Xiaoyao Xiaodu Doctor brings space to raise cute brothers and sisters
Chapter 3: Coming to break off the engagement
Two days later, with the help of Shopkeeper Zhao and his wife, Mrs. Liu and other neighbors, the siblings buried their parents in a simple manner.
At noon that day, Wang Xin had just returned from his parents' cemetery. He placed his parents' tablets at the door. Before he had time to drink a sip of water, there was a noise coming from the door.
"Little kid, get out of the way and call your sister out!"
A sharp and piercing shout echoed throughout the courtyard.
Just as Wang Xin put down the bowl of water in his hand, the door was kicked open and a large group of people rushed in.
"Sister...I can't stop...I can't stop them."
Hao Ge'er stood beside Wang Xin, looking helpless.
Wang Xin looked up and was stunned: she recognized the three people who came in first.
Three years ago, Mr. Yang from Kangfang Street next door suffered from acute dysentery, became dehydrated due to diarrhea, and almost died.
Afterwards, my father was asked to treat the patient. He stayed up for two days and nights before he finally rescued the patient from the hands of the King of Hell.
In order to thank his father, Mr. Yang arranged a marriage between his youngest son and Wang Xin.
The three people in front of him, walking in the front, with thin and stern faces and a bit of harshness in their brows, were none other than Mr. Yang’s wife, Madam Yang.
Walking on her left was the matchmaker Sun who had come to her house earlier.
Following on Madam Yang's right was a young man of about fifteen or sixteen, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, dressed like a scholar. It was her fiancé Yang Huaiyu, whom she had met two years ago when he came to deliver New Year's gifts.
Yang Huaiyu passed the imperial examination and became a scholar not long ago. Although he was not among the top students, he was still considered a talented person at such a young age.
Wang Xin stood up and thought about their purpose: Yang's family was only one street away from hers, so she didn't believe they hadn't heard about her family's affairs. However, she didn't see anyone from the Yang family coming to help, and she didn't come to burn incense, so what was their purpose today...
Wang Xin took the opportunity to turn around and pour tea to glance at the boy inconspicuously. Seeing that he avoided his sight, he couldn't help but "Haha..."
Sure enough, as soon as the acne came off, Yan glanced at the matchmaker Sun.
Matchmaker Sun stood up immediately, sighed, and then said, "Miss Wang, to be honest, we are here today to cancel the engagement..."
"What did you say!"
Before she finished speaking, Hao Ge'er, who had been following her sister closely since they entered the door, jumped up, his face flushed red, his fists clenched tightly, as if he wanted to punch them the next moment! The question squeezed out from between his teeth, word by word, hit them like a stone thrown out.
Wang Xin felt surprisingly calm. After burying his parents, the original owner's emotions seemed to have disappeared.
If the original owner were here, she might be as angry as Hao Ge'er at this moment.
But she was not like that. Anyway, she had no plans to get married in her life, so at this moment she felt like a sleepy person finding a pillow.
She stopped her furious brother, glanced at the crowd that followed behind to watch the fun, thought for a moment, and then instructed Hao'er to ask the shopkeeper Zhao and his wife next door and Madam Liu from the grocery store opposite to be witnesses, and to ask Madam Liu to bring back her little sister Wang Ge who had been fostered in her house for the past two days.
Soon, Shopkeeper Zhao and his wife and Madam Liu, who was holding a baby in her arms, entered the yard one after another, with Hao following angrily behind.
After everyone was seated, Wang Xin calmly served tea to everyone.
Shopkeeper Zhao took a sip first, put down his teacup and said, "Madam Yang, Hao'er has just told us the reason for your visit, but Shopkeeper Wang and his wife have just been buried, you... are a bit unkind!"
Several people among the onlookers responded: "Yeah, isn't this bullying other people's children?"
After all, Madam Yang is the mother of a scholar. These days, she is flattered wherever she goes and is praised as noble. She has long been dissatisfied with this marriage, let alone now.
She forced a stiff smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes, and said: "Manager Zhao misunderstood, it's just that I had the same dream for the past few days. I dreamed that Miss Wang was holding a knife and walking alone in the mountains..."
Wang Xin sneered secretly. During the Chinese New Year, she still called her "Xin'er", but now she has turned her face and called her "Miss Wang".
