Siheyuan: The beauty Xueru Huizhen, the birds are jealous

Although Yu Haitang's words made her heart ripple, she still couldn't express her emotions as directly as her sister.

Especially in recent days, the scene of Yang Ming giving her artificial respiration always appeared in her mind. However, Yu Li's personality is more reserved, and she can't express her feelings as boldly as her sister.

What's more, she didn't even know Yang Ming's address.

The three of them then entered the Yan family, and the matchmaker introduced Yu Li and her sister Yu Haitang to the Yan family.

The people of the Yan family, especially Yan Jiecheng, had satisfaction in their eyes the moment they saw Yu Li.

He seemed to have foreseen his future with Yu Li, and even the children's laughter seemed to ring in his ears.

Yan Jiecheng took the initiative to approach Yu Li and strike up a conversation with her, while Yan Bugui and the third aunt cleverly inquired about Yu Li's family background and work situation during the chat.

But when they saw the meal prepared by Yan Bugui, Yu Li, Yu Haitang and the matchmaker all showed some displeasure on their faces.

On this dining table, there are four dishes and one bowl that are extremely simple.

There was a dish with a slight meaty aroma, but the meat slices were so thin that it was almost impossible to detect their presence.

In the soup bowl, there were only two skinny crucian carps floating, and there was not even a trace of oil on the surface of the soup.

What is even more frowning is that the fish soup seems to have a hint of indescribable earthy smell. It is obvious that even the basic step of removing the fishy smell was ignored during the stewing process.

Faced with such a meal, the matchmaker's smile gradually faded.

She was engaged in this matchmaking business, and in addition to the meager matchmaking fee, she also hoped to take the opportunity to enjoy a delicious meal.

However, today's meal was the most plain one among her many blind date experiences, which made her quite disappointed. She had strongly advocated the match between the matchmaker and the Yan family, hoping to make this a good thing.

But the Yan family's behavior today made her feel like she was slapped in the face. Recalling that she had spoken well of the two families on the way, the matchmaker couldn't help but feel annoyed.

She turned to Yan Bugui and asked bluntly: "Mr. Yan, is the food too simple?" Facing the matchmaker's questioning, Yan Bugui acted very calm, as if everything was expected.

He answered casually: "We are a vegetarian family, and living frugally is also our way of life."

Although the matchmaker no longer had much hope for this marriage, she still asked out of professional habit: "So, Mr. Yan, what are your family's plans regarding the bride price?"

Yan Bugui's eyes gleamed when he heard this, and he replied, "Money is something outside of our body, and our family doesn't value it. How about this, we'll give you five yuan as a betrothal gift, what do you think?"

These words shocked both the matchmaker and Yu Li who was standing beside her.

Yu Li originally just came to deal with this blind date and planned to find a reason to refuse, but she didn't expect the Yan family to be so stingy.

Thinking that she was almost about to enter such a family, she couldn't help but feel a little scared, but at the same time she was also glad that she already had someone in her heart.

The matchmaker tried to negotiate a higher gift for Yu Li, but Yan Bugui was stubborn and refused to pay even a penny more.

Yu Li felt very uncomfortable listening to the argument between the matchmaker and Yan Bugui, as if she had become a commodity being bargained over.

She finally couldn't stand this atmosphere anymore, so she stood up and interrupted their conversation.

Under the surprised gazes of the matchmaker and Yan's family, she decided to leave this place that made her feel depressed.

As the atmosphere in the room gradually became solemn, the woman suddenly spoke up to break the silence: "I originally had no real intention for this marriage." She said directly, "I didn't express it clearly before. In fact, I don't have much affection for your family. It's only out of friendship with Aunt Wang that I have been coping so far."

She paused for a moment and then said, "Now that things have come to this, I don't think there is any need to continue this meal. Please continue to enjoy it." After that, she nodded slightly, gestured to the matchmaker next to her, and then turned around to leave.

Faced with this sudden change, everyone in the Yan family seemed at a loss.

They thought the marriage was a done deal, but they never expected the girl to suddenly regret it. Yan Jiecheng was extremely anxious and hurriedly asked his father for help: "Dad!" Then he turned to the girl, "Isn't it just a betrothal gift? No matter how much it is, I will find a way to get it together!"

Yan Bugui's attention was also drawn at this time, and he quickly responded: "Boss, since you are so determined, let's sign a document. But remember, you have to calculate the interest at three percent."

Outside the house, the two young ladies of the Yu family witnessed all this and were shocked.

They originally thought that the man's family was just frugal, but they didn't expect that the father and son would calculate even the betrothal gift so carefully.

Yu Haitang couldn't help but sigh: "Sister, it's a good thing you didn't marry such a family. With such a family, how can you feel at ease in the future?"

Yu Li nodded in agreement, and her eyes caught a familiar figure in the distance.

"Yang Ming?" She exclaimed in surprise, "So you live here too?"

Yang Ming turned around and saw Yu Li and Yu Haitang. He smiled and replied, "Yeah, I didn't expect to meet you here."

The three of them started chatting and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

At this time, the father and son of the Yan family in the house finally discussed the loan matters.

When they came out of the room, they found that the prospective daughter-in-law had disappeared. They hurriedly looked around, but saw Yu Li and Yu Haitang chatting happily with Yang Ming. Seeing this, Yan Jiecheng was burning with jealousy.

He rushed forward impulsively, trying to pull Yu Li away from Yang Ming, and shouted: "Yang Ming, let go of my fiancée!"

He stared at the two of them angrily, as if they were the destined partners.

However, all this was in vain, and Yu Li had made up her mind not to participate in this hopeless marriage anymore.

"Um?"

However, just when Yan Jiecheng wanted to get closer, Yang Ming cleverly turned the situation around and even quietly made the distance between the three of them a little farther.

"What the hell does this happen?"

Yang Ming's words were not directed at Yan Jiecheng directly, but were directed at Yu Li, with a hint of inquiry.

"Yang Ming, please don't misunderstand..."

Seeing this, Yu Li seemed flustered, as if her lover had discovered some unspeakable secret.

She hastened to clarify: "Recently a matchmaker came to my house to propose marriage, saying that we would meet this weekend. I went to meet their family today."

“But I really don’t think highly of their family!”

As she spoke, Yu Li turned her head and cast a dissatisfied look at Yan Jiecheng with a firm tone.

"Comrade Yan Jiecheng, I have made my position clear."
