Chapter 190 Sisters Marrying for Others (1)
Song Zhi saw a bench hanging at the gate of Wang's yard, so he walked over, took it down, placed it at the gate, took out his men's handkerchief from his arms, unfolded it and spread it on the bench.
Taotao sat on a bench covered with a handkerchief.
Song Zhi sat down next to her.
On the other side, Bai Zhenzhu called out to A Yao, who was kneeling on the ground...
Someone started crying, "You are trying to kill me!"
The voice was shrill and thin, belonging to a woman.
Taotao raised her eyes and saw a middle-aged man lying on a rocking chair in the Wang family's yard. He was smoking a cigarette leisurely while rocking the chair.
A middle-aged woman was standing next to her, crying with her face covered.
Taotao didn't recognize them, but Bai Zhenzhu did - they were Wang Yanyan's parents.
Bai Zhenzhu spoke in a good-tempered manner, "My dear relatives! The banquet outside is ready. Where is Yanyan? Call her out quickly so that she can go out with Ayao to toast."
The man and woman in the yard made no response.
Bai Zhenzhu said it again.
Then he said it again...
The middle-aged man, Wang Aqi, Wang Yanyan's father, turned a deaf ear.
Wang Yanyan's mother, who was standing next to his rocking chair, couldn't help herself and said sadly, "Yanyan...she's not at home! She went to her uncle's house."
Bai Zhenzhu was silent for a while, then asked, "Today is her and A Yao's engagement day, why is she going on a long journey?"
Wang Ah Qi finally spoke up and asked lazily, "Who agreed to my Yanyan's engagement with that mute?"
Bai Zhenzhu stared at Wang Aqi with eyes wide open.
Wang Ah Qi continued to sneer, "...You are a family of outsiders with unknown origins, and you want to marry my Yanyan with 500 yuan? What are you dreaming of!"
Bai Zhenzhu's expression changed.
A Yao clenched his fists, then loosened them and gestured to Bai Zhenzhu: I won't marry her anymore, let their family return the money to us.
Bai Zhenzhu ignored A Yao and said to Wang A Qi, "My dear relatives, we should be honest. We have already made it clear. If you have any other ideas, just say them... We can still talk. But today is the couple's engagement party. You don't want to embarrass us at this time, right?"
Wang Ah Qi sneered, "Who told you it was ironclad? Did you make a written agreement?"
Bai Zhenzhu said calmly, "We didn't have a written agreement, but we had a matchmaker and a witness... and they were both village cadres from your village. When my family gave your family 500 yuan as a betrothal gift, the matchmaker and the witness were there."
"My dear relatives, how about we invite the matchmaker and the witness to come and talk this over?" Bai Zhenzhu said.
Wang Aqi suddenly sat up from the rocking chair.
He squinted his triangular eyes and looked at Bai Zhenzhu. After sizing her up, he said, "...It's not that our family wants to cancel the engagement, it's really...you're not honest! If this marriage really goes through, our Yanyan will marry into your family, that would be miserable! Yanyan is my eldest daughter, the apple of my eye, I can't bear to let her suffer."
The villagers standing outside the yard immediately started talking about it -
"Come on, Wang Ah Qi has always been lazy and indulged in drinking, whoring and gambling. He never cares about family affairs. Now he has the nerve to say that he loves Yan Yan?"
"Well, to put it bluntly... they are deliberately trying to bully A Yao!"
"This is an engagement party, not a wedding party. In fact, we can get engaged first. If there is anything, we can solve it before the wedding banquet!"
"Are you stupid? He is making trouble at this critical moment. It's obvious that he wants to raise the price!"
Bai Zhenzhu asked Wang Aqi, "Yes, we are outsiders, but we have been in this town for three or four years... Who in this town doesn't know what kind of people we are? Yanyan is enjoying the happiness of marrying our Ayao! How could we let her suffer?"
Wang Ah Qi looked at Bai Zhenzhu and sneered, "Do you still want to hide it now?"
Bai Zhenzhu frowned, "What am I hiding?"
Wang Ahqi, "Just keep it in mind!"
Bai Zhenzhu turned to look at Yanyan's mother, "Yanyan's mother, what's going on? Please speak frankly."
Yanyan's mother took a step back and lowered her head.
Wang Ah Qi said to Bai Zhenzhu, "Don't tell her anything else... Anyway, I have the final say on Yanyan's marriage now!"
White Pearl said, "Well, what do you mean now?"
