Liu Jisheng hurried back to the village, picking up a big stick on the way.
The rain had stopped, and crowds of people were crowding around the door of Da Wang's family. Da Wang's hoarse voice reached his ears through the surrounding crowd.
"We, Yu'er, were engaged to your family, Chen Rongzu, when we were eight years old. At that time, you begged us to make the engagement, and you said that we were a perfect match for you. But what about now? You want to break off the engagement after becoming a scholar. What is this? Are you being ungrateful? You want to cancel this marriage for no reason. Let me tell you, there is no way. Don’t think that there is no one in our Liu family..."
The eldest Wang family was already furious. She did not expect that the Chen family would actually come to the door with a betrothal token. How could this marriage be withdrawn at the drop of a hat? She firmly disagreed. Not only because the son of the Chen family has become a promising man, but also because Liu Yu is getting older. Liu Yu was only eight years old when they got engaged, and now they are fifteen. How to get married in the future.
Therefore, because of this, the Wang family has lost their minds, arguing hysterically with the Chen family, and even fighting with the Chen family's mother-in-law, Wu.
Liu Fu'an, the man of the eldest Wang family, squatted aside with a look of forbearance and pain. His trouser legs were covered with mud, the result of the fight just now. Liu Tiesheng stood under the eaves and stared at the Chen family hatefully, holding hands tightly. He clenched his fist into a fist and let the rain from the eaves drip onto his face and body like a curtain of beads. He specifically asked for leave and came back to help with the autumn harvest. He didn't expect such a thing to happen. Seeing his angry and grieving parents made him, who was always honest, have the urge to beat them up.
My sister has been disowned, what should I do next?
Hate, hate that the Chen family is too bullying and ungrateful, and even more hate that they are useless.
"Why do you want to break off the engagement without any reason? The girls from our Liujia Village are all very good, and your Chen family's bullying is too much." The third grandma scolded calmly.
"Liu Yu is the best girl in our village. She is handsome and capable. Your Chen family is too unkind." Ms. Wang also looked at the Chen family with a stern face.
"Isn't it just that I passed the exam to become a scholar? What's so great about it? It's not like I became a high official, so I look down on people like this!" Li said without restraint, which was even more blunt and ugly. He failed to pass the exam and failed. With his status as a scholar, he can look down on others and shout that he wants to break off the engagement. He is really looking at people through the cracks in the door.
...
The crowd surrounded the Chen family tightly, pointing fingers at the Chen family to support the Wang family. This matter is no longer a matter for the Wang family, it has risen to the level of a village. If Liu Yu is really dismissed, Liu Yu will I don’t know if she can get married. The girls in Liujia Village will be criticized.
Being denounced by so many people, the Chen family certainly didn't look good. The scholar's son-in-law was called Chen Rongzu by the Wang family. He did not come in person today. The ones who came were the scholar's father and mother and the Wang family's natal sister-in-law.
The eldest sister-in-law of her mother's family was also embarrassed. She was the matchmaker for this good marriage. The Wang family was her sister-in-law, and the Chen family were her distant relatives. She was thinking that now that the Chen family's son was prosperous, they could get close to each other. But who knew it would happen again. There was her sister-in-law on one side and wealthy relatives on the other. She was calculating which side would get the best deal.
In addition to these three people, there was a woman in her forties and a young girl. The two of them did not speak, but stood aside in disgust, moving their feet to change positions from time to time, and using their hands from time to time. He waved his hands to encourage it, with a look of disgust on his face, as if something bad had entered his nose.
Mrs. Wu, the wife of the Chen family, sat aside angrily and said nothing. She had just had a big fight with the Wang family. The Wang family took the initiative and left a bright red nail mark on her face and a bun on her hair. It was torn apart, the headdress fell into pieces and someone picked it up by some woman who was trying to make a fight, and the new clothes were stained with mud here and there.
How embarrassing it would be otherwise.
Mrs. Wu was feeling depressed and embarrassed. She had a promising son who looked at others like a superior, but today he was beaten by a mountain village woman, which put her face at risk. It is said that like mother, like daughter, if my wife is so vulgar and unreasonable, then the daughter I raise must be a bob.
