CHAPTER 355: CHAPTER 355: I DISAGREE

Chapter 355 I Disagree

Although Tian Xianhua is from Fengmugen, though usually irresponsible, he is known to be a ruthless person among the surrounding villages. He often hangs around the markets of nearby villages and or spends his days loafing in the county,

but most of the time, he stays in the market of Zhushan Castle—a local bully among several nearby villages.

He’s already twenty-six years old, but no one in the surrounding villages wishes to marry their daughter to him.

Not only because he is ruthless, but also because he is known for being a bad influence, often dealing improperly with disreputable women.

A saying he often repeats is: "Women are rotten like winter melons, men are rotten like flowers."

Although Xiao Hua is not exceptionally beautiful, she is a flower of the mountains, smart, well-educated, so why would any parents want to marry their daughter to him?

Yet, Tian Xianhua has set his eyes on Xiao Hua and refuses to let go.

Just right, his sister returned home from collecting pig food, and he came up with an idea concerning his sister.

Tian Xianhua discussed with the matchmaker, "Doesn’t Xiao Hua have a brother named Xiao Zhu? Introduce your sister to him. Once they develop a good relationship and start talking about marriage, then you can bring up the swap."

The matchmaker didn’t want to be his matchmaker, but knowing Tian Xianhua’s ruthlessness and fearing offending him, she said, "This needs mutual consent to proceed."

"Don’t worry, her brother will agree." His sister is not bad-looking.

In fact, he himself is not bad-looking either; if not for his bad reputation, he would have married long ago.

His sister had long been fed up with their home, and upon hearing the matchmaker’s proposal of arranging a meeting, she agreed.

The matchmaker let the two young people meet first, and Xiao Zhu immediately took a liking to Tian Ruyi. Tian Ruyi also found Xiao Zhu satisfying.

Afterwards, they started dating frequently and their feelings grew stronger; Xiao Zhu proposed, and Tian Ruyi agreed.

However, when Xiao Zhu asked the matchmaker to propose marriage at Tian’s house, he was still anxious, not knowing how much dowry they would ask for, as his family was poor.

Instead, the matchmaker raised the male side’s request: they suggest a marriage swap, Tian Ruyi to marry Xiao Zhu, and Xiao Zhu’s sister Xiao Hua to marry Tian Ruyi’s brother Tian Xianhua.

It was only then that Xiao Zhu found out his partner was the sister of Tian Xianhua, the notorious tough guy of Zhushan Town.

Previously, he only knew Tian Ruyi was from Fengmugen, but didn’t know she was Tian Xianhua’s sister.

However, having developed deep feelings for Tian Ruyi, he was unwilling to give her up and, at the plea of Tian Ruyi, could only agree.

He didn’t reveal to his parents that the girl’s brother was Tian Xianhua; he only mentioned the swap requested by the girl’s side.

Mr. Xiao also knew that the little money the family had was spent on their children’s education and couldn’t afford a significant dowry. If the girl’s brother matched his daughter well, it wouldn’t be impossible.

He simply stated that they would wait for Xiao Hua to meet the girl’s brother before deciding, not directly agreeing with Xiao Zhu. But in fact, he was also in favor of the swap.

And so, only when Xiao Hua proposed lending money to her brother for his marriage did he readily agree.

But who would have expected that Xiao Zhu had been hiding such a secret!

Xiao Hua’s parents were shocked: "That Tian Xianhua is a thug and a womanizer, how can we marry such a ruthless person?"

It turns out Tian Xianhua had set his sights on their daughter first.

Moreover, Xiao Zhu didn’t know Tian Ruyi’s brother was Tian Xianhua, but Tian Ruyi should know, right?

She knew and yet didn’t tell Xiao Zhu. Only when their relationship deepened did she reveal the truth. Were the siblings conspiring together to deceive the Xiao Family?

"No way, I do not agree!"

Everyone was shocked and dumbfounded.

Because the person who said this was neither Xiao Hua, nor Xiao Family’s parents, but Jiang Mengyu, the classmate Xiao Hua brought home!
