Liu Shulin only made her own portion, which was only enough for one person. "If you want to eat it, make it yourself. I just showed you how to do it. Don't tell me you can't do it again."
Cai Junze: “…”
In desperation, he had to bite the bullet and do it himself.
As a result, the rice was half-cooked and the dishes were terrible.
Due to his empty stomach, he could only swallow a few mouthfuls and barely fill himself up.
Probably knowing that his mother would not give in today, Cai Junze decided to endure it for the time being.
After today, I will try to persuade my mother to change her mind.
However, Liu Shulin did not give him a chance to persuade her, and set off for Yuan's house in the next village early the next morning.
"Cai Liu, what do you mean?" Yuan's mother stood up suddenly and glared at Liu Shulin angrily.
Liu Shulin said calmly, "I think our Junze and your Xiao'e are not suitable. Before the betrothal gift is paid, there is still time to cancel the marriage."
After she finished speaking, she took out a purse and placed it on the table. "Here is five taels of silver. It's a compensation for your family. I hope you can accept it."

Liu Shulin said coldly, "Although our two families have reached an agreement before, wasn't that just verbal? Didn't you want to increase the betrothal gift yesterday? Since we haven't even offered the betrothal gift yet, it's still appropriate to talk about breaking off the engagement now, isn't it?"
"Besides, I'm here to inform you, not to negotiate with you! Goodbye."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and left, leaving the purse on the table without taking it with her.
"Cai Liu!" Yuan's mother chased out unwillingly.
Liu Shulin turned around and asked, "Anything else?"
Yuan's mother looked annoyed and said firmly, "I don't agree to cancel the engagement!"
