Chapter 2668: Mission 54

Editor: Henyee Translations

“If we seek a suitable match in the North Village, most would be like that. How could they be deemed worthy of Danqiu? My son is different. If he attains scholarly honors in the future, Danqiu will become the wife of an official. His father and I are accustomed to life in the North Village. Even if they aspire to go to the capital or the monastery after achieving scholarly honors, we won’t interfere. We won’t make Danqiu’s life challenging,” argued Jiang Caixiu’s mother, presenting her case logically.

Confident in her persuasive skills, she believed that someone like Ms. w.a.n.g, who had limited exposure to the world, would be swayed by her reasoning.

Ms. w.a.n.g, however, responded with a cold snort upon hearing the proposal. “When your son gains a good reputation, the first inclination will likely be to break off the engagement. It’s not like your family hasn’t done this before.”

“…”

“What’s wrong with the other men in the North Village? Even if they aren’t Elementary Scholars, they are honest farmers. They wouldn’t terminate an engagement when faced with challenges. They possess a sense of responsibility,” Ms. w.a.n.g continued, her words laden with criticism.

“…”

“Jiang Caixiu, regardless of the future you envision, our family doesn’t dare to accept you. Danqiu isn’t deserving of you. You should seek a n.o.ble lady to match him. Our Danqiu can find someone who lives an honest life. Madam Guan doesn’t dare to do it, fearing a shortened lifespan,” she added sarcastically.

Ms. w.a.n.g felt the Jiang family treated the Yan family with disdain. Despite Third Yan’s past a.s.sistance and financial support during their engagement, the outcome was far from positive. In her eyes, Jiang Caixiu was an ungrateful person, poorly raised.

Frustrated and angered, Ms. w.a.n.g abandoned her laundry, stas.h.i.+ng it away, and prepared to leave, unwilling to endure further confrontation.

No matter how hard Jiang Caixiu’s mother tried to restrain her, Ms. w.a.n.g remained adamant about leaving. Growing frustrated with the persistent hold, Ms. w.a.n.g declared loudly, “I’m saying this today. In the future, whether we seek suitors from North Village or elsewhere, even if we can’t find a match, we won’t consider Jiang Caixiu from the Jiang family.”

“…”

“I wouldn’t dare,” Ms. w.a.n.g reiterated defiantly before storming off in anger.

Jiang Caixiu’s mother hadn’t antic.i.p.ated such a fierce response from Ms. w.a.n.g. Humiliated and enraged, she initially intended to confront Ms. w.a.n.g and set things straight. However, she was promptly restrained. If Jiang Caixiu didn’t succeed, their family wouldn’t have a married son. Considering his suitability for Danqiu, it was imperative to prevent Ms. w.a.n.g from leaving. Stopping her became the top priority.

In frustration, Jiang Caixiu’s mother stomped her feet.

Ultimately, she returned home with the clothes, insulted. Despite her fury, she had no choice but to accept the situation.

Meanwhile, the others, witnessing Ms. w.a.n.g’s declaration, felt a glimmer of hope for their own chances. Eager to discuss the turn of events, they hurried back to their homes.

Jiang Caixiu’s mother, still seething, reached home and angrily smashed the basin. “What on earth is this? You’re truly shameless! Caixiu reluctantly married her, and she still refuses!”

“…”

“What the h.e.l.l is going on?”

“Mother, is it still not working?” Jiang Caixiu, dragging her injured body, asked. Her gaze reflected a sense of defeat.