Wang Ah Qi sneered, "We worked so hard to raise a beautiful daughter. Was it easy? It wasn't easy... Of course, a woman like you who has never been married or had children in your life cannot understand the hardship of raising a child!"
A Yao waved his hands anxiously and started gesticulating.
It means: My aunt raised me and she was very good to me! She suffered a lot to raise me.
Wang Aqi ignored A Yao's explanation completely.
Anyway, Ayao's explanation was extremely quiet...
Bai Zhenzhu, "So? I've never been married or had children. What does this have to do with Yanyan and Ayao's marriage? Yanyan is not marrying me."
Wang Aqi: ...
He suddenly became angry and said, "You want me to speak frankly, right?"
Bai Zhenzhu nodded, "If you have something to say, let's talk. If there is a problem, let's solve it."
Wang Ah Qi nodded and looked at Bai Zhenzhu again, "... Then let me tell you why! Yes, this useless woman of mine did accept your 500 yuan betrothal gift and promised to marry Yanyan to the mute..."
Wang Ah Qi then changed the subject, "But Bai Zhenzhu, you never told us... that you are a murderer!"
As soon as these words came out——
The noisy and chaotic environment just now suddenly became quiet.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Bai Zhenzhu.
Taotao also looked at Bai Zhenzhu.
Bai Zhenzhu looked ashen.
Wang Ah Qi sneered, "Don't deny it! This is what your sister Bai Feicui said... And when Bai Feicui said this, it wasn't just our family that heard it, there were other witnesses as well!"
Bai Zhenzhu opened her mouth in confusion.
——Is it... Jadeite who said that?
Bai Zhenzhu only felt a sharp pain in her heart, and even her breathing stopped.
Originally, Wang Aqi's family did not have a very good reputation in the village.
In addition, Bai Zhenzhu's family has been making a living in the town for several years and has always been hardworking and down-to-earth.
So when it came to A Yao and Yan Yan's marriage, all the villagers favored the Bai family.
But now...
Bai Zhenzhu is a murderer? ? ?
After a brief moment of surprise and shock, the villagers began to discuss in low voices again -
"Did she really kill someone? I can't tell!"
"It is indeed possible. Why don't you think about it? Why do they have to stay in our town and not go back to their hometown?"
"Did he really kill someone? When did he kill someone? Should we call the police?"
"Is it because she killed someone that she usually acts so honestly? Is she afraid that if she is too conspicuous, she will be exposed and caught by us?"
Tao Tao stood up and said to everyone: "I am Bai Zhenzhu's cousin, this is what happened..."
She simply recounted what happened that year, and then said loudly: "Bai Zhenzhu is not a murderer! The crime the court sentenced her to was 'intentional injury'. My niece's life was not in danger from the beginning, and she is fine now. Bai Zhenzhu has already paid the price of losing her freedom for her impulse back then! Now this matter has been turned over!"
"Now Bai Zhenzhu is low-key, down-to-earth, and hardworking. It's not that she is deliberately hiding something, but that's just her personality..."
Tao Tao looked at Wang Aqi and said, "If there are still some monsters who use the name of 'murderer' to talk about Bai Zhenzhu... then he is slandering and spreading rumors! We can also go to court to sue him!"
Wang Aqi was very unhappy after hearing Taotao's words, especially when he heard the words "demons and monsters". But after looking Taotao up and down, he showed a thoughtful and surprised look.
However, when Wang Aqi saw the beauty finish speaking, she sat back on the bench and sat side by side with a handsome man?
Wang Aqi frowned again.
——Such a young and beautiful woman actually already has a boyfriend?
The surrounding villagers also heard Tao Tao's words and started talking about it -
"It turns out it wasn't a murder! It was just a family quarrel!"
"That won't work either. How can she hit a child? And the child she hits is someone else's!"
"Hey, are you guys talking? Is Bai Feicui sick? Her sister is obviously not a murderer, why does she say her sister is a murderer?"
"Anyway, I think Bai Zhenzhu is not a good person."
Bai Zhenzhu looked at Taotao with red eyes.
Unexpectedly, in the end it was Taotao who came forward to defend her reputation.
Bai Zhenzhu asked Wang Aqi again, "My dear relative, even you know that I have never been married or had children in my life... Even if I have a criminal record, I have a criminal record, but Ayao is my elder sister Pan Jin's son. I am not Ayao's direct relative. After Ayao and Yanyan get married... I can't influence them."
