After marrying sick Yangzi, I made my whole family rich
Chapter 3: Call off the engagement
However, when Xu Mengxiao silently moved closer to see what kind of disease this man had, the man with an extremely abnormal expression suddenly opened his eyes.
His black eyes looked at her deeply, wary, "Who are you!"
Soon, the man noticed what he was wearing and immediately coughed. Looking at Xu Mengxiao, who was also wearing the same wedding dress, he immediately thought of a possibility.
"Are you the girl from the Xu family?"
Xu Mengxiao quickly concealed the surprise in her eyes. Before she could answer, there was a knock on the door.
"Ahem, come in." As soon as he said these two words, Lu He couldn't stop coughing, his lips were purple, and his black eyes were bottomless, looking at Xu Mengxiao warily.
Xu Mengxiao pretended to be timid and cowardly, but she felt strange in her heart that there was no sick look in this man's eyes. Generally, people who have been suffering from illness for a long time would have a weak sick look in their eyes.
Didn't Lu He have the disease in his mother's womb?
"Brother!" When the people who came in saw that the man was awake, they were so happy that they couldn't speak. They rushed towards him and sobbed.
"Brother, you finally woke up. You don't even know how long you were unconscious. I thought..."
The man covered his handkerchief and his cough finally got better. "What's going on?" He looked at the wedding clothes on his body and his face turned dark.
Lu Hai couldn't help but feel guilty, "Seeing that you haven't woken up yet, dad discussed with me and wanted to arrange your previous marriage so that it can be a happy occasion..."
Seeing the man's expression getting worse, he smiled and said, "No, you woke up just after you got married. My sister-in-law is really well-deserved for her prosperous husband..."
As he was speaking, he glanced at Xu Mengxiao aside, and was suddenly startled——
"Who are you!"
As soon as the banquet ended, Lu Lizheng rushed over angrily. When he saw Xu Mengxiao, he fell down in anger!
"Excellent! You are a member of the Xu family. If you don't want to marry Xu Ruyi, just be a fool..." Midway through his words, Lu Lizheng stopped abruptly and pointed angrily at Lu Hai, who was glaring at Xu Mengxiao with a pair of eyes.
"Why don't you ask someone to catch them? I want to see how the Xu family explains it!"
Xu Mengxiao originally thought of helping Lu He see a doctor, and perhaps using them to get rid of the Xu family. From this point of view, it would be difficult to take action easily.
Vaguely, she felt Lu He's eyes on her, and she shrank her neck, as if she was extremely scared.
"They must be relying on me."
"what?"
Xu Mengxiao knelt down with a thump and opened her sleeves. Even in the dim light, she could not hide the large bruise on her forehead and the mottled scars on her arms.
One layer after another, the old ones have not dissipated, and the new ones are covering them. There is almost no intact skin.
This was also the reason why Xu Mengxiao never treated her injuries. She wanted to keep evidence of her guilt.
"This..." Lu Lizheng just took a casual glance and couldn't help but feel frightened. He also thought that because he wanted to marry Xu Ruyi for Lu He, he didn't care much about the Xu family's scandalous things, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
"My mother, my little brother, and I were locked up and starved for three or four days without even a grain of rice. We were so hungry that we couldn't walk. We tried to escape but were caught and beaten half to death. My mother... …”
Xu Mengxiao sobbed, "I haven't woken up yet. My little brother is still tied up by them for fear that he will run out and tell you that if I don't marry, they will be in danger."
"They will definitely rely on me to get married, so they will steal Xu Ruyi's marriage, and maybe they will let Xu Ruyi pretend to be faint." Xu Mengxiao said timidly, her voice trembling.
Lu He glanced at her more than once. Even though his eyelids were so heavy that he could fall asleep again at any time, he still stared at her.
A strange girl.
He is dark and thin, and looks to be only twelve or thirteen years old. His thin face can poke a hole in the ground, and his big, tearful eyes are extremely pitiful.
