Chapter 1425 - 1427: Did You Say You’re Engaged Yet?
"Are you talking about the Li Family that owns a lot of land?"
Yang Gang’s wife asked in surprise. If it’s that Li Family, she knows them.
Rumor has it that the Li Family has a daughter, about fourteen or fifteen, and no one has come to propose marriage, so her reputation is terrible.
The reason is that the girl, at such a young age, is short and overweight like a pig, weighing a full two hundred pounds. You could tell from her figure that she loves to eat.
If she were just fat, it might still be okay. It wouldn’t be impossible to find a husband.
After all, the Li Family is wealthy, and there would be people willing to marry in for their wealth.
But the real issue is that the Li Family’s daughter is said to be incredibly ugly, with a face like a flatbread and features all squeezed together. She was not pleasant to look at.
If someone were to marry her, no man would want to kiss her.
If it were just for money, marrying the Li Family’s daughter wouldn’t be impossible. At worst, she could just be kept at home, and with money, one could take a concubine or have a mistress outside for offspring.
But that wouldn’t work either. Because it’s said the Li Family is famously indulgent with their daughter, and otherwise, she wouldn’t have been fed so excessively. She doesn’t do any household chores, as her hands are never put to work. She’s as pampered as can be. How could they allow their daughter’s man to marry another or secretly keep a mistress?
If discovered, wouldn’t that result in getting beaten to death? What good days would there be?
Rather than spend a lifetime with such an unappealing face, it’s better to find someone more decent. That’s why no one comes to propose.
Of course, these are just rumors from outsiders. She had never been to Stone Village, nor did she know the Li Family, so she had no idea of the real situation, nor what kind of person the Li Family’s daughter was.
Not only was Yang Gang’s wife surprised, but several others in the courtyard perked up their ears, waiting for Li Chuntao to respond. They’d heard the rumors, too. Stone Village was quite far from them, but the reputation of two girls from there who couldn’t marry had spread to Yang Family Village.
One of them was their own third brother’s wife, and the other was the Li Family’s daughter.
Initially, they agreed to the marriage of their third brother and his wife under pressure, but it turned out that after getting to know her, their third brother’s wife was nothing like the rumors. Their third brother had found a treasure.
It’s said that the third brother’s wife got along well with the Li Family’s daughter. Since the third brother’s wife was so good, the Li Family’s daughter couldn’t be that bad either. They just didn’t know if she was the girl in front of them.
Because it was nothing like the rumors. The rumors said the girl was very fat and very ugly.
But the girl in front of them was very thin and very pretty.
Li Chuntao had no idea that these people in the yard had thought so much. She was just happy they’d heard of her family and cheerfully replied, "Yes, yes, that’s my family. Do you know them?"
Hearing this, everyone was a bit stunned. It really was the rumored Li Family.
Could the Li Family have several daughters?
Although Yang Gang’s wife was curious and could say anything in front of family, she knew her limits around outsiders. She knew she couldn’t directly ask Li Chuntao if she was the rumored fat girl.
So she changed her wording, "Ah, no, no, it’s just that I’ve heard third brother’s wife mention it in passing. So I asked. Chuntao, who is in your family right now? Have you been proposed to?"
