Chapter 512: Chapter 513: Sisters Fight for a Groom
Ms. Liu was so infuriated by Yang Dongzhi. She yelled, "It’s your sister’s marriage we’re talking about!"
"But now the Qian Family elder brother wants to propose to me!" Yang Dongzhi retorted, "When he proposed to my sister, you agreed. So why do you disapprove when it’s me he wants to propose to? Are you my mother or not?!"
"These are two different things!"
"How could they be different? It’s just a proposal, so it’s just a change of person!" Yang Dongzhi dismissed the statement.
But inside she scoffed, why does everyone else get to have good marriages while I shouldn’t? Why should I endure such disgusting treatment?
"Exactly, your eldest daughter is not attractive at all." Boy Qian agreed, "You have a pretty younger daughter and yet she wasn’t offered. Instead, I was introduced to the ugly one. It’s sheer ridiculousness."
Ms. Liu nearly erupted in laughter, "You brat! Don’t forget – you came to propose to my daughter, Ruoqiu, not Dongzhi."
Boy Qian was indifferent, "So what? Can’t I change my mind?"
Boy Qian’s mother also chimed in, "Exactly, in-laws, all these girls are your daughters, what difference does it make which one we pick? You should be grateful to still become in-laws with our family."
Extraordinary! As if Yang Da’an and Ms. Liu were the ones desperately pursuing a matrimonial alliance with his family. It appeared that they would agree to any condition the Qian Family set just to finalize the marriage.
"This is truly absurd!" Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia immediately retorted, "Just because they’re both daughters of the same family, you think you can just pick whichever one you want? Who the hell do you think you are? Just because you’re a farmer, you think you’re so grand. I don’t get it. You spoil your son so much, he does whatever he wants? What if one day, he fancies your daughter-in-law? Would you then tell her, ’it’s alright, they’re both my sons, either is fine?’"
The outright cheeky and disrespectful words infuriated Boy Qian’s mother. The wife of the elder brother who came with Boy Qian was also unhappy. What did this have to do with her? Why was she brought into this?
However, the Land Officer’s wife, who was invited by Yang Da’an, found it amusing. She thought to herself, Xiaxia sure knows how to give it back.
"You ill-bred girl, when is it your turn to speak in a gathering of adults?" Boy Qian’s mother furiously retorted.
On hearing these words, Ms. Wang slammed her hand on the table and glared at Boy Qian’s mother. "Shut up, you old hag! Who are you to yell at my daughter! Do you think matchmaking is a joke? You think this is picking out vegetables? If you don’t like one, just switch for another?"
Yang Chuxia, standing behind Ms. Wang, admired her mother’s words and the intensity of her slap on the table.
Boy Qian’s mother was left reeling from the incessant counterarguments of the mother-daughter duo. Her chest heaved with indignation as if she was on the verge of having a heart attack.
Surprisingly, her son seemed to think her meltdown wasn’t fast enough. Upon seeing Yang Chuxia’s charming face, his eyes sparkled. Releasing Yang Dongzhi’s hand, he turned to his mother and said, "Mother, don’t be angry. I don’t want her anymore. Instead, I want her!" He pointed towards Yang Chuxia.
On hearing this, Yang Chuxia’s mouth was agape, thinking to herself, ’Holy shit, what a weirdo?’