Wang Ah Qi sneered, "You killed me when you were twenty..."
Having said this, he subconsciously saw Taotao.
Taotao was staring at him with cold eyes.
Wang Ah Qi swallowed his saliva in confusion and changed his words, "...You are only 20 years old and you dare to beat a child. Who knows if you will do it again one day? What if you really kill someone?"
Bai Zhenzhu said calmly: "If you have such concerns, then after A Yao and Yan Yan get married, I will just leave here. My absence will not affect A Yao and Yan Yan."
A Yao shook his head desperately, pulling at the corner of Bai Zhenzhu's clothes with one hand and shaking it back and forth with the other.
It represents his disapproval of Bai Zhenzhu's departure.
Wang Ah Qi, "The mute is your sister's son. Your sister and you are sisters! As the saying goes, a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse's son will dig holes... The mute has the same blood as you, and he might be even better at fighting!"
Taotao stared at Wang Aqi and understood.
——Wang Aqi doesn’t care at all whether Bai Zhenzhu has been in jail or not. Even if Bai Zhenzhu has been in jail, she is just A Yao’s aunt, not Yan Yan’s future mother-in-law. Wang Aqi's real purpose is to trample Bai Zhenzhu into the dust so that he can get the maximum profit from the bride price.
Bai Zhenzhu asked, "My dear relatives, how do you think we should deal with this matter?"
Wang Ah Qi pretended, "Our Yanyan is pretty, kind, and hardworking... our whole family can't bear to part with her!"
Bai Zhenzhu asked A Yao, "Do you like Yan Yan?"
A Yao shook his head desperately.
Wang Ah Qi got anxious when he saw this, and pointed at Ah Yao and yelled, "You dumb idiot! How dare you be so picky?"
Bai Zhenzhu ignored Wang Aqi and continued to ask Ayao, "Don't think too much at this critical moment... Even if Yanyan's father is deliberately making things difficult for us, it doesn't matter. Over the years, there have been many people who bullied us, and one more or one less will not make a difference..."
"Ayao, we don't need face or anything like that, but I just want to ask you one question. Tell me honestly, do you like Yanyan? If you really like Yanyan, Second Aunt will definitely fight for you. No matter how Yanyan's father makes things difficult, there is always a solution. But if you don't like Yanyan, there is no need for us to insist."
A Yao still shook his head.
He also gestured a few times towards Bai Zhenzhu.
No one else could understand what A Yao's gesture meant, but Bai Zhenzhu frowned and asked, "Really?"
A Yao nodded vigorously.
Bai Zhenzhu held her forehead with her hand, "Then why didn't you tell me before?"
A Yao lowered his head and made a few more gestures.
"You silly child!" Bai Zhenzhu sighed.
Taotao, who was watching from the side, didn't understand what was happening.
She thought that after this incident was over, she would ask Bai Zhenzhu what happened between A Yao and his fiancée. It is said that this is already a new era. Two young people get engaged with the consent of their parents, but it should not be too strange. Both parties must have a good impression of each other before they can get to the stage of engagement.
What was the reason that made A Yao give up his fiancée after paying the betrothal gift?
At this time, Bai Zhenzhu turned to look at Wang Aqi with a cold expression, "Uncle Wang Qi, since you despise me for having been in prison and don't want Yanyan to marry our Ayao, then even if our Ayao is not worthy of Yanyan... please return the betrothal money, and today's twelve tables of wedding wine will be ours, what do you think?"
"You're dreaming!"
Wang Ah Qi cursed excitedly, "You are dishonest and deceived us! You still have the nerve to ask us to return the betrothal gift? I tell you, Bai Zhenzhu, there is no way!"
White Pearl, "What on earth did I lie to you about?"
Wang Ah Qi said without thinking, "You are a murderer..."
Tao Tao said loudly: "I heard it. This is the second time you have slandered and spread rumors tonight!"
"you--"
Wang Aqi glared at Taotao.
Bai Zhenzhu asked Wang Aqi, "I've already said it, I'm not Ayao's mother. Whether I've been in jail or not has nothing to do with Ayao and his wife. Even if Yanyan marries Ayao, I'm not Yanyan's mother-in-law..."
Wang Ah Qi stiffened his neck and yelled, "Then why didn't you confess before you gave me the betrothal money? Do you have to make me tear your face apart before you tell me?"
Bai Zhenzhu clenched her fists.
