Lu Huaian got up early but didn't want to come. He knew that Jian Ning had saved Sanniang and her son, but he was worried that he would feel disgusted when he saw Ding Youtian. If he couldn't control his temper and said something he shouldn't, it would affect the harmony between the two families.

But he had to bite the bullet and come. If he didn't come, Sanniang would definitely make a scene. Seeing Ding Youtian, he felt like a thorn was stuck in his heart. And then there were those who knew it was his wife who had the cesarean section to deliver the baby, and they all came around asking questions. He blushed with shame, feeling like they were all mocking him. He thought to himself that everyone knew Sanniang had been seen naked by Ding Youtian, and they were deliberately making fun of him, making a fool of him.

He regretted it so much that he shouldn't have come. He set off firecrackers, handed the flag to Jian Ning, and left quickly without saying a word.

"Something seems to be wrong with Lu Huaian. He just left without saying goodbye. We didn't offend him, did we?" Jian Ning asked Ding Youtian quietly.

"Isn't his mother sick? Maybe Sanniang has no one to take care of her, so she was in a hurry to go back and forgot to tell her."

Jian Ning felt that what he said made sense, but she felt bad that the other person had come all the way to support her and hadn't even had a sip of tea. She planned to visit Sanniang in a couple of days and bring some game with her as a token of her appreciation.

The villagers began lining up to see the doctor. The village head and clan leader helped maintain order. Most of the people who came to see the doctor were elderly, mostly for eye problems. Jian Ning gave them eye drops one by one and asked them to use them for a while and come back for a follow-up visit.

After being busy for an hour or so, it gradually quieted down.

She had calmed down a bit, but Old Ding's family had started to stir up trouble. Ding Zhu's in-laws had sent a matchmaker to cancel the engagement, claiming they had consulted a master to reconcile their horoscopes and that they were incompatible, both lacking the water element, making them unsuitable for marriage. The man, knowing he was in the wrong, refused to ask for the full return of the betrothal gift, only half.

The matchmaker didn't beat around the bush and stated her purpose directly. Ding Zhu burst into tears. It would be difficult for a girl to find another husband after her engagement was broken off. Liu was so angry that she jumped three feet high and pushed the matchmaker into the yard.

"Go tell that shameless guy, he still wants to return the betrothal gift, no way!"

"I'm just here to tell you that whether your two families succeed or not has nothing to do with me, and it's not me who made you two fail, so there's no need for you to yell at me."

The matchmaker gets paid for her errands and is only responsible for passing on messages. She is not responsible for helping the man get back half of the betrothal gift. Those who do this job are all human sperm, and it was agreed upon before they came.

The matchmaker flicked her handkerchief and walked away with her big butt twisted.

"Oh my God, why did such a disaster happen to me!" Liu collapsed on the ground, beating her chest and crying.

Yesterday she was leaning against the door and watching Meng and Gao make fun of her, but today the situation is reversed. Meng and Gao are leaning against the door of the main hall, one on each side watching her make fun of her.

Both of them felt very relieved. Although Meng also hated Gao for saying yesterday that her son would only earn her an imperial decree and not Meng's, Meng hated Liu even more. As a mother-in-law, she had no money, and now her daughter-in-law took charge of the household and ignored her. This made her teeth itch with hatred.

I dream of beating Liu and the boss to death!

Little did they know that they were too happy too soon. Before Liu could even cry a few times, Wu Fengxian and Wu Fengfu came in with a swagger.

When Meng saw Wu Fengxian, she remembered the money she had spent to ask her to surrender Jian, and the fact that she had been kicked down the slope by Old Ding and had been lying in bed for more than half a month and unable to take care of herself. She became furious and pounced on her, trying to tear her apart.

"Wait!" Wu Fengxian raised one hand, holding a gift in both hands. But the gift wasn't for Mrs. Meng. She knew that Mrs. Meng was no longer the head of Old Ding's family, and Mrs. Meng only thought it was a gift for her.

She paused for the sake of the gift. Just as she was about to reach out to take the gift box from her hand, Wu Fengxian said coldly, "This isn't for you. I'm not here to argue with you. I'm here to propose marriage on behalf of my nephew. Humph!"

After she said that, she pushed Meng, who was blocking her way, away with her butt and walked straight towards Liu.

"Congratulations, eldest brother's wife." Wu Fengxian squinted at Wu Fengfu again, "Why don't you come up and meet your mother-in-law? Why are you so embarrassed to do so?"

"Hehe." Wu Fengfu laughed dryly twice. How could he be embarrassed? He stepped forward and bowed to Liu. He wanted to kneel on one leg, but then he thought that he was just asking for a concubine, so he changed it to bowing.

"Mother-in-law, I greet you."

He had a smile on his face and didn't even want to say a word to his son-in-law. He felt that calling her "mother-in-law" was enough to give Liu face.

"What are you shouting about? Who is your mother-in-law? What idiot did you come from? Why are you shouting at her?" Liu didn't recognize Wu Fengfu at all. She didn't dare to look around in the court yesterday. In addition, Wu Fengfu had a day off today and came in casual clothes. How could she know that he was a clerk in the town government office?

She glanced at Wu Shufu and felt even more disgusted.

He has a rat-like mustache, is skinny, and looks shifty. He's probably older than her servant Youwangdu. He wants to marry her Zhu'er despite his ugly appearance. He's really blind!

It would have been fine if Liu hadn't looked at him, but once she did, she felt sick.

"Get out! Don't dirty my yard!" She shouted at Wu Fengfu and then tried to push Wu Fengxian.

"Hey, hey, hey, stop pushing! Listen to me!" Wu Fengxian stamped her foot and nodded at her nephew. "Do you know who he is? I'll scare you to death if I tell you. Listen carefully, my nephew is a clerk in the town government office and the town magistrate's brother-in-law. It's a blessing for you that he's taken a fancy to your Dingzhu. Don't be so ungrateful and take advantage of me!"

Wu Fengfu also straightened up, coughed twice, and put on a dignified look.

"What? What did you say?" When they heard that it was the clerk in the town government office and the town magistrate's brother-in-law, not only Liu was stunned, but Meng and Gao were also stunned.

Seeing this, Wu Fengfu straightened his back even more.

Ding Zhu was lying on the bed in her room crying. When she heard the noise in the yard, she came out and took a look. She recognized that it was the clerk from yesterday. He was almost as old as her father. She had just been broken off from engagement, and now she had to deal with such an old man proposing marriage. Isn't this humiliating?

She was so angry that she stamped her feet and burst into tears.

"Oh, little Dingzhu, don't cry, don't cry. When you cry, my heart feels like it's broken..." When Wu Fengfu saw her crying like a pear blossom in the rain, he couldn't control himself anymore. If the marriage hadn't been decided yet, he would have wanted to go up to her and hug her in his arms to comfort her.

"Mom! Mom!" Seeing him coming over and making ugly faces like a ghost, Ding Zhu was so angry that she stomped her feet and her body was almost twisted into a knot.

Liu Shi realized that her daughter, a beautiful girl, could not possibly marry such an ugly man. This was in her own home, not in court. She tried to muster up her courage and ran over to block Ding Zhu. She did not dare to point at Wu Fengfu, but turned her head and said, "Sir, please go back. My daughter has already told her in-laws."

"Bah!" As soon as she finished speaking, Meng jumped out.
