577 Only One Daughter
“I’ll go…” Qiao Yu said as she wiped her face with her sleeve.
Since she could not avoid it, she would just have to accept her fate. The truth was right in front of her, only these people had the final say.
Wang Qin beamed with joy and said, “That’s great! Come! Come to my room! I’ll help you get cleaned up! I promise you’ll look beautiful!”
Qiao Yu followed behind Wang Qin silently. When Qiao Yu was done dressing up, Wang Qin and Liu Ying held Qiao Yu’s hands and entered the house.
Before she even saw the matchmaker, Wang Qin started shouting, “Come and take a look! The beautiful daughter from our family!”
The matchmaker put down the pastry in her hand and sized Qiao Yu up seriously. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the person in front of her was all skin and bones and her face was sickly pale. If such a person married into the Guo family, Old Guo would cut her matchmaker’s fees!
“This is the… sixth child of your family, Miss Qiao Yu?” the matchmaker said doubtfully.
Wang Qin nodded and said, “That’s right, this is Qiao Yu. Are you satisfied with her?”
“I remember you say that there are other girls? Bring them over for me to take a look as well!” the matchmaker said with a smile.
Liu Ying’s face instantly fell. She had thought that the matchmaker was only here for Qiao Yu, and she did not expect her to ask to see Qiao Hua.
If the matchmaker saw Qiao Hua, she would definitely settle for Qiao Hua. At that time, no matter how capable Liu Ying was, she would not be able to bring Qiao Hua back.
“There’s no one else! She’s the only daughter! Don’t tell me you think there’s something wrong with our Qiao Yu?” Liu Ying asked.
“Didn’t Wang Qin tell me that the granddaughter of the family is also of age? I’m doing this for your own good. If the Guo family asks me how many daughters you have and how many I’ve seen and whether I choose carefully, won’t it be hard for me to answer? I hope you can understand my difficulty,” the matchmaker said.
Wang Qin immediately asked Qiao Gui to remove Liu Ying from the living room. She must get this matter done! As long as Qiao Zhuang was on her side, even an immortal could not help Liu Ying!
“Yes, yes, yes. That’s our eldest granddaughter, Qiao Hua. She looks like a flower, just like her name! She’s in the other room now! Should I bring her here?” Wang Qin asked tentatively.
At this moment, Liu Ying broke free from Qiao Gui’s grip and laughed crazily. “You shameless animals! You want to see my Xiao Hua! Dream on!”
“What does this mean? Is she crazy?” The matchmaker looked at Liu Ying in horror.
Wang Qin stomped her feet anxiously and scolded angrily, “Take her away quickly! Bring Qiao Hua here!”
Liu Ying pointed at Wang Qin and said, “Qiao Hua has long left! All of you won’t be able to find her for the rest of your lives! I’m telling you, I will never let you ruin my daughter!”
Liu Ying was not a fool. She had long expected Wang Qin to have designs on Qiao Hua. Instead of letting Qiao Hua sit at home and wait for her doom, it was better to let Qiao Hua go far away and never come back.
“Where did you bring Qiao Hua!” Wang Qin asked.
“Don’t ask anymore. I won’t tell you. Even if you beat me to death! I won’t tell you!” Liu Ying stuck her neck out and shouted.
In Qiao Zhuang’s whole life, he had never felt so ashamed before. He raised his stick and was about to hit her.
Liu Ying did not dodge. She just stood there and glared at Qiao Zhuang as she shouted, “Come on! Beat me to death and everything will be over!”
As the saying went, bad-tempered people were not as scary as people who did not fear death. When one was not even afraid of dying, one was no longer afraid of anything.
“You people deal with your family matters first! I’m leaving now!” The matchmaker hurriedly ran towards the door.
Liu Ying grabbed her and said, “Go back and tell the Guo family that Qiao Zhuang only has one daughter, Qiao Yu. Regardless of whether they want to go through with the marriage, she is the only one available. Ask them to make their decision!”
The matchmaker was so frightened that she quickly nodded and disappeared with a whoosh.
She felt that she was really unlucky today. It was clearly supposed to be a joyous occasion, but it just did not go well. Once she returned to the Guo family, she would explain everything to them in detail. It was not that she could not conclude the arrangements for this marriage, but it was that Qiao Zhuang’s family had really gone too far.
Even all the village chiefs had to be nice to her, but Qiao Zhuang’s family could cause such a mess. She did not know if she would be able to keep her job as a matchmaker!
