When Aunt Yu said this, she gnashed her teeth and said,

"Although I accepted this marriage out of gratitude to the older generation, look at what has happened now. If I continue to swallow my anger, I will not be able to face my ancestors!

Of course, we, the Shen family, are not ungrateful for canceling the engagement. For the kindness of the previous generation, we are willing to compensate them with money. Please let the old patriarch make the decision."

Li Huniu and the village head's wife Ma Zhaodi were dumbfounded. Seeing that they were serious, they jumped up and shouted "Ah" and started to make a big fuss like crazy.

"Dad, I don't agree. I still want to be an official's wife!"

"What? You want to cancel the engagement? No way. Don't even think about it. That little vixen, an outsider, actually dares to cause discord in the family. Fang Qingge, let me tell you, if you want to die, go ahead and die. Who are you trying to scare?"

Ma Zhaodi’s scolding was deafening.

Suddenly, a loud slap hit her face. Her burly body staggered several steps before she managed to stabilize herself.

Ma Zhaodi covered half of her face that was hurt by the beating, and stared at Li Lizheng with her big eyes in disbelief.

Then a loud roar of "Ah" was heard.

"Alright! Li Shuanghe...alright! How dare you hit me? You have become too independent, have you forgotten how you became the head of the village? How dare you hit me?

"Oh my god! Oh my god! Li Shuanghe, this coward, is going to rebel! I won't live any longer!"

Ma Zhaodi cried and wailed and rushed towards Li Lizheng. The thin Li Lizheng was hit so hard that he covered his chest and hunched over.

He stepped back with a "thump thump" sound and before he could move forward, he fell hard on the ground with a "thump".

*

"Puchi, hahaha..." Looking at this family's farce, some people couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Li Lizheng got up in a panic, his face livid, and he pointed at his wife and yelled at her.

"You...you...you shrew! Keep making a fuss! Don't you mind the shame of this? You are going to ruin my daughter's marriage. Stupid woman, stupid woman, ah!"

*

The old patriarch was so angry at the farce that his beard twitched. He shouted:

"Li Shuanghe, take care of your wife. Go back and return the engagement token to the Shen family. Today, I am the one who makes the decision. The money and goods have been settled. From now on, your two families will have nothing to do with each other."

Hearing this, Li Lizheng stiffened his neck and shouted:

"I don't agree."

"Li Shuanghe, I am standing here as the clan leader. You have to agree even if you don't agree. I cannot watch the hope of Qinghe Village being destroyed by your family."

The powerful words fell,

“Pah…Pah…”

The applause from inside and outside the door rang out like thunder.

"The old patriarch is wise. The old patriarch is wise."

The villagers were more excited than ever. Normally, they dared not speak out because Li Lizheng, the county magistrate, was not as powerful as the current village official. But now that so many people were making a fuss and the law did not punish them all, why not just shout it out?

When Li Lizheng saw that the cancellation of the engagement was a foregone conclusion today, his face became even uglier. Although he was angry, he was still reluctant to give up this good marriage.

I thought about delaying the incident and pretended to be helpless.

"Okay! I know that a forced melon is not sweet. After we go back, both our families should calm down. I'll wait until Shen Dazhu comes home before I talk about canceling the engagement!"

*

Just as Li Lizheng finished speaking, a loud voice came from outside the courtyard gate.

"Li Shuanghe, you don't have to wait any longer, I'm back."

Outside the door, Uncle Shen strode in with a bag on his back.

"Oh, Dazhu is back home. That's great, Dazhu is back."

"Hahaha! Li Zheng, even God can't stand Li Huniu's arrogance! You can't cancel the engagement even if you don't want to!"

When the villagers saw Uncle Shen coming home, they clapped their hands happily and excitedly again.

There were even villagers who were standing up for justice and jokingly said in the crowd:

"Shen Dazhu, you are good at predicting things. Your appearance at the critical moment is just like timely rain!"

"Uncle Shen, you came at the perfect time! If you don't come back, your family will be bullied to death by Ma Zhaodi and Li Huniu!"

Uncle Shen clasped his hands together and thanked the villagers:

"Thank you, everyone. Heizi has already told me everything on the way."

*

So, what happened next was a natural progression.

Under the angry glares of the villagers and with the old patriarch's tough supervision as witness, the two families quickly cancelled the engagement, despite Li Huniu's crying, making a fuss and playing tricks.

Shen Wenzhi finally let out a long sigh of relief from the depression that had been weighing on his heart.

**

But when Li Huniu was dragged out of the door by several women, she still roared arrogantly in the direction of Fang Qingge's west wing.

"Fang Qingge, you little widow, you little vixen, your man is dead, do you dare to say that you don't want to rely on Brother Wenzhi?

Woohoo, God is blind! I, Li Huniu, will open my eyes and watch carefully. Let's see how long you can keep pretending. "

Finally, Li Huniu was dragged away and made to kneel in the ancestral hall. The people who were watching at the gate of the Shen family also left one after another.

Those who had sharp eyes saw the blind woman sneaking around the corner of the alley, and she was being chased away as if her butt was on fire.

This caused everyone to burst into laughter again.

Fang Qingge in the west wing listened to Li Huniu's roar, she clenched her fists and wanted to leave.

**

After the villagers left their words of comfort, they left one after another, and the courtyard suddenly became quiet.

In the west wing,

Aunt Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She patted Fang Qingge's arm angrily and said:

"You damn girl, you almost scared your aunt to death for not informing me earlier. Why are you so cunning? By the way, what's with all the blood on your forehead?"

After Fang Qingge washed her face, her forehead was smooth and without any marks, and it looked like she had been hit on the head and was bleeding badly. She smiled and admitted her mistake:

"Aunt, those are just trifles. Do you believe that I can perform magic tricks?

This time they have gone too far. I just want to use the public's anger to make you harden your heart and cancel this disgusting engagement for your cousin.

Li Huniu's bad behavior will only harm cousin Wenzhi in the future. You don't want his bright future to be ruined, do you? Aunt, cousin will have a bright future and he will find a better girl. "

"You! You scared me to death by hitting the wall and bleeding so much!"

"Aunt, I know your health. We have been taking good care of you during this period of time, and you have become stronger!"

*

"Hahaha, you devil girl."

At this point, Aunt Yu lifted the messy hair off Fang Qingge's forehead with pity and said distressedly:

"Qingge, when I first met you, you said that both your parents had passed away and your family was in trouble. Is it because you just became a widow?"
