"See, I told you that you can't marry into the Zhao family."

"That crazy woman from the Zhao family, when she was young, she would beat the men in her family for fun. Later, when she got tired of beating them, she beat her daughter instead of her precious son. If she marries a daughter-in-law who competes with her for her son, won't she beat her to death?"

"Who says it's not true? Forget 500 yuan for a betrothal gift, even if it's 5,000 yuan, I won't let my daughter marry into his family."

"I don't know what's wrong with the Liu family. They actually agreed to this marriage."

"It's all about money! Who in our village gave 500 yuan to marry a daughter-in-law? I don't know where the Zhao family got so much money."

"You don't know, what's the name of the Zhao family's son..." The woman in the navy blue vest slapped her forehead, "Yes, his name is Zhao Jiawei. He's very handsome and eloquent, and he's a great charmer to the Liu family's old couple."

"The Liu family lives in the east end of the village, and the Zhao family lives in the west end. The two families don't know each other, and they don't know about the Zhao family's situation. Plus, after the two of them started dating, no one would say anything bad about the Zhao family to the Liu family."

"Also, I heard from the Liu family that Zhao Jiawei is such a flatterer that he became a team leader not long after joining the machinery factory. He also promised to get Liu Xiaohui a job there as well. The Liu family agreed to the marriage not only for the 500 yuan, but also for the job."

After the aunt in the navy blue vest said this, everyone understood.

Among the factories near Dapigu Village, the machinery factory has the best performance. If you want to get in, you can't just spend money, you have to use connections.

"Since the Liu family cares so much about Liu Xiaohui, they definitely don't want her to marry into the Zhao family and suffer, right?" Chen Lichu looked at the aunt in the navy blue vest.

She was originally worried that if the Liu family was a family that sold their daughter, then no matter how much she said, it would be useless.

Now that I hear them say this, I feel a little more confident.

"That's for sure! The Liu family loves Xiaohui very much." The aunt in the navy blue vest then remembered the purpose of Chen Li's first visit here.

Remind Liu Xiaohui not to jump into the fire pit.

"Tell me what the hell it is so I can warn the Liu family. Xiaohui is a good girl, and as a neighbor, I have to help her if I can."

Chen Lichu tearfully accused Zhao Xiaofang's family of crimes.

He even added some exaggeration to the story.

Those aunts who were eating melons were all indignant.

People of this era are simple, kind and helpful, and Chen Lichu grasped this point.

If this happened in her previous life, if she fell outside, there would be no one to help her.

Who would be willing to help with this kind of thing? If you don’t do it well, you’ll get yourself into trouble.

"Big sister, can you come with me to the Liu family and tell them what you just said."

"If you can cancel this engagement, you will have accumulated merit."

The aunt in navy blue clothes looked kind-hearted. Without waiting for her consent, she pulled her up.

Chen Lichu thought that the plan of asking for help was feasible, but she didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

It was also thanks to the Zhao family's usual evil deeds that they had a bad reputation in the village.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for so many people to believe her based on just a few words.

Several aunts around wanted to follow, but were stopped by the older aunt in navy blue clothes: "This is someone else's family affair, it's not good for so many people to go over and watch the fun."

The aunts looked at each other and all felt that it made sense.

So they turned around and went to the Zhao family. They were certain that the Liu family would go to the Zhao family to cancel the engagement.

When the two arrived at Liu's house, Liu Xiaohui was washing clothes in the yard.

Seeing the aunt in navy blue clothes, she quickly called out, "Aunt Wang, you're here. Come in and sit down. My mother is inside."

After saying that, he looked at Shen Lichu. Although he didn't know her, he still smiled at her politely.

When Chen Lichu saw how polite this pretty girl was, she suddenly felt that she had made the right decision to come here today.

Just like what Aunt Wang said, we can't let the little girl jump into the fire pit.

At first her purpose was just to get money, but now she has been brainwashed by Aunt Wang and has developed an inexplicable sense of responsibility.

"Hongmei, is your husband Liu at home? I have something important to tell you two." Aunt Wang rushed into the house.

"Old Liu went out to buy vegetables." Yang Hongmei saw a hint of doubt in Chen Lichu's eyes behind Aunt Wang.

"I can't hold back, so I'll tell you first."

"This is Zhao Jiawei's sister's mother-in-law."

"Jiawei's sister's mother-in-law? Is there something wrong?" The doubt in Yang Hongmei's eyes became more and more intense. The mother-in-law of her future son-in-law's sister?

Why did you come to his house?

"This is a big deal. Listen to Sister Wang's advice. We are good girls and we can't marry into the Zhao family." Yang Hongmei said, looking at Chen Lichu, "Sister, please tell us about his family's affairs."

Although Chen Lichu had said it several times, she did not show any impatience at all.

She spoke more and more excitedly, but Yang Hongmei's face became darker and darker.

After saying that, Chen Lichu gave another earnest advice: "I have been in-laws with his family for so many years, and my family has been tossed around by her to the point of breaking up. Now my son has seen the true face of his family and is asking for a divorce."

"Your Xiaohui looks like a good girl, but you must think twice before following in our family's footsteps."

"Hongmei, let me tell you this, if you really push Xiaohui into the fire pit for 500 yuan and a job, I will bring the whole village to stab you in the back." Aunt Wang became anxious when she saw that she didn't express her opinion.

She watched Liu Xiaohui grow up, so she had to try her best to give her a hand.

"Come on, accompany me to the Zhao family to cancel the engagement." Yang Hongmei turned around to leave and saw Liu Xiaohui standing in the yard.

Her eyes were red: "Mom, I don't believe it. I don't believe Jiawei is this kind of person."

"He only earns 60 yuan a month. How could he not be able to afford the bride price and still ask his sister for it?"

"Besides, even if we don't have it, we should ask our parents for it. Why would we ask our sister for it?"

"Child, as soon as I heard you speak, I knew you were a sensible person." Chen Lichu wiped away a tear, "Our Yaozu treated this brother-in-law better than his own brother, but I never thought that I would be beaten by him even if I gave him a betrothal gift."

"He should be taking the village chief to the Zhao family to seek justice. If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself."

"Yes, silly child, believe it or not, just go and see and you will know. Aunt Wang is already old, how can she not tell the good from the bad?" Aunt Wang said, pulling Liu Xiaohui out.

Liu Xiaohui's mind was full of Chen Lichu's words.

In her eyes, Zhao Jiawei was so good and so reasonable, how could he do such a bastard thing?

She didn't believe it, and walked mechanically, following a few people towards Zhao's house.

As soon as I arrived at the Zhao family’s door, I saw that the entrance to the Zhao family’s yard was full of people.
