“Brother Xu, have you met Chu Qingning?” Ji Hongshan, seeing Xu Jizhou’s reaction, was a bit puzzled. What was he dissatisfied with?

Jiang Zhaoyong walked by, overheard the name Chu Qingning, and stopped sensitively. He hid behind a nearby tree, silently listening.

Xu Jizhou replied straightforwardly, “No.”

Ji Hongshan was confused, “Then why are you upset? Is it because she rejected you?” That was likely the case—getting rejected hurts one’s pride.

Xu Jizhou tossed another stone into the lake and angrily replied, “Since ancient times, marriage has always been decided by one’s parents. What right did she have to say no?”

Ji Hongshan continued, “Maybe it’s because of the girl’s parents…” He didn’t finish the sentence, but the implied meaning was clear: her parents didn’t like Xu Jizhou. Of course, no one would say that outright.

Xu Jizhou turned around and glared at Ji Hongshan. “Impossible!”

“It’s not impossible!” Jiang Zhaoyong picked up where Ji Hongshan left off, “Chu Qingning’s parents are easygoing and amiable. If the marriage proposal was rejected, it’s definitely your fault.”

He was secretly glad that Xu Jizhou was rejected because he had discussed with his parents to propose marriage to Chu Qingning in March.

He thought narcissistically that Qingning must have him in her heart, which was why she rejected Xu Jizhou.

Xu Jizhou looked at Jiang Zhaoyong and narrowed his eyes. “What do you mean by my fault?”

Ignoring any niceties, Jiang Zhaoyong pointed out, “You’re not good-looking, have no money, and no notable talents. Chu Qingning will become a doctor in the future. Do you think you’re worthy of her?”

The more Xu Jizhou heard, the darker his expression became. When Jiang Zhaoyong finished, he retorted, “Is a girl’s place not at home, taking care of her parents-in-law, husband, and children?”

Jiang Zhaoyong clicked his tongue. “If she marries you, will she be able to be the Young Madam? Do you have money?”

Xu Jizhou was furious. “Everyone is like this. Why should she be an exception?”

Jiang Zhaoyong smiled. “This is why Qingning doesn’t like you. You think too highly of yourself.”

Xu Jizhou gritted his teeth in anger. “You…”

Jiang Zhaoyong was calm and composed. “What about me? Chu Qingning will travel in the future to increase her knowledge and improve her medical skills. Will you support her?”

Xu Jizhou retorted, “If she’s married, then she should stay at home obediently and take care of her in-laws and children. Why does she want to travel? Why do women need to learn so much? It’s a waste of time and energy.”

Jiang Zhaoyong stared at Xu Jizhou for a while and said, “With just these few words, you will never be able to marry Qingning. You are not worthy of her!”

Xu Jizhou was furious. “You…”

Jiang Zhaoyong waved at Xu Jizhou and turned to leave. He said, “1 think it’s a waste of time to talk to you. If I have the time, I might as well practice my guqin.”

Xu Jizhou was fuming with anger. He glared at Jiang Zhaoyong’s back, and his eyes burned with fire. What right did he have to criticize him? Was he better than him?

Ji Hongshan and the others stood silently at the side, not daring to say anything else. Otherwise, they would definitely be beaten up.

Xu Village.

Li Qingyu was furious. She rushed into the Xu village aggressively with her people and found Matchmaker Xu, who was gossiping. “Matchmaker Xu, how dare you!”

When Matchmaker Xu saw Li Qingyu, she immediately felt guilty. However, on the surface, she rolled her eyes and said meanly, “Yo! 1 was wondering who it was. Why? Is your daughter unable to get married and come to beg me to give her a marriage? Let me tell you, it’s too late now!”

Li Qingyu immediately retorted, “Your daughter is the one who can’t get married! Even if my daughter can’t get married, it’s not for you to worry.”

Matchmaker Xu secretly scolded Li Qingyu for looking for trouble. “Then why are you looking for me?”

Li Qingyu suppressed her anger. “Why are you talking bad about my Qingning everywhere?”

Matchmaker Xu coldly retorted, “Good news doesn’t go beyond the door, but bad news travels a thousand miles. Who has the time to gossip about your family? Don’t make baseless accusations!”

Li Qingyu really wanted to go up and tear Matchmaker Xu’s mouth apart. She could not suppress her anger anymore. “Then tell me how those words spread!”

Matchmaker Xu rolled her eyes in disdain and said disapprovingly, “How would I know how it spread? Anyway, your family is like that. If it spreads, so be it. What are you afraid of?”

“Matchmaker Xu, you’re going too far!” Li Qingyu shouted. Her temper had always been gentle, but at this moment, her eyes were red with anger.

Matchmaker Xu glanced at Li Qingyu from the corner of her eyes. “Li Qingyu, don’t be shameless. At that time, 1 came to talk to you nicely. What did you say? You said that your family is rich now. How can ordinary people be worthy of your daughter? That Xu family’s child is too poor and not worthy of marrying your daughter.”

Li Qingyu couldn’t take it anymore and slapped Matchmaker Xu’s foul mouth!

“Matchmaker Xu, i didn’t expect you to be such a person. Fortunately, 1 didn’t agree to this marriage. Otherwise, my Qingning would suffer for the rest of her life.”

Matchmaker Xu covered her face, feeling a burning pain. A few moments of daze later, she realized that Li Qingyu had hit her. How could Li Qingyu, usually calm and timid, dared to hit people?

Pushed to her limit, even a rabbit would bite, let alone a person!

“Li Qingyu!” Matchmaker Xu squeezed out the words from between her teeth. “How dare you hit me!”

Li Qingyu clenched her hand that had struck Matchmaker Xu. It was her first time hitting someone, but Matchmaker Xu was truly infuriating, and Li Qingyu couldn’t help herself. “I hit you, so what?”

“I’ll fight you to death!” Matchmaker Xu rushed towards Li Qingyu.

Li Qingyu wasn’t afraid. She was half a head taller than Matchmaker Xu, and her body was sturdy. Matchmaker Xu was not her match.

After Matchmaker Xu rushed over, she started fighting with Matchmaker Xu. During the process, she slapped Matchmaker Xu a few more times, but Matchmaker Xu did not gain any advantage.

Seeing that the two of them were fighting more and more fiercely, the women who had come with Li Qingyu to help hurriedly went forward to pull them back.

However, the woman from the Xu village thought that they were here to help fight Matchmaker Xu. Naturally, the villagers would not sit back and do nothing. Therefore, they joined the fight to help Matchmaker Xu and it turned into a chaotic brawl.

When Chu Qingning arrived with Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong, they happened to see this chaotic scene.

The three of them didn’t know what to say.

Chu Qingzhi went forward and waved her hand, pushing two sides apart. She hurriedly walked towards Li Qingyu.

Chu Qingzhi asked with concern, “Mother, are you hurt?”

“I’m fine!”

Li Qingyu’s hair was in a mess, and her clothes were a little disheveled. Matchmaker Xu had pinched her twice, but it was nothing. She was a little embarrassed to be seen like this by her daughter..