After a while, she unclenched her fist again and said to Wang Ah Qi: "According to what you said, we didn't tell you that I had been in jail before we gave you the betrothal money, so I was wrong?"
"How could it be false? Our Yanyan is an innocent girl. It is impossible for her to be a relative with someone like you who has a criminal past!" Wang Aqi said loudly and confidently.
Bai Zhenzhu, "Then why didn't you tell us earlier that you owed 4,000 yuan in gambling debts?"
Wang Aqi was stunned.
Yanyan's mother also widened her eyes in surprise and asked Bai Zhenzhu, "How did you know?"
The villagers started talking again -
"Yes, I also heard that Ah Qi owed a lot of gambling debts!"
"I've said it before, Ayao is pretty good. Although he's dumb, he's honest and has a handyman skill. Yanyan won't be bad if she marries him!"
"The only thing that's missing from Ayao is that he doesn't have a household registration and a piece of land to build a house!"
"What a joke! If A Yao had a household registration and land, would he still be interested in Yan Yan?"
"That's right, do you think Wang Yanyan is a good person?"
Facing Bai Zhenzhu's counter-attack, Wang Ah Qi was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. He was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. "I, I, I, I... so what? At least I didn't break the law! I haven't been to jail!"
Bai Zhenzhu, "Before you collected the betrothal money, why didn't you tell us that you went to the Sleeping Horse Widow in Taohua Town next door every week for five dollars a time? You just haven't been caught, but you have already broken the law... Prostitution is also illegal! In serious cases, she can even sue you for hooliganism!"
At this moment, the villagers became excited all of a sudden——
"Oh my god! Wang Qi is also in love with Widow Ma?"
"That's called whoring!"
"Widow Ma seems to be sick! Has Wang Qi also been infected?"
"He already has a wife, so why is he looking for Widow Ma?"
Public opinion was brought to its highest point.
Wang Aqi was stunned. After a while, he shouted fiercely: "Bai Zhenzhu! Do you have any evidence? If you don't have any evidence, then don't...slander me!"
Bai Zhenzhu said calmly, "Half a year ago when I went to work in Taohua Town, I saw with my own eyes that Widow Ma beat you out, saying that you owed her a total of thirty-five yuan. You said you would give her fifty yuan when you won the bet, but she refused, saying that if you didn't give it to her, she would come to your wife to ask for it. In the end, you stole a few chickens and gave them to her, and she let you go temporarily..."
Yanyan's mother, who was standing nearby, was so angry that she yelled, "Wang Ahqi!"
Then the couple started fighting.
Tao Tao asked Bai Zhenzhu, "...How did you choose a family like this?"
Bai Zhenzhu looked at A Yao, feeling very guilty, and explained: "A Yao can't speak, and we have been wandering all these years...so A Yao has no friends, not even one. Yan Yan's family is not well off, but she is the only girl who is willing to come and play with A Yao."
As she spoke, Bai Zhenzhu sighed, "I thought A Yao liked Yan Yan, so I wanted to ask for Yan Yan to marry him. I was thinking... we cannot choose our parents and our background, but we can decide which path we want to take by ourselves!"
"...But I just asked Ah Yao if Yanyan was necessary, and he told me that he didn't like Yanyan. The reason he agreed to be engaged to Yanyan was because he thought we liked Yanyan."
Tao Tao looked at A Yao and scolded him, "Why are you so stupid? This is a matter of a lifetime!"
A Yao hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to gesture a few times towards Tao Tao.
Taotao didn't understand and looked at Bai Zhenzhu eagerly.
Bai Zhenzhu's eyes suddenly turned red, and she explained to Taotao, "He said... actually he didn't want to get married. But his mother and I both wanted him to get married, so he agreed to get married... It doesn't matter who he marries, what matters is that his mother and I like that girl."
Tao Tao smiled and said to A Yao, "That won't work! Marriage requires two people to truly love each other... Otherwise, neither you nor your partner will be happy. When you are unhappy and can no longer stand each other but cannot be separated because of your children, just imagine how sad your mother and your second aunt will be."
A Yao is very smart and immediately understood what Tao Tao said.
He had a thoughtful expression.
At this time, Yanyan's mother and Wang Aqi had finished fighting.
Yanyan's mother is a girl after all, and she couldn't beat Wang Aqi, so she was beaten to a pulp.
