Xu Xinghua tried to leave home and go to Pingchuan County to inquire about the Lian family's situation.

Xu Yong asked his two sons to stop Xu Xinghua.

Xu Xinghua got so angry that she grabbed her little niece with one hand and poked her niece's face with a pair of scissors with the other hand, which scared her sister-in-law and slapped her in the face.

"The Lian family is a big pearl business, and they are the governor's in-laws. The third son of the Lian family is very promising and passed the imperial examination this year. The fact that you are favored by the Lian family is a great honor for the Xu family. Look around the village and see which girl has such a good marriage. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

"This marriage is great. The sister-in-law of the Lian family is already married. If you marry her, at least you won't have to endure her anger like I did."

"What else do you want?"

Xu Xinghua's sister-in-law smiled warmly and gently, but her words hurt Xu Xinghua's heart.

If we talk about the person in the entire Xu family who is most looking forward to Xu Xinghua getting married, it is Mrs. Xu.

Ever since she married into the Xu family, she had suffered so much from her sister-in-law.

What kind of aunt is this? She scratches her niece's face over a disagreement.

My God, she finally got married instead of looking for a husband.

"The Lian family will come to make a decision in a few days. You should try to persuade her well. If she doesn't listen, lock her up in the room and don't let her go out for the next few days." Xu Yong advised his eldest daughter-in-law.

He was afraid that his daughter-in-law Tian would be soft-hearted, so he asked his eldest daughter-in-law to look after Xu Xinghua.

The eldest daughter-in-law took on the task with a smile on her face and took away all the sharp objects and ropes in Xu Xinghua's house.

Then Xu Xinghua was locked in the room, leaving only a hole for passing food.

Xu Xinghua smashed things, kicked the door and wailed, but it was of no use.

She didn't understand how her parents, who had always loved her, could become so cold-blooded.

What was even more confusing to her was that this marriage was clearly intended for Gu Xiaoxue, so how did it end up with her?

Xu Xinghua hated Gu Xiaoxue.

Soon, the news spread throughout Qinghewan that Xu Xinghua would not discuss marriage with Gu Ruinian. The Lian family, a wealthy family in Pingchuan, took a fancy to Xu Xinghua and wanted to hire her as their young mistress.

This news was so explosive that it instantly topped the Qinghe Bay hot search list.

Now the gossip center of Qinghe Bay has shifted to the entrance of the weaving workshop, and everyone is sitting at the entrance of the weaving workshop discussing the matter loudly.

When Tong Huaqiong was checking the production situation in the weaving workshop, she could hear the discussions outside.

"No, what rich family would be so blind as to fall in love with Xu Xinghua? Is it because of poor eyesight?"

"I heard it was the Lian family from Pingchuan County, the father-in-law of our prefect Yao. Sigh, with the support of prefect Yao, the Xu family will probably start to shake up again. Will Xu Yong become the village chief again? Then the good days of our village will be over again."

"I heard from matchmaker Wang that the third son of the Lian family is three years younger than Xinghua and passed the imperial examination this year."

"You are the only one who believes this. Is there something wrong with this Third Young Master that he can't find a wife, so he comes to deceive the girls in our mountain village? Have you forgotten that Xu Zaohua originally married the young master who was about to die?"

"It's hard to say. I can't tell what a rich family's taste is. Maybe he's used to eating delicacies from land and sea, so he prefers wild vegetables from the countryside."

......

Jia, who was carrying a basket to the riverbank to wash clothes, happened to pass by the weaving workshop. She heard everyone talking about the marriage between Xu Xinghua and the Lian family and her face looked unhappy.

Everyone thought that she was upset because Gu Ruinian and Xu Xinghua's marriage fell through.

Actually not.

Jia was unwilling to accept that Gu Xiaoxue could not marry into the Lian family.

Xu Xinghua's mother, Tian, ​​came back from the town with her shopping. Ever since Xu Yong was removed from his post as village chief and brought to court for counterfeiting pesticides, she has been avoiding people in the village. Today, she deliberately walked through the crowd.

