The middle-aged woman was not bothered. “Hey, Ying’er!” she said with a shrill voice, “I, as your matchmaker, is thinking for your good. You might hate me now, but you’ll learn how to be grateful to me in the future.”
Then, she turned to face the crowd and yelled, “Boss Feng! Why aren’t you here to fetch your darling wife home?”
A youth emerged from the crowd. He was dressed in a business suit and leather shoes, and held a bouquet and a small black box in his hands.
He walked in front of Shi Dazhu and gave him a condescending glance. “Shi Dazhu, you keep on saying that you will bring happiness to Ying’er, but do you have the ability?” He said coldly.
“Look at your house, then look at this village. It’s so deep in the mountains that birds won’t even stop here. You’ll never escape your fate of being a poor person, and Ying’er will suffer because of you.
“As for me, I can give Ying’er happiness right now. If you’re a man, then you should step back and never bother Ying’er anymore.”
Shi Dazhu gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
“Hmph! Useless piece of crap!” Feng Jun smirked and turned to face Gao Ying. He kneeled on one knee and lifted the small black box. “Marry me, Ying’er!” He said passionately.
He opened the small black box and revealed a sparkling diamond ring.
“See this? It’s a diamond ring. The diamond itself is already worth five digits!” The matchmaker shrieked.
“Wow!” Everyone around them exclaimed.
No one in the village could spend a few ten thousand yuan to buy a diamond ring.
Gao Ying remained unmoved. “Know when to quit, Feng Jun! I will never marry you,” she said coldly.
“You.…”Feng Jun’s expression stiffened. His face turned red with embarrassment, then anger.
The direct rejection was like a slap on his face. He did not know how he did not compare to the poor kid from a remote village.
“Tell me, Ying’er, am I still lacking in something? Why won’t you accept me? Look at this shabby place. If you married Shi Dazhu, you’ll have to live here. Look at these villagers, they’re all lowly and uncivilized…” Feng Jun roared agitatedly as he pointed to the people all around them.
The villagers’ faces darkened when they heard him speak. They were beginning to show hostility.
“Look at these run-down houses, this sh- Ow!”
A stone struck Feng Jun’s forehead. He cried out in pain.
“Dammit, who hit me? Do you have a death wish?”
He glared all around him with big, round eyes.
“Who did that? Stand out here at once!” He roared.
He had just finished speaking when a silhouette moved amid the crowd and stood in front of him. It was a boy in a white button-down shirt with a hoe on his shoulder. His pants were stained with mud and he looked just like a farmer.
“Dammit, you disgusting farmer, you dare hit me?”
Feng Jun threw the bouquet to the ground and stomped toward him. He rolled up his sleeves as if wanting to teach Tang Hao a lesson.
Tang Hao rolled his eyes and delivered a tight slap when Feng Jun came close. “Yes, I’m hitting you. What about it? You have a filthy mouth. No wonder she doesn’t like you.”
Slap!
The slap was heard far and wide. It had slapped Feng Jun silly. He stumbled backward while covering his face.
He did not believe that a mere peasant farmer had brazenly slapped his face in front of everyone!
Mrs. Gao, the matchmaker, and his posse were all dumbfounded. Their mouths were agape as they witnessed the scene.
Even Shi Dazhu, Gao Ying, and the rest also had the same expression on their faces.
The villagers were cheering. Some were even clapping.
“That’s a good one, Lil Hao!”
“Nice one, Lil Hao! Slap him again!”
Tang Hao took another great stride forward and lifted his palm again.
Slap!
It was even louder than the previous one.
Feng Jun stumbled backward and fell onto the ground. He was utterly dumbfounded.

Feng Jun sat on the ground with a stupefied expression.
He still could not believe that he was slapped twice in a row by a peasant farmer from a mountain village.
“Assault!” The matchmaker shrieked.
Some people among the crowd were Feng Jun’s posse. They rushed forward with angry faces.