Wang Ah Qi stood up and shouted directly at Bai Zhenzhu, "Bai Zhenzhu, I'm telling you! Bring me another 5,000 yuan and I'll marry Yanyan to the mute! Otherwise... this deal is over! And don't even think about getting the 500 yuan back! It's impossible!"
Bai Zhenzhu refused to give in. "I didn't say that I didn't return the betrothal money when I called off the engagement. No matter where you go, you're wrong! If you return the money to us today, our two families will be even! Otherwise, we won't give up! After all, our family is not rich, and we didn't pick up five hundred yuan!"
Over there, Bai Zhenzhu and Wang Aqi were arguing fiercely...
A young girl with thick eyebrows and big eyes ran towards A Yao and called him, "A Yao!"
When A Yao saw her, he was stunned at first, then his face turned red. He looked at Bai Zhenzhu nervously, and then subconsciously looked at Taotao.
Taotao:? ? ?
So Taotao looked at the young girl for a while - the girl was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a slim figure, not very beautiful but pretty. She was wearing old army pants that were patched but neatly starched, and her hair was braided into two braids that hung down in front of her chest.
Tao Tao asked: "Ayao, who is she?"
A Yao gestured to Tao Tao nervously.
At the moment, Bai Zhenzhu was arguing with Wang Aqi and had no time to act as an interpreter.
But the young girl stared at A Yao for a while, then turned around and greeted Tao Tao openly, "Hello, auntie, I'm Wang Lulu, Wang Yanyan's cousin."
Tao Tao suddenly realized and asked Wang Lulu, "Is your cousin really not at home?"
Wang Lulu, "She's at home, she doesn't dare to come out."
"Are you afraid of being blamed by her parents?" Taotao asked again.
Wang Lulu hesitated for a while, looked at A Yao, then looked at Tao Tao, and then looked at Bai Zhenzhu who was arguing fiercely with Wang A Qi.
The girl bit her lip and looked at A Yao, mustering up the courage to ask him, "A Yao, let me ask you... Anyway, you have already given my seventh uncle 500 yuan as a betrothal gift. If you don't want to marry Yan Yan, then, then are you willing to marry me?"
Taotao was stunned.
Song Zhi, who was sitting next to him, was also stunned.
A Yao's face turned even redder. He shook his head desperately and tried hard to shake off Wang Lulu's hand.
After a while, Taotao came back to her senses and asked, "Girl, you..."
Although the quarrel between Bai Zhenzhu and Wang Aqi attracted most people's attention, some people still looked at A Yao and Wang Lulu.
Wang Lulu blushed and let go of A Yao's arm. She walked to Taotao, half squatted down, and told Taotao about her life story in a soft voice.
Wang Lulu is an orphan.
She was a posthumous child. Her father was Wang Aqi's biological brother Wang Awu, and her mother remarried after giving birth to her. But before leaving, her mother left her a considerable sum of money, which was her mother's dowry, and claimed that the money would be given to whoever was willing to adopt Wang Lulu for safekeeping.
Wang Aqi was greedy for money, so he adopted Wang Lulu and took away the dowry from Wang Lulu's mother.
Later, within just three to five years, Wang Lulu's mother's dowry was squandered by Wang Aqi. Wang Lulu grew up slowly and stayed in her seventh uncle's house like a little servant. She did most of the rough and heavy work at home.
A few years ago, when A Yao came to the town with his mother, aunt and cousins to settle down, Wang Lulu and A Yao became good friends who could talk about anything.
But because A Yao couldn't speak, most of the time it was Wang Lulu who talked and A Yao listened.
Wang Lulu talked to A Yao about many things, and her depressed mood was relieved. She then secretly fell in love with A Yao, a down-to-earth, hardworking and taciturn man.
Wang Yanyan also noticed that her sister was getting closer and closer to the mute in the town.
A Yao gave most of the money he earned from working to Bai Zhenzhu and saved it. But Bai Zhenzhu would also give him some pocket money, so he would often bring small gifts to Wang Lulu, sometimes a handkerchief, two hair ties, a small bag of roasted melon seeds... When he had no money, he would weave a beautiful little basket with bamboo strips, or pick a bunch of flowers for Wang Lulu...
Wang Yanyan coveted these little things and always went with Wang Lulu.
Later on, Wang Yanyan used housework to trap Wang Lulu and prevented Wang Lulu from playing with A Yao, so she went to find A Yao herself.
