"You want to cancel the engagement? No way!" came the angry voice of the woman in the compound.
"Don't think that I don't know that your Yang family has climbed up the social ladder and that I'm planning to disown our marriage."
The courtyard was filled with a noisy crowd of people who were watching the excitement.
The person who spoke was Jiang Mei, Xu Hai's wife. She had recently heard from her younger sister that Yang Wenbing was close to a girl outside, but she didn't believe it.
There are many families living in the compound, and no one can hide anything. It can be said that every household has no secrets. If you speak a little louder, the neighbors can hear you.
Yesterday afternoon, Xu Hai carried his second daughter to see a doctor. The doctor said that she was weak and sickly, so he asked her to take good care of her and not let her get tired or stimulated.
Now the Yang family is going to use their big move.
Xu Hai, the head of the Xu family, is a technician in a steel plant. The schedule at the plant was tight, so he left early in the morning.
Today, Jiang Mei was worried about her daughter, so she took a leave of absence and stayed at home. She was washing clothes on the washing table in the yard when she heard two footsteps outside the door.
The visitors were the second daughter's fiancée, Zhou Li and her son, Yang Wenbing.
"Hey, Sister Zhou, how come you have time to come to the compound today?" Jiang Mei put down the clothes in her hand and greeted her with a smile.
Zhou Li, who had a stern face and was asking who owed her money, said with a forced smile, "Xu family, I heard that your second child is unconscious outside again? This problem that he was born with is really incurable."
Who are you mocking in such a sarcastic way?
Jiang Mei didn't like what she heard, and the smile on her face disappeared. "If you're here to see my daughter, then talk nicely, otherwise leave now."
"Oh, it's not really that bad, it has to be taken good care of, because it might die someday."
"Zhou Li, watch your mouth. My daughter is fine." Jiang Mei was furious. This vicious woman was simply unbearable.
"I'm here today to break off the engagement. Look at your daughter. She keeps fainting and running to the hospital. She's a sickly sickly person. She might not even be able to have children!
My son Wen Bing is going to continue the Yang family's lineage, so he can't be delayed because of this sickly child of yours."
Zhou Li's sharp voice was particularly harsh.
Such sarcastic and harsh words, after hearing them, what about the reputation of Xu family's daughter? They want to ruin her!
Jiang Mei looked at Zhou Li viciously, "It was your father who came to ask for this marriage. Over the years, my daughter has brought so many good things to your house.
Just when the two families were about to place the engagement, you came to cancel the engagement. Is your Yang family so shameless? "
He didn't come early or late, but came at the time when there were many people getting off work to cancel the engagement with great fanfare. He just wanted to destroy his daughter's reputation.
The onlookers were immediately in an uproar.
Living in Willow Lane, everyone knows that the Xu family's second daughter was born prematurely and is weak and sickly. The Xu family holds her in their mouths for fear that she will melt, and holds her in their hands for fear that she will fall.
I have parents who spoil me, so I have to buy whatever I want even if I save money.
She was coaxed by her younger siblings, and the elder sister felt sorry for her younger sister, so she didn't let her do any housework.
The younger brother has been naughty since he was young. Knowing that his sister is in poor health, he often quarrels with her and often makes himself angry to death.
Of course, you won’t win the lawsuit, and you might even get beaten with a feather duster by your mother.
Xu Zhiyi was spoiled into having a bad temper. Not only was she spoiled and domineering, but she was also a pure love-brained person.
The previous generation of the Yang family had done the Xu family a favor, and as the daughters-in-law of both families happened to be pregnant at the same time, they agreed to arrange a marriage for the children.
Xu Zhiyi knew from a young age that the young man from the Yang family in the next alley was her fiancé, and she liked chasing after Yang Wenbing since she was a child.
When he was a child, Yang Wenbing liked this fair and cute little sister very much. When he grew up, Yang Wenbing looked like a well-mannered intellectual with a lot of thoughts.
Xu Zhiyi has liked Yang Wenbing since she was a child, and even more so when she grew up.
In this era of severe material scarcity, she gave all the eggs her family had saved for her and the malted milk they had bought to nourish her body to Yang Wenbing.
Speaking of Yang Wenbing, he is a particularly serious literary youth. He has two faces in front of people and behind their backs, and he is always pretending.
He was cold and impatient towards Xu Zhiyi in public, but was affectionate and affectionate behind her back. The scumbag pretended to be affectionate, but he managed to make this girl, who was as dumb as a blank sheet of paper, completely bewildered.
What he said was actually my brother Wenbing, which made Brother Xu very angry.
There are no secrets in the compound.
Xu Zhiyi's bold and extraordinary behavior could not be hidden from the women in the compound.
Every woman in every family is thrifty and knows a little bit about the ways of the world. Although the two are related, I haven't seen the Yang family send any gifts to the Xu family.
The gossipy women in the compound gossip a lot behind people's backs.
Even Xia Dahua, who was at odds with Jiang Mei, had used this matter to ridicule Jiang Mei several times.
Jiang Mei had argued many times over this, and she always lost because of her disappointing daughter. She couldn't hit her, couldn't scold her, and was so angry that her chest hurt.
"My daughter is fine, you stinky bitch, you're just spewing ivory out of your dog's mouth."
Amidst the noise, an angry voice of a middle-aged man was heard outside. It was Xu Hai who had just returned from work.
Seeing Xu Hai's furious look, Yang Wenbing quietly took a small step back to Zhou's mother, and hid behind Zhou's mother's big body without any expression.
"It was my family who kindly lent your family grain to help us get through the difficult times. Your father personally came to our house to arrange a marriage for my daughter. We originally refused to agree, but we only agreed after you repeatedly promised to treat my daughter as your own daughter.
What's going on? Your Yang Wenbing has found a good future, so he turned his back on me! "
