Chapter 58 Rumors
He continued without giving up, "Sister Qianhua, feelings can be cultivated. If you marry me, I will definitely treat you well. My mother didn't like my father before we got married, but she's still living a good life now, isn't she?"
"Cousin Zhu, I don't deny that feelings can be cultivated, but in many cases, what is cultivated is just a habit or family affection, not necessarily love. I can also predict that no matter how long I cultivate with you, I will never fall in love with you."
Love is a feeling deep in the heart. She doesn't like men like Zhu Wu at all. Neither his height nor his appearance meets her standards. So no matter how long the two of them have been together, no matter how hard they try to cultivate their feelings, she will never be attracted to him.
It's like when you go to the supermarket to buy vegetables. If you find a potato that you don't like, will you start to like it after it's been stored for a long time? You won't. You will only dislike it more and more.
In fact, Qianhuan has always felt that in this world, promotions and salary increases can be obtained through hard work, and most things can be obtained through hard work, but love is the only thing that cannot be obtained by hard work alone.
Love is a kind of attraction. Only when that person attracts you will you love him.
But Zhu Wu didn't understand, he didn't understand the word love.
Most of the people in Yunfeng Village have reached the age to get married. When their parents like a girl from a certain family, they will arrange for a matchmaker to propose marriage. Many people have never even met their parents before getting married, so if you talk to them about love, they don't understand at all.
Zhu Wu only knew that he wanted to marry Qianhuan and have children with her and live with her.
So he continued to strive for it, saying, "Sister Qianhua, it doesn't matter if you don't love me. As long as you are willing to marry me, I will love and care for you for the rest of my life."
"It's okay for you, but not for me. If I don't love someone, I will never marry him. Cousin Zhu, one-sided love will not have a good result. People who love each other can be happy together. You'd better stop wasting your time on me and go back." Qianhuan ordered her to leave.
"Is it because of Jiang Lin? The person you love in your heart has always been Jiang Tongsheng, right?" Zhu Wu asked unwillingly.
"No, I don't like Jiang Tongsheng either. Cousin Zhu, thank you so much for liking me. Your love should be given to a woman who will love you as well. Unrequited love is not worth taking a leap. I don't want to delay you." Qianhuan looked at his painful expression and couldn't help but say a few more words to comfort him.
"I understand. Thank you for telling me so frankly. Sister Qianhua, I wish you a happy life with the one you love in the future!"
Zhu Wu felt extremely upset. He finally understood how Cuihua felt when she was rejected.
Being unable to get the love you want is really a great pain in this world.
But there was no point in continuing to argue, and he walked out of Liang Laoer's house in a daze.
When Liu saw that Zhu Wu had already left, she ran out and asked her daughter, "Qianhuan, what did you say to him? Why did he look so unhappy when he left?"
"Mom, it's nothing. I just explained to my cousin from the Zhu family why I didn't agree to the marriage proposal."
Zhu Wu walked towards home like a zombie. When a group of people came along the road, he rushed forward as if he didn't see them, and ended up knocking down a villager at the edge of the group. The villager cried out in pain.
The villagers nearby quickly helped the man up. After the man who was knocked down stood up, he saw that the man who knocked him walked away without even saying sorry. He was so angry that he pointed at Zhu Wu's back and cursed: "Who is this blind bastard who knocked me down and wanted to run away without even saying sorry?"
Zhu Wu continued walking forward without any reaction.
The anger in this man's heart suddenly burst out. He quickly chased after him, grabbed Zhu Wu's shoulder, and turned his whole body around. He was just about to teach this blind guy a lesson.
Unexpectedly, a villager suddenly said, "Hey, isn't this Zhu Wu from the Zhu family? I heard that his mother took matchmaker Wang to Liang Laoer's house this morning to propose to Qianhuan, but unfortunately she was rejected."
The person who was knocked down took a closer look and found that the man was indeed Zhu Wu, the son of the Zhu family.
The villager next to him said, "Look at how hopeless he looks. Could it be that he wants to commit suicide after being rejected?"
Another villager also said, "Old Liu, forget it. He looks like he's dying. If he really gets upset and something happens, you won't be able to explain yourself. Let's just leave as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Old Liu, who was knocked down, quickly let go of Zhu Wu's hand. He didn't want to get into trouble. Otherwise, if Zhu Wu really wanted to commit suicide, the Zhu family would know that he had taught Zhu Wu a lesson, and they would definitely put the blame on him. He could only blame himself for his bad luck.
Several villagers left quickly, and Zhu Wu regained his freedom, continuing to walk forward with a distraught look on his face.
This story quickly spread in Yunfeng Village. People of all ages like to listen to gossip and talk about it.
Everyone was talking about how capable Liang Qianhuan was. It had only been less than two months since Jiang Tongsheng broke off the engagement, and yet another man had come to propose marriage to her. It was true that beautiful women were still attractive. Even if their reputation was bad, there were still people who wanted them. The key point was that she actually refused.
Jiang Lin's family naturally knew about this. Jiang Lin's mother had regretted canceling the engagement so early when she saw that Liang Laoer's family had made a lot of money by selling chestnuts. Now that someone came to propose marriage, she felt even more unhappy.
"Hmph, a slut who was broken off by my son, is actually putting on airs and picking on others. She thinks she is so great just because she can make sugar-roasted chestnuts and make money. How can a girl go out and show her face in public all day long? " Jiang Lin's mother spoke ill of Qianhuan to the villagers with a look of disdain.
Many villagers wanted to curry favor with Jiang Lin's mother. After all, Jiang Lin was the best student in the village. If he passed the imperial examination in the future, they could register their own land under his name and enjoy tax exemption.
So these people tried their best to agree with Jiang Linniang and said, "That's right, she just relies on her good looks and forgets her own name. Let's see what kind of good family she can marry in the future if she refuses this marriage. No matter how pretty she is, she will never find a husband as outstanding as Jiang Tongsheng in the future."
"Of course. Among the villages around here, there is no boy as good as my son. My son Jiang Lin will take part in the college entrance examination soon. His teacher said that my son has an 80% chance of passing. By then, my son will be Scholar Jiang." Jiang Lin's mother became even more complacent when she saw the villagers trying to curry favor with her.
His son is indeed outstanding, otherwise how could the daughter of Mr. Liu be so fascinated by his son? Even if Mr. Liu does not approve of his daughter's relationship with his son, Miss Liu will still stick to him. It seems that his son is so charming.
When everyone heard this, they naturally started to curry favor with him. There had never been a scholar in the surrounding villages, so they naturally wanted to curry favor with the mother of the future scholar.
Qianhuan naturally knew about the rumors outside, but she didn't take them seriously at all and continued to do what she had to do. Others had their mouths on them, so they could say whatever they wanted. She just had to move forward firmly towards her goal of becoming a wealthy woman.
