The man was not of good temper. He looked at the old woman on the ground and started to curse:
"Who is so blind? You old woman, don't you watch your step? I'm in a good mood today, otherwise you'd be in trouble."
As the man spoke, he glanced at Old Lady Xia lying on the ground, then patted his clothes with a look of disgust.
At this time, the person next to him said in a flattering manner: "Brother Tian, why don't you follow the old woman's example?"
After he finished speaking, he turned to the people on the ground and said:
"You're lucky to have run into my brother Tian today. If you were to act this way against someone else, I'd break your legs sooner or later."
"It just so happens that our brother Tian is in a good mood today, so he's merciful and lets you go. Don't be ungrateful."
The man called Brother Tian was very happy to be complimented by the man behind him, so he smiled and said:
"Forget it. Talking to people like them is cheap. Your brother Tian is rich now. There's no need to get angry with these people."
"That's because my brother Tian is really amazing. He got so much money in one go. Now you don't have to worry about finding a wife. Now that you have money, every family will rush to find you."
Brother Tian patted the people around him and said, "Okay, let's go, I'll treat you to dinner."
Old Lady Xia didn't dare to say anything when she saw the two of them like that, but since they didn't want to leave, she didn't dare to leave either, so she just listened there.
She listened to what the two men said, lowered her head and silently calculated in her mind. She was not stupid, and from their words she knew that this man was rich but had no wife, so she had a good idea.
Isn't this an opportunity for their family? She was originally worried about how to make money. The little money they had was not enough, and now the opportunity has come.
He also looked up at the person in front of him and thought to himself that he might be ugly, but he was rich. Besides, what's the use of being good-looking? It can't be used to make a living.
Yes, this person was the one Xia Jin asked his people to find. He was originally a sloppy drunkard.
When he had money, he would gamble. When he won, he would spend the money on drinking. When he didn’t win, he would go back to that dilapidated temple-like house and sleep.
He didn't know what was going on these days, but he kept winning money. He thought that his luck had come, so he gambled bigger and bigger each time, and earned more and more each time.
He became arrogant when he had money, and he also had money to buy some nice clothes to dress himself up. He planned to use the money to marry himself a wife first.
In this way, even if he is out of money in the future, he will still have a wife to serve him and he won’t have to work all day.
"Young man, wait a minute, don't leave yet, I have something to tell you."
Old Lady Xia quickly got up from the ground and called out to the two people who were about to leave.
Hearing his voice, the flattering man lowered his head and smiled. He knew that his mission was accomplished and the man had taken the bait.
Old Lady Xia hurried over to them and said to Brother Tian, "Young man, I see you look very handsome. I just heard that you are not married yet, right?"
"I have a granddaughter at home, she's 18 years old, pretty, and a high school student. Why don't you two give it a try?"
"I feel like the fact that you bumped into me just now is fate between us. The first time I saw you, I felt that you were a promising person, and I felt at ease handing my granddaughter over to you."
After hearing what he said, the listening brother's eyes lit up instantly. Although he is rich now, he is also very famous in their area.
But being famous is not a good thing. A notorious person can't find a partner at all. Even if he goes to the matchmaker's house, the matchmaker won't let him in.
So even though he really wanted to find a partner, he couldn't find one at all. The person next to him also said that the only way was to spend a lot of money to buy one.
Although he has no future and no money, he also likes good-looking people. He was even happier when he heard the old man say that his granddaughter was still a high school student.
This was something he had never dared to imagine before. He knew that people like him would look down on him before, but now that he had come, of course he had to catch him.
So what if he's a high school student? He still has to be obedient, do his laundry, cook for him, and give birth to his children. He gets excited just thinking about it.
He also didn't want to clean up his house before winning, and then use the remaining money to prepare to have another wife, and then everything would be fine.
"Okay, are you good-looking? If you're not, I don't want you. I tell you, as long as you meet my standards, you can get paid."
"I lack everything except money. If I really fall in love with your granddaughter, your family will enjoy a good life."
"Yes, let me tell you, our eldest brother is very powerful and very rich. As long as you satisfy him, you will get a lot of money."
When my concubine heard them say this, she smiled brightly when she thought of the betrothal gift she was about to receive.
Looking at him kindly, she said, "Okay, okay, I knew I wasn't wrong about you. Let's wait for you to meet tomorrow."
The two of them agreed on a meeting time and place, and after they separated, Old Lady Xia kept talking.
She wanted to go home quickly and tell her old man the good news that such a good thing had happened to her.
She had no regard for her granddaughter's wishes at all. In her mind, such important matters as marriage were decided by the elders. As long as she accepted the money, she had no say in whether she could marry or not.
Besides, they have raised her for so many years, and now their family is in big trouble and needs money. Shouldn't she do something for the family?
And he was doing it for his own good. He could tell at a glance that this man was very rich. When he got to his house, he wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing. What was there to be sad about?
With her reputation, she should be grateful to herself. If it weren't for herself, how could she find such a good partner?
He went home and told his old man about it, and got his old man's support. He had long wanted to find someone to marry her off.
Although she always used that big shot to tease him, after so long and with such a big thing happening in their family, he no longer had any hope for the big shot she mentioned.
If she really liked him, how could she not show up? I don't like her at first sight.
So it would be better to marry her off as soon as possible, and get a large amount of betrothal gifts in return. Then she won't have to take the college entrance examination, and she won't have to go out of the province, where they won't be able to find her even if they want to.
Old Lady Xia also knew that her granddaughter was difficult to deal with, so they decided to meet in this ward.
None of them told Xia Qingqing that as long as this person nodded, they would take her over even if they had to tie her up.
