010: Want to marry me? _1

Li Shu immediately put down her chopsticks, "Brother Jinbao, my cousin is here! You better go open the door!"

Lady Mu urged anxiously, "Hurry up! Don't keep him waiting!"

Lady Mu was afraid that the 200 yuan would sprout wings and fly away.

"Alright." Mu Jinbao put down his bowl and chopsticks and quickly ran to the door.

Li Shu looked up at Ni Yang, a triumphant glimmer in her eyes.

Little wretch, you have nowhere to run now, do you?

You're going to be taken away by an old bachelor today.

Suddenly--

She met a pair of radiant eyes, shining bright like the stars, Ni Yang gave a faint smile, the corners of her mouth curling up into a light arc. This pure, untainted smile could reveal the true nature of anything sordid.

Her eyes were filled with clarity.

So radiant and confident!

She doesn't look like a naive girl brought up in a tiny village.

Li Shu felt an inexplicable shiver and quickly averted her gaze, her hollowed out throat swallowing as if she were a child who had done something wrong.

This is insanity!

How can this little village girl possess such a gaze?

Li Shu frowned, filled with bewilderment, she found it hard to discern whether that scene was an illusion or real.

Li Shu suppressed her chills and looked at Ni Yang again.

Li Shu, with her forehead crinkled, looked back at Ni Yang who sat opposite her.

Today, Ni Yang wore that pink dress gifted by Lady Mu. The dress was rather simple with long-sleeves and a doll-collar, reaching down to her ankles.

Yet, such an old-fashioned dress somehow made Ni Yang look vibrantly classic. The sunlight streaming in from outside illuminated her, making her seem like a fairy high up in the clouds.

Li Shu always believed her beloved daughter, Li Xianxian, was the most beautiful, but at this moment, she had to admit that if Li Xianxian were to stand beside Ni Yang, she'd probably go unnoticed.

At this moment, the sounds outside the door became increasingly clear.

"This way, this way, follow me." That was Mu Jinbao's fawning voice.

In a short while, Mu Jinbao ushered the man in.

The man standing next to Mu Jinbao looked about sixty years old, with a belly bigger than Li Shu's. His shiny bald head and rodent eyes darted everywhere. When he smiled, a mouthful of big yellow teeth was revealed.

Yes.

This was Li Shu's distant cousin.

Mu Jinbao smilingly introduced, "Mom, this is Wang Dazhuang. Dazhuang, this is my mom, this is my wife Ni Cuihua and this one is Yangyang."

Upon seeing Ni Yang, Wang Dazhuang's eyes instantly lit up.

This young girl is so pretty.

It's a bargain to buy her back for 200 yuan!

Wang Dazhuang swallowed his saliva, moved his gaze away from Ni Yang and greeted everyone in the room, "Hello Granny, hello Auntie! I'm Wang Dazhuang!"

Being addressed as 'Granny' by someone of a similar age didn't bother Lady Mu at all. She even reciprocated with a smile, "Very good! So you're Dazhuang, you're quite a spirited young man!"

Ni Yang almost laughed at this comment.

A spirited young man?

Lady Mu doesn't feel guilty for saying this?

Seeing Wang Dazhuang, Ni Cuihua was so terrified, she found herself shaking uncontrollably.

This is too much!

Lady Mu and Mu Jinbao are too heartless!

Do they even have a conscience?

They're actually selling their own granddaughter, their own daughter, to a man like this!

Fortunately, she had already decided to divorce Mu Jinbao.

Once again seeing Wang Dazhuang, Ni Yang looked calm on the outside but a storm was brewing within.

She wishes she could rip Wang Dazhuang into pieces with her bare hands.

But reason tells her she can't.

Wang Dazhuang turns his gaze to Ni Yang, "Yangyang, I'm Wang Dazhuang! I'm here to take you home!"

Ni Yang slightly lifts her head, "Sir, why did you come alone? Didn't your son come with you?"

