40 -40 Talking about a Marriage Proposal
As soon as they arrived, they completely disrupted the household.
“How much money does she want?” Bai Xue thought about it and still decided to solve the problem with money.
“Two hundred!” Bai Jianshe held up two fingers
“What?
Is she going to rob a bank or something?”
“You can say that again!” Bai Jianshe spat on the ground, “Sis, in my opinion, we shouldn’t give them the money.
We can just celebrate the New Year here and hide out for a while.
After the New Year, when things have cooled down, we can go back!”
“You think this is just debt collection?
That it’ll blow over?” In a village where we see each other all the time come morning or evening.
Moreover, she’s an unwed girl who lost her virtue and got pregnant.
How could she not seek retribution?
“Then you give her the money!” Bai Jianshe hit exactly where Bai Xue felt vulnerable.
“I…
Where would I get the money from!” She was really about to be driven mad by her good-for-nothing brother, “Just stay for a couple days first, and we can decide based on how things go!”
“Alright!” Bai Jianshe agreed immediately.
So the matter was settled for the time being.
Seeing that it was getting late, Bai Xue wanted to go arrange their accommodation but was stopped by the old lady, “Xue, this issue is minor and will pass sooner or later.
Right now, we have a more pressing matter!”
At the mention of a pressing matter by the old lady, Bai Xue nearly fainted.
The ‘minor issue’ she mentioned was enough to give her a headache for days, so what could be worse than a ‘pressing matter’?
Was this not tantamount to killing her?
“Mom, what else is there?
You’re not planning to take your daughter’s life, are you?”
“Look at what you’re saying!” The old lady glared at her in dissatisfaction, “We’ve come here a few times, you see if it annoys you.”
“Alright, Mom, just say it!” The sooner it was out, the better.
If it could be handled, she would do so; if not, what could she do?
At worst, she’d just listen to the old lady’s nagging for a while and be done with it.
The old lady nodded, and slowly and leisurely started, “Our Fengzi isn’t getting any younger.
I’ve been thinking about finding him a marriage match.”
Bai Xue looked at the old lady without saying a word, knowing she must have more to say.
Indeed, the old lady paused and then continued, “I have taken a fancy to An Hao, this girl.
You figure out a way to matchmake them!”
“What?” Bai Xue’s eyes bulged out like brass bells, “You’ve taken a fancy to An Hao?
I advise you to drop that idea!
That girl is fierce and has a bad temper, erupting like a can of gunpowder when agitated.
Who could bear that?”
Additionally, there had been commotion just a few days ago, and to be honest, she was still somewhat wary of that girl.
“No, I don’t agree!”
“I don’t agree either!”
Bai Jianshe and Niu Cuihua both stood up in opposition.
That little girl was too formidable, and marrying her might lead to constant quarreling.
They didn’t want to bring such a tough daughter-in-law into the family.
“All of you shut up!” The old lady shouted, and the room instantly fell quiet, “You’re all blind.
I’ve asked Yanjiao, and she said that An Hao knows how to make candied haws.

Last time she went to the market, she made sales of more than twenty in a day.
That’s the monthly living expenses for ordinary folks like us.
Wouldn’t marrying such a capable bride save us a lot of effort?”
“That girl can’t stand me, and she thinks too highly of herself.
Would she even fancy someone from our family?” There’s no need even to think about it, it’s one hundred percent impossible.
“Then let’s make it ‘a done deal before she knows it’!” The old lady had already thought it through.
If her grandson Bai Yufeng slept with An Hao, she’d have to accept her fate, wouldn’t she?
