Chapter 6 Lin Xuemei looks down on Ji Xuening

Ji Xuening's appearance is very different from the young heartthrobs of the new century and the domineering CEOs in novels. He is tall and sturdy, with his back straight when he stands there. He has a regular face, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth. He looks resolute and serious, and exudes a masculine and tough spirit.

She had read countless novels set in different eras, and the male protagonists in them were described in the style of domineering CEOs in romance novels. They generally had angular faces, deep and unfathomable eyes, high noses, and tightly pursed thin lips, as if they had been sculpted by God himself. Their eyes were cold and aloof, ruthless and indifferent, and their every move exuded nobility!

Wang Yuqing once thought that there were domineering CEOs in the past, but now that she sees Ji Xuening's appearance, she feels that this appearance is more in line with the present era.

Her heart pounded. This was exactly her type. She loved young, handsome men and domineering CEOs, but not the kind of love where she wanted to kiss during the day and have sex at night.

Wang Yulan and Wang Yuyan, who were standing next to him, were also secretly watching him. Wang Yuyan, in particular, was covering her face with a blush.

Wang Yuqing knew that she wanted to get married at this time, but she also thought that he was too poor.

Lin Xuemei and the matchmaker started arguing and cursing at each other, using very crude local dialect. Wang Yuqing couldn't understand them, but she knew they were cursing very loudly.

Lin Xuemei jumped up and cursed, "Fuck your mother, believe it or not, I'll kill you!"

The matchmaker jumped even higher than her: "Try touching me! Don't think I'm afraid just because your whole family is here. If you push me too far, I'll pick up a brick and smash you to death."

Just as they were rolling up their sleeves, ready to fight, Wang Yuqing spoke up: "I'm willing to marry him."

"..."

No one heard her, and no one paid any attention to her.

Wang Yuqing blinked, then squeezed through the crack in the door and into the courtyard, carrying a snakeskin bag on her back. Facing Lin Xuemei and the matchmaker, she loudly announced, "I am willing to marry him!"

Lin Xuemei was about to start arguing with the matchmaker when she was suddenly interrupted by her voice. She stared at her in disbelief, unable to react for a moment.

Ji Xuening, who was standing to the side, also frowned as she looked at her.

Lin Xuemei was the first to react, yelling, "Willing my ass! You think you can just say you're willing? Get inside now!"

Then she noticed the snakeskin bag on her shoulder, and she glared at her angrily: "What are you doing? What's the meaning of packing your things?"

Wang Yuqing was completely unfazed, even quite confident: "Of course I'm packing my things to marry into the Ji family. My betrothal to Ji Xuening was arranged by my grandfather and Grandpa Ji when I was just born. Although it was just a verbal agreement, Grandpa Ji seemed to have given our family rice, flour, and canned goods, which we accepted, meaning we tacitly agreed..."

Lin Xuemei felt that without a written agreement, it didn't count at all. So what if she accepted the gift? It was someone else's choice to give it to her.

She said, "What's the point of having a written agreement?"

Wang Yuqing: "That was an arranged marriage by the older generation of grandfathers. Whether it counts or not is up to me. If I don't agree, it doesn't count. If I agree, then it counts."

Lin Xuemei was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She stepped forward and grabbed Wang Yuqing, saying, "Have you lost your mind? Why did you marry into his family? They're from the countryside, poor peasants, so poor they can't even afford to eat. You'll suffer if you marry into that family."

"Could things be any worse than staying at home?"

Wang Yuqing smiled and asked in return.

Lin Xuemei was clearly taken aback for a moment, then she said, "He has a blind old lady and three children at home. Do you want to marry into the family and become a nanny?"

“Staying at home is the same as being a nanny. If I go to his house to take care of four people, I have to take care of six people at home.”

Wang Yuqing still had a smile on her face.

Lin Xuemei was left speechless by the rebuttal.

