Chapter 55: Blind Date

Second Aunt Xu didn’t believe the matchmaker’s nonsense, questioning why, if his family had such good conditions, did they not find a girl in the county?

Instead, they came all the way to their rural village.

“Since your family conditions are so good, why didn’t you find a partner in the county?” Mrs. Xu wasn’t afraid to offend anyone and asked directly.

The man’s mother’s expression stiffened, knowing her son’s reputation in the county; he couldn’t find anyone, or else she wouldn’t have bothered to come to the countryside.

The stench of chicken manure made her nauseous.

The conditions in the countryside had indeed lagged compared to future generations, but Second Aunt Xu’s home was clean and unlike other households, there wasn’t chicken manure in their yard.

In the Old Xu Mansion, the ground was clean and the smell of chicken manure was only coming from the chicken coop.

Mrs. Xu caught the woman’s expression and was already suspicious; now, she guessed there must be some internal issue.

“Could it be that your son couldn’t find a partner in the county, so he came to the countryside?” Mrs. Xu directly said.

The man’s mother’s face became even more embarrassed, her hands clenched into fists under the table.

Second Aunt Xu was more cautious after hearing this.

Originally, Xu Jing didn’t like the way the man leered at her, always feeling it was sleazy. Now, after hearing what her elder aunt said, she disliked this man even more.

Wang Liqing stared straight at the girl in front of him. Though she was from the countryside, she was quite pretty, not as good as Gu Fuying, but still not bad.

His eyes sized up Xu Jing, hmm, she had a good figure, much better than Gu Fuying.

Xu Jing felt uncomfortable being stared at and resisted the urge to explode in anger multiple times.

Mrs. Wang tapped her fingers on the table before speaking, “The county girls are also quite good, but somewhat delicate. I want a girl from the countryside who can support our family.

There is not much difference between people from the countryside and the county. If you ask me, rural girls are better. After all, isn’t the food we city people eat grown by the villagers?

Without the rural people, where would us city folks be?” Mrs. Wang’s words struck a chord with everyone.

Second Aunt Xu’s expression softened.

“Why not let the two kids chat?” Mrs. Wang suggested.

Second Aunt Xu glanced over; her daughter nodded, “You and Liqing go out and sit down to chat. Your elder aunt, this lady, and I will go out as well.”

Xu Jing shook her head.

But Second Aunt Xu still left.

Once everyone was outside, Wang Liqing became bolder.

He started openly ogling Xu Jing, his eyes filled with a lewd smile as he moved closer, rubbing his palms.

“Sister Xu Jing, my name is Liqing. If you marry me, I will give you all the money I earn,” Wang Liqing declared.

He wasn’t good-looking, with single eyelids and a big mouth; his eyes squinted when he smiled.

Xu Jing felt disgusted inside, “Stay away from me.”

Wang Liqing chuckled, devoid of any sense of decency, and moved even closer to Xu Jing.

Don’t think he didn’t know, the Xu family had practically no one at home now; his mother surely sent everyone away, leaving only Xu Jing. Even if she screamed, help would arrive too late.

Moreover, a rural girl’s reputation was extremely important.

He was betting on this, thinking Xu Jing wouldn’t dare to fight back.

“What do you think you’re doing?” Xu Jing watched in fear as the man slowly approached and shouted.

Wang Liqing grew more arrogant, “What I want to do? Sister, you’re just so pretty, I can’t help but want a closer look.”

Xu Ying watched, furious, knowing this guy was no good. She quickly came out of the house, grabbed Wang Liqing’s collar, and sneered, “Dare to bully my cousin, I’ll skin you alive.

Didn’t get beaten enough last time, huh? I won’t let you bully my cousin.” Xu Ying kicked him on the buttocks as she spoke.

Wang Liqing yelped in pain, just about to curse when he turned his head and saw Xu Ying’s beautiful yet terrifying face, which frightened him into silence, “Heroine, spare my life.

I didn’t know that she was your cousin, it wasn’t on purpose, it was all the matchmaker’s doing, he told me about your cousin.”

Xu Ying wouldn’t listen to his excuses, she was already in a bad mood because of her period, and here was someone who had just walked into the line of fire, she raised her hand. Slap, slap, several more slaps followed.

Xu Jing’s face was full of shock, in her heart, her cousin had always been a gentle, pretty, and adorable girl.

She had never seen such a violent side of her cousin before.@@novelbin@@

However, she knew her cousin was also protecting her.

Her heart suddenly felt warm, sweet as honey, “Kill him, kill him, let this shameless brute be punished.

Maybe he often harasses other young ladies in the county, that’s why no one wants to marry him!”

The more Xu Jing thought about it, the more she believed she was right, looking at Wang Liqing with eyes full of hatred.

“Cousin, you join in too!” said Xu Ying.

Xu Jing hesitated for a moment, pointed at herself and asked, “Can I?”

“Of course, why not? Just hit him hard!” Xu Ying hadn’t finished instructing her!

Xu Jing lifted her foot and kicked towards Wang Liqing’s groin, striking even harder than Xu Ying.

“Ow~” Wang Liqing howled like a banshee, clutching his groin, screaming in agony, he was going to die, going to die.

This she-devil was too terrifying, even scarier than the pretty girl before him, she didn’t lay a finger unless she intended to take a life.

Xu Ying paused for a moment, then quickly recovered and started beating Wang Liqing mercilessly again.

Outside, Mrs. Wang felt it was time to leave and suggested they should go.

Second Aunt Xu couldn’t agree more, if not for the matchmaker babbling on, she would have wanted to leave much earlier.

When they reached the doorway, they heard cries of agony coming from the courtyard.

Mrs. Wang, not hearing clearly, thought her son had succeeded and couldn’t help but hurriedly enter the courtyard joyfully, intending to make the Xu Family suffer.

Second Aunt Xu was startled by the noise and also rushed into the courtyard quickly.

Mrs. Xu, worried about her daughter, ran faster than a rabbit.

When they reached the courtyard, the expressions on their faces varied.

Mrs. Wang, filled with rage, screamed, “What are you trying to do, kill my son?”

She looked at her son with both heartache and anger, his face bruised and swollen, his body covered in wounds, filled with rage.

Second Aunt Xu and Mrs. Xu were both puzzled, “What happened to Jingjing (daughter)?”

“He bullied me!”

“He bullied my cousin, and I couldn’t stand by, so I took action.” After saying that, Xu Ying gave her cousin a meaningful glance.

Immediately following the cue, Xu Jing turned her mouth slightly, and tears followed, “Wuu wuu wuu, Mom, you have no idea, Wang Liqing is a scoundrel.

He said he didn’t find a match in the county because he couldn’t get anyone there, his moral character is despicable, whenever he sees a good-looking girl, he bullies her.

Just after you left, he tried to molest me, if Yingying hadn’t come quickly, I would have been harmed.”

As Xu Jing spoke, coupled with her continuous tears, it evoked pity from those watching.

The matchmaker was greatly startled, she knew the character of Wang’s son, but had not expected this guy to dare such an act upon their first meeting.

She looked embarrassed, “Sister Xu, I really didn’t know Wang’s son was like this, had I known, I would never have spoken of him to Xu Jing.”

Mrs. Wang, trembling with anger upon hearing this, retorted, “What’s wrong with my son, it’s her daughter who seduced my son, otherwise my son wouldn’t have done this.”
