Chapter 95 No, Can You Have Some Shame?

The Zhu family's main hall was plunged into a chaotic dispute.

The most violent reaction came from the Zhu couple, who spitted from their mouths and clapped their hands on the table.

Zhu's father angrily scolded, "This bastard is really outrageous. The dowry for the marriage has been prepared, and he wants to cancel the engagement now?"

"Isn't this bullying? What's wrong with our Zhu Yan that she is not worthy of this brat from the Wang family?!" Zhu's mother's eyes were blazing with fire, and she slammed the table and pulled up her trouser legs.

This is what most people in the village do when they get angry.

Wang Zongming had also seen this, but faced with such a violent reaction from the Zhu family, he was so frightened that he dropped the enamel pot in his hand onto the small stool next to him.

He stood up quickly, rubbing his hands helplessly, "Uncle, Aunt, I also know that this is our Zonghao's fault, but he..."

"He and Zhu Yan have already set a wedding date! We have also informed our relatives of the wedding date at the end of the year, and the whole village knows that our Zhu family is going to hold a wedding!"

This is great, Wang Zonghao wants to make our Zhu family lose face?

"I'm so sorry, uncle."

Wang Zongming apologized with a generous gift, thinking that it would alleviate the shock and harm suffered by the Zhu family.

But it was of no use.

Zhu's mother was already furious. She jumped up, pointed at Wang Zongming's nose, and spewed countless vicious curses.

It seemed as if Wang Zongming had done something unfair to their daughter.

Zhai Ximo guessed that if the Zhu family knew they were here to break off the engagement, there would be a big fuss, so he sat on a chair and drank tea in silence from the enamel pot.

Only Zhu Yan froze on the spot, forgetting to open the letter in her hand.

Zhu's mother made a fuss for a long time before she noticed her daughter standing there, tears streaming down her face.

Not only did he not feel the slightest bit of sympathy, he jumped over, grabbed Zhu Yan's hair, and hit her head randomly.

"Aunt! It's not Zhu Yan's fault to cancel the engagement. Please don't hurt your own daughter." Zhai Ximo couldn't stand it anymore, so he immediately stood up, grabbed Zhu's mother's wrist and said in a sharp voice.

Zhu's mother was worried that she couldn't find an excuse to vent her anger on him.

Turning around, he pointed at Zhai Ximo and cursed: "Wang Zonghao is relying on you, his brother-in-law, to support him! You two are really good at tricks. You found a job for Wang Zonghao in the county, and then you dumped my daughter in the blink of an eye!"

"You bastard! Do you think only girls from the county town are worthy of him?" Zhu's father roared.

Wang Zongming was also a loyal and honest man. Seeing that the Zhu family was so angry, he quickly explained: "No, no, uncle, you misunderstood. The job that my brother-in-law found through his connections has not been implemented yet."

"Does he think that this is the job he has secured in the county?"

“This, this…”

"I have to go to the Wang family and kill that bastard! Chen Shimei divorced his wife after he became a high-ranking official, but he dared to cancel my Zhu family's marriage proposal before he even went to work in the county!"

"Uncle, listen to me. Our parents don't agree to cancel the engagement! But Zong Hao thinks he still likes Chen Pingping and is determined to cancel the Zhu family's marriage."

Wang Zongming wanted to explain the matter clearly, hoping to gain their understanding.

Who would have thought that when Zhu Yan heard the name 'Chen Pingping', she suddenly came to her senses and her face became even gloomier than before, "What happened to Zong Hao and Chen Pingping?"

"They both decided to get married." Wang Zongming was like a prisoner being interrogated. After he finished speaking, he quickly buried his face and did not dare to even look at Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan felt as if she had been hit on the head with a hammer, and a buzzing sound echoed in her mind.

She didn't care about her own frenzied appearance and said angrily, "Are you saying that Wang Zonghao and Chen Pingping have reconciled?"

