Chapter 209 There's no point lying to me

As soon as the head of the village arrived, everyone immediately looked like they were going to enjoy the fun and show.

First, he looked at the gloomy-faced Cen clan leader and elders, and then he looked at the head of the village who had already walked to the door of Old Cen's house with an awe-inspiring and upright demeanor.

Who in this village doesn't know that the Cen clan leader and the village head are not on good terms?

Who doesn’t know that when the Cen clan leader saw the head of the village, his eyes turned red?

At this time, the Cen clan leader's eyes were red as he stared at the village head. When he arrived, he immediately said in a sarcastic tone, "Village head, what are you doing here?"

"Dahai asked me to come and seek justice for their family, so I came." The village head glanced at the head of the Cen family and said lightly.

"Haha, it's a pity that this is an internal affair of our Cen family. Village head, you really shouldn't have come here." The clan leader said sarcastically.

"I've just said that our family is no longer a member of the Cen clan, so this is not as simple as an internal affair." At this time, Cen Yan stood up and used the same words just now to shut the clan leader's mouth.

He has driven everyone out...

It is indeed inappropriate to insist that it is an internal clan affair.

For a moment, the patriarch didn't know how to respond to this.

And Cen Yan naturally didn't bother to care whether he could continue the conversation or not.

"Grandpa Village Head, thank you for coming here specially. Can I tell you the situation first?" She looked at the village head and asked politely.

"On the way here, your father has told me almost everything he needs to say. Don't worry, son, I will definitely seek justice for your family." The head of the village stroked his gray beard and said to Cen Yan with a smile.

"Thank you, Grandpa Village Head. Seeing you here makes me feel at ease." Cen Yan said gratefully.

"What are you talking about? Since I am the head of the village, I should take care of these matters!" The head of the village waved his hand disapprovingly.

As he spoke, he looked directly at Old Man Cen and asked sharply, "Just tell me, was Dahai your son?"

“This…” Old Man Cen knew how powerful the head of the village was. Even though he was old, he still had awe for the head of the village. At this moment, he could only nod his head and said in a heavy tone, “Yes, he used to be my son!”

"Since he is your son, if you want to divide the family, you have to follow the rules of the village. Your land should be given to Dahai, and your silver should be given to Dahai. This is fair and just. Don't do what you did, without saying a word, and join forces with the clan leader to drive him away without giving a penny, and even remove his name from the family tree..." The head of the village looked at Old Man Cen and said in a deep tone.

"I, I..." Old Man Cen faced the gaze of the head of the village and did not dare to look him in the eye.

"Village head, you can't say that." Cen Fang glanced at Old Man Cen and immediately stood up. "The fortune teller said that Li is pregnant with a freak, a plague god. My father did this not because he was really cruel, but for the safety of our whole family. He actually couldn't bear to leave my second brother's family..."

"You can fool other people with this, but not me? It's useless. Believe it or not, I will find a fortune teller right now and have him say that your family is the plague god?" Li Zheng gave him a cold look and looked over.

The unyielding tone of his words and the cold look in his eyes made Cen Fang feel fearful.

"Village head, it is true that I did something wrong in this matter, but no matter what you say, things have come to this point, and there is nothing I can do to make amends to the second wife's family. The harm that the second wife has caused to our entire family is real. You can't put all the blame on us just because you sympathize with them!" Old Man Cen couldn't help but say.

He had to pluck up his courage and say it against his will.

If they don't tell the village head, and according to what the village head said, the Cen family will suffer a great loss. I'm afraid that one third of the family property will be divided into the hands of the second branch!

This is something he would never allow to happen!

"Grandpa Lizheng, we don't ask you to give us too much. It's just that we have a lot of land at home. You should at least give us two plots of land so that we can farm them, right? Also, I have a marriage that I must cancel, but I can't take out the money for the cancellation right now. My aunt secretly accepted the money from the other party and persuaded my grandfather to accept the marriage. The other party also gave my grandfather 25 taels of betrothal money, a total of 55 taels of silver..."

Cen Yan suddenly said, "Since this marriage was arranged by the old Cen family, and now my whole family is no longer a member of the old Cen family, then the money for breaking off the engagement must be paid by the old Cen family!"

"You wish!"

On the side, when Old Lady Cen heard this, she was so angry that she fell backwards. She immediately jumped up and pointed at Cen Yan's nose and cursed, "You little jinx! All day long, you just think about how to cheat our old Cen family of money, right?

“I’m telling you, our Cen family won’t pay a penny, let alone give you half a piece of land!

"Just fend for yourself out there and die of starvation and poverty!

"I'm so proud of you! How dare you make such a request!

"Bah! It would be best if you die outside!"

Old Mrs. Cen started cursing without saying a word, and after she finished, she was still breathing heavily in anger.

Her scolding was certainly not bad.

However, after she finished scolding, the expression on Old Man Cen’s face was also very interesting.

"So, this is what you, the Cen family, plan to do? Is this how you plan to treat your son?" After a while, the head of the village asked Old Man Cen in a serious tone.

"This...she is talking nonsense. How could I be like this? It's just that there's nothing wrong in giving them two pieces of land. But as for the money for breaking the engagement, Cen Yan just said that she would pay it back herself...she can't go back on her word once she has said it, right?" Old Man Cen decided to give in.

But only half a step.

Wanting him to use money to help Cen Yan break off the engagement is absolutely impossible!

"Grandpa Lizheng, I have no choice but to say this. Wei Zan is not a good man. I have seen him flirting with other young ladies a long time ago. His father is also a gambler. If I marry into his family, I am afraid that I will not live for ten years and will be exhausted and tortured to death..."

Cen Yan immediately said, "This marriage was not my original intention at all. My grandparents and aunt forced it on me because they coveted Wei Zan's money. Now that I am no longer a member of the old Cen family, this marriage should be attributed to the old Cen family!

"It's okay if they don't want to use the money to cancel the engagement, but they must find someone to replace me and marry Wei Zan!"
