After crossing over, the demon king rolled in my arms and acted like a spoiled child
Chapter 43 Rejection of Marriage
Yan Niang is the elder, and once she opens her mouth, the tone of the matter is basically set.
Ma Yidong frowned and looked at her: "Have you thought about it? I'm not being too arrogant, but within a hundred miles, I'm afraid your daughter may not be able to find a better family than us--"
"Then we won't get married." Yan Niang interrupted.
Ma Yidong's face darkened.
Ma Qiao was anxious: "Aunt, it was my mother's fault for what happened before, please don't take it to heart!"
Yan Niang smiled at him and said, "You are an excellent young man. It is a blessing for Jiyue to fall in love with you, but Jiyue is still young and I want to keep her by my side for a few more years. You are still young now, so wait for a few years of experience. If you can still fall in love with each other in the future, then there is no reason for me to stop you."
After saying this, Ma Qiao was speechless.
The yard fell into an unprecedented silence, and an awkward atmosphere gradually filled the air.
Finally, Ma Yidong snorted and said to Ma Qiao: "See, you came here to propose marriage, but she is not willing. Forget it, there are better women out there. Let's go!"
After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and strode out.
Ma Qiao went to see Bai Jiyue, and saw that she had an indifferent expression and had no intention of keeping him. He stomped his feet in shame and annoyance, and ran to chase his father.
Bai Jiyue went to close the gate and looked back at Yan Niang: "Mother——"
Yan Niang held her hand and smiled gently: "Are you trying to ask me why I rejected the Ma family's marriage proposal?"
Bai Jiyue nodded.
"Because I think he is not worthy of you."
When these words were spoken, not only Bai Jiyue, but even Bai Jiyun and Bai Jiri who had just walked out were surprised.
Yan Niang raised her hand and gently stroked Bai Jiyue's face, her eyes full of love: "Our Jiyue is so beautiful, how can his Ma Qiao be worthy of her?"
Bai Jiyue wants to say that you probably have the mentality of "however a mother looks at her child is good."
Bai Jiyun agreed, "That's right, Sister is pretty, she can find a man who is more handsome than Ma Qiao!"
Bai Jiyue turned around and looked at Bai Jiyun: "How am I good-looking?"
"Sister was so pretty before she had freckles! Let's find a way to get rid of these freckles. She will definitely still look good!"
The original owner's appearance was considered good, but after being exiled to the Dark Stone Wasteland a year ago, she began to grow freckles. She was surprised that Ma Qiao would fall in love with her.
"That's right, and you are capable. Sooner or later your cultivation will surpass Ma Qiao's. He is not worthy of you!" Bai Jiri also said.
Bai Jiyue said that the flattery from her family made her feel very comfortable.
Yan Niang continued, "Mother also saw that you really don't like Ma Qiao, so she helped you reject him."
Bai Jiyue nodded: "Mother still understands me, thank you mother."
Yan Niang patted her head again and said, "You don't belong here. When we return to the capital in the future, there will be many good men waiting for you. We will slowly choose then."
The three siblings nodded in unison.
Bai Jiyue and Bai Jiri both wanted to leave the Dark Stone Wasteland in the future. Unexpectedly, Yan Niang also thought so. As long as the whole family is united, the goal will definitely be achieved!
On the second day, the news that the Ma family came to propose marriage again but was rejected spread throughout the village, causing an uproar.
Everyone was talking about how this useless Bai Jiyue had such bad luck that not only did she become better at fighting, but she also received two proposals from the Ma family. The most important thing was that she was so ignorant of the current situation that she refused!
People talked about it, but the way everyone looked at the Bai family was different now. No one dared to provoke or bully them easily, and the lives of the Bai family members became more comfortable.
That day, Bai Jiyue pushed Bai Jiri in his newly made wheelchair, and took Bai Jiyun, Xiao Heilang and Mingyuan to find Chu Jiang.
The beginner was forging iron in his smithy.
The stove was burning very brightly. He was shirtless. Although he was an old man, when he was hammering iron, the "clang clang clang" sound was very powerful.
When Chu Jiang saw the brother and sister coming, he immediately smiled, put the hammer on the edge of the stove, put on his coat and walked over to them.
"You two brothers haven't been here for some time!"
He said with a smile, picked up the kettle on the table, poured a glass of water for each of the three Bai brothers and sisters, then poured himself a glass and drank it with his head tilted back.
"I had some trivial matters at home and didn't take care of them." Bai Jiyue replied with a smile, "How have you been these days?"
"Thanks to you, I'm living a good life." Chu Jiang took out a purse from the drawer, poured out a string of copper coins, and looked at Bai Jiyue, "Look, I, the old man, have made a lot of money. Today, since you came, I will give you half of the dividends."
As they were talking, Mingyuan strolled over to the smelting furnace and stretched his head to look around.
Suddenly, the big iron hammer fell from the edge of the furnace and smashed towards the abyss!
Bai Jiyue happened to see this scene, screamed and rushed over.
She pulled Mingyuan with one hand, and with the other hand, she grasped the handle of the hammer with her agility.
Then she was knocked to the ground by the hammer!
Bai Jiyue's arm hurt from the fall and he felt a little surprised.
How heavy is this hammer? My strength has reached level seven, but I can’t lift it!
"Oh, are you okay?" Chu Jiang rushed over to help.
He helped Bai Jiyue up, picked up the hammer with one hand, and put it back next to the stove.
Bai Jiyue looked at his arm and opened his eyes wide in surprise.
I didn’t think anything of it when I saw him swinging the hammer before, but now that I’ve felt the weight of the hammer myself, I suddenly realized that his strength is actually very strong!
"Chushi, what weapon are you fighting with?" Bai Jiri also came over and asked curiously.
"Oh, I want to fight a sword."
"How is it? What stage has it reached?" Bai Jiri glanced at the sword blank in the furnace, it seemed that it had not yet taken shape.
The beginner shook his head: "The fire temperature is not high enough, it is never ideal."
He thought of something and said to Bai Jiri with a smile, "Why don't you help me pull the bellows and light the fire?"
Bai Yiri replied: "Okay, I can help you pull it even if I'm sitting down."
He and Chu Jiang started to forge iron, one pulling the bellows while the other did the work, while Bai Jiyue and Bai Jiyun watched from the side.
Pulling the bellows looks simple, but it is very strenuous. After a while, Bai Jiri was exhausted.
Chu Jiang frowned and said, "The firepower is not enough again."
Then he turned to look at Bai Jiyue and said, "Change him, come and do it too."
Seeing that his elder brother was indeed sweating profusely, Bai Jiyue pushed him aside and went over to continue pulling the bellows.
Just like that, Bai Jiyue and Bai Jiri took turns pulling the bellows. After about an hour of tossing and turning, Chu Jiang finally pulled a sword that was still glowing red out of the fire: "This is almost done."
Bai Jiyue and Bai Jiri were extremely tired, so they said a few more words and then said goodbye.
On the way back, Bai Jiyun was amazed and said, "That beginner craftsman looked like a skinny old man, but I didn't expect him to have such good physical strength. He held the iron hammer and hammered for an hour without stopping."
When she said that, Bai Jiyue suddenly thought of something and looked at Bai Jiri: "Brother, did you see that? He is really very strong. I couldn't even lift that hammer, but he picked it up with one hand without any effort."
Bai Yiri frowned and nodded: "Yes, he has problems."