Anyway, no matter what the villagers speculate, her daughter is going to be the young lady of the Lian family.

Who said the Xu family fell? Now it’s rising again.

"Mother Xinghua, what did you buy in town?" An old lady who was gossiping saw Tian and stopped discussing Xu Xinghua's marriage and greeted Tian awkwardly.

Tian patted her bundle and said with a smile, "Make some jewelry for my daughter. She's getting married soon, so she needs some decent jewelry to look good."

Originally, everyone thought that Tian was unwilling to tell the villagers about Xu Xinghua's marriage.

Seeing that she rarely smiled at the villagers and was happy to reveal her daughter's marriage, the aunt asked, "It is said that Xinghua is going to Pingchuan to be a young lady. Is it true?"

Tian said, "Of course it's true. It's the Lian family, the pearl merchants in Pingchuan County, the in-laws of our Magistrate Yao. My husband's family will come to propose marriage tomorrow, and we will get married in half a month."

Tian noticed the disbelief in everyone's eyes and became angry. Didn't they just think that her daughter Xinghua was not worthy of marrying into the city?

"Why did the Lian family fall in love with Xinghua? Could it be that Xinghua saved the life of the young master of the Lian family?" The wife of the village chief Liu Tielian asked directly.

Everyone here wants to ask this question, but they are too embarrassed to ask.

Only the current village chief's wife is not afraid of Tian, ​​the former village chief's wife.

Tian looked up and said, "My daughter Xinghua is lucky. The wife of the Lian family came to our village once and fell in love with our daughter Xinghua. She praised Xinghua for her simplicity and straightforwardness and said that she was a perfect match for her temperament, so she sent a matchmaker to our house to propose marriage."

The wife of the Lian family comes to Qinghe Bay?

Everyone was searching carefully in their minds to think about when a noble lady came to the village. Apart from Magistrate Liu's mother and Mr. Huang's mother, whose other noble ladies were there?

No one could remember.

The village head's wife was eating melon seeds, and she felt that the lady was either blind or had a lot of bad intentions.

However, even if he was cheated, the one he cheated was Xu Xinghua and not other girls in the village, so he was not considered too blind.

Tong Huaqiong wanted to laugh for some reason after hearing what Tian said.

Aunt Tang was very efficient. She arranged the marriage between Xu Xinghua and the second son of the Lian family in no time.

However, Tong Huaqiong didn't believe that Xu Yong and Tian didn't doubt this good marriage. No one knew their daughter's situation better than them as her parents. The reason they pretended not to know the pitfalls of this marriage was just to sacrifice their daughter to marry into a wealthy family and gain more.

However, the Xu family’s hopes were dashed again.

With Aunt Tang's skills, the Xu family won't be able to gain any benefits from the Lian family, and they probably won't even be able to step into the Lian family's door.

Once Xu Xinghua married, the Lian family would not recognize this marriage at all.

The voices outside continued.

"Xinghua is indeed lucky. She has been recognized by her mother-in-law before she even got married."

"In my opinion, girls should not get married too early, because good matches are waiting to be found."

Everyone complimented Tian on the surface.

"The marriage between Xinghua and Ruinian is no longer valid?" asked the village chief's wife.

Tian said, "They are just discussing marriage, not getting engaged. Originally, we didn't want our daughter to marry into a poor family and suffer, so we wanted Xinghua to find a son-in-law. You have also seen that all the young men who are willing to marry into the family are unable to stand up. Now that my Xinghua can marry into a better family, the idea of ​​finding a son-in-law will naturally stop."

After saying this, he deliberately glanced at Jia who was carrying a laundry basket not far away.

Someone whispered, "That's not necessarily true. Gu Xiaocao's husband is the shopkeeper and married into the family."

Tian opened her mouth to retort, but Jia, who had been standing not far away, rushed over with a roar, pointed at Tian and cursed: "Shame on you! Your daughter is hanging on to my son while stealing my daughter's marriage."

The villagers sensed something fishy from Jia's words, that there was something hidden in this marriage.
