Mrs. He smiled and said, "That's just because she's smart and figured things out. I never believed Juhua would be unable to marry. It was just those people worrying about things that weren't their business."
At the mention of this, Mrs. Yang's expression soured. "All those proposals and rejections, or the ones who just plain looked down on my Juhua, I don't really take any of it to heart—doesn't every family choose their daughters-in-law and sons-in-law the same way? What really gets me is that wretched Matchmaker Wang and Liu'er's mother. What did my Juhua ever do to them? For them to be so brazen about trying to marry her off to an old man. You tell me, how could I not be furious? I still get mad just thinking about it."
