Chapter 179: Not in the right place

Chu Yichen glanced at Chu Lan'er, who stuck out her tongue playfully. He didn't expect his sister to be so quick and tell his mother as soon as she got home.

Chu Yichen blushed and looked embarrassed.

When Mrs. Chu saw her son's look, she was overjoyed. Her son finally came to his senses and found a girl he liked.

She hurriedly urged, "Oh, don't be embarrassed in front of me. Tell me which family you are from. I will ask a matchmaker to come to your house to propose marriage. If it's too late and someone else snatches her away first, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Chu Yichen immediately became anxious when he heard this. Qianhuan was so outstanding, he really had to propose to her as soon as possible.

"Mother, she is not a lady from any family. Her surname is Liang, and her name is Liang Qianhuan. She is a villager of Yunfeng Village. Her parents are farmers. She is the only daughter in the family and has a younger brother who was adopted from her uncle's family."

"What? That girl is from the countryside? Yichen, how do you know this country girl?"

So Chu Yichen told Qianhuan how he met her, "Mom, you all have eaten the sugar-roasted chestnuts I brought back before, they were given to you by Miss Qianhuan."

Mrs. Chu felt something was wrong when she heard this. This woman's family was so poor and she used to make a living by setting up a stall. She was probably seeing that the Chu family was wealthy and powerful, so she deliberately used the opportunity of setting up a stall to give out chestnuts in order to get close to her son.

"Chen'er, although our Chu family is not a family of officials, we have a foundation of several decades and are a well-known family in the whole Lingzhou City. The girl you are talking about was born in the countryside, and she actually went out to do business. Such a girl is not a good match for our family. Mother will not agree to let her marry into the family."

Chu Yichen and Chu Lan'er never dreamed that their mother would have such an attitude.

Chu Yichen became anxious when he heard this, "Mom, I like Miss Qianhuan, and I just want to marry her. I beg you to grant my wish."

"Son, if you really like her, take her back as a concubine and I won't say anything. But if you want to marry her as your principal wife, I will never agree, and your father won't agree either." Mrs. Chu was very determined.

"Mother, being a concubine is too unfair to her, and I can't bear to let her suffer."

"Son, if you really love her and don't want her to suffer any injustice, you can pamper her and protect her after she comes home without saying anything. But a girl from a small family is not worthy of being your legal wife."

"Mom, Qianhuan just has a poor family background. Everything else about her is good. She is beautiful, smart, and kind-hearted. Please agree to let me marry her." Chu Yichen pleaded.

"Chen'er, we must pay attention to the matching of family backgrounds when getting married. She has a poor family background and her parents are from the countryside. She will not be able to help our family's business in the future. She also has a younger brother to raise. She will only become a burden to our Chu family in the future. Such a person must not become the eldest lady of our Chu family."

"Mom, our family doesn't need this little money at all. I can afford it even if I help her support her parents and brother. And although her parents don't have any talents, Qianhuan works very hard. Our Chu family's restaurant business is booming because of her prescriptions. The last time the Ma family set fire, it was because Qianhuan discovered and stopped it in time that our Zuixianju was able to escape the disaster. My son believes that she will not become a burden to our family."

"The Ma family's arson happened in the middle of the night. How could a girl like her appear on the street in the middle of the night? Even if she happened to save our Zuixianju, we can give her any thank-you gift she wants, but we can't give her the position of the eldest young lady. We can also buy the prescription in her hand with money, but which family would let their daughter go out to do business? Only people from small families like them don't know the rules, so they let a daughter go out to earn money. Women should stay in the inner house to take care of their husbands and children. A girl like her will never be content even if you marry her."

Prejudice is really terrible. Because of her background, Mrs. Chu has already cast Qianhuan into the dust, and even thinks that she is a bad woman who approaches her son because she covets her family's property.

"Mom, she goes out to show her face in order to earn money to support the family. Is that wrong?"

"Chen'er, a woman should not go out of the house, and it is definitely not okay to show up in public. Don't worry, mother will choose another lady from a famous family to be your wife, who will definitely be more outstanding than a woman like her who comes from a small family."

"Mom, I don't want a lady from a famous family. If you don't agree to me marrying Qianhuan, I will never marry again in my life."

"You...you actually disobeyed your mother for a country girl?" Mrs. Chu was furious. Her son had never been so rebellious before.

"Mom, I just want to marry the woman I love, and I don't want to disobey you."

Madam Chu said firmly, "I'm tired. You and Lan'er should go back to your room and rest. There's no room for negotiation on this matter. You can be my concubine, but you can't be my wife."

After the two of them left the room, Mrs. Chu felt a lump in her chest. Qiu Hong patted her back to help her breathe. "Madam, don't be so angry. It's not worth it to hurt yourself."

"Qiuhong, Chen'er never contradicted me before, but now she is disobeying her own mother for a piece of dirt. I'm afraid that woman is not a good person."

"Then Madam, why don't you pretend to agree with the young master and go meet that woman tomorrow so that she can give up the idea of ​​entering the Chu family as soon as possible."

"Well, what you said makes sense. Then go and inform the young master early tomorrow morning and tell him that I will meet the woman first before making a decision."

"Yes, ma'am."

Chu Yichen left Mrs. Chu's room with a dejected look on his face.

Chu Lan'er comforted him, "Brother, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have told mother before giving you this advice. I didn't expect that mother would disagree."

"I don't blame you. No matter if you say it earlier or later, you have to say it in the end."

"Brother, seeing how Mother looks, I'm afraid she won't agree to you marrying Qianhuan no matter what. If it really doesn't work out, you should just agree to take her as a concubine first."

"Lan'er, I can't bear to let her be my concubine. That would be too unfair to her."

"It's really unfair. Lan'er admires a woman as independent and confident as Qianhuan. If she could be my sister-in-law, I would be very happy. How about this? I'll go and persuade mother tomorrow to let her meet Qianhuan first. Maybe after seeing Qianhuan, mother will change her mind."

Chu Yichen couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope in his heart, "My dear sister, I would like to thank you in advance."

"Hey, brother, why are you being so polite to me? If you are happy, Lan'er will be very happy too. Go back and have a good sleep, and wait for my good news tomorrow morning."

On the second day, before Qiuhong went to inform Chu Yichen, Chu Lan'er went to lobby Madam Chu first. Madam Chu just wanted to go and see Qianhuan, so she agreed.

So the group took a carriage to the Half-Day Qinghuan Garden.
