Reborn before her mother committed suicide, the heroine went crazy
Chapter 91 Since reason doesn't work, let's play rogue together (1 chapters in 2)
"Golden Flower, this... is not reasonable."
The matchmaker regretted it deeply. He should not have meddled in this matter earlier. Now look what happened. He had good intentions, but not only did he have to work hard all day, but in the end, he got nothing in return and even had his face scratched by Yao Jinhua.
She frowned and wanted to reason with Yao Jinhua.
"There's nothing unreasonable about it. I tell you, if you return even one cent less of the betrothal gift, I'll smash the Shu family's pot!"
Seeing Yao Jinhua's unreasonable behavior, the matchmaker felt tired. How come she didn't realize that her husband's cousin was so unreasonable? When they met before, she was always smiling and spoke gently and kindly. That's why she intervened to help Feng Zhanpeng get this match!
If I had known that Yao Jinhua was such a stubborn person, she would not have cared about this matter no matter what.
However, since the matter has already been taken care of, she can only solve the current problem first.
When Yao Jinhua heard that the matchmaker actually stood on the Shu family's side, she instantly became annoyed.
"Okay, so you two are in the same group, Gao Chunxia. I thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect you to work with the Shu family to trick us.
I'm telling you, Gao Chunxia, today I'm going to make this clear. I gave you the betrothal gift through you, and you must get it back in full. If the Shu family doesn't return it, you have to pay me back whatever is missing!"
The matchmaker was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She had good intentions, but not only did she not get any good results, she also got into trouble.
"You...are you being reasonable?"
"It depends on who you are talking to. There is no point talking to liars and scoundrels like you!"
"I'm a liar? I'm a scoundrel? Yao Jinhua, you should speak with conscience. I introduced your son to a girl with good intentions, so how could I be considered a liar and a scoundrel?"
The matchmaker felt so aggrieved that his nose felt sore and tears started to flow.
Yao Jinhua sneered: "Bah, you still have the nerve to cry? Are you still kind-hearted? If you are really kind-hearted, return the betrothal money to me without missing a cent."
The matchmaker looked at Old Lady Shu angrily, thinking of persuading the Shu family to return the betrothal gift and put an end to the matter once and for all. Then she would go back and say that she would break off the relationship with the Feng family no matter what. It would be better not to have such ungrateful relatives!
But old lady Shu simply shook her head and refused.
"My daughter has suffered so much injustice, I will not return the betrothal gift."
"Bah, your daughter is still feeling wronged, is my Zhan Peng feeling wronged?"
Wan An Ning was watching this farce from the side. Seeing the matchmaker's eyes turned red and his lips trembled with anger, she suddenly felt a little sympathy for the matchmaker.
The eldest sister-in-law was so angry that she lost her mind. She started to scold the matchmaker and pushed the matchmaker directly to the Shu family.
She was only concerned with canceling the engagement and returning the betrothal gift, but she never explained to the matchmaker why she wanted to cancel the engagement.
It seems that the matchmaker is not an unreasonable person. If she is explained clearly and lets her know that the Shu family's daughter is pregnant with someone else's child, she will not be able to speak on the Shu family's side.
Originally, Yao Jinhua was not grateful, and Wan An Ning was not going to care about the matter anymore.
She wanted to leave, but Feng Xiangmei felt that since they had witnessed this, it would be somewhat inhumane to leave without any result.
At this point, Wan An Ning felt it would be better to make things clear as soon as possible.
"Auntie, calm down. I don't think this matchmaker is unreasonable. Let's explain the situation to the matchmaker first. If we don't explain it clearly, how will the matchmaker know why we broke off the engagement?"
Then she said to the matchmaker, "Auntie, don't blame me for being harsh. You said my cousin Zhanpeng is such a good man, but you introduced him to someone who is pregnant with someone else's child. Do you think my cousin will be angry?
Besides, the Shu family is really dishonest. Since they have already found a new partner, they should have followed the rules and asked you to come over to tell them to cancel the engagement. But they acted like a rogue and came over to cancel the engagement in the early morning without telling you...
Just call off the engagement. In order to avoid returning the betrothal gift, they even turned the tables and accused my cousin Zhan Peng of being unruly...
Auntie, tell me, who wouldn't be angry if this happened to them? "
The matchmaker's eyes widened. "What did you say? What do you mean by pregnant? Who is pregnant? And who wants to cancel the engagement?"
After being persuaded by Wan An Ning, Yao Jinhua calmed down. Seeing that the matchmaker's surprised expression did not seem fake, she thought that she probably really didn't know about this.
After calming down, Yao Jinhua quickly felt that she was too impulsive in scolding the matchmaker. After all, apart from the relationship, the matchmaker still needed to come forward to get the betrothal gift back.
After thinking it through, her attitude softened and she covered her mouth and cried.
