Chapter 99 Heartbeat

This was the first time that the villagers of Longwang Village witnessed the "good tricks" of this girl Zhu Yan!

Everyone was stunned!

Wang Dongsheng and his son Wang Zongming had never heard of this before, but the woman went to the man's house and loudly announced that she wanted to cancel the engagement?

After a while, Wang Zonghao realized what was going on.

"No, Zhu Yan, what do you want? Yesterday, my brother and my brother-in-law went to your Zhu family to cancel the engagement. What are you doing here at the Wang family today? Do you want to humiliate me, Wang Zonghao?"

Zhu Yan sneered, "Did you break off the engagement? Who saw it?"

"No! My brother and my brother-in-law, two men of that age, went to your Zhu family. Can't you see it?"

Now that both parties have fallen out, Wang Zonghao takes back all the kindness he had shown to Zhu Yan in the past.

In front of all the men, women, and children in the village, he roared at Zhu Yan with a pale face.

Seeing this, Wang Dongsheng looked worried, but he stepped out from under the eaves to help.

"Zhu Yan, things have come to this, let's not make things awkward, okay?"

Zhu Yan glanced at Wang Dongsheng calmly and said, "Now, Wang Zonghao and I have made things clear. I don't like him, so I'm breaking off the engagement. All of you in the village can be witnesses."

"No, are you very capable? You still don't like me? Did I make you like me?" Wang Zonghao pointed at Zhu Yan shamelessly, holding back a nameless fire in his heart, waving his claws impatiently, "Go away! Don't come to our Wang family and embarrass yourself in the future."

"I was standing on the road to Longwang Village and did not enter your Wang family's yard. Now that the engagement has been cancelled, it's time to deal with these dirty things that are an eyesore..."

Zhu Yan didn't show the slightest bit of tension on her face. She slowly squatted down and poured out all the clothes that she had carried in the basket.

Mixed with the pile of clothes that Wang Zonghao brought out.

Just when everyone was craning their necks, anxious to know what the girl from the Zhu family was trying to do.

Zhu Yan took out a pair of sharp sewing scissors from the basket on her back.

Everyone gasped when they saw a pair of scissors suddenly appear in the girl's hand.

They all couldn't help but take a few steps back.

But Zhu Yan did not mean to fight Wang Zonghao to death with the scissors.

She held a pair of scissors in her right hand and picked up a piece of clothing with her left hand. Her hands seemed to be filled with wind as she picked up the scissors and cut the clothes in front of her one by one, opening and closing them vigorously.

Wang Zonghao's face gradually turned pale. He didn't expect that this damn girl would be so hateful.

She even went to the gate of the Wang family and, in front of the whole village, she tore up and cut up the clothes that they had given each other as gifts.

The villagers who were watching were all so shocked by Zhu Yan's series of actions that they didn't know whether to breathe or laugh.

No one would have thought that the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, who used to look shy and taciturn, would be so powerful when she broke off the engagement.

"Zhu Yan! There's no need to humiliate me, Wang Zonghao, like this. Since we are not destined to be together, why do you have to be so heartless?" Wang Zonghao felt his face swollen. He didn't expect to be insulted by Zhu Yan like this.

"Am I being heartless and ungrateful?" Zhu Yan was amused by Wang Zonghao's words, and her face suddenly darkened. "Compared to the sneaky things you did, my actions are nothing. Since you mentioned breaking off the engagement, you should have thought about this day."

The villagers outside the Wang family's yard almost lost their voices and held their breath.

This made Chen Pingping, who was staying at home, extremely anxious.

After hearing Wang Zonghao and Zhu Yan arguing, she couldn't help herself and ran out of the house.

Who would have thought that at this moment, Zhu Yan picked up the backpack and walked out of the Wang family's yard without looking back, amid the villagers' astonished looks.

After taking a few steps, he bumped into Chen Pingping head-on.

