After marrying the hunter, he became more and more abnormal

When Zhou recalled that incident, the smile on her face vanished instantly. She sighed and said, "It all started because of the matchmaking incident. But we can't entirely blame Alin and the others. They only have one son, Yu-ge'er, and they cherish him too much. They wouldn't do anything to harm Yu-ge'er."

Xia Mo looked at Liu Yu in surprise: "You went on a blind date? When?"

Will Yu-ge'er be with Xie Yu again in this life? I heard from Chuan-ge that the two were very loving and had a good relationship in their previous life.

Ling Chuan also raised an eyebrow slightly, clearly having the same thought as Xia Mo.

"Yes, I went to meet someone."

Liu Yu felt there was nothing wrong with talking about the matchmaking, and he had already become famous in the village because of it. Now that his good friend was back, he just wanted to get it off his chest.

“Ze-ge’er, you have no idea how disgusting that man is. He said he didn’t want to marry you, but that his family had a fortune teller look at me and said I had good luck with children, so he agreed to marry me. Bah! It’s not like I, Liu Yu, am unwanted or can’t get married. Do I need him to marry me? He’s just a pig with scallions stuck in its nose, pretending to be an elephant!”

Xia Mo was disgusted, his brows furrowed, and his tone was somewhat cold: "If he wants offspring so badly, why doesn't he just buy a sow, bring her home as a wife, and have at least a litter of piglets, so he can be a father to his heart's content?"

"Pfft!" Zhou Shi and Liu Yingying burst out laughing, and a clear smile also appeared in Ling Chuan's cold eyes. Only Xiao Anyu didn't quite understand what was being said. He blinked and listened attentively while eating sugarcane.

Liu Yingying: "Exactly! What kind of thing is this? It should be paired with a pig!"

"No, even a pig is too good for him! And that damned offspring is just one aspect; there's something even worse," Liu Yu said angrily.

Just thinking about that person's superior attitude and his matter-of-fact and condescending tone made Liu Yu angry, and she continued to complain to Xia Mo.

"He actually told me that after I marry him, I have to hand over all my wages because he spent money on his education and his parents raised him with difficulty. He told me to be filial to my in-laws and not to visit my parents' home too often! Filial piety my ass! Do I not have parents of my own? Do I think it's wrong to be a human being and have to become a slave to his family?!"

Liu Yu became angrier and angrier as she spoke, gritting her teeth. "He even said that he would never use the family's money to support my parents when they get old. He really put his head in his mouth. I was so angry that I immediately raised my fist and punched him hard in the face!"

Xia Mo was shocked. Where did this weirdo come from? "Good job! Were you hurt?"

Liu Yu smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

"It wasn't really an injury, just a scraped skin. My strategy was to catch him off guard, and I was planning to punch him and run, but I couldn't escape, and we ended up fighting, uh..."

"In the end, we were pulled apart by passersby. He probably felt ashamed and ran home. I didn't care about being ashamed. I went straight to the teahouse to complain to my parents. I told them what happened in front of his family and the matchmaker. My parents' faces turned dark. They retorted that we found a husband for our son, not a bunch of masters!"

Xia Mo looked at his small, delicate frame, and admired his audacity in fighting with a grown man.

"And then? Did they stop bothering you?" Xia Mo asked, thinking that the family was so calculating that they probably wouldn't give up on Yu Ge'er easily.

"How could there not be? Brother Ze, we underestimated the wickedness and ugliness of people's hearts. You have no idea, I almost went to jail. Fortunately, Manager Qin of Tianranju helped me."

Xia Mo's face darkened, and anger flashed in his eyes. "Who introduced you to this person? They're so unreliable. Do they have a grudge against your family?"

Disgust flashed in Liu Yu's eyes. "We have no grudge against her. It's her who has a grudge against my family. I used to think she was a snob, petty, and greedy. She looked down on my mother for giving birth to a boy like me. But I never expected her to be even more vicious and push me into a pit of fire."

Xia Mo couldn't recognize who it was, so he turned his head to Zhou Shi and Liu Yingying.

Liu Yingying answered for him: "It is Yu Ge'er's maternal aunt."

Zhou continued, "She and Alin sang about him to the skies, saying that his family was well-off, that he had a scholar as an elder brother, and that his eldest daughter-in-law was the youngest daughter of a scholar. She said that the younger brother she introduced to Yu-ge was only a student, but that his whole family was steeped in learning and that he would definitely be able to pass the imperial examinations in the future. She said that Yu-ge would be living a life of luxury if she married him."

Xia Mo was speechless. "That's it? Didn't you do any research before you went to see him?"

Liu Yu said aggrievedly, "How could I not inquire? I just didn't expect that family to be so good at pretending. To be honest, I don't really like my aunt, and I don't believe she would be so kind as to introduce me to such a good family. If it were really that good, why didn't she fight for it for her own daughter? I was quite resistant and never agreed."

Xia Mo frowned. "Then why did you go there later?"

Liu Yu said, "My aunt kept trying to persuade me, saying that I was not young anymore and that young men only liked boys and not girls. When she saw that I was unmoved, she went to my parents and came to their door every few days."

"My parents were hesitant, thinking that even if the relationship between the aunt and sister-in-law was not good, they would not harm their own nephew. So they went to ask around. When they found out that there was nothing wrong with it, they asked me to go and see. They said I could refuse if I didn't like it, and we would talk about it after I saw it. So I went."

As it turned out, that person, who acted all respectable in public, couldn't hold back his true nature during their brief contact. He thought Liu Yu was easy to manipulate and started making all sorts of outrageous demands.

Liu Yu was thoroughly disgusted on his first date. Not only did he get into a fight, but he also almost ended up in jail. He was really tormented and fell ill. His parents were terrified and felt extremely guilty. At the same time, he completely broke off relations with his aunt.

After hearing all this, Xia Mo and Ling Chuan looked at Liu Yu with great sympathy, as if the world had been turned upside down again and only Yu-ge'er was truly pitiful.

Liu Yu felt her scalp tingling as they stared at her with strange looks. She shifted her position and said, "Don't look at me like that. I'm fine. It's all in the past. Besides, the law that young men under twenty who are not married must be married off by the government has been abolished since the new emperor ascended the throne. My parents also said that they won't force me to go on dates anymore. If I meet someone I like, I'll marry him. If I don't want to marry, I can find a husband. I prefer the latter, but I'm still young now, so I'm not in a hurry."

After saying that, Liu Yu's face turned a little red. She glanced at Liu Yingying, who was laughing at her, and immediately changed the subject: "Alright, alright, let's not talk about me anymore. Ze-ge'er, wasn't Brother Gong going out with you? Why isn't he back yet?"

Zhou's eyes lit up and she said, "Yes, that kid isn't here. I have to travel a long way to find someone to fix the roof."

Xia Mo smiled, pretending not to notice Liu Yingying's subtle reaction, and said, "No, we parted ways with Brother Gong and went to different places later, but judging from the days, he should be back soon."
