"Oh, you silly child, why did you run off? Yulin, what do you think? Our two families are quite well-matched..."
Seeing that they couldn't convince their kindred spirits, some people immediately looked at Yao Yulin with bright, expectant eyes.
Yao Yulin was immediately embarrassed, but before she could speak, Aunt Xu, who had walked over from the other side and overheard the conversation, immediately mocked her bluntly, "Oh dear, Sister-in-law Li, I'm not trying to be mean, but your son is 35 years old and has never been married, and he even has a limp. How can you even bring it up?"
…
"Oh my god, that scared me to death!!"
It wasn't until they had run quite a distance that Zhiyin couldn't help but wipe the sweat from her forehead and shake her head in disgust.
"Hopefully, no ungrateful person will come knocking on our door to propose marriage..."
This scene was something Zhiyin had anticipated, since the villagers were keen on finding husbands for unmarried women, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Most importantly, she knew that many people liked her for ulterior motives, because they saw that she could make money and were after her family's wealth. She wouldn't fall for that.
The thought that these aunties' supposedly handsome and dashing sons and nephews are actually not good-looking and have no future makes me realize how ridiculous it is.
Zhiyin couldn't help but twitch her lips.
Although it's not that she looks down on people because she's a kindred spirit, to be honest, she's a sucker for good looks.
And her body is only 15 years old! Her body hasn't even fully developed yet.
Although people married young in ancient times, she still felt it was somewhat outrageous...
…
In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon.
More than a dozen or so ornately decorated carriages came toward Zhiyin's house.
"Sigh, these people must be from other villages. They all look rich and powerful. Why would they come to our little mountain village?"
"Yeah, it seems like the girl who moved out of the Zhi family moved to a new house today. Could she be going to live with them?"
"Impossible, right? How could their family possibly have that kind of ability and connections?"
…
The villagers on the road were all very curious, because it was rare for horse-drawn carriages to come to Xinghe Village.
The sudden arrival of so many carriages, each exquisitely decorated, startled them.
"Hey fellow villager, can I ask you something?"
Just as everyone was discussing and speculating, the carriage at the front suddenly stopped.
A beautiful and alluring woman leaned out of the carriage and looked at her aunt, who was busy in the field nearby.
Who is it?
My aunt was already suffering from back pain from all the work and was incredibly annoyed. But when she turned around, she saw a graceful, beautiful, and alluring woman, and she immediately gritted her teeth in anger!
His tone was full of impatience and malice.
However, when he saw the carriage the beautiful woman was riding in and the decorations inside, his eyes lit up instantly, as if he had learned to change faces, his eyes filled with flattery.
"Oh dear, who is this young lady looking for? I'll do anything to help if there's anything I can do for you."
She patted her chest loudly, her eyes darting around furtively, looking shifty and sneaky.
The beautiful woman chuckled softly, "Excuse me, where does the shopkeeper of Zhiyin live?"
Upon hearing this, the aunt's initially cheerful expression instantly darkened, and she waved her hand impatiently, "I don't know, I don't know..."
After saying that, he turned around and continued digging, cursing and swearing, feeling even more heartbroken.
The woman frowned instantly.
Scarface, inside the carriage, was extremely displeased, glaring fiercely at his aunt, "Ugh, you're so rude..."
After saying that, he gently massaged the woman's shoulders and comforted her, "Wife, let's not stoop to the level of an impolite countrywoman..."
These two were none other than the manager and his wife of the gambling den.
Just as the two were staring at the fork in the road, unsure of which way to go, they suddenly heard excited voices from other people nearby.
"Oh, so you're looking for a soulmate, aren't you? Come on, come on... come on, come on..."
