Ultimate Supreme Soldier King

So, despite everyone feeling that Zhao Di marrying Ah Shi would be her ruin,

nobody could stop it.

"It's such a pity..."

"Yes, such a good girl, if she marries Ah Shi, she'll just be ruined."

"..."

People could only shake their heads in secrecy.

Unless Zhao Di's mother objected.

Otherwise, not even the Big Landlord could do anything about it.

But Zhao Di's mother was already vulnerable, how could she dare to resist?

This news quickly spread throughout the entire Yangquan Village.

In Yangquan Village, arranged marriages by parents were not uncommon, and families adhered to the principle that filial piety comes first.

Hence, even if unwilling, one had to nod in agreement in the end.

Men were still somewhat okay; they had a bit of the right to choose, but girls basically had to accept their fate.

If it were someone else, Zhao Di would've gritted her teeth and agreed.

But Ah Shi was...

"Mom..." Zhao Di had no choice but to seek help from her mother.

Mom wiped away her tears and said, "Child, your father passed away early, if not for Uncle Ah Tu, I'm afraid we would've starved to death, you see you're in your twenties now, and still not married, it might be better to just marry Ah Shi."

"Don't blame your mother for being so heartless, if today, there was another man willing to marry you, mom would consider it again."

Zhao Di cast a hopeful look at the Zhuang family men who came to watch the excitement.

Marrying someone else would be better than marrying a dwarf.

Although their gazes towards her were intense.

But to ask them to marry a woman taller than themselves, they still felt a bit intimidated.

The custom of Zhuang family people is that men must be able to dominate the women.

In the entire Yangquan Village, there probably aren't many men who could dominate Zhao Di.

One by one, they avoided Zhao Di's gaze.

In the end, Zhao Di's gaze fell on Su Chen.

At this moment, there was no one else to rely on.

If it were this man...

Su Chen sighed.

Actually, at this time, he really shouldn't have stepped forward.

Because he could not possibly marry Zhao Di.

But he owed Zhao Di, and, after all, Zhao Di was his woman; he couldn't just watch her jump into the fire pit.

"I'll marry her!"

However, before Su Chen had time to step forward, a Zhuang family man came over carrying a big sack.

Thud!

He dropped the sack on the ground, and without a seal, the contents inside rolled out.

Turned out to be a sack of silver ornaments.

It was Ah Hua.

He was taller than Zhao Di.

And he had always liked Zhao Di.

"Mom, I now formally ask for your daughter's hand in marriage, please give me Yi Yang to marry," Ah Hua said loudly.

Yi Yang was Zhao Di's real name.

Zhao Di's parents had wanted another son, so they gave Zhao Di a nickname, Zhao Di.

But before a son could be born, Zhao Di's father passed away.

Mom hadn't expected someone to really propose to Zhao Di, she was a bit overwhelmed at the moment.

But it was Ah Tu, who glanced indifferently at Ah Hua and said: "You want to marry my daughter?"

"Yes, Uncle Ah Tu, I will treat her well!" Ah Hua said earnestly.

Ah Tu nodded, and then kicked the burlap sack that Ah Hua had thrown on the ground, only then did he say contemptuously, "With just this bunch of lousy silver you want to marry my daughter, you are really delusional!"

Saying this, he nodded at his own dwarfish son Ah Shi.

Ah Shi understood, and directly went into the house, carrying a big chest over.

Thud!

The chest landed, making a muffled sound.

Opened, inside was filled with glittering gold.

It was a chest of gold!

The Zhuang family had plenty of silver, but gold was scarce.

However, this did not mean they couldn't recognize gold or were unaware of its value.

Everyone was stunned, including A Hua.

To marry Zhao Di, he had been saving money, and it was not easy to gather that much silver.

But he didn't expect that someone would directly produce a chest of gold!

Since when did A Tu become so wealthy?

"Let me tell you all, this is all earned by my son A Shi during the years he left the village," A Tu said with pride on his face.

Looking at the gold, then back at his own linen bag, A Hua couldn't help but hang his head.

"Zhao Di, do you still think it's a disadvantage to marry my son? If A Shi didn't like you, what kind of woman couldn't he get?" A Tu snorted lightly.

Indeed, money talks.

It's the same anywhere.

Previously, people thought that Zhao Di marrying A Shi was like a flower stuck in cow dung.

But at this moment, they didn't think so anymore.

With so much gold, even without doing anything, wouldn't it be enough to live well for several generations?

Maybe they could even leave the mountains to experience the big cities outside.

A Tu's words were not an exaggeration at all.

Even in the big cities, there were plenty of women who wanted to marry his son.

This world is like that.

With money, you can have women.

"But Zhao Di has said, whoever she marries must be the man with the best archery!" A Hua was not ready to give up.

"Archery?" A Tu sneered, "Do you think you're the man with the best archery in the village?"

A Hua froze.

Before Su Chen came, he dared to say such things.

But after witnessing Su Chen's archery skills, he realized that there are always people better than oneself.

However, for Zhao Di, A Hua decided to go for broke.

He took out the bow and arrow he had prepared in advance.

Then he stood thirty meters away from the target.

Zhao Di loved archery, so there was a target outside her house. ThelatestchaptersareuploadedfirstonM|V|LE3MPYR.

Normally, standing twenty meters away, A Hua could easily hit the bullseye.

But thirty meters was quite a stretch.

Yet, he had to stand thirty meters away.

Because at twenty meters, there were many in the village who could hit the bullseye.

To showcase his archery, he must surpass everyone, including Su Chen!

Swoosh!

After aiming, A Hua finally released the arrow.

Thud!

The arrow accurately hit the exact center of the target.

A Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

Clearly, under immense pressure, he had performed beyond his usual level.

The maximum range of the Zhuang Family's bow was fifty meters; at thirty meters, the arrow would already be very shaky, and the probability of hitting the target was almost none.

Not only did A Hua hit the target, but he also hit the bullseye, which was indeed very impressive.

"A Hua is impressive."

"Good going, A Hua!"

"..."

Applause rang out from the surrounding crowd.

In fact, aside from Zhao Di, other girls also considered archery as one of the standards when choosing a spouse.

After all, good archery meant more game could be caught, preventing hunger.

Being able to hit the bullseye from thirty meters away, A Hua's claim to be the best archer in the village shouldn't be a big problem.

Perhaps even Su Chen couldn't beat him.

Watching this scene, A Shi just sneered disdainfully, then said, "A bunch of frogs at the bottom of a well! A Shi, show him a thing or two."
