Aunt Wang didn't know if she should say that this girl was too smart or stupid. She really wanted to laugh and turn her head away. She really didn't want to marry this girl now. She didn't even want to have the reputation of breaking off the engagement. Not only was she greedy, she didn't have a mind of her own and was also pestering people. When she entered the family, not to mention the interference of her brother and sister-in-law, she would become a troublemaker herself. Aunt Wang had been with the Jin family for a long time. She had heard more and seen more. Her ability to recognize people naturally became much stronger. At this moment, he really felt that this young lady from the Zhang family was not a person who could make people worry. But in the end, he still suppressed his anger and said,"Marriage is about the friendship between the two families. There is no reason for a child to speak out. Sister Jin is the person I invited to speak. No matter what she says, it naturally represents our family. Miss Zhang, you should go home and ask your parents. If you want to get rid of the matchmaker, it is not impossible. That's what we're thinking. You can choose one. As for the others, like what your brother said, you can go to Dacheng Shop to find a job, let your nephew go to our village school, and let you live in the county after you get married. You don't have to think about these. We won't agree at all. You don't have to use Dacheng as an example. I'm his mother, and his marriage is decided by his parents. There's one more thing I didn't say just now. Before Dacheng left, he said that your Zhang family should be sensible and dutiful. If you agree to do it according to the original agreement, then the marriage will continue. If you want to pester him and increase the price, then forget it!”
Zhang Yunyun wailed,"You, you…you must be lying to me! Let Dacheng come back and tell me in front of me, do you dare? You wouldn't dare! You just don't dare to let Brother Dacheng come back! You guys are keeping all the money that Big Brother Dacheng earned…"
Mrs. Zhang also secretly thought that her sister-in-law was stupid. She had offended her "mother-in-law" before the matter had even been discussed. She hurriedly pulled her sleeve and glared at her before smiling awkwardly." That, that, Yun 'er is still young. She's not sensible, not sensible…"
"It's fine as long as you admit that you're insensible!" Mrs. Qian slapped away the melon seed paste on her hand and said word by word,"Madam Jin has just arrived, so you still don't understand how we mountain people spend money. Sister Zhang, let me calculate for you. Brown rice is ten wen per catty, eggs are one wen per catty, and pork is eight wen. If you eat ten eggs per catty, two catties of pork per month, and thirty catties of brown rice per catty, then this month will be fifty-six wen. Including firewood, oil, salt, and the clothes and bedding that you need to wear, it will be five hundred wen per month. That's six taels of silver per year. Zhang Younger Sister, do you know how long a hundred taels will last you? Not to mention, ten years should be enough, right? So how was this one hundred taels little? Don't talk about the rich families in town. We're just ordinary mountain families. The one we want to marry isn't a noble family. If you want to climb up the social ladder, then change your family!”
Jin Shi wanted to call out to Madam Qian. The eldest daughter-in-law of the Zheng family here was not randomly chosen. Not only could she keep her cool, but she was also meticulous. She looked neither warm nor angry, but every sentence was on point.
" You, you…" Zhang Yunyun was speechless.
"Could it be that Miss is saying that Madam Jin is bullying you about the contract? Then I have to ask, what else do you plan to bring back besides the four gifts for the New Year and the birthday gifts for your parents? Not to mention that Madam Jin was talking about the New Year, Young Lady should also go out and ask around. Could the daughters-in-law of each family return to their mother's home every New Year? Besides the 15th of August and the New Year, how many times does she go back to her parents 'house in a year? What did he bring with him every time? If Younger Sister is sensible after entering the house, not to mention Dacheng, Uncle and Auntie are also famous for being kind and polite in our village. Sister Zhang, you must know that you came here today to discuss the marriage, not to eat the rich!”
Madam Qian was just short of saying that the Zhang family ate unsightly.
Mrs. Zhang knew that the other party was going to fall out with her, so she immediately put on a shrew's posture and wanted to make a scene. She waved her arms and shouted,"You guys are bullying me! Is your family trying to force someone to death? My Yun 'er has been held up by your family for a year. Aren't you afraid of being stabbed in the back for a hundred taels of silver?”
Kim raised his head and glanced at her lightly. He was finally angry. It was good that he was angry. If he continued to cry like this, when would he be able to resolve it?
Afraid that the fire was not enough, he added another handful of firewood and said,"Then what do you think we should do? Our family really can't take out that much silver. We only have this courtyard and these few rooms. Zhang daughter-in-law, take a look. Why don't we pay you a hundred taels?”
"You, you wish! Nobody wanted this broken courtyard for twenty taels!”
"Exactly!" "You said it wasn't enough, so what should we do?" Kim shrugged.”
"You, you-you're going too far!”，The daughter-in-law of the Zhang family glanced at the shining golden hairpins on the heads of the two sisters-in-law of the Qian family with vicious eyes. She slapped her thighs with both hands and said,"Bullying others! You guys are bullying people!"
Meixiang was very cooperative as she pulled out the Begonia hairpin and played with it in her hand."Haha…what a pity, little sister said the wrong thing and this golden hairpin ended up on my head."
"Tell me, which one do you choose?"
I won't choose either!" The sister-in-law of the Zhang family was already angered beyond words. She stomped her feet as if she had made up her mind."Two hundred taels! 200 taels to make Yun 'er sign that contract, and from now on, she will be a member of your Wang Clan! It has nothing to do with our Zhang family anymore!”
" Sister-in-law, I…" Zhang Yunyun seemed to have just realized her sister-in-law's intentions. Her eyes widened in horror."No, no, no, Father and Mother will not be willing!”