“What are you doing? You want to bully Lil Hao?” The villagers were all up in arms.
Who was Tang Hao if not for the benefactor of the village? He had built a wide asphalt road for the village and was also setting up a medicinal herb plantation to develop the village. He was the hope of Dragonrock Village. How could the villagers let outsiders bully him?
The villagers picked up whatever tools available to them and crowded around.
The group of people were pissing their pants and turned pale when they saw the scene.
They only had a few people. If they were to fight, they would lose in numbers.
“You… You bunch of violent peasants! Shameless, violent peasants! What do you want?” The matchmaker shrieked.
Tang Hao smirked coldly and stepped forward.
“What… What do you want?” The matchmaker retreated a few steps. Her face was pale as a sheet.
“What do I want? Isn’t it obvious? I want to slap you!” Tang Hao said coldly and lifted his palm.
Slap!
The slap landed on the matchmaker’s left cheek.
She yelped in pain and stumbled backward. Her left cheek was immediately swollen.
“You… You… You dare hit me?” The matchmaker shrieked. Her face was contorted.
“Why wouldn’t I dare to hit you? You have a filthy mouth, and ought to be taught a lesson.” Tang Hao smirked. He took another step forward and lifted his palm again.
Slap!
The slap landed on the other cheek.
The matchmaker fell sitting down on the ground. Her hair was scattered and her face was swollen. She looked pathetic.
The people from the Gao family could only stare at the scene dumbfounded.
They could not understand. They were so close to succeeding, but the event had evolved in such a manner. Who was that person? He looked young, though he behaved so brazenly. He had slapped two people in a row!
“You, you, you… filthy peasant, you’re dead meat! I tell you, you’re dead! I’ll call the police to arrest you, then I’ll bankrupt you.” Feng Jun roared at Tang Hao as he was helped to his feet by his posse.
“And you too, you bunch of violent peasants, you can’t get away!” He yelled as he pointed at the villagers around him.
He laughed viciously, then took out his phone from his pocket.
“I’m making the call now!” Feng Jun waved his hand with the phone and taunted.
“Make the call then! Idiot!” Tang Hao rolled his eyes.
Feng Jun nearly exploded in anger when he heard that.
How brazen could this kid get? He would not be able to forgive himself if that kid walked away unpunished.
“Alright, I’m making the call now!” He smiled viciously and dialed the phone number of the police station in town.
“Hello? I’m making a police report. Send someone to Dragonrock Village now. There’s a violent peasant here and he just slapped me. Come and arrest him now!” Feng Jun said agitatedly.
The dispatcher who picked up the call mumbled something. He was about to ask for details but he was suddenly shocked. “Did you say, Dragonrock Village?”
“Yes, that Dragonrock Village, the one so remote that birds won’t even stop there! It’s just a poor mountain village with barren land, and it’s full of violent villagers!” Feng Jun said.
The dispatcher was nervous. He knew that the previous superintendent w
as removed from his post after crossing someone at Dragonrock Village.
The new superintendent had mentioned that they ought to take good care of Dragonrock Village. Most importantly, they should not cross one person there named Tang Hao.
The dispatcher felt something ominous. “What’s the name of the person who slapped you?”
“Well… I’m not too sure, but he slapped me anyway. Just send someone here! Oh, right, I think it’s something Hao. He’s very young,” Feng Jun said.
The dispatcher broke out in cold sweat instantly.
‘Oh no! It’s really that Tang Hao! I’m washing my hands of this.’
He wiped the sweat off his brow. “Hello? Hello? Are you still there? Oh my, there must be some problem with the reception. I should get someone to fix this,” he pretended to yell through the phone, then ended the call.
Feng Jun stood there dumbfounded.
What the hell was going on?
What was wrong with that dispatcher? He could hear him loud and clear, there was no problem!
He came to his senses after a long while. The dispatcher was obviously scared. He was scared after hearing that person’s name, so scared that he immediately hung up the call.
