Chapter 590: Chapter 590: Undermining

Guo’s mother was shocked, but she quickly cald down, doubting the truth in Tong Yao’s words. The man did look good and rich, but why would he be interested in Guo Jinnian?

She suspected Tong Yao was bragging. "How can you prove your words are true? If your family is really so rich, why would you marry an old maid?"

Upon hearing this, Deng Qiuxia subconsciously looked at Tong Yao. She also agreed with Guo’s mother’s words. Guo Jinnian did look decent, but not nearly as good as Tong Yao. Besides being older and acting like a boy, why would such a good family be interested in her?

Tong Yao scoffed, amused at Guo’s mother. "Who told you that being 25 is an old maid? In big cities, people get married at this age after graduation. Isn’t it the right age? How did she suddenly beco an old maid? Like you introducing a man to Miaomiao, she’s only seventeen, she’s not even of legal marriage age, why are you randomly introducing her to n?"

Guo’s mother was speechless with Tong Yao’s words. After a pause, she asked, "If you’re here for a marriage proposal, why didn’t you bring your parents? Who proposes without elders?"

Tong Yao crisply replied, "Our Breeding Farm, with nearly 100,000 chickens and ducks, is busy with my parents running the business. They’ll co after the New Year, is that an issue?"

Guo Jinnian imdiately echoed, "Exactly, my father-in-law and mother-in-law are just too busy to get away."

Guo’s mother could not speak at all this ti. Compared to Gu Hongwei, the Chen she introduced, was indeed not remarkable, and now felt a little embarrassed to continue staying.

But she didn’t believe Guo Jinnian was this lucky. Before leaving, she didn’t forget to say to Deng Qiuxia, "Qiuxia, don’t bla

for being verbose, you need to know the root cause of this marriage proposal, don’t be deceived by their sweet words."

Guo Jinnian couldn’t believe Guo’s mother was trying to fool her mother even at this ti. Recoiling from swearing, she heard Tong Yao saying, "My husband works in the sa hospital with Director Deng and is currently studying abroad. Auntie Deng, if you don’t believe , you can call and ask. Wenwen is currently working in the store I opened, all are people with known background, how could they be scamrs?"

Upon hearing these words, Deng Qiuxia instantly believed Tong Yao, hastily telling Guo’s mother, "We won’t get swindled, this situation is definitely true, they know my sister and niece."

Guo’s mother didn’t expect that everything Tong Yao said was true, and even knew Deng Qiuxia’s family. This ti, she really couldn’t find any words to refute, and she left for ho in dismay.

After Deng Qiuxia learned that Tong Yao knew her sister, her attitude towards Tong Yao and Gu Hongwei beca even more enthusiastic. She now liked Gu Hongwei more, and asked Guo Miaomiao to get so water and bring a chair to sit.

The flustered woman chastised Guo Jinnian, "You bring your boyfriend back, and don’t even bother to call ahead. Look how ssy our house is, I haven’t cleaned up properly."

Guo Jinnian was a bit angry, facetiously saying, "They don’t care about these things, go call my dad back!"

Guo just introduced her to a widowed man by Guo’s mother, and her own mother didn’t say a word in her defense, which really broke her heart.

Although Guo’s mother was hateful, she knew to protect her daughter. In comparison, she looked like a foundling.

Deng Qiuxia was indecisive and didn’t know how to entertain her son-in-law. When she heard Guo Jinnian ntion her husband, she hastened, "Then, take a rest first. Your dad is playing cards in the next village, I’ll go call him back now."

With Deng Qiuxia gone, Guo Jinnian grabbed Guo Miaomiao’s arm and asked, "Miaomiao, do you know where our parents hid my house deeds and residence permit?"

Guo Miaomiao, shaking her head, "I don’t know, our parents like to hide things behind my back."

Guo Xinpei seriously favored boys over girls. He preferred to keep his daughters in the dark about everything, especially when it ca to property matters.

Upon hearing Guo Miaomiao’s reply, Guo Jinnian imdiately ran into the house to search. However, after several rounds of searching, she didn’t find a single deed or permit, which infuriated her.

Guo Miaomiao found it strange. "Sis, why not directly ask our mom just now?"

Guo Jinnian replied, "She didn’t even speak up for

when she wanted

to marry a man for the second ti. Do you think she’ll give

the residence permit and receipt? If she were willingly, we wouldn’t be stealing."

Guo Miaomiao saw how furious Guo Jinnian was and did not dare to speak.

Thinking about Deng Qiuxia’s reactions, Tong Yao was also very annoyed. "Your mother is too submissive, and she has a severe preference for males over females."

Gu Hongwei agreed with what Tong Yao said, reminding Guo Jinnian, "Let’s stick to the plan. Don’t get too impulsive and ruin it."

Guo Jinnian nodded and was ready to speak, when Guo’s mother returned, bringing a young girl of eighteen or nineteen years old. The girl had fine features and was tall, though her skin was a bit rough and dark as she had lived in the countryside all her life.

Guo’s mother returned, with her deanor changed entirely from earlier and now had a flattering smile. She introduced the young girl to Tong Yao and Gu Hongwei, "This is my daughter, Xiaotao. I didn’t know the situation earlier. Don’t take to heart for what I said. I’m a straight talker but soft-hearted, hope you don’t mind."

Xiaotao looked at Gu Hongwei and imdiately shyly lowered her head.

Gu Hongwei and Tong Yao exchanged a glance. Both were shocked by Guo’s mother’s gestures, the corners of their mouths twitched.

Guo Jinnian didn’t expect Guo’s mother to bring a girl to take her place, she was fuming, "Guo’s mother, what do you an by this?"

Guo’s mother, however, was undeterred, "I’m just bringing my daughter for a visit."

Guo Jinnian placed her hands on her hips and glared at her, "You’re visiting, so why are you practically throwing Xiaotao into my man’s arms?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, I’m just introducing her to them." Guo’s mother didn’t want to argue with Guo Jinnian, she continued to Tong Yao and Gu Hongwei, "My daughter Xiaotao has finished junior high school. She almost made it to high school. Not to brag, but she has the highest education in the entire village, and is the prettiest. People seeking to marry her have nearly trampled my doorstep, but I’ve not agreed yet."

Listening to Guo’s mother’s self-praising words, Tong Yao was feeling embarrassed. She cald the enraged Guo Jinnian, reminding her to stay calm, then turned to Guo’s mother, "Your daughter is indeed beautiful, but what does it have to do with us?"

"Not necessarily unrelated." Guo’s mother looked at Gu Hongwei with a grin, "I find the young man quite appealing, the more I look at him, the more I like him."

Guo Jinnian was furious. She retorted, "You’re so old. It doesn’t matter if you like him."
