On the day I came home, I heard my sister-in-law, Amanda Wilson, discussing my marriage with my mom.
According to what Amanda said, the person she introduced to me was tall, handsome, rich, and honest.
My mom was overjoyed by what she said and arranged for me to meet him that day.
The moment I saw him, I was dumbfounded.
I was still wondering why Amanda suddenly became so passionate. It turned out to be a lie.
The person I met for the blind date was estimated to be less than 165 cm tall and weigh about 100 kg. What's worse, he was wearing dirty clothes.
I did not despise his dirty clothes. But it was a blind date. Shouldn't he wear clean clothes?
I was shocked. At lunchtime, he treated me to a Taco Bell, and I had to pay for it myself.
My God. This was not even the most speechless part!
The most speechless thing was that, as soon as I sat down, he judged me from head to toe.
"I heard from Amanda that you are 24 years old. Did you go to college? I don't like going to school. The things written in the books were all nonsense. They even teach women to work outside. In my opinion, a good woman should stay at home, give birth to a healthy son for me, and draw my bath."
"To be honest, my mom was not satisfied with you at first. It was only after I persuaded her for a long time that she reluctantly agreed to our marriage. When you marry me, you better be kind and cook something delicious for my mom. Can you cook? My mom doesn't like spicy food, so don't put any peppers. And I don't like food that is too bland, so please pay attention."
Not that I gave two shits about a toad like him.
"Oh, by the way, I now earn more than 3,000 dollars a month. After we get married, you don't need to find a job anymore. I don't like women going out and showing their faces. It's embarrassing. I will give you 300 dollars every month. You can do whatever you want at home. You don't need to do anything. Just keep the house clean, cook, and do the laundry for me and my mom."
"And you shouldn't wear this dress anymore. Does it make sense to show off your breasts? If my mom sees it, she will definitely beat you. Fortunately, she's here."
"Um, how about eating first?"
"Oh, right! I don't like it when you interrupt me while I'm talking. I think it is very impolite. Haven't your parents taught you that?"
…
Come on, don't be so ridiculous.
Where was the Mr. Perfect?
With good manners, I politely spent this terrible blind date with him and expressed my disinterest at the end.
"Um...I feel like we're not very compatible, you know?"
He glanced at me with a look of incomprehension. "I am quite satisfied with you, but you aren't satisfied with me? If you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell me…"
I quickly interrupted his long speech and said, "I just don't like you. You talk too much, and it gives me a headache. I prefer the person who is mute."
"Psycho!" The man rolled his eyes and left.
Ah yes. I was a psycho.
I thought the matter had ended. A few days later, my mom congratulated me on getting married.
I was shocked and confused.
Getting married?
With whom?
I was stunned. "Mom, what are you talking about? I haven't even talked to him! How could I possibly marry him? There's no such thing."
My mom looked surprised. "What? Didn't you say you were satisfied with him? It was Amanda who told me that you were satisfied and asked me to prepare for your wedding."
"Holy shit! I never agreed to marry him, and I don't have any feelings for him. It's not true."
I watched my mom make a phone call to Amanda and explain the situation clearly before I felt relieved.
Oh my God, it was really outrageous.
