Chapter 90

Jia Zhang saw it, and her face was blacker than the pot.

Jia Dongxu was her son, but he had never treated her so attentively!

She was envious, jealous, and hateful!

Matchmaker Zhang smiled.

The marriage was a success!

Jia Dongxu valued Qin Huairu so much and was so attentive that even if Jia Zhang opposed it, Jia Dongxu would definitely insist strongly on marrying Qin Huairu!

"Huairu, you've been standing outside for half a day, you must be tired, your legs are sore, right?"

"Come, sit down quickly."

Under the gaze of Jia’s father, Jia’s mother, and Matchmaker Zhang.

Jia Dongxu moved a stool for Qin Huairu.

"This water isn't hot anymore, wait a moment, I'll go boil some hot water for you."

Jia Dongxu touched the water cup.

"No need, I'm not thirsty!"

Qin Huairu shook her head coldly.

"Dongxu, stop embarrassing yourself!"

Jia Zhang was very annoyed.

When had Jia Dongxu ever fawned over her like this?

Never!

She had never thought that under her high pressure, Jia Dongxu’s closeness to her was minimal, and there was more wariness toward her.

"Little Qin, are you okay?"

Matchmaker Zhang had a major discovery.

Qin Huairu went out to watch the excitement once, and when she came back, her attitude toward Jia Dongxu had turned cold.

What happened?

"Dongxu, what was going on outside just now?"

Matchmaker Zhang was very curious.

What factor caused Qin Huairu’s attitude to change suddenly?

"It's the one surnamed Wan in the backyard, he grew a kind of golden rice."

Jia Dongxu said lightly.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Where is there golden rice?"

Jia Zhang lectured her son; how old are you, why are you still talking nonsense?

"It is golden rice!"

Qin Huairu said, spreading her palm.

Jia Zhang’s eyes lit up on the spot; gold?

In the palm of Qin Huairu’s hand was a piece of gold the size of a grain of rice, and the shape was also like a grain of rice. She was certain it must be gold.

"Mom, it really is golden rice, we all tasted it!"

Jia Dongxu guaranteed.

Under the guarantee of both, Jia Zhang reluctantly believed that Wan Ping'an had grown a kind of golden rice, gritting her teeth with a ferocious expression.

She hated Wan Ping'an!

The better Wan Ping'an’s life was, the more uncomfortable she felt!

The matchmaking continued.

Qin Huairu’s attitude toward Jia Dongxu became colder and colder.

"Matchmaker Zhang..."

Jia Zhang finally couldn't help it.

"What's going on?"

She didn't like Qin Huairu and didn't want Jia Dongxu to marry her.

But Qin Huairu ignored Jia Dongxu, and she couldn't stand it. She was the one who didn't like Qin Huairu, she couldn't let Qin Huairu dump Jia Dongxu.

At the same time.

He Yuzhu moved a chair and sat at his door.

His two eyes locked onto the Jia family’s door.

He still wanted to see Qin Huairu one more time, and even more, he wanted the Jia family’s matchmaking to fail, so he could find Matchmaker Zhang; he had taken a liking to Qin Huairu at first sight.

The Jia family.

"Huairu, I need to go to the toilet, accompany me."

Being questioned by Jia Zhang, Matchmaker Zhang was also very annoyed.

Qin Huairu’s attitude was problematic.

Jia Dongxu was too cold.

Too perfunctory!

The two walked out of the Jia house.

He Yuzhu’s eyes lit up, and he looked at Qin Huairu again.

The Jia family.

Matchmaker Zhang and Qin Huairu had just gone out, and Jia Zhang started to flare up.

"Jia Dongxu, aren't you embarrassed?"

"Have you never seen a woman in your life?"

"You fawn over Qin Huairu, are you still a man?"

Jia Zhang questioned.

So angry she slapped the table.

She absolutely did not allow her son to marry a woman who could shake her family status.

"I'm telling you, the one surnamed Qin is a vixen, I don't like her, you two aren't suitable."

Jia Zhang announced her final decision.

The matchmaking hadn't ended yet, and she had already decided in advance.

"Mom, but I like her."

"I'm the one getting married, not you."

For Qin Huairu.

Jia Dongxu summoned the courage to rebel against Jia Zhang.

"What did you say?"

"Say it again?"

"Little brat, you've really rebelled."

"I carried you for ten months, raised you with shit and urine, and this is how you treat me?"

"Do you still recognize me as your mother?"

Jia Zhang was furious.

Everyone in the courtyard heard her roar.

Jia Gen sighed.

For the ten-thousandth time, he regretted marrying Jia Zhang, which left him with no dignity as a man and caused his son to be unlucky as well; he blamed himself for being too cowardly!

Outside the Sihe Academy.

"Little Qin, tell me, what exactly is going on?"

"Why are you being cold to Jia Dongxu?"

"I'm telling you, there are plenty of girls who want to marry into the city, I can find ten or eight easily, it doesn't have to be you."

"Tell me, did you take a liking to Wan Ping'an?"

"I'm telling you, someone like you can only marry Jia Dongxu. What kind of person is Wan Ping'an?"

