The next day after returning to Linjiang Village from Pan the blacksmith's house, Pei Shaorong stayed in the village and did not go out. He nodded with satisfaction when he saw Pan the blacksmith running to the Mo family to cancel the engagement with the engagement letter without even changing his clothes.
If Blacksmith Pan dared to play any tricks, he wouldn't mind going to Pan's house again. He hadn't taken action for a long time and his fists were itching!
Old Man Mo was shocked when he saw Blacksmith Pan appear. In fact, anyone would be scared when seeing Blacksmith Pan with a bruised face and blood all over his body.
"Cancel the engagement, Mo family, you have to cancel the engagement for me. I won't marry your boy anymore. I won't marry him anymore. Quickly, cancel the engagement for me and return the betrothal money to me..."
After being hung all night last night, Blacksmith Pan was really scared. At first, he thought that after he was rescued, he would find the people who beat him up, and settle the score with the Mo family.
He wouldn't believe that this matter had nothing to do with the Mo family. The mysterious No. 108 hero of Liangshan must have been found by the Mo family!
However, this thought was completely dispelled by the chicken blood above his head in the second half of the night. The bloody chicken blood fell on his head drop by drop, and Blacksmith Pan felt as if a knife was hanging over his head.
Although it was dark yesterday and I couldn't see the man's face and expression clearly, he was so skilled in chopping off the chicken's head that it was as if he had chopped off hundreds of people's heads before.
Blacksmith Pan's heart trembled. Even the bullies in the town had never been so cruel. That man must be a ruthless person with murder on his hands. He couldn't afford to offend such a person!
"Mo family, hurry up, break off the engagement. I won't marry your little brother anymore. No matter who you marry, don't marry me..."
Blacksmith Pan was terribly frightened, because that ruthless man had said that if he didn't cancel the engagement today, he would take his life later.
"Hey, Pan family, can you cancel this arranged marriage just like that? If you cancel the engagement, my Mo family will become a laughing stock in the village..."
Old Man Mo held the engagement letter with a dark face. He had brought Mo Xiaobao back yesterday and talked to him for most of the night. Although Mo Xiaobao didn't know where he got the three strings of money, he didn't want to cancel the marriage.
He was not after the three strings of cash as a betrothal gift. What he wanted was to get Blacksmith Pan to help him invest in the potential stock of his eldest son-in-law so that he could become rich in the future.
Although the Pan family is of poor quality, they are well-off. It is not easy for him to say bad things about them. It is a good thing to have Pan the blacksmith as his wife. It is better than letting Mo Xiaobao marry into a poor family and have to support them in the future.
I quarreled with Mo Xiaobao for half the night yesterday. Old Man Mo was so angry. His little brother was very good at work and was also good at quarreling in the village. As a father, he couldn't win the argument.
Although letting Xiaobao marry Blacksmith Pan was a bit unfair to him, he was doing it for Xiaobao's own good. If this marriage really went through, the eldest son-in-law's living expenses would be solved, and Xiaobao would also be married. Isn't it the best of both worlds?
Who else can Xiaobao marry if not Blacksmith Pan? No man in the village or outside the village is willing to marry him. Does he really have to support Xiaobao for the rest of his life?
After arguing for half the night yesterday, Old Man Mo was really angry, so he locked the person up and prepared to send him to the Pan family on the auspicious day. However, he didn't expect that the Pan family would come to his house early in the morning to cancel the engagement.
"No, this engagement with the Pan family cannot be cancelled. If you cancel the engagement with my little treasure, she will never be able to get married..."
Old Man Mo was unwilling and shook his head to refuse. Blacksmith Pan was terrified when he heard this. How could the Mo family not cancel the engagement? If they didn't cancel the engagement, he would not see tomorrow's sunrise.
"Back off! Your father from the Mo family back off!" Pan the blacksmith slammed the table and roared, "Give me back my money, I won't marry your boy, you disaster star!"
"What did you say..." Old Man Mo was also angry. "You were the one who asked the matchmaker to propose this marriage. Now you want to cancel the engagement. What do you think my Mo family is? This marriage cannot be canceled like this..."
If Xiaobao really can't get married this time, she will have to stay at home for the rest of her life. Old Man Mo feels unlucky when he thinks about it. Not only does he have no son to support him in his old age, but he also has to support a little brother who eats for free all his life.
"you………"
Blacksmith Pan was also angry. In his opinion, the person who threatened him yesterday must have been sent by the Mo family. Not only did they not want to marry the young girl to him, but they also found someone to threaten him.
Now looking at this, Father Mo might still be trying to force him to cancel the engagement and even give him some money as compensation. Damn, Father Mo is too unkind!
But when he thought of the threats Pei Shaorong made before he left yesterday, Pan the blacksmith didn't have the courage to say it directly, for fear that he might provoke him and really lose his life.
"Father Mo, tell me, what exactly do you want to do to cancel the engagement?" Blacksmith Pan said bitterly, helpless and angry.
"No, I won't retreat no matter what!" Old Man Mo shook his head, and he was even pointing at throwing Mo Xiaobao out quickly.
"Don't go too far!" Pan the blacksmith was furious. "I am so unlucky to have met your family. Cancel the engagement, cancel it for me!"
As he said this, Blacksmith Pan angrily tore the engagement letter in his hand into pieces, pushed Old Man Mo away and ran into the house. It seemed that he wanted to find the engagement letter from the Mo family, tear it up and cancel the marriage.
"Get out, Blacksmith Pan, you bastard, get out of here. What are you looking for? Those are our things..."
