He was already fifty years old, and his wife was quite fierce. Walking in felt like stepping into a grave.
Yu Chunmiao supported Qi Chong and sneered at Zhou Min, "Even if I agree to this, and Qi Chong agrees too, your parents would never accept it. Our family is barely scraping by; how could we afford to buy you?"
Moreover, you talk about Liu Dahu's wife being fierce, but I think you're even worse.
Don't think I didn't notice earlier; you were chatting nicely with Qi Chong. Why did you suddenly hug him? Was it because I arrived?
You keep saying you want to seek my help, yet you went to find my mother-in-law, clearly hoping she'd soften up.
I see through you; you're quite scheming. If you marry into the Liu family, who knows what might happen? That so-called fierce wife of theirs might not even stand a chance against you.
Her words left Qi Chong stunned, realizing that Zhou Min had deliberately come to embrace him.
Zhou Min continued to play the victim, "His wife has already killed three children; how could I possibly have the energy to scheme against her?"
Yu Chunmiao scoffed, "You even found out how many people have died in their family. It seems like you really want to marry in."
I don’t understand why you chose Qi Chong as your target. Our family can’t afford you; just leave.
Zhou Min felt exposed, her heart racing with guilt. She knew that for the past month, carts had been traveling back and forth between the county and the Qi family.
People said they didn’t know what was going on but mentioned a fragrant herb smell wafting from there. It was also said that Xian Ke Lai Tea House had been thriving lately because of something called Xian Cao Mi. After hearing this, she speculated that the Qi family had become wealthy, which was why she came to test the waters.
Earlier in the kitchen, she caught a glimpse of two large pots simmering with the herb. If it weren’t for selling it, who would cook such large quantities? Moreover, five baskets of dried herbs were laid out in the yard; it seemed they were cooking every day.
Fine, I guess I’m just unlucky. Zhou Min truly hadn’t expected this so-called fool to be so clever, leaving her cornered.
Wiping her tears, she turned to leave but found herself heading toward the stone mill instead.
Yu Chunmiao quickly stepped in front of her and gestured towards the courtyard gate as if inviting her to leave.
Zhou Min shot Yu Chunmiao an angry glance before walking away.
After closing the courtyard door, Yu Chunmiao picked up Qi Chong’s crutch and handed it to him. "You can’t throw away your crutch next time; if your leg breaks again, life will be unbearable."
Qi Chong accepted the crutch with an apologetic look in his eyes. "Yu Chunmiao, please don’t be angry. There’s really nothing between me and her. It was a marriage agreement made by my parents."
Yu Chunmiao crossed her arms and shot him a cold glare. "What do you mean 'nothing'? Your parents agreed, but didn’t you also agree? You never rejected it either!"
She finished speaking and went to open the door, entering the kitchen, leaving Qi Chong with an angry back.
Qi Chong leaned on his crutch and hurried to catch up, explaining, "It's not that I didn't know I would meet you later. When she broke off the engagement, I wasn't sad at all; in fact, I was quite happy. Yu Chunmiao, please don't be angry."
Chen Ruolan seemed to understand and pulled Yu Chunmiao aside to help explain, "At that time, Qi Chong was still young, and his family was doing well. The matchmaker was practically breaking down the door to get him married. It was my moment of confusion that made me believe the matchmaker's words, saying Zhou Min was perfect in every way before I agreed."
"Qi Chong is a good child; he didn't want this either and never went against us, which is how things ended up like this."
Yu Chunmiao's anger had already dissipated by more than half; she was just teasing Qi Chong. Seeing her mother-in-law's worried expression, she decided to continue playing with Qi Chong and said, "Mother, you have no idea how tightly they were holding each other just now. They say Qi Chong is strong; he couldn't even pry open the hand of a weak girl. I could tell he was quite pleased with himself."
