Zheng Xinyi refused to change her clothes, and the Zheng family was extremely anxious. Cuihua tried both soft and hard tactics, but the child refused to change, which made Zheng Shaochun very angry.
Yingzi, who was sitting in the lobby watching the excitement, glanced at the already bright sky and said, "That's not right! Shouldn't the bride's party be arriving by this hour? Why is there no movement from the old Cheng family?"
Her words reminded everyone. Zheng Shaoyun stood up and looked towards the entrance of the yard. There was no one in sight: "Brother, is there something wrong with the old Cheng family?"
Zheng Shaochun widened his eyes, took a few deep puffs of his pipe, and turned around abruptly: "Xinwei, go to Old Cheng's house and see what's going on?"
Zheng Xinwei, who was doing farm work in the yard, paused for a moment and said, "Dad, Xinyi didn't want to get married in the first place. Now that the Cheng family isn't coming to pick her up, it proves that they might have heard something. If that's the case, then let's not force this marriage anymore. Forget it!"
"What are you talking about?" Zheng Shaochun was angry.
"They're coming! Someone from the Cheng family is here." Zheng Shaodong, who had been guarding the entrance to the yard, saw a large group of people coming and quickly turned around to report to Zheng Shaochun, who was still scolding Zheng Xinwei.
"Here they are?" Zheng Shaochun felt much more relieved.
All five members of the Cheng family had arrived. When Zheng Shaochun saw Cheng Haoyu, covered in wounds and supported by Cheng Haoting and Cheng Haoyang, he was stunned: "Brother Cheng, what happened?"
Cheng Dayu felt very embarrassed and lowered his head: "Brother Zheng, I'm really sorry. I don't know what's wrong with this child. He said he wanted to cancel the engagement since last night. I really have no choice."
"Kid, you are a soldier. How can you go back on your word just like that?" Zheng Shaochun said, pointing his pipe at his chest.
"Uncle, I'm sorry." Cheng Dayu apologized sincerely.
Adam Cheng was so angry that he smashed the pipe in his hand hard on his forehead, and his forehead became clear immediately.
"Son." Zhang Fengrong looked at his bruised forehead distressedly, then turned and pointed at Zheng Shaochun: "Why did you hit my son?"
"Shut up." Before Zheng Shaochun could say anything, Cheng Dayu got angry first.
His shout startled the neighbors, who all came out to watch, not caring about whether they were embarrassed or not. Cheng Haoting stepped forward, looked around, and asked in a questioning tone: "Where is Sister Xinyi?"
"What are you doing?" Zheng Shaochun asked when he saw that he looked like he was ready to fight.
"I want to ask what Xinyi said to my brother last night? They were fine during the day, so why did my brother insist on breaking off the engagement after they met at night?" Cheng Haoting's question made Zheng Shaochun lose confidence.
"Son, tell me the truth, what is going on?" Zhang Fengrong felt that there was something fishy going on.
"Mom, don't listen to Haoting's nonsense. It was entirely my idea to break off the engagement." Cheng Haoyu said seriously.
Zheng Xinwei suddenly looked up and cast an admiring gaze at Cheng Haoyu, who was covered in wounds. He was really a man. Even at this point, he still protected his sister.
"You can cancel the engagement, but you have to give our Zheng family 200 yuan as an apology." Li Fen rushed out of the house and said angrily.
Two hundred yuan was not a small amount of money in that era. It was enough to cover the living expenses of a small family for several months!
Cheng Dayu and Zhang Fengrong exchanged a glance, and then Zhang Fengrong squinted at Li Fen: "Two hundred yuan? You're so bold! How can your Zheng Xinyi be worth that price?"
"What did you say?" Zheng Shaochun pointed at her and was about to get angry when he heard Cheng Haoyu speak from the side.
"Mom, uncle, stop arguing. We'll give you two hundred yuan." Chen Haoyu said seriously.
Zhang Fengrong's eyes widened, and he nudged him gently: "Son, where are you going to get two hundred yuan?"