"Oh, sister-in-law Zhang is planning to sell her daughter? Don't you need to discuss it with your in-laws?”，Ding Meixiang had a look of disdain on her face as she said in a cadence,"It's a pity that the price is too high."
"You…"
"Stop talking about me!" The Kim Family's expression turned serious." Our family is a married family. We don't engage in dirty human trafficking. Today, we will send these words back to your Zhuang Manor. Whether it's reasonable or not, everyone will see. Three days, within three days, return all the betrothal gifts, and this marriage will be called off!”
"Wow…I don't want to! Sister-in-law, I don't want to!”
"You, you can forget about it! My Yun 'er has been delayed for a year, and you've gone too far!”
"Boohoo…Sister-in-law, Aunty, Aunty, I beg you, Brother Dacheng, Brother Dacheng won't agree!”
Aunt Wang finally let out a long sigh.""Miss Zhang, discuss things, discuss things, discuss success or failure. We can't satisfy your conditions, and we don't dare to delay your bright future. We also don't dare to violate the government's laws and engage in human trafficking.”
Zhang Yunyun finally understood what fear was. Her fingernails dug into her sister-in-law's flesh."No, no, we don't want it anymore. Sister-in-law, let's not want it anymore, okay? Sister-in-law, quickly agree to their request!"
"Pa!" Zhang Sister-in-law's heart was burning with anger. She threw out a slap and shouted loudly,"You're useless!"
He shouted enthusiastically, but it was obvious that he was fierce on the outside but weak on the inside. He was also annoyed that he had blurted out the words of the businessman."Don't even think about it! You want to break off the engagement? Do you still have face? How can you say that you've wasted a year of our time?”
"Take back what you said about being delayed for a year. If there's a delay, it's our Dacheng that has been delayed. Don't forget that it's you who have broken your promise time and time again!”，Kim's expression darkened. He picked up a pecan and weighed it in his hand. Then, he said lightly,"Zhang family's daughter-in-law, are you sure you want to pester me?”
He raised his hand, and the crushed pecans scattered in front of the two sisters-in-law. They were cold, like ice shards hitting their faces, freezing the two sisters-in-law's screams and wails.
Kim stood up slowly and laughed secretly,[So my son's common tricks are so useful. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have had to listen to them for so long.] He clapped his hands twice and said,"Meixiang, go and ask two people to send them back. Remember to tell them everything that happened today!”
Meixiang was also shocked by Kim's move and did not react for a long time. Her eyes were sparkling, and she hurriedly agreed when she heard this."I'll go, I'll go!"
Madam Qian stopped her,"I'll go with your big brother!"”
"Yes, let's go!"
"I'll go too!"
At some point, a group of men were standing at the door. The last one to look was Zhang Xi, whose face was pale and covered in cold sweat.
The Wang family's First Aunt and First Uncle walked in. Although First Aunt Wang's anger had not subsided, she clearly heaved a sigh of relief."Sister-in-law, it's all my fault. I've let you down. Don't worry, your brother-in-law and I will definitely explain it to the villagers when we return.”
" Elder Sister, it's not your fault…" Aunt Wang held her elder sister-in-law's hand and the two of them sighed.
" Chunsheng, your wife, and Wang Kui," Wang Maocai said." You three go there and make things clear. Zhang Lizheng is a man of his words…"
Wang Fugui said," Then I'll have to trouble my nephews and niece-in-law. Get Zhu Zi to follow me too. I'll go and hitch a carriage!"”
Kim stopped Uncle Wang, who had already turned around."Big brother, call Feng Huang along!"
"This…" Uncle Wang hesitated for a moment before nodding."Alright!"
After such a long time, the three members of the Zhang family were still standing there in a daze. They never thought that the Wang family would want to cancel the engagement. Zhang Yunyun's mind went blank. If not for her sister-in-law strangling her arm, she would have slipped to the ground.
At some point, Old Lady Wang had packed up a bundle and handed it to Chunsheng, saying that it was something she had brought back for the village chief. Aunt Wang carefully sealed the birth characters that she had returned to Zhang Yunyun and whispered to Mrs. Qian that she did not want the betrothal gifts and headwear that she had given to the Zhang girl. She just needed to make it clear in front of their patriarch and the village chief. Since they did not have a marriage contract, it would not be a delay to get the birth characters back.
The carriage arrived very quickly. Feng Huang and Wang Qi rode on their steeds, one red and one black. The moment the two divine steeds raised their heads and neighed, the three people of the Zhang family finally woke up from their daze. What was he doing here? Yes, wedding wine money-yes wedding wine money-want silver-want silver-silver! Betrothal gifts! Betrothal gifts!
"Ah! No, no, betrothal gift, betrothal gift-"
The elder brother and sister-in-law of the Zhang family didn't care about the crying younger aunt behind them. They pulled each other and ran out. Hurry home and protect the betrothal gift!
The horse carriage definitely did not dare to get on, so it trembled as it climbed onto Uncle Wang's ox cart and urged him,""Let's go! Hurry up and leave!"
……
Even though the mountain road was difficult to travel and the snow was slippery, the news of the Zhang and Wang families breaking off the engagement still flew all over the seven miles and eight villages as if it had wings. There were those who sighed and those who were silent.
The person who liked to join in the fun said," Zhang Yunyun, that fool, ruined such a good marriage. Wang Dacheng from King Village has honest parents and a good family background. He's just right for your second daughter…"
He said in a mature and sensible manner,"Zhang Dani is not lucky enough to be brought into trouble by that pair of brother and sister-in-law."
