.

It's always reported that there are more unmarried men in rural areas, and they can't afford to marry because of poor economic conditions, while women have a natural advantage because they can give birth. Therefore, most women move to cities.

Over time, this resulted in a situation where women were scarce, and the requirements of these women were quite high. It was rumored that they demanded a dowry of "ten thousand purple five-yuan bills, one thousand red hundred-yuan bills, and countless green fifty-yuan bills," adding up to sums like 168,800. They also expected immovable assets like cars and properties.

Old Chen was once chatting idly and said that in his mother's hometown, there was a millionaire widow who made her fortune by marrying and having children.

The widow married a man at the age of 19. She only asked for tens of thousands of yuan in dowry, and then gave birth to a boy and a girl in three years. The man's family treated her like an ancestor.

But she didn't have any feelings, nor did they get married. She just ran away with tens of thousands of dollars in gift money.

At that time, sky-high dowries started to appear. She demanded another 88,000 yuan from another family. After receiving the dowry and settling down, she lived for six years, giving birth to two daughters and a son.

At this point, the woman was also in her thirties. Seeing young girls around her going out to work and looking glamorous, she felt that she had only been raising children these years. So she insisted on going out to work, met a middle-aged man from another place, saved over 200,000 yuan as dowry, and urgently wanted to marry a wife and have heirs. She lied about being divorced and got together with the man, deceiving him into giving her all this "gift money".

In short, she kept using having children to swindle money. She conned hundreds of thousands, but retribution came. She was diagnosed with late-stage cancer. Her husband didn't care about her life or death and even cursed her to die quickly so he could inherit her wealth. This woman didn't want to die and insisted on chemotherapy. She also asked people to find this swindler, Chen Laogtou, to perform a ritual to cure her.

Now not only are the city's schemes deep, but the countryside roads are slippery too!

So I dare not let my brother go snatch girls, for if he fails to catch the stalker alive and instead gets caught by the villagers, it would be a disaster!

The Lin siblings truly didn't care about money. It wasn't a pretense of indifference like some wealthy people might put on; they genuinely didn't place importance on material wealth.

Given their status and family standing, even if they did nothing, the country would still take good care of them.

They are the kind of people who truly don't need money.

So Ms. Lin is very efficient and quickly told us she was ready and had arranged three bodyguards to lie in wait.

My brother parked the car at the edge of the market and waited for the people following us to get closer so they could see us getting out.

A woman in a crimson dress and emerald green buttoned vest stood by the roadside, looking around. Beside her sat a man with bare arms wearing a long coat, selling mineral water.

I looked at my brother.
