Chapter 2 Look at my bad temper Look at my bad temper

According to Su Zhaoshi's heart, she wished that Miss Chen would be buried with her eldest son.

But she was not crazy after all. Her husband and eldest son were dead, but she still had a son. She was not afraid of death, so was she going to let this child go with his father and brother?

The man is in charge of the outside affairs and the woman is in charge of the inside affairs. No one knows the family situation better than Su Zhaoshi. After she calmed down after her grief, she became more practical in considering the issue. Even if she wanted to, the Chen family would never let their daughter be buried with her family or become a widow.

Or, they could keep dragging their feet and not give the engagement letter, but the Chen family could easily create another one and announce to the public that they had broken off the engagement. Although it might not sound good in name, the daughter could still marry again.

Or, they could discuss in a friendly way and cancel the marriage and return the previous betrothal gifts. When the marriage was first arranged, it was the best time for the Su family. Su Zongzhang liked Miss Chen, and since she was the eldest son's wife, he sent a lot of betrothal gifts.

As for suing the officials, when Su Zhaoshi realized that Su Dianli's departure from the yamen might have been caused by the county magistrate, she had already put away the idea. She did not want to fight with officials. Moreover, the master left without saying a word, and it was possible that someone had something on him.

Aunt Bai had been serving Su Zhaoshi the entire time. Seeing her expression, she knew what she was thinking and whispered, "Madam, aside from anything else, the eldest young master's betrothal gift included a family heirloom. It absolutely cannot be left to the Chen family."

Su Zhao's expression suddenly changed, and she nodded and said, "Yes, that was passed down to me by my mother, and it must not be given to the Chen family."

"As for this matter, I'm afraid we can only ask the Second Master to go there." The Second Master that Aunt Bai mentioned is Su Dianli's younger brother. However, unlike Su Dianli who was an official in the court, the Second Master had been farming in Yuexi Village.

"His second uncle? He has never been good at talking. I'm afraid if he goes there..." Although they are brothers, their temperaments are completely different. The second uncle of the Su family is a person who can't even fart even if you beat him with ten sticks.

There is no way around it. Su Zhao is seriously ill in bed and now feels dizzy when she moves. Aunt Bai was born in a humble family and is not a person who can make decisions. Su Fengzhang is young and a junior.

Su Fengzhang also found the character of this Second Uncle Su from his memory, frowned and said: "Mom, I will go with Second Uncle."

Su Zhao pinched her forehead and said, "It's better for us to go together, Feng'er. Now that your father and elder brother are gone, you have to grow up quickly and support the family."

Having said that, when Su Fengzhang set off with his second uncle Su the next day, Su Zhaoshi became worried again.

"Do you think the Chen family will make things difficult for them?"

Aunt Bai said, "The Chen family is eager to cancel the engagement immediately, but they are hindered by... Madam, don't worry, this trip will definitely go smoothly."

The second uncle of the Su family looked like an honest farmer with a tanned skin, but the Su family had good genes. He looked handsome and healthy. However, he was silent all the way. When he arrived at the door of the Chen family, he hesitated and said, "Erlang, what should I say later?"

Well, this guy has no idea and has to ask his underage nephew.

Su Fengzhang just reassured him: "Second Uncle, I will come and talk to them later."

After Su Fengzhang said this, Second Uncle Su was really relieved: "Okay then."

The Su family originally had a pawnshop clerk, while the Chen family was just a merchant. Although they had some money, they were still far from wealthy. When the Su and Chen families married, it was indeed the Chen family who married above their station.

This is one of the reasons why Su Zhao hates the Chen family so much.

The Chen family's house is located in a prosperous area of ​​the county town. The gate is not very wide, but the location is good. The neighbors are all people of status, and it is not too far from the county government office.

Su Fengzhang walked up and knocked on the door.

The doorman inside obviously knew him and was shocked when he saw the two of them.

"We want to meet your master to discuss the cancellation of the engagement." Su Fengzhang said loudly, loud enough for the neighbors to hear clearly.

"The master is not at home, but the mistress is. Please wait for me to go in and inform her." The doorman did not make it difficult.

This time, it took a full cup of tea and no one came.

Second Uncle Su was getting impatient and complained, "The Su family is so small, why is there no one here yet?"

Is this a warning to them?

Su Fengzhang stared coldly at the tightly closed door, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Second Uncle, the Chen family has not shown up. Maybe Miss Chen is deeply in love with my eldest brother and is unwilling to cancel the engagement."

"If that's the case, we can't be bad guys. Let's go back today."

Second Uncle Su was also a strange man. After hearing this, he said, "If that's the case, there's no need to cancel the engagement. I'll go back and discuss it with my sister-in-law. Let's marry her back."

He said it so sincerely that Su Fengzhang didn't know whether he was serious about it or just acting.

"As it should be. I didn't expect Miss Chen to be so loyal and righteous. This shows that the Chen family has strict family education and is a role model for the country."

Just as Su Fengzhang was about to say a few more compliments, the door to the Chen family creaked open, and the doorman said with a bitter face, "Second Master Su, Young Master Su, our wife wants to see you."

Su Fengzhang nodded and pulled Uncle Su in.

Uncle Su had been to the Chen family before when the marriage proposal was made, but this was Su Fengzhang's first visit. When he entered the house, he felt that the Chen family was indeed a nouveau riche, a small business. The yard was in a mess, and all the expensive items were displayed there.

Of course, in the eyes of the Chen family, this might just be wealth, which is why they look down on the declining Su family.

When they walked into the lobby, they saw a middle-aged woman with pearls and jade on her hair sitting there. She looked quite wealthy. She didn't even frown when she saw them come in, and she drank her tea slowly and leisurely.

