In Lu Jingzhe's gloomy eyes, Guo Yumei continued to speak with great guilt:

"Xiao Ning has been timid since she was a child. How could she dare to climb into your bed on her own initiative? I gave her this idea because I knew she had liked you since she was a child. If you want to hate someone, then hate your aunt." After saying this, she looked at Lu Jingzhe and her voice became more and more urgent:

"It doesn't matter if you don't recognize me, but please don't blame Xiao Ning for this matter and get into a fight with her."

Hearing this, Xia Qingning was moved again, and felt even more ashamed for having just misunderstood Guo Yumei.

She didn't come to ask her son-in-law for money. She was risking her reputation and took all the blame on herself, just to change her daughter's image in her son-in-law's mind.

I guess she didn’t sleep well last night because she heard her daughter say that she hadn’t had sex with Lu Jingzhe yet, so she got up early in the morning and came to look for her son-in-law.

It was really awkward for her to say these words to her son-in-law, but for the sake of her daughter she could sacrifice her face and even her dignity. She just hoped that he could transfer his dissatisfaction and blame to herself and stop making things difficult for her daughter.

Lu Jingzhe stood silently and listened to these words. He didn't say anything and his expression remained calm. As smart as he was, how could he not know that Guo Yumei was lying? He just didn't want to expose her.

After a long while, he uttered a sentence in a calm voice:

"okay, I get it."

Xia Qingning came back to her senses from the shock, walked forward quickly, stood in front of Guo Yumei, looked at Lu Jingzhe, and said seriously:

"No, she didn't teach me..."

Before she could finish, Guo Yumei pulled her back. Just as she was about to speak, she heard someone outside calling her name and seemed to be shouting something.

"I know." Lu Jingzhe looked at Xia Qingning and said in a deep voice, "I have to go out to do something now. If you have anything, let's talk when I come back."

After saying that, he didn't stop and went towards the direction of the village chief's house.

"Child, I told him everything, why did you come out?" After Lu Jingzhe walked away, Guo Yumei looked at her daughter helplessly and said:

"It doesn't matter if he hates me. As long as you two can live a good life, I'm fine with anything."

Xia Qingning naturally knew her good intentions, but how could she bear this dirty pot? She took her arm and comforted her:

"Don't worry about this matter. I know what's going on. Don't worry, we will live a good life."

As the mother and daughter were talking, they had just walked into the front room when they suddenly heard unbearable shouting and cursing coming from the yard:

"Guo Yumei, you old whore, get out here! Your son is lame, and you still dare to complain about my daughter's ugliness. You are so shameless! No matter how ugly my daughter is, she is a hundred times better than your lame son who can't even walk steadily.

You said you wanted to get married before, but now we ask you to give us some milk money, but you are reluctant to give it. Are you kidding us? Bah! I think your lame son doesn't need to find a wife anymore, just let him have piglets with the sows in the pigpen..."

Guo Yumei and Xia Qingning, who were in the house, all looked unhappy when they heard the insults. They hurried to the yard and saw a short and fat woman with a ferocious look on her face standing at the gate of the yard with her hands on her hips and cursing.

Behind the woman stood a girl in her twenties. The girl was less than 1.5 meters tall, had pockmarks all over her face, and had the exact same figure as the woman.

At this moment, she followed the woman in front and shouted loudly:

"Xia Qingshu, you dead cripple, get out here and explain clearly who is ugly and who is not worthy of you. Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? I am so lucky that I can marry you."

When Xia Qingning's eyes fell on the girl, her expression froze for a moment. She couldn't believe that this woman was the one introduced to her brother by someone else.

Didn't my brother have a beautiful childhood sweetheart? What's going on now?

"Shut up! I never said your daughter is ugly. I just said that the money your family asks for is too high and we can't afford it." Guo Yumei walked quickly to the two of them and shouted angrily.

She has always been kind to others over the years, and even if she suffered any injustice, she would just endure it and let it go. But now these two people actually came to her house to scold her son, and they specifically picked on his sore spots.

