Chen Jianbing turned his head suddenly to look. He didn't understand why Xiao Wan, who used to be quiet and well-behaved, became so fierce today and every word he said was embarrassing.
Could it be... A glimmer of understanding flashed across Chen Jianbing's eyes: Xiao Wan must be too sad and couldn't bear to leave him, so she deliberately acted so aggressive.
"Wen Wan, what the hell are these glutinous rice bricks?" Chen Hongxia shouted, "The things my family gave us are all rare items. How much are your glutinous rice bricks worth?"
She said that when they got engaged, she didn't see the gift that Wen Wan gave back to his third brother. It was a glutinous rice brick and it would be embarrassing to tell others about it.
As soon as Chen Hongxia finished speaking, she looked smug, but turned around to look at Chen's father's gloomy eyes. She was frightened and didn't know what was wrong with her words. She could only shrink aside.
"My glutinous rice bricks are worth several lives." Wen Dafu said calmly.
These few words were like a loud slap in the face, making Chen Jianbing and his son blush and their heads buzz.
"Xiao Wan, I know how you feel, but you and I really are not destined to be together. If possible, I would like to acknowledge you as my godsister." Chen Jianbing spoke with an apologetic look in his eyes.
Wen Guan looked at the other party's self-righteous look and couldn't help shuddering. What did Chen Jianbing want to do with this greasy look? "Sister", what a ridiculous name.
"Okay, since you've come today, we're not unreasonable people." Wen Guan flicked his fingers calmly, "You can cancel the engagement, as long as your Chen family returns the things, and our two families will be even."
Father Chen moved his mouth and then sighed. He understood the meaning of Wen Guan's words. The small glutinous rice brick did save their family's lives.
"Brother Dafu, wait a minute, let's talk."
After saying that, Father Chen pulled Chen Jianbing to the door and said in a low voice, "San'er, we have to give the Wen family an explanation for what happened today. This will also give us some relief."
"Dad, what do you say we should do?" Chen Jianbing clenched his fists. His father was right. The Wen family was relying on the grace of saving their lives.
"We definitely can't give them glutinous rice bricks. I think they just want money, so we can use money to repay their favor." Father Chen whispered.
Chen Jianbing nodded, silently expressing his agreement.
"San'er, after our family built the blue brick and tile house, we had 128 yuan left, which was originally intended for your wedding banquet." Father Chen made his attitude clear. There was only a little over 100 yuan in the family, so the compensation could only be paid from this.
Moreover, after canceling the engagement, I still have to go to Liu Xiaoling's house to propose marriage, and buying things and the betrothal gift are also considerable expenses.
A trace of disappointment flashed across Chen Jianbing's eyes, his face turned pale and blue, and he finally uttered a few words, "Don't ask the Wen family to return the things, and compensate them with another fifty yuan."
He knew that his parents had done their best. The fifty yuan allowance was what he received for most of the year, and the remaining money should be enough to marry Xiaoling. Xiaoling was so kind that she would definitely understand him.
Father Chen opened his lips, nodded, and turned to walk into the house.
"Brother Dafu, this is our fault. The engagement items and the betrothal money should be compensated to Xiaowan. We don't want them." Father Chen said in a loud voice.
Seeing that Wen Dafu's expression had not changed, he continued, "We will return the glutinous rice bricks, plus fifty yuan."
Wen Dafu burst out laughing. He understood that the Chen family planned to repay the life-saving grace with a glutinous rice brick and fifty yuan.
