She was replaced by a husband, married the future tyrant and farmed to fight back

Chapter 51 Qin Yiran asked them to wait in the village. What did he want to do?
"We left with you, and he came looking for us?" Tian San also said.

Liu Yingyue was surprised.

These two people actually knew her name. Did Qin Yiran tell her?

Qin Yiran asked them to wait in the village. What did he want to do?
"Just come with me to do the work. If my fiancé Qin Dalang asks, I will naturally speak for you." Liu Yingyue said.

Only then did Tian San and Tian Zhuang feel relieved and agreed to go to the county town with Liu Yingyue.
-
After Liu Yingyue left home, Madam Liu arranged for Liu Jiangshi to invite a powerful matchmaker.

"Mother, do you really want to promise Sister Huai to Widow Luo's son? Otherwise, let's wait a little longer? Wait until the list of scholars is announced, then we can go." Liu Jiangshi disagreed with Madam Liu's approach, but she was afraid of her mother-in-law, so she had to try to persuade her.

She didn't like her youngest sister-in-law, Liu Huaiyue. The girl was not very smart, lazy, and not very good-looking.

Even less likable than Liu Yingyue.

It would be fine if she married well, but if she married early, she could live a peaceful life.

But if she marries badly, her mother-in-law will definitely blame her for her sister-in-law's problems in the future.

"You don't know, the door of that widow's house was about to be broken down by the crowd. So many people came with expensive gifts and matchmakers. I heard that there were also families of wealthy men from other places." Madam Liu gave Liu Jiangshi a sidelong glance.

Liu Jiang said, "If that's the case, with our family background, we won't be able to compete with the official's family. I'm afraid we'll be driven out by Widow Luo."

"That's why I asked you to ask Matchmaker Hu! She is the most talkative person in this area."

Liu Jiang had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll go ask Matchmaker Hu."

Matchmaker Hu came to the Liu family and listened to Mrs. Liu's idea. She said proudly, "The thank-you gift must be 800 coins."

Madam Liu's eyes widened. "Don't you usually charge 300 coins? Why 800 coins?"

Matchmaker Hu sneered, "Don't you see which family you want to marry? This is Widow Luo's family! Mr. Huang from the village came to me yesterday and asked me to propose marriage to a relative's daughter. He also chose Widow Luo's son, and he gave her 800 coins. If you don't want to give, I won't force you. Anyway, as long as the one you are talking about is Widow Luo's son, it will be 800 coins, not a penny less."

Madam Liu and Liu Jiang looked at each other, and both the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law took a deep breath in their hearts.

It seems that not only the Liu family has taken a fancy to Widow Luo's son, but there are many other people as well.

"It's just eight hundred coins, no problem. By the way, Matchmaker Hu, besides my family and Mr. Huang's family, which other families have taken a fancy to Widow Luo's son?" Madam Liu asked with a wry smile.

"Oh, there's Mr. Huang from this village, who's looking for a match for his relative's daughter, and there's Doctor Chen's family in the village, and there's Mr. Gao's family from the next village, who's looking for a match for his cousin's daughter, and there's the owner of the beef noodle soup restaurant on the market street in the village, and there's..."

Madam Liu gasped when she heard this.

Every family is better than hers.

My daughter Yingyue said that she would wait until the list of successful candidates was announced before proposing marriage. However, even before the list was announced, several wealthy families had already proposed marriage.

If the results are really announced, what will happen to her Liu family?

"Zhu'er's mother, bring one thousand coins and give them to matchmaker Hu." Madam Liu gritted her teeth and said with determination.

"Mother..." Liu Jiang opened her eyes wide, looking surprised.

Is my mother-in-law crazy?
It's obvious that they can't compete. No matter how much money you give to the matchmaker, it will all be wasted.

"Just go and get it when I tell you to! Why are you taking so long? Really." Madam Liu glared at Liu Jiangshi in dissatisfaction.

