Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 420: Chapter 420: When a Woman Pursues a Man, It’s Like a Layer of Gauze – High Success Rate Xiaoxiao repeated the idea that in the modern era, a city could have only one agent. She sought out capable agents and wasn’t scared of being copied because she had many more tricks up her sleeve.

”Xiaoxiao, that’s a great idea. Let’s do as you said. I’ll go back and hire the salesperson you mentioned to negotiate in the other counties,” said Silver.

Silver was someone who acted decisively. It looked like this deal was going to succeed. She hadn’t expected her lingerie to sell like this and was finally on her way out of poverty towards a comfortable life.

”Right, remember to sign a contract and do everything according to the agreement.”

”Don’t worry about that, I know,” Silver reassured Xiaoxiao with a confident look.

They discussed their business for a while and hammered out the details. The better their conversation went, the more their spirits lifted. It was if they could see the beckoning of gleaming silver, highlighting once again their mutual fondness for wealth.

Suddenly, Silver smirked, ”Xiaoxiao, did you get your wish?”

”Wish for what?” Xiaoxiao was clueless about what Silver was referring to.

”Oh come on, you know, the... wedding night,” Silver hinted with a wink, implying Xiaoxiao should understand what she meant.

”...” Is it really okay for a young woman to ask such things?

Feeling slightly embarrassed and blushing, Xiaoxiao said, ”He was almost dead, his body couldn’t have possibly recovered that quickly.”

This made Silver think something else entirely and she exclaimed loudly, ”Xiaoxiao!”

Xiaoxiao, speechless, said, ”Silver, keep it down.”

Realizing she had gotten carried away, Silver lowered her voice, ”Xiaoxiao, is it possible he was so smoky that he can dig through earth but can’t celebrate the wedding night?”

”...” Silver’s imagination was truly wild. How could she be more open-minded than a modern person? Xiaoxiao replied embarrassingly, ”Ah, you’re thinking too much, it won’t be long now.”

Seeing Silver’s mischievous smile, it was astonishing how Silver seemed more excited about Xiaoxiao’s wedding night than Xiaoxiao herself.

”And you, Silver, how’s it going with the search for your charming prince?”

As soon as Xiaoxiao finished her question, the smile faded from Silver’s face.

”...” Did she ask the wrong question? In just over half a month, how easy could it be to find someone? ”Silver, there’s no need to rush, take your time.”

Slumping over the table dejectedly, Silver said pitifully, ”Xiaoxiao, I might end up alone for the rest of my life.”

”...” How had her attitude changed so much in just half a month? What happened to the persevering Silver who seemed indestructible in her pursuit of a partner?

”That can’t be. There’s still plenty of time,” Xiaoxiao reassured her.

”It’s indeed possible. Now, all the matchmakers in the city refuse to set me up.”

”...” Eh, what happened? Was she blacklisted by the matchmakers? ”Why’s that?”

”...” Why, indeed. She didn’t want to say it, but she had a pretty good guess—it must’ve been because of that scoundrel’s marriage proposal, which scared off other potential suitors, fearing they would offend the Chu Family.

Seeing Silver so downhearted, Xiaoxiao immediately tried to cheer her up, ”Even if no matchmaker will set you up, it doesn’t matter. We’ve pretty much exhausted the local options anyway. If there’s no suitable match here, why not look in other counties, right?”

Silver’s eyes lit up at this suggestion, and she quickly got to her feet, ”Right, how come I didn’t think of that!”

”...” Xiaoxiao was speechless. Did Silver use all her brains for business? It seemed nobody’s perfect, after all; everyone has their foolish moments.

After searching in the same place for so many years, wasn’t she just running into the same people over and over again?

”Or if you meet someone you like while doing business outside, you could chase after him. There’s a saying, ’When a woman chases a man, it’s only a veil apart,’ which means your chances are high.”
