Chapter 458 - 311: Rushing the Matchmaker_3
How old is my own daughter really? If it hadn’t been for what happened during the New Year, he probably wouldn’t have thought others were acting out of revenge.
Seeing his elder daughter’s haggard face at mealtime, Hongji felt a surge of discomfort as a father.
Mrs. Lai had previously misunderstood that Matchmaker Zhang was arranging matches for her husband, but she eventually realized that she had been mistaken.
However, she didn’t regret hitting the matchmaker, glancing at Mrs. Li with a somewhat strange look. This daughter-in-law, who appeared so weak, had been more fierce than her in striking the matchmaker today.
During the meal, she glared at Mrs. Li and mocked, "Usually acting so weak, I thought I was always the bad guy. Turns out it’s the dog that doesn’t bark that is the most dangerous."
These past few days, Hongji’s father had been busily preparing to become a bridegroom. He felt even more disgusted by Mrs. Lai’s attitude:
"What are you talking about during a peaceful meal?"
Being scolded by her husband only fueled Mrs. Lai’s anger from the past two days:
"Husband, isn’t it all because of you? You’ve saved so much private money, giving so much gift money to a lowly woman, even building her a separate house."
"That woman is your niece, isn’t it all because of you?"
Hongji’s father didn’t make things too clear, as there were children at the table and outsiders at home.
"Hmph, today someone sought to take advantage of your taking a concubine by proposing a marriage for your elder granddaughter. Your daughter-in-law sure is impressive, giving Matchmaker Zhang a beating," she said.
