No Letting My Daughter Sit at the Table? Fine, Then No One Will Eat!

As Shuiqing opened her eyes, she saw the dilapidated room, half a piece of darkened bread, and five children with malnutrition, their faces full of concern. Eldest sister-in-law sneered, “It’s ...

Chapter 173 My Heart Is Beating Strongly (1/2)

Aunt Fan really didn't expect to be rejected.

And I was rejected so decisively.

Sun Jinhua used to always complain that the Ding family had their eye on her son, and that since she didn't have a son of her own, she was always trying to take advantage of him. But now the situation is different from what she said.

She turned her head to look at Sun Jinhua, stunned.

Sun Jinhua's face was long and her triangular eyes were gloomy. She gave her son a wink.

Fan Erzhu received the message and said to Qin Yilin, "My mother finally agreed to let your daughter join the family, so don't try to put on airs and control her."

Their family owns a house, land, and forests in Shanshui Village, and also has several other families in the clan, making them the largest family in Shanshui Village.

The Ding family has no foundation, but by climbing up to the Fan family, they will have a powerful backer in the future. What more could they ask for?

Qin Yilin was truly shocked.

I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless!

This is a royal selection of concubines, and it even requires the approval of the Empress Dowager. Those who know the family know that the Fan family is dirt poor, but those who don't might think that some prestigious family has taken a fancy to the impoverished Ding family.

"Take control of me? I'll take control of you, my ass! Get lost! If you bother me again, I'll go to the old village chief and make you pay for the herbs!"

"Hey, why are you so angry? Besides, we clearly said the herbs were free, so why are we being charged for them now?" Fan Erzhu was embarrassed by the scolding, and when he heard that the herbs he had eaten for free were now being charged for, he became furious.

Qin Yilin said angrily, "Who said it was free? It's because you haven't given me any money yet!"

I was thinking you would be grateful, but I never expected you would be so grateful as to come and eat up the last of my Ding family's descendants.

"Alright, then we'll go around the whole village and have them judge this. If accepting the money can spare you this 'gratitude,' then we'll definitely accept it!"

Damn it, she's almost bursting with temper.

Calm down! She's always been known for her gentle and virtuous demeanor in the village; you can't expect her to swear.

Fan Erzhu and Sun Jinhua thought about it carefully and realized that they did not seem to have said that they would not accept money.

They always thought it was just wild grass in the mountains and forests, nothing special, and only thought about coming to ask for it, without mentioning money.

If this matter really escalates to the point where the old village chief and the villagers are in front of him, they will have no choice but to intervene.

Seeing that the usually gentle and kind Aunt Ding had cursed someone, Aunt Fan finally believed that she had never taken a liking to Sun Jinhua's son.

But thinking of the clothes and shoes she would give as a thank-you gift to the matchmaker, she decided to try her best: "Ding family, look at the Fan family's son, he's from a good family and strong, it wouldn't be a bad match for your daughter, would it?"

Qin Yilin snorted coldly.

Are they from a wealthy family?

They valued those few acres of land more than their own lives. The old village chief and other families would go out to work during the off-season to earn some money for a rainy day.

The women in those households tended their vegetable gardens at home and also raised livestock to supplement their income.

Only the Fan family previously earned money by having Fan Er copy books, and by having the second wife tend the vegetable garden and raise chickens and ducks.

The Fan family has five strong laborers. The men don't go out to work, and the women don't take care of the housework, vegetable garden, or livestock. They're lazy and greedy, so it's no wonder they're not doing well!

As for being physically strong?

Ah, it all seems like that now.

She straightened her expression and said the words she had already discussed: "My daughter has already chosen a partner, but she is still young, so we haven't told anyone yet. Thank you for your concern."

Jiajia is still young. If we raise her for a few more years, we can pick a good orphan and, with her and the head of the household's help, they can live a peaceful and happy life together.

Aunt Fan opened her mouth, realizing that the other party had already decided on the candidate.

How could he possibly be interested in Sun Jinhua's son?

In the past, it was always Sun Jinhua who was delusional and believed everything she heard.
