Your family has no dowry, no house, and the bride will have to support her husband's younger siblings. What girl would be blind enough to jump into such a fire pit? Frankly, if it weren't for the bride's family insisting on marrying Xu Anchun, he'd still be a bachelor!" "Who are you calling a fire pit?! What kind of matchmaker are you?! Get out! We can't afford the Ye family's daughter, so what if my son remains a bachelor for life? We're happy with that!" "Director Wan! You... You... What kind of mother are you? The bride's family only has this one condition. Besides, your youngest daughter is a jinx; she's already taken your husband away. If you don't get rid of her, your son will never get married, and your other daughters won't be able to marry either!" "Your daughter is a jinx! She's spewing filth! Get out!