Wang Zongming nodded sadly.

"Why? Isn't Chen Pingping also engaged? Is she also going to break off the engagement and marry Wang Zonghao?"

"That's what I mean." Zhai Ximo replied in a cold voice.

The truth has been revealed, and there is no need to hide the fact that my brother-in-law and Chen Pingping have rekindled their old relationship.

It turned out that she was somewhat wary of Chen Pingping's existence, but after two years of engagement, the two sides had been living in peace and Zhu Yan had not thought about it that way.

Unexpectedly, they just discussed the wedding date yesterday, but Wang Zonghao went behind her back and not only had an affair with Chen Pingping, but Chen Pingping was anxious seeing that they were about to get married?

Revealed his true face?!

Zhu Yan's tears flowed even more profusely. Her legs became weak and she almost couldn't stand. She quickly put one hand on the table.

"Is this the real reason why Wang Zonghao broke off the engagement?"

She could never believe it and could not accept this cruel fact.

Now, the Zhu couple knew the real reason for breaking off the engagement, and immediately scolded Chen Pingping, calling her worse than a whore.

"Uncle! Aunt! Calm down." Zhai Ximo scolded.

If you don't stand up now, I'm afraid this matter will not end well.

"We all don't want to see this happen, but since things have come to this, please take a step back. Zhu Yan is still a very good girl, hardworking, kind, and sensible. I believe she will get married soon."

No matter how much the Zhu couple talk, it is meaningless.

What's more, the person arranged by the Wang family to cancel the engagement was a soldier.

They didn't dare to vent their anger on Zhai Ximo.

The couple sat slumped on the bench. After calming down the anger in their chests, Zhu's father saw that his daughter was still holding the letter written by that bastard Wang Zonghao in her hand.

He pulled it over and opened it, "I want to see what the attitude of this bastard Wang Zonghao is!"

The grid-shaped letter paper was opened, and Zhu's father narrowed his eyes and stuttered, "Zhu Yan, I, I'm going to marry Pingping. I hope you don't blame me."

Not finished yet.

Zhu Yan came to her senses completely, turned around and snatched back the humiliating suicide letter. Without even wanting to look at it any more, she tore it into pieces in front of everyone, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it a few times in anger.

"Wang Zonghao, you have guts! Cancel the engagement? Okay, I agree."

Looking back at her parents, the girl said with a firm look, "Dad, Mom, please don't make things difficult for them. This has nothing to do with them."

When Zhai Ximo saw that Zhu Yan was finally willing to stand up and speak for him, he immediately felt that this girl was quite opinionated.

She is not the type to cry or make a fuss when encountering problems. She seems to be more sensible and virtuous than Chen Pingping.

"In that case, uncle, aunt, we have come here to help Zong Hao break off the engagement. Have we made it clear to you two?"

Father Zhu glanced at Zhai Ximo and said, "Ask Wang Zonghao to come to our house in person to apologize and pay compensation! He has delayed my daughter for so many years, and he thinks he can get away with it by asking someone to pass a message to us?"

"Yes! If the Wang family doesn't pay the money this time, we will go to the commune to make trouble." Zhu's mother agreed angrily.

Wang Zongming was terrified, and the Zhu family wanted them to pay compensation!

"Uncle, listen to me. My parents don't agree with it either. They feel sorry for Zhu Yan. Everything was fine at first. Who would have thought..."

"Brother! Sit down and have some tea." Zhai Ximo interrupted his brother-in-law who was trying to absolve his parents of responsibility. If he were to speak up, things would only get worse.

Wang Zongming glanced at his brother-in-law uneasily and sat down carefully.

Zhai Ximo sat upright, his military aura immediately revealed, "Uncle! Here, there is no compensation for breaking off an engagement, unless Zong Hao touched your Zhu Yan. He didn't touch her, right?"

Zhu Yan's face flushed instantly, and she bit her lip, "Stop talking."

