Lin Xiao, who was listening nearby, was furious and was about to say something when he was interrupted by a voice.

Jiang's mother strode over aggressively: "So that's why you two came to my house. You're here to sell my daughter, huh? Bah! Since we've come this far, I don't need to hold back anymore. As for Wang Mazi, let your family let her marry whoever they want. Xiaoxi won't go. I'm telling you, unless I'm dead, no one can force my daughter."

“Oh dear, oh dear, look at this daughter-in-law! If any family had a daughter-in-law like this, they would be bullied to death. I, this old woman, kindly tried to find a good marriage for Er Ya, but you don’t know the heart of a good person.”

"Lin Jianguo, let them go. We don't welcome them here. And you, they're going to sell your daughter. Are you a dead man? Or are you trying to make a quick buck off her too?"

Lin Jianguo quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, I absolutely have no such thought. I've already told Mother what she just said. No, Xiaoxi is still too young."

Madam Niu added fuel to the fire, saying, "Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi, it's not even as nice as Er Ya. What were you thinking? You changed the name the elders gave you, how unfilial!"

Seeing that Old Madam Shen was also quite angry, Lin Jianfang stepped forward to persuade her, "Mother, it's not that my second brother and sister-in-law are unwilling, it's just that this really can't be done. No one would agree to this. Letting a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl marry a thirty-something-year-old man who has lost his wife, and then expecting her to become a mother right after entering the family. Otherwise, let's just let this matter go."

Grandma Shen pushed her away: "You think you can just let it go like that? When did you become the one in charge of this family? I've already taken the money, this marriage has to go ahead."

"If you dare, I'll go to the police station and report you."

Grandma Shen scoffed, "Go ahead, I don't know what I did wrong. Is it wrong for me to find a good family for my granddaughter? What family's daughter doesn't get married when she's grown up?"

"you……".

"Grandma, while I can still call you Grandma politely, you should know when to stop. Return the money to the other party, and let's not talk about this anymore. Our two families can still keep in touch. Otherwise..."

"What can you do to me otherwise?" Old Mrs. Shen lay on the ground with her arms outstretched, acting like a spoiled child.

Jiang's mother clutched her chest in anger, barely able to stand. Seeing this, Lin Xiao quickly stepped forward to support her: "Godmother, don't worry, I won't let Xiao Xi marry that kind of person."

"Grandma, don't act like a scoundrel here. If I don't want to do something, not only you, but even my parents have to listen to my opinion."

Seeing that Old Mrs. Shen was unmoved, they knew that she was going to persist in her blatant act.

"Brother Wang, have a few people escort this lady out. Also, have a few people stand at the door and stop them as soon as they come in. I'll give you a reward for that."

"good".

A few people came in with a whoosh, each carrying an arm or a leg, and then left with their heads held high.

Old Mrs. Shen shrieked, "Er Ya, you dare to throw me away? You think you're all grown up now, huh? You shameless little bitch, I'm trying to give you a good life and you're still not happy. You traitor! I should have strangled you when you were born, so you wouldn't be making me angry now. Ouch..."

After throwing Old Lady Shen out, Xiao Wang came over and pointed at Madam Niu, saying, "Boss, what about this one?"

Niu waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "Don't throw me, don't throw me, I can walk by myself."

After saying that, he quickly slipped away, afraid that they would drag him out.

"Second brother, second sister-in-law, I'm going out to see Mother and try to persuade her a little more."

Lin Jianfang also went out.

"Alright, you guys did a good job. We'll have something delicious for lunch today."

"Thank you, boss. If there's nothing else, we'll get back to work now."

"good".

Seeing that Jiang's mother was still quite angry, Lin Xi comforted her, "Mother, if they come again, just throw them out like I did just now. Why make yourself so unhappy?"

Lin Jianguo knew that his mother had really gone too far this time, so he assured Jiang's mother, "Don't worry, I won't let you marry Xiaoxi off like this. I'll talk to her about it later."

"I've already told you, my child is my life. It's okay if they bully me, but it's unacceptable if they bully my child. If anyone dares to bully my child, I'll fight them to the death."

"Okay, okay, don't worry, I understand, I'll talk to her."

Lin Xiao secretly made up his mind that he had to take Xiao Xi away as soon as possible. With wolves in front and tigers behind, how could he feel at ease?

After being thrown out, Old Mrs. Shen saw Lin Jianfang coming over and angrily scolded her, "Whose daughter are you? When I was being thrown out, why didn't you stop me? What's the point of having you?"

"Mother, you went a bit too far today. No wonder they're angry with you."

When Grandma Shen saw that Lin Jianfang dared to criticize her, she was furious: "Alright, you go home now, or Junzi will still be angry with you if he sees this."

With a wave of his hand, he urged her to go home. Lin Jianfang had no choice but to leave reluctantly. She really didn't want to go back to that home, so she wandered aimlessly around the streets.

Looking around to make sure no one was watching, Niu asked Old Lady Shen in a low voice, "Mother, my second son's wife doesn't want to. What should we do? Do we really have to return the money to Wang Mazi? That's five thousand yuan! Jinbao is still waiting for the money."

It turned out that after Wang Mazi saw Lin Xi by chance in town, he inquired everywhere about whose daughter she was. When he found out that she was from the Lin family, what a coincidence! He had just rejected the eldest granddaughter of the Lin family, so that very night he asked someone to go to Old Man Lin's house.

He got straight to the point, saying that he didn't like Da Ya, but had his eye on their second granddaughter and was willing to offer a dowry of five thousand yuan. This was unprecedented not only in their village but also in the entire town.

Grandma Shen was worried about Jinbao's fiancé demanding a dowry of one thousand yuan. How could her family afford such a large sum of money? But the marriage couldn't be called off. Jinbao was determined to marry that girl and lived at her house every day, declaring that if they didn't get married, he would become her live-in son-in-law and never go back home.

The second son's family has never been close to theirs. The old couple is counting on this precious grandson, so why is he always staying at the woman's family's house?

This is just like a pillow being delivered to someone who's sleepy; money is being offered right to their doorstep.

Old Mrs. Shen stared wide-eyed at the stacks of money the matchmaker had brought out, and repeatedly assured that Wang Mazi would be the groom by next month at the latest.

It seems that the second option won't work; she'll have to think of another way.

"Alright, let's go home and talk about it. No matter what, Er Ya has to marry Wang Mazi. Let's go back and discuss it first."

"Okay, but Mother has to hurry, Jinbao can't wait any longer."
