Chapter 57 Love but not getting it

Matchmaker Wang originally thought that their family would definitely agree to the marriage immediately. After all, the news that Qianhuan was broken off by Jiang Tongsheng had already spread widely in the village.

A woman like this who has been rejected by someone else will have a stain on her life. The fact that someone still comes to propose marriage to her must be a blessing from her ancestors.

What's more, he is such an outstanding young man like Zhu Wu. This is a great thing for Liang Laoer's family. I didn't expect that they would be so ungrateful and actually refused.

"Liu, your daughter is already 13 years old. She will be 14 after the Chinese New Year. She is already quite old. Her marriage proposal was rejected and her reputation has long been ruined. Now she has such a good marriage in front of her. This is the blessing she earned in her previous life."

Matchmaker Wang was indeed quite eloquent, and her words were very sharp and to the point. Mrs. Liu seemed to be shaken again.

When Matchmaker Wang saw that Liu was hesitant, she knew that this matter was not completely hopeless.

So she continued to persuade him, "Besides, the Zhu family is your sister-in-law's family. You all know them well. Zhu Wu is a good person and hardworking. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get the chance again. Are you sure you don't want to agree?"

In fact, this Zhu is no longer Liu's sister-in-law, but Matchmaker Wang and Zhu Wuniang don't know that the two families had severed their relationship yesterday.

"Thank you for your kindness. We are very sure that we do not agree to this marriage." Qianhuan walked out of the east wing and firmly rejected Matchmaker Wang.

Zhu Wuniang didn't like Qianhuan in the first place. She didn't expect that when she personally brought a matchmaker to propose marriage, she was rejected by Qianhuan herself. She was really embarrassed.

Zhu Wuniang was immediately furious. She stood up and said to Qianhuan fiercely, "If my son hadn't fallen in love with you and begged me to come to my house to propose marriage, I would not have considered you as my daughter-in-law. Humph, you are a second-hand girl whose engagement was rejected. You think you are so valuable and want to put on airs in front of me. You have a seductive look and you are not someone who will settle down. I want to see what kind of good family you can marry in the future."

"Matchmaker Wang, let's go." After saying that, she angrily left with Matchmaker Wang.

When Liu saw Zhu Wuniang's expression, she was also dumbfounded. She was almost persuaded by the matchmaker Wang and was ready to continue persuading her daughter to agree to the marriage.

At this moment, she couldn't help but secretly feel fortunate that Qianhuan rejected them, otherwise with such an evil mother-in-law, Qianhuan's future life would probably not be easy.

Liang Laoer was lying in the room, so he naturally heard the conversation outside clearly. He was also glad that his daughter did not agree to their proposal.

He knew that Zhu Wu was actually a good child, but after getting married, his daughter would not live with Zhu Wu alone. She would also have to serve her parents-in-law and live with the whole family. If the mother-in-law was too mean, his daughter would not have a comfortable life in the Zhu family.

Qianhuan also took this opportunity to tell her parents her thoughts.

"Mom and Dad, if anyone comes to propose marriage in the future, please don't agree privately. I can only choose the man I want to marry in the future. If I meet someone I like, I will naturally tell you."

"You silly child, please don't say such stupid things again. If someone hears you, you will be in trouble. How can a woman say that she wants to find a man for herself? Isn't it all arranged by parents and matchmakers?"

Liu was so scared that she quickly gave Qianhuan a lecture. What if the people in the village heard it? They would definitely scold her daughter for being shameless.

"Mom, I understand, but you must promise me this. I must make my own decision on my marriage. If you make a decision for me privately, I will be unhappy and will hate you."

Qianhuan just wants to fight for her freedom in marriage. She doesn't want to be promised to someone casually. She really cannot accept this kind of arranged marriage.

"Chunxiang, let's just agree to our daughter." Liang Laoer really loves his daughter. In this era, people get married by the orders of their parents and matchmakers, but he is actually willing to let his daughter make the decision herself.

"Okay, mother promises you that your father and I will never make decisions on your marriage on our own."

"Thank you, Mom and Dad." Qianhuan felt relieved when she saw that both of them agreed.

