When she mentioned the marriage to Xu's family, Xu Yong immediately agreed.

It seems that Xu Yong's love for his daughter is not as much as the legend says. Once greater interests are involved, he is willing to abandon his daughter.

Xu Yong is not like other farmers in Qinghewan. He used to be the village chief and often went to Pingchuan County. He knew all the wealthy families in Pingchuan County.

I never thought that my daughter would meet such a good marriage.

Fortunately, the conditions for Gu Ruinian to marry into the Lian family were not negotiated, otherwise he would have missed out on the opportunity to marry into the Lian family.

Matchmaker Wang naturally still said what the third son of the Lian family said, but Xu Xinghua seemed to have discovered the truth. When she thought about marrying a fool, she started to make a fuss on the spot, but was suppressed by Xu Yong.

Abandoning an older daughter and marrying into the Lian family, the prefect's family, Xu Yong would wake up with a smile in his sleep.

Her niece Xu Zaohua married into the Zheng family, and her two nephews became wealthy as a result. If she hadn't done something stupid, they would be living a good life now.

Now that my daughter has the opportunity to marry into a wealthy family, I would be a fool not to agree.

What about the son-in-law, what about Gu Ruinian, all of them, get out of here.

Jia couldn't accept this result. Not to mention the wealthy families, even if her own Ruinian hadn't been lame and his family wasn't poor, he wouldn't have been able to discuss marriage with Xu Xinghua. And how could the Lian family possibly fall in love with Xu Xinghua, a pockmarked girl? Don't wealthy families pay attention to appearance?

So he said, "Sister Wang, did you hear wrong? How could the Lian family like Xu Xinghua? What do they like about Xu Xinghua? When a wealthy family marries a daughter-in-law, appearance is always the first priority. Xu Xinghua is so ugly that it's unbearable to look at."

Matchmaker Wang turned her head and looked at Jia, her face speechless.

"I've been a matchmaker for so long, how could I have heard it wrong? Besides, the names Gu Xiaoxue and Xu Xinghua are very different. It must be the girl from the Xu family. The Lian family said they liked Xu Xinghua's simplicity and straightforwardness."

Naturally, matchmaker Wang would not reveal to Jia the actual situation of the conflict between wives and concubines in the wealthy family's inner chambers.

"Isn't this a happy event? Now that Xu Xinghua is marrying into the Lian family, your Ruinian won't have to marry into the family anymore." Matchmaker Wang raised her leg and was about to step through the door.

Jia's mind was in a mess.

That's not how things work. If Gu Xiaoxue married into the Lian family, relying on the Lian family's power, Gu Ruinian wouldn't have to marry into the family, but Xu Xinghua would have married into the Gu family.

Now that Xu Xinghua has married into the Lian family, her Gu family has gained nothing.

How can it be a happy event?

Gu Youtian stopped matchmaker Wang and said, "Isn't the Lian family bullying us? They first fell in love with my daughter Xiaoxue, and then turned around and fell in love with Xu Xinghua. Sister Wang, you are really something. Why don't you speak up for us in the Lian family? Isn't it embarrassing for the Lian family that Xu Xinghua, with her pockmarked face, is the third young mistress of the Lian family?"

When matchmaker Wang heard Gu Youtian say this, and he vaguely complained that she had no intention of contributing, she became angry and said unpleasant words.

"You said it so lightly. What do you mean I won't speak up for you? When two families marry, it must depend on the will of both parties. The Lian family values ​​Xu Xinghua, what can I do? As for why the Lian family likes a girl with pockmarks on her face, go ask the Lian family!"

"Speaking of which, Xu Xinghua is lucky. The crippled man who married into the family ran away, and she became the young mistress of the Lian family. What a blessing, wow..."

After saying this, Matchmaker Wang got up and left.

What kind of people are in this family? As a matchmaker, how can she interfere with which girl the Lian family chooses?

After Matchmaker Wang left, the Gu family's old house was left in a mess.

The news that the Lian family has set their sights on Xu Xinghua is really hard to digest.

This was a huge blow to Grandpa Gu and Gu Youtian. They were waiting for Gu Xiaoxue to unexpectedly marry into the Lian family and prevent Gu Ruinian from marrying into the Xu family, so as to catch the Xu family off guard.

