Chapter 6 Chapter 6 "Empty? What's empty?"
Ye Tan said in a sarcastic tone.
The look in her eyes when she looked at him changed from the previous infatuation to indifference and a hint of disgust, as if he had really turned into a pile of stinky shit.
Just by looking at his eyes, he couldn't believe that this was Ye Tan.
Li Congjun was stunned, his confidence somewhat shattered, and he kept saying, "I don't believe it. Are you trying to scare me on purpose?"
How could he cancel the engagement when he hadn't done it to her yet?
"Xiao Tan, stop making trouble. We're getting married soon. Talking about breaking off the engagement at this point is just a joke. If the news gets out, will you still be able to maintain your reputation?"
Although we say that men and women are equal at this time, in reality, women comrades are still in a relatively weak position in many aspects.
Once a conflict arises between a man and a woman in a marriage, no matter whether the problem lies with the man or not, in the end it is often the woman who suffers the most.
For example, in the case of Ye Tan, she and Li Congjun had been dating and were even discussing marriage. Now that they have broken up and want to cancel the marriage, it will have a certain impact on their reputation.
When you look for a husband in the future, others will look down on you and be more concerned when they find out.
The reason why Li Congjun was able to hook up with so many women without getting into trouble was because he knew the limits.
With just a little scare, those women wouldn't dare to make trouble if they cared about their reputation.
How could a little girl like Ye Tan not be afraid?
Now he is just talking about breaking off the engagement.
It's just a scare, who doesn't know how to do that?
Li Congjun smiled confidently, and Ye Tan knew that this man was overconfident, so he wanted to trample on his confidence.
Ye Tan deliberately dragged out his tone and said, "I can't really say what my reputation is like, but I do know yours is definitely terrible."
Li Congjun saw Ye Tan's certainty and his expression changed slightly. "What do you mean?"
Ye Tan raised the corners of his lips slightly. This is what a person who has done something wrong is like. He feels guilty before others say anything.
The corners of her lips curled up slightly. "What else could it mean? There are so many unspeakable things between you and the widow. There must be a lot of people who would like to hear about it, right?"
Ye Tan's move hit the vital point just right, and the confidence on Li Congjun's face turned pale in an instant.
Panic spread to his eyes, but he quickly forced himself to calm down.
After looking around and seeing that no one else heard it, he gritted his teeth and questioned Ye Tan: "What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by urging a widow? I don't know her!"
"Don't deliberately throw dirty water on me and slander me just because you want to break off the engagement with me. I'm telling you, no way!"
At this moment, all of Li Congjun's elegance and refinement disappeared, and all that was left was harsh words and a weak appearance.
Ye Tan just chuckled, his trick really worked.
"We both know this, Li Congjun. The widow lives just across the wall from yours, and you dare say you don't know her? If you don't want me to tell you about this affair, get out of here now."
"From now on, we can go our separate ways and still show some respect to each other."
Li Congjun gnashed his teeth in anger: "Ye Tan, how dare you threaten me?"
Ye Tan found it extremely funny. "I've already said it, and you're still asking me if I dare. Is your brain okay?"
"Ye Tan!"
"Are you going to leave or not?"
Ye Jianming couldn't stand it any longer, so he pushed his niece aside and slapped Li Congjun in the face with a broom, "If you don't get out of here, I'll give you a ride!"
Li Congjun was scared away by Ye Jianming.
Ye Tan looked at Li Congjun who was running away in a panic and gave his uncle a thumbs up. "Uncle, you are so powerful and domineering. Li Congjun was so scared that he ran away with a single blow."
Ye Jianguo laughed and said, "Don't you remember that your uncle used to lead me and your second uncle to fight all over the village without any rivals."
Ye Jianhui raised his voice and asked, "Brother, did you scare people away?"
The three of them turned around and walked back into the yard.
Ye Jianming said with a smile: "That's right, as soon as he saw me trying to instigate him, I knew he was weak."
