Thinking of this, Zhao gave Chu Qiuyue a look, and Chu Qiuyue immediately stepped forward and took Shen Yuan's arm.
"Sister Yuan, did my brother upset you during our trip to the city? I apologize on his behalf, please don't be angry with him anymore, okay? I just want Sister Yuan to be my sister-in-law!"
"You don't want me to be your sister-in-law, you want me to be the Chu family's money bag!" Shen Yuan pulled away Chu Qiuyue's hand and looked down at her: "Chu Qiuyue, you're only nine years old, how come you're full of scheming and plotting? Did your Chu family eat with their cunning from a young age?"
Chu Qiuyue was ridiculed, and the innocence and cuteness on her face vanished instantly. Her face darkened as if she was trying her best to endure it.
Shen Yuan ignored her and walked up to the village head. She first spread out the marriage certificate: "Uncle Village Head, this is the engagement certificate that Chu Yuning wrote in front of you three years ago. Your fingerprint is also on it. You were our witness on the day of the engagement, and you are also our witness on the day of the annulment!"

Are you going to let Grandma come over and get upset by the attitude of the Chu family?
Villagers don't have many formalities; an engagement or annulment is considered settled simply by informing the village head. Shen Yuan knew that the village head was intentionally protecting the Zhao family.

Shen Yuan knew that she couldn't possibly achieve both things today, but at least one thing had to be accomplished.
So she took out the IOU from the box again. "Uncle Chu said I can't make my own marriage agreement, but as a creditor, I can at least make my own debt agreement! Over the past ten years, Chu Yuning has borrowed a total of one hundred taels of silver from me. I want you to repay this money today, or I will take it to the yamen and go to Ziyun Academy with the yamen runners to collect the debt!"
