After listening to He Yan's words, Chen Yan knew that she was on the right track, so she continued to stimulate He Yan and said, "Since you said you wanted to break off the engagement, what did your brother-in-law mean by this? Could it be that your family is... Do you want to occupy my house?"
He Yan had never experienced such suspicion. He immediately defended his brother and sister-in-law, "Chen Yan, don't say such nonsense. My brother is not the kind of person you think he is!"
After saying this, as if to prove his innocence, He Yan immediately said to his brother and sister-in-law, "Brother, sister-in-law, just give her the key to that house. We haven't lived in that house anyway. And didn’t his father give him a box of gold and silver before? Just take it out and return it to their house!"
Hearing He Yan's words, the He family's sister-in-law only said, "Yan'er, this matter is not urgent, not to mention that his father hasn't come yet. I'm afraid it wouldn't be a good idea for us to break off the engagement so rashly, right?"
Hearing what the He family's eldest sister-in-law said, He Yan only whispered, "What's the big deal? Since Miss Chen doesn't want to, why should we force her?"
"Whether you want it or not, it's not all your parents' orders. What's more, you two are a perfect match together. Why is this marriage inappropriate?"
Hearing this, Chen Yan just sneered disdainfully.
And He Yan just said coldly, "Sister-in-law, since we can't afford to climb up to others, why bother trying to climb up?"
Hearing this, the eldest sister-in-law of the He family just said softly, "No matter how high-minded you are, you are not bad at all!"
At this time, the eldest son of the He family said with a pale face, "Yes! Yan'er, we have arranged this marriage with Mr. Chen's family. Both of our families are very satisfied. Unless Mr. Chen comes in person to cancel the engagement, otherwise We won’t pay attention.”
Hearing that the He family brother and sister-in-law were just arguing, Chen Yan finally figured out the trick.
Therefore, she only said sarcastically, "It sounds so nice, but it's not because I have taken a fancy to the house my father gave me."
After saying this, Chen Yan suddenly paused, and then she looked straight at the He family's sister-in-law. Chen Yan did not speak at that moment. The sister-in-law of the He family felt a little uncomfortable when she was looked at: "You... what do you think I am doing?"
Chen Yan just smiled slightly when she heard this, "You look good."
Hearing this, the eldest sister-in-law of the He family was a little confused.
Long past the age when flowers bloom, and with years of hard work, she would naturally not naively think that Chen Yan was praising herself.
And Chen Yan's subsequent words only completely proved this point.
She smiled slightly and said, "Especially the golden hairpin on your head, it's even more beautiful."
While talking, Chen Yan only took off the hairpin of the sister-in-law of the He family, and then the golden hairpin made of golden lotus fell completely into Chen Yan's hands.
Chen Yan only whispered, "This hairpin is the same as my parents' family. The workmanship and craftsmanship look too similar."
After the words fell, Madam He's wife immediately said, "What are you doing? Why did you take my hairpin?" Sudan
However, when Mrs. He's wife went to snatch the hairpin from her hand, Chen Yan just immediately threw the hairpin into the hands of the attendant she brought with her.
The attendant took the hairpin and immediately looked at the light carefully.
Then the attendant quickly came to a conclusion.
He shouted loudly, "Miss, their hairpins only have the same words on them!"
As soon as the He family's sister-in-law heard this, she immediately started to explain for herself. She just explained loudly for herself, "What's so strange about this? Isn't it strange that the hairpins have the same handwriting!"
Not wanting to do so, Chen Yan immediately followed up and said in a longer tone, "Of course it's strange that there are writings on this hairpin! Because in addition to representing my family's surname, the word Chen on it also specifically refers to my family's surname. To design.”
After hearing Chen Yan's words, everyone still didn't understand.
However, Chen Yan wanted to pierce the last layer of window paper. "Oh! I know! You didn't steal my dowry, did you?"
Upon hearing this, the He family's sister-in-law felt a little guilty, "How... how is it possible?"
"How is it impossible! This hairpin belongs to me. If you didn't get it from that box, then you stole it from my house!" Chen Yan said loudly and unceremoniously.
Hearing Chen Yan's words, the He family's sister-in-law seemed to fall into some kind of silence.
"Don't be such a mouthful!" The He family's sister-in-law shouted with a guilty conscience.
However, when Chen Yan heard this, she immediately said, "Who is spitting blood! I think you are the one who is talking nonsense. If you are innocent, then do you dare to follow me to the government to witness, or do you dare Lift that box out!”
Facing Chen Yan's question, the He family's sister-in-law immediately couldn't speak.
After listening to Chen Yan's words, the elder man of the He family naturally knew whether his mother-in-law had such a golden hairpin, or to be more precise, he knew very well that this hairpin was actually given to him from Chen Yan's house. It was taken out of the dowry box.