"Go away, I accept the cancellation of the engagement, but please don't insult me! I may not be as pretty as Chen Pingping, but I am a person with dignity, and I will get married in the future..." Zhu Yanhun's body was stiff and cold, and he rudely ordered them to leave.

Mr. Zhu was so angry that he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

He just waved his hand, signaling them to get out of the Zhu family quickly.

Their daughter's innocence is more important than anything else. If the news gets out, the villagers will really think that their daughter has slept with Wang Zonghao. Who would dare to marry his daughter in the future?

"Wang Zonghao doesn't like my daughter. He is unlucky." Zhu's father stood up and made a gesture to attack him.

"In that case, let's put an end to Zong Hao's breaking off the engagement." Zhai Ximo was also very understanding and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he still sat on the chair without moving, turned his head and said to his brother-in-law, "Brother, go wait for me outside first."

Wang Zongming looked at his brother-in-law in surprise, wondering what he was going to say to the Zhu family.

I had no choice but to go out awkwardly and wait for my brother-in-law outside.

After watching his brother-in-law leave, Zhai Ximo quietly changed his expression and met the puzzled looks of the three members of the Zhu family. He said slowly, "Now, I want to help my old comrade Zhang Kang propose marriage."

“Cough cough cough…”

Zhu Yan was so shocked by Zhai Ximo's words that she started coughing violently.

"Propose a marriage?"

"What did you say? What kiss?"

The Zhu couple jumped up from their benches in shock and asked in unison.

When Zhai Ximo conveyed the intention of his old comrade-in-arms to marry into the Zhu family, the Zhu couple looked as if a tornado had swept through their faces, and they stared at the guest as if he were a monster.

Afterwards, the couple looked at each other in disbelief.

After a while.

After much thought, the Zhu family finally figured out one thing: Chen Pingping's original partner wanted to marry Zhu Yan.

Isn't this just two pairs of young people changing their partners?

"No, can you please have some shame? You broke off the engagement and now you're trying to harm my daughter again?" Mother Zhu questioned, slamming the table.

If this matter were to be made public, people in the surrounding villages would laugh at them and poke the Zhu family in the back. Zhu Yan herself would definitely not agree to such a ridiculous proposal.

"Brother Zhai, thank you for your kindness, but we don't need the Zhang family's proposal." Zhu Yan's face was determined.

After coming to his senses, he didn't even give Zhang Kang a chance to meet him and refused outright.

Not to mention that she couldn't forget Wang Zonghao in a short time.

Even if she forgot about Wang Zonghao, Zhang Kang was not her type.

Zhai Ximo looked at Zhu Yan deeply and said in a deep voice: "I know this old comrade of mine. He is a very good person! He has a promising future after joining the army for a few years. He will have to go to military school in a year or so. To be rude, Zhang Kang may be promoted to a higher position in the future. By then, Zhu Yan, you really can't reach him."

Zhu Yan: “…”

"Uncle, aunt, you should all think about this carefully. Tomorrow the Zhang family may ask a matchmaker to come to our house to formally propose marriage. No matter what, you should not stop Zhu Yan and give them a chance to meet and get to know each other."

"My wife has always said that Zhu Yan is a good girl, virtuous and sensible. It is her brother who is not so lucky. Soon, I will bring my wife and children back to the army. If Zhu Yan and Zhang Kang get married, they will also go to the army and live in the army family compound. The conditions are not bad. You two sisters can take care of each other. How great is that, right?"

This man, who usually never makes big promises, really gave it his all for the happiness of his old comrade.

After saying this, Zhai Ximo did not give the girl any time, he stood up and said politely: "Uncle, Aunt, it's getting dark, let's go back first."

"Young man! Wait a minute," Zhu's father came to his senses and hurriedly called the guest, "What did you mean just now? Your comrade Zhang Kang wants to propose marriage to our Zhu Yan? In other words, Zhang Kang wants to marry my daughter?"
