That day, Sheng Hong came to invite Sheng Xuan, saying that there was a commotion in the old house again. Then Xiao Ye came to Xiao Lan's house right after him.

"Xiao Ye, what's the quarrel over at the old house about?" Xiao Lan asked.

"Sister Xiaolan, I was just about to tell you... I just went out to play, and when I came back I passed by the old house and happened to catch up..."

Just now when Xiao Ye passed by the old house, he heard a loud noise inside, so he went in to see what was going on. Then he found out that it was the matchmaker Wang from the town who came to bring a message saying that Xiao Yuan's marriage was off.

It turned out that when Xiaolan's family went to the provincial capital, matchmaker Wang introduced a girl to Xiaoyuan. The girl was originally willing to marry him, but for some reason, she changed her mind after returning home.

Everyone in the old house was very surprised and disappointed. After all, the old house had invested a lot of money when choosing a person. Of course, the most disappointed were the second house, especially Xiaoyuan. They found it incredible that the Huang family looked down on their family, because in any aspect, the old Sheng family was slightly better than the Huang family.

"Matchmaker Wang, you are lying to me, right? When the Huang family left that day, they were all very happy. Why have you changed your mind now? Are you hiding something else from our family?" Sheng Kai said.

"That's right. That day you told us to believe you. What did you tell us that day? You said that the Huang family was willing in their hearts, but they just wanted to influence our family so that they could ask for more dowry..." Shen also shouted.

In the past few days, the couple in the second house have discussed this matter privately a lot, and they both felt that when the Huang family members left, they all had happy faces. His daughter even glanced at Xiaoyuan several times. They must have fallen in love with each other, because she was also smiling when she left.

"Matchmaker Wang, if you have something to say, just say it. How could we not know you? You just want more matchmaking fees!" Shen said.

Xiao Yuan was so anxious that his face turned red. He, Sheng Kai and Shen Shi stared at Matchmaker Wang. They were sure that the Huang family had chosen their family, and there must be a reason for the change now. They even suspected that Matchmaker Wang was behind it.

Matchmaker Wang spent a long time talking, but Sheng Kai, the Shen couple, and Xiao Yuan didn't believe a word she said and insisted that there was something wrong with Matchmaker Wang.

Matchmaker Wang had no choice but to slowly tell the truth of the matter. It turned out that the Huang family had heard some rumors. They were willing at first, but who knew... I said a lot of good things to your family, but they didn't believe it. They also said that there is no smoke without fire. If any of these things were true... then their daughter's life would be ruined... In the end, the Huang family refused to agree no matter what the old Huang family said.

After just a few words, Sheng Kai and Shen knew where the problem lay. They reasonably suspected that Sheng Lanhua had passed the message to the Huang family in order to take revenge on Xiaoyuan and ruin Xiaoyuan's marriage.

At this time, Sheng Kai and Shen didn't care about bothering Matchmaker Wang anymore, so Matchmaker Wang took the opportunity to sneak away, while the couple from the second house stayed in the old house, cursing Sheng Lanhua.

"The scolding was really nasty. Later, my grandpa and grandma said a few words to them, and they started quarreling with my grandpa and grandma. Anyway, what they meant was that Xiaoyin's family had messed up their Xiaoyuan's marriage, and they also said that my grandpa and grandma were also responsible, and that they were biased towards my daughter and the eldest brother's family..."

"They were arguing so loudly that I just thought it was nothing and left... I guess Brother Sheng Hong came over to ask Uncle San as soon as I left..."

Xiao Ye first went home and told Sheng Hao and Liu what he saw and heard in the old house. The couple did not take it seriously. After all, there were small quarrels every three days and big quarrels every two days in the old house. They were used to it. It was not until Sheng Hong came to find Sheng Xuan that everyone realized that this matter might be a little serious.

"It's actually not a big deal that the marriage fell through. How many people can get married after just one meeting? They suspect that the town is causing trouble? Then why doesn't he go to the town to confront them? Why is he arguing at home..." Sheng Xuan said.

"I guess Xiaohong has also gone to the fourth brother's house just now... The second brother's family has such a bad temper, I'm afraid the old man won't be able to deal with it this time..." Zhang said.

"Well...then I'll go and take a look..." Sheng Xuan walked out.

Xiao Lan knew that Sheng Xuan was worried about the old man. The old man was getting older and older, and now his physique was not as strong as before. Sheng Xuan would not be able to feel at ease if he didn't go to see him.

"Sister Xiaolan, I also want to go over and take a look. Do you want to go?" Xiao Ye asked.

"Then I'll go with you." Xiao Lan said.

As soon as they walked to the door of the old house, they heard a noise coming from inside, and they hurriedly pushed the door open.

At this time, Xu came out with Daya, obviously expecting them to come. "Third uncle, you are here, please come in and take a look, my grandfather is already very angry..."

It sounded fine outside the house, but once you entered the yard, the quarrel became louder.

When Sheng Xuan and his group entered the house, they saw Sheng Kai and Shen's faces flushed red, standing on the ground and arguing with Old Man Sheng and Cui who were sitting at the head of the kang, while Sheng Nuo and Sheng Hao tried to stop the couple. At this time, Old Man Sheng had already fallen sideways on the folded bedding at the head of the kang, and Cui was still stretching her neck to curse back.

At this time, Xiaoyuan followed Sheng Kai and his wife obediently, with his head lowered, not saying a word.

Xiao Lan entered the room and looked at Mr. Sheng. At this moment, the old man had a blank look in his eyes, as if he was not looking at anyone.

After Sheng Xuan came in, he saw that the family was making such an ugly noise, so he said, "Stop quarreling. It's so loud. Aren't you afraid that the whole village will hear it? You really don't mind being embarrassed."

Sheng Xuan's words really worked. Sheng Kai and his wife immediately stopped talking. When Cui saw Sheng Xuan coming, she felt that someone was backing her up, so she cursed even louder.

They all cursed Sheng Kai for having no conscience, regretted giving birth to him, and should have thrown him into the river and drowned him...

Sheng Kai couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he said to the old lady, "Okay, Mom, stop scolding me."

Sheng Xuan originally wanted the old lady to stop talking because he wanted her to stop. The old lady did stop talking, but she burst into tears.
