Chapter 238: The Plan to Eliminate Singles Failed
Ma turned her head to look at Su He. Su He raised her eyebrows. She knocked on the door right after closing it. It seemed that she had been eavesdropping outside.
"Ah Liang, uncle, you two go into the house, and don't come out if you hear any noise."
Wang Jingui and Wang Liang left immediately. Su He saw them close the door tightly and then signaled Ma to open it.
There was a group of people standing outside the door, led by matchmaker Zhou, who still had a big red flower on her head. Behind her was a young girl and two older people. Judging from their faces, they were a family.
The young man stared at Su He with hostility, he must have been eavesdropping outside.
"Hey, Ma sister, you are home. I have been knocking for a long time. Didn't we agree to meet at this time? If your family is not sincere, there is no need to force it."
Matchmaker Zhou looked a little unhappy, as if she felt that Ma had neglected her.
"In that case, then you can go back. Our family can't afford the betrothal gift. We don't have this blessing!"
Seeing that they were trying to show their power from the beginning, Su He responded without any hesitation. Ma hesitated for a moment and stood behind Su He.
When Matchmaker Zhou saw Ma's expression, she knew that she also meant this. How could this work? Matchmaker Zhou rolled her eyes and suddenly smiled again.
"Hey, look at my big mouth. Don't be offended, girl. Sister Ma, don't take it seriously. I don't have any bad intentions."
"Hehe, I have brought this girl from Shunyi Village here. This is Yuehong. This is Yang Yuehong's mother, Li. This is Yuehong's elder sister, Yang Zhuhong. Hehe, sister Ma, where is your Wang Liang? Come out and meet him."
As the saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you, but unfortunately Su He doesn't buy it at all.
When Ma looked at Su He's expression, she knew that she couldn't ask Wang Zhi to come out, but she didn't know what to say.
"In our family, Lotus is the boss."
Ma only said this. Su He thought for a moment, then turned around and whispered a few words to Ma.
Ma actually left everyone and ran away. Matchmaker Zhou was dumbfounded. She had never seen anything like this before.
"Ma sister, where are you going?"
Yang Yuehong saw that things were not going well and quickly winked at her elder sister.
"Miss Lotus, what's the meaning of your family? We came all the way here and we didn't even get a sip of water. Where's Wang Liang? I've never seen such an rude family."
Su He snorted coldly, "What do you mean? Don't you understand? Our family doesn't like poor people like you! You haven't even seen each other yet, but you want this and that. Gold bracelets and hairpins aside, who gave you the face to ask for gold bars? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself to see if you are worthy!"
Now Yang Yuehong's mother couldn't sit still anymore and said that it was her idea to only accept 20 taels as betrothal gift, and Su He meant that they were not worthy of each other.
"What are you talking about, little girl? How can you marry a wife without money? We are from Shunyi Village. We are only asking for this little money because of matchmaker Zhou's face. For an outsider like you, marrying our Yuehong is really beyond your reach! You are shameless!"
Li rushed forward and pointed at Su He and cursed him, her finger almost poking Su He's face.
From a distance, Yang Yuehong secretly glanced at Su He's reaction, while Yang Zhuhong crossed her arms and watched the show. When it came to quarreling, her mother was afraid of no one.
Su He sneered and didn't waste time talking to these people. He shook off Li's hand and went to get the broom. Matchmaker Zhou had a bad feeling and subconsciously dodged.
Su He picked up a meter-high broom and swung it at Li. Li was caught just as she stood firm. "Ah, help me, you little bitch, ah!"
Li fled in a hurry. When she reached the door, she turned around and wanted to say something harsh, but when she saw Su He coming towards her with a broom, she ran away immediately.
Sisters Yang Zhuhong also ran away. Only Matchmaker Zhou pretended to be calm and forced a smile on her face. "Miss Hehua, this Li's words are not nice, but it has nothing to do with me. I will definitely take your family Wang Liang's important affairs to heart. I will definitely find a better one next time."
