Zhuang Ermei and Tian Xiang were elementary school classmates.
The two became friends after a fight, and their relationship was pretty good.
Previously, when Tian Xiang planned to meet Lu Feng, Zhuang Ermei heard about it and specifically sought her out, asking her to keep an eye on eligible bachelors on Red Fifth Street; she wasn't picky, as long as they liked her and had a job to support a family.
People from Red Fifth Street rarely married girls from outside; they mostly married among themselves.
Tian Xiang being able to go on a matchmaking date with someone from there was an opportunity for the single girls around, which is why both Tian Chuying and Zhuang Ermei sought her out to help them find a match.
Zhuang Ermei is two years older than Tian Xiang, almost twenty-one after the New Year.
For young women at this age, it's the right time for matchmaking and marriage.
