Liu Yifei returned home, placed the wooden basin on the street edge without hanging up the clothes, and went straight back to her room, burying herself in the quilt and crying bitterly.

Seeing this, her mother, Mrs. He, hurriedly came forward to comfort her.

"Yifei, what's wrong with you? Did someone insult you again with their nasty words? I'll have your father teach them a lesson!"

Liu Yifei cried even harder.

Since she disfigured herself, there have been children in the village who often insult and tease her, calling her an ugly monster to her face. Although it was thoughtless child's talk, it still deeply affected her.

In addition, she is already eighteen years old and still unmarried, making the whole village believe that she has no hope in this lifetime.

Now that she goes out, she feels so inferior that she doesn't even dare to lift her head.

Mrs. He sighed and said, "Aunt Wu came by just now to inform us that your cousin will bring back a young man named Ye tomorrow to choose a bride in the village. You should give it a try."

Liu Yifei firmly said, "I won't go!"

"Why not?"

Liu Yifei sat up, her eyes already red from crying, she wiped away the tears from her face, looking very aggrieved.

"I saw Mr. Ye just now."

"Ah? So what?"

"Mr. Ye is handsome and elegant, with extraordinary conversation skills. How could I...?"

After saying that, Liu Yifei couldn't help but cry again.

Mrs. He lowered her head and secretly wiped the corners of her eyes.

"Yifei, you're already eighteen years old. No matter what, you should give it a try. What if..."

"I don't want to bring more humiliation upon myself. I'll just stay by my parents' side and serve them for the rest of my life."

"Silly child!" Mrs. He stroked her daughter's hair, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.

This child has been sensible since she was young, but fate has played such a cruel trick on her!

When she was twelve years old, her father, Liu Dafeng, lost control after drinking and accidentally knocked over a kettle of boiling water, ruining her appearance.

Over the years, Liu Dafeng has been filled with guilt and has tried every means to make up for his past mistakes.

That's why this time, he is willing to use the house as a dowry to marry off his daughter.

She looked towards the door and said, "Your father went to find your uncle, to see if there's any chance."

Liu Yifei asked curiously, "Why did he go to find Uncle?"

Mrs. He said, "Mr. Ye wants to buy our house, right? Your father said that as long as Mr. Ye is willing to marry you, he will give the house to you as a dowry."

"What?" Liu Yifei exclaimed, "Mother, it's better if these things happen willingly. If we use connections and pull strings, even if it works out in the end, there won't be a good outcome."

Mrs. He looked gloomy.

At this moment, they suddenly heard Liu Dafeng coming back from outside, shouting excitedly, "Great, great! Our Yifei is finally getting married!"

Mrs. He quickly got up and went out to ask, "How did the conversation go? Did you meet Mr. Ye?"

Liu Yifei also came out, feeling that it was impossible, but her eyes were still filled with anticipation.

"Haha..." Liu Dafeng laughed heartily, unable to contain his joy, "I met Mr. Ye, and he personally told me that he wants to marry Yifei!"

"Really?" Mrs. He was overjoyed.

Liu Yifei felt her mind go blank, her legs went weak, and she almost fainted.

Fortunately, Mrs. He was quick to react and caught her.

"Haha, look how happy our daughter is." Liu Dafeng walked into the house, sat at the table, and poured a glass of water.

Mrs. He suddenly became worried and said, "Husband, did you explain our daughter's situation to him? This secret can't be kept forever. It may be hidden for a while, but not forever."

"I didn't say anything. However, Mr. Ye said he has seen Yifei."

"Father, did you... did you not force him? He really did see my face today, how could he... how could he agree?" Liu Yifei still couldn't believe it.

"Hehe, he did agree! I didn't believe it at first either." Liu Dafeng said carelessly.

"This turtle saw the mung bean and took a liking to it, where's the logic in that?"

Mrs. He supported her daughter's back and smiled, "Your father's words may be rough, but they make sense. As long as Young Master Ye agrees, why does it matter what his reasons are?"

Liu Dafeng took a sip of water and said, "Your mother is right. Besides, I think Young Master Ye is talented and I'm satisfied. I will give that mansion to you as your dowry, I won't mistreat this son-in-law."

Liu Yifei was excited and nervous at the same time. She had never been this happy in so many years.

"Even if Young Master Ye is marrying me for the mansion, as long as I can marry him in this lifetime, I have no regrets!"

"Second Uncle, Yifei cannot marry Young Master Ye!"

Liu Qingshan's voice came from outside.

The joyful atmosphere in the room was instantly shattered.

Everyone looked at Liu Qingshan in confusion, as if they were looking at a monster.

Liu Dafeng angrily said, "Qingshan, what's wrong with you today?"

Mrs. He also had a stern face, "Your sister finally has a chance to get married, if you don't come to congratulate her, that's one thing, but to disagree? What right do you have to say such things?"

Liu Yifei looked surprised and puzzled, and said sadly, "Brother Qingshan, don't you want me to get married?"

Liu Dafeng snorted, "If you don't give a reasonable explanation today, I won't spare you."

Liu Qingshan saw that everyone was against him and looked embarrassed, but he didn't know how to say it.

Under the unanimous pressure from everyone, Liu Qingshan reluctantly pulled Liu Dafeng aside and whispered a few words in his ear, then he extended his index fingers and gestured in the air.

Liu Dafeng glanced at it and furrowed his brows, exclaiming, "Ah!"

Liu Yifei asked in confusion, "Brother, what are you two talking about?"

She vaguely felt that something was not right, but after finally getting a chance to get married, how could she bear to give it up?

Mrs. He asked in a deep voice, "Dafeng, what did Qingshan say? It's so mysterious!"

Liu Dafeng thought for a moment, then whispered a few words in Mrs. He's ear.

Mrs. He looked surprised at the words.

Liu Yifei didn't understand, and she was so anxious that she was about to cry.

Could it be that after finally getting a chance to get married, it was going to be ruined?

Mrs. He thought for a moment, but shook her head and burst into laughter.

"Mother, why... why are you still laughing?" Liu Qingshan said with a hint of anger.

Mrs. He pursed her lips and said, "You two men, what do you understand?"

Liu Qingshan worriedly said, "Mother, are you going to watch Yifei jump into a fire pit?"

Mrs. He laughed and said, "As the saying goes, only tired oxen, where would there be ruined land? When it comes to matters between men and women, if we talk about fighting alone, hmph..."

After speaking, she looked at Liu Dafeng with a disdainful glance.

Liu Dafeng lowered his head in shame.

Mrs. He continued, "We women can give birth to children, what is there to fear about what you said?"

"Uh..." Liu Qingshan was speechless.

"What are you two talking about?"

Liu Yifei listened with confusion, seeming to understand but not quite.

Mrs. He stepped forward and patted her daughter's shoulder, encouraging her, "Don't worry, daughter, there's nothing to worry about. You've hit the jackpot."

After speaking, she leaned close to Liu Yifei's ear and whispered a few words, then giggled.

Liu Yifei furrowed her brows, blushing and embarrassed, and covered her face as she ran back to her own bedroom.
