Chapter 143 - 142: Soak in the Pig Cage
Gu Xiaoqing, a girl yet to be married, blushed and turned pale as she was scolded by those words. She shook off Gu Wu’s arm and retorted, "Dad, what nonsense are you spouting? Why would I need to be dunked in a pig cage? What have you seen me do? Is it not okay for me to pick mushrooms on the mountain?"
She was still holding a mushroom in her hand!
Of course, Gu Wu was not buying any of it. After chewing out Gu Xiaoqing, he turned to point his finger at Wang Shun’s nose and said, "Shunzi, let me make it clear to you today, you can forget about Erya. Even considering her is pointless. Considering your family’s situation, it’s debatable whether you can even get a wife. Yet you dare to fancy my Erya? You’re a toad lusting after swan meat. Hmph, I’ve already found a suitable match for her, and in a few days, it will be settled. Just give up on it!"
Wang Shun’s face turned ashen. Even a person without much cunning couldn’t help but feel his self-esteem bruised by such scorn!
His face flushed with embarrassment, he stammered for a while without being able to say a word.
Gu Wu sneered disdainfully, "What virtuous behavior!"
Gu Xiaoqing, with a stern face, said, "Dad, his family may be poor, but I like him. The son of the Bun Shop in town, I don’t want to marry him!"
Gu Wu scoffed coldly, "Marriage is the decree of the parents and the matchmaker’s word. It’s not up to you!"