"..." Chen Pingping originally just planned to come over, blend in with the crowd, and watch from a distance to see what was happening.

I didn't expect to run into Zhu Yan face to face.

Chen Pingping knew she was in the wrong and her cheeks turned red. She didn't know whether she should say hello to Zhu Yan.

The sudden reconciliation between her and Wang Zonghao irritated Zhu Yan, and she didn't know what to say to make her not hate them so much.

But Zhu Yan just glanced at Chen Pingping coldly. Although she was furious, she was glad that she and Wang Zonghao had not yet married. If they had married, she would have found out that Chen Pingping had stolen her man...

No matter what, she will not let Chen Pingping, the vixen, go.

Wang Zonghao was so angry that he rushed out of the yard and was about to curse Zhu Yan when he saw the deserted road with only two women standing in the middle of the road, and it seemed that neither of them had any intention of giving in.

"Ping Ping!"

Wang Zonghao rushed over, pulled Chen Pingping directly into Chen's house, and slammed the door shut.

"..." Zhu Yan strode towards the village entrance, despite the strange looks from the villagers behind her.

The girl, who had just come out of Longwang Village and was wiping her tears as she walked, suddenly heard someone calling her name from the front.

"Zhu Yan! It's really you."

Wang Ziru and her family returned to Longwang Village. When they were almost at the entrance of the village, they ran into her ex-sister-in-law, who was carrying a backpack and wiping her tears as she walked.

Zhai Jiahao also followed them to Longwang Village to discuss dowry. He saw a girl coming out of the village, still wiping her tears. It was obvious that she had suffered a great injustice. He asked curiously, "Third brother, whose girl is this?"

"Keep your voice down! She was Zong Hao's ex-girlfriend, and we just went to her house yesterday to break off the engagement." Zhai Ximo tilted his head and spoke in a low voice.

"Cancel the engagement?! Didn't you say your brother-in-law is getting married? Then I..."

What Zhai Jiahao cares about is whether he has any carpentry work to do. Although he finds the marriage of his third brother-in-law strange, he is not as interested in it as he is in making money.

Seeing his wife quickly walk up to greet Zhu Yan, Zhai Ximo whispered to his second brother what was going on.

After listening to his third brother's explanation, Zhai Jiahao was shocked and sneered, "Haha! I didn't realize that your brother-in-law is so capable!"

"Stop talking!"

In front, next to the village road.

"Are you going to Wang's house to look for Zong Hao?"

Zhu Yan's eyes were red, and she nodded shyly, "Yeah."

"Have you explained everything clearly?" Wang Ziru didn't know what was going on. She felt a sense of familiarity with Zhu Yan from the first sight. The girl didn't do anything wrong, so she couldn't help feeling sad about being suddenly broken off. Seeing someone from the Wang family again so soon, she definitely wouldn't be in a good mood.

"Let me make it clear. I cut up all the clothes I bought before..."

"Ah? You mean, you came to see Zonghao today just to cut up the clothes he bought for you in front of him?" Wang Ziru was full of surprise, but soon she burst into laughter, "Hahaha... Wang Zonghao must be crazy!"

"Sister Ziru, you, you don't blame me?"

"Why do you blame me? It was Zong Hao's fault to cancel the engagement. I wanted to teach that bastard a lesson for you, but he told me that he still couldn't let go of Chen Pingping. What can I say? Matters like marriage are controlled by God."

Zhu Yan suppressed the humiliation in her heart and said, "I don't care who cares about my marriage! If I don't get rid of this anger, I will get sick."

"But I didn't do anything wrong. Why do I have to be alone and sulky?"

"Yes! Do you feel better now that you've let it out?"

Zhu Yan blushed and nodded, "I hope Sister Ziru won't blame me."

The girl did not get angry at others. After realizing this, Wang Ziru had some new ideas in her mind.

She had just eaten the rice cakes that Zhang Kang bought in town. Although it wasn't a big deal, it happened to help her deal with the second brother and his wife, and she felt relieved.

