His words implied that he was blaming Ye Caiping.

Grandma Ye frowned. She knew that Ye Yong had been implicated by Cai Ping, but she couldn't say anything. "Alright, let's ask other matchmakers to look for someone."

“Sister-in-law, Yong’er is so grown up now, why don’t you ask him for his opinion? Maybe he has his own ideas.” Ye Caiping walked in.

Grandma Ye and Madam Du were startled.

Grandma Ye asked, "Caiping, how long have you been standing outside?"

“Well, I’ve been standing here ever since the matchmaker came in.” Ye Caiping sat down next to Old Lady Ye.

"My child... don't take what the matchmaker said to heart. She just had ill intentions." Old Mrs. Ye was afraid that the matchmaker would hurt Ye Caiping, so she comforted her repeatedly.

"It's nothing." Ye Caiping waved her hand and looked at Madam Du: "Sister-in-law, why don't you ask Yong'er what ideas he has?"

Ye Caiping recalled what she had seen on the mountain last time. Ye Yong was with a girl, and their relationship seemed quite special.

Du was still annoyed that Ye Caiping had dragged Ye Yong down, so she glared at her and said, "Ask him? Ha, you're not talking about Hu Xiuxiu, are you?"

Ye Caiping was taken aback. The girl's name was Hu Xiuxiu? Her family knew about it?

Grandma Ye said, "Caiping, have you seen them together? Isn't that girl big-eyed, not very fair-skinned, but pretty?"

"Um."

"That's her." Madam Du pursed her lips. "They said the bride price is 20 taels! We can't afford it."

Grandma Ye said in a low voice, "We all know that Yong'er likes Hu Xiuxiu. Last year, he even went to the Hu family to test the waters. As soon as Xiuxiu's mother heard the hint, she spoke frankly, saying that her daughter was the best and that she would ask for 20 taels of silver, otherwise she would not marry her."
