Chapter 2: The Broken Engagement
Su Chunlin and his wife knew that it was not right to hide the fact that their daughter was mentally retarded from their future in-laws, and they did not have the confidence to face Ding's questioning. However, when they thought of Su Tai's performance just now, they straightened their backs a little.
Han Shi glared at the Ding family members angrily, "How can you talk like that? My daughter has been in the village for so many years, who said she was stupid? If she was really stupid, how could we have kept it a secret for so long! I think you are here to cause trouble to us because you didn't get any advantage from today's incident. You are shameless!"
Su Tai's illness was a thorn in Han's heart. She couldn't stand anyone slandering her daughter and spoke very rudely to them.
Mrs. Ding didn't expect that Han could still be so confident in distorting the facts after all this happened. She was so angry that she jumped up and down, "I'm telling the truth! So many people saw it. If she wasn't stupid, how could she smile and walk forward when others were fighting? Stop confusing right and wrong with me!"
"Try to scold my daughter again!" Han was furious and picked up the carrying pole by the wall to fight with Ding.
At the critical moment, a man who was not very impressive stood up behind Ding and protected Ding behind him. "Aunt Su, we are here to reason, not to fight. Although my aunt's words are unpleasant, she is not just talking nonsense. Miss Su's strange behavior today has spread. After only half a day, half of the people in the village went to my house to laugh at me. My aunt was so angry that she brought me here to solve this matter."
Su Chunlin, who was standing by, had not intended to speak out, but when he saw Xiong Kai standing up, he could no longer remain silent and asked expressionlessly, "How are you going to solve this?"
He had already made up his mind that if Xiong Kai asked Su Tai to go to Ximen Village, he would go with him. It was not a big deal.
Xiong Kai bowed to Su Chunlin politely and said solemnly, "I hope that Uncle Shi will agree to cancel my marriage with Miss Su."
"What did you say?" Su Chunlin stood up angrily.
Han was quicker than him and hit Xiong Kai on the forehead with the carrying pole.
Xiong Kai was caught off guard and was hit directly.
Ding was so frightened that she screamed and cursed.
The people in Ximen Village were so angry that they wanted to take action.
"Stop!" The village chief Su Changxi rushed over in time with a group of people.
When the people from Ximen Village saw this, they wisely stopped, but they thought they were in the right and did not back down at all.
"Su Chunlin's family deceived our Xiong family first, and now they have beaten Xiong Kai. If you want to favor them, don't blame us for making a big deal out of it. Let's see which village dares to marry a girl from your Dongmen Village in the future!"
Su Changxi pursed his lips and walked forward to take a closer look at Xiong Kai's condition. Seeing that he was covering his forehead but there was no blood or swelling, he immediately understood and nodded slowly: "This matter was indeed Chunlin's impulsiveness. I will ask Chunlin to go to Ximen Village to apologize later."
The people from the Xiong family didn't expect Su Changxi to be so easy to talk to, and no one responded for a while.
Xiong Kai's face turned pale, and he looked straight at Su Chunlin and said loudly, "Uncle Shi, today I have repaid you with this carrying pole. You have beaten me, and now you should have let go of your anger. You can agree to my request, right?"
"You" Han was about to take action again.
Su Chunlin stopped her and glared at Xiong Kai fiercely, "What if I don't agree?"
The atmosphere suddenly became a little tense.
Xiong Kai looked at Su Chunlin deeply, sneered, stood up from the ground, and patted the dust off his butt unceremoniously, "If Uncle Shi doesn't agree, I can't do anything, but our Xiong family is poor and can't afford to raise a fool. Uncle Shi insists on sending Miss Su to our Xiong family, so we can only let her fend for herself."
"Is this human language?" Han rolled her eyes in anger.
Xiong Kai, however, acted like a rogue who was not afraid of wearing shoes when barefoot. "We are an orphan and a widow, the situation is clear. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask around. If Miss Su doesn't live well, don't blame me."
"That's right! Our Xiong family is not a wealthy family. You insist on holding on to our Xiong Kai. It shows that your daughter is really a fool who can't get married!" Mrs. Ding insisted that Su Tai was a fool.
