Chapter 97 The Shen Family is a Troubling Place
When the stalemate reached a point, Xu Tian got angry and wanted to stab the village chief.
Fortunately, the village chief was quick-witted and only injured his hand, not seriously.
Finally, the village chief asked Shen Lai Di what she wanted to do?
Chen Lai Di said that her family had spent all the money and she was willing to get married to share the burden.
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of both families changed. The Shen family was happy, while the White Widow was gloomy.
If he wasn't the village chief, he would almost be accused of meddling in other people's business.
Because of this incident, the village chief felt a little embarrassed.
Ask White Widow what she wants to do?
The White Widow was furious. She had saved money for her son by living frugally, but she had never expected that someone would scheme against her. She was about to lose everything.
The son stabbed the village chief again and was afraid of being held accountable.
He had no choice but to take Shen Lai Di away with hatred.
However, Shen Lai Di was not treated well on the spot. Asking her to follow the sedan chair was clearly intended to humiliate her.
Chen Lai Di was like a dough figurine. She had no temper at all and followed behind obediently.
When the Shen family saw that everyone had left, they quickly left, leaving the villagers to rage!
"I've never seen a family like this before."
"I'm so angry."
Especially those in the village who have been both daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law, they can tell with their toes that Chen Lai Di will have a hard time in the future!
Seeing Shen Qingyue coming back, everyone wanted to say to her: "Fortunately, you split up early."
I used to think that Shen Qingyue’s parents died early and it was inconvenient for the child to live with others. Now I see that the Shen family has the heart to push even their own daughter into the fire pit.
He is extremely cruel.
Shen Qingyue frowned.
Sister Chun Xing said, "They won't come to trouble Shen Qingyue again, right?
"What kind of thing is this? Shen Qingyue was the most innocent from beginning to end, but she was the one who got caught.
The village chief bandaged his hand and said, "If he acts like a tyrant again, even the villagers won't tolerate it."
"Yes. We don't agree to that."
"Don't worry, Shen Qingyue, if she comes to pick a fight with you, we'll kick her out. Really, don't think there's no one left in our Liujia Village!"
"Just now, I saw that kid has a head that looks like he deserves a beating. I'm waiting for the next time I see him. I must give him a few punches."
Everyone was comforting Shen Qingyue, but one person quietly went back to find the matchmaker.
When the matchmaker heard this, she said, "This..."
It's not a good thing to cancel the engagement, and besides, we have already agreed on it privately.
The market price was five yuan plus a thank-you gift. But she gritted her teeth and gave him ten yuan: "Just help me cancel this deal."
The matchmaker was blinded by the money and hurried to the Shen family's old house.
The atmosphere in the Shen family's old house is quite low at the moment.
Zeng Juhua from the second house saw the matchmaker coming and cheered up to greet her: "Oh, why are you here?" Then she led her into her room!
The other people in the old house were all in their rooms, and it was hard to tell whether they were happy or unhappy. The money was saved, but the villagers were offended.
Xu Xiuzhi was especially frightened when she heard the door slam. She was afraid the village chief would come to her house to accuse her. She asked, "Who is it?"
Zeng Juhua said, "It's Aunt Feng."
Xu Xiuzhi was in the big house and finally felt relieved.
…
Zeng Juhua asked, "What are you doing here?"
Aunt Feng said, "The marriage that was arranged for your eldest son has fallen through."
Zeng Juhua was horrified: "Why did it fail? We were all fine before, weren't we?"
His eldest son, Shen Chaoxiong, is 22 years old this year. People in the village generally get married early. Many people at this age already have children, and even if they don’t, they are engaged.
Although Zeng Juhua has two sons, they both have their shortcomings.
Not only is she ugly, she also has no idea how to find a partner on her own and can only date secretly.
Zeng Juhua knew her family's disadvantages, so she asked for a higher bride price than the average person in the village, and she finally found one.
The third daughter of the Liu family was very thin. People in the village usually didn't look for such a girl, so she had the opportunity.
After some secret efforts and with the help of the matchmaker, the other party finally agreed to contact her.
She couldn't accept that the relationship was over before they even started.
Matchmaker Aunt Feng said, "Humph, it's all because of what happened to your family today that the Liu family is upset. They say you're pushing your own daughter into the fire pit. You're too cruel. If you treat your daughter like this, you'll definitely treat your daughter-in-law like this too. They're not going to do anything about it."
"Hey, this is the third house's business, what does it have to do with me? Besides, my mother-in-law is used to being overbearing. As a daughter-in-law, how can I control my elders? You should speak well of this to the Liu family. Money is not a problem."
The matchmaker said, "It's no use saying anything."
Zeng Juhua seemed to have all her strength drained away. After a long while, she said, "That won't work. Can you introduce me to someone else?"
The matchmaker said, "I advise you not to waste your energy. Now that the situation has gotten so serious, your in-laws have even stabbed the village chief. The villagers hate you like crazy now. It's best not to get involved in this."
Zeng Juhua herself doesn't realize it yet.
The Shen family’s old house is almost becoming a nuisance to everyone.
Anyone who is so desperate as to marry them would be making an enemy of the entire village.
After the matchmaker left.
Zeng Juhua was in a daze. Their Shen family used to be a respectable family in the village, so how did they end up like this now?
The reason for building a house during the famine was to get her son married. Now the house was built, but there was still no sign of her daughter-in-law. Zeng Juhua couldn't help but feel sad and burst into tears!
Now, the third house and Xu Xiuzhi's main house were all frightened.
Although the Shen family’s old house has saved a thousand yuan and made the White Widow suffer a loss, the incident was too big and everyone was a little nervous.
…
Shen Qingyue returned home to work.
Eldest sister Shen Mei came back and immediately held Shen Qingyue in her arms, her body still trembling slightly.
Shen Qingyue thought that her elder sister was scared after hearing about the White Widow.
Just as I was about to comfort her, I heard the elder sister say, "I heard everything. The guy who spread the pornographic rumor at the steel mill was arrested. Why didn't you tell me?"
She heard it while taking extra classes in the teacher's office.
Although she listened to the version of retribution in this life, she was still frightened when she thought about such a big thing happening.
She hugged Shen Qingyue and started crying: "Sister didn't protect you well. Sister won't go to school. I will accompany you."
Shen Qingyue patted her elder sister on the back and said, "It's okay, it's all in the past. Besides, that jerk lost his job and was even publicly reported. Now everyone knows what kind of person he is. No one will believe what he says."
The eldest sister was still crying.
Shen Qingyue was a little curious for a moment and asked, "If this rumor is not cleared up and spreads back to the village, will you feel ashamed?"
The eldest sister stopped crying and looked at Shen Qingyue, saying every word as if she was earnestly swearing: "I will accompany you to leave the village and find a place to start over. I will always be by your side. Don't commit suicide because of a few words from others."
She heard that the female teacher was killed by rumors and was scared all day long.
Fortunately, Shen Qingyue is strong, but what if she is not strong? Home is her harbor, gossip is not a big deal, the most important thing is to stay alive.