At the beginning, A Yao would ask Wang Yanyan to bring something to Wang Lulu...but Wang Yanyan couldn't understand A Yao's sign language and was too lazy to figure it out, so she just took all the little things that A Yao gave to Wang Lulu for herself. Later, A Yao stopped sending small gifts.
Wang Yanyan doesn't like to work, but she has a sweet mouth.
She was lazy and didn't want to learn sign language, so she couldn't communicate with A Yao. But she has a good relationship with Bai Panjin, Bai Zhenzhu and Bai Feicui. And because of her generous and generous behavior, her family may be poor, but she has both parents...
Bai Zhenzhu and the others had no idea that A Yao and Wang Lulu actually got along well... They just thought that A Yao liked Wang Yanyan!
So Bai Zhenzhu and the others tried to bring A Yao and Wang Lulu together.
A Yao was sad, but this silly boy also felt that his mother and aunt had done him too much good! Since they like Wang Yanyan and want him to marry her...then he should marry Wang Yanyan!
Bai Zhenzhu went to discuss the proposal with Yanyan's mother and offered a betrothal gift of 500 yuan.
Wang Yanyan is already twenty-three years old, two years older than A Yao. A rural girl at this age is still not married... Not only is Yanyan's mother anxious, but Yanyan herself is also extremely anxious.
But Wang Yanyan and her mother knew very well that the main reason why Yanyan had not been noticed until now was:
——Her father, Wang Aqi, is addicted to gambling and owes a huge gambling debt!
——Her two brothers are lazy bastards.
——Her father had already said that if anyone wanted to marry Wang Yanyan, he should not come without a dowry of 1,000 yuan.
But Wang Yanyan is not as beautiful as a fairy, nor is she very hardworking and thrifty.
Because of her family background, no one was interested in her.
As time went by, she was already 23 years old and still couldn't get married.
Yanyan's mother was so anxious that she even secretly spread the word...that she would be willing to marry Wang Yanyan as long as she accepted a dowry of 80 yuan. But even so, no matchmaker ever came to the door.
The Wang family even vaguely heard many young men say that they would rather marry Wang Lulu than Wang Yanyan!
Is there anyone willing to offer a dowry of 500 yuan to marry Yanyan? ? ?
Of course Yanyan is willing and very happy!
Therefore, Wang Lulu was warned by Aunt Qi that she was no longer allowed to have any contact with A Yao.
However, after Yanyan's family received the 500 yuan betrothal money from A Yao in advance, they became proud.
On the one hand, they disliked A Yao because he couldn't speak, had no household registration, and was a foreigner; on the other hand, they felt that since A Yao's family was willing to pay 500 yuan... then there must be other families willing to pay a higher gift price to marry Wang Yanyan!
After asking around, it turned out that no one was willing to marry Wang Yanyan!
So, in the end, Wang Aqi changed his idea of comparing prices from three different stores to just raising his own price.
He had a great idea!
——The 500 yuan that A Yao’s family gave him was spent as soon as he received it! So A Yao wants to marry Wang Yanyan? Sure, bring another five thousand dollars. Four thousand yuan was used to pay off his gambling debts, and the remaining one thousand yuan was used to help Wang Yanyan's two younger brothers get married. If each son spends 500 yuan to marry his daughter-in-law, the wedding will be guaranteed to be a grand occasion!
Hearing this, Taotao suddenly realized.
After thinking for a while, she asked Wang Lulu, "So what do you think?"
Wang Lulu glanced at A Yao, blushed and lowered her head, "I, I... thought this way, my seventh uncle and seventh aunt spent all the money my mother left me, and I couldn't pursue it. After all... anyway, I've survived to this day. Aunt, based on my understanding of my seventh uncle and seventh aunt, you can't get back the five hundred yuan, they've already spent it all..."
"I really like A Yao, and I don't look down on him... On the contrary, I think he is very capable, more capable than all the young men in our village! If he and his family are willing to stay, I, I am also a villager, I can also get a share of the land, and we can build two houses next to each other, so that we can take care of each other in the future..." As she spoke, Wang Lulu's voice became smaller and smaller.
Tao Tao asked again, "What about Wang Yanyan? Does she like A Yao?"
A Yao frowned and made a few gestures anxiously.
Wang Lulu looked at him for a while and explained to Taotao, "Ayao said that Yanyan doesn't like him. Every time she comes to him, she wants something... She also scolds him very badly. Ayao said that he doesn't want to marry Yanyan."
Taotao looked at Ayao.
