Chapter 459 - 457: Refusing to be the Scapegoat
Although the village had a few old bachelors who were unable to find brides, or those widowers.
But everyone in the village knew about the Song Family’s reputation; marrying Song Chunhua would likely mean getting entangled with them.
Even though Song Chunhua didn’t bring any money this time, her temperament was bad, and given her past actions, what if she insisted on supporting her natal family after marriage?
Not to mention that the Song Family was like blood-sucking leeches, a whole household drilling into one’s flesh to suck blood—who could tolerate that?
Thus, even with the Song Family’s high betrothal promises, no matchmaker was willing to take on the job.
Finally, one greedy for money took it on, but after approaching a few families and barely starting to explain the purpose, was spat out the door.
Those with fierce tempers not only scolded the matchmakers but also cursed the Song Family for being worthless, saying this was not a marriage but a curse being passed on.
Others, with venomous tongues, would rather remain bachelors for life than marry someone like Song Chunhua; even if she came with a monetary incentive, they wouldn’t want her.
Embarrassed, the matchmaker returned home with a dusty face and dared not broach the topic again.
The Song Family, having no alternative, faced the fact that Song Chunhua’s reputation stank in the village; she was unsellable.
Yet it was the Song Family’s eldest, who, with a clever gleam in his eye, thought that if she couldn’t be sold in the village, they should sell her to someone outside who was unaware of the Song Family and Song Chunhua’s reputation.
