Chapter 94 Bastard! You dare to cancel the engagement?!

"Is Zhang Kang going to call the Zhang family to cause trouble?" Pingping's mother felt that this boy had clearly left, but came back so soon, which must be up to no good.

Pingping's father was also uneasy in his heart. He looked at his father-in-law Wang Dongsheng and said, "Dongsheng, your son-in-law is not bad. Even if Zhang Kang wants to make trouble, he can't do anything fancy, right?"

As Wang Zonghao followed his sister into the inner room, there were only three of them left in the main room.

Wang Dongsheng's forehead was full of wrinkles from worry. He turned around to look at his children in the inner room and said, "I'll go out and take a look."

Seeing Wang Dongsheng get up and go out, as if to eavesdrop on the two men's secret plan outside, Pingping's mother leaned back in her chair comfortably, and murmured, "It's good for a daughter to marry close to home! In the future, when Pingping is at home, we can come over anytime..."

It seemed as if the marriage between the two families was set in stone and there would be no further changes.

Pingping's father said nothing and just smoked silently.

He knew that Pingping and Wang Zonghao's marriage had not been finalized because the Wang family had not yet gone to the Zhu family to cancel the engagement.

I was afraid that at this time, Miss Zhu Yan would suddenly come.

When Chen Pingping saw Zhang Kang suddenly appear, she panicked and hid in Wang Zonghao's room.

At this moment, Wang Ziru could be heard calling Zong Hao in and whispering something to him in the next room.

Chen Pingping lay behind the door and tried to listen but couldn't hear clearly.

All I heard was Wang Zonghao saying in shock: "Sister, what kind of crazy idea is this?"

"Just listen to me, you won't go wrong! Then ..."

The brother and sister huddled together and whispered to each other again.

Chen Pingping still didn't hear clearly what bad advice Wang Ziru gave to Wang Zonghao later.

The brother and sister quickly came out of the next room, one after the other. Chen Pingping hid behind the door and only saw Wang Zonghao with his head down, a sly smile on his face, rubbing his nose embarrassedly.

"What makes Zonghao so happy?" Chen Pingping understood. She and Wang Zonghao had just reconciled, so it was not appropriate to pull Wang Zonghao aside to find out the truth.

The brother and sister reappeared in the main room.

Wang Ziru looked outside the yard and the man hadn't come in yet.

Are they really discussing how to deal with Zonghao?

"Baoer! Go outside and see what Daddy is doing..."

Baoer was running back and forth between the living room and the kitchen with his little windmill in his hand. His cousin Zhuzi had gone to school, and there were no children at home to accompany him, so he had to play by himself.

After receiving his mother's order, the little guy nodded obediently and ran out to find his father.

"Dad! Why are you and Uncle Zhang standing outside talking? Mom is asking what you are doing." Baoer ran out and rushed to his father and said.

"Dad will be in soon." Zhai Ximo lowered his head and looked at the child tenderly.

Zhang Kang's face turned blue and red with anger, and his teeth were clattering. "What a shame! I underestimated that bastard Wang Zonghao before. He quietly tried to undermine me. I was about to get married! But compared to your brother-in-law, he is still too young."

He knew that Wang Ziru had deliberately instigated the child to come out to get information, so he patted Zhai Ximo on the shoulder and said, "I'm talking to you!"

"Okay, let's meet in town later this afternoon. I hope my judgment is right." Zhai Ximo said while gently stroking his son's little face.

The two old comrades continued to talk for a few more words. Finally, Zhai Ximo thought for a moment and said, "In half a month, the army should have a response and approved your marriage application. You should hurry up."

Zhang Kang's fat face wrinkled, and he waved his hand irritably and left.

What's the point of getting married when the bride has been pried open by someone?

However, the method Zhai Ximo mentioned can be tried. Maybe Zhu Yan will be interested in him.

At noon at the Wang family's house, there were several dishes on the table.

When Wang Ziru returned to her parents' home, she cut a piece of bacon given by Secretary Tang with a kitchen knife and brought it back to her parents' home for her family to taste.

She stir-fried wild dried bamboo shoots and bacon, and sprinkled in simple seasonings of ginger and garlic. The dish turned out to be fragrant, with the fresh aroma of bamboo shoots and the pungent flavor of bacon.

The Wang family usually has a lot of dried small fish, which can be stir-fried with garlic sprouts and is also a good dish to go with wine.

There is also fish with meat so thick that it looks like fish maw, and braised kelp shreds.

This table of home-cooked meals is quite respectable as a treat for the in-laws.

"Pingping's mom, you guys should eat together. We didn't prepare anything in advance. These are the only dishes we have at home..." Lin Xiuying said modestly as she brought out a pot of scallion soup.

"There's also bacon?! What a great thing! It's nice to have it." Pingping's mother saw the tempting bacon slices fried on the table, and excitedly picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and put it into her mouth.

Lin Xiuying explained with a smile, "The bacon was brought back by the daughter of a noble family. She said it was given to her by Secretary Tang of the commune."

"Really? Ziru, you two are doing fine. The secretary of the commune even sends you food."

While Pingping's mother was eating meat with big mouthfuls, she didn't forget to praise Wang Ziru and Zhai Ximo.

