Lin Xuanjiao talked to her parents for a while and then hung up the phone. After all, she wanted to go back early because it was not good to stay in the town all the time. Her parents also had to discuss the cancellation of the engagement.
On this side, Lin Shifu heard the beep as the phone was hung up and finally couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha! I've finally waited for this day. Wanqing, let's quickly go to the Shi family to cancel the engagement."
Ji Wanqing gave Lin Shifu a look and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? The Shi family won't run away."
Having said that, Ji Wanqing had already walked to the door first. This matter has always been a concern for her. Lin Xuanjiao was born when she was 40 years old, which was considered an advanced maternal age, so she was particularly partial to Lin Xuanjiao. Seeing her daughter, whom she had spoiled since childhood, running after a man without self-respect, it would be strange if she was not upset.
But this marriage was arranged by her. Ji Wanqing had just wanted to go back to her old self and stop the arranged marriage. Now everything is finally over. This marriage can finally be cancelled. Ji Wanqing felt that she could finally sleep well.
Lin Shifu and Ji Wanqing quickly arrived at the Shi family's house. The houses where their group lived were basically allocated to them by the state, so it didn't take long to get to the Shi family.
Chi Yuzhen in the yard saw the figures of Lin Shifu and Ji Wanqing from afar, and she hurried to greet them. The relationship between the two families was already good, and it would be even better if they could become closer relatives. However, her son had done something stupid, and he often talked about canceling the engagement and treated his fiancée, who had grown up with him, with a cold face.
This has caused both families to lose face. If Shi Chengyu continues to act like this, let alone becoming friends, it would be a blessing if they don't become enemies.
With such a son, what else could Chi Yuzhen do? Although she was two years younger than Ji Wanqing, she was 38 years old and could be considered an advanced maternal age. She had almost lost her life to have such a son.
Her family did not have as many sons as the Lin family. She gave birth to five children in total, four of whom were daughters, and the last son was the one she had to fight for.
In fact, Chi Yuzhen didn't want to have more children. In her opinion, it didn't matter whether it was a boy or a girl, and the children would be equally filial. But she couldn't stand the pointing and criticizing of her family and people around her, who were trying to do things for her own good, and she couldn't say anything.
After she finally gave birth to a son, the discussions about her gradually subsided.
Thinking of this, Chi Yuzhen sighed. She really owed this little ancestor in her previous life, so she came to repay the debt in this life.
Before Chi Yuzhen could think too much, Lin Shifu and Ji Wanqing had already arrived. Chi Yuzhen smiled and greeted them as soon as she saw them: "Brother Lin and Sister Wanqing are here! Come in and sit inside, it's too sunny outside."
After saying that, he warmly invited the two to sit down in the house. The two did not refuse. After all, they still had to discuss the cancellation of the engagement later, and this kind of thing usually took up a lot of time.
Although Lin Shifu was very active in talking about canceling the engagement at home, when he got here he could only sit next to Ji Wanqing without saying a word.
In fact, if Shi Yuanyi was here, he would have spoken up, but the old man had disappeared and he couldn't be found here. As a man, it was not appropriate for him to discuss his children's affairs with a woman! He could only look at his wife.
Ji Wanqing did not let Lin Shifu down and quickly explained her purpose: "Yuzhen! We are here to discuss the matter between Jiaojiao and your Chengyu."
Chi Yuzhen's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this brat had gotten into trouble again? When this brat went to the countryside, she had repeatedly told him to take good care of Jiaojiao and not to bully her. Even if he didn't like Jiaojiao, they were still friends who grew up together, so it was good for them to take care of each other.
But this brat seemed to have forgotten that he had parents since he went to the countryside, and he never called her. Sometimes when she wanted to know about her son's news, she would get it from the Lin couple. After all, their daughter often called them to tell them about her life situation, and also told them about Shi Chengyu.
Thinking of this, Chi Yuzhen couldn't help but curse Shi Chengyu in her heart. Jiaojiao is such a good kid! They know each other well and have been childhood sweethearts. If they were together in the future, it would be so much less of a worry! But this kid is like a fool.
She knew her son well. Although he said he didn't like Jiaojiao, he should have been attracted to her a long time ago. He just might not know it. She did say it, but Shi Chengyu firmly denied it. He was a bad boy. He couldn't be taught a lesson. He made Jiaojiao angry and ran away. He would regret it.
"Sister Wanqing, did that brat Chenyu bully Jiaojiao again? Tell me about it, and I'll call her and teach her a lesson."
Ji Wanqing couldn't help but smile when she thought of her purpose: "Yuzhen! We are here to cancel the engagement."
"Look, we were just talking casually at the beginning, but everyone around us took it seriously. We had no choice but to acknowledge this marriage. Now the children have grown up and have their own ideas. We, the older generation, can't impose our ideas on them, don't you think? Yuzhen."
When Chi Yuzhen heard these words, she couldn't hide the surprise on her face. Are the Lin family here to cancel the engagement? She must have heard it right! Jiaojiao likes Chenyu so much, but she is willing to let him go?
Chi Yuzhen thought so and asked. Ji Wanqing did not hide her joy, her eyes curved: "Yes! It was Jiaojiao herself who asked us to cancel the engagement as soon as possible. Look, the two children have no feelings for each other now, so let's forget about this marriage!"
The smile on Chi Yuzhen's face froze for a moment. What else could she say? It was indeed her family that had done something wrong during this period. She had also thought about whether it would be better to cancel the engagement, but she knew that her son liked Jiaojiao, and Jiaojiao also liked her son very much. She also liked Jiaojiao to be her daughter-in-law, and would definitely treat her as her own daughter.
Thinking about her troublesome son, Chi Yuzhen wanted to fight for this stupid son. "Why not wait a few more years? Now the two children are together, what if they suddenly fall in love with each other?"
Lin Shifu, who was sitting nearby, heard this and blurted out, "Impossible, absolutely impossible."
Chi Yuzhen turned to look at Lin Shifu. No matter what, you have to pretend! Is it really okay to reject it so directly?
"……Ha ha……"
Ji Wanqing nudged Lin Shifu with her elbow, signaling him to control his emotions and stop talking nonsense, while replying to Chi Yuzhen, "That's not necessary."
