"Brother my ass! I'm not your older brother!"
Brother Wang felt insulted and hit harder than before, making Zhang Yuan want to slap himself in the face.
"Uncle, Aunt, please calm him down. After all, Xiaojuan and I are engaged. If this gets out of hand, it won't look good for anyone. You don't want Xiaojuan to be sad, do you?"
Now he can only gamble on the feelings of gambling king Xiao Juan for him, and the heartache of gambling king's family for their daughter.
Since Wang Xiaojuan didn't come, he can try to coax her properly after things have calmed down, and maybe he can still win her back.
Even if it can't be salvaged, Wang Xiaojuan should at least suffer the damage to her reputation along with him, since her family hurt him.
As for Sun Yingdi, she is quite charming, but since things have already come to this, the only option is to end the relationship.
In just two minutes, Zhang Yuan had figured out his escape route, until he heard Wang Xiaojuan's voice.
"Help! Someone's having an affair here! Everyone come and see!"
Zhang Yuan was incredulous, but she would still recognize Wang Xiaojuan's voice even if it turned to ashes.
"Wang Xiaojuan!"
Zhang Yuan tried to run away, but Brother Wang held him down firmly, and he could only watch as Wang Xiaojuan walked inside step by step after she finished what she was doing.
"Zhang Yuan, from today onwards, our engagement is null and void! You shameless woman!"
Ever since she learned that Zhang Yuan wanted to marry her to take care of his family, but was spending money to support his granddaughter Yingdi outside, her values were completely reshaped.
She was well protected from a young age and wanted to be with her parents for life, so how could she stand this kind of treatment?
"Wang Xiaojuan, you're going to get me killed!"
Wang Xiaojuan sneered, "Harm you? Mom and Dad, brother and sister-in-law, drag them to the Zhang family to settle accounts."
"No way! Wang Xiaojuan, I'm your girlfriend!"
The Party Secretary's wife rushed forward and slapped him across the face several times, yelling, "Don't use your mouth to spout nonsense! My daughter has nothing to do with you!"
"Boss, take them to the Zhang family."
Sun Yingdi wanted to feign fainting, but was threatened by Sister-in-law Wang, "If I were you, you'd quickly grab a couple of pieces of clothing and put them on instead of pretending to faint, otherwise this whole journey..."
Two sentences were enough to make Sun Yingdi stop pretending and quickly pulled up her clothes and put them on again.
Of course, covering up the key areas is the limit; it's impossible to cover more than that.
Even though they were unwilling, they were still taken away by the Wang family.
The commune was only so big, and no matter how much the two prayed to God, they still encountered people they knew, who pointed and gossiped about them.
"Isn't that Zhang's third son? What did he do wrong?"
"What else could it be? I've seen that girl walking ahead once. Zhang Laosan said she was his girlfriend. And looking at how disheveled he and the other girl are, they must have been caught doing something shameful."
"Don't talk nonsense, that's indecent assault, you'll be arrested."
Zhang Yuan lowered his head again and again, but these words still reached his ears, and some people even came up to greet him.
What should have been a short distance turned into a journey as difficult as the pilgrimage to the West.
"Son, what happened to you? Who hit you?"
As soon as the Zhang family door opened, Zhang Yuan was shoved forward hard by Brother Wang, falling straight into Zhang's mother's arms. Seeing her son's condition, Zhang's mother felt heartbroken.
She looked up, wanting to kill the person who harmed her son, only to meet the murderous gazes of Brother Wang and the Party Secretary.
"Honey, in-law, what's wrong?"
The Party Secretary's wife grabbed Sun Yingdi by the collar and shoved her forward. "You can't just call someone 'family member' or 'in-law' like that. You should call this girl's parents 'in-law,' since she's already given herself to your son."
When Zhang Ma saw Sun Yingdi's face, she almost lost her balance. The Sun family was also in the commune, and Sun Yingdi had come to their house to look for her son twice, but she never expected that her son would get involved with Sun Yingdi.
What kind of family is the Sun family? The father is a gambler, the mother is weak and favors sons over daughters, and the grandparents are not the kind of people to be trifled with.
He has no real skills, but he's incredibly good at being annoying.
Even though her son and Sun Yingdi were both disheveled, she still couldn't accept this reality.
"My dear in-law, are you mistaken? They're just ordinary classmates."
Seeing Wang Xiaojuan standing behind the Party Secretary's wife, Zhang Ma grasped at a straw, "Xiaojuan, Yuanyuan only has you in his heart. There must be some misunderstanding. You must believe him."
Looking at the woman in front of her, Wang Xiaojuan saw obvious disappointment in her eyes. The woman had treated her well before and seemed to be very reasonable.
Now the facts are right in front of her. She didn't even utter a single curse at Zhang Yuan. Instead, she tried every means to find excuses for him. Sure enough, if the lower beam is crooked, the upper beam will surely be crooked as well.
"What happened today was witnessed by my family, and there is no misunderstanding whatsoever."
“Zhang Yuan had an affair with Sun Yingdi after the engagement was made. He was wrong. I won’t break down the door or fight, but I want to annul the engagement.”
Then she turned to the onlookers behind her and said, "Fellow villagers, let me bear witness that I, Wang Xiaojuan from Xiaowang Village, have witnessed Zhang Yuan and Sun Yingdi's illicit affair and hereby withdraw to allow this scumbag and despicable couple to have their way."
They claimed to be withdrawing, but the Wang family stripped them naked.
"Although it was Zhang Yuan's fault, I don't want compensation. I find it disgusting."
After saying this, Wang Xiaojuan turned and left first, followed by the rest of the Wang family. Only Wang's eldest brother, who was still angry, hesitated for a few seconds before leaving with his family.
"Juanzi, why should we let him off like this? We should smash some more things to vent our anger before we leave."
The Party Secretary's wife understood her daughter's concerns. "What's the rush? There will be plenty of opportunities to vent your anger. Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative."
Seeing that his mother was still in the mood to buy things, Brother Wang was even more confused, but he dared not ask any more questions for fear of being scolded by his whole family.
"Mom, are you going to see Uncle?"
The Party Secretary's wife nodded, "Your uncle and aunt care about Juanzi the most. If they heard about such a big thing from someone else, wouldn't they think we don't treat them as family?"
Brother Wang nodded immediately. His wife looked at him and suddenly wanted to ask herself a few years ago how she could have fallen for such a simpleton.
“Zhang Yuan’s father and his eldest brother both work under his uncle, and Zhang Yuan’s second brother works in the same factory as his aunt.”
Brother Wang's eyes lit up instantly. "How could I have forgotten about this? Right, right! Let's hurry up and chat with Uncle and Aunt."
It was already afternoon when the Wang family returned to the village.
Wang Xiaojuan didn't even go home; she ran straight to where Gu An'an was.
"It worked?"
Wang Xiaojuan nodded, "Thank you, but I still feel a little sad. Am I not good enough?"
"A blessed woman does not enter a family without blessings."
One sentence instantly calmed Wang Xiaojuan down.
The next day.
Wang Xiaojuan went to find Gu An'an again, "Gu Zhiqing, I heard they're getting married."