By the way, help that idiot Zhang Kang.

After a moment of hesitation, Wang Ziru smiled warmly and said, "No, it just so happens that Zhai Ximo, your comrade, is interested in you. You should think about it carefully."

"Sister Ziru, in the short term, I, I don't want to consider Zhang Kang or anyone else proposing marriage..."

"If you want to get out of this shadow as soon as possible, marry Zhang Kang, join the army with him, and live a different life. I think this is the best arrangement for you."

"Really? Then, Sister Ziru, will you also join the army?" Zhu Yan was successfully brainwashed by Wang Ziru, and a strange light glowed in her eyes.

She dreamed of escaping from this place so that she wouldn't have to hear people stabbing her in the back.

Zhai Ximo was quite surprised. No matter how hard he tried to persuade Zhu Yan yesterday, she didn't listen to a word he said.

Why am I so moved by my wife's words today?

He walked over quickly and said with a smile: "Zhang Kang said that he would invite a matchmaker to your house this afternoon. Zi Ru is right, Zhang Kang is indeed a good man. At least he will not do anything out of line. After all, we are all soldiers and have an organization..."

The couple went into battle together, and Zhu Yan's expression gradually changed. After a short while, she turned back into a shy girl.

"Go back quickly! Maybe you can meet him in the town. Zhang Kang is also in the town!" Wang Ziru saw that things were taking a turn for the better and wanted to help Wang Zonghao clean up the mess, so she pushed Zhu Yan and told her to leave quickly.

Zhu Yan was not an ungrateful girl. She understood that Wang Ziru was good to her, so she introduced Zhang Kang to her. After thanking Wang Ziru, she lowered her head and hurried back to the town.

Seeing Zhu Yan's back disappearing around the corner of the road, Zhai Jiahao couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"This kid Wang Zonghao is now completely famous!"

"Stop laughing. When you meet the Chen family later, you should discuss with them what the dowry will be." Zhai Ximo said in a cold voice.

Holding Bao'er's hand, he entered the village and headed straight for Wang's house.

They met many villagers along the way. When the villagers saw Wang's son-in-law and his family coming, some of them covered their faces and laughed secretly and walked away.

When they reached the gate of Wang's courtyard, most of the villagers had dispersed.

There were also a few idle men standing at the gate of the Wang family's courtyard with their hands folded, watching Wang Dongsheng and Wang Zongming pick up the tattered clothes at the gate.

"Grandpa! What are you doing?" Baoer didn't know why Grandpa and uncle were doing laundry outside in the yard, so he ran over with his short legs and asked curiously.

Wang Dongsheng looked up and saw his daughter and son-in-law coming back.

The son-in-law's second brother also came over, forcing a smile and hurriedly called Wang Zonghao out, "Zonghao! Your brother Hao is here, go call Pingping's parents over to discuss the dowry."

"oh."

Wang Zonghao went to Zhai's house the day before yesterday and had a few words with Zhai Jiahao.

Wang Zonghao felt a little guilty about meeting each other again so soon, especially since he was laughed at by the whole village just now.

"Brother Jiahao, please go inside and have some tea first."

When Zhai Jiahao saw his brother-in-law, he puffed up his cheeks and tried hard to hold back his laughter. He pointed at the pile of tattered clothes at the gate and said, "Oh! Your Wang family has such an easy life. You don't even want such good clothes. It's such a pity to tear them up."

"Second brother!" Zhai Ximo walked to the door of the stone house with a tall figure. Knowing that his second brother was deliberately ridiculing his brother-in-law, he turned around and said unhappily, "Come in and have some tea."

Wang Zonghao's face turned blue and red as he watched the two Zhai brothers enter the stone house.

He quickly pulled his sister aside and asked in a low voice, "Sister! Did you run into Zhu Yan at the entrance of the village just now? You didn't say hello to her, did you?"
