"Mom, we can't listen to you this time. You should go back to your room and have a good rest." Zhou Bingxuan didn't miss the smug look in his second aunt's eyes. He wouldn't give her another chance to sow discord. Now their movements had been heard by the neighbors and they all came out to watch the fun. Seeing this scene, Zhou Bingxuan knew that he had to use a ruthless move.

"Uncle Li, we don't know you well. Why do you come to my house again and again? What do you want to do?" Zhou Bingxuan didn't finish his words every time because he wanted Li Fugui to slowly walk into his trap. This time he wanted to expose the fox skin of his second aunt in public.

"Who said we are not familiar with each other? I will be your brother-in-law soon. How can you say that you are not familiar with me?" Li Fugui disliked this brother-in-law. After marrying Zhou Yiran, he would not support this little bastard.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Bingxuan pointed at Li Fugui and said loudly, "What kind of brother-in-law are you? Has no one come to your family to propose marriage? Have you given us any betrothal gifts? You come to my house without anything and keep saying that my sister wants to marry you. You would never do that in your dreams, would you?"

Li Fugui burst into laughter at Zhou Bingxuan's words. He glanced at Zhou Bingxuan with disdain, then said to the neighbors, "Look everyone, this is Zhou Yiran's brother. He has no manners at all and he even said I'm not his brother-in-law. I think he's jealous of me being with his sister, so he treats me like this."

The neighbors who heard the conversation between Li Fugui and Zhou Yiran were confused. Li Fugui proposed to Zhou Yiran? How could they not know? This matter was concealed for a long time.

Li Fugui is almost 40, and Zhou Yiren is not even 20. This marriage is not suitable, especially since Li Fugui already has three children. Is the Zhou family crazy? Why would they marry their daughter to such a man?

People watched this farce in confusion.

At this moment, Zhou Yiran stood up. She was already beautiful, and now her awe-inspiring aura added a lot of momentum to her.

"Li Fugui, why are you here again? Didn't I tell you that I won't marry you? Don't bother me anymore. Go find whoever wants to get engaged to you." Zhou Yiran said angrily.

When Li Fugui heard Zhou Yiran's words, the smile on his face immediately disappeared. He pointed at Zhou Yiran and said, "You woman really don't know what's good for you. I've been so kind to you, but you don't appreciate it. Are you thinking of going back on your word?"

When Zhou Yiran heard Li Fugui's words, she looked at him calmly and questioned him, "I never promised you anything. Why should I regret it? I told you to go find the person who promised you marriage. You came to our house and said such things out of nowhere. I'm going to the police station to report you for harassment. Aunties, please be my witnesses here. Li Fugui said I wanted to marry him out of nowhere. Isn't this ruining my reputation?"

"Yes, isn't this extortion? To say that to a girl is to ruin her reputation."

"This Li Fugui usually looks very honest, but I didn't expect him to be such a person."

"Isn't this bullying orphans and widows who have no one to rely on? Doesn't the Zhou family still have a second uncle? Why doesn't the second uncle's family come out to help them?"

When Li Fugui heard people blaming him, he looked at Aunt Zhou indignantly.

"You speak up when the time comes. I've already given you three hundred yuan as a betrothal gift. You said this marriage is a done deal, so speak up now."

Li Fugui's words were like a thunderclap exploding in the air.

Aunt Zhou hurried over and pulled Mother Zhou's hand, saying, "Hurry up and say something. Do you agree with Yi Ran's marriage to Li Fugui?"

Only then did Mother Zhou understand that this was all a private deal between her second aunt and Li Fugui. Her health was not good and she was weak, but she was not stupid.

She said slowly, "Second aunt, I didn't agree to the marriage between my daughter Yiran and Li Fugui, nor did I receive any betrothal gifts. You just mentioned it to me, saying that Li Fugui liked my daughter Yiran. At that time, I said that Yiran's marriage was her own decision. You also said that marrying Li Fugui would reduce the burden on our family. Li Fugui has a high salary, and as my son-in-law, he will definitely help my family.

I also told you that no matter how poor our family is, we have no intention of selling our daughter. Even if I die of illness, I will not do anything my child doesn't want. Have you forgotten all these words? How can you say such a thing? Isn't this ruining my family's reputation?

After Mother Zhou said this, everyone in the audience looked at Second Aunt with contempt.

Li Fugui, in particular, felt like he'd been fooled. He walked up to Second Auntie, looked at her, and said, "Tell me, what's going on? Didn't you say you could handle this family? Now, they're accusing me of harassing them. You took my money and this is how you do things for me?"

Second Auntie didn't dare look directly at Li Fugui. She argued in panic, "They clearly agreed. They must be dissatisfied with the small amount of money you offered. I'll try to persuade them again. Don't worry."

"How can I not be anxious? How can I not be anxious when I see that the wife I have just got is about to be lost?" Li Fugui said angrily.

After he finished speaking, he paused and continued, "Didn't you tell their family about the betrothal gift? Did you embezzle the betrothal money?"

His words reminded everyone present and they all looked at Aunt Zhou with mocking eyes.

"I gave it to her mother, but she didn't want it." Aunt Zhou now wished the ground would crack open for her to crawl into.

"Mom, is what she said true?" Zhou Yiran asked, holding her mother's hand.

"No, she didn't mention the betrothal gift at all. She just said that Li Fugui likes you. I have already rejected her, so why should I accept the betrothal gift?" Mother Zhou's words once again made Aunt Zhou's face slam to the ground.

"You liar, give me back my money. Also, give me back all the extra meat and cakes I gave you these days. I've lost all my face. You're such a nuisance." Li Fugui pointed at Aunt Zhou's nose and cursed.

"Tsk tsk tsk, and he accepted so many gifts. How can this person be so dishonest?"

"I really can't believe it. Bingxuan's family is so poor that they can't even afford to eat. Not only does she not help, she also monopolizes their betrothal gifts and presents. Is she still human?"

Hearing everyone's discussions, Zhou Bingxuan and Zhou Yiran were delighted. This time, the second aunt who pretended to be very kind was completely in trouble.

"How could you allow your second aunt to be scolded by others? You are such heartless ungrateful people." At this time, the voice of Uncle Zhou Er was heard scolding.

"Haha, what a good second uncle. Don't you listen to what second aunt did? You said we were ungrateful for no reason. How much food have you fed us? Since we moved here, since my father passed away, you haven't given us a grain of rice." Zhou Bingxuan's words made Uncle Zhou and his wife despised in public.

"You should handle the matter between you and Li Fugui yourselves, and don't involve my sister. Otherwise, you will be in trouble. This is a society ruled by law. Don't bully others too much, otherwise there will be a place for reason." After saying this, Zhou Bingxuan pulled his mother and sister back to the house.
