As soon as I was reborn, my fiancé came to propose marriage!
Chapter 16 Proposal
She originally wanted to take advantage of Zhou and the others being eating to run over and teach Cui Yunzhu a lesson before going back to her own room. But when she arrived, Zhou was already inside cursing. She waited with glee, ready to wait until Zhou left before going in. However, one thing after another happened, leaving her unable to react.
Why did Chen Yan come to propose marriage? How did he collect ten taels of silver so quickly?
Damn it, someone is willing to spend so much money on that little bitch Cui Yunzhu. How could she deserve him? It would be better if she was the one who married Chen Yan, Cui Yunli thought secretly.
An idea popped into her mind and she giggled happily, a smile that looked particularly hideous on her face. Then she walked back to the house triumphantly, immersed in her own world.
Cui Yunli was now thinking about how to get Chen Yan to marry her, and she had forgotten how Uncle Cui had warned Cui's father just now.
The sun was shining brightly at noon, and there were a few magpies jumping around on the tree outside the door. The matchmaker had waited for a long time and was not angry, because the Chen family gave her a big red envelope.
In the main room, Uncle Cui and Father Cui were sitting, and Cui Yunzhu was standing aside.
Chen Yan brought the matchmaker in. Before he could even open his mouth, the matchmaker said with a smile on her face, "It's true that a family with a daughter is sought after by hundreds of families. I'm here to congratulate the Cui family!"
Next, he began to praise people, first praising the girl from the Cui family for being beautiful, dignified, diligent and capable, and then praising the son of the Chen family for being hardworking and motivated.
Cui Yunzhu admired the matchmaker. She could still speak to herself in the strange atmosphere in the room, and her praises were not excessive but just right.
The matchmaker also felt that she was not wrong to praise him. Before coming, she had heard about how harshly the Cui family treated their daughter, and she was curious why the Chen family was willing to spend so much on a betrothal gift to marry a daughter-in-law.
She thought that when she came in, she would see a pale, skinny, timid girl huddled aside.
My eyes light up when I see Cui Yunzhu!
Wow, she is so beautiful, just a little thin. No wonder she has bewitched the boy from the Chen family. She had no idea how many times he looked over here as soon as he entered the room.
If the boy from the Chen family hadn't gotten there first, she would have wanted to find a matchmaker for her own son. The matchmaker withdrew her eyes regretfully.
Cui Yunzhu didn't know that after soaking in the spiritual spring last night, not only her injuries healed, but her appearance also changed greatly. Her whole face became white, tender and translucent, like a peeled egg, making people want to touch it at first sight.
Her facial features are very delicate, with round almond-shaped eyes that can dazzle people's hearts when she smiles.
Now that my skin has become fair and translucent, I look rosy-cheeked and pink-faced, which is so adorable.
Cui's father also noticed the changes in Cui Yunzhu and was surprised. He had not looked at his daughter straight in the eye for a long time. Unknowingly, she had grown up so big and had such a beautiful appearance.
What a pity. What happened back then is always a thorn in his heart. Not beating her to death was already a mercy. He didn't think that he and Zhou had done anything wrong over the years.
"Oh my, look, both families are so happy that they are silly. Haha." The matchmaker was not angry when she saw that Cui's father did not respond, but burst into laughter instead.
"Then I, an old woman, have spoken first without being tactful. The elder sister of the Chen family means that the betrothal gift should be given according to the requirements of the Cui family. Ten taels is not a small amount, which shows that the Chen family is sincere and really wants to marry into the Cui family. However, the Chen family has a request..." The matchmaker stopped talking at the right time and looked at Cui's father.
"Don't keep us in suspense, just tell me." Uncle Cui couldn't stand Father Cui's dilly-dallying attitude. He wanted to finish the work quickly so that he could go home. He didn't want to stay in the Cui family for a moment.
"The elder sister of the Chen family said that this girl is a great one, but her youngest son is almost twenty years old, so she has to take the daughter-in-law back home earlier to feel at ease. In my opinion, there are not so many rules in our village. Why not get engaged today and let the girl become a nun the day after tomorrow?" The matchmaker said that she was the one who proposed the marriage two days later, but everyone present knew that it was the Chen family who made the request.
If Zhou was here, she would definitely cause trouble for the Chen family, but Cui's father was too lazy to care and just nodded as if he agreed.
Cui Yunzhu didn't expect to get married so soon. She changed her mind and wondered if Chen Yan couldn't wait any longer. Her face turned red.
Seeing this, Chen Yan felt itchy and could only rub his hands secretly to relieve his discomfort.
"Well! Don't you have anything else to say?" Uncle Cui asked Father Cui.
Father Cui shuddered inwardly. He had originally thought that he could get away with it, but now he didn't dare to play any tricks under the nose of Uncle Cui.
He endured the pain and said to the matchmaker in a sanctimonious manner, "Forget about the ten taels of betrothal gift. Our Cui family is not selling our daughter. We will accept the same betrothal gift as an ordinary family, and two taels will be enough!"
Cui Yunzhu knew her father's character very well and guessed that he must be heartbroken, but she could only swallow her anger because of Uncle Cui San.
The matchmaker was shocked again. She didn't expect that today's marriage would be so easy to arrange, and the Cui family even said that they only wanted two taels of betrothal gift!
She was ready for a tough battle and couldn't ruin her reputation. But who would have expected that the Cui family would suddenly attack her and leave her stunned.
"But I have to say this first. My family is not well off. You can just pick her up in two days. I don't have the money to hold a wedding for you."
Cui's father originally thought that after receiving the ten-liang betrothal gift, he could spend some money on the wedding banquet. It would not cost much if it was simple, and he could also make some money as a gift.
Now the ten taels in hand have become two taels. The villagers just give some money, you bring some cabbages and I bring some potatoes. At most, relatives give a dozen or twenty cents. If we hold a wedding again, we will suffer a huge loss.
"In that case, why don't Yunzhu go back with me today? No matter how poor our family is, we will never treat her badly and will definitely do it in a grand manner. She is weak, so it will only take two days. There is no difference between going today and the day after tomorrow. I don't have to worry about her being bullied." Chen Yan suddenly spoke.
The matchmaker was still cursing the Cui family for being stingy in her heart, but she felt relieved when she heard Chen Yan say this. This boy from the Chen family is really manly. She would ask her son to learn more from him when she goes back.
"That's not bad. There are cases where the bride is taken directly away. In our countryside, we don't have to worry about people gossiping about us once we get engaged." The matchmaker also agreed with a smile.
"That's just right. Leave the betrothal gifts behind and take this money-losing good away quickly. It can also save me two days' worth of food." Father Cui didn't care.
He said to Cui Yunzhu, "Don't even think about taking anything from home. Whether you live or die in the future has nothing to do with my Cui family. Go ahead and cause trouble for the Chen family. Without you, our family will soon be in good shape. When Xiang'er becomes a high-ranking official, don't come to our house shamelessly. If you dare to come, I will kick you out."
