Chen Jianbing's face suddenly darkened. He didn't expect that the Wen family would not give him any face in front of so many people.
"What? You haven't prepared anything yet." Wen Dafu said sarcastically with a cold smile.
Yes, he deliberately didn't let the Chen family in. They had already done the most they could by not making any noise and going to the Chen family to cause trouble.
Sister Jing moved back and forth, quickly squeezing to the front. She had to witness the big event with her own eyes.
Chen Jianbing's voice was filled with uncontrollable anger, "Uncle Wen, everything is here as you requested."
After saying that, he handed over the bamboo basket in his hand and took out five ten-dollar bills from his bag and handed them over.
"Wen Dafu, can you please count the fifty yuan compensation for breaking off the engagement?" Chen's father deliberately raised his voice, trying to make sure that everyone watching could hear it.
Wen Dafu stopped his outstretched hand halfway and said in surprise, "Ah... Isn't this the money your family wants to repay you?"
Before he finished speaking, he took a step back. "Chen Jianbing, take the money back quickly. You broke off the engagement according to the village rules. Your father is clearly throwing dirty water on us."
"Chen Jianbing, take your marriage certificate back. From now on, we are even and have nothing to do with marriage between men and women." Wen Guan took out the marriage certificate in her hand generously.
The successive messages caused an uproar among the onlookers.
At first, I envied Wen Dafu for getting another fifty yuan, and my mood has not yet calmed down.
Wen Dafu didn't even want the money, saying that the fifty yuan was clearly repayment for a favor, but now he was throwing dirty water on his family.
"You may not know, but I heard from my father-in-law that when there was a severe drought, the Chen family relied on the Wen family to survive." Aunt Jing lowered her voice and explained the inside story to the people next to her.
Aunt Qing covered her mouth and said, "Oh my God, why did the two families arrange a marriage for no reason?"
"Back then, Wen Dafu's mother gave the Chen family a glutinous rice brick this big." Aunt Jing said, gesturing with her hands.
"The Chen family is so shameless. Not only do they do things in an unethical way, they also try to smear their saviors." Aunt Qing sighed.
"That's right. From now on, we have to stay away from them." Aunt Jing curled her lips and said sharply, "Some people rely on their sons being soldiers, and everyone in the county has to give in to them."
A flash of hostility flashed across Chen Jianbing's eyes. After a few breaths, he raised his head and forced a stiff smile at the corners of his mouth.
"Uncle Wen, my dad said the wrong thing. Please accept it on behalf of Grandma Wen to thank her for her help back then."
Wen Dafu didn't hesitate at all and waved his hand to drive them away, "Hurry up and leave. We don't want your money. Just think that my mother made a mistake in choosing someone."
Without waiting for Chen Jianbing to speak, he said in a loud voice: "I gave your family a glutinous rice brick ten years ago. Ten years later, you should give me one back. From now on, our two families will be even."
"Yes, when my grandma saved that person, she never thought of asking your family to repay her. It was your family that begged my grandma to arrange a marriage for the child." Wen Guan pushed Chen Jianbing away from the door without any hesitation.
"Wait...Xiao Wan, I..."
Father Chen's face turned blue and then red, and then blue and then red again. His mind was full of stars. "Let's go back."
After saying that, he pulled Chen Jianbing, who was still in shock, out of the crowd, "Get out of the way... get out of the way..."
Seeing the Chen father and son walking away quickly, Liu Qingliang felt guilty about his narrow-mindedness. A few days ago, he thought that Wen Dafu's request for forty yuan was robbery and extortion.
