Farmer girl swaps husbands: buys a sickly villain and pampers him

Chapter 197 Good Reputation

Seeing this, Zhang Zhaodi turned her anger into laughter, put her hands on her hips and said, "With your foul mouth, even God will punish you."

"What's going on?" Su Yaoguang didn't know what had happened.

However, Zhang Zhaodi is currently in a stable emotional state; she wouldn't normally get this angry over something so trivial. She doesn't know what that old woman said to make her so upset.

“Yaoguang, this old woman said she wanted to arrange a marriage for us, but we didn’t want to. She then said that your mother had caused your father’s death, and she was really maddening to hear that.”

Upon hearing this, Su Yaoguang rolled up her sleeves and ran towards the door.

The matchmaker, Li, had just gotten up and was rubbing her back when she heard a noise behind her. She turned around and was so frightened that she ran away as fast as she could.

She tripped and fell again as she ran. This time, she didn't even have time to cry out in pain before she ran away at top speed.

"Don't run away if you dare, or I'll beat you to death!" Su Yaoguang cursed in the direction of Matchmaker Li.

"Boss Su, what's wrong?" a passerby asked.

With red eyes, Su Yaoguang said aggrievedly, "This old woman said my mother was a jinx to her husband and that she caused my father's death. Everyone knows that my father went to the battlefield to become a hero. Which of those who go to the battlefield isn't going to serve their country? If they die on the battlefield, their wives will be branded as jinxes. I don't know if those loyal souls can rest in peace."

“That old woman Li is really going too far. How could she talk such nonsense? I won’t let her talk about my daughter’s marriage anymore.”

“I won’t even let her arrange my son’s marriage.”

"The Su family are all kind-hearted people, how could she say such a thing?"

"Aunties, don't offend this matchmaker Li for Yaoguang's sake. This matchmaker is the best at twisting the truth. If you offend her, it will be difficult for any of you with children of marriageable age to find a spouse."

“We’re not the only matchmaker here. If we don’t ask her to arrange a marriage, someone else will. We won’t tolerate such a vicious old woman.”

"Yes, I won't ask her to marry me anymore."

Su Yaoguang thanked the aunties for speaking up for her and turned to go back into the shop.

Zhou Wangshu gave her a thumbs up.

Su Yaoguang tilted her head back, looking arrogant.

“Those two old bastards are no good people. They actually dared to target us sisters. They’re definitely after our shop,” Zhang Zhaodi said.

Zhang Pandi was a little confused: "You're the shop owner's wife, so marrying you would give you the shop, that's for sure. But I'm not, so why do you want to marry me?"

“You know the formula,” Su Yaoguang said from the side. “If the other party is after the formula, it’s easiest for them to target you. You have a gentle nature, so you’re the easiest to manipulate.”

"It's just a small matter, it's not worth getting angry over someone like that," Su Yaoguang coaxed. "Come on, let me give Mom and Second Aunt a back massage to help them relax."

The next day, Matchmaker Li, accompanied by Master Wang and Master Zhang, personally visited to propose marriage. They brought a large number of gifts. However, before they even entered the house, the gifts were thrown out.

Jiang Jing and Jia Chunni blocked the doorway.

Jiang Jing said coldly, "I made it very clear yesterday, and you still come here today to humiliate yourself. You have a really thick skin." "That's right," Jia Chunni echoed, her little face puffed up with anger, but she was not intimidating at all.

"Dr. Jiang, I was very rude yesterday. I was dizzy and said the wrong thing. Please let me see Madam Zhang and Madam Zhang. I will beg for their forgiveness on my knees."

Matchmaker Li is now filled with regret.

Yesterday, she shouldn't have said something provocative to Zhang Zhaodi just to vent her anger. Because of that, not long after she returned home, all the families who had previously approached her about marriage came to her door to tell her they no longer needed her to arrange any marriages for them, and that they would never approach her again. This terrified her. Her family depended on her for food; if no one arranged marriages for them, wouldn't they starve?

She originally had a low status in the family, but gained status because of the marriage matchmaking business. She didn't want to go back to the days when her husband beat her every day.

"Ladies, I pay my respects to you both." Master Wang bowed deeply and said with a smile, "I sincerely wish to marry Madam Zhang. Please convey my request and let me see her. I want to express my feelings to Madam Zhang in person so that she will know my sincerity."

"No need, my godmother doesn't want to see you. Besides, my godmother will not remarry, so please stop bothering her. This is Mr. Zhang, right? My second aunt also has no intention of remarrying."

"Your family is really something else. One is a widow, one was divorced, and the other married a sickly man. Now that we're willing to take over, you're still not happy?" Seeing that he couldn't get in no matter what he said, Boss Zhang immediately turned hostile and revealed his ugly face.

Jiang Jing and Jia Chunni exchanged a glance and moved aside, where they saw many male staff rushing out.

The men, each wielding a long stick, were charging angrily toward them.

Upon seeing this, the matchmaker, Li, and the two gentlemen, Zhang and Wang, hurriedly ran away. However, they were old and could not run fast enough, and were quickly caught up by the shop assistants and given a good beating.

"Hit harder, keep hitting..." Jia Chunni waved her arm.

"Shameless old bastard, even his grandson is running around all over the place, and he still wants to mess with my godmother." Jiang Jing sneered, "I really want to give him a few needles and make him paralyzed."

Su Yaoguang came out of the flower market.

She had just finalized a deal with the flower market owners to have them deliver another batch of goods to the workshop.

Since opening the workshop, their daily output has increased significantly, which means they need more and more raw materials and have to find several suppliers to meet their demand.

As Su Yaoguang passed by the entrance of the gambling den, she happened to see Xiao Yanci leading Jiang Yihuan and her daughter out of it.

Xiao Yanci and the others also saw her.

At this moment, Su Yaoguang was dressed exquisitely and beautifully, her skin fair and delicate, making her look like a young lady from a wealthy family. Jiang Yihuan, on the other hand, wasn't dressed as elegantly as before. While her clothes were of decent style, the material was rather rough. Her hair was styled in an updo without any silver ornaments. However, she understood men's hearts, and without any adornment, she styled her hair in a pitiful, delicate bun, making her look nothing like a proper lady.

She had dark circles under her eyes, indicating she hadn't been sleeping well lately. Her once snow-white skin was now dull and lifeless, as if someone had drained her of her life force.

As for Xiao Yanci, apart from losing weight, there weren't any major changes.

That makes sense, given Xiao Yanci's style of doing things. He would definitely continue to study every day as before, focusing on his studies and not putting any effort into other areas.

Feng Hua Ge is gone, and Jiang Yihui is left with a mountain of debt. He may not care, but the gambling dens and brothels will definitely come after Zhong Lanhua and her daughter to collect the debt. I don't know how they will handle it.

Xiao Yanci felt complicated when he saw Su Yaoguang again.

He led Jiang Yihuan and her daughter past her.