A Yao nodded, affirming Wang Lulu's translation.
Taotao smiled.
——Just because this girl can understand A Yao’s sign language, she also believes that Wang Lulu likes A Yao somewhat.
So Tao Tao stood up and said, "Okay, then I'll go and replace your Second Aunt...you tell her about this situation!"
As she spoke, Taotao walked forward, patted Bai Zhenzhu on the shoulder, and motioned her to step back.
White Pearl is inexplicable.
But A Yao had already come over, grabbed the corner of her clothes, and led her to the back.
Bai Zhenzhu, Wang Lulu and A Yao gathered together and started whispering.
Taotao's strategy is simple.
——Since Wang Yanyan is at home, she will force Wang Yanyan out. The parties involved must explain the matter clearly in person.
So she said, "Gift money and the like are all customs! Now is a new society, it's already the 1980s, we don't want arranged marriages, we want freedom of love! So... today, let Wang Yanyan speak for herself, whether she is willing to marry A Yao!"
"If she is willing to marry A Yao, then you as parents can only give reference opinions and cannot go against her true wishes!" Tao Tao said.
Wang Aqi was completely fascinated by Taotao's beauty.
He stared at Taotao with his eyes wide open, and said, "...I do! I do!"
Taotao: ...
Tao Tao suppressed her nausea and asked again, "Then are you willing to return the gift money?"
Wang Ah Qi looked at the beauty, his eyes widened and his eyebrows smiled, "I wish..."
“Pah—”
A crisp slapping sound was heard, and Yanyan's mother slapped Wang Aqi hard!
Wang Ah Qi woke up, got furious, and slapped Yan Yan's mother...
The couple started fighting again.
Tao Tao immediately took advantage of the chaos and shouted, "Wang Yanyan! Your mother agreed to cancel the engagement! Your mother is almost beaten to death by your father!"
Sure enough, a young girl rushed out of the house and shouted, "I don't agree to cancel the engagement!"
Taotao subconsciously looked at A Yao and Wang Lulu.
The two looked at Wang Yanyan with complicated eyes.
Taotao began to look at Wang Yanyan - this girl looked 50% similar to Wang Lulu. Wang Lulu looks like a simple working person, but Wang Yanyan's facial features and temperament look much more delicate, beautiful and fashionable.
Although today is the day when Wang Yanyan and A Yao are getting engaged, Wang Yanyan didn't dress up much. She wore a half-worn floral dress. It seemed that her dress and temperament were no different from those of a city girl.
Taotao looked at Wang Lulu and A Yao again.
To be honest, A Yao is just a very simple rural young man, and his temperament is very compatible with Wang Lulu. As for Wang Yanyan...if she and A Yao stood together, they would look totally mismatched in terms of dress and temperament.
Tao Tao said to Wang Yanyan in a friendly manner: "Since you also don't agree to cancel the engagement, that's great. Let's go to the banquet now! You and A Yao should go and toast!"
Then she turned to the Wang couple who were wrestling with each other and said, "See, this matter can be easily resolved, right?"
As a result, Wang Yanyan took another step back, "No, no! I can't go to the engagement party! I, I can't get engaged to a mute!"
After hearing this, Bai Zhenzhu got angry!
——She had just listened to Wang Lulu's story about this coincidental relationship, and was furious for having arranged the relationship. Now I heard Wang Yanyan say with my own ears that A Yao was a mute...
Even if A Yao is a mute, people who truly love and care about him will definitely not say that about him!
Bai Zhenzhu also stepped forward and said to Wang Yanyan, "It's okay if we don't have an engagement. Then let's treat today as a wedding banquet! Let's go, let's go now!"
Bai Zhenzhu also heard Taotao’s words just now.
She is not well educated, but has travelled extensively over the years and is very knowledgeable. Soon, I realized that Tao Tao had successfully forced Wang Yanyan out of the house, and she was yelling at Wang Yanyan to go to the engagement party and toast...
This move is called retreating to advance!

Wang Aqi was afraid that Bai Zhenzhu would have to cancel the engagement and return the money, so he was so anxious that his eyes turned red and he spoke without thinking.
Wang Yanyan was stunned and screamed, "Dad!"
Bai Zhenzhu also got angry, "More money? Absolutely impossible! And today... our family spent 200 yuan on the wedding banquet! I tell you, Wang Aqi, my A Yao must get married today! I don't care about engagement or not, today is the wedding banquet! If you dare to stop me..."
