Actually, it just so happened that this squinty-eyed auntie witnessed the chaotic scene between the three of them.

She and Li Xiu didn't get along to begin with, and now that she had a chance to ridicule their family, she was bound to speak without thinking.

Before Ye Nuan could even speak, Li Xiu couldn't take it anymore and grabbed a broom, hitting her with it: "Are you out of your mind? What did my Nuan Nuan do to you? You're always talking about being indecent. I think you're the most indecent person ever!"

Li Xiu quickly beat the man out the gate, still not satisfied. He put his hands on his hips and said, "Get out! Don't let me see you again, you're such a spoilsport!"

Who would have thought that the squinty-eyed aunt wouldn't stop after being beaten. She turned around and came back, shouting at the top of her lungs, "Li Xiu, if you're so capable, don't resort to violence! Your daughter is innocent, so what's this all about?"

Her shout puzzled others, mainly because they wondered why there was yet another person offering a betrothal gift.

Ye Nuan finally seized the opportunity and walked directly up to Du Juan: "Aunt Du, what's going on? We don't even know her. Why is she coming over and saying she's offering a betrothal gift? Isn't she deliberately trying to ruin my reputation? Is she trying to force me to my death?"

Du Juan was also taken aback by Wu Zhaodi's words. Who would have thought that she would say something so explosive!

"Nuan Nuan, don't worry, Auntie didn't mean anything by it. It's just that I felt it was a pity that things didn't work out between you and Xiao Wu, so I wanted to come and ask about the situation to see if there was any chance to salvage things. This is Xiao Wu's older sister; she also came to try and persuade you. I don't know why she suddenly brought up the topic of betrothal!"

Du Juan was filled with regret!

If I had known Wu Zhaodi was so unreliable, I would never have brought her along!

What kind of mess is this?

You're offering betrothal gifts right off the bat? The girl hasn't even taken a liking to your brother yet, so what kind of betrothal is this?

Ye Nuan then pretended not to recognize him and looked over: "Comrade Wu, our Ye family cannot agree with what you just said. My blind date with Comrade Wu didn't work out, and Aunt Du just made that clear. Now you're bringing up the matter of betrothal, what are you up to?"

The neighbors who had been watching the commotion also came to their senses.

So it turns out that Ye Nuan didn't like that guy at all, and it was just that the guy's family felt uncomfortable and deliberately came to cause trouble?

Du Juan quickly tugged at Wu Zhaodi, saying, "Zhaodi, don't talk nonsense anymore. Xiao Ye has never been interested in Xiao Wu. This was already made clear a few days ago. Didn't I tell you that I was just here to sound out his intentions? Why did you suddenly bring up the betrothal?"

Wu Zhaodi was looking around at the Ye family's house at the moment, and when she heard what she said, she didn't care at all.

"Aunt Du, it was only a matter of time before this happened. We've already inquired about the girl's family; they're just an ordinary working-class family. We heard she has an older brother who's not married yet and is just a temporary worker, but we don't mind."

My brother is a military officer, and he has a lot of room for promotion! It's Ye Nuan's good fortune that he's taken a liking to her. If it weren't for my brother's interest, I wouldn't have come all this way. This girl looks so thin and frail; I'm afraid she won't be able to have children!"

That's so hateful!

Du Juan wished she could pretend she didn't know her.

You're asking for a beating if you go to someone's house and say something like that?

Li Xiu was furious.

"Get out! Who do you think you are? You come here and start spouting nonsense. Get out! Didn't you understand what my child and the matchmaker just said? We don't like that guy surnamed Wu. Don't try to cause trouble in our house. Get out!"

Du Juan was completely numb.

Tell me, Wu Zhaodi, are you sick?

Going to someone's house to gossip and criticize, complaining that her brother doesn't have a stable job or that she's too thin—does that make you look like you have a big face or a big butt?

"Xiu, don't be angry, don't be angry. This is also my fault. I didn't know Xiao Wu's sister had this kind of temper. Don't worry, I'll explain things clearly. As for Xiao Wu and our Nuan Nuan, it's completely off the table."

Li Xiu was panting heavily, her eyes glaring at Wu Zhaoxian, wishing she could poke a hole in him.

“I have to say, this auntie is really something. These two families are getting married, why are you fighting? What I said isn’t wrong! My brother is an officer, his monthly allowance is quite substantial. If she marries my brother, she can join him in the military in a few years. Who wouldn’t want such a good life?”

These words really appealed to the squinty-eyed aunt outside.

Moreover, she could tell that Ye Nuan really didn't like her brother, so why not give it a try herself?

"Hey, Comrade Wu, how old is your brother this year? Is he really that outstanding? My daughter is twenty this year, and she's very pretty! Why don't you come to my house for a while?"

Wu Zhaodi looked at her with disdain: "Who are you?"

"Oh, my surname is Huang, you can just call me Aunt Huang. My daughter is home right now, let's go over and have a chat?"

Wu Zhaodi's eyes lit up; it wasn't a bad idea!

She could also see that Ye Nuan's marriage to her younger brother was unlikely to happen, but the family was waiting for him to get married.

Since this guy surnamed Huang has stepped forward himself, isn't that a coincidence?

"Alright, come on, let me have a seat at your place."

Everyone's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. What an incredible plot twist!

Wasn't this a formal betrothal ceremony at the Ye family's residence?

In just a short while, we'll be going to the Huang family to see the girl.

Everyone probably realized by now that they had come here on purpose to cause trouble.

Du Juan breathed a sigh of relief after the person left: "Xiuer, I'm so sorry, I really didn't know she was this kind of person. Nuannuan, did I scare you just now? Don't worry, Aunt Du will go to the Wu family in a little while and explain things clearly."

Ye Nuan nodded obediently: "Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Du."

"What's so hard about it! It's my fault for not stopping her; Wu Zhaodi's mouth just keeps running too fast."

A farce will end here.

However, Ye Nuan knew that Wu Xingbang's eldest sister would definitely not let things rest.

In her previous life, Ye Nuan stayed in the Wu family for a full five years after she married into the family!

To put it bluntly, she was a maidservant for five years.

However, in my past life, Wu Zhaodi never came to my door.

Ye Nuan recalled the past and suddenly her eyes lit up. In her previous life, Wu Zhaodi and Bai Ge had a very good relationship. After she married into the family, Wu Zhaodi made a lot of sarcastic remarks. At that time, she probably said things like Bai Ge and Wu Xingbang had a good relationship.

Ye Nuan suddenly realized that Wu Zhaodi was probably unwilling for her to marry Wu Xingbang, so why was she making such a scene today?

Was she here to seek justice for Wu Xingbang because she knew he was unwilling, or was she actually here to deliberately sabotage her marriage with Wu Xingbang?

Come to think of it carefully, what legitimate sister-in-law would do such a thing?

Ye Nuan felt that she must have found out the truth.

Wu Zhaodi just pretended to look down on the Ye family, because she didn't want the two families to get married!

But if she remembered correctly, didn't Wu's mother give Wu Xingbang a strict order that he must arrange a marriage this time he came back?

So, where exactly did things go wrong?
