"Hua Rongsheng, do you want to betray me?"
In the main hall of the Hua family in the east of the village, Hua Rongyin put his hands on his hips and glared at Hua's mother, his elder sister Hua Rongsheng, who was sitting in the upper seat.
To Hua Mu's left, sitting in the same row with her, was Hua Zhengfeng, the patriarch of Huaqiao Village. Behind Hua Rongyin, Jiang Yuchun, dressed in a pink and purple silk gown and with a pout on her lips, stood.
"Chief, please say something fair?" Seeing that Hua Rongsheng ignored her, Hua Rongyin then turned her gaze to Hua Zhengfeng who was standing beside her.
"Her uncle, you are not right to say that. It was you who broke off the engagement back then, how can you blame my wife?" Ye Maochun, Hua's father, who was sitting below Hua's mother, frowned slightly and looked at the aggressive Hua Rongyin with displeasure.
"Rong Yin, it is said that even a judge cannot judge family affairs. Although I am the patriarch of the Hua family in Huaqiao Village, it is not my place to interfere too much in your family affairs." Hua Zhengfeng looked at the domineering middle-aged man with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Yes, Maochun. What's going on with you? Why would your wife's younger brother say that Qingcheng is engaged to his son?" Xu Qingchuan, who was beside the patriarch, also looked at Hua's father in confusion.
"Clan leader, Qingchuan, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you." Hua's father Ye Maochun sighed slightly.
"Sixteen years ago, when Qingcheng was one month old, my uncle and his wife came back to drink in the full moon wine. My uncle was already pregnant at that time."
"When my uncle saw that Qingcheng was smart and clever, he couldn't help but feel pity for her, so he suggested that if he had a son in the future, the two children should be engaged, and the two families would be closer from then on." Ye Maochun looked leisurely, as if recalling the past.
"Did the scholar agree to it with you?" Xu Qingchuan also attended the full moon banquet at that time, but he didn't expect that they had such a past in private.
"Yes." Ye Maochun replied, and Hua Mu, who was sitting at the head of the table, nodded.
"Clan leader, did you hear that? Both of them admitted it in person! Now Hua Qingcheng refuses to acknowledge it and is unfaithful to marry someone else. Shouldn't you give us an explanation?" Hua Rongyin glanced at Hua Rongsheng proudly.
"Her uncle, how can you turn the tables?" Ye Maochun saw Hua Rongyin's aggressive look and the anger in his heart rose.
"That's right, clan leader. When Qingcheng was one year old, my uncle's son, Jiang Yuchun, was also born. On the day of the child's full moon, my wife and I took Qingcheng to Fuyun County and handed the Gengtie with Qingcheng's birth date and time to my uncle and his family."
"It's just..." Ye Maochun lowered his eyes slightly and sighed.
"But what happened at that time?" Seeing Hua's father hesitant to speak, Xu Qingchuan suddenly became curious.
"Yes. At that time, my uncle's father-in-law, the old man of the Jiang family, even hired a monk to tell the child's fortune. When we arrived at the Jiang family's house, the monk hadn't left yet."
"That monk is truly despicable. Seeing Qingcheng in my arms, he actually started saying that our Qingcheng would be a second-rate person when she grows up. Not only would she be unfaithful and fall in love with everyone she met, but she would also be short-lived and wouldn't live past the age of sixteen."
"The most abominable thing is that after seeing the engagement letter, the monk said that Qingcheng was indeed born to be short-lived, and her horoscope actually made her life shorter than her face. It was really bizarre. I was so angry that I scratched his bald head right away."
Thinking of what the monk had said, Ye Maochun couldn't help but feel furious, as if a lump of air was stuck in his throat, unable to escape or escape. He had already lost one child, and yet he was being told such things about another. It was simply outrageous!
Isn't that true? Doesn't that woman just fall in love with every man she meets? Moreover, she has so many husbands at home that they could be strung together like a string of candied haws. It seems that monk is quite capable. Zuo An muttered to himself.
Unlike Hua's father who was very excited, Zuo An was sitting in the corner with his arms crossed in front of his chest and his legs crossed. The corners of his lips were slightly raised and a piece of dogtail grass was in his mouth. He was enjoying the bloody farce being staged in Hua Qingcheng's house with great interest.
"He's truly an ignorant monk." Xu Qingchuan nodded upon hearing Ye Maochun's words. At least he couldn't say it so directly in front of others, right? Any parent would be furious to hear someone say that about their child.
"When my uncle and his father-in-law heard the monk's words, they broke off the engagement on the spot, and the two children's engagements were called off. So now my uncle comes to our house and accuses us of betrayal. Isn't this just turning the tables?"
Ye Maochun, Hua's father, glanced at Hua Rongyin angrily. Could it be that the Jiang family saw that their daughter Qingcheng had become successful and now regretted it?
But it's too late!
His Qingcheng already has a better match. Not to mention her legal husband Mu Lige, even her concubine, any one of them would be better than Jiang Yuchun, right?
"Brother-in-law, we are one family and we can't write the word 'flower' twice with one stroke."
"Look, our Yuchun is so good. She's got the looks and the figure. You can tell she's fertile. And she's still young, only fifteen. How is she not better than that bought-in child husband of yours?"
"If you ask me, just divorce that child husband. Our Yuchun and Qingcheng are a match made in heaven! He's just a child husband with unknown origins. Even if you don't divorce him, he can only be a concubine."
As Hua Rongyin spoke, she pushed Jiang Yuchun behind him in front of Hua's mother and father.
"Yuchun greets aunt and uncle!" Jiang Yuchun then awkwardly stepped forward and bowed to Hua's mother and father.
Hua Rongsheng closed her eyes, feeling embarrassed to watch, while Ye Maochun simply rolled his eyes speechlessly. Mu Lige had been diligent, filial to her parents-in-law, and a good wife-mother for the six years she had been with the Hua family. How could Jiang Yuchun, with her petty appearance, compare to his Mu Lige?
What's more, his daughter Li Ge is already pregnant, with two precious babies in her belly! He loves Mu Li Ge so much that he can't wait to let his daughter Hua Qingcheng divorce her husband and marry someone else. It's ridiculous! The biggest absurdity in the world!
"Rong Yin, what you said is too harsh! Mu Lige is the most handsome man in our Huaqiao Village. Let me tell you, your Yuchun really can't compare to him." Xu Qingchuan responded bluntly on behalf of his good friend Ye Maochun.
"Everyone in Huaqiao Village can see Mu Lige's appearance and character. Hua Rongyin, please don't say anything hurtful." After understanding the whole story, the clan leader Hua Zhengfeng said unhappily.
"Who wants to drive my Li Ge away? Haha...how shameless!"
As everyone was chattering and deadlocked, a cold voice floated in, with a tone full of anger.
