Zhang Chunxue said in a cold tone, "Then go back and tell the Wang family that our Xiaoxiao is not getting married! She wants to go to school and study in high school!"
When Matchmaker Li reacted, the smile on her face disappeared, replaced by a kind of anger after being fooled.
She raised her voice and shrieked, "Zhang Chunxue! Are you kidding me? You're just saying you won't marry me, and now you're not? I've been running around trying to be your matchmaker. How easy is that? Besides, the Wang family has even paid the betrothal gift! One hundred yuan! And your family accepted it all!"
Matchmaker Li put her hands on her hips, spit flying. "Now you say you don't want to marry? It's too late! How can you regret it after receiving the betrothal gift? If this gets out, will your Zhong family still have any face?"
"Dowry?" Zhang Chunxue raised her eyebrows and glanced sharply at Matchmaker Li. "Who accepted it? How come I didn't know that our family accepted a hundred yuan in betrothal gifts from the Wang family?"
Matchmaker Li was stunned by her gaze, then stiffened her neck and said, "Who else could accept it? Of course it's your family! The Wang family told me directly that they paid the money and asked me to come and ask for a date!"

Li Hongjuan, who had been listening attentively nearby, could no longer bear it.
She was already angry because Zhang Chunxue didn't let Xiaoxiao get married, which cut off her and Zhong Cheng's hope of making money to buy a job. Now she heard that Zhang Chunxue didn't even acknowledge that she had accepted the betrothal gift, which made her even more furious.
She spoke in a sarcastic tone, "Mom, let me be fair. You're usually stingy and want to keep all the family money in your own hands. We, your daughter-in-law, can understand that. After all, you're the head of this family. But after you took the money, how can you lie with your eyes open and say you didn't take it?"