Now the Xu family has caught them off guard.

What is this thing called?

"Xu Xinghua has a face full of pockmarks. How could the Lian family fall in love with her?" Jia tried to struggle.

"Don't be so depressed. I think it's a good thing that Xiaoxue can't marry into the Lian family. This girl has become more and more wild after learning from Taohua. I said a few words to her a few days ago and she killed my chicken. With her personality, she will have a backer in the Lian family and her wings will be stronger. I don't know how she will deal with an old woman like me." said Old Lady Gu.

She quickly figured it out: if Gu Xiaoxue married into a wealthy family and left in a flash, it wouldn't bring any benefits to the family.

She would not have any expectations for Gu Xiaoxue's marriage in the future.

......

Gu Honglian quietly walked out of the house and came to the weaving workshop.

Seeing Tong Huaqiong, Gu Taohua and Gu Xiaoxue eating watermelon, Gu Honglian swallowed her saliva and said, "Matchmaker Wang came to our house and said that the Lian family didn't like Xiaoxue, but liked Xu Xinghua. The Xu family has already agreed and said they will pay the betrothal gift in a few days."

"What's going on here? Are the people in the Lian family blind? They don't like the fair-faced Xiaoxue, but instead like the pockmarked Xu Xinghua."

Gu Honglian had a heart attack when she thought about Xu Xinghua getting a good marriage, and when she saw her showing off and secretly mocking her for being a villain.

It would be better for Gu Xiaoxue to marry into the Lian family, she could get some benefits.

Gu Taohua took a piece of watermelon and handed it to Gu Honglian and said, "Aunt, that's because Xu Xinghua and the Lian family are destined to be together."

Gu Xiaoxue was also shocked. She didn't expect that Tong Huaqiong's suggestion that she wouldn't have to marry the idiot from the Lian family would be solved in this way.

Tong Huaqiong took a bite of the watermelon, and the watermelon planted in the cotton field was so sweet that it touched her heart.

Aunt Tang was very treacherous. She arranged the marriage between the Second Master Lian and Xu Xinghua with just one move.

......

Xu family.

Xu Xinghua smashed everything in her room to pieces.

"Dad, Mom, think about it, how could the Third Young Master Lian be so good if he is so good? Matchmaker Wang must have lied, you can go and ask around, I don't want to be a widow like Zaohua as soon as I get married."

"If that happens my life will be ruined."

"Didn't we agree to let Gu Ruinian marry into the family? Not only will you have another son, but he can also help the kiln factory on the mountain make gunpowder. We are discussing marriage. If you agree to the Lian family, isn't this two betrothals for one woman? If this gets out, how will our family be ashamed?"

Xu Xinghua was so thirsty that she went crazy, started crying, and smashed things...

Xu Yong remained unmoved.

Xu Xinghua was desperate.

"Why can't he like you? He even told your family that he likes your simplicity and straightforwardness. People say that one should marry a virtuous wife. A rich man has seen so many charming and seductive girls that it's normal for him to want to find a simple girl from the country." said Xu Xinghua's mother, Tian.

Xu Yong and Tian knew what kind of person their daughter was.

She is simple, but she looks bad no matter how she dresses up. She is straightforward, but when she speaks, it's like there's a rice field stuffed in her mouth.

Not to mention the normal young men from wealthy families, even the small families were unwilling to marry Xu Xinghua, otherwise how could the girl be allowed to grow up to be an older woman? In the end, they had no other choice but to invite Gu Ruinian to marry them.

If she can be married to a suitable family, she will definitely be married off.

They had no idea what the young master of the Lian family looked like, and they didn't want to ask. It didn't matter to them what kind of person the young master of the Lian family was. What was important was the resources of the Lian family.

It's just that he died early due to illness like Xu Zaohua's man, or he has the same problems as rich young men who are fond of homosexuality.

None of this matters. If Xu Xinghua gets married, she will be a glorious young lady and can help the Xu family regain its glory.

Xu Yong and Tian tacitly agreed not to discuss what kind of person their future son-in-law would be.
