Zhao Hui's face paled slightly. After all these years, in her mother-in-law's eyes, she was still not family.
Nan Wenxuan felt that his mother's words were a bit too much, but in the end, it was his wife's fault. Besides, his parents were still angry, so he had no choice but to pretend not to hear.
No one spoke up for Zhao Hui, and only then did Zhao Hui realize that she had made a mistake.
Nan Kai said irritably, "You can go out and tell everyone tomorrow. Everyone in the village knows who Zhao Laizi is. My Nan family's daughter may not be worth much, but she will never marry such a scoundrel."
If Zhao Wulai really becomes their son-in-law, there will be endless trouble in the future.
"I heard that guy never learns anything good and has a lot of debt. If he comes knocking on our door and asks us to pay it off, then the Nan family's days are numbered."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hui panicked, wondering what to do.
Seeing that her daughter-in-law remained silent, Shu Zhizhen guessed at a certain possibility.
"You wouldn't have already made a deal with the Zhao family, would you?"
Zhao Hui knelt down with a thud.
"You stupid brat! Why didn't your parents give you even half a brain? You're an absolute idiot..."
The two elders of the Nan family cursed for half the afternoon, while Zhao Hui knelt on the ground, not daring to utter a sound, silently shedding tears.
Nan Zhi stood aside, not bothering to watch the show. She wanted to hear what the Nan family planned to do next. If they couldn't handle the matter well, she would have to take action herself.
"Father, Mother, what should we do now?" Nan Wenxuan, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up to rescue his wife.
Nankai: "Make it clear to the Zhao family that this marriage is off."
Zhao Hui looked up, her eyes red from crying.
"Father, Mother, I'm afraid it won't work." He said, taking out ten taels of silver from his pocket and placing it on the ground.
If she had been thinking about that little bit of money before, she really wouldn't dare now.
"You, you, you, you even accepted money from the Zhao family!" Shu Zhizhen was almost driven mad with anger.
Nanzhi stepped forward to pat her back and help her catch her breath.
Nankai stood up, picked up the broom beside him, and was about to hit Zhao Hui with it.
“Father,” Nan Wenxuan stood in front of Zhao Hui, “the marriage is already arranged. What should we do now? Even if you beat her to death, we still have to resolve this matter.”
Nankai snapped out of his daze, dropped what he was holding, and sat down weakly on the ground.
Since ancient times, accepting betrothal gifts signifies a marriage between the two families, and there is no reason to break off the engagement. However, people like Zhao Laizi only bring misery to the Nan family.
