Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Stone Village Li Family

Li Chuntao’s mother was beaming, smiling from ear to ear, "Daughter, three matchmakers just came by, all wanting to propose marriage. Do you fancy any of them?"

While speaking, Li Chuntao’s mother handed over three portraits for Li Chuntao to look at, which were brought by the matchmakers.

"Look at this one, he looks pretty good, his build is similar to our family, good family background too, owns a wine shop in the County, and his age is comparable to yours, just two years older!"

Li Chuntao glanced at that portrait, indeed somewhat resembling their family. When would her mother’s aesthetics ever become normal!

Seeing her daughter not speaking, Li Chuntao’s mother remained undeterred and moved on to the next portrait.

"This one is also from the County, I’ve heard he’s the nephew of the Lord County Magistrate. Although he’s a bit older, three years your senior, it’s still acceptable. A few years’ difference is no big deal."

Li Chuntao looked at the portrait and still didn’t speak. Who was the Lord County Magistrate? Could his nephew be any good?

Seeing her daughter wasn’t interested again, Li Chuntao’s mother took out the third portrait.

"How about this one? Take a look. His conditions aren’t as good, appearance is somewhat average, but the family runs a grocery store in our town, and he’s read a few years of books, so you should have common topics."

Li Chuntao looked at the picture; indeed, her mother’s taste was questionable. The one she claimed was average-looking was actually not bad at all.

Seeing her daughter took a few more glances at this portrait, Li Chuntao’s mother felt hopeful and said, "Daughter, if you think this one is fine, we can tell the matchmaker, so you two can meet and get to know each other first. If you find it unsuitable, we can find a chance to observe from a distance."

Li Chuntao thought that this was a feasible solution. She didn’t find love at first sight highly reliable, let alone having parents decide without meeting.

Fortunately, her parents considered her in their thoughts, so she might as well meet him first. Thus, she said, "Alright, I’ll listen to you, Mother. Let’s meet this one!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chuntao’s mother was overjoyed; after such a selection, this was the first one her daughter actually took a liking to. She even thought her daughter was about to tire of the choices!

"Great, I’ll go inform the matchmaker right away!"

In the main hall, three matchmakers were waiting for news. The daughter of the Li Family was known as a beauty in the area, though no one knew how the news got out.

Added to this, with the Li Family being small landlords in this area, the family conditions were naturally good.

Moreover, Li Chuntao’s affairs with the academy were also well-known.

This made Li Chuntao someone desirable for marriage in others’ eyes.

Numerous matchmakers became quite busy, as many households had sent them seeking marriage proposals.

As Li Chuntao’s mother came out, they all stood up immediately.

"Sister, what does your daughter say? I think you should agree with my proposal - the County Magistrate’s nephew, that’s a great opportunity to become relatives with someone of status."

Hearing this, another matchmaker with a silk flower in her hair immediately stepped forward, "Sister, let me tell you, you should carefully consider. My candidate owns a wine shop, the conditions couldn’t be lacking, and his build is like yours, very wealthy-looking, clearly like one of your family!"

At this moment, another matchmaker wearing a cotton dress also stepped forward. The family she was helping indeed had lesser conditions compared to the other two families, but wasn’t matchmaking about talking things up?

No matter the shortcomings, she had to present them well!
