Chapter 29 Pregnant with another man's child (Seeking monthly votes)
Xu Yuanyuan's smile vanished instantly. "Auntie, are you mistaken? Wang Hao and I have a great relationship. How could he possibly cancel our engagement? I don't believe it. Unless he stands in front of me and says it himself, don't even think about taking back what his family gave us."
Matchmaker Zhou felt she was incredibly unlucky to have been arranged to marry Xu Yuanyuan, as Wang Xiuzhi was as frightening as a tigress.
Old Wang's family is pressuring her again. If she doesn't resolve Wang Xiuzhi's family's issues soon, they'll have to get everything Old Wang's family needs from Zhou the matchmaker.
When Zhou the matchmaker heard that Wang Xiuzhi had returned to her parents' home, she mustered up the courage to come over.
Zhou the matchmaker did not want to fulfill Xu Yuanyuan's request for the time being.
“Yuanyuan, you’re not bad looking either, and you’re not bad tall either. After Wang Hao’s family is gone, Auntie will find you a better family, one that’s guaranteed to be taller and more handsome than Wang Hao,” Zhou the matchmaker said against her conscience.
Xu Yuanyuan stubbornly refused to budge, saying, "No, I have to meet Wang Hao. If he doesn't show up, our marriage will never happen. I'll beat up anyone who dares to date him!"
When Zhou the matchmaker saw that she couldn't persuade her, she had no choice but to go home and relay Xu Yuanyuan's request.
Old Wang squatted under the eaves, puffing on welding fumes, one puff after another, without saying a word for a long time.
Wang Hao's mother came out of the house and called out to Old Wang, "Old man, say something! Haozi is our only son. If Xu Yuanyuan really causes trouble in our house, her reputation will be ruined, and Haozi's reputation will be ruined too. What good girl will want to be our daughter-in-law in the future?"
Old Wang tapped the welding fumes against the earthen wall, shook the soot out of his pipe, and stood up.
"Wang Feng, Wang Zhaodi, Haozi, come with me to Xujia Village." Old Wang had made up his mind; this matter couldn't be delayed.
The longer it drags on, the worse things will get.
Wang Hao's mother wiped the water off her hands and asked, "Should I come along?"
"Your son isn't yours? Such a big thing happened, and Haozi's older sisters were all there, but you, as his mother, weren't?" Old Wang said irritably.
Feeling somewhat wronged, Wang Hao's mother muttered, "I was just asking a question, why are you getting angry?"
"I get angry just looking at you. You insisted on marrying into Wang Xiuzhi's family for a hundred yuan or so. Are those people good people?" Old Wang said, his anger simmering inside.
These days, there's hardly enough tobacco in his pipe for him to smoke.
"Oh no, I've spent some of that hundred yuan, and now I only have seventy-three yuan left. What if Xu Yuanyuan asks for money?" Wang Hao's mother said with a troubled expression.
"What can you do all day besides spend money?" Old Wang cursed.
Wang Hao's mother felt wronged, "The money was all spent on things the family needed, and I didn't spend a single penny on myself."
Old Wang, "You get upset just because I said a few words to you? You have quite the temper!"
Wang Hao's mother was glared at, and she held back her grievances, not daring to say anything more.
Wang Hao, with one hand in his pocket and an indifferent expression, said, "Xu Yuanyuan was willing to give me a hundred yuan because she liked my face. Now someone is willing to pay two hundred yuan to date me. If she dares to ask for the hundred yuan back, I will look down on her for the rest of my life."
The others remained silent.
Matchmaker Zhou praised, "Wang Hao has a handsome face; many young girls would be smitten with him."
Wang Hao was so happy his tail was practically wagging in the air.
The group of people went to Xujia Village in a large group. The two villages were not far apart, and Tang Ming walked there.
It took more than twenty minutes. Then, Matchmaker Zhou knocked on the door and called out to the people inside, "Is Yuanyuan still home? I've brought her over to you."
Xu Yuanyuan gritted her teeth, bent over, and tucked the large red flower on the table behind her ear.
The first time she met Wang Hao, she was wearing this big red flower, and Wang Hao praised her for being very different from other girls.
Xu Yuanyuan was happy for a long time because of this.
Xu Yuanyuan hurriedly limped out of the house, deliberately slowing her pace and casually replying, "I'm at home."
Xu Yuanyuan opened the door and immediately saw Wang Hao standing behind Zhou the matchmaker.
Wang Hao is 1.75 meters tall, has fair skin, and has two dimples when he smiles, which Xu Yuanyuan likes very much.
Zhou, the matchmaker, noticed that Xu Yuanyuan was stunned and coughed. "Yuanyuan, you asked me to bring the person here, and I did as you asked. I heard that your mother has something to do and can't be here, but you are the person in question and have the ability to make a judgment. Let's go inside and talk about canceling the marriage."
Xu Yuanyuan led the person into the house and offered them a stool.
In the past, Xu Yuanyuan would never offer a stool to anyone who came to her house.
Xu Yuanyuan looked at Wang Hao and asked, "Do you really want to cancel our engagement?"
Wang Hao glanced at Xu Yuanyuan with disdain, then looked away; it was torture to even look at her.
Wang Hao nodded, "That's right, otherwise why would our whole family come here to play with you?"
Xu Yuanyuan was furious. "But you clearly told me before that you had feelings for me. How could you change your mind so quickly?"
"Don't you ever look in the mirror? With your face and such a fat body, what man could like you? If it weren't for the money, I'd throw up if I said another word to you."
Xu Yuanyuan looked at Wang Hao in disbelief, "You... how could you say such a thoughtless thing to me?"
"Stop talking nonsense. Today, while Matchmaker Zhou is here, let's cancel the engagement. Your family accepted thirty eggs and twenty catties of flour from my family. Return them immediately. From now on, we'll go our separate ways."
"No, I don't agree." Xu Yuanyuan impulsively stepped forward, her large strides aggravating her wound, causing her to wince in pain. "You promised to marry me, and now you want to cancel the engagement just like that? What do you take me for?"
Looking at the ugly face so close to his face, Wang Hao felt a wave of nausea.
"Stay away from me, you stink!" Wang Hao said with disgust. "You're ugly and unclean, why should I be with you?"
Xu Yuanyuan hasn't taken a bath since Wang Xiuzhi left home.
In the sweltering summer heat, she sweats a lot and now smells particularly bad.
But she didn't think she smelled bad, and just assumed that Wang Hao was deliberately picking on her so that he wouldn't be with her.
"Since you've come to my house today, you're not leaving tonight. I'll take charge of my marriage. The hundred yuan I'm giving you is a deposit. You're mine now." Xu Yuanyuan impulsively hugged Wang Hao and pouted, about to kiss his cheek.
Wang Haoyang slapped Xu Yuanyuan several times and kicked her away.
Xu Yuanyuan took two steps back, lost her balance, and stumbled and fell to the ground.
The wound on his buttocks was torn open again, and blood immediately stained his pants.
Wang Hao's mother was shocked. "Why is there blood on her pants? Could it be that she's pregnant with another man's child, and he doesn't want her anymore, so he's deliberately trying to get our Hao to take her in? Our family isn't a victim of injustice. This marriage must be called off."
Old Wang was also furious, directing his two daughters to move things. "Wang Feng, Wang Zhaodi, you take things out of the house and make sure to give us thirty eggs and twenty catties of flour in return. We won't let them get a single penny off us!"
"What kind of petty thief came here to steal things?"
