But her mother told her not to think about it.

It is said that Brother Xiao Yan is a scholar. Even if he fails to pass the imperial examination, he can still find a good job in town and earn a lot of money. There is no good girl that he cannot marry, right?

In short, no matter what, it will never be her turn.

But now, Xiao Yan's brother's family has sent someone to Jiang Ningning's house to propose marriage!!!

How could she bear this!

Seeing Jiang Chuchu's crazy look, Shen Chunhua was a little afraid that Jiang Chuchu would do something to implicate her, so she quickly pulled Jiang Chuchu away.

Although Zhu didn't leave, her back teeth were almost bitten to pieces.

It turned out to be Xiao Yan! Such a nice family!

She naturally knew why her little daughter suddenly became so crazy.

She wanted to marry her youngest daughter to Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan's family was not what kind of family, and there was no way her daughter could marry into it, so not only did she not have any hope, she also told her daughter not to even think about it.

In the end, the Xiao Yan family fell in love with that damn girl Jiang Ningning!!!

Isn't this just stepping on the face of their eldest wife?

Even her eldest daughter didn’t marry so well!

Zhu couldn't bear it any longer and started cursing: "Are Xiao Fushan and Tian blind? They actually want to marry their son to such a——" bastard.

But before she could finish her curse, she suddenly bit her tongue and screamed "Ah" in pain.

She wanted to continue cursing, but her tongue hurt so much that she shivered and felt like she had bitten it off. Blood was even flowing out of her mouth.

How could she utter a single word? Not even a single word!

Shen Chunhua dragged Jiang Chuchu out of the crowd, and Jiang Chuchu ran away crying. Shen Chunhua had no choice but to turn back, only to see her mother-in-law bite her tongue because she spoke too quickly.

"Ah, Mom, are you okay? Mom? Why are you talking so hastily? Look at what you've done to yourself." Shen Chunhua was anxious and angry. This would definitely cost money to treat!

Who in the village didn't know that the Zhu family had always been jealous of the Jiang family's second branch? Naturally, many people said, "It really served him right. He was so angry that he cursed and bit his tongue."

Zhu was speechless. She didn't know why she bit her tongue.

I must have spoken too hastily.

She couldn't care about anything at this moment, it was really painful.

In the room, Jiang Ningning acted as if she had done nothing.

But she took out a cake from her space and ate it. Yesterday her husband gave her two and one more.

The wild vegetable pancakes in the morning had too many vegetables added to them, and they really didn't taste good at all, so she didn't eat much in the morning. The pancakes without any vegetables added to them were still more delicious, with the aroma of flour.

When Matchmaker Zheng saw the blood, she angrily yelled, "Ms. Zhu, are you trying to bring bad luck to me? I'm here to propose marriage, and you're bleeding!"

But seeing that Zhu was biting so hard that blood was constantly flowing, Matchmaker Zheng couldn't bear it any longer: "What are you still standing there for? Go see a doctor!"

After a pause, he couldn't help but say, "The Toyama couple is happy about it. They said that Ning girl is filial and sensible. They are attracted by Ning girl's character and don't care about Ning girl's face at all. They also asked their son Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan was also happy. That's why they asked me to come. I really don't know why you mother and daughter are so excited. What does it have to do with you!"

When Zhu heard that Xiao Fushan and his entire family were willing to do so, she became even more furious.

But the next moment, all his attention was taken away by the pain in his tongue.

She was also afraid that there was something wrong with her tongue, so she had to be supported by her eldest daughter-in-law and hurried to the next village to see Doctor Lin.

The onlookers began to whisper even more.

Xiao Fushan and his whole family are happy with it?

Even though Ning was filial and sensible, they still couldn't understand her just based on that. It's not like he didn't have the money to marry a better girl...

In any case, they would not be happy to let them or their sons marry a girl with horrific burns all over her face.

Fortunately, it wasn’t their family getting married, so they just watched it for fun.

There were some people who couldn't stand seeing the second branch of the Jiang family doing well, and couldn't help but mutter some sour words.

The second branch of the Jiang family had such bad luck that not only was their daughter disfigured, but she had also been rejected by three engagements. Yet, she managed to marry into a family that was better than the previous three ones!

These people didn't speak loudly, and Sun, Jiang Shengcai, and Zheng the matchmaker had already sat down in the main hall. In short, Sun and the others didn't hear anything.

Zhu bit her tongue so badly, but Sun and Jiang Shengcai didn't take it seriously. They were just worried, as if they were dreaming.

Xiao Yan’s conditions are too good.

They were originally worried that even if their daughter was engaged, the engagement would still be broken off in the end.

Now they don't have to worry about this. After all, if the other party didn't really like their daughter and didn't care about her appearance, with such good conditions, he wouldn't have asked a matchmaker to come to their house to propose.

But the conditions are really too good.

If Xiao Yan really passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, or became an official in the future, but his wife was a plain girl from a peasant family, would he really not mind at all after a long time?

So what will their daughter face then?

They would rather the person who came today was an ordinary person who didn't mind their daughter's face at all.

That way they don't have to think so much.

It's not that they don't trust the character of Xiao Fushan and his family. They know that the Xiao family is a good family, but since it concerns their daughter's life, they can't help but think more about their daughter. It's better to be safe than sorry.

Besides, no one else can think about these things for their daughter except them.

Naturally, they have to be extremely cautious.

Matchmaker Zheng took a sip of water before saying that in addition to the betrothal gifts that a farmer would basically pay, Xiao Yan's family would also add another five taels of silver.

"Ah..." Sun and Jiang Shengcai were even more stunned. They didn't expect that the betrothal gift would be so high.

Logically speaking, a girl like their daughter can usually get 20% of the basic betrothal gifts from a farmer's family, and the man can be considered to have done his best for the girl's family.

But not only did he pay the full amount, he also gave an extra five taels of silver.

You know, even if there are people in the surrounding villages who give extra money, it's only a few hundred coins at most. Even one or two taels of silver is less, not even two taels of silver, let alone five taels of silver now...

Matchmaker Zheng: "I didn't expect his family to give so much. I was shocked at the time. I even asked specifically, and the Toyama couple said that this money was actually intended for Xiao Yan to continue his studies next year. But their son's marriage is a big deal and can't be done casually. Anyway, if you agree, take this money and propose when the time comes."

The betrothal gift is large, but ultimately the happiness of my daughter is the most important.

They feel really uneasy because other people's conditions are too good.

Therefore, Sun and Jiang Shengcai did not agree immediately, but expressed their concerns truthfully.

In fact, it means politely declining this marriage proposal.

They want their daughter to get married, but they want her to marry someone who can make them feel at ease and reassured, rather than someone who will make them feel uneasy all the time.

Naturally, they cannot feel at ease.

Matchmaker Zheng slapped her thigh and said, "What a coincidence! Mr. and Mrs. Toyama knew you had such concerns. Let me tell you, they want to talk to you in person. When do you think I should bring them over?"
