Chapter 201 Isn’t it nice for everyone to get what they need?
Looking at Tan Chen's expression again, it was more serious than ever.
"I thought the solution to this matter was not very glorious, so I didn't tell you."
These words were obviously a little weak in tone.
Tan Chen was indeed angry. He was angry that Shang Ruoting didn't tell him about such a big thing that happened to her.
"If your plan fails, you'll be in danger. If you tell me, at least someone can help you..."
Tan Chen now simply cannot imagine what the consequences would have been if his wife had not been brave and careful, and if Zhang Xiaohong had not informed him in advance.
In short, he is in a very depressed mood now, and he hates what Shang Ruolian and Qiao Yuan have done.
What happened today also made Old Lady Shang and others guess the purpose of Zhang Lanxiang and Shang Ruolan coming to their house to show goodwill that day. It was nothing more than to let them relax their vigilance and win some favor from Old Lady Shang so that they could lead them away when the time comes.
The three of them returned to the threshing ground with their own thoughts. At this time, the two captains had finished their speeches and there was a loud sound of gongs and drums all around.
Everyone had a bright smile on their face and was looking forward to a better life in the future.
Over in the cowshed, Zhang Lanxiang reluctantly gave the women a few dollars as hush money in order to shut them up.
Everyone took the money and promised not to spread the news.
Of course, if Qiao Yuan suddenly changes his mind and disagrees with marrying Shang Ruolian, they will also come out to testify.
The women took the money and left happily. Zhang Lanxiang returned to the thatched hut again.
At this time, Qiao Yuan and Shang Ruolian had already put on their clothes and were sitting there talking.
"Didn't we agree on this? I will be responsible for luring Shang Ruoting here, and you will lead her into the house and then carry out our plan. Why did it turn out like this?" Although Shang Ruolian had calmed down a little, there was still anger in her tone.
Qiao Yuan stood up and pointed at the burnt incense ashes on the table and shouted, "When we were discussing things the other day, there was no incense on the table. It must be you who did it, right?"
Shang Ruolian looked at the incense ash on the table, obviously feeling a little guilty, but still admitted it.
"You didn't follow our plan, otherwise how could you have been the first to be attacked?"
"That was what I prepared for Shang Ruoting. Who knew you would come to this room first?"
Qiao Yuan was so angry that he was shaking all over: "I waited outside for a long time, but didn't see Shang Ruoting. I wanted to come back here to rest for a while, but who knew you would light incense..."
Zhang Lanxiang watched the two people blaming each other and stepped forward to stop them.
"Stop arguing. We'll be a family tomorrow. What's there to argue about?"
Shang Ruolian and Qiao Yuan could be said to look down on each other. After looking at each other, they rolled their eyes and turned their heads away.
Zhang Lanxiang could also see that the two of them had no good feelings for each other. Since things had already happened, she could only try her best to bring them together.
"Let's go! Let's go back and discuss your wedding tomorrow."
"I don't agree to marry him." Shang Ruolian said without thinking.
Qiao Yuan rolled his eyes at her again: "As if I am willing to marry a country woman like you."
Shang Ruolian walked up to Qiao Yuan and said, "Since neither of us wants to get married, you can compensate me in other ways. If you satisfy me, I promise not to bother you."
Zhang Lanxiang was still relatively rational at the moment. In her mind, no matter what compensation Qiao Yuan offered, her daughter's innocence would be lost, and her life would be ruined...
"No, no compensation, just get married tomorrow."
When Qiao Yuan heard Shang Ruolian's offer of compensation, he seemed to feel a lot more relieved.
As long as he doesn't marry her, he is willing to make certain compensation.
Therefore, he pretended not to hear what Zhang Lanxiang said.
"What compensation do you want?"
Shang Ruolian walked past Zhang Lanxiang and came directly in front of Qiao Yuan, extending three fingers.
"Give me three hundred dollars, and I promise I'll never have anything to do with you again."
Qiao Yuan didn't expect that her conditions would be so harsh. Not to mention three hundred, he couldn't even come up with thirty.
Although he is a city dweller, he has many brothers and he is the eldest in the family. His parents spend almost all their money every month and cannot afford to pay so much money.
"Three hundred? Why don't you just rob them?"
Shang Ruolian disagreed with his behavior. Based on her understanding of Qiao Yuan, he would rather give up his wealth than marry her.
"You destroyed a woman's most precious thing. Is three hundred too much?"
"Besides, you don't want to have anything to do with me anyway, so isn't it better for us to just get what we want?"
Qiao Yuan fell into deep thought, trying to think of how he could get three hundred yuan to send Shang Ruolian away.
