Chapter 778: The Thoughtless Jia Zhangshi
Hearing this, Jia Zhangshi said guiltily: "I'm doing this for my son too. Your Li Mei is pretty and has a good personality, and she's a city girl, she's more than a match for my Jia Dongxu! My son is also very satisfied. If you agree to this marriage, our Jia Dongxu will definitely send you a dowry, and even give you thirty thousand yuan as a bride price!"
By saying this, Jia Zhangshi was actually giving the Li family a way out.
Unfortunately, Li's mother didn't appreciate it. She pointed at Jia Zhangshi angrily:
"Jia Zhangshi, do you feel no shame saying that? Your Jia Dongxu is a good-for-nothing. Bride price? I think there's not even a dime. Your family can't afford anything, yet you're still puffing up your cheeks to look fat!"
"You!" Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi was instantly furious, pointing at Li's mother: "Don't be ungrateful, our Jia family is not inferior to that Wan Ping'an."
Li's father also said angrily: "What do you mean by that? How is First Elder Wan Ping'an not better than your Jia Dongxu?"
"That Wan Ping'an is just not as good as my Dongxu. I'm telling you, I don't agree to this marriage today, even if Wan Ping'an kneels down and begs me, it won't work!" Jia Zhangshi shouted viciously, then turned and left.
Li's father and mother had never encountered such a shrewish attitude from Jia Zhangshi, and they were both frightened.
"Damn it!" At this moment, Matchmaker Wang, who was on the side, exclaimed and hurriedly chased after her.
Matchmaker Wang chased her for a long distance before grabbing Jia Zhangshi and asking: "Aunt Jia, what are you doing?"
Jia Zhangshi said breathlessly: "What am I doing? Of course, I'm stopping Wan Ping'an and Li Mei's blind date! I don't believe the Li family would dare to force me, Jia Zhangshi? The Li family has no shame, but our family has shame."
After hearing Jia Zhangshi's words, Matchmaker Wang couldn't help but curse inwardly: "If your family had any shame, would the whole Sihe Academy dislike you? It's already good enough that you have a blind date, yet your family is still so picky!"
Although she thought this in her heart, Matchmaker Wang still put on a smiling face on the surface:
"Aunt Jia, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that this matter was bad."
"My meaning is that it's not very appropriate for you to do this..."
"What's inappropriate about it? Could it be that our Jia family isn't good enough for them?" Jia Zhangshi immediately became unhappy and shouted.
"Of course not, but you also know what kind of person that Wan Ping'an is. Li Mei is almost a civil servant, don't you think this is ruining her?" Matchmaker Wang advised.

"That's certainly true. You also think that Wan Ping'an is no good, right? I'll go back and talk to my son again. As long as my son likes her, it'll be fine. I'll find a way to play matchmaker," Jia Zhangshi said stubbornly.
"Aunt Jia, as the saying goes, a forced melon is not sweet. I think if you force Li Mei like this, I'm afraid she'd rather not marry than live a good life with your son!" Matchmaker Wang continued to advise.
Jia Zhangshi gave a cold laugh and said disdainfully: "Then we have no choice, anyway my son must be with her."
"Sigh, you... I'm telling you, Aunt Jia, you're really not being decent. The girl doesn't want to go on a blind date, and you're forcing her to. If this gets out, won't people be pointing fingers at you?" Matchmaker Wang advised while sighing.
She knew that Jia Zhangshi was doing this entirely for Jia Dongxu's sake, without any regard for others at all.
Jia Zhangshi became impatient and said: "Pointing fingers? I don't care about them! Who told Li Mei she didn't want to marry my son? Since she's looking for death herself, she can't blame our family. Our family has thrown caution to the wind, and we'll marry her into our home by next spring! At that time, we'll see who has the better ability!" ===== CHAPTER 780 =====