Madam Yang took a sip of tea and continued, "I was feeling uneasy, and a wandering Taoist priest came and interpreted my dream. He said, 'Miss Wang will bring misfortune to her father, mother and relatives.' We had no choice but to ask Matchmaker Sun to go on this trip again..."
Before she finished her words, Hao Ge'er's teeth were already chattering, and his red eyes were flashing with uncontrollable rage, like an enraged little lion.
He jumped three feet high, raised his clenched fist high, and shouted in a trembling voice: "You are talking nonsense! You are obviously bullying our parents because our sister is taking me and Xiaoge'er with her. You are afraid that we will become a burden to her, so you broke off the engagement! Otherwise, why didn't you say this when you matched the horoscopes before the engagement? At the very least, why don't you go and ask Taoist Qingyun from Changqing Temple outside the city, but use a wandering Taoist priest to make things up?"
Wang Xin was surprised at Hao Ge'er's sharpness. She patted his head soothingly and whispered, "Don't worry, you and Xiaoge'er will never be a burden to your sister!"
Madam Yang was exposed by Hao Ge'er, and she was so angry that she said, "Why should a child butt in on a conversation between adults? We dare not ignore what the Taoist immortal said. Anyway, we have decided to withdraw from the marriage!"
Madam Liu, who was outspoken in her personality, was also angry and said, "We watched Xin'er grow up, and she has always been a good child. What happened to Shopkeeper Wang and his wife was purely an accident. How could you give Xin'er such a bad reputation? Isn't this going to ruin Xin'er's life?"
Someone in the crowd sneered, "It's because Young Master Yang passed the imperial examination and was favored by the eldest daughter of the county magistrate's family. Anyway, Young Master Yang can't ruin his reputation by breaking off the engagement..."
Some people also murmured quietly: "What if what the wandering Taoist said is true..."
Amid the noise, Mrs. Yang walked a few steps towards Wang Xin, looking quite condescending.
She whispered, "Miss Wang, please don't blame us for being ruthless. Forgive me for being frank as an elder, but my son has a bright future. People of his age are all married. We can't wait for you to finish the three-year mourning period. Naturally, the Yang family can't be dragged down by you..."
Wang Xin glanced at her coldly.
This glance made her feel cold all over. She couldn't even say the following words.
The shopkeeper Zhao and his wife next to them also wanted to step forward and argue with Mrs. Yang, but were stopped by Wang Xin.
Everyone saw the little girl, who had always had a calm face, take a step forward, bow to the Zhao couple and Liu, and then turn around and say to the neighbors who were watching the excitement, "This marriage was not what our Wang family wanted in the first place."
The clever little Haoge held his sister's sleeve tightly and tilted his head back, "That's it!"
Wang Xin glanced at him with satisfaction, and then said, "I agree to break off the engagement with the Yang family today. I ask all my relatives and neighbors to be witnesses. After today, I will no longer have any connection with the Yang family!"
Having said that, without any further hesitation, he took out the engagement letter he had just found, picked up a pen to sign his opinion, and asked the witnesses, Mr. and Mrs. Zhao, Madam Liu, and Matchmaker Sun, to put their fingerprints on it respectively.
He also asked Madam Yang to sign the letter from his family and put her fingerprints on it one by one.
Then, both parties took back the engagement letter and the original token of engagement.
During this time, Yang Huaiyu looked at the little girl several times, but found that her face was always as calm as water, and her eyes never glanced at him again. He couldn't help but frowned, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable. He opened his mouth to say something, but was glared at by Mrs. Yang.
At this point, the marriage between the two parties was officially settled.
Shopkeeper Zhao and his wife and Madam Liu served tea and saw the guests off on behalf of the brother and sister with sullen faces, but they felt sorry for her in their hearts: Yang Huaiyu was already a scholar at such a young age, and now that the engagement was broken off and her parents have both passed away, it will not be easy to find another one like her!
Little did people know that Wang Xin, whose engagement was broken off, was actually feeling very lucky: she had not planned to get married in the first place, and besides, it was obvious that Madam Yang was not someone who was easy to get along with.
With the medical skills she learned in her previous life, she was free and at ease, taking her brothers and sisters to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks. Isn't that great? Why did she have to think too hard and become a frustrated young wife who was obviously more restricted and wronged than in her previous life?
