They've all separated, so what does it matter to me if they get poorer and poorer?

Chapter 292 Han Fengshi

The villagers ate so much melon that they were stuffed.

Uncle Liang was both in pain and cursing, Zhang cried and wailed, and Liang Cuier also cried, closing the door in her room and crying alone.

Why is she so unlucky!

She hated her father; if he hadn't caused trouble, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

When Han Song returned home looking dejected, his mother and Madam Han were dumbfounded.

Han's mother stamped her feet and pounded her chest: "How could you be so careless? What a mess this is! What are we going to do?"

Startled, Madam Han quickly calmed down. "Mother, we can't just blame Song Lian. It takes two to tango. Besides, he's a young man. How could he have imagined that someone would see it, especially not Cui'er's father? If it were an outsider, there would be nothing to say. She can't even handle her own father, and now she's made such a mess of things. What's there to say?"

“Cui’er’s father is just as foolish. What good will it do for his daughter to make a scene like this? Will it bring honor to their family? Everyone else is making a fuss, but he’s the one who’s starting it!”

"Even if someone is to blame, it's not us. Our family is more than enough to take responsibility for Cui'er."

It's strange. Although Madam Han had initially intended to use her, she genuinely liked Liang Cuier, appreciating her simple and honest nature and the Liang family's capabilities. But now that it was a foregone conclusion that Liang Cuier would marry into the Han family, Madam Han subconsciously felt a sense of aversion and apprehension towards her.

What she said was really harsh.

Both Han's mother and Han Songlian couldn't help but frown.

Han Songlian: "Sister-in-law, that's not how it works. At that time, Cui'er was terrified. No wonder Uncle Liang was angry."

"Yes, yes, I was too talkative," Madam Han said with a half-smile, her tone tinged with sarcasm. "I shouldn't have said that about her. She hasn't even entered the house yet, and my second brother is already protecting her. It seems he really likes her."

Han Songlian panicked: "I... I didn't mean anything by it, sister-in-law, please don't misunderstand!"

Madam Han smiled gently and sighed, "I didn't mean any harm, and you shouldn't either. Actually, I like her very much too. Now that we're family, I'll like her even more!"

Han Song opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Mother Han scolded, "What time is it? Stop talking nonsense and think of a solution. What should we do now? Things have already come to this point, we can't just do nothing, or people will call us cowards. Madam Feng, go find a matchmaker and go to the Liang family to propose marriage."

"We've wronged Cui'er in this matter, so we need to be more humble. I... I still have three taels of silver, take it all!"

Han's mother gritted her teeth; there was no other way.

Madam Han felt a chill run down her spine, a secret resentment rising within her. Her mother-in-law had actually saved three taels of silver—she'd kept it a secret all along. Now, she was willing to spend it all for Liang Cuier.

Then she thought about how her husband was gone, and how once Liang Cuier married into the family, she would have her own family to support her, and she was afraid that she would be squeezed into a corner even more.

"Go quickly, go with the matchmaker."

"it is good"

Unable to refuse, Madam Han had no choice but to go.

When she and the matchmaker arrived at the Liang family home, they hadn't even exchanged two words before Zhang's mother and daughter-in-law started cursing and kicking them out. She tried to say something, but almost got beaten up.

Han Fengshi was startled and quickly ran away.

She never imagined that Liang Cuier, such a gentle and easily deceived girl, would have such a shrewish, domineering, and unreasonable mother.

Zhang was so angry that she spat out "Pah!"

"This is outrageous! This is absolutely outrageous!"

She should take a piss and look at herself in the mirror to see what kind of person she is. She's not worthy of the Liang family. That dog of a man dares to seduce her daughter.

After things have escalated to this point, how dare you even show your face at their door?
It's one thing to come to someone's door, but to make matters worse, they come empty-handed, carrying only their mouth?

There's absolutely no sincerity involved.

Is this some kind of free lunch? Zhang was really adding fuel to the fire, and she was furious.

The matchmaker was also helpless: See, she said she wanted to bring a gift, and in this situation, it had to be a generous gift.

She reminded her, but Madam Han said to go and see first, so she didn't say anything more.

She actually understood what Madam Han was thinking. She figured that since the die was cast, the Liang family had no choice but to accept it.

This is such a cunning scheme, the abacus beads are practically about to smash into someone's face.

The matchmaker looked down on her from the bottom of her heart, so she just let it go and didn't bother to give Han Fengshi any advice.

"The Liang family is completely unreasonable,"

Madam Han still had the nerve to criticize others, and a wicked idea popped into her head: "I'll go find Madam Xu and ask her to help persuade her; maybe it will work."

Matchmaker: "."

Forget it.

Respect the blessings.

Both Granny Qin Qing and Mu Xiang were good at gathering information, so Xu Zhichun naturally knew about the most exciting news from the eldest son's family.

She wasn't surprised by the incident itself, but by the way it was revealed.

When Han Fengshi came to visit, she was surprised that she would come to see her, but not surprised that she would say something.

Not wanting others to see the spectacle, Xu Zhichun invited her in.

Madam Han's gaze couldn't help but sweep over the courtyard and houses, her feelings becoming even more complicated.

It's so sour!

We're both sisters-in-law, but compared to them, I can't even come close.

Everyone else treats their brother-in-law like a child prodigy, but what about me? I have to resort to despicable and underhanded means to get a wife for my brother-in-law.

Although no one compared the two, Madam Han Feng couldn't help but secretly compare them in her heart.

Even so, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

“Madam Xu, my husband and Cui’er are truly in love. They are young people who love each other and only hope to stay together forever. I didn’t expect Cui’er’s parents to be so resentful and refuse to say a word to me. I really have no other choice but to beg you, Madam Xu.”

"No one can match Madam Xu's reputation in Liangjia Village. A single word from Madam Xu carries more weight than ten or a hundred words from others. Please, Madam Xu, help us and let these two young people be together."

"As the old saying goes, it's better to tear down a temple than to break up a marriage, especially since Madam Xu is Cui'er's sister-in-law. We beg Madam Xu to grant our request. Madam Xu's kindness is immense, and not only will the two young people remember it, but our entire Han family will also be eternally grateful!"

"Please, Madam Xu!"

Why would Xu Zhichun get involved in the messy affairs of the eldest son's family?

“Madam Feng, please don’t beg me. I can’t accept that. Cui’er is my peer, and she has her parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law. It’s none of my business to interfere in her affairs. Besides, I have no idea what’s going on here, and I can’t say a word about it. Madam Feng, you should go and discuss it with my uncle and aunt.”

"Madam Feng, please don't blame them. I've heard some rumors, and they're really not nice. It's normal for them to be so angry. Madam Feng, please be patient and think of a solution slowly. Things will always be resolved."

"Madam Xu—"

"Granny Qin Qing, please see Madam Feng out. I'm truly sorry, but I cannot keep Madam Feng any longer; she is presumably too busy."

Before Madam Han could say anything more, Granny Qin Qing wouldn't let her have her way and asked her to leave.

After closing the gate, Granny Qin Qing said with disdain, "The Han family's behavior is truly laughable!"
