Chapter 457: Chapter 311 Chasing the Matchmaker_2

She wanted to vent on the workers again, but it seemed like they were avoiding her.

With no one around to vent her feelings to, she could only fill her stomach with food, which somewhat soothed her mood.

Mrs. Lai, just like yesterday, had breakfast and then had the workers place a reclining chair at the entrance of the courtyard, facing the construction next door. Today, she did not curse.

The cursing of the past two days had left many blisters on her mouth, and the constant anger at home had exhausted her both physically and mentally.

Today, there was a faint sunshine, and there were a few clouds in the sky that looked like rain; the weather was much warmer than the previous days.

The workers next door were already feeling hot enough to wear thin clothes.

Just when the house had quieted down a bit, an unwelcome guest came in.

The visitor greeted her with a trademark smile:

"Sister-in-law, are you sunbathing?"

Mrs. Lai looked up at the visitor, a woman from the village, whose husband’s surname was Jian. As for her own original surname, Mrs. Lai did not bother to remember.

She only knew that this person was also one of the village’s matchmakers. Although her appearance was a bit more decent than Matchmaker Zhang’s, everyone in the village knew she was a matchmaker.

The woman had a tall and thin body, an ordinary face, no makeup, ordinary clothes, and fairly white skin.

Although one should not slap a smiling face, these past two days, merely seeing a matchmaker made Mrs. Lai’s first reaction to throw her out.

"What are you here for? Someone come, throw this person out!"

Mrs. Lai suddenly shouted loudly, attracting the attention not only of the people at the door but also of everyone in the house.

"Sister-in-law, don’t shout, don’t shout, I really had no choice but to come, but I am here for a good cause. Why aren’t you happy?"

Sister-in-law Jian and everyone in the village knew that Mrs. Lai didn’t like her granddaughter and had agreed to an arranged marriage; she shouldn’t have had such a strong reaction!

This topic, from yesterday to today, had spread throughout the village, and wherever people gathered, they secretly discussed it.

Of course, the women were more gossipy, and there were also gamblers discussing whether Ye Zhiwei’s proposal for his son was motivated by another family’s property.

In just two or three years, Hongji not only obtained shares in a factory but also bought land on three estates.

His wealth was substantial by any rich man’s standards, and his rising influence made his daughter a highly sought-after match.

People were eyeing her from such a young age, clearly aiming at the benefits of the marriage.

Just two days ago, there had been an argument between the two families about this proposal, and some were betting that Hongji would definitely not agree.

"Big brother, let’s switch, let our parents propose to Hongji for his daughter, and propose to the Tang Family girl for me."

Ye Zhengxiong ultimately couldn’t keep his thoughts to himself, and that was why he had come to see his older brother.

"No, our parents have already asked the matchmaker to prepare the proposal, and she spoke of me, as I am the eldest son.

I can’t afford to wait any longer to marry, but you, younger brother, said you wanted to wait a few more years before marrying. It just suits your intentions."

As the eldest brother, how could he give up his own interests and let his younger brother have everything?

From birth, it was predetermined that the eldest son would inherit the business, and that was what his father and family also believed and how they raised him.

As for Ye Zhengxiong, a brother and competitor for the family business, who would foolishly give up a prospective wife to his brother?

Over the years, the family and he had consistently sought a bride with a significant background.

As for the younger brother, being a second son, he should not marry a woman with a background more prominent than his own wife’s, as it would overshadow him, and he would never agree to it.

Thinking his younger brother was too proud, Hongji’s daughter was indeed not bad, only a bit young.

Being able to marry such a girl was already a stroke of luck for him, yet he was unwilling... and he dared to be so maintaining!

Ye Zhengxiong..., with an angry look from his older brother, felt powerless as he couldn’t persuade him, sensing that nobody in the family listened to him, and feeling superfluous!

But he was absolutely unwilling to compromise easily; doing so would make a mockery of himself!

He left angrily, feeling the whole family was scheming against him, returned to his own house, and drank alone.

When Matchmaker Zhang came to propose for his daughter, Hongji came back home for dinner in the evening and knew from his mother’s sarcastic comments that she was very angry.

These people were really too wicked; he had already declined previous proposals.