Lu Lizheng, who originally hated even Xu Mengxiao, became furious when he heard this, "How dare they!"
Thinking about it carefully, Xu Mengxiao can be regarded as someone he has watched grow up. Everyone in the village knows how courageous he is. Not to mention the situation of his family Lu He, who would rush to marry him?
It was obvious that the Xu family was not honest in their work. They felt that Xu Ruyi's market was getting better now, so they took the worthless little fool Li Daitao Jiang!
Sure enough, when old man Xu, Zhou, Boss Xu, second wife Zhang and others were rushed over by the Lu family members with dark faces, they were all confused.
"My dear, what happened?"
"Ah! Xiao girl, why are you kneeling here?"
Zhang couldn't wait to start acting, and rushed to Xu Mengxiao, "Why are you wearing the bride's clothes?"
"Little girl Xiao!?" Mrs. Zhou, the stepmother, yelled angrily, "Where's Ruyi! Why isn't Ruyi here? Where did you do Ruyi with your cheap hooves?"
The Xu family didn't know that Xu Mengxiao had given Lu Lizheng a break in advance. They thought that Lu Lizheng's face was getting uglier and uglier, and he was blaming Xu Mengxiao. They were still feeling proud of their way of replacing a civet cat with a prince.
The next moment, Lu Lizheng roared—
"enough!"
Lu Lizheng was so angry that his chest heaved rapidly, "Xu Mengxiao and Xu Ruyi have different figures. Is it her? Can you family members tell it? Leave it alone!"
Boss Xu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately gave Xu Mengxiao a hard look. This damn girl must have failed to act well and exposed her flaws!
Lu He noticed that Xu Mengxiao was clutching the corner of her clothes tightly, looking uneasy and frightened. He finally looked away from her and coughed.
Only then did everyone notice him, especially the Xu family. They were all surprised and wondered, why is Lu He sitting here? !
Didn’t you say that you are almost dying after lying in bed for three months? You were still unconscious and being manipulated when you went to church in the morning, and now you wake up?
Regardless of whether he was awake or not, Boss Xu felt disgusted when he saw him like this. He was thinking about what he would do if they wanted to take Ruyi back.
There are so many young men in the village, but there is no one who is not obsessed with his family. Even the rich young man in the town and the cousin of the county bookkeeper are not better than this sick man who is about to die. Times!
If he dares to shamelessly covet Ruyi...
"Cancel the engagement." Lu He's voice was weak, but everyone heard his decision.
Xu Mengxiao was surprised. Apart from anything else, Xu Ruyi's appearance was indeed different from that of ordinary country people. She was a bit pretty.
Of course, not even the nail cap of my little finger can compare to my own.
However, Lu Hai and Lu Lizheng were both so anxious that they said in unison, "No!"
"Old man Xu, you act according to your conscience. In the past few years, you have never made a marriage arrangement. In addition to the betrothal gift, how much money have I spent on you!"
The Lu family originally had a good family background, and was considered the first household in Yaoyu Village. Except that Lu Li was the head of the village, and the county government would pay him a little salary on time. He also planted more than ten acres of crops himself.
Lu Hai had served in the army before and brought back a lot of reward money. In addition to the money he had saved to build a house and marry his two sons, he also borrowed a lot of external debts.
Dozens of taels of money were spent on Xu Ruyi, not counting the food and meat that Xu's family often asked them to help them with.
Isn't it because of Xu Ruyi's prosperous husband's destiny, for fear of wronging her?
Old man Xu pondered for a while, then said: "Well, we don't know why this is happening. Now that you have married my Xiao girl, you are now a couple, so you can't ignore her, right?"
"That's right, then we, Xiao Yatou, will become abandoned wives! Poor girl, how can we get married in the future? We can't get married in the first place." Mrs. Zhou howled regardless, as if the Lu family had taken advantage but was irresponsible. posture.