It's okay, this marriage must be called off.
"In-laws, please calm down. We don't want to break off the engagement either! But in the past few months, our ancestors have been in trouble all the time, with constant illnesses, major and minor, making the whole family uneasy. We specially asked the eminent monk of Baiyun Temple to After showing it to him, the eminent monk said that Zu'er was destined to have a life-or-death disaster and could not get married before he was twenty years old. It was for the sake of your girl that we shamelessly canceled the engagement." Chen Youde, a man from the Chen family, has an honest face. , what he said was extremely sincere, and he expressed his reasons for renouncing the engagement while bowing and apologizing.
"In short, we were at fault first and failed Miss Liu Yu. We are willing to keep the betrothal gift as compensation."
Wu looked at the man and wanted to speak out to object, but was shot with a sharp eye by the man. She immediately silenced herself and sat sulking dissatisfied.
The betrothal gift is not refundable, it's several taels of silver.
Chen Youde's explanation of sincerity and sincerity has eliminated the dissatisfaction of the villagers. It is really forgivable to withdraw from the relationship for this reason. This way Liu Yu's reputation will be better. Besides, there is a betrothal gift as compensation, which is not a loss. .
"Hmph! Who are you lying to? This is just an excuse you made." Looking at the relaxed expressions of the villagers, Mrs. Wang looked indignant and helpless. She knew that this was Chen Youde's lie. She went to Chen's house every day and never heard of it. Chen Rongzu was destined to have a calamity, and he would not be able to get married at the age of twenty.
She believed what she heard and felt more than these words. Just a few days ago, the Chen family's mother-in-law said that she was not from the right family. She was full of disdain for the poor and love for the rich, and looked down on Yu'er's background. She was I remember it clearly, as if it were in my ears.
As soon as Mrs. Wu entered the house just now, she shouted that she wanted to break off the engagement, that she was not worthy of her son, etc. Her attitude was so strong and arrogant that Mrs. Wang couldn't help but start a fight with her.
At this time, what is the command to say that you can't get married if you are under twenty? Why did you go there so early?
I believe you as a ghost.
It's a pity that she is the only one who doesn't believe in Chen Youde.
When Liu Jisheng came in, he happened to hear Chen Youde's remarks and secretly said it was a pity. If this is really the reason, then it will be difficult to cancel the engagement. Who would risk their life just to get married?
It's a pity that Liujia Village finally gave birth to a scholar son-in-law, but it was about to disappear like this.
The promised fight is gone...
Liu Jisheng stepped into the threshold with regret.
When Wang saw Liu Jisheng, she felt as if she had seen a savior, "Village chief! You are judging me. They found such a reason to break off the engagement. It is obviously a lie! My poor daughter."
The eldest Wang shed tears as she spoke. She was the only one who knew that the Chen family's reason was a joke, but she couldn't explain it clearly.
Liu Jisheng had a sullen expression and had not yet spoken. Wu finally reacted and shouted with a sad look on her face: "Sister-in-law, there is nothing we can do! It's because our ancestor has a bad fate and is not worthy of Girl Yu."
As she spoke, Madam Wu covered her face and began to cry: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, Master said that if Zuer gets married before he is twenty years old, he will die! Sister-in-law, please take pity on us. We have nine generations in our family. The only thing left to me is Zuer, and I won’t be able to survive without Zuer.”
Chen Youde's mouth twitched, this woman is serious...
Fortunately he was prepared.
Mrs. Wu cried so sadly that the people in Liujia Village could not help but feel suspicious of her. They sympathized with the Chen family and in turn advised the Wang family. They couldn't really wait until Liu Yu was twenty before getting married! This is not realistic.
Liu Jisheng's brows trembled when he saw it. This farce of withdrawing from an engagement was about to end before it was his turn to speak?
After all, he came too late! I want to chat with more like-minded people about "The Good Doctor", follow "Youdu Literature" on WeChat, chat about life, and find close friends~
