Chapter 23



Yan Sisi looked at her family's surprised, mocking and amusing looks, and it was as if she had returned to her dream and saw her family pointing fingers at her.

"How did my second sister-in-law discipline her child to make Sisi do such a thing?"

"Yes, after what happened to Sisi, how can any girl in our family get married? When people find out that there is such a sister, they just leave without even looking at her."

"If it were me, I would have jumped into the river out of shame to avoid bringing shame to my family. But she actually had the nerve to come back. She didn't think that no one in the country knew about her affair, did she?"

The chattering sound kept ringing in her ears, and Yan Sisi felt like she was about to fall. She clearly did nothing, so why were all the dirty words thrown at her, while the man could still get compliments from others, "Amazing, you can get such a beautiful girl, teach me what method you used."

Even though nothing happened, in the eyes of some people she seemed to have turned into rotten mud.

Yan Sisi, who was immersed in her own thoughts, couldn't help but shudder when her mother slapped her. When she came to her senses, she heard her mother ask worriedly, "Sisi, what's wrong with you?"

Yan Sisi watched her father arguing with the man and pinched her palm hard. Everything was different. Her life would not be the same as in her dream.

Facing her mother's worried look, Yan Sisi replied calmly, "It's okay."

Yan's seriously injured father was standing in front of her, trying to protect her from all harm. She loved her family so much, so what did she have to be afraid of?

Yan Sisi straightened her expression. She could handle the previous issues by herself, so this time with her family together, there was nothing she couldn't solve.

Thinking of this, Yan Sisi took a few steps forward, walked in front of the man who was still entangled with her, and said to him calmly: "Even if I break off the engagement, you can't meet me just because you want to. There are so many people chasing me, you can't even get a number."

After saying that, she looked at the man's ugly face and continued, "Besides, don't you ever look in the mirror before you go out? You look like this, but you have the courage to come and see a girl. Who gave you the courage? Is it your weak body that can't carry anything, or is it your sparsely haired head that gave you the courage?"

As soon as these words came out, the neighbors who had rushed over to the courtyard gate laughed one after another, and some even said, "Maybe his eyes are blurry and he didn't see his true face clearly."

Huang Wei gritted his teeth and looked over when he heard this. He had always been popular in the city, but he never thought that one day a little girl would say this to him in person. His face turned red with anger, and he pointed at Yan Sisi for a long time before he could only utter the word "you".

Yan Sisi looked at the man's red face, not knowing whether he was angry or ashamed of himself, but she felt relieved anyway. She had been holding these words in her heart since she learned that her cousin was being looked at by such an old man. Now that she said them out loud, she felt an indescribable relief.

Yan Sisi looked at the man who was already stuttering and could not help but continue to retort: ​​"What are you talking about? You can't even speak clearly. Do you have any hidden illness? And yet you insist on coming out to meet someone. Are you looking for someone to take care of you in your old age?"

The other people in the house, just like the first day they met Yan Sisi, all stood there in a daze watching her performance.

Huang Wei's veins popped out from the series of words and tone. No one had ever dared to talk to him like that to his face, and he was ready to hit the person with his hand.

Yan Sisi quickly bent down and dodged when she saw this. Father Yan, who had been watching them from behind, swung the stick in his hand and hit Huang Wei on the arm. The intense pain spread to Huang Wei's brain, and he, with his delicate skin, held his hand and cried out in pain.

Father Yan stared blankly at the shoulder pole he held in one hand. Did he really need that much strength? Did it need to hurt so much?

Huang Wei covered his arm and wailed, shouting, "The people from Yanjia Village beat people up. I'm going to get the police to arrest you."

A powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake. He cannot deal with so many people alone, so he can only think of other ways to escape.

"The Yan family is about to get into trouble. Go find the village chief."

The other people in the family also started to panic. They never expected that a simple visit would turn into such a farce.

Xu Baoying, the oldest, watched the farce in front of him calmly, and walked towards the man while enduring a headache. He looked fiercely at the man and whispered, "I wonder how the public security comrades will deal with this hooliganism if they find out?"

As for the matter of her granddaughter being taken advantage of, she had not originally planned to tell anyone about it. If the villagers knew about it, how would her granddaughter face people in the future? Now she could only use this matter to threaten them.

Huang Weiding stood there with his arms folded, still unwilling to give up, saying, "You don't have any evidence?"

"Really?" Xu Baoying asked, "Then do you have evidence to prove that we were the ones who fought? You have to know that this is Yanjia Village, not your county's territory."

Yan Sisi listened to the whole process and immediately said, "Grandma, I heard that if the police find out about a deliberate accusation, you will be arrested. Let's take him to the hospital to check and we'll know if he's injured. It's said that there's an instrument in the hospital that can tell if a person is injured just by looking at it."

She didn't believe it. Her father could hurt someone with just one hand. He must have done it on purpose.

"Yes, go to the hospital and check it out."

Huang Wei couldn't help but panic after hearing this. He really didn't feel much force just now, and most of it was fake. He seldom went to the hospital, and he didn't know whether the hospital really had such an instrument. He immediately became suspicious. If this was really found out, he would lose his job if it was reported to the factory.

Seeing his wandering eyes, Yan Sisi added, "If this is a deliberate slander, we will go to their factory and ask their leaders to explain. A deputy director is actually a liar. Let's see if their factory will do anything about it."