Sir?

She actually called him Sir!

Wang Dazhuang looks at Ni Yang in disbelief.

Ni Yang says in surprise: "Sir, aren't you here for your son's matchmaking event?"

Wang Dazhuang becomes incredibly embarrassed!

He's a eunuch, where would he get a son from?

The matriarch of the Mu family looks at Ni Yang unhappily, "How could you speak like that! Dazhuang is your intended match!" Then she turns to Wang Dazhuang with a compassionate look, "Dazhuang, don't be upset, Yangyang speaks without intending to hurt you!"

She is afraid that Ni Yang has ticked off Wang Dazhuang, and that 200 yuan will be wasted!

Wang Dazhuang laughs, "Why would I be angry? There's nothing to be upset about."

Ni Yang is so beautiful, it's probably impossible to find another like her in ten miles.

If he could really take Ni Yang back, he would be the one who's benefited! At that time, who knows how envious the other men in the village will be!

"Oh," Ni Yang looks at Wang Dazhuang, "So you're Wang Dazhu, right?"

"Yes, yes, I am!" Wang Dazhu hastily nods.

Ni Yang looks Wang Dazhu up and down, her eyes filled with ridicule, "Someone like you, also dreaming to touch a swan?"

"What are you babbling about you ungrateful girl!" The old lady from the Mu family stands up in anger, "I think you and Dazhuang are a match made in heaven, a perfect couple, Dazhuang is a very promising young man, how could he not be good enough for you? If anyone's not good enough, it's you who's not good enough for Dazhuang!"

Li Shu quickly says: "That's right, cousin, my aunt is right, don't be angry, Yangyang is still a child, she speaks without thinking."

Wang Dazhuang won't get angry, he casually waves his hand, slaps two hundred yuan on the table, and then says: "Can I take her away now?"

No matter how tough or thorny Ni Yang is right now, he has his ways to handle her!

"Hold on!" The old lady from the Mu family speaks up at a critical moment.

"What's wrong?" Wang Dazhuang says: "I've paid the money, do you have any doubts?"

The old lady from the Mu family continues: "You can't take her away right now."

"Why?" Wang Dazhuang becomes impatient.

The old lady from the Mu family says righteously: "Although our Mu family is poor, we can't resort to selling our daughters..."

Just when Ni Cuihua thought that the old lady from the Mu family had a change of heart, she hears the old lady continue: "If you really like Yangyang, get a matchmaker and marry her!"

Selling and marrying are two different things.

Once sold, the ties will be cut cleanly, but if married, Wang Dazhuang will have to call the old lady from the Mu family "Grandma" from now on.

The old lady from the Mu family has figured out that Wang Dazhuang is a man of wealth.

How could the Mu family cut ties with such a wealthy man?

She plans to squeeze every last bit of value out of Ni Yang.

"Fine." Even though Wang Dazhuang wants to hold the beauty in his arms, he's not in a rush either.

"Additionally," the old lady from the Mu family changes her tone, "When marrying a daughter, you should give a dowry. Our Mu family is not that kind of shameless people, just give one thousand as the dowry."

A thousand?

Wang Dazhuang opens his eyes wide in surprise!

This old lady from the Mu family is really asking for the moon.

The old lady from the Mu family looks at Wang Dazhuang, "What? You're not willing? If you're not willing, then forget about this marriage! After all, my Yangyang is such a beauty, it's not like she can't get married."

The old lady from the Mu family knows that Wang Dazhuang is definitely reluctant to let go of Ni Yang, that's why she dared to ask for a sky-high price of a thousand yuan!

Li Shu also looks at the old lady from the Mu family in shock.

She really didn't expect this old lady to be so cruel, asking for a thousand yuan right off the bat.

Wang Dazhuang hesitates for a moment, then grits his teeth and says: "Alright, a thousand it is!"

Ni Yang is so beautiful, a thousand yuan is worth it!
