"Exactly, the Cui family is nothing but a pit of fire. After Second Cui’s first wife was tormented to death by Granny Cui, no one nearby dared to marry their daughter into that family again. Second Cui couldn’t find a bride, so you decided to scheme against Yuan Chun. Aren’t you just taking advantage of the fact that Yuan Chun has lost her husband and has no one to back her up?"

"You heartless Matchmaker Li, you’ve earned so much dirty money. How can you sleep peacefully at night? Aren’t you afraid those women you’ve harmed will stand by your bed in the middle of the night demanding vengeance?"

"My youngest daughter is fifteen, and I was thinking of asking Matchmaker Li to find a good family for her when she turns seventeen in a couple of years. Now, haha... I wouldn’t dare trouble her with it."

"That Matchmaker Li is heartless. Several girls from our village who got married are not living well."

"Yeah, at first, Matchmaker Li would give a flowery description of the other family’s background. But once a girl marries into the family, everything changes. Once the girl is married, she can’t be returned; she can only suffer silently."

"This rotten Matchmaker Li needs to be chased out. Our Red Star Village can’t have such a cancer present."

"Yes, chase her out."

"First she brazenly schemed against Mei Yuan Chun, what about next time? Who knows who Matchmaker Li will target next? With her living in our village, we all must live in constant fear and caution, afraid one day she might scheme against us."

"Drive the Li family out of Red Star Village."

"Yes, drive them out."

"Drive them out. Our village can’t tolerate people who bite the hand that feeds them and have hearts like wolves and guts like dogs."

...

The villagers watching all felt enraged, demanding to drive the Li family out of Red Star Village.

The Li family was trying to figure out how to survive this ordeal when they realized they had provoked public anger, even the usually calm Old Li panicked.

Old Li said, "Folks, folks, please calm down. It’s all my wife’s fault. She was momentarily confused and was deceived by the Cui family, which made her commit such foolish acts."

Old Li said this while helping up Old Lady Li, "Wife, you made a mistake. You must admit it. Quickly lower your head and apologize to Yuan Chun."

"No, I don’t want to forgive you." Yuan Chun looked coldly at Matchmaker Li, "The enemies who nearly destroyed my family and killed my loved ones, how could I let them off so easily?"

"Daqiang’s mother, I was wrong, I deserve to die..." Matchmaker Li suddenly sat on the ground, slapped herself hard across the face several times, and cried out, "I was wrong, I was muddled, I’m sorry, Daqiang’s mother, I... I was tricked by Granny Cui, she told me she wanted to meet you, and to coax you to Lion Forest. I didn’t expect the one waiting there would be Second Cui."

"Daqiang’s mother, I really didn’t lie to you. Granny Cui truly said that to me. If I’m lying, let me die a horrible death, struck by five bolts of lightning."

Yuan Chun honestly wished a bolt of lightning would strike this old hag dead.

She gritted her teeth and said, "If oaths were useful, then all murderers would just take them."

"Matchmaker Li, even if Granny Cui tricked you, you’ve been matchmaking for decades. I don’t believe you couldn’t guess Granny Cui’s schemes. But even if you guessed it, you still cooperated with her to scheme against me. Matchmaker Li, have you ever considered, if I really got trapped by the Cui family, what would happen to my four children? What would happen to my life? You know what kind of family the Cui family is. Do you really think that after my reputation was ruined and I married into the Cui family, Granny Cui would not torment me?"