Was Tang Hao not a mere peasant farmer? How could a police officer be so afraid of him?
Did that mean the peasant farmer was an extremely dangerous individual, that even the police force did not want to deal with him?
Feng Jun trembled uncontrollably when he reached that conclusion.
“See that, Ying’er? All the people here are violent and uncivilized,” Feng Jun rushed in front of Gao Ying and said urgently, “Even the police don’t dare to come here. If you marry and live here, you’ll be in big trouble! Go home with me!”
Tang Hao kicked him aside. “What do you mean ‘violent and uncivilized’? There’s no such thing in Dragonrock Village. We’re all honest and down-to-earth people.”
Feng Jun, the matchmaker, and the others nearly popped a vein.
‘He slapped two people without provocation. Do you call that down-to-earth?’
Tang Hao grinned at Shi Dazhu and Gao Ying. “Bro Dazhu, and Sister-in-law, don’t you worry. I’ll solve this problem for you. It’s just the bride price, right? I’ll foot the bill. Treat it as my present to you.”
“Lil Hao, you… you shouldn’t,” Shi Dazhu said urgently.
His uncle and aunt were also flustered. “You shouldn’t, Lil Hao. We can’t ask for you to pay the bride price.”
“It’s fine!” Tang Hao waved his hands.
Feng Jun smirked. “Heh! What a big mouth! Do you think a peasant farmer like you can have a hundred thousand yuan? What a joke.”
“It’s nothing! Though, is a hundred thousand yuan going to be enough? You are willing to pay five hundred thousand yuan, right? Then I’ll top that with eight hundred thousand yuan. Nah, let’s round it up to a million.”
Feng Jun was dumbstruck. Even Mrs. Gao, the matchmaker, and Feng Jun’s posse were also dumbstruck.
‘What is this guy talking about? A million yuan? How would a peasant farmer like him have a million yuan lying around somewhere to pay for someone else’s bride price? What a big joke!’
Shi Dazhu and his parents also had dumbfounded expressions on their faces. They knew that Tang Hao was talented and had some money, but they did not expect that he was so rich!
“Hmph! That’s a bald-faced lie. A peasant like you won’t earn a million yuan in your lifetime!” The matchmaker mocked him while covering her cheeks.
Tang Hao ignored her. He took out his phone and dialed Liu Dajun’s number.
“Hello? Big Bro Liu? My cousin brother is getting married but he’s a little short. Can you bring me a million yuan in cash? Oh, right, and a new car too, something around four hundred thousand yuan is fine.”
After that, he hung up the call.
Chapter 83 - Disgraced
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Yeah, that sure sounds like it!”
The matchmaker sneered at him with a look of disdain.
“Who are you trying to scare? You’re just a lousy peasant, I don’t even know if you have ten thousand yuan, never mind a million! Not to mention, a car that costs 400 thousand yuan? I think you’ve gone mad!”
Feng Jun then added, “I, on the other hand, want to see how you’re going to come up with a million yuan!”
He thought it was ridiculous. This dirty peasant was dressed so poorly. It only took him one look to know that he was poor.
Yet, this poor man kept talking about presenting a million yuan as the bride price as if it was nothing. His casual tone made it seemed as if money came as easily as the wind.
If this was not a joke, what was it?
If this guy was not an idiot, then he was just trying to scare him, so there was no way he would fall for his schemes.
Instead, he intended to watch this guy make a fool of himself.
Mrs. Gao stood at the side as she looked at Tang Hao, then at uncle and the rest, her expression full of shock and suspicion.
This young man did not dress like a wealthy person at all! Moreover, he looked way too young.
However, judging by the expressions of the other people, they seemed to think that this young man was capable of producing such a large sum of money, which seemed a little absurd to her.
It was a million yuan!
Even in the county seat, there were not many families who could produce such a large amount of money, let alone someone in this remote mountain village.
