Chapter 143: Chapter 130: High Standards (4K for Monthly Pass Vote)_2

The next day, Yixiu visited the pastry kitchen and had a roundabout conversation with Lady Xu and Lady Wong.

According to them, Wan Dazhong’s father was Wan Lizheng’s younger brother, who left to make his fortune when he was just a teenager. He only came back a few years ago, admitting he hadn’t achieved much success outside and his wife had died, so he returned to Darong Village with his son to settle down.

The father and son had always made a living by hunting. Since they were both quite skilled, they managed to hunt plenty of game and lived quite comfortably.

In the past two years, as Dazhong grew older, his father bought more than ten mu of farmland and rebuilt their tile-roofed house, saying it was time to find Dazhong a bride.

Despite being a bit dark-skinned, Dazhong was handsome, skilled, and his family had some wealth, so many young women wanted to marry him. However, he was quite picky, wanting someone fair and attractive, which is why he was still unmarried.

Lady Xu said, "I heard from my mother-in-law that one of her nieces had her eye on him. They tried to arrange a match, but Dazhong wasn’t interested, complaining that the girl was too dark."

Lady Wong said, "You’re talking about Four Lady, aren’t you? I think Four Lady looks quite nice, not that dark really, just not very fair."

"Exactly," Lady Xu replied, "For a peasant girl like Four Lady, she’s considered delicate. If you want someone with skin that’s not at all dark, you have to look for a landlord’s daughter."

Upon hearing this, Yixiu inwardly scoffed several times, thinking how one crow was calling another black, not even looking at oneself in the mirror. Wanting a fair and lovely girl – he shouldn’t even dream about her mother, let alone her aunt. Pah, what a lecher.

Then they heard Lady Wong say, "Not necessarily, look at Auntie Xia, she never tans no matter how much she’s in the sun."

"Exactly," Lady Xu said, then suddenly added, "It seems like a couple of months ago Dazhong even asked a matchmaker about Auntie Xia, right?"

Yixiu sneered, "He’s so old and still dares to covet my aunt. Pah."

With that, Lady Xu and Lady Wong didn’t dare say much more.

However, Wan Dazhong hadn’t come to work at their house, nor had he come to collect the wages for the work he did yesterday. This finally put Yixiu at ease.

Even though her plan had made her aunt cry and she hadn’t spoken to her for a whole day, getting rid of that man made everything worth it.

Two days later, Steward Wong unexpectedly visited the Qian family. Qian Sangui, supported by Qian Manxia, came out to the main hall.

Steward Wong looked troubled and just stared at Qian Sangui without speaking.

Qian Sangui anxiously said, "Old Wong, what’s wrong? If there’s anything I’ve neglected, please speak frankly."

Steward Wong snorted coldly and said, "I still need to say it out loud? I never realized that your family was so ungrateful. After climbing up the social ladder, you just kicked us to the curb."

Qian Sangui was frightened into a violent coughing fit.

Seeing Steward Wong’s stern face looking for Qian Sangui, Yixiu knew something was up. She was too busy before to think much about it and just let Shopkeeper Cui go to Capital City to deliver sausages to Fourth Master Song for a business deal. It was only yesterday that she remembered there was an untouchable god on the other side of the river.

She quickly sent Lady Wu to buy a pig’s leg from Xie Huzi, and had Qian Xiaoyu and her brother stuff some sausages to dry.

Steward Wong continued, "I have just returned from Capital City, and Shopkeeper Cui actually took sausages to my Fourth Master, saying he wanted to do some sausage business. With such an opportunity, you didn’t come to me but instead went out of your way to give it to Shopkeeper Cui. You, you, you really haven’t acted properly."

Yixiu, who had followed in, quickly smiled and said, "Old Wong, you’ve misunderstood. We gave the sausages to Shopkeeper Cui for a business partnership to sell them in Capital City. He gave a few to Fourth Master Song, which we only learned about afterward. Look," she pointed to a string of sausages hanging under the eaves, "these are prepared for Old Wong and the Old Madame of the Song family in Capital City. We were planning to send them over once they dried. But now that Old Wong has personally come over today, that’s even better, saving us another trip."

Qian Sangui repeatedly apologized and promised to remember in the future to think of Old Wong first regarding such good opportunities.

Steward Wong’s expression finally lightened up a bit, and he explained that on the day of Sangui’s incident, both he and his elder son had gone to Capital City and his younger son lacked experience. Otherwise, their influence in Xishan County wasn’t any weaker than Shopkeeper Cui’s, insisting they could’ve ensured the Qian brothers came to no harm, and so on.

At noon, they invited him to stay for lunch and have some drinks, and when he left, they packed the sausages into a carriage for him.
