Xiao Chunhua and Jiujiu were well aware that if this matter was reported to Village Chief Li, Xiao Chunhua will definitely not be able to get even a dime.
Xiao Chunhua cursed for a long time, but Jiujiu went to Village Chief Li. Xiao Chunhua's fat face turned red in an instant. Because of his anger, his whole face turned blue and purple, just like a pig's liver.
The way he looked at Jiujiu was like a cold knife that went straight to Jiujiu's body.
However, when Jiujiu mentioned Village Chief Li, Xiao Chunhua knew that if he continued to curse, he would be asking for a snub. So, he could only curse and leave. And because he didn't get any advantage, he was watched by other people. Xiao Chunhua's mood was very irritable.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to add more pressure to Jiujiu's heart.
"What a sharp mouth, I don't know who has the blessing to marry such a sharp girl."
Xiao Chunhua praised Jiujiu's sharp mouth, but in fact, he was implying that Jiujiu's mouth was mean and not easy to get along with.
The people who came here to watch the fun were all villagers. The confrontation between Jiujiu and Xiao Chunhua has long been exposed. Jiujiu's mouth was so sharp, even when she quarreled with Xiao Chunhua, who was famous for his shrewdness, Xiao Chunhua couldn't get even a little bit of advantage. In the end, he could only suffer in silence.
Moreover, not only was Jiujiu's mouth sharp, but she was also beautiful. Men liked beautiful women. If they married Jiujiu and their sons turned a blind eye to Jiujiu's sarcasm because of Jiujiu's beautiful face, everyone could almost imagine their own future.
Originally, because Jiujiu was beautiful, and she was the only girl in her family, marrying her was equivalent to getting a family business and a beauty. But now, the idea of marrying her was dispelled in an instant.
Although a beauty is good, they also have the blessing to enjoy it. Jiujiu was such a shrewd girl, ordinary people can't handle her.
When Jiujiu and Xiao Chunhua quarreled, a family who had a good relationship with Chen Zhangsheng ran to the field to inform Chen Zhangsheng and his wife. But, when the couple came back, they didn't see Jiujiu crying as they imagined. Instead, they saw Xiao Chunhua's ugly face and cursing while walking back.
Seeing Chen Changsheng and his wife, Xiao Chunhua immediately smiled. She praised them on the surface but belittled them on the inside. "Oh, Old Chen, you two have a good daughter. She's so eloquent. People who don't know her might think she's a lawyer."
After saying that, Xiao Chunhua left, leaving the Chen couple in a daze.
When the couple ran back home, panting, Jiujiu had already gone back to cutting the pigweed. When the onlookers outside saw the Chen couple coming back, they immediately pulled them back and vividly described how Jiujiu made Xiao Chunhua so angry that she stomped her feet. Because the process was too satisfying, and because of Xiao Chunhua's flustered and exasperated appearance, Xiao Chunhua's sharp mouth usually offended people. Now that she was speechless and left in a flustered and exasperated manner because of Jiujiu's words, it could be said that it was very satisfying.
So much so that when this person was talking, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Although the Chen couple should be happy that their daughter wasn't bullied by Xiao Chunhua, the Chen couple couldn't laugh at all.
Although this neighbor used a neutral tone to say those words, Xiao Chunhua's mouth wasn't ordinary. Her mouth had once made people wish they could die. Even if Jiujiu won, she would still be ostracized by her.
Their good daughter was going to be engaged in a few days, but now such a thing happened.
Although Huang Yixiao's family was poor, he was still a scholar. If Jiujiu's sharp tongue were to spread, what if Huang Yixiao went back on his words?
Chen Zhangsheng was extremely worried. He couldn't wait to run to Huang Yixiao and explain.
When the Chen couple returned home and saw Jiujiu cutting the pigweed, their lips moved, but in the end, they couldn't say a word.
No matter what, Jiujiu didn't have any problems handling this matter. It was Xiao Chunhua who provoked her first, and Jiujiu only retaliated.
However, even if they comforted themselves, when they thought of Jiujiu's reputation being ruined, the Chen couple couldn't laugh.
Even if Jiujiu was beautiful, her reputation was ruined. Good people paid more attention to reputation. Even if you looked like a fairy, no one would be willing to marry you if you didn't have a good reputation.
The Chen couple was so worried about Jiujiu's reputation that they couldn't sleep at night.
However, for a few days, the Chen couple was like grasshoppers on an iron plate. Their hearts were about to be fried, but Huang Yixiao didn't have the slightest intention of canceling the engagement. When the appointed time came, Huang Yixiao came to propose marriage on time.
Although it was a proposal, it was just bringing some things over.
Huang Yixiao's family was poor, so the things he could bring were limited. The best one was the jade bracelet. Although in Jiujiu's opinion, this jade wasn't very good and wasn't worth much, in this isolated mountain village, this jade bracelet was a good thing.
Moreover, this jade bracelet was passed down from Huang Yixiao's ancestors. It was a family heirloom that could only be passed down to women, not men.
When Huang Yixiao's father was seriously ill, Huang Yixiao's mother wanted to sell this jade bracelet for money to treat Huang Yixiao's father, but Huang Yixiao's father refused.
Because of this, after Huang Yixiao's father died of illness, his mother constantly blamed herself. If she had insisted on selling the bracelet at that time, Huang Yixiao's father wouldn't have died. This incident hit Huang Yixiao's mother so hard that she was directly paralyzed a few days after Huang Yixiao's father passed away.
The Chen couple didn't know the story of this bracelet, but this bracelet was very valuable in their eyes.
They always thought that Huang Yixiao's family had been poor for a long time in order to treat his father's illness. Now that Huang Yixiao took out the jade bracelet, Chen Changsheng was stunned at first, then reacted.
Huang Yixiao's father was seriously ill. If he could sell it, he would have done so long ago. This bracelet was probably a family heirloom.
Now that he even took out a family heirloom, it could be seen that Huang Yixiao was really sincere.
The Chen couple, who were originally worried that Huang Yixiao would break off the engagement because of Jiujiu's reputation, suddenly felt that they were measuring the heart of a gentleman with the yardstick of a villain. Especially Ma Juhua, she felt even more ashamed. From the beginning, she didn't like Huang Yixiao. When Xiao Chunhua ruined Jiujiu's reputation, she began to worry that Huang Yixiao would break off the engagement because of Jiujiu's bad reputation. Now that Huang Yixiao took out such a valuable thing to propose marriage, Ma Juhua felt even more guilty.
The original dissatisfaction disappeared at this moment.