So at that moment, the eldest son of the He family immediately said to Chen Yan, "What's so great is just a broken hairpin, who would want it! We don't want this thing!"
After hearing this, Chen Yan was basically convinced that they just stole their own things and used them, so Chen Yan immediately sneered and said, "If you don't need it, then why do you come out with my hairpin like this?" Dai, if I remember correctly, my dowry should not be kept here, but kept at my house for safekeeping. It is really unfair to me that you take it out so casually."
Hearing Chen Yan's words, He Yan also felt a little embarrassed, but he only looked at Chen Yan first and said, "Miss Chen, don't worry, we will definitely get the things to you personally. If you want to cancel the engagement, I have no objection. Before that, I hope you can go out for a while, I want to discuss it with my eldest brother and sister-in-law for a while."
Hearing He Yan's words, Chen Yan thought for a while and then withdrew, "Okay, I'll give you a stick of incense. I'll wait for you in the yard. After you've discussed it, you can tell me the result."
As soon as the words fell, Chen Yan left immediately.
After He Yan waited for Chen Yan to leave, he immediately said to his brother and sister-in-law, "Brother, sister-in-law, this thing is not ours. Since she wants you, just take it out."
Hearing He Yan's words, the two people who had been helping He Yan to speak immediately changed their attitudes and said, "Take out something! I don't know what you are talking about!"
"He Yan! Are you suspecting that we took her things? What you said is so slanderous!"
Hearing his brother-in-law's words, He Yan only fell into a certain silence.
After a long time, he whispered, "Where is the key?"
"Key? What key? I don't even know what you are talking about."
When He Yan heard this, he just whispered, "It's the key to the house given by the Chen family. Tell me where it is!"
"Where is what? What do you want to do? You won't really listen to that maid's deception and want to break off the engagement, will you?"
After hearing what these two people said, He Yan stopped talking, but his eyes were red, and he just stared at his elder brother and sister-in-law.
The two people were a little embarrassed to be stared at. The eldest brother just said, "Don't look at me like this. I am doing it for your own good. This Mr. Chen may be helpful to you in the future! Besides, Mr. Chen The young lady is also beautiful and beautiful. Her family is in good condition, so what if she has a bad temper? Isn’t it good for you to be with her? "
At this time, after listening to the words of the eldest son of the He family, He Yan couldn't help but whisper, "But didn't you hear? She doesn't want to be with me, and this marriage is not a good one, so just treat it like me Please, can you cancel this marriage for me?"
However, faced with He Yan's plea, the two still refused.
He Yan really had no choice but to kneel in front of the eldest son of the He family, "Brother, let me beg you, she and I are not suitable for this marriage. At worst, all my salary will be used by you from now on." , I beg you to cancel this marriage!"
However, when the elder brother of the He family heard this, he whispered in a low voice, "How can you know whether it is suitable or not without trying it? What's more, your salary is only a few dollars!"
"A brother is like a father. Now that my father is gone, isn't it his responsibility for my brother to arrange a marriage for you?" At this moment, the sister-in-law of the He family only spoke out to suppress He Yan.
He Yan just remained silent and stopped talking. He knelt on the ground and remained silent for a long time. After a long time, he stood up.
At this moment, he deeply realized that his brother and sister-in-law would not care about his life or death.
Just like his experience when his father died, they drove him into the military camp to prevent him from dividing the family property, and he almost died in the military camp.
He couldn't get even the slightest agreement on what they had decided.
So now He Yan no longer asks his brother and sister-in-law to act in his situation.
He stood up silently and left silently.
Seeing that he stopped talking, the elder of the He family just turned around and left, and immediately said uneasily, "He Yan, what are you doing! Where are you going!"
However, He Yan didn't pay attention to what the elder brother of the He family meant.
The elder of the He family wanted to ask for more information, but the elder sister-in-law of the He family grabbed the elder of the He family's hand and said, "Dalang, just let him go. Anyway, if we don't hand over this thing, he can still do it." It’s impossible to go against the grain.”
"And since the little girl can come to our house alone to cancel the engagement, it can be seen that her father does not agree at the moment. As long as Chen Fuyin does not agree, and we do not agree, the two young people will not be able to come up with any tricks, so We don’t have to be afraid!”
After hearing what the eldest sister-in-law of the He family said, the eldest son of the He family stopped chasing her.
And He Yan just came to the center of the yard silently.
Chen Yan felt He Yan's approach and immediately turned around. Then she only said to He Yan, "He Yan, how are you? Have you guys come up with any results from your discussion?"
He Yan didn't answer immediately. His hands loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened again.
After repeating this many times, He Yan finally plucked up the courage to say, "I'm sorry."