She felt that she owed her son, so she couldn't bear to hear someone insult him with such vicious words. She felt distressed and angry.

"If you can't take it out, why are you going to marry a wife? Besides, the money we ask for is not that high. Don't you see what kind of person your son is? He can't even take out 500 yuan. His family has no money and he's a cripple. If you marry a wife, she will just live off your family."

The woman said sarcastically. Her face was full of flesh, her cheeks were puffed up, and saliva flew everywhere when she spoke. She pulled the matchmaker aside and continued to yell in a shrill voice:

"Matchmaker Wang, tell me, this old whore Guo Yumei, she has the nerve to ask for such a high milk money even though our daughter is short and ugly."

The matchmaker just told Guo Yumei that the other family needed 500 yuan in milk money, and asked her to ask her son-in-law for it if she didn't have it. But unexpectedly, the stubborn Guo Yumei not only refused to ask, but also said that her family would not let her son-in-law help. She thought she was stupid and ungrateful, so she said:

"Your family is so noble, how come a girl marries the eldest son one moment and the second son the next?" But the old fool turned hostile and drove him out directly.

She was so angry that she exaggerated and told the girl's family who were waiting outside the door that Guo Yumei disliked their daughter's ugliness. After hearing this, the mother and daughter came to the door and cursed.

"She did say that. She also said your daughter's face was full of pockmarks and glittering gold, but it was not even as high as three piles of cow dung. Oh, that was really rude."

The matchmaker knew that she couldn't admit that Guo Yumei didn't say those words at this time. It was better to offend her than to offend the two powerful mother and daughter in front of her. Besides, Guo Yumei didn't give her face just now, so she could teach her a lesson.

"You!" Guo Yumei, who was wrongly accused, was so angry that she couldn't speak for a moment, and her chest kept gasping for breath.

The short fat woman at the side not only did not get angry when she heard this, but she suddenly started to giggle. In the puzzled eyes of everyone, she said loudly with a look of contempt:

"I admit that my daughter is not as good as Lin Xiaoyu. What's the matter? Your lame son has become a waste now, but you are still thinking about him? He has already found a better partner and doesn't want him anymore.

You should persuade him to wake up and stop dreaming. In my opinion, he should just marry a cripple. The two of them can still make three legs."

The commotion here has attracted a large crowd of onlookers, and when everyone heard what was said, they all started laughing unconsciously.

Niu Xianhua, who was standing at the front, was smiling the most happily. She looked at Guo Yumei and reminded her in a kind manner:

"Yumei, seeing how Qingshu looks like, it's better not to find him. Marrying him would only be a burden to the girl."

Xia Qingshu had just come here because of his bad legs. As soon as he arrived, he heard the woman saying those words. He just stood there motionless, his shoulders tilted because of a broken leg, humiliation and anger filled his heart, but he could only grit his teeth and not refute a single word.

When Guo Yumei saw her son coming over, she was afraid that he would feel bad after hearing these words, so she quickly said to Xia Qingning who was standing beside her:

"Xiao Ning, it's too noisy here, take your brother back to the house."

The matchmaker at the side looked Xia Qingning up and down, her eyes rolled, and suddenly turned to look at the short and fat woman:

"Okay, okay, big sister, let's go, and don't embarrass me." He looked at Guo Yumei again, with a mocking tone:

"Their family is so poor, how can they afford so much money?"

She said this deliberately for Xia Qingning to hear. She knew that she had just returned from the city. Her husband bought so many things at once yesterday, so he must have money. After she provoked him like this, maybe this girl would really take out money for the sake of face?

As long as the Xia family pays the milk money, there is still a chance that the marriage will be successful. Once it is successful, won’t the matchmaker money that was agreed upon in the beginning still have to be given to me?

Now that she has broken off relations with the Xia family, she can of course no longer use conventional means and can only resort to such a risky method of throwing the jar into the air. Anyway, Guo Yumei wants her daughter-in-law very much, and this woman values ​​money. As long as she gives money, won't they hit it off?

Sure enough, the next second after she said those words, she heard the girl who came back from the city say:

"Who said we can't come up with the money?"
