Did the leader want to break off the engagement after meeting her? Later, she was hooked and became

Old Man Jiang was cursing and swearing when he saw Old Woman Jiang rushing in from outside.

"Old man, something terrible has happened! All our money has been stolen!"

"What?" The Jiang family members stood up abruptly.

"Mom, how much money did you lose?"

Grandma Jiang choked up. How much money had she lost? Could she possibly tell everyone?

If Da Ming's wife found out, she would definitely make a huge scene.

A few days ago, her mother fell ill and asked her to borrow money, but she told her she had no money.

Grandma Jiang's face turned pale. "No, not much, just a dozen yuan!"

"A dozen or so yuan?" Jiang Nuanyan breathed a sigh of relief. "Grandma, a dozen or so yuan, did you forget where you put it?"

In those days, a dozen yuan was neither too much nor too little; it was roughly half a month's salary for Jiang Daming.

Grandma Jiang felt incredibly aggrieved.

Dai Meili glanced at Old Lady Jiang and rolled her eyes. It must be more than just a dozen yuan!

That old hag would rather have her money stolen than give it to her family in an emergency. She deserves it.

"Grandma, this shouldn't be the case. At this hour, even if there were a thief, we should have noticed him by now."

Jiang Nuanyan's words plunged the entire room into an eerie atmosphere.

"Yes, there's a ghost... It must be that hand from before!"

Grandma Jiang turned pale and screamed in panic.

"I knew it was a ghost! That ghost last time had such a big mouth..."

"Blood, a lot of blood."

"Hands, hands that can run..."

Grandma Jiang was terrified.

He was like a headless fly, pacing back and forth, babbling incoherently.

Old Man Jiang immediately said, "Daming, quickly tie up your mother. Eldest daughter-in-law, tomorrow catch two chickens and go to the local temple on the other side of the mountain to pray, so no one sees us."

Dai Meili's face turned pale. There might really be a ghost in the house. She thought about how Jiang Jiu pulled her head off that night.

She bit her tongue hard, realizing she was dreaming, dreaming!

"Dad, that Jiang Jiu is a menace. Should we kick her out?"

Old Man Jiang looked grim as he gazed at Old Woman Jiang struggling desperately. "The Fu family will be coming to take her away next week. They'll definitely have to give her a dowry then. It's too much of a loss to kick her out now!"

Jiang Nuanyan's eyes lit up. In her previous life, when she married Fu Jingshen, the Fu family initially gave a dowry of one thousand.

"Yes, what you said makes sense."

Dai Meili gritted her teeth, thinking that maybe she would feel better after praying to the local earth god.

Jiang Jiu had overheard everything they were saying. A smile played on her lips. Someone was coming to take her away next week?

It seems we need to hurry.

We can't take our time playing now.

As dawn broke, Dai Meili hurriedly headed towards the old site of the Earth God Temple, carrying two chickens and some offerings.

Aunt Hong from the village saw Dai Meili acting suspiciously as soon as she went out. What was she doing?

Aunt Hong thought for a moment and then followed.

Then I saw Dai Meili muttering something to herself.

"May the Earth God protect us and prevent the ghosts from coming again."

"If it comes, let the ghost go to my mother-in-law."

Aunt Hong was shocked. Had the Jiang family been haunted?

This must be because he did something wrong.

Aunt Hong kowtowed and bowed to Dai Meili.

It looks like the Jiang family is in serious trouble!

After Dai Meili finished praying, she felt completely relaxed.

When I got home, I saw Jiang Jiu sitting in the yard eating peanuts, tossing them into her mouth one by one.

Dai Meili looked heartbroken.

I was just about to curse.

Jiang Jiu suddenly called out, "Auntie..."

Dai Meili's hair stood on end.

"You, you eat it!"

It felt like I was riding on wheels of fire, so I ran as fast as I could.

I was afraid that if I hesitated any longer, she would rip her own head off.

Then he added, "Auntie, could you help me sew this?"

Unexpectedly, Dai Meili rushed back shortly after she went out.

Jiang Nuanyan's face darkened as she looked at Jiang Jiu, who was so beautiful she almost glowed in the courtyard.

She pulled Dai Meili aside.

"Mom, what if Zeyi takes a liking to her while she's here?"

Although she wasn't ugly, she was miles behind Jiang Jiu.

Dai Meili wasn't afraid of this, but she felt that Jiang Jiu was a bit strange. "Alright, I'll send her away later. Don't worry, she's a person with no family or power. As long as the Xiao family isn't stupid, they'll choose you."

"You should really dress up properly."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuanyan realized it made sense. She had told Xiao's mother last time that Jiang Jiu had already submitted a marriage application to someone else.

She happily began applying powder to herself, determined to make Xiao Zeyi fall in love with her.

Seeing Jiang Jiu sitting there, Dai Meili felt heartbroken and went to the kitchen to crack two eggs.

"Jiu Jiu, take this to the woodshed to eat. When people come over later, don't come out, okay?"

In the past, she would have hit her already, and given her a piece of her mind.

However, she is now a little afraid of ginger wine.

Jiang Jiu clicked her tongue. Wasn't she just afraid that he would steal Xiao Zeyi from her?

"Okay, got it."

Jiang Jiu obediently took the bowl back to the woodshed and then ate the egg clean.

On such a joyous day, I should definitely give them a nice surprise!

After a while, they saw four people walk in from outside.

Xiao's mother, who pretended to be wealthy, Xiao's eldest sister, who acted pretentious, and a matchmaker dressed in a flowery dress, followed by Xiao Zeyi.

Tsk, around 173cm tall, wearing glasses, but she thinks she looks pretty bad, skinny as a skeleton, not her type.

She liked the extremely handsome man she met that day.

Double doors, buzz cut, and most importantly, a good-looking face that I want to touch.

A man on a mission sneezed three times in a row.

Who would talk about him for no reason?

Dai Meili's smile was so wide it resembled a giant flower.

"Oh, Zeyi's mom, Zeyi's older sister, and Aunt Lu, you're here!"

The matchmaker's surname was Lu, so everyone called her Aunt Lu.

"Warm Smoke's Mom, where's your Warm Smoke?"

As she spoke, Dai Meili shouted into the house.

"Nuanyan, they're here. Quickly bring some sweet soup."

At this moment, Jiang Nuanyan came out of the house.

She looked at Xiao Zeyi and the others with a shy and timid expression.

"Auntie, eldest sister, you've arrived."

Xiao Zeyi was standing behind his mother when he was pulled and then replied.

"Hello."

Jiang Nuanyan's face turned even redder.

The mother and daughter from the Xiao family scoffed inwardly.

At this moment, the matchmaker received the signal and stepped forward, saying, "Warm Smoke's mother, originally, this marriage was between the Xiao family and your eldest daughter."

"However, your eldest daughter is not fortunate enough to have that. The Xiao family originally planned to find another one for this child, but the Xiao family values ​​morality, so the marriage will not continue, and your second daughter will be chosen instead."

"But we need to talk about the bride price."

Dai Meili frowned, but she didn't break off relations.

"We were originally promised a dowry of 500, but let's discuss it and see if we can just forget about it."

"what?"

Dai Meili stood up abruptly.

After a long pause, he finally managed to utter a sentence.

"Zeyi's mom, shouldn't we at least offer a small token of appreciation for this?"

Xiao Zhaodi raised her eyebrows. "There are plenty of people in this county who are willing to spend money to arrange a marriage between our Zeyi and me. If you're not willing, then forget it."

Dai Meili froze. Wasn't the Xiao family the future richest family?

Why do they seem so stingy that they even reuse toilet paper?
