Chapter 71 -70: The Female Lead and the Male Lead

That man, without mentioning his looks or height, which are determined by one’s parents, the key issue is that he’s too filthy, stingy, and his way of thinking is unlike normal people. Yet an oddball like him often confidently flaunts his presence in front of her, deeming himself to be a perfect match for her in the matchmaker’s eyes. Does she really seem that inadequate?

Damn—him—and —his— grandmother!

Afu Chen cursed inwardly, feeling extremely uncomfortable. She sent Dabao to play with his little uncle and retreated to the east room to lie down.

Dabao, with tears in his eyes, followed her into the east room, “Mother, don’t be angry. Little uncle is right. This Wang Yingjun is a toad lusting after the flesh of a swan. We can just ignore him.”

Afu Chen brushed him off, “Mother is not angry, just tired. Be good and go play with your little uncle.”

Mrs. Wang came in, fearing that her daughter was upset.

Afu Chen reassured her, “Mother, I’m fine, just a bit tired, I’ll be alright after some rest.”

Mrs. Wang’s eyes reddened slightly as she brushed Afu’s cheek, saying, “My Afu is so handsome, you will surely find a good husband.”

Chen Afu replied, “Mmm, I think so too. Even if I can’t find one, it doesn’t matter. I have my son. I can spend my life with Dabao.”

After Mrs. Wang and Dabao left, Chen Afu got up and entered her room.

Jin Yanzi was still working hard, her small beak hitting the gold and sparking.

Afu Chen, leaning against the agarwood, shared her frustrations of the day. She was feeling incredibly suffocated and had no one to confide in, so she resorted to talking to Jin Yanzi. She didn’t expect the tiny creature to understand her or provide any comfort. She just wanted to vent her feelings.

Unexpectedly, Jin Yanzi stopped her work as soon as she heard this, looking at her with great interest. Her little green eyes widened, the gossip within them ablaze. She even covered her small beak with one wing, looking utterly incredulous.

When she finished, Jin Yanzi laughed uproariously as if she had heard a big joke, hopping around and getting higher with each leap. Her little beak was wide open, as though it were about to split in two.

Afu Chen was deeply hurt, and retorted with annoyance, “I’m almost dying of anger, and you’re still enjoying this.”

Once it finished laughing, Jin Yanzi looked sympathetically at Afu Chen and said, “Mommy Fu, I’ve served four masters before, all women. Their partners were all handsome, high-class men, whether they were dark princes or sentimental lords, even a carefree demi-god. I thought that after following you, you would find a domineering CEO in your next life, so I would have something to brag about to my next master. Never would I have expected that not only were you dumped, but you also lost your life. And now in this place, you’re being pursued by that kind of man. Tsk, tsk, you’re really in a pitiful state!” Having said that, it covered its little face with its wing and muttered, “Oh, with such a pathetic master like you, I’ve been disgraced.”

Its words were so heartrending that Afu Chen felt like vomiting blood.

Later, Jin Yanzi quickly removed her wing from her face, her small green eyes narrowed as she asked, “Could it be that you’re not the female lead?”

Afu Chen replied gloomily, “In my previous life and this life, I’ve always been a supporting character. Given my background, I don’t even dare to dream of princes or lords. Even the young masters from rich families are best avoided, lest I be dumped again. But no matter how unremarkable I am, I can’t possibly be matched with such a man, claiming that we are well-suited and complementary to each other. It’s absolutely infuriating!”

Jin Yanzi rolled her eyes disdainfully and said, “You don’t even dare to aim for a rich young master, you’re really lacking in ambition.” She then flapped her wing confidently, declaring loudly, “Remember, the master of Jin Yanzi must be a female lead, so don’t be such a loser.”

Afu Chen shook her head and said, “Whether I’m the female lead or a supporting actress, it’s nice to find an ordinary man. To be a pair of loving, ordinary couple, striving together to rise out of poverty and achieve a modest level of prosperity would not be bad.”

Jin Yanzi craned her neck to ask, “You mean you want to marry that black carpenter? He’s not good enough, his status is too low. If you chose him, it would be a disgrace to me.”

Afu Chen sighed, “Don’t look down on him. Even if it’s him, his family still doesn’t agree.” She sat down, supporting her chin with her hands and mumbled, “If I have to find a man in this lifetime, Wu Changsheng wouldn’t be bad. He’s hardworking, strong, and importantly, he’s clean… But his family’s condition is too good, they won’t allow him to marry into my family. Forget it, if all else fails, I won’t marry anyone in this life. It’s not like I’ll die without a man.”

Jin Yanzi’s small eyes widened, she raised one wing and declared solemnly, “I strongly oppose this. That black carpenter is not your match. You also can’t remain unmarried. If my female master can’t even find a man, it would be a disgrace to me.” Her tiny green eyes sparkled mischievously as she added, “But I’ve found a suitable male lead for you.”

Afu Chen anxiously asked, “Who?”

Jin Yanzi resumed her adorable tone, “The father of that pretty girl, of course. Although I’ve only met him once, I could tell that he has the potential and aura to be a male lead.”

Upon hearing this, Afu Chen was greatly disappointed. She murmured, “You’re joking with me! If he’s the lead, then I’m just an extra, not even worth a supporting actress. We’re two worlds apart. He’s a god in heavens, and I’m just grass on the ground, how could we possibly be together.” She glanced at Jin Yanzi, and added, “Comparing people is often disheartening. You mustn’t compare me to your past female masters. They were all capable, hence, they found male leads who were tall, handsome, and high-class. But I can’t. In my past life, I was an orphan. In this life, I am a peasant girl and once a foolish woman. If I have too high expectations, I may fall and die –– just like in my past life.”

Her voice became more and more despondent and sorrowful.

Jin Yanzi hopped onto Afu Chen’s shoulder, her wingtip touching Afu Chen’s cheek as if offering comfort. “You are too self-abasing. Don’t belittle yourself, you are very excellent. You’re beautiful, graceful, and you have knowledge that does not exist in this world. Most importantly, you have me – the super excellent and invincible Jin Yanzi. The black carpenter may seem good to you now, but once he enters your house, are you sure you two will be happy? Finding a husband doesn’t mean finding someone whose condition is much lower than yours will make you happy. You may lower your standard for him, but he may not be able to raise his standard for you.”

Afu Chen was awestruck. She picked up Yanzi from her shoulder and asked, “Jin Bao’er, you understand all this? You’re truly amazing!”

Jin Yanzi boasted, “Having experienced so much, I’ve come to understand these things just by listening. I could even become a relationship psychologist with ease. Not only do I understand this, I often heard my previous masters making love… hee–hee—hee—hee—” Her chirpy laughter was heard to the point that her small beak was wide open and she was shaking all over.

Thus this little creature, she changed topics way too quickly.

Afu Chen quickly put it down on the ground, chided, “Annoying, how could you eavesdrop such private things and even talk about it.”

Then, she hastily exited the room.
