Chapter 447: Chapter 308: Caring for Her

Mrs. Li, who was usually so gentle and never got angry or fought with anyone, was often very forbearing towards others.

Had her daughters not beaten the matchmaker with sticks, given her temperament, she might have just scolded the matchmaker and told her to go back and stop discussing the matter.

When her daughters took action, she, as their mother, could no longer hold back her anger and was quite unreserved in hitting back.

Mrs. Lai, who hadn’t heard clearly what they were talking about in the courtyard, only saw her granddaughters beating the matchmaker with sticks, then saw her daughter-in-law hitting the matchmaker. The pent-up frustration and anger of the last two days made her irresistibly joyful and relieved, her chubby hands clapping:

"Hit her, hit her, scare her so much she never dares to come back to arrange another match."

Matchmaker Zhang, having just been chased by Mrs. Lai in the yard without getting hit, thought only someone as rough as Mrs. Lai would act in such a manner.

Mrs. Li’s character was well known in the village, she was absolutely not someone who would resort to violence when angry, and she hadn’t expected such bad luck today, being hit first by her own daughters and then by the female homeowner.

Matchmaker Zhang had been matchmaking for so many years, but had never encountered such misfortune.

Other families would simply verbally decline, or at worst throw a few sarcastic remarks, but getting physically beaten was a first.

Matchmaker Zhang felt that earning money was not as precious as life, her husband earned a good wage working for the Ye family, and she thought this matchmaking job would be a good opportunity. Little did she know, it was a trap.

Matchmaker Zhang thought about the children’s quarrels, which had just occurred two days prior, thinking it was just the children playing around.

She had never imagined that matchmaking could nearly cost her her life. Previously, she hadn’t resisted, thinking it was just childish behavior, hopeful that the adults would agree.

When even someone as gentle as Mrs. Li resorted to violence, Matchmaker Zhang felt a bad premonition. For the sake of her safety, she pushed aside one of the children and escaped from the yard in disarray.

In the yard, Mrs. Lai saw Matchmaker Zhang running out, continuously cursing: "Damn matchmaker, get out, get out!"

Matchmaker Zhang didn’t dare say a word, and scurried off, dejected.

The incident at the Ye family’s house, with the matchmaker being chased out after being beaten, intrigued everyone with a gossip-seeking mindset, secretly approaching Matchmaker Zhang to find out what happened.

Matchmaker Zhang, having been beaten and unable to conclude the deal, only received a deposit; she couldn’t get the rest of the money. The rich woman from Ye Zhiwei’s family scolded her for being useless, saying she had to manage somehow or return the deposit.

Matchmaker Zhang was unwilling, as she was quite sore from being beaten and the small deposit wasn’t even enough to buy medicine.

The rich woman threatened her to go back and try again.

Matchmaker Zhang didn’t dare; she didn’t want to be beaten again. At the doctor’s, the bruises on her body led her to unwittingly complain a bit, almost revealing everything.

Rumors began to spread in Bushen Village that Wealthy Ye Zhiwei’s second son sought to be engaged to Hongji’s eldest daughter.

The rich man and his son’s engagement traditionally matched well-status-wise, even with the same surname, they could be related through marriage.

It was just that the contradictions revealed a couple of days earlier made people speculate about Wealthy Ye Zhiwei’s unscrupulous intentions, especially as his second son’s character was not considered good.

In Bushi Village, many women would rather marry a farmer than a rich man’s son; people generally held the view that a rich man’s son had shady morals and lacked good traits, detesting those who indulged in gambling and prostitution the most.

After the matchmaker left, Ye Luoqi initially stood still, then started crying silently!

Ye Shiqi and her three elder sisters put down their sticks and gathered around their elder sister, comforting her.

Mrs. Li, seeing her eldest daughter’s tears, also felt distressed. It was her fault for not protecting her daughter enough, letting her suffer such indignity!

Mrs. Lai, not having heard exactly what Matchmaker Zhang said, felt distressed upon seeing her eldest granddaughter cry, contrasting with the thrill of seeing the other granddaughters hitting Matchmaker Zhang, felt bad again.

"What are you crying for? Crying with a mournful face in the new year, no wonder we are so unlucky!"

Mrs. Li, looking displeased at her mother-in-law, countered her:

"Mother-in-law, how can you talk to the children like that!"

"Hmph, did I say something wrong?" Mrs. Lai, angrily pointing at Mrs. Li and all her granddaughters, rebuked them all.

"Wuu wuu wuu"

Ye Luoqi cried aloud, her tears, pitifully flowing.

Ye Shiqi and her other sisters glared at their grandmother. Their expressions were fuming as they looked at their grandmother’s obnoxious antics, supporting their sister as they went back to her room.

Mrs. Lai, faced with such looks from her granddaughters, continued to scold unabatedly.