Old Man Mo was startled and rushed over to stop Blacksmith Pan from trying to get into the house. The two of them immediately started to pull, curse and fight in the Mo family's house.
Blacksmith Pan is a strong blacksmith, but he was beaten up by Pei Shaorong last night and his whole body was covered with wounds. Now he can't even use any strength to hit anyone.
After all, Old Man Mo was a farmer in the countryside, and his strength was not weak. When the two of them fought, Old Man Mo was naturally the better one. Unfortunately, Blacksmith Pan was beaten again, and his injuries were compounded. He immediately started wailing.
"Oh my, someone's been beaten to death. Damn Old Man Mo, how shameless I am. How unlucky I am to have run into someone like you. Oh my..."
There was quite a commotion at the Mo family. Many people saw when Blacksmith Pan came to the village just now. When they heard the wailing, the villagers put down their things and ran to the Mo family to watch the fun.
Pei Shaorong also ran to the door of the Mo family with a box of milk, drinking while watching the fun, laughing in his heart. He had never seen a man throw a tantrum in his life...
In the Mo family's yard, Pan the blacksmith rolled on the ground and wailed. He was beaten up by Pei Shaorong last night and his face was already bruised and swollen. Now he was beaten a few more times by Old Man Mo. On top of the injuries, he lost two teeth.
The villagers who came to watch the fun could hardly bear to look at him, and with his excited look, they all thought to themselves that they never expected Old Man Mo to be such a heavy-handed person. Oh my God, the beating was too pitiful.
Hearing the villagers' murmurs, Old Man Mo stopped, and seeing the look on Blacksmith Pan's face, he didn't dare to hit anyone anymore. If he beat someone and got him hurt, he would have to pay for it.
Old Man Mo stopped attacking, and the wailing Blacksmith Pan finally calmed down. Feeling angry and aggrieved, he stared at Old Man Mo like a bullied young wife.
This guy is such a scoundrel and so unkind. Not only did he find someone to threaten me, but now he refuses to return the betrothal gift and is beating people. Does he want me to live? Wuuuuu.
"Father Mo, if you cancel the engagement, I really won't marry your little brother anymore. I don't want the betrothal gifts anymore. This marriage is off the table. I don't want the money anymore..."
Blacksmith Pan got up from the ground, covering his mouth. He was in so much pain that he didn't want the silver anymore. The Mo family was too cruel. It was not worth losing his life for three strings of money.
Blacksmith Pan didn't want the money to cancel the engagement and wanted to leave, but Old Man Mo refused to let it go. If Blacksmith Pan didn't marry his little Bao, who would marry him? The engagement couldn't be canceled!
"No, the marriage cannot be cancelled..."
Father Mo shook his head and pulled Blacksmith Pan, saying, "Mr. Pan, what's wrong with my brother? He's not ugly and can work. Why do you want to cancel the engagement? Didn't we agree on this?"
"You...your brother is good in every way, but I am not good. Our horoscopes are incompatible. Look at my injuries. If I marry your brother, I won't see the sun tomorrow. I don't want the money. This marriage is off..."
Blacksmith Pan wanted to break free from Old Man Mo's hand, but he had no strength left. He was afraid of being beaten again, so he dared not argue with Old Man Mo anymore.
"Father Mo, please, please spare me. I don't want to die yet. I really don't want the betrothal money..."
"No, you have to marry my little treasure!"
Old Man Mo was very determined. If he missed out on Blacksmith Pan, he wouldn't be able to find someone to throw Mo Xiaobao away. He didn't want to continue raising the little boy.
"You...I won't marry you, I won't marry you..."
Seeing that Old Man Mo was determined to marry Mo Xiaobao to him, Blacksmith Pan felt like crying but had no tears. What bad luck had he gotten into that he had to go to the Mo family to propose marriage?
In the past few decades, people hoped that their girls and boys would stay away from him, but Old Man Mo is determined to marry his girl to him. My God, he can't afford such good fortune!
"No, Pan family, you must marry my Xiaobao..."
"No, I won't marry..."
"To marry ..."
"Don't marry..."
In the Mo family's yard, Blacksmith Pan and Old Man Mo started arguing again. One refused to marry, while the other insisted on marrying. The villagers who were watching the fun laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt.
Old Man Mo and Blacksmith Pan quarreled for a long time. In the end, the village chief came out to mediate. Blacksmith Pan happily gave 500 copper coins as compensation and left. Old Man Mo took the 500 copper coins with a sad face and continued to quarrel with the village chief.
The village chief had no choice. He knew that it was not easy for the young man of the Mo family to find a marriage, but the blacksmith Pan was about to jump into the well to commit suicide, so he had to ask Old Man Mo to give in and cancel the marriage.
Besides, Old Man Mo didn't lose out either. Mo Xiaobao and Blacksmith Pan were not a good match anyway. Blacksmith Pan didn't even want the betrothal gift and instead gave 500 coins as compensation. In the final analysis, the Mo family still made a profit.
At the end, the village chief lost his patience and gave Old Man Mo a lecture with a dark face. Old Man Mo had no choice but to accept the money and go into the house.
Once the matter was settled, the villagers who had come to watch the fun talked about the gossip about the Mo family today and then dispersed in groups of three or four to go back to work in the fields.
Pei Shaorong was walking at the end. He turned around and saw Mo Xiaobao hiding in the corner. He made eye contact and smiled at him before leaving. Mo Xiaobao ran back to the house with a red face...
