Chapter 400: When the Wall Falls, Everyone Pushes Back



Before the mother and her two sons reached the front door of their house, they saw that the gate of their courtyard was full of people. When they saw Cao Erxiang and her two sons coming back, the people who were watching the fun took the initiative to make way for them.

When they saw the person standing at the gate of the courtyard, the mother and her two children felt a pang in their hearts at the same time. Cao Erxiang forced herself to be brave and put on a smile to greet him.

"relatives by marriage……"

"No, our family has been of good character for generations, but we are not worthy of being called your in-law." The middle-aged man standing at the gate of the courtyard had a stern face and didn't even look at Xu Laigui who was standing behind Cao Erxiang.

“In-laws…” Cao Erxiang’s face turned pale.

Although she had already guessed the reason why the middle-aged man came to her house, Cao Erxiang still wanted to try harder.

The future eldest daughter-in-law has a good temper and is nimble, good at housework and cooking, and can get along well with the eldest son...

The middle-aged man pointed to the messy pile of wine, cakes, canned food, malted milk and so on near the gate.

"I don't need to explain why I came here today. You should have an idea in your mind. You brought those things to our house. Count them and see if you are missing anything. If you are missing anything, tell me now and I will make up for it."

The middle-aged man became furious when he thought of his neighbors' gloating words.

Cao Erxiang smiled apologetically, "My dear relatives, it seems that the two children will have their wedding in the second half of the year..."

"You'd better count your things quickly!" the middle-aged man interrupted Cao Erxiang.

It's disgusting enough to have a slut.

They even resorted to slander and frame-up.

That was a life! He didn't dare to marry his daughter to such a cruel family.

“Uncle…”

Xu Laigui felt a little uncomfortable that his future father-in-law came to add insult to injury.

But when he thought about the little things he did with his partner in daily life, Xu Laigui suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, quickly took out a pack of Big Rooster cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette, and handed it over with a smile.

The middle-aged man didn't extend his hand.

"Laigui, you are a good child, but... my Juan'er is not so lucky." The middle-aged man was too embarrassed to say it in the end.

There is nothing to fault about Xu Laigui's character.

He is down-to-earth and hard-working, and has quick hands and feet.

It's a pity that I have such a father.

Xu Laigui didn't like beating around the bush. "Uncle, I just found out about my father's affairs. You can't just blame everyone else just because my father did something wrong..."

"Since you've said so much, I'm going to tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Your father's affair has been known to everyone now. The words can be as harsh as they can be. My Juan'er has been looked down upon and ridiculed by others because of your father's affair. If you really want to be good to my Juan'er, just let her go."

The middle-aged man sighed, "You don't want Juan'er to follow you and live a life of being criticized by others, right?"

Let’s not talk about the affair for now.

This is killing people...

It’s chilling to think about it.

What the neighbors said was unpleasant, but there was one thing they said that was true.

If he couldn't bring himself to cancel the engagement, not only would his daughter suffer, but even the children she would give birth to in the future would not be able to hold their heads up high.

Xu Laigui's feet staggered, and an unprecedented feeling of sadness spread from the depths of his heart.

"It was his father who did that heartless thing. My Laigui really knew nothing..." Cao Erxiang hurriedly explained.

"But outsiders will only say that they are the son and daughter-in-law of Xu Youcai from Panshi Village..." The middle-aged man frowned.

When one person goes to jail, it affects not only him, but also three generations including grandparents, parents and grandchildren.

From now on, you won’t be able to join the army or even work in a factory.

"I agree to cancel the engagement." Xu Laigui suppressed the reluctance in his heart and uttered the words with difficulty.

Now is not the time to act on impulse.

"Uncle, go ahead. I agree to cancel the engagement." Xu Laigui took out the key to the courtyard gate from his pocket and opened the door to go into the house.

When the middle-aged man saw that Xu Laigui agreed to cancel the engagement, he left without saying a word.

Seeing that the marriage had fallen through, Cao Erxiang and Xu Laifu knew that it was pointless to say more, so they picked up the things that the middle-aged man had left at the gate and went into the house.

The onlookers saw that the show was over and were about to turn around and leave.

I saw a man and a woman carrying large and small bags walking towards this side.

The man was wearing a neat Zhongshan suit and black cloth shoes. He looked nothing like the average farmer working in the fields.

The woman following behind the man was wearing a green military jacket and dark blue cloth pants, and her hands were clean as she carried things.

At first glance, you can tell that these are not hands for doing rough work.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Isn't that Xu Laifu's future father-in-law and mother-in-law?" someone asked with sharp eyes.

"Wow! You have a lot of things in your hands!"

"We've been together for a year or two, how can we be short of things?"

Needless to say, everyone knows what it means to bring things here at this critical moment.

"Xu Youcai failed to steal the chicken and ended up losing the rice instead."

"Xu Laigui and Xu Laifu are unlucky to have such a father."

"If the engagement is cancelled, which girl will dare to enter the Xu family in the future?!"

"What do you think? Will Su Changhe and Wang Chunmei return Xu Youcai's daughter to you?"

“That’s hard to say!”

"Stop talking, stop talking. Xu Laifu's father-in-law and mother-in-law are coming." Seeing the middle-aged man and woman approaching, someone whispered a reminder to the crowd who were talking fiercely.

The onlookers saw someone approaching and consciously gave up their position at the gate.

Cao Erxiang, who had carried the things back to the house, had just turned around to close the gate when a middle-aged man and woman came in carrying the things.

When Cao Erxiang saw what the two men were holding, her head buzzed.

A deep feeling of powerlessness spread throughout my body.

Without waiting for her to speak, the middle-aged man and woman placed the things in front of her.

"Don't we need to say more?"

"My dear relatives..." Cao Erxiang's throat became stiff and her eyes turned red.

My eldest son's marriage has just been cancelled...

"Don't yell, we don't have any relatives in jail." The middle-aged woman rolled her eyes, "You'd better count the things, otherwise when we leave later, you will complain about what's missing."

Xu Lai Fu was an impatient person to begin with. Hearing this, he could not bear it. He pointed at the wide-open gate and roared.

"roll!"

The middle-aged woman was frightened and dragged the middle-aged man away.

"My dear relatives..." Cao Erxiang wanted to chase after them.

"Mom, let them go. I don't believe that I, Xu Lai Fu, can't survive without my wife." Xu Lai Fu's face was gloomy, and there was an uncontrollable rage in his eyes.

Cao Erxiang watched the middle-aged man and woman disappear at the gate of the courtyard, tears rolling down her face uncontrollably.
