Chapter 74 That Toad Dared to Refuse! Xiao Ying Enters the Third Level of Qi Refining
Matchmaker Zhang left in disappointment, feeling that this family had problems with their brains and she never wanted to come again.
However, one should be grateful for what one has received, and be soft-hearted when receiving something. When leaving, Xiao Ying gave her a pound of brown sugar, so she didn't want to say anything behind his back.
The Dong family had been waiting for news from her. When they heard that Xiao Ying had refused, the whole family looked very unhappy.
"That toad actually dared to refuse! Dad, Mom, I told you not to let the matchmaker find him. Now he's so embarrassed!"
Dong Hongying was so angry that she burst into tears, feeling extremely humiliated.
She was determined to marry a city man and looked down on Chen Xinghai. As a result, her parents went crazy and insisted on finding a matchmaker to arrange the marriage.
She had already thought about how to show the other party her dignity when the time came.
She never expected that the other party would refuse, and she was the one who was humiliated.
"Humph, he's so shameless! How is my Hongying not worthy of him?"
Chen Xue was also furious. If she hadn't heard that Chen Xinghai's foot had healed and Xiao Ying's family was still building a big house, she would have looked down on him.
When Chen Zhang came to ask about it, she scolded and humiliated her.
In her opinion, this initiative was already a condescension, and the other party should accept it with joy.
"Mrs. Xiao said Chen Xinghai wants to find someone who has studied. Don't be angry. There are only a few educated women in the village."
Matchmaker Zhang gave some advice.
Although she felt that Xiao Ying's family had some mental problems, other than that they were pretty good. That pound of brown sugar was worth dozens of coins.
In contrast, the Dong family only paid her ten cents for asking her to be a matchmaker, and the whole family was arrogant and difficult to approach.
If she had a son, he would look down on such a family.
"Looking for someone who's educated? Didn't Chen Xinghai also have no education? He actually despises my Hongying."
Chen Xue became more and more angry and scolded Xiao Ying and Chen Xinghai.
Matchmaker Zhang said, "Who says Chen Xinghai hasn't studied? He just hasn't been to school. He learned a lot from studying under Scholar Chen. Recently, his younger brother Chen Xinghe has also been teaching him."
"So what? I can't pass the imperial examination."
Chen Xue rolled her eyes. At best, she only knew a few words.
"Anyway, they just don't want to. How about I show you some other families?"
Matchmaker Zhang was too lazy to bother with it anymore. She couldn't possibly tell Xiao Ying about those strange and crazy things she had said.
Dong Dayong immediately sneered: "They look down on us, but I look down on them too. Even if they built a courtyard house, they are still just villagers. How can they compare to those in the city?"
Then he smiled warmly: "Then I'd like to ask Matchmaker Zhang to help us find more young men in the city. My Hongying has both good looks and skills. She should go to the city to enjoy a good life."
"Young Master from the city?"
Matchmaker Zhang frowned, having heard that this family was really overambitious.
Although Dong Hongying looks good, she is not particularly pretty. It may not be easy for her to marry a city man.
"I do know some people in the county, but if they were to go to their homes to act as matchmakers, the price wouldn't be this high."
Dong Dayong gave a look, and Chen Xue could only reluctantly take out another ten cents. This time, Matchmaker Zhang didn't even take it.
"Let me be frank. If you want me to go to the county town to be a matchmaker, it will cost at least fifty cents."
Matchmaker Zhang had never seen anyone so stingy. She wanted to find a good family for her daughter, but she was reluctant to spend even the money for matchmaking.
"Fifty cents?"
Chen Xue glared and was about to say something unpleasant, but was stopped in time by Dong Dayong.
"Fifty cents is fifty cents. Hurry up and give it to Matchmaker Zhang."
Chen Xue gritted her teeth and reluctantly went to get another forty cents.
…
Let’s not talk about what’s happening with the Dong family.
After Matchmaker Zhang left, Xiao Ying asked the four children to sit down.
"What do you all think?"
The four of them heard what had just been said, and she wanted to know what they thought.
Chen Xinghai was the first to speak: "I will listen to my mother."
The other three nodded in agreement: "Us too."
My mother is so powerful, what she said must make sense.
Xiao Ying said, "After all, what I said is just my own advice. You don't have to follow it completely. No matter what you encounter, you should think more and have your own ideas."
The four of them looked at each other, and this time Chen Xinghe spoke first.
"Anyway, I don't want to get married too early. I want to study more and take the imperial examination."
"Ambitious." Xiao Ying nodded. Chen Xinghe was indeed the most thoughtful and decisive one among the few people.
"Mom, I just want to practice with you and become more powerful."
Next is Chen Xingyue. She is still young and has not thought about getting married yet.
How wonderful it would be if she could become more powerful through cultivation! No one would dare to bully her anymore.
"As long as you are willing, mother will support you." Xiao Ying said approvingly.
Then came Chen Xingyun: "Mom, can I follow you in business? I think I'm pretty good at math, maybe I can be a bookkeeper."
Xiao Ying nodded: "Of course, but you can't just be an accountant. You can also buy your own shop and do business in the future."
Chen Xingyun showed a look of joy, as she had actually had this kind of dream in private.
"Xinghai, what about you?" Xiao Ying looked at Chen Xinghai again.
Chen Xinghai was silent for a moment before he said, "I don't seem to be good at anything, nor do I particularly like anything. Mom, am I really useless?"
Xiao Ying stared at him carefully. She knew that Chen Xinghai had always been very inferior and sensitive.
Although his life is better now and his foot has healed, this kind of personality cannot be completely changed in a day or two.
In addition, I haven't found any of his strengths or interests, so it's not surprising that he has such thoughts.
"Everyone is born with talents that will be useful. No one is born useless. It's just that you haven't discovered it yet."
She shook her head and suddenly smiled.
"You may not realize it yourself, but you are actually the most calm among your siblings. With this kind of personality, you will be good at anything."
Chen Xinghai's eyes lit up slightly. Is he really calm?
But what good was that? He couldn't seem to help the family at all.
"Don't be impatient, take your time. You still have a long life ahead of you, and one day you will know what you really want."
"Um."
Chen Xinghai clenched his fists and felt a little better.
For the next few days, life went on as usual.
Xiao Ying asked Chen Xinghai to go to the town and buy another fifty jars. In two or three days, the first batch of spicy sauce would be fully mature.
In the evening, Chen Xinghe still taught his brothers and sisters to read and write.
He taught very seriously and looked like a teacher. Xiao Ying admitted that he had more teaching talent than her.
She found that the other party had behaved quite well during this period and really treated this home as his home and them as family.
Perhaps, it's time to find a time to redeem him.
After finishing study every night, everyone still takes a bath in the spiritual spring water.
That very night, after Xiao Ying circulated several cycles, he successfully entered the third level of Qi Refining!
This time, it took more than twenty days to go from the second level of Qi Refining to the third level. It doesn't sound like a lot, but you have to know that the speed of time in the Immortal Palace is twice as fast as outside.
Moreover, she always practiced all night long and never slacked off.
For an ordinary person, it might not be possible even after three to five months.
"call……"
She let out a long breath of the foul air in her chest, and felt that her spiritual power had become much more abundant.
With such strength, in this world, he is at least equivalent to a martial arts master, right?
The corners of his lips rose slightly, and at least it gave him a sense of security.
