Chapter 42: Brother, you can't just look for a wife based on appearance, can you?

How should I say about this girl……

Hmm……

There is a kind of plump beauty……

She also has a healthy complexion.

Lu Yuan sized up the matchmaking girl who came in with the matchmaker, forming an opinion in his mind.

Pang Kaige beside him, already speechless, stood up and said:

"How did this dark and fat girl end up like this……"

"Isn't the gap in this matchmaker's skill too huge？？"

The people beside nodded repeatedly, this fine fellow— the previous Su Liyan looked like a celestial maiden, this one……

dark and fat, she's become like a wild boar turned spirit……

Pang Kaige, having come to his senses, speechless, turned and left directly.

Originally Pang Kaige thought of learning from Lu Yuan; if he could also be as handsome as Su Liyan, he planned to secretly steal the match.

When this girl walks home, he would go intercept her.

But this……

Pang Kaige feared that this big wild boar would snatch him instead……

Meanwhile, the others around stayed put, watching for the amusement.

As for Gao Xushi, she was also dazed.

This……

This build…… isn't it a bit too big……

Looks about 1.5 meters？？

On her chubby face, the features look as if they've been squeezed out.

At this moment, the matchmaker didn't think much of it, smiling and looking at the dazed Gao Xushi, saying:

"Elder sister, look, I've brought you this person— Wang Fengdan. Her father works at the street office, her mother at the Grain Bureau; the conditions are great~"

As for the conditions……

Gao Xushi had heard about this before.

But this Wang Fengdan……

Gao Xushi's mouth twitched involuntarily, a bit embarrassed, she said:

"The conditions are…… good…… more than enough for our Tingyu…… but…… but she's a bit fat？"

When Gao Xushi finished speaking, the matchmaker raised an eyebrow and said:

"Being fat is good; fat people have blessings. Besides, if your family doesn't have this condition, you can't get fat even if you want to, right~"

The matchmaker, true to her sharp tongue, not only could speak to Gao Xushi but also liven the atmosphere; in the end she turned to the onlooking residents around and said:

The residents in the courtyard were about to burst out laughing, yet they kept nodding and said:

"Yes yes…… ha……"

Afterward, the matchmaker lifted her head and said:

"Besides, her parents said that if you become in-laws, you'll surely not go hungry; by then Dan Feng's dowry will still be a sewing machine— you won't need to buy one~"

Hearing this, Gao Xushi's eyes lit up— this…… this relationship is great！！

Anyway, as long as the daughter-in-law can serve me, looks don't matter much; as long as she can bear and raise children, that's fine！！

Afterward, Gao Xushi turned her head toward Gao Tingyu, who stood to the side with a dark face, and said:

"Son……"

At that moment, Wang Fengdan, somewhat shy, lowered her head; one chubby hand pulled at her little braid, the other tugged at the hem of her clothes.

Blushing, she looked at Gao Tingyu and said:

"Brother~"

Everyone: "……"

Hmm……

Su Liyan also called Lu Yuan 'brother'; those watching felt an itch in their hearts, wishing to pull him into their arms at once and caress him thoroughly.

That alluring voice, that pert jade nose, eyes full of autumn water, pink, tempting cherry lips.

Especially each time she called Lu Yuan 'brother', her beautiful eyes brimmed with love and admiration, her glance shining— oh my, she's absolutely gorgeous.

But Wang Fengdan, weighing over 180 catties, plus wearing extra clothes in this winter month, ends up round like a ball.

Moreover, her large face— especially when she's shy and lowers her head, it looks like three chaps are about to pop out.

Gao Tingyu couldn't hold back right then.

With a dark face, he said directly:

"Mom, I'm not interested in her; let's forget it."

"You guys hurry up and leave."

This time Gao Tingyu didn't even want people to enter the door.

Meanwhile, Gao Xushi on the side was still thinking about never having to worry about food and drink, plus that sewing machine as dowry.

But…… this Wang Fengdan, Gao Xushi really didn't take a liking to her either.

Such a daughter-in-law would only be for showing off in the courtyard; if she went out, people unaware of Wang Fengdan's background would surely laugh our family to death.

In the end, Gao Xushi also remained silent.

Now the matchmaker couldn't take it anymore.

Do you Gao family really handle things like this？！！

Even if you don't like it, can't you at least say some pleasantries when you come in?!!!

You're blocking the door now and won't even let me in—will my matchmaker still have a job in the future?

The matchmaker, furious, couldn't hold back and directly gritted her teeth and said:

"Your family is pretty much done for!!"

"I brought the person for you, and you won't even let me come in for a sip of water?!!"

"Everyone, let's judge fairly—who does things like this?!!"

The people in the courtyard looked at each other, and indeed this matter was handled poorly by the Gao family.

But the problem is, we're all from the same courtyard, so naturally we can't speak up for outsiders, and thus we could only stay silent.

Gao Xushi wasn't one to be provoked, and she immediately retorted:

"I just didn't take a liking to him, and besides, what kind of person did you bring?!!"

The matchmaker, face flushed with anger, directly started cursing in the street:

"What do you mean 'what kind of person I brought'? You don't even look at your own home—you don't even know your own conditions, earning just a few bucks a month, yet you want this and that—what gives you the right?!!"

The matchmaker glanced around at the people nearby and immediately spotted a familiar face.

It was Su Liyan.

At that moment, Su Liyan's family had just finished cooking a meal, and was about to call her husband home to eat.

The matchmaker didn't know how Su Liyan ended up here, but that didn't matter; what mattered was that she now wanted to spite the Gao family.

Immediately, the matchmaker shouted at Su Liyan:

"Liyan, you were absolutely right not to marry Gao Tingyu back then—it was the aunt who was wrong, almost pushing you into a pit of fire. Look at what kind of people this family is—no manners at all, and yet they claim to be city folk!!"

Su Liyan was startled, didn't dare to speak—she wasn't the type to cause trouble.

At this moment, Lu Yuan felt that as a righteous person, he ought to step forward and uphold justice.

Immediately, Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows at the black-faced Gao Tingyu and spoke solemnly:

"Tingyu, bro, I'm not saying this to criticize you, but can you really choose a wife just by looks?"

Everyone: "???"

Lu Yuan again spoke solemnly:

"Look, bro, when I look for a wife, it's not just about looks."

Everyone: "???"

Afterwards, Lu Yuan put his arm around the blushing Su Liyan standing beside him, looked at Gao Tingyu, and continued:

"Bro, I didn't marry your sister-in-law because she's beautiful—I married her because she's virtuous, hardworking, knows how to care for people, and is sympathetic."

"After we got married, you know how your sister-in-law has taken care of me, right?"

"Tingyu, listen to my advice: a person shouldn't be so shallow; I think this girl is quite good, she's also blessed in appearance, and you won't go wrong if you follow my advice~"

Everyone: "???"

You're full of shit!!

Anyone can spout such big truths, but you, Lu Yuan, can't!!

Look how beautiful Su Liyan has become—you don't even realize it yourself!!