Er Feng, who was in a daze, came back to her senses: "Xu? What do you mean by Xu?"
Ye Tan: "I feel guilty."
Er Feng turned to look at Ye Tan and suddenly asked her, "You just mentioned Cui Gua Fu, who is Cui Gua Fu?"
When Ye Tan and Li Congjun were talking outside the gate, their voices were not loud. Erfeng was a little curious about Li Congjun and wanted to go and listen, but was stopped by Jin Guihua, who asked her why an unmarried girl like her could get involved.
Erfeng couldn't go over to listen in person, but she sat there with her ears stretched out, and still managed to hear some of what was said intermittently.
But Ye Tan deliberately lowered his voice for the rest of the sentence, so she didn't hear it clearly. Now that she saw Ye Tan, she asked out of curiosity.
Ye Tan said casually: "A widow is just a widow."
Erfeng always felt that the matter was not that simple and wanted to ask more questions, but Ye Jianhui next to her scolded her: "Why are you asking so many questions, girl?"
Erfeng curled her lips, but didn't dare to talk back, so she could only hold her anger in her heart.
Xu Huiling looked at their parents and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, now that it's over, let's not talk about him anymore. By the way, I heard Erfeng was also looking for someone, I wonder if she's found someone suitable?"
The mention of her own marriage finally diverted Erfeng's attention. Thinking of Li Congjun, she curled her lips and said dissatisfiedly, "How can there be a suitable one! I don't know what kind of matchmaker my mother found. The ones she introduced are all ugly."
As she said this, she glanced at her mother with dissatisfaction. Those people were not even as good as a hair of Li Congjun. It was a pity that some people still didn't know how to cherish them.
Ye Tan stood aside with a calm expression, as if he didn't notice Er Feng's jealous look.
Jin Guihua angrily slapped her daughter on the back and said, "You are blaming me, girl. If you have the ability, you should learn from your cousin. She found a handsome man without the family worrying about her."
Er Feng turned her head and glanced at Ye Tan, and whispered sarcastically: "Isn't it just that it looks good and can be eaten."
Xu Huiling had a gentle smile on her face. Her daughter finally broke off the engagement with Li Congjun, and she was very happy. But when she heard Erfeng's words, the smile disappeared.
The smile on Ye Jianguo's face also faded a little.
Ye Jianming turned his head and glared at his cousin.
Ye Jianhui's old face flushed, and he turned around and scolded his wife and daughter with a stern face: "What nonsense are you talking about? If you don't want to stay, go home!"
Jin Guihua also realized that she had not controlled her emotions and had spoken out of turn.
But she was still a little embarrassed and angry when her husband scolded her in front of his brothers: "Why are you so mean to me? I didn't mean it, I just forgot for a moment. Do you have to yell at me?"
After saying that, he muttered, "Who knew that the engagement would suddenly be called off when everything was going well."
Xu Huiling and her second cousin's wife had never gotten along, and not wanting to get into trouble, she stood up and said, "I'll go cook."
Ye Jianhui looked at his still angry wife and urged her, "Don't sit there anymore. Go help your sister-in-law." He then looked at Erfeng and gestured, "You go too."
Er Feng pouted, not wanting to go into the kitchen. She turned her eyes to Ye Tan who was standing beside her and said, "Let my cousin go. I'm hot."
Ye Jianhui glared at her, but did not urge her any further. He turned around and apologized to Ye Jianguo.
Ye Jianguo waved his hand to show that he didn't mind, but Ye Jianming shook his head in his heart. This second son still didn't care about disciplining his wife and daughter. He would regret it in the future.
Xu Huiling cleaned the pot and lit the fire. She stewed the chicken while frying some potatoes and meat slices. These were two home-cooked dishes, and the staple food was just two-grain flour steamed buns.
There is chicken, meat and vegetables, which is already a very sumptuous meal to entertain guests at this time.
Ye Jianguo and Xu Huiling invited everyone to dinner.