Su He sneered and put down the broom. "I dare not trouble Matchmaker Zhou. My family cannot afford so much betrothal gifts. You are so ugly that you are not even worthy of 30 taels. There is no need to trouble Matchmaker Zhou for the two weddings in our family next month. I have something else to do, so I won't send you off!"
Matchmaker Zhou felt totally humiliated here. Looking at the angry Su He, she could only consider herself unlucky and leave.
"Lotus, are they all gone?"
Wang Jingui and Wang Liang both came out. Su He was no longer angry in front of the matchmaker. She just sighed and spoke to the two of them.
"It won't be so easy for us to meet people in the future. These people are treating us like fat pigs. Uncle, take it easy this year. I'll go talk to grandma."
Su He put down the broom and left, and Wang Liang followed Su He.
"Sister Hehua, I actually feel that I am still young, and I can wait another three years. It's just that my mother is not motivated and rushed to please the matchmaker, giving him the opportunity to control us."
Wang Liang was really upset. He used to worry about not having enough food to eat every day. Now that he was rich and could eat meat every day, he still had so many worries.
Su He didn't expect that her cousin had such insight, so she didn't mention the dating again.
"Have you learned horse riding from Xiaobai recently?"
"Yes, I can ride it and walk a few steps. I learned it better than my cousin Zhi. I also know all the grappling techniques that Brother Bai taught me."
Wang Liang felt somewhat proud when he talked about this; he felt that he was more suitable to be a constable.
"Then you should study hard, and you will have plenty of opportunities to succeed in the future."
Wang Zhi nodded happily, his father said the same thing.
The two of them went to their uncle's house together. Sun and Wang Daming both lived in the front yard. It was time for lunch, so Su He and the other two simply joined them.
They always chatted while eating. At this moment, Su He took a bite of steamed bun and told Sun about the person Wang Liang was looking for.
"This girl didn't say anything, but I think she's the most difficult to get along with. Grandma, let's not let our tribe members visit the people living nearby this year. Let's just plant sweet potatoes first."
Sun never expected that her plan to eliminate singles would fail like this. The two successful couples had nothing to do with her, the initiator.
"Forget it, if we don't want to meet, then we don't have to. Binzi doesn't have the mood right now, Yanzhi is even more stubborn, Zhier still has to take the exam to be a constable, Lianger is still young, so we can wait a year."
Sun was comforting herself and Su He was laughing secretly. It seemed that her grandma had ignored her.
"Boss, let's go to Dacheng's place to spend a few days next month. I heard that my cousin gave birth to two girls, and we haven't even seen them yet."
Ever since a teacher appeared in the village, the children in the family have something to do, and Sun's place has become quiet. She thought it would be nice to go out and visit some friends.
"Okay, let's let the boss accompany us. We'll stay at his place for two days, and then we'll bring Dacheng to our house to play for a few days. The people in Qingshan Village just don't get along with each other."
Wang Daming also felt that these aborigines were secretly rejecting them. This feeling became even more obvious after Wang Jingui became the village chief. Except for Jin the butcher and Li the carpenter who lived close to them, they had little contact with these aborigines.
"Aunt, let's take care of the Dali family's wedding next month."
Zhou picked up a piece of braised pork for Wang Fugui and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let's live our own lives. They are xenophobic now, but it will be fine in a few years. We are rich and capable, and we don't lack people. We don't need to care about them. I don't think your uncle Jingui is very meaningful as the village chief."
Sun was very much in favor, "Why not use this position of village chief to let Zhi'er Liang'er become a constable? In my opinion, our Binzi can also do it."
"Grandma, I can't be a farmer at my age. I just want to farm. Xiaobai is the most suitable."
Wang Bin thought it was good to be a peasant as he was used to the leisurely and comfortable life.
Sun rolled her eyes at her grandson and said, "You are just farming. We have hired tenants. Why would we need you? I think it would be best for you to get married as soon as possible and give me a great-grandson."
Wang Bin didn't dare to raise his head to eat, and Su He pretended to be busy. Just as he was about to tell Zhou about Tietou, he saw Zhou covering her mouth and retching.
