“You officials’ families have no manners at all. When you come to my house, I give you plenty of melon seeds and tea. I’ve been here for so long and I haven’t even seen a cup of plain water.”

The old lady slapped the sofa hard and looked at Yue Hongxia with a mocking expression.

Yue Hongxia felt a tightness in her chest, and desperately wanted to scoop a cup of water from the toilet and give it to that old hag. That day when she went to the Ye family, they had indeed served tea and melon seeds, but—

The tea leaves were old tea stems, bitter and astringent, and the melon seeds were so damp and limp that they were impossible to crack open. How could they serve such inferior goods to their guests and still have the nerve to say they had fulfilled their courtesy?

"Tsinghua, come out and pour some tea!"

Yue Hongxia called out to the inner room; she certainly wouldn't deign to pour tea for that old hag.

Lu Qinghua had no choice but to come out reluctantly. The old lady looked her up and down a few times, her eyes becoming more and more disgusted. She was too ugly. Even if Ye Qingqing had her hair down, she would be dozens of times prettier than this girl.

Even Ye Lan, who is half-dead, is more pretty than Lu Qinghua.

My parents don't know how they raised me, how did I grow up to be like this?

Lu Qinghua poured two cups of tea and handed them over with a stern face, without even saying "please have some tea." He was annoyed just seeing this old hag and Ye Qingqing.

The old lady's face darkened. Who was this ugly girl, who knew no manners at all, putting on such a deadpan face?

"Is this your daughter? She doesn't look like her father or her mother at all. She's grown up so unruly. It'll be hard for her to find a husband in the future."

The old lady chuckled a few times, ignoring Lu Qinghua and Yue Hongxia's dark faces, and continued to mock, "How about this, I have a grandson, he's a bit young, but he's very handsome and quite sensible. I don't mind that your daughter is ugly, so she can be my grandson's child bride. I won't ask you for a dowry, and you don't need to worry about the bride price. It's a double blessing!"

The old lady's idea was quite good. Ye Tong's brain wasn't working very well, so it would probably be difficult for him to find a wife in the future. This ugly girl, although she was a bit ugly, had a big butt, so having a grandson shouldn't be a problem.

Anyway, Ye Tong is an idiot and can't distinguish between beauty and ugliness, so as long as he has a wife to sleep with, that's fine.

Most importantly, since Lu Qinghua is so ugly, the bride price can be saved, which will save a lot of money. The more the old lady thought about it, the better the idea seemed, and she kept glancing at Lu Qinghua with her triangular eyes.

Lu Qinghua and Yue Hongxia didn't react for a moment, but when they understood what the old lady meant, they were furious.

"Pah! You think you can make me marry your family's idiot? Keep dreaming! Go back and take a piss and look in the mirror!"

Lu Qinghua was both ashamed and angry, and started cursing.

They actually sent her to be a child bride?

That old hag is delusional; a toad trying to eat swan meat!

After entering the house, Ye Qingqing, who had been silently standing in the background, couldn't sit still any longer. Although she also thought the old lady was too daring, Lu Qinghua's words made her very unhappy.

"Even if you were to pay Xiaotong to marry you, I wouldn't be willing!"

After scolding, Ye Qingqing turned to the old lady and said, "Grandma, Xiaotong is good-looking, has a big house, and is a Go prodigy. If you marry an ugly girl like her to Xiaotong, wouldn't that lower Xiaotong's status?"

The old lady suddenly realized, "That's right, my grandson has a big house, he won't have trouble finding a young and beautiful wife. This ugly girl is really not good enough for him. I was wrong."

"You're definitely not good enough for me. My family has a mansion with a color TV and refrigerator, and the floors are marble. It looks so grand. Your family only has a small, broken black and white TV. The house you live in is government-owned, and the furniture is neither new nor old. It's so shabby. If it weren't for your son ruining Ye Lan's reputation, I wouldn't even look at your family!"

Without taking a breath, the old lady launched into a tirade against Yue Hongxia's family from head to toe.