At the Zhu family's side, Zhu Wu was pacing back and forth in the house with an anxious look on his face. If his mother hadn't asked him to wait at home, he really wanted to go to the house in person to propose marriage.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps outside the gate of his house. Before he heard the knock on the door, he ran out and opened the gate.

Seeing that it was really his mother standing outside the door, he said in surprise: "Mom, you are finally back. Is the marriage settled?"

When Zhu Wuniang heard this, she immediately got angry and said, "What agreement? You are not allowed to mention that bitch Qianhuan to me again. You can marry anyone you want in the future, but you can't marry her."

"Mom, why is this happening?" Zhu Wu couldn't help but feel anxious when he heard his mother say that.

"You're still asking me why. It's because that stinky girl you've been obsessed with rejected the marriage proposal. She's a second-hand girl who's been rejected by an engagement party before, and she still thinks she's such a hot commodity."

"What? Sister Qianhuan rejected the marriage proposal? No, I don't believe it. It must be her parents who don't agree, right?" Zhu Wu looked devastated and couldn't believe this was true.

"Why would I lie to you? She rejected me herself. Don't worry, my son. There are many good women in the village. I will find you a better one."

"Mom, I don't want any other woman. I only want to marry Sister Qianhuan. No, I have to ask her in person." Zhu Wu said and ran out of the house.

When Zhu Wuniang saw her son was about to run to Liang Laoer's house, she immediately felt something was wrong. She quickly chased him out, shouting as she chased him, "Don't go. Come back here."

Zhu Wu ran away without looking back, and no matter how his mother chased him and shouted at him, it was of no use.

Young people who are just beginning to fall in love are so persistent that before they hear the other party's answer with their own ears, they will always hold a glimmer of fantasy in their hearts and will never turn back until they hit a wall.

Zhu Wu's mother didn't want her son to go to Liang Laoer's house and humiliate himself, but she was not as strong as Zhu Wu. She chased him for a while but failed to catch up. She could only watch Zhu Wu disappear from her sight.

When Zhu Wu arrived at Liang Laoer's house, he plucked up the courage to knock on the door.

When Liu opened the door and saw Zhu Wu, she was very surprised. They had just rejected his marriage proposal, so why did he come to them again?

"Aunt Liu, I want to see Sister Qianhuan alone." Zhu Wu said to Liu while standing outside the door.

"I'm afraid this is not a good idea." Liu was a little embarrassed. A girl's reputation was the most important thing. How could she meet a stranger like him alone?

Normally, it was already against the rules for her daughter to follow them to the city to set up a stall. If her daughter hadn't been dressed as a man, she would definitely not agree to let her go out in public.

"Aunt Liu, I beg you, I just want to say a few words to Sister Qianhuan." Zhu Wu said pleadingly.

"Mom, let him in." Qianhuan had already heard the noise outside.

When Zhu Wu saw Qianhuan come out to speak for him, he suddenly felt happy. He thought to himself: It must be her parents who do not agree to the marriage, and it is definitely not Qianhuan who refused it herself.

After the two of them entered the yard, Qianhuan instructed Liu, "Mother, please go into the house first." Upon hearing this, Liu went into the house, looking back every few steps.

"Cousin Zhu, just say whatever you want to say." Qianhuan knew that he would definitely not give up. It was better to make things clear about the relationship as early as possible so that he would not have to harbor any illusions.

Zhu Wu was actually very nervous. He lowered his head, pinched the corner of his clothes, mustered up his courage, and asked carefully: "Sister Qianhuan, did you know that my mother came to propose marriage?"

"I know." Qianhuan replied calmly.

"It's your parents who don't agree with our marriage, right? They think there's something wrong with me, and I will definitely change."

"It's not that my parents don't agree, it's me who doesn't agree. Cousin Zhu, I don't like you. If we force ourselves to be together, we won't be happy." Qianhuan said it very bluntly, leaving Zhu Wu no room for fantasy.

Zhu Wu's face turned pale immediately. He didn't expect that it was Qianhuan herself who rejected the marriage proposal.
