They had discussed this matter for a whole day yesterday, and no one benefited from it.
The main fighting force, Mrs. An, was not there, and Fourth Brother An was afraid of the Zhao family and dared not speak.
An Hongdou didn't know what to think, but she stepped forward and said in a very friendly manner, "Aunt, please don't blame my fourth brother. I just wanted to say a few words to Sister Zhao Yun, so I asked my fourth brother to accompany me."
The Zhao family didn't seem to be an unreasonable family. Facing An Hongdou's kind words, Zhao Yun's mother's anger also subsided a little. "You really aren't here to cause trouble? What do you want with our Xiaoyun? Don't even think about bullying my daughter. We won't agree to it."
An Hongdou was still polite. "I was thinking that there might be some misunderstanding about what happened yesterday, so I wanted my fourth brother to come to Sister Zhao Yun to make things clear. We are getting married soon, and it is not good for us to remain in this stalemate. Auntie loves her daughter, so wouldn't it be better if we could clear up the misunderstanding? But Auntie also knows that my fourth brother is not good at speaking and can't even speak properly, so I came here with him."
Fourth Brother An quietly touched An Hongdou.
That's not what they said when they came!
Besides, he had witnessed everything that happened between Zhao Yun and others with his own eyes, so how could there be any misunderstanding?
He is not blind.
An Hongdou secretly gave An Sige a look, signaling him not to speak.
Zhao Yun's mother thought that what the little girl from the An family said made sense.
Although the An family's attempt to cancel the engagement was indeed not very kind, the daughter would eventually marry into another family and become a daughter-in-law. Now that things have come to this, it is definitely better to reconcile with the An family than to continue the quarrel.
Otherwise, when the daughter gets married, if her husband doesn't love her, her mother-in-law doesn't love her, and she has conflicts with her sister-in-law, then she will have no way to survive!
Thinking about this, Zhao Yun's mother was a little more polite when she started to speak, "Honglin, I don't know what you think, but there is one thing I can't help but say. It was your second aunt who acted as the matchmaker for our two families to get married. At that time, you two agreed after seeing each other. Now that we are about to get married, you want to cancel the engagement and slander our Xiaoyun and the male educated youth for being unclean. If we accept this, do you think our Zhao family will be able to survive in the village in the future?"
Zhao Yun's mother was busy talking and might not have noticed it, but after she finished speaking, Zhao Yun's face instantly turned red.
Not sure if she was ashamed or trying to cover it up, she lowered her head slightly to conceal it.
What Zhao Yun's mother said did make sense, but the victim in this incident was obviously Fourth Brother An, and he couldn't just accept it.
"Auntie..." Fourth Brother An was about to retort, but An Hongdou pulled him back and said, "Auntie, what you said makes sense. Let's not talk about anything else for now. Let my fourth brother and Sister Zhao Yun talk alone. If there are any misunderstandings, it can be resolved. Is that okay with you?"
"I won't go." Zhao Yun turned his head and refused directly.
Zhao Yun's father put down his chopsticks and said with a dark face, "Why not go? If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. As long as you don't do things that make people point fingers at you and gossip about you, what is there to be afraid of? Besides, what the An family girl said makes sense. If there is any misunderstanding, let's clear it up. Otherwise, how are you two going to live after you get married?"
An Hongdou is now almost certain that the Zhao family still doesn't know about what happened between Zhao Yun and Gao Bing.
Otherwise, the Zhao family would not have the attitude they have now.
Zhao Yun was a little scared, especially when her father threw the chopsticks, which frightened her so much that she shivered.
Zhao Yun's mother also agreed, "Your father is right. Just take Honglin inside to talk. Our family is outside. What do you have to be afraid of?"
An Hongdou took the opportunity to walk over and hugged Zhao Yun's arm. "Yes, Sister Zhao Yun, if you don't want to stay in the house, you can take me and my fourth brother out for a walk. The weather is nice today, so let's take a look at the scenery outside. It will also be easier to explain any misunderstandings between you and my fourth brother, right?"
Zhao Yun was forced to go. He didn't want to go, but he had to go.
At the same time, she was also feeling guilty, fearing that her family might accidentally hear her talking at home, so she walked out hesitantly, dragged by An Hongdou.
Fourth Brother An followed behind with a sullen look on his face. He still couldn't figure out why his younger sister dragged him here and wanted to take Zhao Yun out.
The Zhao family obviously didn't want them to cancel the engagement. Zhao Yun, who had been flirting with another man with a clear conscience the day before yesterday, now refused to admit the dirty deeds he had done and even wanted to blame him!
Fourth Brother An felt aggrieved to have to get married under such circumstances.
Watching the three people walk away, Zhao Yun's mother sat on the stool with a worried look on her face.
Zhao Yun's father chewed the food in his mouth mechanically. It didn't seem like he was eating, but more like he was venting.
Zhao Yun's mother suddenly looked up and said, "Dad, do you think our Nizi is really having something with that Gao Bing?"
Otherwise, if they simply wanted to cancel the engagement, the An family wouldn't have made such a big fuss and come to their house so carelessly, pointing at their daughter's nose and calling her shameless?
This makes me feel upset just thinking about it.
"Our Xiaoyun said that there is no more, so it is definitely not the case. What's the matter? You don't trust your own daughter?" Zhao Yun's father said this very firmly, but if you look closely, you can see that he was shaking when he picked up the food.
Zhao Yun's mother's eyes were red, and she said, "Of course I believe my own daughter, but we did a lot of inquiries when we were matchmaking. Honglin is also an honest man, he shouldn't lie to us. He came to our house yesterday and swore that our Zhao Yun was hugging another man, and he even had a name. In addition, Xiaoyun also mentioned several times that she wanted to cancel the engagement some time ago, so I was worried."
"What's there to complain about? We should believe whatever our daughter says. If our daughter really has something going on with another man, then why not take this opportunity to break off the engagement? How could she still refuse to admit it?" Zhao Yun's father said as he threw his chopsticks, which made a loud noise when they hit the dishes on the table. "I won't eat anymore. I can't even eat in peace. Hurry up and clean up these things and do what you need to do."
Zhao Yun was held by An Hongdou's arm all the way, and as she had something to hide, she took the two of them to a deserted place.
On the small road next to the village, there is a small pond separating the nearest house in the village. With the wild grass growing around it and the sparse reeds beside the pond, it is a safe place to talk.
Zhao Yun struggled to take his arm out of An Hongdou's hand, turned around with a pale face, and asked them, "Why did you ask me out alone? What do you want to say?"
