Chapter 418 The Tragedy Caused by Remarriage (1)
Chapter 418 The Tragedy Caused by Remarriage (1)
"Xie Changguo, you two did this on purpose, didn't you? You're almost crushing this old woman to death!"
"This, isn't that Zhang the matchmaker's voice?" Zhou Ling muttered. What was Zhang the matchmaker doing in the village?
Liu Aihong also found it a bit strange, as none of the families in the neighborhood had any marriage proposals.
Moreover, Luo Hai's family is currently holding a funeral; to propose marriage at this crucial juncture is simply foolish.
Luo Ning suddenly remembered what Luo Jing had told her: the matchmaker Zhang said her family was expecting a child...
It seems like they're targeting me today, that's interesting!
Xie Chang'an didn't recognize Zhang the matchmaker, but seeing Luo Ning's excited expression and knowing that the newcomer posed no threat, he didn't take it seriously.
He noticed that his wife seemed a little thirsty, so he wheeled himself into the house to fetch her some water.
While the group pondered, Zhang the matchmaker, with her plump figure supported by a middle-aged woman, walked into Luo Ning's courtyard, followed by a long line of onlookers.
"Oh, everyone's here!" Zhang the matchmaker was very outgoing, treating everyone like family.
A pair of rat-like eyes kept scanning Luo Ning and the courtyard.
Wow, this girl is really beautiful. You can't find anyone as pretty as her for miles around.
This courtyard is the most outstanding in the surrounding area, with so many flowers planted and fruit bearing fruit, and various dried goods drying in the yard...
Luo Jing rushed in from outside and, seeing Zhang the matchmaker at the door, immediately sensed that she had ill intentions. "What are you doing here?"
"Don't meddle in adults' affairs!" Liu Donglan, who had chased after her, hurriedly pulled her away, muttering to herself.
My dear aunt, my little sister told you not to go near your older cousin, why can't you remember!
My mom and aunt are both here, so you have no right to make decisions!
The troublemakers were dragged away, and Zhang the matchmaker started trembling again, her beady eyes darting furtively towards Luo Ning in the middle of the courtyard. "Is your surname Luo?"
"That's right!" Luo Ning's mind raced, her gaze sweeping over the faces of Zhang the matchmaker and the middle-aged woman beside her who kept scrutinizing her, and she vaguely understood something.
The happy event that Matchmaker Zhang mentioned was actually her remarriage—it was indeed a joyous occasion! She had a few words of utter disapproval, but she didn't know whether she should say them!
Liu Aihong and Zhou Ling exchanged a glance, keenly sensing that something seemed amiss...
The whispers of onlookers... it seems... ah!
"There's an osmanthus tree in front of your house, you're destined for greatness, and you have a younger sister?" Zhang the matchmaker bombarded her with questions.
"You've got it all figured out!" Luo Ning put his hands behind his back, mentally cursing the ancestors of the bastard who revealed his information.
Matchmaker Zhang's eyes lit up as she nodded repeatedly, then tugged at the middle-aged woman beside her, "Aunt Qi, quickly let Qi Gao in to greet the bride!"
The gossip-loving crowd instantly erupted in excitement. As expected, rumors spread like wildfire throughout the village that Luo Ning was going to remarry, and it turned out to be true.
Matchmaker Zhang came to the door and made things very clear.
Some onlookers were curious, and their gazes unconsciously drifted toward Aunt Qi, the woman Luo Ning had remarried into.
"You old hag, what nonsense are you spouting?" Liu Aihong exploded on the spot. Her daughter was getting married, and she had no idea.
Zhang the matchmaker wasn't annoyed at all; her face was beaming with joy. After all, the Qi family had paid a lot for the matchmaking, and she had been a matchmaker for many years, so she had seen all sorts of situations.
“Aunt Luo, I’m just trying to help your daughter and Platoon Leader Qi get married. But you’re not being nice. I understand how you feel. You just can’t bear to part with your daughter. Your daughter can marry into the town and see him every day. She’ll be a military family member. How honorable!”
"Glory my ass!" Liu Aihong had now fallen into Luo Ning's old habits, and grabbed a broom to hit him.
Luo Ning smiled, her eyes crinkling. Her mother was usually so gentle, but she never expected her to have such a fierce side.
Now that her mother has taken the lead in this matter, she's happy to just watch the show from the sidelines.
I'm so curious which brave soul would want to marry her, given her supposedly cursed fate?
Aunt Qi pulled Zhang the matchmaker aside, her face somewhat unpleasant. "Hey, in-law, this is where you're wrong. You clearly accepted our betrothal gifts, and it took you so long to choose a date for the wedding. When we came to fetch you, you acted like nothing had happened."
Zhou Ling never expected her sister-in-law to be so capable, and hurriedly went up to pull her back.
"Little sister, is that true? I've never heard of it!"
"What the hell? I don't know what's wrong with these two lunatics!" Liu Aihong spat, strongly expressing her dissatisfaction.
"Of course I have it, Aunt Luo, don't try to renege on your promise!" Aunt Qi immediately protested, stretching her neck and shouting.
Still shaken, Matchmaker Zhang nodded repeatedly, confirming to Aunt Qi, "It really happened. I was there when the Qi family gave the Luo family the betrothal money, and I saw it clearly. It was over two hundred yuan!"
Luo Ning frowned slightly. The Qi family and Matchmaker Zhang were telling a very convincing story, but her family said there was no such thing. Could there be something going on...?
When Luo Baiwan returned home after going to town to deposit money, he found that Luo Ning's house was surrounded. His heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly squeezed in. He found Zhang the matchmaker and a strange woman standing in the yard confronting his family. "What's going on?"
Luo Ning pulled him aside and recounted what had just happened, "Dad, the main conflict now is that Zhang the matchmaker and the Qi family are insisting that our family accepted a bride price, while my mom says we didn't. What do you think we should do about this?"
"Outrageous!" Enraged, Luo Baiwan searched everywhere for something. He wouldn't be Luo Baiwan if he didn't beat that matchmaker Zhang to a pulp today.
The old hag is fed up with interfering with his daughter's marriage time and time again.
This is ridiculous! Da Ya is already married, and this whole thing will only make the gossip in the village even worse.
Seeing Luo Baiwan's commotion, Aunt Qi immediately called to her son, "Qi Gao, your father-in-law and mother-in-law are denying their debts and even trying to hit people! Come in here right now!"
The onlookers were abuzz with discussion. Remarriage wasn't a big deal, but the Luo family's treatment of the Qi family was excessive.
Jian Yin, dressed impeccably, coughed lightly from behind the crowd, and everyone quickly made way for her.
The main villain has arrived; everyone who was supposed to come has arrived.
What about Xie Chang'an, the husband of the protagonist Luo Ning, who is a positive character?
He went back to his room, locked the door, poured himself a glass of water, and casually glanced at the computer as he left.
Last time he saw Luo Ning checking military daggers on it, maybe he could find what he wanted.
He quickly checked Ling Wei's identity, his own resume, whether Luo Ning was married or not, what was going on between him and Luo Ning, and his marriage, etc. Then he turned on his computer and started working on it like crazy.
In Luo Ning's courtyard, the crowd of onlookers was packed in layers.
The workshop was still open at this time, and it was still early before lunchtime, so the hairdressers were just watching the drama unfold.
Some bad elements, bribed with small favors, are just waiting for the Luo family and the Qi family to fight each other to the point of bloodshed.
