However, the girl that Xia Zhe was going to marry was Qiao Mei! If the bride was Qiao Yu or another girl, they would think that Xia Zhe's taste was quite normal. Although Qiao Yu was average-looking, her father was a village tyrant and Qiao Yu's second sister-in-law, Wang Qin, was an accountant who controlled the village's funds and work points. If a man married Qiao Yu, he would be able to gain a firm foothold in the village.
Over the years, there had been many families who proposed marriage to Qiao Yu, but it was Qiao Zhuang's plan to "sell" Qiao Yu for a good price.
Although he was old, he was not a muddle-headed person. With his status in the village, he would want to receive a lot of betrothal gifts when he married off his daughter. He became even more pompous, especially after seeing the betrothal gifts Xia Zhe gave Qiao Mei. He felt that Qiao Yu was better than that fatty Qiao Mei, which was why it led to that matter with the Guo family.
