Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family
Chapter 139 The Marriage Is Called Off
It was not until the sun was about to set that the group of people who were going to Wujia Village finally returned in the afterglow.
The people in the house also heard the noise outside and came out one after another.
Zheng Xiaoman ran towards the crowd. She had been feeling uneasy the whole afternoon, fearing that her father would suffer at the hands of the other party.
Zheng Dashan, who was in the crowd, spotted his eldest daughter running towards him at a glance, and quickly squeezed to the front of the crowd to catch the girl's figure rushing towards him.
"Oh my dear girl, please run slower, or you'll fall down again."
Zheng Xiaoman looked up at her father's face, panting. Fortunately, there were no injuries.
"Dad, you're not hurt, are you?"
Zheng Dashan laughed out loud, "No, no, we are here to reason, not to fight. How can we just do that?"
This group of people went there together just to put on a show and intimidate the other side, but they didn't really go there to fight.
If all of them started fighting, it would definitely end up as a fight between two villages.
Zheng Xiaoman finally felt relieved and walked back holding her father's hand.
When Lijuan saw her parents coming back, she hurried over and asked, "Mom, how is it going? Are they going to cancel the engagement?"
Li Juanniang sneered, "Aren't they planning to make us cancel the engagement and not return the betrothal gift? That also depends on whether our family agrees.
When we got there, we smashed down their front door. People from their village wanted to come over and beat us up, but the village chief came and stopped them.”
Lijuan asked anxiously, "Mom, what happens next? Will the money be returned?"
Li Juan's mother nodded and said, "It's coming back, not a penny less.
We have made it known that if the betrothal money is not returned today, no one in our village, including the relatives of the villagers, will ever marry a girl from Wujia Village again.
The girls in this village are being taken out to cheat people out of money. Who would dare to marry them in the future?
The villagers became anxious when they heard this. If this news got out, it would be very difficult for the girls in their village to get married in the future.
In the end, we didn’t even have to do anything, the people in their village forced them to return the money.”
"Then let's forget about my brother's marriage, right?"
Li Juan's mother was so angry when she mentioned this, "What else can we do if it doesn't work out? You don't know, I asked the people in their village, and it turns out that their family really found a rich man in the city for their daughter, and they want to marry her to him as a concubine.
They haven't told us yet, and they're just waiting to rip us off again."
When the people who stayed at home heard what Lijuan's mother said, they were all very angry.
Tell me what is going on. All the things they prepared today were wasted. It’s a waste of a lot of money.
Zheng Xiaoman was listening to what was going on and thought that the other party's train of thought was very unique.
Aren’t they afraid that the person who comes to pick up the bride will really take out another tael of silver and give it to them? Then how will they perform the next act?
Lijuan's father shouted to his wife, "Mother, go and cook all the dishes prepared in the kitchen. Let's treat it as inviting everyone to our home for dinner today."
Lijuan's mother was very nervous because she had prepared a lot of meat dishes today.
But meat can’t be kept in this weather, so let’s leave some for home and cook the rest.
The accounting office checked all the gift money and returned it. Everyone felt embarrassed to get the money back, as it was like they had eaten someone else's meal for free without spending any money.
Lijuan's father waved his hand nonchalantly, "Don't think that way, if you hadn't gone with us to help today, we wouldn't have gotten the betrothal money back, so just stay and have dinner."
After hearing what he said, everyone happily stayed to eat.
Everyone in the yard was eating and laughing, while Wang Tiechui was crying silently in his new house. However, no one had the time to care about his feelings.
The fun at Lijuan's house was over, and the family then began to prepare Zheng Xiaoyu's dowry.
On the other side, Mao Gen and his brothers were also discussing how much betrothal money should be given.
Mao Lao Er asked: "Brother, how much money does our family have now?"
Mao Gen went to the box and took out all the money bags. He counted the copper coins inside carefully and found that there was less than two taels of silver.
This is the money they saved from the wages they paid to the Zheng and Yang families for reclaiming wasteland since the beginning of spring.
Mao Laosan rubbed his head in worry, "This money is definitely not enough, brother, what should we do?"
Mao Lao Er thought for a moment and said, "How about we go hunting in the mountains?"
Mao Gen hesitated. "You can't catch big fish outside the mountains, and they won't sell for much. If you want to catch big fish, you have to go deep into the mountains, but it's too dangerous."
Mao Lao Er suddenly thought of something, "Brother, can we go find Yang Shuhuai and ask him to take us into the mountains?"
Mao Gen was stunned for a moment, "Yang Shuhuai? He's just a scholar, what's the point of looking for him?"
"Brother, don't you know? The Yang family can now buy land and build a house. The money is all from Yang Shuhuai's hunting in the mountains.
I heard that he once shot a stag in the mountains, and the money was earned from selling the stag."
Mao Gen still didn't quite believe it. "Is he that powerful? I think he looks so weak and fragile."
Mao Lao Er said anxiously: "Let's go find him and give it a try. There is no other way now."
Mao Gen finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask him tomorrow."
The next day after school, Yang Shuhuai saw Mao Gen waiting there at the school gate.
Yang Shuhuai was a little surprised why the other party came to him, as they had never had much dealings with each other.
Mao Gen was a little embarrassed to come to see him so rashly. He said with a smile: "Brother Shuhuai, um, um, are you free now?"
Yang Shuhuai nodded, "Brother Mao Gen, just tell me what you want to say."
"Hey, well, we heard that you're good at hunting, so we were wondering if you could take us into the mountains to hunt."
Yang Shuhuai suddenly realized that it was because of this matter.
He lived next door to the Zheng family, and he also heard from her mother that Zheng Xiaoman's cousin was engaged to Mao Gen.
I think this man wanted to go into the mountains to hunt and sell the game to make enough money for the betrothal gift.
Yang Shuhuai did have some skills, which he learned from someone after he went to the capital in his previous life.
However, he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to escape unscathed if he took a few people into the mountains to hunt.
After all, there are wolves and large wild beasts in the deep mountains, which he cannot deal with.
Seeing that he was hesitant, Mao Gen hurriedly said, "Brother Shuhuai, we won't go into the deepest part of the mountain. It's too dangerous there. Let's not rush."
Yang Shuhuai thought about it and agreed, "Okay, I'll take a day off the day after tomorrow, so let's go into the mountains the day after tomorrow."
Mao Gen didn't expect the other party to agree so readily, so he quickly nodded in agreement.
