Chapter 73 Broken Engagement
The next day.
Jiang Youfu, Yang, Jiang Youcheng, Liu, and several relatives from the clan, including Jiang Xiaoxing and Jiang Mixia's uncles, rushed to Hongjia Village.
When I got there, Hong Sanbao was lying on the bed.
Because his legs and hands were broken, Hong Sanbao was unable to move and was like a disabled person.
When she heard that Jiang Youfu and his group came to cancel the engagement, she lay on the bed cursing, scolding Jiang Xiaoxing for being snobbish and scolding Jiang Youfu for being short-sighted, and for coming to cancel the engagement in a hurry just to see that Jiang Youfu was in trouble.
The people who went there together were all Jiang Xiaoxing's uncles. When they heard the bastard talking nonsense, they couldn't help but slap him a few times. They slapped Hong Sanbao's face until it was so swollen that he couldn't even speak.
After dealing with Hong Sanbao, Jiang Youfu and the others did not hesitate to state their purpose.
The betrothal gift was returned, and Jiang Xiaoxing's engagement letter was taken back. From then on, the two families had no further relationship.
Hong Sanbao's parents were extremely angry when they saw that their son had become a gambler. They even wanted to break off the relationship and drive Hong Sanbao out.
But when it comes to Hong Sanbao's marriage, the couple feels that the reason this man is fooling around outside is because he has not started a family.
After Jiang Xiaoxing got married, Hong Sanbao had a wife, and he was able to calm down and live a good life.
What's more, the initial betrothal gifts and other things have already been given. If they cancel the engagement now, especially if it's the man who cancels the engagement, they may not be able to get all the betrothal gifts back, which would be a huge loss.
Therefore, Hong Sanbao's parents kept silent on the matter, pretending that nothing had happened, and waited for Jiang Xiaoxing to marry in. Once the matter was done, it would be too late to regret.
As for them, they are both parents now and have found wives for their children, which makes them feel at ease.
But now, the Jiang family came looking for us...
Hong Sanbao's parents knew they were in the wrong, so they did as Jiang Youfu and the others said, returned the engagement letter, and called off the marriage.
This matter has come to an end for the time being.
Of course, some people would be curious and ask questions about the fact that Jiang Xiaoxing, who was about to get married, suddenly stopped holding weddings at home.
Jiang Youfu and Yang's reply was that Hong Sanbao was addicted to gambling, and the family lost all their money and was in debt. They couldn't bear to push their daughter into the fire pit, so they cancelled the engagement.
No more was said.
The people in Jiangjia Village naturally understood this very well, and even shared a common hatred for the enemy, only cursing that Hong Sanbao's family was a piece of shit.
Since she was addicted to gambling and owed a lot of money, her parents and brothers knew about it. But they didn't take the initiative to cancel the engagement. Instead, they expected Jiang Xiaoxing to jump into this fire pit. They were really bad-hearted.
There were also people who did not ask the reason in detail, but also followed suit in cursing the Hong family.
The reason is very simple.
They all knew the personalities of the young men and girls in Jiangjia Village. They were all very good, and whenever they talked about marriage, they would be sought after.
Since they want to cancel the engagement, the other party must have done something unforgivable, forcing the adults in the family to do such a thing as severing ties with the other party even if it means destroying their own reputation.
In short, it must be the other party's fault.
It's right to follow suit and curse the Hong family! Seeing that there were no rumors in the village, and that everyone was working together to curse the Hong family, Jiang Youfu and Yang were relieved, but looking at Jiang Xiaoxing, they were also a little worried.
After winter, spring came, and Jiang Xiaoxing was already seventeen years old. She was quite old, and it would be difficult to talk about marriage.
What's more, she had broken off the engagement with the Hong family...
But what worried Jiang Youfu and his wife even more was Jiang Xiaoxing's condition at this time.
Ever since she broke off the engagement with the Hong family, Jiang Xiaoxing acted as if nothing had happened. She ate, drank, and worked as usual, as if the matter had nothing to do with her.
If Jiang Xiaoxing was upset for two days, Jiang Youfu and his wife would not be so scared. But now that she remained silent, they were extremely worried, fearing that Jiang Xiaoxing would be unable to get over the matter.
Jiang Xiaotao and Jiang Xiaoli went home and comforted Jiang Xiaoxing, saying that it didn't look like anything was wrong, so Jiang Youfu and Yang could rest assured.
But the old couple could not help but feel worried, so they went to find Jiang Mixia and asked her to persuade Jiang Xiaoxing.
Jiang Xiaoxing and Jiang Mixia are the same age and grew up together. Although Jiang Mixia was confused in the past, the two have a very good relationship. Now Jiang Mixia is smart and capable, and Jiang Xiaoxing admires Jiang Mixia more and more.
Jiang Youfu and Yang felt that if Jiang Mixia could persuade and enlighten them, it would definitely work.
When Jiang Mixia received such a task, she thought for a moment and then called Jiang Xiaoxing home to help.
The reason was that Mrs. Liu had been having severe arm pain these days. She saw a doctor and had some plaster applied. She needed to rest for several days, so she needed to ask Jiang Xiaoxing to come home to help with cooking.
Jiang Xiaoxing naturally went to help happily. In addition to cooking, she saw Jiang Mixia making clay dolls and thought it was fun, so she tried her hand too.
However, Jiang Xiaoxing's skills were limited. She could not make the clay dolls in the patterns of Jiang Mixia, nor could she make the clay plates and bowls like Jiang Chunyu. She could only make them for fun.
You can pinch big round watermelons, small apricots, apples, pears and so on.
"No wonder Fifth Sister is such a good cook. It turns out that all she thinks about is food." Jiang Mixia joked as she looked at what Jiang Xiaoxing was making.
"It's true." Jiang Xiaoxing looked at the things she had pinched and laughed. "They are all food. I didn't know what to pinch at first, so I just pinched them randomly. After I finished pinching them, I found that they looked like this, so I just pinched them into this shape."
"That's perfect. I'll use the clay bowl Chunyu made later to put all these things in. A big bowl of various fruits will look so nice."
"Okay." Jiang Chunyu nodded, "Then I have to make this bowl bigger, otherwise it won't be able to hold it later."
After that, Jiang Chunyu rolled the clay into long thin strips, and then used the long thin strips to make spiral shapes, which he slowly piled up to form the shape of a bowl, and then flattened the protrusions of the inner and outer strips.
In a short while, the large sea bowl took shape and looked quite realistic.
"Not bad." Jiang Xiaoxing nodded and smiled.
"Hey, Fifth Sister." Jiang Mixia touched Jiang Xiaoxing with her arm and asked in a low voice, "Are you unhappy?"
"Ah?" Jiang Xiaoxing was a little confused by the question, "Why am I unhappy?"
"About the matter of breaking off the engagement..." Jiang Mixia did not hide anything and asked directly, "My uncle and aunt are afraid that you will be unhappy, and they have been very worried. They wanted me to ask you and persuade you. You know me, I am stupid and can't talk, so I just asked directly..."
Jiang Xiaoxing looked at Jiang Mixia's serious expression and was stunned for a while.
