"Auntie, I want to know if your decision to break off the engagement is yours or Nizi's?"
"Of course it's Nizi's idea." Old Mrs. Qiu took a red hair clip out of her pocket and casually threw it on the ground.
"Isn't this your engagement token? I've brought it to you. From today onwards, your engagement is off!"
"So you don't want to return a single penny of the bride price my dad gave you!" Ji Xianlin's tone hardened. "That's 166 yuan, not 6 yuan! You're just saying you won't give it back?"
Old Mrs. Qiu pointed at his head, "Money that's in my pocket, you can forget about getting it back!" Then she pointed to the side.
"Your whole family is no good either. You won't get away with bullying my family!"
Lu Zhixia clapped her hands and said with a smile, "The saying goes that a blessed man doesn't marry a woman who isn't blessed! It's a good thing for my younger brother to see the true colors of your family before the wedding."
Looking at the girl in front of him, Ji Xianlin was embarrassed and at a loss for words. He didn't know who this woman was.
Seeing his father's smiling face, he guessed that this was the important person his father had mentioned.
Old Mrs. Qiu waved to her three sons, telling them to teach this brat who didn't know her own limits a lesson!
The three brothers rushed over immediately, but before they could even get close...
Gu Lingxiao kicked one of them away, sending him crashing into the wall with a thud.
The roof beams were shaken, followed by a cloud of dust falling from the sky.
The other two brothers reacted and rushed over from the left and right.
Gu Lingxiao first threw the person on the left over his shoulder, then punched the person on the right in the right eye, and then kicked him in the stomach.
The three brothers fell to the ground without even touching the hem of his clothes.
"Murder!" Old Mrs. Qiu shouted in fright. Her three sons had been fighting since they were young, and they couldn't say they always won.
But this was the first time she had been beaten so badly. She lay on the ground groaning in pain, which scared her so much that she wet her pants.
She was terrified that the man's fist would hit her on the head!
Lu Zhixia covered her nose with her hand. Sure enough, the villain's urine smelled terrible, and it was an extremely foul stench.
Old Mrs. Qiu pointed at them, "You... I'll make you pay the price!"
Since things had escalated to this point, Old Man Ji stopped pretending, got out of bed to put on his shoes, and grabbed the old woman by the collar.
"You old vile woman! What have we done to you? Why are you bullying us like this? Are you just relying on the fact that your Qiu family has so many sons?"
Old Mrs. Qiu regretted it. She shouldn't have taken her three sons out; she should have called all the men in the family.
She didn't lose; she just underestimated her opponent!
She covered her head with both hands, saying, "You can't hit me! I'm old, I can't take a beating!"
She was afraid the old man would beat her to death because she hadn't lived enough!
"Oh! Now you're scared?" Lu Zhixia mocked. "Where did that smug attitude go?"
Old Mrs. Qiu pleaded in anguish, "I know I was wrong, we won't call off this engagement!"
She decided to feign weakness first, and once the couple in front of her were gone, she could easily deal with the Ji family however she wanted.
“I want to withdraw!” Ji Xianlin said.
All eyes were on him.
Ji Xianlin didn't want her father to suffer such humiliation again, so she felt it was better not to go through with the marriage, and could only say that he and Wang Ni were not meant to be.
"Why should we?" Old Mrs. Qiu shrieked. "We're not breaking off the engagement anymore, you're the one who wants to break it off!"
"That's because my son saw through the true colors of your whole family." Old Man Ji slowly released his hand.
"Marrying into a family like yours is the worst thing that can happen to you!"
"Fine, I'll return it!" Old Mrs. Qiu took out the money wrapped in red paper from her pocket. "This is the betrothal money you sent to my house! I'm telling you, I'm returning the money today, and there's no possibility between you two anymore!"
Ji Xianlin: "Tell Nizi for me that I did my best!"
Old Mrs. Qiu spat on the ground, refusing to believe she was at fault, and began spouting nonsense with her hands on her hips.
"My daughter must have been blind to fall for you. You have no money, little education, and no skills."
Marrying into your family means starving to death and suffering poverty for the rest of my life!
Old Ji picked up the red paper packet from the ground, opened it, counted the money inside, and confirmed that the amount was correct.
"Alright, the money has been returned, and the marriage between our two families is off!"
To save face, Old Mrs. Qiu continued to argue and make excuses.
"Hmph, what's so great about you? With your family's circumstances, my daughter can easily marry into a much better family!"
"You'll regret this!" Old Ji said.
