Upon hearing this, Lin Qiu sighed. She was actually worried too; Lin Chunmei's fiancé did business in the county town and was better informed. If he found out, she feared…
"Don't worry, the He family... they shouldn't be like that." Lin Qiu's words of comfort to her daughter clearly lacked confidence.
Lin Chunmei was filled with hatred. If the marriage with the He family fell through, her good days would be over. She would skin Yang Cui alive!
The next day, Lin Chunmei's worst fears came true...
Upon seeing Madam He, the Lin family immediately guessed her purpose.
"I won't beat around the bush, I'll just say it directly. I want to break off the engagement. As for the betrothal gifts you gave me before, seeing that you can't afford them anymore, I don't want them anymore. Just return the betrothal papers."
Hearing this, the Lin family felt extremely aggrieved.

Lin Qiu had no choice but to return the betrothal letter to Madam He, who then took it and left.
Lin Chunmei burst into tears, and Lin Qiushi cried along with her, "What kind of sins have we committed? Waaaaah..."
Upon seeing this, Madam Lin scoffed and sneered, "I wonder who was it that kept saying how great their daughter's marriage was back then? No matter how great it was, in the end they still didn't get it."
When Lin Chunmei first proposed the marriage, Lin Qiushi boasted about it to Lin Chenshi. Now that the marriage has fallen through, Lin Chenshi is seizing the opportunity to make a few sarcastic remarks to vent her anger.
