Chapter 189 The Wang Family Comes to Cancel the Engagement
Yunyue had never really thought about rewards. She was just curious about how her eldest brother, second brother, third sister and Baoya would decorate their houses.
So he scratched his head and said, "Baoya, we haven't thought about the reward yet."
At this moment, Yunhua and Yun Chenglu also came over, and the four children gathered in Baoya's room.
Baoya thought about the reward and said, "How about this? We don't have to judge who is the best. Instead, everyone can choose the room they think is the best decorated, and then prepare a special little prize for the owner of that room. How about that?"
This idea is quite interesting, and Yun Chenglu, Yun Hua and Yun Yue all agree with it.
Now that it was settled, they decided to wait for their eldest brother to come back and start the competition.
That night, all the Yun family members moved into the new house. The children and Zhao Zhilan had their own rooms, and Dalang, Erlang, and Sanlang and their spouses also had their own warm little rooms.
That night, everyone in the Yun family slept soundly.
However, Yunyue, who was not a very good sleeper at night, woke up from the ground early the next morning without Li Rongyue and Yunhua to protect her.
She touched her little butt which didn't hurt much, stuck out her tongue, and quickly got up from the ground. She decided to keep this matter to herself and not tell anyone.
Baoya, who slept next to her, discovered that she had clearly slept with her head facing north last night, but the next morning, her head was facing south, and she had slept in a circle.
She turned around holding her small quilt, folded it and put it neatly, and decided to bury this matter in her heart.
I don’t know if it was because they were too excited about sleeping in the new house, but the four children woke up very early. When we went down to the small living room on the first floor, breakfast was already prepared on the long wooden table.
Zhao Zhilan had her hair combed into a neat bun and sat in the main seat with a refreshed look. The three sons and daughters-in-law of the Yun family also took their seats. Everyone sat together, eating crispy fried dough sticks and drinking hot red date soy milk.
After taking a sip of hot soy milk, Zhao Zhilan squinted her eyes in relief and sighed, "Oh, so refreshing! Right now, I'm really acting like an old lady from a wealthy family."
Wang Cailian continued, "That's only a matter of time. When Chengfu passes the exam and becomes an official, you'll be the official's grandmother, the head of the family, and the old lady!"
"Oh, you're the only one who can talk!" Zhao Zhilan said with a smile, "You, as long as Chengfu becomes an official in the future and your eldest wife prospers, don't forget the good things for your two younger brothers and their families!"
"As a human being, you must not be ungrateful, and you must not forget your roots!"
"Yes, yes, mother is right!" Wang Cailian agreed repeatedly.
Yun Dalang also said, "Don't worry, mother. It's because of our family's unity that we have this wonderful day. I will never forget it!"
"Okay, okay." Zhao Zhilan nodded with satisfaction.
However, while the family was eating, they heard a noisy sound at the back door, with people cursing, shouting, and even crying and howling. It was very lively.
Baoya was holding a fried dough stick in her hand and couldn't sit still anymore, wanting to go watch the fun.
The same went for Yun Chenglu, Yun Hua, and Yun Yue. The three of them stared at the back door with sparkling eyes, as if they could rush out immediately as long as Zhao Zhilan gave the order.
After all, it is human nature to gossip.
It was so noisy outside that Zhao Zhilan couldn't sit still anymore.
Seeing that there was not much food left on the table and everyone had almost finished eating, he said, "Let's go and see what's going on outside."
So, the whole family, young and old, holding fried cakes and fried dough sticks in their hands, opened the back door and rushed out to watch the fun.
As a result, quite a few people had gathered on the street at the back door, probably attracted by the crying, shouting and cursing.
Seeing that they seemed to be gathered at the front door of the Chen family, Zhao Zhilan walked over in small steps and asked Old Man Wang's wife who was squeezed in the crowd.
"What happened to the Chen family?"
"Haha," Old Man Wang's wife laughed sarcastically, "Someone from the Wang family of Heishui Village is here. I don't know why, but they want to cancel their engagement with Chen Xiaojuan."
"So sudden?!" Zhao Zhilan was also quite surprised.
"You know exactly what your daughter did! I don't have time for this nonsense. Return the bracelet and earrings, and the ten taels of silver. The master has said that this marriage is no longer valid!"
It was the sarcastic voice of Aunt Li.
"Why?! You don't even give us a reason, and you just want to cancel the engagement? I won't do it!" Zhou Cuihua's angry voice also came.
"Zhou Cuihua, stop playing dumb with me! If you don't return the money and the jewelry today, we'll meet at the county government office!"
"I know you have a son who's studying in town. If your family gets sued and you go to jail for a few years, will your son still be able to go to school?"
Her words hit the nail on the head, and Zhou Cuihua was stunned.
Yes, her son Chen Chengcai is still studying in town, and her son can’t have a mother who has been in jail!
"I, I..." She opened her mouth and stuttered twice, but still couldn't say anything.
She had spent all her money long ago and had to pawn her jewelry. She still owed foreign debts. How could she repay the Wang family?
As if she had noticed something, Nanny Li glared and said directly, "What do you mean by 'I'? Nothing, right? Then take a look around this house to see if there's anything valuable. Pick it up and move it all out. I'll use it first!"
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a series of rapid and fragmented footsteps.
Baoya, Yun Chenglu, Yunhua and Yunyue were squeezed in the crowd. They looked out through the gaps and saw a dozen people dressed in the same cloth and dressed like servants rushing into the Chen family with sticks.
"You are trying to kill me, a woman!" Zhou Cuihua cried out and collapsed to the ground. "I won't live anymore! You, you are going too far!"
"snort!"
People like Li Ma who have been in big houses have seen all kinds of situations. They ignore people like Zhou Cuihua who are throwing tantrums and making trouble.
There were banging sounds coming from the yard, and I couldn't tell whether the servants were moving things or smashing things.
Seeing such a big commotion, Baoya couldn't help but grab the corner of Yun Chenglu's clothes with her little hands.
He asked nervously, "Second brother, what did Chen Xiaojuan do? Why is the Wang family so angry?"
Wasn't it the Yun family and the Wang family who were at odds? How come the Chen family and the Wang family also broke up in the blink of an eye?
Yun Chenglu shook his head. "How would I know? That little girl Chen Xiaojuan is full of bad intentions. She might have done something to upset that stupid young master."
As the two were whispering, they heard heavy footsteps coming from the Chen family courtyard.
Then, a deep, hoarse male voice rang out: "Stop it right there!"
