Later, when the Shen family went into business, all that remained when they met was a polite smile; there was no sign of genuine friendship, and they stopped associating with the Qiao family.
Now, the Shen family's thoughts have finally been clearly revealed.
Old Qiao felt a pang of sadness. "Old Shen, what would you think if you saw this scene from the other side?"
Old Mrs. Qiao sneered: "It seems you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. You have other plans in your hearts, but you won't let go of my granddaughter and delay her life's important event. You have gone too far, so don't blame me for being impolite."
She suddenly stood up.
"Then let the villagers decide this matter. If you refuse to answer, you must give an answer when the villagers arrive."
He was about to go out and call for help when he said that.
“My dear sister, you can’t do this! You’re ruining the reputation of the Shen family. How are we supposed to do business in town?”
Grandma Shen rushed over and hugged Grandma Qiao.
"You are the ones who are ruining my granddaughter's future." Grandma Qiao's eyes welled up with tears. If the Shen family had been more sincere, how could she have been willing to go this far?
If the Shen family doesn't want this marriage anymore, they should make it clear so that she can find a suitable match for Xi'er. Otherwise, if two years pass and all the good young men from eligible families are taken, what will Xi'er do?
Fortunately, sensing something was amiss, even the woman's family made the difficult decision to personally visit the Shen family.
This investigation revealed that their overthinking was not the case.
Old Mrs. Qiao is now terrified and furious.
"Get out of the way, this matter must be resolved today."
Grandma Qiao was strong and easily pushed Grandma Shen away.
She stepped across the threshold and rushed out into the courtyard, shouting, "Everyone, come and see! Come and judge this!"
"Old sister, I'm kneeling down before you." Shen's old lady's mournful voice came from behind.
Grandma Qiao stopped and looked back, only to see Grandma Shen leaning against the door, slowly about to kneel down.
Liu Shi desperately supported Old Lady Shen, saying, "Mother, you're old and have rheumatism, how can you kneel on the ground?"
Old Man Qiao was furious: "You're really pushing us too far."
Liu said, "We've tried everything we could, but you just won't let it go."
The two sides were locked in a stalemate.
Qiao Lian'er thought for a moment and then said, "Grandpa, Grandma, let's go back first."
Being forced to kneel before someone is believed to shorten one's lifespan and bring bad luck.
Grandma Qiao looked at Qiao Lian'er with a determined look in her bright black eyes, clearly indicating that she had made up her mind.
She exhaled angrily: "Fine, go back. But the Qiao family will not let this matter rest. You'd better not have any shady ideas, or I'll go and make a scene in front of your shop."
"Old sister, don't put it so harshly." Old Mrs. Shen breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart tightened again: "The Shen family will definitely give you an explanation. Just go back and wait."
The two elders and the child left, and Qiao Lian'er carried the food box that had never been opened. Shen Xiu caught up with them, carrying a cloth bag containing some rice and flour.
"No need," Old Mrs. Qiao said, not taking the bag.
Not rare.
The three of them left the Shen family's house without looking back.
