There was a lot of noise outside the yard, and Shen Ning was counting his spoils in the space.

I left in a hurry yesterday and didn't have time to take a closer look.

Now, a plate of glittering gold jewelry was lying in front of him. Shen Ning felt like his eyes were about to be blinded and he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

All ten fingers were covered with rings, and there were seven or eight gold bracelets on the wrists. "Oh my, my, they are so heavy."

It's a pity that no one shared this happiness, Shen Ning felt a little regretful.

Suddenly, I heard Coal Ball barking wildly. I hurriedly took off the ornaments and left the space...

……

The yard outside was full of people. Shen Ning was shocked when he pushed open the door.

Before she could say anything, a plump and cheerful middle-aged woman came forward and took Shen Ning's hand.

"Hey, this must be the educated youth Xiao Shen, you see, he is so handsome, like a fairy.

I'm not exaggerating, I've been a matchmaker for so many years, and I've never seen a prettier girl than her. I was stunned."

Everyone around laughed in good faith, "Of course, the educated youth Xiao Shen is not only beautiful, but also kind-hearted and a hero who stands up for justice..."

Shen Ning calmly pulled his hand back. Looking at the scene He Jianye had created, he couldn't help but feel frightened. "What are the villagers doing?"

The aunt who called herself the matchmaker blocked the gate and smiled at the crowd, "Oh, look, the educated youth Xiao Shen has blushed.

As expected, she is a grown-up girl and is very thin-skinned.

Of course, I am here to help with good things and introduce you to a good family.

In my opinion, you and the son of the village party secretary are a perfect match made in heaven.

Look, the village party secretary's family is very satisfied with you and asked me to visit them as soon as it was dawn.

Don't worry, I'm a well-known lucky man in the area. Every couple I've helped to match are happily married."

Shen Ning's face suddenly darkened. He pushed Mrs. Xi out and locked the gate with a "click".

"Hey, hey, hey, little girl, open the door."

Shen Ning's voice was cold and clear through the courtyard gate, but anyone could hear the annoyance in her tone.

"I don't like He Jianye. Whether you want to propose marriage or get married, it has nothing to do with me.

Please don’t make any noise outside my door, bad guys are left alone.”

The matchmaker's face was not looking good, and she shouted at Shen Ning through the gate, "Hey, little girl, why don't you know what's good for you?

Look at this young man, he is very handsome and works as deputy director of a county machinery factory at such a young age.

Your father is the village party secretary. You are pushing such a good family away. Are you crazy?"

Shen Ning sneered, "If you think it's good, you can just get married yourself. Why are you looking for trouble with me?"

Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter when they heard this.

But when she saw He Jianye's face as dark as the bottom of a pot and his vicious eyes, she immediately stopped smiling and took a few steps back, fearing that he would be jealous of her.

The matchmaker was humiliated one after another and felt a little embarrassed.

I felt so unlucky in my heart. What was going on? I thought these two were in love. How could the girl be so resistant and the boy even ask someone to propose marriage to her?

Isn't that just throwing your face to the ground for people to step on?

She felt bitter but couldn't say it out loud, because the man was not someone to be trifled with. For ordinary people like them, He Jianye's family were all officials, and they couldn't afford to offend them.

Besides, he was generous. For this trip, he would give a thank-you gift of three yuan. If the two of them succeeded, he would also give a big red envelope to himself, the matchmaker.

But Shen Ning's words were too impolite, and she was also angry, so her words became unpleasant.

"Hey, Xiao Shen, I know you urban educated youths have high standards, but the most important thing for a person is to be down-to-earth, don't you think?

Jianye is such a good kid, he has a good family background, he is capable, and he has good looks too.

Auntie, I really don’t know what else you are dissatisfied with?

Look at yourself, what else do you have besides your good looks?

I heard that you lost your mother when you were young, and your father died a few years ago. You are an orphan without a father or a mother, and you have no elders to teach you since you were young. It's really..."

Her words simply belittled the person to the dust. Shen Ning was so angry that he almost laughed in the yard. Did she fail to propose marriage and resorted to personal attack?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Shen Ning turned around and went to the kitchen to find a basin of water.

The matchmaker didn't hear anything from Shen Ning and became more and more arrogant. He Jianye acted as if he was giving alms and shouted into the courtyard.

"Shen Ning, please open the door and let's have a good chat. I will never despise you for being an orphan.

As long as you marry me, I will treat you well, and we can live a good life together, which is better than anything else."

Everyone thought that the matchmaker's words were unpleasant, but when they thought about it carefully, they felt that she was right.

Apart from a good-looking face, it seems that the educated youth Xiao Shen has no other advantages.

Besides, women’s blooming period is so short. No matter how beautiful a woman is, after you marry her, give birth to children, and do housework, she will turn into a yellow-faced woman in less than two years.

But He Jianye is different. A man in his prime at the age of 41, he has a good family background, a good career, and his father is the village party secretary. No matter how you look at it, Shen Ning is marrying up.

……

When Fang Heng and others arrived, He Jianye was still shouting outside the courtyard gate, "Shen Ning, I really like you.

Don't worry, I will give you the highest standard of betrothal gifts, how about 228 yuan, all three major items are included."

The crowd watching immediately started to make sarcastic remarks, "As expected, the village party secretary's family is just rich."

"That's right. Shen Ning is lucky to marry him."

"Of course not. Nowadays, the bride price is usually 68 or 88 yuan.

Even for a girl in the city, the betrothal gift is only about a hundred yuan. Shen Ning is quite wealthy, and she actually has a betrothal gift of 228 yuan."

"That's right. Besides, there are three big pieces and thirty-six legs. We also need to hold a wedding banquet. It will cost a lot of money."

"Shen Ning is still holding Qiao, be careful not to get out of control and hit yourself on the hand..."

"..."

Several aunts were laughing and commenting on Shen Ning without any scruples, as if all the dirty things that had happened to He Jianye before had disappeared in an instant.

Everyone acted as He Jianye's lobbyist.

He Jianye was indeed very generous, and even the other people at the educated youth site gasped.

Cai Meijuan felt a little jealous. He Jianye was a very playboy. He had hooked up with two female educated youth who had gone to the countryside with her before.

But he just ignored her, which made her feel uncomfortable, as if she was inferior to others and not worthy of his eyes.

"Humph, she's just pretending, but she must be so happy in her heart. I don't see that she has two more eyes or an extra mouth than others. I think she is still good at seducing people. No one can compare to her, no one can compare to her."

Jiang Yuanyuan had been having a hard time these past two days and was in so much pain that she felt weak all over. When she heard the news, she bumped into Fang Heng and Li Zhiqiang on her way over.

As soon as he arrived, he saw that the door of Shen Ning's courtyard was blocked tightly. He heard people praising He Jianye and urging Shen Ning to stop being so arrogant and to agree quickly.

He was so angry that his face turned blue. "A toad wants to eat swan meat. Is he worthy of it?"

After Jiang Yuanyuan finished speaking, she rolled up her sleeves and looked like she was going to fight. Fang Heng also moved forward.

But Li Zhiqiang stopped him and said, "What are you doing? Shen Ning didn't say anything, why are you the first to come forward?

Besides, He Jianye's conditions are really good, maybe Shen Ning is also hesitating, what if you ruin her good fortune?"

Fang Heng stood there in a daze, and realized that this was indeed a possibility.

It was like a bucket of cold water poured over him, chilling him to the bone and stopping in his tracks...
