Chapter 382: Chapter 380: Matchmaker Visits (Second Update)
Lu Yuanfeng’s home.
Lu Xiao sat boldly in the center of the main room of Lu Yuanfeng’s house, even Old Lady Lu was only seated to the side.
Matchmaker Sun was introducing good girls from the village and nearby villages in front of Lu Yuanfeng.
"I say, Yuanfeng, I’ve said so much as Granny Sun, you should at least give me a response."
Matchmaker Sun shook the straw fan in her hand. This fan was a gift from her relatives, supposedly from the town, it was quite cooling.
Yuanbao angrily said from the side, "My second brother doesn’t need matchmaking, you should leave."
In Yuanbao’s heart, the choice for his second sister-in-law was Sister Shuangshuang; he wouldn’t agree to anyone else.
"Yuanbao, the adults are talking, why are you interrupting? Get to the side." Lu Xiao said angrily.
"No, my second brother doesn’t like those people, he won’t marry them."
Lu Xiao slammed the table with his hand and stood up, ready to move.
Lu Yuanfeng stepped forward to protect Yuanbao.
"Enough, I’ve given you time, if you’re finished talking, you can leave."
"When I came back, I said, I don’t need you to manage my affairs." Lu Yuanfeng said coldly to Lu Xiao.
"You don’t want me to manage? Ha, you speak so nicely, but don’t forget, you’re my son, I’m your father, you have to take care of me this lifetime. If I’m not dead, you won’t have a good life." Lu Xiao shamelessly said.
As expected, Lu Yuanfeng’s expression changed again.
If the person before him weren’t his father.
If years ago, his mother hadn’t told him to make sure to remember his father even if he made something of himself, Lu Xiao would’ve been kicked out long ago.
He envied Shuangshuang, envied her carefree nature that others didn’t possess. She wouldn’t submit to anyone, and she wouldn’t back down just because it’s her family bullying her.
But he couldn’t do it.
He could avoid interacting with Lu Xiao but couldn’t like Shuangshuang, take physical action to teach a lesson.
Gu Jiulian watched the spectacle from the side; she had brought the matchmaker and Lu Xiao, since the brat gave her nothing, she wouldn’t let the brat have a good time.
Everything he disliked, Gu Jiulian wanted to do once.
Lu Yuanfeng couldn’t touch Lu Xiao, so he simply got up to chase Matchmaker Sun away.
"You... leave my house immediately, I don’t need your matchmaking, get out of our house."
At this point, Old Lady Lu and Old Sir Lu arrived too. Unlike before, this time, they stood on Lu Xiao’s side.
"Fengzi, by next year you’ll be eighteen, boys around your age in the village have already married. Your mother isn’t here, as an elder, I must help you find a wife." Old Lady Lu attempted to persuade Lu Yuanfeng.
"Grandma, if that’s what you want to discuss, then I won’t join in, there’s still a lot of unfinished business at home."
Lu Yuanfeng finished speaking and actually left the main room, went to his room to pick up a pile of clothes, and then went to the kitchen to fetch water to wash clothes.
Everyone didn’t expect the situation to be like this, for a moment, they were all stunned.
Matchmaker Sun reacted and waved her straw fan at the Old Lu Family.
"What’s wrong with your Old Lu Family, you asked me to come for matchmaking, and Feng’s attitude is like this? I won’t do matchmaking for anyone in your Old Lu Family anymore."
"Come on, big sister, you can’t say that." Old Lady Lu panicked, there were quite a few suitable children in the family, offending Matchmaker Sun would be a problem.
"Why can’t I say it? You all saw it, all afternoon, I spoke alone, and he didn’t say a single word." Matchmaker Sun pointed angrily at Lu Yuanfeng.
"Fengzi is still just a child, you can’t really compare him with a child, right? How about having dinner at my house tonight?" Old Lady Lu sincerely offered.
"I won’t go. Regardless, my words are here, I won’t do matchmaking for your Old Lu Family anymore."
Matchmaker Sun had wide connections and knew many people, so Old Lady Lu was anxious.
"Big sister, tell us what it would take for you not to hold a grudge over this, whatever you say is fine."
"Really?" Seeing that she could say whatever, Matchmaker Sun’s expression softened a little.
"Of course, whatever you say is what it will be." Old Lady Lu nodded.
"Alright then, I’ve spent the afternoon here and achieved nothing. The matchmaker’s fee is gone, so give me a hen and we’re done."
"What? A hen?" Gu Jiulian was startled; she had only invited Matchmaker Sun to provoke Lu Yuanfeng, she didn’t expect Matchmaker Sun to ask for something.
"What’s wrong, Jiulian, you don’t want to? Don’t forget that your daughter’s and son’s marriage prospects will depend on me moving forward." Matchmaker Sun coldly glanced at Gu Jiulian.
Today she suffered the loss, which was entirely a result of Gu Jiulian’s actions.
"You..." Gu Jiulian suffered silently, almost fainting from anger.
Old Lady Lu hesitated for a moment, just about to agree, by then Lu Yuanfeng, who was previously washing clothes, came back in for some reason. He dragged Matchmaker Sun out, threw her out of the yard in a few moves.
"You, Lu Yuanfeng, actually dare... you actually dare..." Matchmaker Sun was furious, starting to swear.
"You vile person, smoke with your wickedness, you’ll never marry anyone, your lineage will end!" Matchmaker Sun cursed as she left, as Yuanbao picked up a stone and threw it at Matchmaker Sun’s head, causing her pain. She was about to rush in but was blocked by Lu Yuanfeng.
"If you step in one more step, I won’t be polite."
Lu Yuanfeng was sturdy, having been to the military camp; his casual show of momentum was enough to overwhelm most people. Feeling angry, Matchmaker Sun left, swearing at the Old Lu Family as she walked away.
Lu Yuanfeng glanced at those still present and went back to washing clothes.
Lu Xiao took the opportunity during Matchmaker Sun’s trouble to look around the main room to find something valuable to take when no one was looking.
But the main room was only so big, everything was clear at a glance.
He thought for a bit, decided to check out Lu Yuanfeng’s room.
Lu Xiao knew his son surely had money, always out hunting and bringing back prey, even now, a few rabbits were kept in the backyard. Those creatures didn’t interest him, he wanted money.
He slipped into his son’s room, searched around, even flipped the mattress, but found nothing.
"Impossible, how is there nothing?"
"What are you looking for?" A cold male voice came from the doorway, Lu Yuanfeng’s body blocked most of the door.
Lu Xiao looked up at Lu Yuanfeng, startled, but immediately began speaking with a smile, "Nothing, nothing... I saw your room was messy, wanted to tidy it up for you."
