Chapter 299 - 299 299 Making Sure Its Not Tyrant Meng

Chapter 299: Chapter 299: Making Sure It’s Not Tyrant Meng Chapter 299: Chapter 299: Making Sure It’s Not Tyrant Meng Hong Tao immediately changed her attitude and looked at Chiang Xiao, saying with a bit of grievance, “Chiang Xiao, how can you be like this? It’s not good for a girl to scream about fighting and killing, no matter if I’m someone from your family or not; I brought it up for your own good. I truly came here today for something serious.”

Niu Guiying couldn’t help but curl her lips behind her.

Hong Tao’s fighting spirit was too weak. Why didn’t she immediately rush up and tear Chiang Xiao apart? To think she had hoped to see Chiang Xiao get scolded and beaten up.

“Speak your business without wagging your finger,” Chiang Xiao rebuked, glancing at Niu Guiying in passing. This woman, who had brought her great harm and splashed the most mud on her in her former life, now posed no threat to her at all.

These days, she had too many things to deal with herself and had no time to pay attention to Niu Guiying, but if she insisted on making trouble, Chiang Xiao wouldn’t mind settling their past life’s scores.

However, Niu Guiying seemed to have become a bit more cowardly.

Hong Tao secretly clenched her teeth, suddenly feeling that Chiang Xiao’s personality was not like what she had been told; so fierce and assertive. Could her mother really control this daughter-in-law?

But after a second thought, she realized her brother was not an easy-going person, either. Men after all have greater strength; if Chiang Xiao doesn’t listen, just let her brother give her a beating, right?

The men in Hongjiawan mostly beat their wives; she’d learn to behave after going there.

Thinking this way, Hong Tao felt there was no difficulty and said to Chiang Xiao, “Let me be straight with you, Chiang Xiao. You’re still young, so you must not be easily deceived by men. I know your family’s situation; your grandparents probably want to find you a dependable match, right? Engaging early is one way to go, but if you’re going to find someone, it’s best to look for someone we know inside out, preferably from our own village! However, if there were any suitable matches in the village, your grandfather would have found one already, so there must be none.”

She glanced at the door while talking, seeing that Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao had not come out after talking for so long, and Chiang Xiao happened to block the doorway, preventing her from entering, which inevitably made her feel restless. So she continued, “I’m here to propose a match for you. Let me tell you, my brother, named Hong Tie Dan, is a very sturdy and capable young fellow, sixteen this year, just the right age for you. Do you want to meet him?”

Huh?

Chiang Xiao almost burst out.

Hong Tao had come to set her up with a date?

And the date was her brother? A sixteen-year-old boy? Tie Dan?

Chiang Xiao was genuinely unable to keep up with this kind of arrangement from fate. She was simply taken aback.

Niu Guiying, however, had a thought in her heart, ha, this was reliable! Chiang Xiao didn’t know the situation in Hongjiawan, but she did! That place was smaller and poorer than Siyang Village; the men there were known for their bad tempers, and when they couldn’t make money, they’d go home and beat their wives. The single men were having an increasingly difficult time finding wives, and in recent years, she had heard that some resorted to deceit, collecting enough money to go out, to other villages or towns, to trick girls. Once the girls were married and brought back home, it was already too late for regrets.

When Sun Jinhe first married Hong Tao from Hongjiawan, she thought Hong Tao was escaping poverty by coming to their village.

Now, if Chiang Xiao could be married off to Hongjiawan, her heart would be as cool as if she were eating a popsicle!

She just couldn’t stand Chiang Xiao!

Thinking so, she immediately said sourly to Chiang Xiao, “Oh my, Hong Tao, I’ve seen your brother, and he really is quite handsome! Thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a tall figure; he looks like he’s moving with the wind as he walks! There must be quite a few girls who like him, right? Why has he taken a fancy to Chiang Xiao?”

Thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a tall figure, moving with the wind as he walks?

Are you sure you’re not talking about Tyrant Meng?