Second Uncle Su coughed, "Madam Su, we are here today..."

"Don't talk about this in a hurry. Why don't you two sit down and have a cup of tea. This tea was brought back by our master from the county government office and was personally awarded by the county magistrate. Now that the Su family has fallen on hard times, I'm afraid we won't be able to drink such good tea in the future." Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

Uncle Su was speechless all of a sudden. Even though his brother had been a minor official for many years, Uncle Su was an honest farmer.

Su Fengzhang took a sip to moisten his throat and said, "It tastes just average. The county magistrate probably doesn't like Mr. Chen, so he only gave him tea foam. The Chen family was born into a merchant family, so it's understandable that they haven't seen good tea. If Madam Chen likes it, I'll go back and look through the tea my father left behind. Although it's last year's old tea, it's good."

Mrs. Chen's expression suddenly darkened: "How can you be so rude, young man?"

Su Fengzhang asked, confused, "Why is Madam Chen so angry? Our two families are still relatives now. I'm the younger generation, but am I wrong to give you good tea? Or is Madam Chen just used to this tea?"

The engagement had to be cancelled, but the two families had long been enemies, so there was really no need to be polite.

Madam Chen sneered and said, "What marriage? If the engagement is cancelled, our two families will have nothing to do with each other anymore. Where is my daughter's engagement letter?"

"Where is the betrothal gift sent by my Chen family?" Su Fengzhang asked back.

"Your family has wasted my daughter's prime years, causing her to be accused of being a jinx, and you're even trying to get the betrothal gifts back?" Madam Chen clearly wasn't about to give them away. "When we got engaged, the Su family never mentioned your brother's poor health. If you hadn't come, I'd have gone to the county government and filed a lawsuit against you for marriage fraud."

"By then, forget about the betrothal gifts. You guys might even be able to save your lives. Unless the Su family signs a written document stating that Su Zongzhang's death was due to his own frailty and illness, and had nothing to do with my daughter, otherwise..."

"What else? Miss Chen, are you going to marry me and become my sister-in-law?" Su Fengzhang still had a smile on his face.

"If that's the case, then today's trip won't be in vain. Just set a date for the wedding."

Madam Chen was so angry that she fell backwards, and the two maids beside her were so frightened that they hurriedly tried to calm her down: "You, you little bastard are just dreaming. My daughter will never marry into the Su family."

"Mrs. Chen, do you mean that you won't return the betrothal gifts, your daughter won't marry, and you don't want the engagement letter?" Su Fengzhang asked back.

"So what if you don't want it anymore?" Mrs. Chen sneered. "Everyone outside thought the engagement was called off that day and the engagement letter was taken back. Who knows whether the engagement letter in your family is real or fake?"

This is just cheating! Uncle Su was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up.

Su Fengzhang patted his second uncle's hand, suggesting that he should be patient.

The next moment, he also smiled and nodded, saying, "Oh, so the engagement letter in my family is fake. That's quite strange. When I get home, I'll copy a hundred or eighty copies and give them to the elders and villagers in the county town to admire. I'm sure the Chen family won't be afraid."

"You, you scoundrel!" Mrs. Chen obviously did not expect that the Su family was known as a farming and reading family. When Su Dianli was still alive, he cared most about face. After his death, this kid from the Su family was so shameless and used such a dirty trick.

If my daughter's engagement letter was flying all over the streets, she would have no future at all.

Su Fengzhang knew she wouldn't dare joke about her daughter's future, so she asked, "Madam Chen, both our families know whether the engagement letter is real or fake. To be honest, we have no intention of marrying your daughter, otherwise we wouldn't be here to cancel the engagement today."

"When the two families arranged the marriage, we hired a guarantor and a matchmaker. We live in the county government office, and everyone knows how my brother's health is. Now my father has passed away, but compared to the huge county government office, there must be no one who is willing to tell the truth. How can I be charged with marriage fraud?"

"But if Madam Chen wants to use the Su family's reputation to guarantee your daughter's future, she can't. It wasn't my Su family who forced you to get engaged in the first place. Now that you're breaking off the engagement, you have to do it one by one."

Mrs. Chen finally realized that although Su Dianli was dead, this boy from the Su family was not so easy to fool.

She was already regretting the conditions she had just put forward. Although the Su family's betrothal gifts were not small, their family really did not lack that little money. In fact, her master had already arranged another marriage for her daughter, so she could not be careless.

Seeing Madam Chen's expression constantly changing, Su Fengzhang continued, "Since the engagement is being cancelled, it's true that your servants were so arrogant and unreasonable that my brother fell ill and died. The betrothal gifts must be returned, and your family must also kowtow and burn incense at the graves of my father and brother to comfort their souls in the afterlife."

"Don't go too far!" Mrs. Chen's face flushed and she was about to get angry.

Su Fengzhang continued, "If the Chen family is sincere, we can part ways amicably. If the Chen family pushes us too far, the Su family has already done this, so there's nothing to be afraid of."

"When the time comes, I, a young boy, will take my widowed mother and my younger brothers and sisters with me to set up a tent in front of your Chen family's door to mourn, and cry for one day as long as I am alive." Isn't it a competition of who is more arrogant and who is a scoundrel? He is afraid of no one more than this.

Mrs. Chen was so angry that she covered her chest and couldn't speak. At this moment, a man walked out of the side room. Judging from his short stature, it was obviously Mr. Chen. Su Fengzhang really couldn't figure out why his eldest brother fell in love with Miss Chen. His parents' looks were really amazing.

Master Chen laughed heartily and took Su Fengzhang's hand, saying affectionately, "Nephew Su, why are you so angry? I just came back and realized that this woman was making the decision so recklessly. You know that your father and I are close friends, and I would never do anything to hurt you."
