The Transmigrated Farm Girl's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 31 Matchmakers' Money Isn't Easy

The Wang family's wedding should have been a grand and lively affair. However, they were very dissatisfied with Cui Hehua and were planning to remarry as a stepping stone, so they didn't hold a large ceremony.

The relatives and villagers were all notified, and there were about four tables for the banquet. Because the number four was considered unlucky, an extra table was added. The banquet was not very grand, as the family was short of money. The money Wang Defa needed for the exam would only be available after the autumn harvest when the grain was sold.

We just put up a few red papers at home, as a token gesture.

If the Wang family was so poor, it goes without saying that Cui Hehua's family was even worse off. The grand bridal sedan chair she imagined was out of the question. Instead, there was an oxcart, with a large red flower hanging on the ox, exactly the same as the one on Wang Defa's back. The groom sitting on the oxcart showed no joy whatsoever.

He had refused, wanting to ride a tall horse, followed by a large sedan chair, with a band of musicians, to the Cui family to pick up the person in a lively and bustling manner.

This situation has made him lose face completely.

When Cui Hehua saw the wedding procession, she was filled with disbelief and disbelief. She was being treated the same as Fang Xiaoning? How could she accept this!

The Wang family didn't have money? She refused to believe it even if you beat her to death. This was a slap in the face to her, and it was also telling the whole village that the Wang family didn't value her, that they were forced to marry her, and that they didn't take her seriously.

Cui Hehua nearly ground her teeth to powder. She hated Wang Defa with a passion that seethed within her. He was utterly useless, good for nothing, good for nothing in bed and good for nothing out of bed.

"Hua'er, Wang family, what's going on..." The Cui family was also dumbfounded. What did the Wang family mean by coming to welcome the bride like this?

But they dared not make a scene, much less say they wouldn't marry her; their daughter was already someone else's, and they couldn't bring themselves to stand up for her.

"Mother!" She threw herself into her mother's arms and wept bitterly. She was truly wronged. She had finally married a good man, but there was no dowry, no wedding dress, no betrothal money, and now, not even a bridal sedan chair. Instead, an oxcart was sent. The other girls in the village were probably laughing their heads off right now. She, Cui Hehua, the village beauty of Zaoshu Village, had ended up like this.

"Lotus, you have no choice now, you have to marry him whether you like it or not. Defa is still waiting for you in the yard, get ready and get in the car with him."

Cui Hehua:......

Cui Hehua wiped away her tears, her eyes still red, and, clutching her small bundle, boarded the oxcart. The onlookers whispered again, "Poor Cui girl, no betrothal money, no dowry!"

"Yes, it's like a burden, what's the difference between that and being swept out of the house?"

"I used to think the Fang family girl was poor, but now I see, she's really not poor at all. She even brought two quilts with her!"

"What? She had more than two quilts. Fang Youcai said he also gave her one and a half taels of silver because the Song family was poor and they were afraid her daughter would go hungry, so they gave her the silver to take with her."

"Oh, Mother, here comes one and a half ounces. Fang Youcai is so generous."

"Absolutely. He seems unreliable most of the time, but he's really capable. And his daughter, Xiao Ning, we all know what the Song family is like. Ever since she married the Fang family girl, she's been rising in status. That girl is a lucky charm for her husband."

“Indeed, the Wang family had been engaged to her for several years and everything went smoothly. But after the engagement was broken off, look, they can’t even afford to rent a bridal sedan chair to marry her.”

"Lotus flower, to me it looks like a cursed flower. Anyone who touches it will have bad luck. Wang Defa, you're in for a world of trouble."

"If you look closely, you'll see she has a bitter expression. Her mouth always looks like she's crying on her wedding day. Look at her mouth, the corners of her mouth are all turned down."

"It seems so. I didn't even notice until you mentioned it. Fang's girl, although she looks dark-skinned, has a clean smile, and her eyebrows, eyes, and mouth are all curved. Just looking at her makes people feel comfortable."

"That's right, her face is blessed with wealth, she'll bring good fortune to her husband!"

"Could the Cui family girl have also brought some money?"

"Do you think that's possible? Don't we know what kind of family the Cui family is?"

"Too."

When Wang Defa saw his new bride dressed in patched clothes, without even a flower in her hair, and carrying a small bundle, his face immediately darkened. What difference was there between this and being sold off?

The Cui family is shameless! They at least received 50 coins, how could they not prepare anything at all?

Hearing the surrounding chatter and seeing Cui Hehua's red eyes, the faces of Wang's cousins ​​who were there to fetch the bride also darkened. It turned out that the person they had come to fetch was a jinx. They wondered if their arrival would affect their luck.

Looking at Wang Defa with sympathy, his cousin was having a tough time in the imperial examination. With such a jinxed person, could he really pass the exam?

I need to talk to my parents when I get home. They should stay away from this woman and avoid letting her bring them bad luck. Looking at her clothes, they screamed "shabby." I felt even more disgusted. My cousin must be blind to have fallen for such a thing.

Oh, right, and she's also shameless. Why did she marry into this family? Because she was caught having an affair. She felt even more regretful; she shouldn't have agreed to come and fetch her.

Cui Hehua stood there, feeling even more aggrieved that Wang Defa hadn't come down to greet her. What, now that he'd got her, he didn't cherish her anymore? Which groom doesn't help his bride into the car? She glared resentfully at Wang Defa, remaining motionless. Wang Defa just wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible; he was so embarrassed.

So, one was anxious for her to get in the car and leave, while the other was waiting for her to get out and help him. The two stared at each other, and the more they stared, the more dissatisfied they became with each other, thinking that the other was being tactless.

It was the matchmaker who, seeing things were going wrong, stepped in to smooth things over and helped Cui Hehua into the car.

This matchmaker's fee is much harder to earn than the Song family's.
