After the 250th Failed Blind Date

My great-great-great-great-great-grandmother furrowed her brows after hearing my recollection. "That should have worked, right? So how did you end up having to go on blind dates and even digging up my grave?"

Because the pesky Nathan shared a video in the family group chat that showed many young people using my trick!

After my scheme was exposed, my mom cursed for three days and arranged twenty blind dates over seven days for me, bringing the total to 250 with the ones from previous years.

My great-great-great-great-grandmother cursed in anger.

I earnestly asked in my mind, Great-great-great-great-great-grandmother, can you access the internet in the afterlife too?

Although I couldn't see her, I had a strong feeling she rolled her eyes. "What nonsense! Ours is a modernized afterlife. Apple's already released the iPhone 30 here. We're way ahead of you."

What?!

"We have all sorts of fun things to do here, just like you do. Would you like to come visit?"

I was so scared that I sat up straight, my mind racing.

Great-great-great-great-great-grandma, this can't be rushed. I am still young. This one-time-only trip has to be taken at the right time.

I'll take it slowly.

A chuckle sounded.

Suddenly, I realized a problem.

My great-great-great-great-great-grandmother said she and my great-great-great-great-great-grandfather were buried together in that tomb to ensure our family's prosperity.

But my ancestors were very poor, with three of them living in poverty.

...

It was only in my father's generation, with three brothers, that we managed to start a small business and improve our situation.

My great-great-great-great-great-grandmother laughed again. "Oh, finally figured it out, huh?"

I frantically asked in my mind for the reason.

"Because your great-great-great-great-great-grandfather wasn't buried with me. He fell in love with someone else before I died."

A shocking family secret was unearthed.

I immediately got up, grabbed some snacks, and small stools.

Meanwhile, outside the courtyard, more than ten people were already gathered.

My grandmother, mother, father, Nathan, and a bunch of others crowded in the corner, exchanging glances and signaling each other to stay quiet.

They were waiting for the show to begin.
