Chu Xuyuan shouted at Jiang Zhaoyong’s back and chased after him. “Senior Brother, wait.”

Jiang Zhaoyong turned around. “Is there anything else?”

Chu Xuyuan said expectantly, “Didn’t you say that you would teach us martial arts? When will it start? What do we need to prepare?”

“Oh, about that.” Jiang Zhaoyong pondered. Teach? Or not teach?

Chu Xuyao was not as boisterous as Chu Xuyuan. He slowly walked up the stairs step by step and said calmly, “A gentleman should keep his word. Senior Brother, if you go back on your word, I guarantee that the news of you going back on your word will spread throughout the entire school the next day.”

Jiang Zhaoyong looked at Chu Xuyao’s tiny body and really did not believe it. “If you can do what you say, 1 will immediately teach you martial arts.”

Chu Xuyao did not say anything else. He threw a glance at Jiang Zhaoyong and walked past him into the school.

Chu Xuyuan looked at Jiang Zhaoyong with a look that said, “You’re finished.” Then, he ran after Chu Xuyao. “Ninth Brother, wait for me.”

Ninth Brother was smart to begin with. Moreover, after studying, he seemed to have become smarter. Jiang Zhaoyong was in trouble.

Shuiyun County.

“Buns, fresh steamed buns.”

“Pancakes, fresh pancakes.”

“Goods, top-notch goods. If we miss it, you’ll regret it.”

Both sides of the street were filled with small stalls. The sounds of hawking rose and fell. The pedestrians on the street walked around with baskets and bargained. It was very lively.

Chu Xuhua and Chu Rong led the truck through one street after another. They bought according to the betrothal gift list. This was the first time the father and son were so happy.

Chu Xuhua glanced at the dried straw mushrooms, dried fungus, and dried bamboo fungus. They were all of high quality. “Father, 1 think these are good. Why don’t we buy some back?”

Chu Rong nodded. “Let me see.”

The father and son walked to the stall and started to choose…

“Chu First…” A very excited and surprised voice sounded behind Chu Xuhua. After he heard it, his expression turned ugly.

“Chu First…” The voice came closer.

Chu Rong turned around to find that it was Fan Jiayao.

She was dressed in gray and wore a gray headscarf. Her hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin, and her skin was yellow. She looked unhealthy.

He immediately frowned. In the past, she used to despise their family for being poor and was worried that she would suffer after marrying into the family. Why was she so happy to see Xuhua now?

“Do we know you?” Although Chu Rong was honest, it did not mean that he was a pushover.

Fan Jiayao’s expression froze, and her excitement faded. “I’m Fan Jiayao. Now that you’re rich, you don’t recognize me anymore?”

When the surrounding people heard this, the way they looked at Chu Rong immediately changed…

When Chu Xuhua heard this, he thought to himself, When did Fan Jiayao learn to play these tricks? To think that he used to like this woman. Only now did he know how blind he was!

He turned around and stared at Fan Jiayao coldly. “You despise my family for being poor and broke off the engagement. Now that my family is better off, you want to get close to me. Why should we talk to someone like you?”

With that, he pointed at Fan Jiayao’s hair. “And have you forgotten that you’re already married?”

Only then did the onlookers notice that Fan Jiayao had already combed her hair up. They immediately thought of what Chu Xuhua had said just now and the way they looked at Fan Jiayao was filled with disdain…

When Fan Jiayao saw that Chu Xuhua’s words had worked, she couldn’t help but be a little anxious. “Chu First, I was forced by my mother to marry. Your family didn’t prepare the betrothal gifts, so I could only cancel the engagement.”

Chu Xuhua had a new understanding of this woman. “Fan Jiayao, what do you mean my family didn’t prepare betrothal gifts? My mother asked the matchmaker to visit your house a few times. Your mother said that there was no hurry, and you avoided us. Now, you’re accusing us of this. Don’t you have a conscience?”

Fan Jiayao was speechless. “I…”

Chu Rong did not want Fan Jiayao to ruin their good mood. He said coldly, “Hurry up and leave. We still have to buy betrothal gifts to propose marriage.”

Fan Jiayao immediately exploded. She looked at the boxes in the truck. They were actually betrothal gifts. She was instantly jealous. “Who are you marrying?”

The onlookers began to point fingers at Fan Jiayao. This woman was too shameless. She abandoned her fiance first, and now that she saw that her fiance was rich, she ran back. This kind of woman was the most despicable.

Chu Xuhua said coldly, “Does it have anything to do with you?”

Fan Jiayao stared at Chu Xuhua and squeezed out the words from between her teeth. “Tell me. Who are you going to marry?”

Chu Xuhua was annoyed. “I said it has nothing to do with you. Hurry up and leave.” He didn’t want to talk to Fan Jiayao anymore. He turned around and continued choosing goods.

Fan Jiayao couldn’t accept it. These were originally hers. Now, she watched helplessly as they were snatched away by another woman. She roared, “Chu First, how can you marry someone else? How can you marry someone else?!”

Chu Rong said angrily, “If my son doesn’t marry someone else, then who? You? You’re a woman who despises the poor and loves the rich. If he marries you, I’m afraid my family will be in chaos!”

Fan Jiayao reprimanded, “It’s all your fault. It’s all your fault. Why didn’t you earn money earlier? If you had, I would have married Chu First.”

Chu Rong was disgusted.

Chu Xuhua quickly bought the goods and paid. “Dad, let’s go.”

He did not want to say another word to Fan Jiayao. This woman had gone crazy!

Fan Jiayao ran over and stopped Chu Xuhua. “Chu First, can you marry me? I’ll be your wife. As long as you agree, I’ll go back and divorce immediately.”

The scene fell silent. Everyone was shocked by what this woman said.

Chu Xuhua was certain that Fan Jiayao had gone completely crazy for money. “I won’t marry you. Fan Jiayao, you’re already married. Leave.”

Fan Jiayao cried and shook her head. “Chu First, why didn’t you give me any chance?”

Fan Jiayao actually pushed all the blame to him. Chu Xuhua was speechless. “Father, I’ll leave first. You can go shopping alone.”

He walked past Fan Jiayao and left in a hurry.

He had to leave first. Otherwise, Fan Jiayao would definitely pester them.

Fan Jiayao wanted to catch Chu Xuhua, but she missed. She could not catch up to Chu Xuhua and could only watch him disappear in sight. “Chu First, why are you so heartless?”

Chu Rong shook his head and led the horse away. To be honest, if Fan Jiayao had not broken off the engagement back then, everything would have been hers now. However, once she missed it, she missed it forever.

Fan Jiayao looked ahead as if there was a mountain of gold there, but she could only look and never get it.

She stumbled towards the gold mountain in her eyes and muttered something under her breath…

After that, Chu Xuhua never saw Fan Jiayao again, and no one knew what happened to her. This person seemed to have disappeared from this world forever..
