Chapter 89 Each Has His Own Plans
After dinner, everyone in Lao Cen's family finished their meal with their own thoughts, and then went back to their own rooms.
Li and Cen Yan stayed behind to clean up and prepare to wash the dishes and pots.
In the first house, Gao and Cen Dajiang brought the children back to the house and started complaining.
"What was Dad thinking this time? It was clearly him who suggested that the second child should go to the fields to work tomorrow, but in the end I just asked one more question and he changed his mind again." Cen Dajiang complained first.
"Humph, I just can't understand dad. He wasn't like this before. Look at this lately, Cen Yan, the troublemaker, has never stopped making trouble. She has made our family restless for a moment. And that's it, dad doesn't even punish her? I thought that if Cen Yan got married quickly, the family would be as harmonious as before, but who would have thought that she would cancel the engagement! With her conditions, she shouldn't have taken a deep look at herself. Apart from Wei Zan, that idiot, who is willing to spend money on her, which man would be willing to have her? Especially with the rumors that have been circulating recently, even if it is finally clarified that it was all Cen Shuang who framed and slandered her, so what? Won't she still have such a reputation?"
Gao's resentment was much greater than Cen Dajiang's.
She snorted coldly at this point and continued, "However, even if she wants to cancel the engagement, don't expect everything to go her way! I will kick her out of the house sooner or later!"
Cen Dajiang was not originally interested in what Cen Yan was like.
But after hearing what his wife said, he thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true.
"How did Cen Yan know that you gave the thirty taels of silver to Beiyang? Yin'e, this is really not a fair thing for you to do. You didn't even tell me!" Cen Dajiang glanced at Gao with some dissatisfaction on his face.
"Look at you, I'm not afraid that you won't agree to lend money to Beiyang. I know that you are the most generous and you will definitely be willing to lend it!"
Upon seeing this, Gao immediately hugged Cen Dajiang's arm and smiled flatteringly, "I was just thinking, if my parents find out about this, and they ask about it, and it turns out that you agreed to it, then won't they blame you?
"So, I'll just take care of it myself."
She said this thoughtfully.
Although Cen Dajiang might not agree to lend so much money to his brother-in-law, he still felt relieved by her coaxing and didn't care about it.
However, he still said, "Since my parents asked you to bring the money back quickly, then we have to urge your mother's family to do it. Otherwise, our eldest wife's position in this family will be lost."
"I know that, don't worry." Gao responded quickly.
Cen Dajiang nodded, indicating that he would not say any more about this matter.
Gao breathed a sigh of relief.
But at the same time, she had no real intention of getting the money from her brothers from her natal family.
Because she knew that she would never get the money back.
If we refuse to give the money, the people in the Cen family will definitely not agree.
At this time, she would have to send a message to her eldest son, asking him to find a way to coax the two old guys at home and make them agree to not bother about the thirty taels of silver anymore!
While Gao was thinking about this, Yu from the third house was also discussing something with Cen Dahe.
"Shuang'er must not know that Cen Yan wants to cancel the engagement. This girl is very excited right now and insists on marrying Wei Zan. If she finds out about this, she might make a fuss again." Yu instructed her husband.
"But what if she knows about it?" Cen Dajiang was worried. "There are many gossipy people in the family. If someone starts talking about it and she hears it, what should I do?"
"I am also worried, but I have to do as I told Dad. I have to quickly arrange a marriage for Shuang'er!" Yu said gritting her teeth.
"Is this easy to say?" Cen Dajiang looked distressed, thinking that this matter was not simple.
"I will ask my parents to find a similar family far away. When the time comes, if our birth dates and horoscopes match, we will arrange the marriage without Shuang'er's knowledge! Even if she doesn't agree, it will be too late!" A ruthless look appeared on Yu's face.
For her daughter's lifelong happiness, she had to do this!
As for Cen Yan's decision to raise the money to cancel the engagement, she didn't care.
Because she thought Cen Yan couldn't do it at all!
But at this time, in the main room, Cen Ying said with some worry: "Dad, why did you agree to Cen Yan and let her raise the money to cancel the engagement? What if she really got the money, then this marriage really has to be cancelled by her? Mom, you are really stupid, when Dad said that, you didn't even stop me!"
Old man Cen was smoking a water pipe. When he heard this, he just looked at her but didn't say anything.
"Your father has spoken, how dare I stop him?" Old Mrs. Cen said with a smile, and surprisingly there was no trace of annoyance on her face.
"Mom, stop joking. It's not like you haven't gone against Dad before! What are you thinking? Do you have other plans?" Cen Ying looked unconvinced.
"You little devil, you really got it right!" Old Mrs. Cen tapped her daughter's forehead lovingly.
"What is it? Mom, don't keep me in suspense. Tell me quickly!" Cen Ying shook her arm and urged.
"Haha, it's actually very simple. You should know that according to the rules of our Cen family, each branch is not allowed to hide private money. If Cen Yan wants to cancel the engagement, the amount of silver is not small. Do you think she can really cancel it? As long as she dares to take out this fifty-five taels of silver, I will immediately use the rules of the Cen family to take the silver into the public treasury, so that she will have no money to cancel the engagement!" Old Mrs. Cen was confident and her abacus was clacking.
"Mom! Your idea is really great!" Cen Ying thought about it carefully and felt that it was perfect!
"Of course. As long as the second branch stays in Old Cen's house for one day, no matter how much trouble they make, they can't escape your mother's control!" Old Mrs. Cen looked complacent.
"Then mother, when you get the silver, you must leave me some as dowry!" Cen Ying leaned on Old Lady Cen's shoulder and said coquettishly.
"Don't worry, your mother knows the amount of your dowry."
Old Lady Cen patted her shoulder soothingly, then frowned, with a hint of viciousness in her eyes, "This girl is only worthy of marrying a family like Wei Zan in this life. She wants to cancel the engagement smoothly? No way!"
At this time, when Cen Yan and Li had packed up everything at home and returned to the second house, they did not know that they had been plotted against.
However, Cen Yan already had a rough idea of what each branch of the old Cen family was thinking.
Taking advantage of Cen Dahai's unexpected performance tonight, she once again brought up the issue of separation.
"Dad, if you want me to cancel the engagement smoothly, this time, our second branch must be separated from the old Cen family first. Otherwise, I will definitely not be able to cancel this marriage." Cen Yan said, observing the changes in Cen Dahai's expression.
Seeing that he was still frowning and hesitating, she suddenly felt uncomfortable again.