Wang Ziru smiled faintly and didn't say anything. She urged her elder brother and Zhai Ximo to eat quickly, "After dinner, you can go to the Zhu family to cancel the engagement. I was thinking that since Zong Hao didn't go in person, should he write a letter to explain it?"

She looked at her brother Zonghao.

Wang Zonghao and Chen Pingping were sitting on a high bench, being very sweet to each other. Wang Zonghao even put some bacon in Pingping's bowl.

But when she heard her sister say that she had to write a letter to Zhu Yan to explain, she immediately burst into tears and said, "Why write a letter when the engagement has been cancelled?"

"That is, explain why you broke off the engagement."

"Well... okay, I'll go find Zhuzi's notebook."

Wang Zonghao glanced at Chen Pingping and saw that she did not object, so he simply put down his bowl and chopsticks, got up and went to his eldest nephew's room, found a copy of Zhuzi's unfinished grid homework book, tore off a page, and wrote a letter crookedly with a half-broken pencil.

After writing the letter, he read it twice, folded it up, took it out and handed it to his brother, "Brother! Take it with you, and don't open it while you are on the road."

Wang Zongming glanced at the page of grid paper his brother had folded up, then took it and looked at it. "Who is interested in reading your messy writing? You haven't even finished junior high school for a few days. If you don't mind being embarrassed, I'll take it to Zhu Yan."

"You only know how to talk about others, but you yourself are completely ignorant."

Wang Zonghao returned to Chen Pingping with a smile and sat down to eat.

In fact, Chen Pingping really wanted to take a look.

But the adults from both families were sitting in the main room eating, and she couldn't find an excuse, so she had to give up the idea.

After lunch, Wang Zongming took Zhai Ximo to Zhu's house.

Since the Zhu family lived on the other side of the town, Wang Ziru didn't want to stay at her parents' home any longer, so she took her children and went back with them.

When she arrived in town, she went home alone, carrying her child on her back.

After parting from the town, the two men walked along the road leading to the mountains for half an hour and arrived at Zhu Yan's house.

Zhu Yan was carrying a bamboo basket and holding a sickle in her hand, and was collecting grass for pigs on the edge of the field next to her house.

Suddenly seeing someone from the Wang family coming, it was none other than Zhu family's son-in-law Wang Zonghao. Zhu Yan's heart immediately skipped a beat, and an ominous thought popped up in her mind, "Brother! Brother-in-law, are you two just passing by or did you come to our house on purpose?"

Seeing his future sister-in-law, Wang Zongming felt very sorry and said shyly: "We came to your house specifically to discuss something. Are your parents home?"

"What do you want to say?"

Zhu Yan's face turned pale and she hurriedly led the two guests back home.

Then she went to the fields to call her parents home.

The Zhu couple were working in the fields. When they heard that their son-in-law Wang Zonghao's brother and brother-in-law were coming home, they almost couldn't breathe.

He hurriedly carried the hoe home.

After entering the courtyard, Zhu's father threw the hoe directly under the eaves and walked into the main room.

"Hey, Zong Ming, why are you two here suddenly?"

Zhu's mother also felt that the visitor from the Wang family didn't seem to be saying anything good!

However, their two families just discussed the wedding of a couple yesterday, so what are they doing today?

Wang Zongming and Zhai Ximo sat in the main room, drinking tea quietly. The room was clean and tidy, and the finished dowry furniture was neatly placed in the room, waiting only to be painted before being taken to her husband's house.

Seeing the Zhu couple rushing into the house one after the other, Wang Zongming stood up from his chair and said, "Uncle, Aunt, I'm so sorry to come to our house so suddenly..."

"Where's Zong Hao? Why didn't he come?" Although she was worried and it seemed like something big was about to happen, Zhu's mother looked very calm and asked as soon as she entered the house.

Wang Zongming had never done such an immoral thing as breaking off an engagement. Not only did he have no experience, but he was also so nervous that his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

He looked at his brother-in-law, "Ximo, go ahead."

"Well," Zhai Ximo took a sip of hot tea, swallowed it slowly, and met the gazes of the three members of the Zhu family, "Brother, take out the letter and give it to Zhu Yan."

"Oh! I almost forgot."

Wang Zongming's hands were shaking violently. He searched in several pockets of his body for a while, and finally took out a letter from his trouser pocket. "Hey, Zhu Yan, this is a letter written to you by Zong Hao."

"What letter did Zong Hao write to Zhu Yan? Didn't they just meet yesterday?" Zhu's mother was even more confused.

Zhai Ximo took the letter, stood up, walked to Zhu Yan, and put it in her hand. "Take it inside and read it."

Perhaps it was a woman's sixth sense. Zhu Yan held the letter in her hand and asked tremblingly, "Does Zong Hao want to cancel the engagement?"

"Yes! We came to the Zhu family specifically for this matter..." Zhai Ximo turned around and sat back in his chair.

"What did you say? Wang Zonghao wants to cancel the engagement? Why did he cancel the engagement suddenly? Our two families had already discussed the wedding date yesterday. The dowry is ready, and he doesn't even want a gift money! What did he say? Cancel the engagement?!" Father Zhu was furious and anxious. He stood up from the bench and roared.