Han couldn't stand it any longer, so she threw the carrying pole and rushed towards Ding, "I'm going to fight you!"
Xiong Kai helped Ding block the attack and pushed Han away.
Su Chunlin had a reason to take action, so he rushed forward immediately. Su Zhan saw the opportunity and went over to help Han.
The other members of the Xiong family also wanted to go up, but there were villagers from Dongmen Village who were eyeing them covetously. They didn't want to be beaten, so they could only watch anxiously.
Su Tai in the room knew that these people came with bad intentions and was worried that her family would suffer. She was about to leave when she suddenly found that her clothes were being pulled. She looked back and saw Su Ming holding her firmly with his eyes.
Su Tai felt helpless. She looked outside, then looked down at the little carrot Ding Su Ming, squatted down, and whispered to Su Ming in a not-so-fluent accent: "Call Dad in. I have something to say to him."
Su Ming opened his mouth wide, and Su Tai quickly covered his mouth and made a gesture to silence him, "Don't make a sound, quietly call dad."
Su Ming widened his eyes and nodded, then obediently went out to call for help.
"Dad! I pooped on the bed!"
Su Ming's shout left everyone at a loss. Seeing that the fight was almost over, Su Changxi quickly sent someone to separate them.
Su Chunlin's face turned black. He picked up a carrying pole and chased Su Ming into the house. "You little bastard, I'm going to beat your ass into pieces!"
When Su Chunlin chased Su Tai into his room, Su Tai grabbed the furious Su Chunlin and comforted him in a low voice: "Dad, don't be angry, I asked my younger brother to trick you into coming in."
Su Chunlin was stunned, and looked at Su Tai's wrapped head with worry, "Girl, listen to Dad, don't worry about the outside world, this marriage will definitely not fall through. Dad still has something on the Xiong family. If you really piss me off, no one will have an easy life!"
Su Chunlin clenched his fists fiercely and swore a solemn oath.
Su Tai was touched, but shook her head and said, "Father, forget it, let's cancel the engagement. Xiong Kai is obviously not a good person. If I really marry him, I will definitely have a hard time in the future. Now that they have taken the initiative to cancel the engagement, it is not reasonable. We can take this opportunity to ask for benefits from them. This is more practical."
Su Chunlin seemed to not know Su Tai at all. "Girl, how can you be so open-minded?"
Su Tai complained in her heart that any woman who was not blind would not marry such a shameless man, so what was there to be upset about!
"Dad, don't ask me anymore. If Xiong Kai doesn't cancel the engagement, I will too. I can't marry such a worthless guy."
Su Chunlin was amused by this. "Okay! Since you said so, I will listen to you and make sure to get some good things from the Xiong family!"
Su Chunlin went out happily.
Su Tai took the opportunity to close the door. The commotion outside would probably continue for a while, so she could use this opportunity to study the gate of time and space.
She only took a cursory look yesterday, but when she came in today, she discovered that there were three buttons in the upper right corner of the screen of the Space-Time Gate Transfer Station. One was for virtual currency balance inquiry, one was for automatic trading, and the last one was for purchasing media tools.
She clicked on them one by one and read the instructions, and finally understood the function of this transfer station.
The entire Space-Time Gate Transit Station can be understood as a Space-Time Trading Station. She can sell any compliant and legal items to the automatic trading cabinet. As long as she puts the goods into the cabinet, the automatic trading cabinet will actively identify the category and quality of the goods and make an estimate. She can choose to complete the transaction or terminate it.
A successful transaction can earn virtual currency. When the virtual currency accumulates to a specified amount, it can be used to open or upgrade the gate of time and space. At the same time, virtual currency can also be circulated in other time and space and exchanged at an equivalent value.
The rules state that as long as fifty virtual coins are accumulated, the door of time and space can be opened. At present, it seems that the time and space behind these doors should correspond to their properties. The door of time and space - water, it can't be a water world, it just so happens that she needs water, lots and lots of water.
There was only one thought left in Su Tai's mind - transaction.