"Cousin, I apologize to you. I don't mean to blame you. It's just that I was so angry that I lost my temper... But if you put yourself in my shoes, you should be able to understand my feelings..."
Yao Jinhua then asked Old Lady Shu to come over to cancel the engagement, and also used Feng Zhanpeng to talk to Wan An Ning and his sister, using this as a threat. She wanted to cancel the engagement but was unwilling to return the betrothal gift.
And the Shu family's daughter was pregnant with another man's child. The Feng family knew that they definitely didn't want to marry the Shu family's daughter and wanted to cancel the engagement. The Shu family said they would not cancel the engagement and wanted to marry their daughter to him...
"Cousin, tell me, you haven't even gotten married yet, but she's already had a child with another man. Would you dare to marry a woman like this?"
Yao Jinhua cried as she spoke, which actually softened the matchmaker's heart.
If it is really as Yao Jinhua said, then she is a really pathetic matchmaker.
"Mr. Shu, tell me, is what my cousin-in-law said true?"
The matchmaker glared at Mrs. Shu and asked in a stern voice.
Old Mrs. Shu's eyes flickered. "No, that's not the case. My daughter Shu Ting is innocent. Aunt, please don't listen to the nonsense of the Feng family. They are deliberately throwing dirty water on our daughter."
"You said your daughter is innocent, so do you dare to take her to the hospital for a check-up?"
"That won't do!"
"Why not? Since you are an innocent girl, why don't you dare to go for a check-up?"
"We are good girls, why do you have to check us just because you want to?"
"If you don't dare, you are guilty."
"Why should I feel guilty? It's obvious that you have bad intentions and want to ruin my daughter's innocence."
"Why don't you dare to check if you are innocent?"
"If a good girl goes to the hospital and comes back, her innocent self will no longer be innocent..."
……
Yao Jinhua and Old Lady Shu started arguing again.
The matchmaker didn't know who to believe.
Wan An Ning felt that this was not a solution.
Judging from the matchmaker’s expression, if she knew the truth, she would probably stand on the Feng family’s side.
Since Yao Jinhua couldn't convince him, Wan An Ning decided to tell the matchmaker what he knew first.
"Auntie, come and sit over here."
Wan An Ning helped the matchmaker to sit next to Feng Xiangmei, and then spoke.
"Auntie, according to common sense, since the Shu family's daughter is pregnant, the family will definitely be anxious to marry her off. So they kept it a secret from you and asked you to introduce cousin Zhan Peng..."
The matchmaker felt depressed when she thought about how she was being used as a pawn by the Shu family. If this was true, not only would the Feng family not be willing, but she would not let it go either.
"However, since they have kept the child a secret and are already engaged, they should be thinking about letting their daughter marry Cousin Zhan Peng smoothly, don't you think?"
The matchmaker nodded: "My daughter, you are right, but I really didn't know about this pregnancy..."
Feng Xiangmei patted the matchmaker's hand and said, "What are you talking about, cousin? Don't we trust you? My sister-in-law was upset by the Shu family just now, and she said something she shouldn't care about. Cousin, please don't take it to heart."
The matchmaker rubbed his eyes and said, "I feel wronged too. If the Shu family's daughter is really pregnant, wouldn't it be that I have good intentions but bad results?"
"Auntie, since the Shu family's daughter is pregnant, why did the Shu family suddenly come to cancel the engagement today?"
"W-why?"
Not only the matchmaker, but even Feng Xiangmei was stunned.
"It doesn't make sense. Since we've already found Zhan Peng to take over, we're going to get married in a few days. Once we get married, this matter will be covered up. Why would the Shu family suddenly want to cancel the engagement?"
"Isn't this unreasonable?"
"An An, then tell me, why did the Shu family cancel the engagement?"
"Either someone offered a higher gift, or the child's biological father is willing to marry her, or the child's biological father is willing to pay a higher gift..."
The matchmaker and Feng Xiangmei both showed shocked expressions, and they both looked at Old Mrs. Shu at the same time.
"Shu family, tell me the truth, is it that the biological father of the child in Shu Ting's belly is more expensive than the betrothal gift given by the Feng family?"
The matchmaker suddenly asked Mrs. Shu in a cold voice.
"That's right, it's a full one thousand yuan, much higher than the Feng family..."
After she said this, Mrs. Shu realized that she had let the cat out of the bag and covered her mouth with her hand.
His eyes flickered continuously, and he finally asked, "How did you know?"
That's it!
This is just asking for it.
The matchmaker was so angry that he was breathing heavily.
“You… you are really good!”
She really didn't expect that Mrs. Shu would be so bold as to do such a disgusting thing.
Old Mrs. Shu was not a smart person. She was greedy and stupid. She only thought about the money in her hands. She would feel so sad if she had to pay it back that she would rather be beaten and scolded than pay it back.