Liu Jiang had no choice but to go into the house to get the money.

Well, she has to pay for it.

After the money was taken, Madam Liu respectfully placed it in the hands of Matchmaker Hu, "Sister-in-law, thank you very much. When the matter is settled, I will definitely give you a bigger reward."

Matchmaker Hu looked at the thousand coins wrapped in red paper and said with a smile, "Okay, okay."

At the urging of Madam Liu, Matchmaker Hu took the matchmaker's money and led Madam Liu and Liu Jiang to the home of Widow Luo. There were usually few people coming to the door of Widow Luo's home.

She is a mean person and her relatives from her natal and in-laws sides don't like to talk to her.

Neighbors and villagers don't like her very much either.

In front of the dilapidated courtyard gate, weeds can often be seen growing out from the cracks between the bricks.

But since Luo Si'an went to the county town to take the imperial examination, Widow Luo's home began to become lively.

The young grass that had just sprouted from the cracks in the bricks of the steps was trampled to pieces by the people who came to propose marriage before it had the chance to grow into a full green color. I'm afraid it will have to wait until the beginning of next spring before it will have a chance to sprout green again.

"Am I right? Aren't there a lot of people?" Matchmaker Hu said, pointing at the people coming and going in Widow Luo's house.

At this time, there were many people standing or sitting in the main room of Widow Luo's courtyard.

Some were neighbors who came to curry favor and watch the fun, and some were villagers who came to flatter.

Of course, more of a matchmaker.

There were four matchmakers, talking to the smug Widow Luo.

Seeing this scene, Madam Liu took a deep breath.

Liu Jiang also sighed secretly, thinking that this might not be possible.

"Mom, how about we go back?" Liu Jiang pulled Madam Liu's sleeve and said in a low voice.

She was afraid that the marriage proposal would fail and that Widow Luo would chase her out of the house, which would embarrass her.

"We're already here! Besides, we've already paid the matchmaker!" Madam Liu glanced at the eldest daughter-in-law and said, "Let's go in!"

Liu Jiang had no choice but to bite the bullet and drag the matchmaker Hu into Widow Luo's room.

Madam Liu followed behind and entered the house.

"Hello, Aunt Luo." Liu Jiang stepped forward and greeted her awkwardly.

"Brother and sister-in-law of the Luo family are busy." Madam Liu also said with a wry smile.

"Madam Luo, what a great joy, congratulations, congratulations." Matchmaker Hu smiled like a flower and bowed to Widow Luo.

Widow Luo recognized Matchmaker Hu, and saw her coming with the Liu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. How could she not understand what their purpose was?
She sneered, "Oh, it's Matchmaker Hu and the eldest lady and daughter-in-law of Liu Lizheng's family. What rare guests are here, but my family is poor and we don't have extra chairs for you to sit on. What can I do? Otherwise, you can sit on the steps outside?"

Those who like to sit on the steps are either kids or beggars.

Widow Luo asked Madam Liu and her daughter-in-law to sit on the steps, which was a blatant humiliation.

"We can talk while standing." Matchmaker Hu said with a smile.

"Matchmaker Hu, whose marriage are you looking for?" Widow Luo asked deliberately.

"Look, the little daughter of Liu Lizheng in our village is smart and lovely. She wants to marry Luo Tongsheng, the son of Mrs. Luo. Oh no, to Luo Xiucai." Matchmaker Hu flattered her with a fawning smile.

Madam Liu smiled widely, "We are from the same village, and we will be married in the future..."

"Get out!" Widow Luo interrupted Madam Liu and pushed Madam Liu and her daughter-in-law out. "Get out! Why don't you take a piss and look at your face? How dare you, the Liu family, marry my son? Bah! Shameless! My son is a scholar. He will become a first-rank official in the capital! What the hell do you, the Liu family, want? Get out!"

Widow Luo, who was feeling very proud of herself, unceremoniously pushed Madam Liu and her daughter-in-law out of the house.
