Father Su patted the Zhang family's gate, his expression very serious. After the Su family's old house, this was the second place he found repulsive.
"Who is it?" came Zhang Weibing's mother's voice from inside the door. She opened the door and saw the Su family of three. A hint of panic and guilt flashed in her eyes.
Nephew Su, is there...is something wrong? Or do you want to discuss the day Old Zhang and I went to propose marriage and get engaged?
"Aunt Zhang, we've come today to settle some scores with you. I don't know what our family did to offend the Zhang family. Why would the Zhang family do this to harm my daughter?" Father Su said slowly and coldly, looking at Zhang Weibing's mother.
Nephew Su, what do you mean? I don't understand. What accounts do you want with me? And how did we harm your daughter? We were just here to propose marriage.
Aunt Zhang, since you prefer to play dumb, I have no choice but to be blunt. You've been spreading rumors that my daughter Ranran is engaged to your son. I want to ask you, when did our family become engaged to yours? Why is it that our family doesn't know when we arranged a marriage for our daughter?
Because Su's father's voice was rather loud, it attracted the attention of the Zhang family's neighbors, and soon a few people gathered at their door. Su's father remembered what Su Xingran had said: to attract as much attention as possible, so that the matter would escalate. And if it escalated, the outcome of the standoff would spread.
Seeing people gathered at the door, Zhang Weibing's mother was a little worried and scared. This matter was going to escalate and be bad for their family, since the engagement never actually existed. "Nephew Su, let's go inside and talk."
Aunt Zhang, there's no need to come inside. Let's talk things out right here at the door. There's no need to hide anything. Let's speak frankly and clarify this matter.
But...nephew of the Su family, if this matter gets out of hand, it won't be good for your daughter's reputation. Our Weibing is a boy, so it's fine, but since your daughter is a girl, this will damage her reputation.
These words carried a somewhat threatening tone. Fortunately, Su Xingran had already told her parents what the Zhang family would say beforehand. Unexpectedly, Su Xingran's prediction came true.
Aunt Zhang, my daughter Ranran is upright and honest, and she has nothing to fear regarding her reputation. Besides, she hasn't done anything to damage her reputation. Our daughter doesn't need you to worry about her.
Let's talk about why you went around telling others that our families were engaged. What was your purpose in doing that?
Despite Su's father's relentless questioning, Zhang Weibing's mother remained stubborn and refused to admit anything. "I didn't say any of these things; you can't wrongly accuse me."
"Nephew Su, what are you doing? You've brought people to block my door." Zhang's father came out of the house. He had already heard Su's father coming to question him. He wanted to wait for his aunt to handle it, so he didn't show himself, but Su's father kept pressing him, pushing his wife to the point where she couldn't handle it anymore, so he had no choice but to come out.
Su's father also expressed his disdain and contempt. He thought, "What kind of man hides inside while his wife stands outside? It's impossible for the people inside not to hear such loud noises outside; he must be deliberately hiding."
Uncle Zhang, we call you Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang, but do you deserve to be called Uncle and Aunt?
