Chapter 254: Breaking off the Engagement 1
Yike pulled Ziyi, and Ziyi had to give up hitting him. He threatened, "Chen Shengli, if you hit Yike again next time, get out of here. We don't welcome you here. Don't say we were rude to you then!"
"You're welcome. You call that polite. She hurt my hand, and you say I hit her. Where did I hurt her? Take it out and let me see." Chen Shengli said angrily.
"That's a sign of your ability. If you don't have that ability, your fist, as an adult, would probably take her life with just one punch. If it happens again, it won't be just a small injury." Ziyi said coldly.
"Haha, do you dare to take my life?" Although Chen Shengli was afraid of Ziyi, he still insisted on being stubborn.
"Haha, I dare not, but I can let you lie in bed forever." Ziyi said without thinking.
"Chen Shengli, isn't it time to settle our accounts now?" Li Youcai stepped forward and said.
Chen Shengli was half bent over, feeling pain all over his body, but he was too embarrassed to moan, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it. When he wanted to go back to the house, he was blocked by Li Youcai again.
"What accounts do we have to settle? You're not going to bully me just because you have more people, are you?" Chen Shengli said with a threatening look.
"Haha, my Xiaoying was scolded by you for no reason, and you still say that we bullied you? Do you still have any shame? If I really bully you, I will slap you." Li Youcai also said with a threatening face.
Chen Hongmei stepped forward and slapped Chen Shengli in the face without saying a word, "I'm going to hit you, you shameless man. A man in his forties bullies a teenage girl. You call her ugly and say she clings to your son. With a father like you, my little Yingcai doesn't need you."
Chen Shengli was slapped in the face, and in anger he raised his hand to hit Shen Hongmei. Li Youcai stepped forward and pulled Shen Hongmei behind him, and Chen Dawang also quickly grabbed his father.
"Did I say something wrong? Her face is ruined and her legs are disabled. How can she be worthy of my Da Wang? Didn't you want to cancel the engagement before? Now that you know no one wants her, you don't want to cancel the engagement. Aren't you clinging to my Da Wang?" As soon as Chen Shengli finished speaking, Chen Da Wang desperately dragged his father into the room.
"Dad, please stop saying that. It's not Xiaoying who clings to me, it's me who loves her and I cling to her every day. I beg you, please don't do that anymore, okay?" Chen Dawang pleaded.
"Wait, let me make things clear today. Chen Shengli, listen carefully, from today on, the engagement between my Xiaoying and your Dawang is cancelled, and you can marry freely in the future. From today on, if I hear you scolding my daughter again, I will no longer show you mercy." Li Youcai said angrily.
"No, I don't agree. I don't agree to cancel the engagement, Uncle Li, please, don't cancel our engagement. I like Xiaoying, I have been waiting for her to grow up and become my wife since she was born. Now you say to cancel the engagement, I don't agree." Chen Dawang shouted anxiously.
"Yes, his uncle, let's not cancel it. The two children like each other, and we can't let the children be sad." Tao Xiu'e also quickly joined in.
"Refund, refund. She was the one who wanted to cancel it in the first place. Why shouldn't she refund now that she's disabled? I say refund, so she refunds. Humph!" Chen Shengli snorted.
"With a father like you, only a fool would marry into your family." Shen Hongmei said sarcastically.
"I don't agree, I don't agree, Uncle Li, please, don't cancel the engagement, okay? Please!" Chen Dawang begged Li Youcai anxiously.
"Da Wang, you are a good boy. It's my Xiaoying who is not worthy of you. You should find someone else." Li Youcai said regretfully.
"No, I don't want anyone else. I want to marry Xiaoying. If you don't agree, I will take Xiaoying with me." Chen Dawang was so angry that he spoke without thinking.
"Da Wang, you've seen it. It's not that we don't agree, it's just that your father is like this. Do you want Xiaoying to suffer after marrying you? You have to take her out of the mountains and live somewhere else. You can't do anything reckless." Li Youcai was frightened by Chen Da Wang's words, so he advised him earnestly.
"Go back. There's no need for our two families to have any contact with each other in the future." Li Youcai said and walked back.
Chen Shengli walked into the room angrily. Tao Xiu'e sat on the ground in a daze. Chen Fugui hugged his mother's arm and looked blankly at the noisy crowd. Chen Dawang sat on the ground against the wall, holding his head in his hands and muttering, "I don't agree, I don't agree."
Yi Ke looked at Chen Da Wang with sympathy and followed Zi Yi back. Hu Haohan and his wife came over later, helped Tao Xiu'e, who was sitting on the ground, up, and took her back to the room.
Hu Xiangdong went over to help Chen Dawang. Chen Dawang raised his head, looked at Hu Xiangdong, moved his lips, but in the end, he said nothing. He stood up silently and walked back to his room.
Hu Haohan and his family didn't want to stay in Chen Shengli's house for long, so they said a few words of comfort to Tao Xiu'e and went home.
Chen Dawang entered the room, lay down on the bed, and covered his head with the quilt. When Tao Xiu'e went in and saw her son like this, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
She sat beside her son's bed and whispered to comfort him: "Da Wang, don't be sad, we will slowly find a way. As long as you and Xiaoying insist on being together, your Uncle Li and the others will agree in the end." "Mom, it's not a question of whether Uncle Li agrees or not. Uncle Li is right. With my father's temper, Xiaoying will suffer if she marries into our family. My father will definitely make her suffer. You said, he is the father, and the word "filial piety" will suppress Xiaoying and she will have to endure it. I don't want her to suffer by marrying me." Chen Da Wang covered his face with the quilt and cried quietly.
Tao Xiu'e also fell silent. She had lived that kind of life in her husband's family before. She knew that her parents-in-law had many ways to torture their daughter-in-law, and as a daughter-in-law, she could not resist, otherwise it would be considered unfilial.
Both mother and son didn't know what to do, but Li Xiaoying on the other side exploded.
"Mom, what did you say? You canceled my marriage with Brother Da Wang? You broke off the engagement? Why?" Li Xiaoying asked loudly.
"Why? Your uncle Chen humiliated you so much, can you still marry him? Will you have a good life if you marry him? Can you marry into such a family?" Shen Hongmei also answered loudly.
"But, but I like Brother Da Wang. I promised Brother Da Wang that I must marry him, and I can't go back on my word. If Brother Da Wang hadn't saved me that night, I would have died long ago. At that time, I swore to marry Brother Da Wang, and Brother Da Wang also swore not to marry any other woman except me. Brother Da Wang would definitely not agree. Did he not agree, Mom? Did he?" Li Xiaoying asked anxiously.
"Yes, your brother Dawang strongly opposed it, but so what? It's the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Both parents agree. Can it be false? Is it useful if he disagrees? Xiaoying, be obedient. We can find another one later." Shen Hongmei advised.
"No, if the person I'm looking for isn't Brother Da Wang, I'm going to marry Brother Da Wang. I don't care, I'm going to marry Brother Da Wang, and I won't marry anyone else." After saying this, Li Xiaoying grabbed the quilt and covered her head without saying anything.
Chen Hongmei was helpless as she watched her daughter throwing a tantrum, so she had to go back to her husband to discuss a solution.
The two unfortunate couples were both covered in their quilts and were sad...
