Chapter 34: Rift

"mother……"

Qin Huiyin pulled Tang Luwu back to the Tang family.

There were two strange women sitting in the main room, one with a big smile on her face and the other looking at them with a mean look.

Li Taohua sat above with a cold expression.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. You've become more and more beautiful. When she reaches marriage age, the young men from miles around will be vying for her." Qian said these flattering words with a smile.

Li Taohua's weak spot is her daughter. Qian has grasped her lifeline and knows what Li Taohua likes and dislikes to hear. If she wants to succeed today, she must first make Li Taohua happy.

"Mom, who are they?" Qin Huiyin went straight to the point, too lazy to beat around the bush with them.

"This is Aunt Qian, and this is Aunt Zheng." Li Taohua introduced them to her. "They are here for your sister's wedding."

"My sister is only twelve years old, it's still too early for her to get married!" Qin Huiyin said calmly, "It's too early to find a husband for her now. Besides, even if I find a husband for my sister, I can't say a man from the Zheng family."

Zheng Li was unhappy.

She said in a veiled tone, "My Zheng family is willing to pay a dowry of six taels of silver. You can go and ask around to see which family is willing to pay so much to marry a yellow-haired girl. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

"Your precious son has a corrupt character and a bad behavior. He is not even worthy of carrying my sister's shoes." Qin Huiyin fought back.

"Bah, a yellow-haired girl like her, who is skinny and dark-skinned, doesn't look down on her in our family, so what else can she be picky about?"

Zheng Dapang ran in breathlessly, pointed at Qin Huiyin and said, "Mom, I want to marry her."

Li Taohua's face changed drastically, and she said angrily: "What are you daydreaming about?"

Zheng Dapang stamped his feet and said coquettishly to Zheng Li: "Mom, I want to marry her. Don't we have money at home? Ask them how much money they want and give it to them."

"You evil bastard, what's the point of marrying her? Are you going to worship her as an ancestor? Do you think she looks like someone who can do anything?"

"I don't care, I just like this."

The mother and son discussed the matter of marrying Qin Huiyin as if they were alone, as if as long as they were willing to pay the money, that person would be theirs. This time, even the matchmaker Qian couldn't stand it anymore.

"Big Fatty, didn't we agree to come and ask for marriage from Miss Luwu?"

"My son likes this one, so let's change the one to propose marriage." Zheng Li said as if it was a matter of course.

"What's going on?" Tang Yichen walked in from outside.

The main room was in a mess, with voices of men and women. He walked in and saw Tang Luwu with a pale face, and Qin Huiyin was pulling her with an angry face.

When Li Taohua saw Tang Yichen, she suddenly felt guilty and dared not look at him.

When Qian came to her to propose this marriage, she was indeed tempted. At that time, she thought of marrying off her stepdaughter in exchange for a gift, which would not only reduce the burden, but also make some money. But after her daughter started her business, she didn't think about it anymore. Now Qian showed up with Zheng Li, and she was interrupted by Qin Huiyin before she had time to refuse.

Then Zheng Dapang rushed in again, clamoring to marry Qin Huiyin, and she was so angry that she didn't say it clearly. Now that Tang Yichen asked, she felt uneasy.

Recently, the family has been harmonious and everyone is getting along well. In fact, this kind of life is pretty good. She doesn't want to make trouble anymore and wants to live a good life with the Tang family.

When Qian saw Tang Yichen appear, she told him about the marriage she had agreed on with Li Taohua some time ago.

"I didn't expect that Big Fatty would suddenly fall in love with Yin." Qian tried to smooth things over. "Yin is a good girl, but she's a little young. How could Mother Huiyin bear to let her go? Big Fatty, Luwu is very capable."

Tang Yichen looked at Li Taohua with a sharp gaze: "You want to marry my sister off?"

Li Taohua answered stiffly, "If a family has a daughter, hundreds of families will come to ask for her. If someone comes to ask for marriage, should I tell them not to come? I deliberately raised the betrothal gift to say that I didn't mean that, so that they would give up."

Tang Yichen could see that Li Taohua was feeling guilty, but he just didn't point it out.

He looked at Qian and the others indifferently: "Did you hear clearly? Why don't you leave!"

"Brother Chen, everyone knows your family's situation. As long as you marry off your two sisters, everything will be solved! Yesterday I met Mr. Jiang, and he was still interested in Yin, and was willing to pay fifty taels of silver."

"Get lost." Tang Yichen was angry.

"If you don't want to marry Yin, you can consider Lu Wu and Da Pang's marriage. Six taels of silver is not a low amount."

"Didn't he say he looked down on my sister?" Tang Yichen said sarcastically.

Of course Zheng Dapang looked down on her, and now he has set his sights on Qin Huiyin.

However, Zheng Li didn't think so. Looking at their family's attitude, it was impossible for them to marry Qin Huiyin. But it was also true that if her daughter had such a good color, she would keep her for a few more years and negotiate a good price later. It would be a loss to marry her off now. Besides, she didn't want such a vixen to be her daughter-in-law. She liked Tang Luwu because she was honest and willing to work.

"Seven taels. This is the highest price." Zheng Li said, "Even if we marry Tang Luwu, we can't let them consummate their marriage right away. Look at her skinny appearance, I don't know how many years she will take care of before she can add branches to our family. If we marry her, you can save a lot of money to support her."

Tang Yichen sneered: "Don't you have a mirror at home? If there is no mirror, turn left and walk forward to the river. You can ask him to squat down and take a good look at himself. However, I don't know if the pigs in the slaughterhouse will look in the mirror."

"What do you mean?" Zheng Li roared angrily.

"Don't understand? Those things on both sides of your head are two holes? I told you to get out of my house. If you don't get out, I will make this walking pig crawl out." Tang Yichen pointed at Zheng Dapang.

Zheng Dapang screamed: "Mom, he called me a pig, he called me..."

Zheng Li rolled up her sleeves and rushed over: "I'll tear your stinky mouth apart."

Qin Huiyin stopped Zheng Li.

Seeing that Zheng Li was about to slap her, Li Taohua grabbed the broom on the ground and slapped her: "Try to touch my daughter."

Qian tried to dissuade him: "If you have something to say, just talk it out nicely. If the marriage fails, don't ruin the relationship!"

Zheng Li was very angry and would not listen to what Qian said.

Li Taohua was also angered by Zheng Li, so she acted quickly and ruthlessly.

"Ah...Mom..." Zheng Dapang screamed.

Zheng Li turned around and saw Qin Huiyin and Tang Luwu, one holding a wooden stick and the other holding a feather duster, chasing after Zheng Dapang and beating him up.

Tang Yichen didn't do anything, but every time Zheng Dapang wanted to do something to the two girls, Tang Yichen would stretch out his legs to trip him, making him fall flat on his face. Then, the two girls would rush towards him.

"Damn it, if you don't want to get married, then don't get married. Why are you hitting my son? You are really bullying me." Zheng Li stopped fighting with Li Taohua. She rushed over to protect her son, crying as if she had suffered a great injustice.
