Back to the 1970s: Building My Fortune Through Time Trading

Chapter 167: Face Reading

Although Qin Shuang was displeased inside, she still managed to squeeze out a polite smile on her face: "Alright."

After they sat down, Liu Xuebing fixed his gaze on Qin Shuang, as if seriously evaluating her.

After a moment, he frowned slightly: "Comrade Qin, I feel your attire is somewhat too flashy. You’re just a sales clerk at a department store, dressing like a star isn’t quite appropriate."

After speaking, he continued, "Personally, I think women should be a bit more modest, which better aligns with our Hua Country’s fine tradition of thrift and virtue."

These words were quite rude, making Su Xiaoxiao want to flip the table right then and there.

Qin Shuang, well-mannered as she was, merely clenched her fists quietly and remained silent.

Seeing her reaction, Liu Xuebing nodded as if satisfied: "Before marriage, I don’t care, but if we get married later, I hope you can be more frugal in life. Additionally, upon marriage, I wish you to give me three sons. Considering my family’s condition, there’s no need for a woman to expose herself outside. Just stay home, take care of the children, and serve me and my parents. The department store job is unnecessary; it can be handed over to my sister."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao almost slapped him. What kind of bizarre person is this?

Is he looking for a wife or a free maid?

Why should women be confined to serving the whole family?

The Qing Dynasty ended so many years ago, how come there’s still this feudal junk?

Just as she was about to get angry, Qin Shuang grabbed her hand, silently shaking her head.

"Besides, I see you’re not young anymore. You’re an old maid now, and if you delay any longer, you might not meet someone with such good conditions as me. I want to get married soon."

At this point, Liu Xuebing critically eyed Qin Shuang up and down, saying: "I heard your family has only two daughters. Since they’re all daughters, my family can offer two hundred yuan for the betrothal gift, and we’ll forget about the ’three turns and one sound.’ After all, your family has no sons, so it wouldn’t be useful even if you asked."

"Oh, and after marriage, we should have children soon. Your mom can help us look after them."

Unable to hold back any longer, Su Xiaoxiao slammed her hand on the table with a "bang."

"Comrade Liu, right? May I ask how old you are this year?"

Liu Xuebing was a bit bewildered by the question, instinctively responding: "I am twenty-six this year."

"You’re already twenty-six and still don’t have a partner? Normal men at your age could have children who fetch soy sauce by now. How do you have the face to dislike someone else’s age?"

Liu Xuebing immediately retorted: "How can that be the same? I’m a man; of course, career takes precedence, first establish myself and then have a family."

Su Xiaoxiao sneered: "Alright, since that’s the case, may I ask what position you hold, Comrade Liu?"

"I..."

Liu Xuebing’s face turned red, muttering after a long pause, "Although I’m still a regular worker at the towel factory, once my dad steps down from being the factory director a few years later, that position will be mine."

Zhang Yulan couldn’t help but purse her lips: "Who knows about things years later? Working so many years and still just a regular worker, have you reflected on yourself properly? Is your work not diligent enough?"

Sister Zhang spoke well!

Su Xiaoxiao almost wanted to applaud Zhang Yulan.

It’s no wonder this poor guy wants Shuangshuang to live plainly, this is because he’s afraid he can’t earn enough money to support a wife and kids, right?

No wonder he keeps belittling Shuangshuang, this is pure PUA!

No way, she has to stand up for Shuangshuang and let off some steam.

Thinking of this, she cheerfully looked at Liu Xuebing: "Comrade Liu, I know a bit about physiognomy, would you like me to take a look?"

Why did it suddenly shift to face reading?

Liu Xuebing was already so angry his liver hurt, yet hearing this, he thought she was intentionally trying to curry favor with him, to ease the situation.

He immediately tilted his chin and said: "Sure, then I’ll trouble Comrade Su to take a look for me."

Facing Su Xiaoxiao’s cheerful gaze, Liu Xuebing’s heartbeat momentarily skipped a beat; was this woman targeting him all along perhaps to attract his attention?

Could she be interested in him? Intentionally sabotaging the blind date?

Otherwise, why would she mention looking at his face?

Thinking this, he eyed Su Xiaoxiao proudly, of course, with such good conditions, many women would rush to marry him.

After all, his dad was the director of the towel factory.

Just then, Su Xiaoxiao spoke.

"Comrade Liu, I see your cheekbones are prominent, you have triple sclera, dark circles under the eyes, and lifeless eyes, indicating long-term lack of exercise and kidney deficiency. In your condition, having even one child is difficult, let alone three. I suggest you adopt directly, that would be easier."

He had been waiting for Su Xiaoxiao to praise him, but unexpectedly she said this, making Liu Xuejun’s face turn dark immediately.

"You damned girl, what nonsense are you talking? How could I be weak?"

"Oh? Really? Can you honestly say you don’t often end up peeing on your hands?"

Su Xiaoxiao retorted directly; she’d had enough of this bizarre person for quite a while.

Nearby Zhang Yulan and Qin Shuang were holding back their laughter so hard they almost passed out.

"You’re a female comrade, how can you talk so crudely?"

Liu Xuebing was about to explode in anger; how could this woman talk like that?

What made him even more ashamed was that what this woman said happened to be true.

Little did he know, years later Su Xiaoxiao’s words would turn out to be prophetic, but that’s another story.

His expression momentarily mixed with blue and red, and he turned angrily to Qin Shuang: "Comrade Qin, I see you’re not sincere in coming to this matchmaking, let’s just call it off."

Saying this, he grabbed his coat angrily and prepared to leave.

Su Xiaoxiao cheerfully waved her hand at him from behind: "Comrade Liu, be careful when you step out; your forehead looks dark, you might encounter bloodshed today."

Liu Xuebing almost stumbled and fell; this damned girl dared to curse him?

He promptly stormed out the door onto the road, only to be knocked over by a bicycle as soon as he tried to steady himself.

Zhang Yulan and Qin Shuang witnessed this scene, staring at Su Xiaoxiao in shock, thinking she was talking nonsense, but unexpectedly it turned out to be true.

They both immediately looked at her with admiration: "Xiaoxiao, could you also help us read our faces?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "..."

She was indeed talking nonsense; who knew Liu Xuebing would be so unlucky?

After the meal, the three of them walked arm-in-arm to the department store, and as they approached the entrance, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly spotted a familiar figure.

Zhang Dongmei stood with a man who was barely taller than her, looking shy and demure, like she was dating.

Casually looking up, Zhang Dongmei saw her, intending to flaunt, she directly pulled the man over to the three of them.
