Lai Chunxiang had a stroke of good luck and was chosen by a wealthy family. Her mother was very pleased, and she herself was very willing, so they hurriedly got engaged and were to marry into the family at the beginning of next month.

Seeing that Lai Chunxiang, who was worse off than her, had found a good family, Qin Yumei became even more determined in her mind. She also successfully broke off her engagement, but she was not as lucky as Lai Chunxiang and was not favored by a wealthy family!

I've looked at them many times, but I've never found one that I like. In fact, I have this feeling that the more I look at them, the worse they get!

Compared to Lai Chunxiang, she is simply unbearable to look at!

But Qin Yumei refused to lower her standards and wanted to find someone even better than Lai Chunxiang!

Because in her eyes, Lai Chunxiang was big, dark and ugly, and couldn't compare to her at all. She thought she looked good no matter how she twisted her body, and even her pouting lips were full of charm!

This made her unable to swallow her anger, and she always wanted to surpass others, ideally outshining everyone else!

This meant that her life was destined to be very difficult!

Meanwhile, Lai Jiu and He San went out to make a living and were reportedly involved in a robbery, so they were arrested and imprisoned again. This time, they probably won't get out so easily!

They tried to redeem him but were refused. No matter what conditions they were given, no one paid any attention!

These are bad times, and it's not easy to spend time in jail. Prisons don't support idlers, and you're in for a lot of suffering!

Upon hearing the news, the family that had taken a liking to Lai Chunxiang immediately called off the engagement. They were all respectable people who couldn't bear the shame and were unwilling to marry someone with a bad reputation.

Lai Chunxiang was devastated. She dreamed of becoming a young mistress every day, counting down the days, and even tried to imitate other people's mannerisms, afraid that she would look too unsophisticated and lose face!

This beautiful dream is easy to have, but also easy to shatter!

They were back to square one, and even worse than before!

Seeing that things were not going well, her mother quickly tried to find a husband for Lai Chunxiang before many people knew about it. Unfortunately, no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't find a suitable one, and the situation only got worse. Finally, her mother made up her mind and arranged a marriage for her daughter!

It doesn't matter who I marry, as long as the bride price is substantial enough, everything is negotiable!

My daughter is simply not destined for that, so don't think about it too much!

If it had been any later, everyone would probably have known that her engagement had been broken off and that her older brother was back in jail as a repeat offender, making it even harder for her to get married!

Not only can she not get married, but she also has to support him/her. It's such a loss!

When Lai Chunxiang learned that she had been engaged again to a disabled man, she refused and begged her mother to give her another chance, saying that she was sure she could find a rich man again!

But her mother refused to believe it and declared that once the bride price was accepted, she had to marry him whether she wanted to or not, and she had no choice!

Worried that Lai Chunxiang would run away from the wedding, the wedding date was set in a hurry, with only half a month to prepare. Moreover, they simply came over to pick her up and that was considered the marriage, saying it was for the sake of the groom's face.

Since the two of them are just getting married to be together anyway, there's no need to worry about those trivial matters in between; they should save as much as possible!

Upon hearing this, Qin Yumei sighed a few times, remarking how unpredictable life truly is!

She originally wanted to accept her fate, lower her standards, and make do. What wasn't meant to be hers would be lost even if she got it. But ever since she learned that Lai Chunxiang's engagement had been broken off, her own matchmaking had been going surprisingly smoothly!

Her heart wavered again, and the thought she had suppressed resurfaced!

In the end, she really did find a wealthy family!

After the engagement was successfully completed, she was just waiting for the wedding date. When she had some free time, she thought back on everything and realized that she and Lai Chunxiang really couldn't be good at the same time; only one of them could be good!

Therefore, she must hold on tightly to her happiness and her luck, and not let Lai Chunxiang ruin it!

When Lai Chunxiang heard that Qin Yumei had found a wealthy family, she was so angry that she threw a stool and banged on the door!

I hate her mother so much!

Everyone says to keep looking, maybe we'll find it!

I refuse to believe it, I'll just label her as disabled!

Now look what's happened, she's become a laughing stock!

Qin Yumei was smug!

She should have been just as smug!

Now she can only marry a good-for-nothing!

When her mother heard about it, she sighed and didn't say much. They had already accepted the betrothal gifts, so why would she want to back out?

What if I change my mind and can't find a good family to marry into, and the bride price isn't as high here anymore?

Don't you know your own family's situation?

Stop overthinking it. Be realistic, once you get the bride price, nothing else matters!

But Lai Chunxiang was unwilling to give up. Although she was locked in the house waiting for her wedding, she never stopped thinking about escaping!

She didn't think she was inferior to Qin Yumei. She thought she was quite charming, and at least she had an advantage over Qin Yumei because she had a big bottom, which made her easier to give birth to!

Many families use this!

These are all things that happened later. Su Nanxi merely touched the grass that was teasing the crickets a little!

If they didn't have greed, no one could sway them.

They were a little scared at first, but seeing that the Mo family hadn't made a move, they gradually relaxed, thinking that the Mo family wouldn't pursue the matter and probably didn't know who was behind it!

Everything was as usual, people were going about their business as usual, but something seemed a little different!

They found no substantial evidence, and they didn't know what was different!

In the end, it all came down to my own guilty conscience and overthinking!

After arranging everything, Su Nanxi returned to the city.

However, Su Nanxi did return, but Fu Mingchuan and Yan Feng also returned. No one knew why they came back, and no one dared to ask.

Because these two looked like they were not to be trifled with, not easy to talk to, and would definitely resort to violence without wasting words!

A single glance from him can send chills down your spine!

Don't get too close unless absolutely necessary!

Xiao Liu was overjoyed to see the two of them return, because he admired their martial arts skills and wanted to learn some too. He didn't aspire to become a great hero; he just wanted to learn some self-defense techniques so that others wouldn't bully him!

Out of respect for Su Nanxi, the two would teach her a thing or two whenever they had time.

So when the two of them came back, Xiao Liu was the happiest one!

He's gotten so thick-skinned from all the fuss, he's ready to get beaten up!

How can you learn martial arts without getting beaten up? You can't learn without bruises on your body.

He's not afraid of being beaten, he can take it, and he has to be able to withstand it!

My sister said that having more skills is never a bad thing. Practicing martial arts is a good thing. You can learn self-defense techniques and also improve your health!

"Yanfeng, how many days do you plan to stay this time?"

"I don't know! It depends on the situation, maybe a day, maybe a few days?"

They're not coming back just for fun; it could be for a few days.

Perhaps I'll receive a mission soon and then go out.

"Is Su Su back?"

Outside the gate, Liu Qianqian's cheerful voice rang out.

As Xiao Liu walked, he said, "My sister went out! She hasn't come back! Is there something you need from her?"

The light in Liu Qianqian's eyes dimmed, and her voice became muffled, "Oh! It's nothing!"

After a while, Xiao Liu saw that she was alright, so she went back and asked again, "Do you know where she works?"

Xiao Liu shook his head, "I don't know!"

He had never heard of his sister working!
