Su Nanxi really wanted to know; she was just curious!
She hadn't contacted Chen San since, so she didn't know how well he had handled things.
Those two pregnant couples have been taken care of, but the Guo family, who are the main characters in the wedding, seem to have never heard anything about it. If she hadn't come to the wedding banquet today, she probably wouldn't have noticed something was wrong so quickly!
It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality
Especially for people like Guo Jiumei, it's really too difficult!
She believed Zhao Jinhua's nonsense about marrying into a rich family, and dared to have such delusions. This shows how vain and materialistic she is. She must have been fantasizing about wearing beautiful clothes and showing off in the village all the time!
Finally, someone took the bait, and they got some money. After waiting for a while, and probably after testing the waters for a while, seeing that Chen San didn't seem to be pursuing the matter anymore, they thought the matter was over and started spending the money boldly!
Money can sometimes make people lose themselves, lose sight of their original aspirations, and even turn them into a completely different person!
Guo Jiumei had long wanted to be rich and wanted to dress like a rich young lady, hoping to receive more envious and admiring glances. Once she had money, she couldn't suppress her restless heart!
I finally got to wear the clothes and shoes I wanted and showed them off in the village. I did get a lot of envious looks, and I finally felt extremely satisfied!
After the incident of being chased by bees, Guo Jiumei probably showed off for a while, but she didn't dare to show off in front of Su Nanxi anymore. In addition, Su Nanxi was very busy and didn't pay much attention to Guo Jiumei, so what happened afterward is really unclear.
However, in the same village, there are almost no secrets about what happens in each family.
It's something the neighbors can see, and they'll bring it up when they're bragging. One person tells it, and several people listen, so soon many people know about it.
Sure enough, as soon as Su Nanxi showed a little curiosity about Guo Jiu Mei, someone immediately understood and started talking about the Guo family. Su Nanxi didn't even need to ask!
Most people in the village wanted to maintain a good relationship with the Mo family, so they were all willing to tell everyone they knew.
Through the chatter of the group, Su Nanxi pieced together the general outline of what had happened.
The Guo family had indeed made a small fortune sometime before, and no matter how they tried to get information out of them, they couldn't find out how it came about. The Guo family members were very shrewd; they would either gloss over it or directly change the subject, but they would never reveal how they made their fortune!
There's a saying that you shouldn't show off your abilities, but that doesn't seem to apply to the Guo family. Given how poor they've been, they're always thinking about how to turn their lives around. If they had the chance, they definitely wouldn't hide it; they'd love to show off their skills everywhere!
The Guo family is acting a bit strangely in this respect. In the past, if they had anything, they would love to show it off to the fullest extent by climbing over other people's walls!
Su Nanxi knew perfectly well why the Guo family dared not speak out: that windfall was not earned through their own hard work, but rather through deception!
How could I dare say that? If word got out, it would be terrible. I wouldn't even get to brag about myself; I might even get sued!
As Su Nanxi had guessed, the Guo family mother and daughter really did wear new clothes and shoes every day, and their hair was covered with hairpins, making them look like hedgehogs. They wanted to wear everything they could to make themselves stand out!
This greatly satisfied their vanity and love of beauty, and gave them unrealistic fantasies, making them dream of living the life of real rich people!
Relying on the good reputation of Changna Village, they began a new wave of planning!
Guo Jiu Mei is not a celestial beauty, and her family background is quite ordinary, but her vision is exceptionally high, and the conditions she sets are beyond what ordinary farmers can meet!
It's quite obvious that she's looking for someone who's good in every way, and most importantly, someone with a good family background who can fulfill her dream of being a rich housewife!
That's right, the Guo family has started making arrangements for Guo Jiu Mei's marriage.
The matchmakers weren't really keen on getting involved, because they were simply too busy, and also because, in their minds, the Guo family was too poor; they wouldn't earn much money even if they successfully matched couples. So they were all thinking of just going through the motions.
However, after seeing the Guo family's attire and hearing their promise of benefits after the deal was done, they changed their minds and accepted the offer even though they didn't have time!
It seems the rumors are true; the Guo family really is rich now. That makes things much easier—money makes everything easier!
The matchmaker tried her best, running herself ragged for that big pancake, just to find Guo Jiu Mei a suitable partner!
It's a pity that Guo Jiu Mei had a few good days and started to think she was a rich young lady. She began to be picky like everyone else, finding fault with this and that, and nothing seemed right!
The matchmaker's face turned black. Even beauty pageants don't do this!
She's introduced so many men to her, at least dozens, if not a hundred. She's introduced all the eligible men from the nearby villages. Surely she shouldn't have found a single good one?
For that little bit of matchmaker's money, they work themselves to the bone, only to be criticized for not being conscientious enough!
I'm so angry!
On the surface, the Guo family has become wealthy, and everyone is dressed smartly. But that's all. Their house has never been renovated and remains the same. They eat the same food as ordinary farmers. Besides, the Guo family's daughter is not particularly good-looking, and there is no income for the family. To put it bluntly, it's all just for show, without any substance!
Given these conditions, if you don't want to marry a farmer of similar social standing, do you really want to marry a wealthy family in town?
That's wishful thinking!
How desperate must they be for women to come all the way to this mountain village to find a wife!
Wealthy families value helping others. What ability does the Guo family have to help others? They have no talent, no ability, and no background!
Wanting to marry into a rich family, that's really audacious of her!
Is he out of his mind? He wants his wife's help but not hers, yet he wants endless poverty alleviation!
Finally, the matchmaker got angry. Knowing that the pancake wasn't good, she simply gave up on it, ignoring all the other easy matchmaking opportunities and wasting her time on this one!
They're really just playing with her!
These things spread very quickly, especially through matchmakers; they really spread like wildfire!
Matchmakers can exaggerate to the heavens, but if you anger them, they can beat you to a pulp!
Guo Jiumei didn't think she had done anything wrong. She just wanted to find a rich family, what was wrong with that? Zhao Jinhua was able to marry someone, wasn't she? Zhao Jinhua was able to enjoy life, so why couldn't she? She believed she was better than Zhao Jinhua in every way!
Guo Jiu Mei was naturally unwilling to accept this. The villagers didn't know how she had managed to hook up with a rich young man. They didn't know if he was really rich, but judging from his appearance, he wasn't from a farming family, and the fabric of his clothes was obviously not ordinary!
The villagers didn't say anything; they believed he earned his living through his own abilities, and there was no point in envying him!
I thought good things were about to happen, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse not long after!
"I heard they've offended someone!"