Tang Hao glanced at Feng Jun coldly, then he glanced at the matchmaker and said, “You’ll find out whether or not I’ll be able to get the money soon enough. What’s the rush?”
Then, he winked at Shi Dazhu. “Bro Dazhu, why don’t you bring out a few stools?”
Dazhu was stunned for a moment, then quickly snapped out it and rushed inside the house to bring out a few stools. He passed the stools to Mrs. Gao and the people from the Gao family. Then, he handed one to Tang Hao as well.
“Lil Hao, I…I can’t take your money! Weren’t you planning on starting a plantation? You’ll need money for that too!” Shi Dazhu said, ashamed.
“It’s fine, Bro Dazhu, just think of it as a congratulatory gift.”
Tang Hao said, smiling through gritted teeth.
Ever since he was a kid, he had always had a good relationship with his cousin Dazhu. His eldest uncle’s family had always treated him well too. As Tang Hao was a loyal person who knew to repay good deeds, naturally, he had to compensate him.
During this time, he had earned a lot of money. There was eight or nine million in his card alone, so a million did not mean too much to him.
“Then… then, a million is still too much. You don’t have to give us so much.” Shi Dazhu said.
“That’s right! Lil Hao, you don’t have to give us so much.” His uncle chimed in as well.
Gao Ying stood at the side in a daze.
Was it possible that Dazhu’s cousin brother was capable of producing a million yuan? That would be somewhat alarming!
Meanwhile, the villagers discussed amongst themselves fervently. Their exchanges consisted mainly of shock and envy, and they could only curse the fact that they did not have relatives that were as capable as Lil Hao.
After waiting for around half an hour, Feng Jun began to feel a little impatient.
“You bastard, where’s the money you were talking about, huh?” He looked at Tang Hao and asked him coldly.
“What’s the rush? Just wait a bit!” Tang Hao replied nonchalantly.
“Haha! It’s already come to this, yet you’re still pretending?” Feng Jun laughed coldly with a look of disdain. “If a stinky peasant like you can take out a million yuan, then from now on, I, Feng Jun, will write my name backward.”
He ended his sentence with a scoff.
However, soon after that, he heard a commotion from the nearby crowd. Someone
peered out at the village entrance and yelled, “It’s here! It’s here!”
Feng Jun was stunned for a moment, but then quickly sneered and thought to himself, ‘Right on time, just watch me expose your lies.’
With that thought in mind, he raised his head and looked toward the direction in which the villagers were staring.
It would have been fine if he did not look, but the moment he did, he was dumbstruck.
Dear God! What was he looking at? On the road of this poor mountain village was a long line of luxury cars.
“That… That’s a Rolls-Royce, that… that’s a BMW…”
Feng Jun’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
“Impossible… that’s impossible! Birds don’t even want to take a dump in this place, how are there be so many luxury cars here? A coincidence! It must just be a coincidence,” Feng Jun tried to reassure himself.
However, when he took a closer look, he noticed a car covered with festive red silk in the convoy. That was when it felt like he had been struck by lightning; he was completely baffled.
The matchmaker was stunned too.
“How…” Her mutters trailed off, a look of disbelief plastered across her face.
As the Gao family watched the scene unfold, they were all stunned as well.
It was already shocking enough that so many luxury cars would appear at the same place at the same time. However, the fact that these luxury cars were just here to deliver a bride price was what truly stupefied them.
With just one call, he had managed to summon so many luxury cars. Just what kind of person was this young man?
They turned around and looked at the young man standing at the side, staring at him in a daze.
The villagers who had seen this earlier on were not as shocked, but they were all still extremely enthusiastic. As for Shi Dazhu and Gao Ying, who were seeing this for the first time, they were stunned.
Very soon, the convoy entered the village.
Liu Dajun was the first to step out of the car, holding two boxes and bringing Jin Biao along. President Li and the others had come too.