"He can grow golden rice, he only needs to call out, and he can pick any girl in the city. Do you think he can take a liking to you?"

Matchmaker Zhang saw Qin Huairu hiding a grain of golden rice and guessed her thoughts.

She had taken a liking to Wan Ping'an.

Matchmaker Zhang wasn't surprised at all.

Wan Ping'an was young, handsome, and a good hand at farming. His income alone was more than the combined income of everyone else in the Sihe Academy.

Such a handsome and capable young man, which woman wouldn't like him?

If she weren't married, older, and had children, she would definitely chase after Wan Ping'an!

Qin Huairu’s expression was dim.

She was a smart girl, and as soon as Matchmaker Zhang said it, she calmed down. Wan Ping'an was so outstanding, how could he take a liking to her?

"Alright!"

"Go back and have a good date, don't keep a straight face, can you do that?"

Matchmaker Zhang questioned coldly.

She was experienced and knew she had to put pressure on Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu nodded, her expression desolate.

"Alright, come back with me and have a good date!"

"Even if you don't like Jia Dongxu, you have to finish this date properly. Come back and tell me, and I'll find you another suitable one!"

Matchmaker Zhang knew very well that pressure alone wouldn't work.

She also had to give her some sweetness so she would have hope.

The two returned to the Jia house.

The atmosphere in the Jia house was a bit wrong.

Matchmaker Zhang would never have guessed that when she and Qin Huairu went out, the Jia house had erupted into a fierce argument, almost triggering a war!

"It's getting late, you must be hungry, right?"

"I'll go cook!"

Jia Gen got up and went to the kitchen.

Qin Huairu was stunned. Why wasn't Jia Zhang cooking?

At home, her father never cooked.

Cooking was always her mother’s business.

"Old Jia cooks better!"

Matchmaker Zhang explained.

She didn't even believe it herself.

It was because Jia Zhang was too overbearing and too lazy.

After marriage.

Unless there was really no other way.

Otherwise.

Old Jia always cooked.

The smell of meat wafted out.

"I'll go serve the dishes!"

Jia Zhang let Jia Dongxu set the table and went to the kitchen.

Ow!

As soon as Jia Zhang entered the kitchen, a scream came out.

"What happened?"

Matchmaker Zhang was very confused.

"Nothing, you don't need to come over, I burned my hand."

Jia Zhang shouted, her voice a bit slurred, as if she had something in her mouth.

Soon.

The dishes were served.

First came a plate of shredded potatoes.

Then came a plate of cabbage stir-fried with meat, only two dishes.

Qin Huairu looked at it suspiciously; cabbage stir-fried with meat was just a large plate of cabbage, paired with five thin slices of meat smaller than a fingernail.

Just one piece for each person!

Matchmaker Zhang’s face turned black on the spot. Was this still cabbage stir-fried with meat?

It would be better to just serve a vegetable dish!

Jia Dongxu was also stunned.

Jia Gen clearly bought a catty of meat, why did he use so little for the stir-fry?

Did these add up to half a tael of meat?

No!

Definitely not!

Where did the other nine-plus taels of meat go?

"Come, sit down and eat!"

Jia Zhang and Jia Gen walked out of the kitchen.

When Jia Zhang spoke, Qin Huairu had a major discovery: a piece of meat was stuck between Jia Zhang’s teeth, and her mouth was full of oil.

She realized it.

Jia Zhang’s scream just now wasn't because she burned her hand, but because she burned her mouth!

Stealing meat, the meat was too hot, and she burned her mouth!

No wonder the large plate of cabbage stir-fried with meat only had five fingernail-sized pieces of meat, and they were thin; it turned out the meat had all been stolen by Jia Zhang!

Qin Huairu felt nauseous and had no mood to eat!

Just at this time, a thick aroma of meat wafted into the Jia house.

"So fragrant, whose family is stewing chicken?"

Matchmaker Zhang took a deep breath.

Qin Huairu remembered that when she and Jia Dongxu came back, Wan Ping'an was going to cook, holding a chicken in his hand. Was it Wan Ping'an?

"It must be that little beast surnamed Wan again!"

"He eats big fish and meat every day, isn't he afraid of bursting from eating alone?"

Jia Zhang habitually cursed Wan Ping'an.

As soon as she finished speaking, she realized the situation was wrong and smiled awkwardly.

"Come, let's eat too!"

Jia Dongxu reached out with his chopsticks, wanting to add a piece of meat for Qin Huairu.

Even if it was a bit small, it was still meat!

He just reached out with his chopsticks.

A pair of chopsticks was faster and more accurate than his; five pieces of meat, not one left behind, were all swallowed by Jia Zhang in one bite!

Everyone was stunned.

Even the matchmaker was stunned.

Does anyone do this during a date?

"I'm going out to the toilet!"

Qin Huairu was full of depression and really couldn't sit still.

"I'll take you!"

Jia Dongxu wanted to follow.

He wanted to explain, to salvage the situation; he didn't want to lose Qin Huairu.

"You stand still!"

"She's going to the women's toilet, what are you following for?"

"Aren't you afraid of being caught as a hooligan?"
