The Qiao family felt that Old Lady Shen's expression seemed to suggest she was plotting something, which gave them a somewhat sinister feeling.
However, now that the land deed is in hand, we don't care what trouble the Shen family causes, as long as they don't try to intimidate the Qiao family.
"Here are your engagement letters, here they are back." Boss Qiao had already gone home to retrieve the engagement letters, and in front of all the villagers, he tore them to shreds in a few swift movements.
"Oh—" Old Mrs. Shen tried to stop her, but it was too late.
Once this is torn up, things can get complicated.
But then she thought about it again. It wasn't a formal marriage anyway, so whether there was a betrothal letter or not made no difference. Tearing it up would actually put Shi Murou at ease.
Shi Murou said, "Grandma Chen, what's wrong? It's a good thing that the engagement letter was torn up."
"Yes, of course it's a good thing. I just think they were too rude." Old Mrs. Shen quickly put on a smiling face: "Miss Shi was frightened just now. Come in and have some tea to calm your nerves."
At this moment, the Qiao family looked at the Shen family with a resolute determination to never see each other again.
Breaking off with that kind of family allows me to find a good match for Xi'er, which is truly refreshing.
However, they discovered that although the Shen family was furious that they had taken away three excellent paddy fields from the Shen family, they did not feel that the relationship had been completely severed.
It's weird, I can't quite put my finger on it.
Never mind, the matter is resolved, time to go home.
The villagers dispersed.
Da Meng and Xiao Meng took Qiao Xi'er home. Qiao Xi'er sat leaning against the headboard, lost in thought for a long time, her face blank.
Old Mrs. Qiao went in and came out, Mrs. Feng went in and came out, and one woman after another went in and came out.
One by one, the men went outside and spoke to Qiao Xi'er inside through the doors and windows.
At times like these, they want Qiao Xier to know that her family will always be by her side.
Qiao Lian'er knew that Qiao Xi'er was just having trouble accepting it for a while. She wasn't actually that fragile. Time heals all wounds, and she would definitely be able to get through it.
Sister Xi deserves someone better.
However, she felt there was something wrong with this whole thing.
Feng was cooking in the kitchen, and Qiao Yunni was helping her while talking to her.
Grandma Qiao was sweeping the yard. Unlike her usual sharp and assertive demeanor, Grandma Qiao's face was grave at this moment.
"Grandma." Qiao Lian'er walked to Grandma Qiao's side.
"Hey, what's wrong, Lian'er?"
“These three acres of paddy fields belong to our family, but what about the crops planted on them? The Shen family doesn’t mention them at all.”
"Oh, right," Mrs. Joe immediately realized the problem.
The Shen family's three mu of paddy fields had never been damaged by floods, and the soil was fertile and well-preserved. The rice planted on them was plump and golden.
Logically, the paddy fields should belong to the Qiao family, but the Shen family will never give up the fruits of their hard work this year; they want the rice harvest back.
"It's best if they didn't mention it. If they didn't mention it, then it's our family's." Old Mrs. Qiao said, "Besides, the Shen family owes the Qiao family. I still think three mu of paddy fields aren't enough. It's their duty to compensate us with another year's worth of crops."
Qiao Lian'er shook her head: "The Shen family is stingy, they can't be this generous. They must have a reason for doing this."
What's the reason?
“They will definitely still want the three acres of paddy fields back, so of course they won’t mention the crops.”
"Going back? The land deed has already been transferred. Do you think you can take it back?" Old Mrs. Qiao thought the Shen family was dreaming.
“So they will have another move,” Qiao Lian’er said confidently.
"Fine, then I'll see what other tricks they have up their sleeves." Old Mrs. Qiao snorted.