But she didn't think about it. The Shu family was in the wrong in the first place. Since they had accepted the betrothal gift from the Li family, if they simply returned the betrothal gift from the Feng family, the two families wouldn't have to fall into such a bad relationship.
Even if the Feng family felt unhappy, they would not be so mean as to cause trouble for them.
But her greedy nature of wanting everything not only put her at odds with the Feng family, but also offended the matchmaker.
The matchmaker's surname is Gao. When a girl from Gaolou Village gets married, she emphasizes that people with the same surname are related by blood. Often, one person's actions will bring harm to people with the same surname in the entire village.
By doing this, the Shu family has offended the Gao branch of Gaolou Village as well.
She didn't even think about the fact that the Shu family was a single household and had always been bullied. Now that she had done such a thing, could they withstand the revenge from the Gao and Feng families?
Old Mrs. Shu, blinded by greed, could not see these things. She ignored the matchmaker's cannibalistic gaze and insisted on playing rogue: "Anyway, it was the Feng family who proposed to cancel the engagement, and our family will not return the betrothal gift."
The matchmaker was furious.
After returning to Gaolou Village, she would naturally find a way to force the Shu family to return the betrothal money.
But in the current situation, if Yao Jinhua cannot force Old Madam Shu to return the betrothal gift, she will definitely think that she is in cahoots with the Shu family.
"Shu family, do you still have any shame? You accept betrothal gifts from two families for your daughter, aren't you ashamed?"
Mrs. Shu looked indifferent: "Anyway, our family won't talk about canceling the engagement now. If you want to cancel the engagement, I won't return the betrothal gift."
Wan An Ning suddenly said, "If we don't cancel the engagement, will your daughter marry us?"
Old Madam Shu knew that the Feng family would definitely not want Shu Ting anymore, so she deliberately said, "As long as you are willing to marry her, my daughter will naturally marry you."
"Okay, then we won't cancel the engagement. The wedding will go on as planned on August 18th. Today happens to be a good day, so let's go get the marriage certificate first!"
Yao Jinhua became anxious when she heard this. Things had come to this point, how could she let her son marry the daughter of the Shu family?
"Do not……"
Just as she was about to refuse, Wan An Ning grabbed her arm and gave her a look that told her to stay calm.
Yao Jinhua hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to trust Wan An Ning once. However, if the Shu family really agreed to let Shu Ting get the marriage certificate, she would definitely not let Feng Zhanpeng go.
Mrs. Shu didn't expect Wan An Ning to say this, but she believed that Yao Jinhua would definitely stop it, so she agreed immediately: "No problem."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course. If you don't want to cancel the engagement, then just go ahead and get the marriage certificate."
As Mrs. Shu spoke, she kept looking at Yao Jinhua, hoping that she could speak up to stop this.
However, Yao Jinhua lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking, as if she didn't hear what she and Wan An Ning said.
She deliberately said loudly: "Okay, as long as you don't mind being embarrassed, then take my Shu Ting to get the marriage certificate!"
Wan An Ning saw through her thoughts and smiled: "Okay, then it's settled. But before we go to get the marriage certificate, let's go to Lijiagou first..."
As soon as she heard the word "Lijiagou", the smug smile on Mrs. Shu's face froze.
Her heart was beating wildly and her guilty eyes kept glancing at Wan An Ning.
How did she know about Lijiagou?
Old Mrs. Shu suddenly became nervous.
When Li Haoyuan's mother came to our house to give the betrothal gift yesterday, no one should have seen it, right?
Maybe this damn girl was trying to trick her? She suppressed her panic and said calmly, "Marriage is a matter between our Feng and Shu families. Why go to Lijiagou?"
"Of course, we should help Miss Shu cancel the marriage proposal with the Li family first, so that if we marry her, the Li family will make trouble again, which would be bad!"
When Wan An Ning said this, not only Old Mrs. Shu was shocked, but even Yao Jinhua and the matchmaker were stunned.
"An An, you mean..."
Yao Jinhua grabbed Wan An Ning's arm and wanted to get to the bottom of things.
Wan An Ning nodded at her and whispered, "Don't worry, Auntie, the Shu family will not cancel the marriage with the Li family."
Yao Jinhua thought of what Mrs. Shu had just let slip. The Li family had given a huge sum of one thousand yuan as a betrothal gift. Compared with the two hundred yuan from their side, the Shu family naturally knew which side would be more advantageous.
Although she was not convinced, she gritted her teeth and accepted it as long as she could cancel the marriage and get the betrothal money back.
The matchmaker remembered that he had heard that Shu Ting had a boyfriend from Lijiagou, so he suddenly asked, "Is the child in Shu Ting's belly from her ex-boyfriend from Lijiagou?"
Old Madam Shu laughed dryly a few times, her eyes flickering constantly, trying to find a better excuse to temporarily get rid of the Li family...
