Shi Murou looked over and exclaimed, "Hey, isn't this that little girl and her family?"

She immediately understood: "This little girl said she would help me, and if she succeeded, she would get three taels of silver. Of course, she wouldn't bother picking up something from the ground."

They get covered in dust, how unsightly!

After the copper coins in the two basins were all spilled, many villagers' clothes were torn, and some were trampled and injured. There was a cacophony of complaints and cries, but some people were also overjoyed.

"Haha, my family managed to snag over a hundred coins."

"My family managed to snag over sixty coins."

Some of the injured only managed to snatch a few coins or a dozen coins, which wasn't enough to pay for medical treatment or medicine.

"Alright, everyone's had their fill. Now I can share my good news with you all," Shi Murou said.

The noisy crowd gradually quieted down.

Having taken their money, it's time to play the straight man.

Shi Murou took out the guarantee from her sleeve and read it aloud in front of everyone.

"Rou'er, the moment I first saw you, it was as if a hundred flowers bloomed in the world, filling the air with their fragrance. I fell deeply in love with you. I thank Heaven for bestowing upon me this blessing, allowing me to win your favor and spend three months with you. We cherish each other, our hearts are in sync, and we have each other etched into our very bones... You are the right person I have ever met, the only woman I want to marry. In this life, I will not choose anyone but you. If I break this vow, may I be struck by lightning, die a horrible death, and never be reincarnated."

Such cheesy sweet talk sent chills down the spines of the honest and law-abiding villagers. Goosebumps rose all over their bodies, and some young women and wives even covered their ears, their faces flushed with embarrassment, and they couldn't help but want to run away.

But having received their money, everyone had no choice but to patiently stay there.

One of the more shameless ones laughed and said, "This love letter is so sincere and touching. I heard from the girl earlier that her sweetheart is from our Datian Village. I wonder which brother is so lucky. Tell us so we can all be happy."

Then the younger men started joking with each other.

"Is it you? Is it you?"

"I don't have that kind of luck, and I'm not good at sweet-talking people."

"Stone Egg, you're the best at sweet-talking people, aren't you?"

"I wouldn't dare to try to coax a rich girl, I'm not afraid of being beaten to death by her parents."

It can be said that these people are well aware that if they want to lay a finger on the daughters of wealthy or official families, they not only need to be good at sweet-talking, but also face the obstacle of the woman's entire family, which is an insurmountable chasm.

Shi Murou found it very interesting to watch everyone guessing, and she watched with her arms crossed for a while.

A sneer appeared on her lips. These families fight each other over a few copper coins. Even if they are betrothed as children, how can they possibly compete with her?

Qiao Xi'er gently touched Qiao Lian'er's arm: "Lian'er, tell me, which young man from our village has this young lady taken a fancy to?"

Seeing her older cousin looking like she was watching a melon, Qiao Lian'er lowered her eyes and simply took her hand.

Qiao Xi'er looked down and was a little puzzled. Why did she feel that Lian'er was exuding a solemn aura?

At this point, Shi Murou also felt that it was about time.

"Alright, alright, you're all wrong. I'll tell you the truth."

"The person who is compatible with me—"

She looked around at everyone present, a touch of shyness appearing on her face: "It's the Shen family, Shen Liang."
