Chapter 1068: Chapter 1068: Ruthless Waters 1

Jin Cuihua grabbed Guan Cheng and, like beans spilling out of a bamboo tube, told him the purpose of her visit today.

After listening attentively, Guan Cheng politely replied, "Thank you, Aunt, for your concern. I share the same view as Auntie, so please convey my refusal to the Wang Family on my behalf. Just tell them that Guan Cheng is unvirtuous and incapable, with old-fashioned thinking; I will never abandon my ancestral family name. I have a younger brother to support, so I ask them to seek another suitable son-in-law."

In reality, the most crucial reason was that he did not like Wang Lingzhi.

Wang Lingzhi was his classmate, who had started writing love letters to him three years ago, but he had rejected her.

"Why are you so stubborn, child?" Jin Cuihua felt helpless. "Lingzhi is gentle and honest, everyone in the surrounding ten miles raises their thumbs in approval when mentioning her. She wouldn’t stop you from continuing to support your brother, so what are you worried about?"

Guan Cheng insisted, "Please help me with the refusal."

Even if Wang Lingzhi were as perfect as a ’Heavenly Immortal’, it would be irrelevant to him. He wanted to find a partner who would make his heart flutter, not just marry anyone for the sake of producing offspring.

"Well, then, I’ll go back and explain things clearly to the Lingzhi family," said Jin Cuihua as she stood up.

Feng Qingxue escorted her to the door, "I’m sorry, sister-in-law, for troubling you with my family’s matters."

Jin Cuihua sighed, "I know your children are different from us country folks, but I still have to say, now that the schools have stopped classes and there’s no chance of getting into university, one has to be realistic. Tianjun is in the army, so it goes without saying that he can find someone in the army. But the other kids shouldn’t have such high standards."

Feng Qingxue was unhappy to hear this.

"Who says my children are too picky? Isn’t it right to be cautious about something as important as marriage? After all, two people have to live together for a lifetime, so naturally, they’d want to find someone compatible who they know well," she said.

Jin Cuihua thought for a moment, "That makes sense. Alright, I’ll have a word with the Wang and Liu families."

It was Jin Cuihua’s first time playing matchmaker, and she felt a bit disappointed that she hadn’t succeeded. She first went to the Wang Family and earnestly explained the situation to Wang Xinlai’s wife and Wang Lingzhi, focusing on the attitudes of Feng Qingxue and Guan Cheng.

"Didn’t I tell you before? Guan Cheng is our ten-mile radius’s capable man. Aside from delivering babies, who doesn’t seek him out for minor illnesses or when someone breaks an arm or leg? He’s both capable and filial, as caring for his siblings as if they were his own. There are already plenty of families eyeing him, not just yours. Besides, how many ambitious young men would be willing to marry into a woman’s family? I remember Aunt Fengqin and her sisters-in-law asked Guan Cheng several times due to others’ requests, but he never agreed. You didn’t believe it and insisted that I make this visit!"

Jin Cuihua thought the Wang Xinlai couple probably made the marriage proposal because they felt that Wang Lingzhi was both talented and beautiful, the only female high school student in Wanglou Brigade, ten times better than the girls Miao Fengqin and Wang Fengqiao had mentioned.

Wang Lingzhi stopped the shoe she was sewing and bit her lower lip, "Auntie, is it really Guan Cheng who said he didn’t want this?"

"Yes! It was Guan Cheng who said it. I met him just in time." Jin Cuihua looked at Wang Lingzhi’s fair face, reluctant to witness the sadness appearing in her expressive eyes, "I told you before that this wouldn’t work out. Before Qingxue came back home, Aunt Fengqin and her sisters-in-law spoke directly to Guan Cheng and were outright rejected. They are Qingxue’s close relatives, and if Guan Cheng can refuse them so flatly, what about me? This shows that Guan Cheng is definitely not going to marry into a woman’s family."