Huang Wei, who was already a little hesitant, didn't dare to risk his job at all. He touched his arm awkwardly and said, "It's okay. It just hurt a little bit but it's fine now. How can a grown man like me not be able to bear such a small injury? Forget it."

After saying this, she got angry at the matchmaker Wang Erhong who was late, "What kind of person are you introducing? There is nothing attractive about her. Don't introduce country girls to me in the future. I can't afford them."

After Huang Wei finished speaking, he pouted at the ground again, pushed away the crowd crowding at the door, and left in shame.

Yan Sisi heaved a sigh of relief when the man left. Just as she was about to follow her mother back home, she heard villagers talking outside the courtyard: "That person just said that Sisi's engagement was broken off. Is this true?"

"No way, Sisi is the most beautiful girl in our village, and she's still a high school student, how could she be rejected?"

"It's hard to say. If the engagement hadn't been cancelled, how would such a high-ranking deputy director know about it? It must have been cancelled. I don't know what Sisi did to anger her in-laws and get the engagement cancelled."

"That's true. Once the engagement is broken off, she becomes second-hand. It's hard to find another partner. When people find out that she's a girl whose engagement was broken off, they think there must be something wrong with her."

"If the engagement is really cancelled, where can I find a partner with such a good family background? How can Sisi, who is so confused, agree to cancel the engagement? This is my daughter, and there is no way I can get her to agree."

Yan Sisi took a deep breath, turned around and walked towards the gate, facing the villagers who were still gossiping at the gate, especially the two who were discussing more heatedly.

"Ahem." Yan Sisi coughed twice at the door, then pulled her mother who was about to close the door and said to the gossipers, "First of all, I was the one who broke off the engagement, not him. Secondly, whether I break off the engagement or not is none of your business. If you really don't care, just take care of your family affairs when you have time."

Liu Lan was hit right in the face, and she felt embarrassed. A group of people looked at her and said angrily, "You kid, we were kind-hearted and just said a few more words. What's your attitude?"

After saying that, she turned to Yan's mother standing beside her and said, "Patriotic, how did you discipline your child? You taught him to yell at the elders like this. No wonder the engagement was broken off. The man must have been unable to stand her temper."

Yan Sisi moved her lips in anger and said angrily, "How can you be so senior to me? If you have time, you should take care of your son. He is still single at such an old age. Don't you look for the reason in yourself? I think it may be because you are too talkative, Aunt Liu, that's why no girl dares to marry you."

Someone who had long been fed up with Liu Lan's chattering chimed in, "Yes, Liu Lan, your son is almost thirty, and he still doesn't have a partner!"

"No, you remembered wrongly, only twenty-nine."

"My bad. I'm already 29 years old. When can we drink at your wedding?" Li Mei said in a pinched voice and couldn't help laughing after she finished speaking.

You, Liu Lan, keep complaining about other people's affairs all day long, but when it comes to their family affairs, you don't allow anyone to talk about anything. She has been unhappy with her for a long time.

Liu Lan, who was the most aggressive in criticizing others, immediately glared and said loudly when she saw her son being criticized: "Li Mei, what does our family's affairs have to do with you? Doesn't my son have a lot of suitors? He has been overwhelmed by the choices and has not married yet. Don't make irresponsible remarks without knowing anything."

"Oh, your son is so picky, and you're confused. Don't you think there's nothing to choose from?"

"You are talking nonsense. I will tear your mouth to pieces and your son will have no choice."

Yan Sisi looked at the noisy crowd and slammed the door shut, letting them experience the feeling of being hurt by harsh words.

Yan Sisi returned to the main room with her mother. Seeing that only her father and grandmother were left in the room, she couldn't help but look at her mother. "What should I do?"

Yan's mother quietly gestured in the direction of her mother-in-law, and then she heard a "bang". "You two, tell me the truth, what's going on with Sisi's marriage?"

Father Yan explained, "It was that brat Xu Weiming who went out to see someone without Sisi's knowledge and was discovered by Sisi."

He never mentioned the incident of Sisi falling into the water. There might be someone eavesdropping outside the house. If this got out and the villagers knew about it, who knows what they would say about his Sisi.

"Their family has gone too far, and you're just going to ask them to call off the engagement?" Xu Baoying slammed the table in anger when she heard this. "When the old man comes back, I'll ask him to ask them how they have the nerve to call off the engagement after doing something like that."

Father Yan heard the sound of slapping the table and couldn't help but shudder and said, "I went to cancel the marriage. She hasn't even gotten married yet. That's it..."

"It's good that he retired. Our daughter is such a good girl. How can she not find a partner after leaving his family?" Xu Baoying looked at his granddaughter who was hiding in the back. He couldn't help but feel sorry for her because she had to face the rumors outside at such a young age.

You have to know that although they were the ones who broke off the marriage, in the eyes of outsiders, it was the woman who did something wrong, as if women are naturally inferior to men. If there is any mistake, it is the woman who is scolded. For men, it is just a matter of criticism and then it is over, but for women, it will be remembered for a lifetime.

Xu Baoying waved to her granddaughter, and when she came in, she hugged her in her arms, "It's okay, don't be afraid. This is not good, grandma will ask your grandfather to find you a better partner than this one."

"Grandma, I'm fine." Yan Sisi hid in her grandma's warm arms, feeling a sense of security. The hustle and bustle outside seemed to have left her at this moment.