Wang Yuyan, standing nearby, said angrily, "Mom, let her marry if she wants to. Just don't let her beg for food at our doorstep and embarrass us."

Wang Yulan was much smarter than her and said, "Silly Er, this is still your home. Your parents gave birth to you and raised you. Even if you work as a nanny at home, it's to repay their kindness. How can you think of working as a nanny for outsiders? You can't be so cold-blooded."

Wang Yuqing felt contempt for her, but she looked at Wang Yulan with amusement: "You're not cold-blooded, you're warm-hearted. Your in-laws are rich and powerful, so could you please introduce me to a family with good living conditions?"

Wang Yulan looked disgusted: "What are you talking about? You think you can marry into a family with good living conditions?" Not only did she look down on the original owner, she also had no say in her husband's family.

Wang Yuqing replied, "You won't help me find a husband, and you won't let me get married? You said that someone like me doesn't deserve to marry into a family with good living conditions. Well, I just want to marry into a family with kind hearts. I'm still your sister. Do you want me to never get married and have to take care of you during your postpartum period and help you take care of your children? But my eldest sister's family is rich. If I can't get married, I can rely on my eldest sister and you can support me."

Wang Yulan was panicking inside, but she didn't show it on her face: "Let Mom say it. Mom agrees to your marriage. What can we say? If we say too much, you won't appreciate it and will think I'm harming you."

She then said condescendingly, "Nowadays, everyone's criteria for finding a partner are: first, military personnel; second, cadres; third, workers. They would rather die than marry a man who suffers. It's because they haven't been educated, have low cognitive levels, and lack vision. They can't wait to find a man to marry, and that's how their lives will be."

Wang Yuqing thought what she said made sense and showed a clear-headed perspective. However, she didn't realize that the man's character and the character of his family were also very important. Moreover, she believed that choosing Ji Xuening would prevent her from suffering.

Wang Yuqing clicked her tongue enviously: "Tsk tsk, you're right. Unlike you, who are highly educated and married a projectionist husband who dotes on you, whose parents take care of you, and who gets along well with her sisters-in-law, I really didn't study and have a low standard of living, so I could only marry a countryman."

In her memory, Wang Yulan's husband was a mama's boy who had even hit her at her mother's instigation. However, her mother-in-law passed away early, and she eventually managed to control her husband.

Wang Yulan always felt that Sha Er was being sarcastic towards her, but she clearly didn't know her family situation. Every time she went back to her parents' home, she acted as if she had a high status at home, so she felt that she was overthinking it.

However, she noticed yesterday morning that this silly boy she had always looked down on had suddenly become quite eloquent.

Lin Xuemei naturally disagreed, and she cursed again: "Marry my ass! Don't you have any shame? You're so eager to get married? Are you out of your mind? Get back inside right now, is breakfast ready?"

She reached out to pull it.

Wang Yuqing remained unmoved: "I said, I want to marry Ji Xuening!"

Lin Xuemei glared at her: "You damned fool, why didn't you stay in the county town? Why did you run off to marry into the countryside and suffer? Suffering is one thing, but do you want to disgrace the Wang family?"

Wang Yuqing looked at her calmly: "The Ji family has been poor peasants for three generations. Their class status is good. They are from a strong and influential family. Ji Xuening has also served in the army. Now, poor peasants are the masters of society. Don't keep talking about poverty and looking down on others. If you look down on his family, you are looking down on our country. If you are reported, you will probably go to jail."

Seeing that Wang Yuqing seemed serious, Lin Xuemei became a little scared. The matchmaker next to her seized the opportunity to say, "My family is also poor peasants. What did you just call me? I'm going to report you."

"Let her marry him!"

Wang Jiandong walked out of the courtyard with a gloomy face: "Marry if you want, it's none of our business if you die poor or starve."

Lin Xuemei glanced at her youngest son, Wang Baodi, and was still unwilling: "Why would you marry him..."