This meal was held to thank Ye Jianming for helping to cancel the engagement today.
Ye Tan had heard about the process of breaking off the engagement before and knew that it was thanks to this uncle's overwhelming power that the engagement was broken off so easily, so he kept picking up food for him at the dinner table.
She quickly picked up both chicken legs and put them into Ye Jianming's bowl. Erfeng couldn't snatch them from her. She was so angry that she almost threw her chopsticks. But when she saw that she gave them to Ye Jianming, she didn't dare to say anything.
Erfeng didn't know why, but she was also afraid of this uncle. Normally, when she met him on the street, she would want to turn around and run away, and she didn't dare to act rudely in front of him.
Fortunately, this uncle is not often at home.
Jinguihua picked up a piece of meaty chicken for Erfeng, and Erfeng immediately lowered her head and started eating.
Ye Tan was very active in picking up food for Ye Jianming, but he himself had a poor appetite and only ate vegetables.
She used to stay in air-conditioned rooms, so she is not used to this hot and humid weather yet.
On the other hand, Erfeng's appetite was whetted after eating a piece of chicken. Not only did she eat three steamed buns in one breath, but she also ate the chicken soup in the plate with her steamed buns.
Ye Tan looked at the white porcelain basin, which was so clean that it seemed to be shining.
Taking another look at her even rounder waist, she is indeed the fattest girl. With her ability to not miss out on any opportunity, it is time for her to gain weight.
After eating and drinking, Ye Jianhui said a few words of comfort to his brother and niece, and left with his wife and children.
Ye Jianming stayed behind and said to his brother, "When it comes to marriage, I've always believed that it's better to be single than to marry someone who is not good enough. When you told me on the phone that you were engaged to Xiao Tan, I was worried that it was too hasty. When I came back this time, I was just about to find out more about the other person's character, and then you said you wanted to cancel the engagement. I knew this person was not a good person."
"Anyway, the engagement has been called off now. Xiao Tan is still young, so I don't think we need to rush into marriage. We can slowly look around and find someone good. I'll definitely find one."
Xu Huiling listened and felt that her cousin really cared about her niece, and she was very grateful.
Ye Jianguo and his eldest cousin have always had a good relationship. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, big brother. Xiao Tan is my only daughter. I will definitely pay attention to her lifelong affairs."
As they were talking, they walked to the street corner, and Ye Jianming asked them not to see them off.
Ye Jianguo: "Brother, how many days will you stay at home this time?"
Ye Jianming: "It won't be long. We'll set off the day after tomorrow."
Ye Jianming is the captain of the factory's transport team. He is away for several months at a time and only stays at home for a few days throughout the year. Fortunately, he has no family to worry about and is single and free.
"Go back, Xiao Tan. Rest well at home for the next few days and heal the wound on your forehead. Your uncle is going to the plateau this time, and he'll bring you some yam beef when he comes back."
Ye Tan said sweetly, "Okay, thank you, uncle. But I heard that people who have never been to the plateau will have altitude sickness, such as difficulty breathing and not being able to adapt to the local climate. Uncle, you should pay attention to it."
Ye Jianming felt comforted when he heard his niece's concern.
He was unmarried and had no children, so he looked at Ye Tan as if he were his own child. He raised his rough big hand and touched Ye Tan's head.
"Don't worry, uncle has made all the necessary preparations, don't worry."
After talking for a while, Ye Jianming asked his nephew Ye Yanlin when he would be back from his business trip. He wanted to see if he could see him before he left.
Ye Jianguo thought for a moment and said, "He'll probably be back in the next two days."
After Ye Jianming got the confirmation, he said nothing more, waved his hand and left.
When Xu Huiling got home, she sat down at the table, pounded her shoulders, and breathed a sigh of relief. "It's finally over, and I feel relieved."
Ye Jianguo also sat down relaxedly. The couple sat facing each other and started laughing as they looked at each other.
Ye Tan felt like he was being fed a mouthful of dog food.
