Jiang Yu was a little stunned when he heard the conditions proposed by Song Peikong.
In fact, before coming here, she had anticipated that the Su family might propose to cancel the engagement.
Chemotherapy is extremely harmful to the human body. Even if Yun Huan eventually defeats the disease, her body will collapse. Even if she can get pregnant in the future, the baby she gives birth to may not be healthy.
If it were her, she would not let such a daughter-in-law into the house.
But even though he knew the hope was slim, Jiang Yu still wanted to fight for his younger daughter.
She looked at the silent old man Su with a sad expression, "Old man, the engagement was made by you and my father-in-law. Before he passed away, he was still obsessed with this marriage and regretted that he could not see his granddaughter get married. If I agree to cancel the engagement today, my father-in-law may not be able to rest in peace in his grave. I really can't make this decision."
Seeing that Jiang Yu was still clinging to his son and refused to let go, Song Peirong's sympathy and pity disappeared instantly.
"You only want to fulfill Mr. Yun's last wish. What about Ming'an? The Su family has been a single-line family for three generations, and Ming'an is the only one. Do you, the Yun family, want our Su family to be extinct?!"
Jiang Yu was speechless.
At this time, Mr. Su interrupted the two people's argument and said, "Let's talk about canceling the engagement later. The most urgent thing is to save people."
Just two simple sentences made the situation of the Su and Yun families clear.
The engagement must be cancelled, but not now. After all, the Su family still has to save face and cannot be criticized for being ungrateful.
Letting Ming'an go to the hospital to accompany Yun Huan is a life-saving move. Mr. Su was saved by Mr. Yun in the past, so this can be considered as offsetting the two.
So, old ginger is still spicy.
Now that the engagement has been called off, don't give anyone any reason to gossip about you.
Under the arrangement of Mr. Su, Su Mingan went to the hospital to visit Yun Huan that afternoon.
"Brother Ming'an..."
The moment Yun Huan saw Su Mingan appear in the ward, she burst into tears and wanted to throw herself into his arms.
In stark contrast to Yun Huan's excitement and joy, Su Ming'an instinctively felt disgusted and resisted when he saw Yun Huan, who was so weak and haggard that he looked like a nobody.
He didn't even want to get close, let alone hug Yun Huan.
What if the disease is passed on to him? Song Peirong could see her son's dislike and quickly stepped forward to hug Yun Huan, which helped her son out of the predicament.
"Xiao Huan, you're not feeling well, lie down quickly."
Having said that, he helped Yun Huan back to the bed without further ado.
Yun Huan really liked Su Mingan. She stared at Su Mingan and couldn't move her eyes away. Her tone was aggrieved and coquettish. "Brother Mingan, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Thinking of Song Peirong's instructions before coming here, Su Ming'an cheered up and said, "Xiao Huan, you must cooperate with the treatment. When you recover, I will take you to my school to play."
"Really?"
"Well, so you must treat your illness and take your medicine."
As long as you recover from your illness, I can cancel the engagement.
One has to sigh that the power of love is still very strong. After getting Su Ming'an's promise that he would come to the hospital to visit her every day, Yun Huan was finally willing to cooperate with the treatment. Even her appetite improved a lot. She ate a whole bowl of shepherd's purse wontons that night.
In the evening, Yun Shixian was so angry that he almost hit his wife when he learned that his wife had secretly gone to the Su family without telling him and had agreed to the Su family's conditions for breaking off the engagement.
"Idiot! Who told you to go to the Su family?"
Jiang Yu felt very aggrieved. "Xiao Huan is refusing to eat, drink or take medicine now. Are we going to watch her die?"
"Even if the person is really dead, this engagement cannot be cancelled."
"Xiao Huan is not the only daughter in the Yun family!"
Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, then looked at her husband in disbelief, "Do you want Xiaoyao to replace Xiaohuan?"
The younger daughter wasn't dead yet, but her husband couldn't wait to replace the younger daughter with the older daughter. Jiang Yu was angry and heartbroken.
"Yun Shixian, you have a good plan, but how can the Su family let you have the final say?"
"Whether it is up to me or not is my business. If you dare to act behind my back again, I will not forgive you!"
Yun Shixian was of course aware that the Su family would not let him have the final say, but as long as he did not give in, the Su family would have to come up with corresponding conditions and bargaining chips if they wanted to cancel the engagement.
But now, his wife couldn't hold back her temper and took the initiative to find the Su family, disrupting all his plans. How could he not be angry?

Saturday came in the blink of an eye.
In addition to Ling Jiang and Ling Chunhua, father and daughter, Yun Mo also asked Ling Chuan to invite the three members of the Deng family to the courtyard for dinner.
Feng Cuihua has performed very well since she started working. In just a few days, she has served four clients and sold insurance policies worth 60 yuan. Everyone gets together for a meal on weekends, which not only helps to keep in touch, but also serves as a reward for Feng Cuihua.
It is late autumn and the weather is getting colder day by day. Yun Mo plans to treat everyone to a nourishing and delicious sour radish and duck soup pot.
The old ducks were local ducks that Lingchuan had bought from the countryside in advance and had been raised for more than a year. There were two of them, with a gross weight of 15 kilograms and an estimated net meat weight of no less than 10 kilograms, more than enough for eight people.
After breakfast, Lingchuan began to sharpen the knife and boil water in preparation for killing the duck.
Perhaps they sensed the murderous aura from the male owner, Dabai and Erbai squatted quietly at the door of the cabin. They didn't even make a sound even when Daguai and Erguai rode on them to make trouble. Their black eyes stared straight at the knife in Lingchuan's hand.
“Ga ga ga…”
With a few calls, the two ducks were drained of blood one after another and slowly became motionless.
Seeing this scene, Daguai and Erguai didn't dare to play around anymore. They went back to the dog cage obediently, squatting and watching the male owner scalding and plucking the two big fat ducks.
The slaughtered duck is chopped into small pieces and blanched in water with cooking wine and ginger slices to remove the fishy smell and blood foam. It is then put into a large iron pot and added with water, pickled radish, ginger, pepper, star anise, and cinnamon. Bring to a boil over high heat and then simmer over low heat.
At around 11 o'clock, Ling Jiang brought Ling Chunhua to the courtyard.
"Aunt!"
As soon as she entered the door, Ling Chunhua happily ran towards Yun Mo's room. After running a few steps, she was frightened by the "woof woof" of Daguai and Erguai and stepped back repeatedly.
Ling Jiang smiled and patted his daughter's back, "Don't be afraid, they are tied up and can't bite you."
Looking at the two almost identical Husky puppies in front of the dog cage, Ling Chunhua felt both curious and scared.
"Big good boy, second good boy!"
Hearing Yun Mo's gentle shout, Daguai and Erguai quieted down, tilted their heads, and stared at Ling Chunhua with their two pairs of distinct black and white eyes.
Seeing that they were obedient, Yun Mo waved to Ling Chunhua, "Chunhua, come here."
"Aunt."
Ling Chunhua ran up happily, hugged Yun Mo's legs, and her raised little face was full of admiration and dependence.
