"Dashan, I suspect you've been tricked by the Jingchuan family. Maybe it was even her idea to break off the engagement with Master Huang!"
Li Dashan was taken aback. He carefully recalled the events of the past few days and also felt that Shen Yunsheng was somewhat suspicious.
"Auntie, you can't say things like that!"
"Grandma, my second sister-in-law isn't that kind of person. She wouldn't bother deceiving Uncle Dashan." Xiao Zhenzhu felt that her grandmother was overthinking things. Although Shen Yunsheng knew Master Huang, she didn't have the power to influence him.
Granny Yang sneered, "Don't forget that she and Hongyu are good friends. She would do anything for Hongyu."
Li Dashan, recalling what had happened that day, also found Shen Yunsheng and his wife very suspicious.
Seeing that Li Dashan remained silent, Granny Yang continued, "Dashan! Scholars value their reputation most. If word gets to the academy that you sold your daughter, your Qingyun's future will be ruined."
After listening to Granny Yang's words, Li Dashan wavered somewhat. He felt that what Granny Yang said seemed to make some sense. However, he was also worried that if things escalated, it would be detrimental to him.
Old Mrs. Yang saw through his thoughts and said, "If you're afraid of trouble, then forget it. Anyway, your daughter isn't coming back. But let me remind you, if you miss this opportunity, you won't have such good luck again."
Li Dashan wasn't stupid; he could tell that Granny Yang wanted to use someone else to do her dirty work.
“Auntie, I appreciate your kindness. Although Jingchuan did wrong, he is still your grandson. If I sue him, I'm just sue you.”
Seeing the hidden meaning in Li Dashan's words, Xiao Zhenzhu quickly tried to smooth things over, "Uncle Dashan! You must have misheard. My grandmother would never let you sue my second brother."
Grandma Yang and her granddaughter exchanged a glance and said, "Dashan, don't you find it strange? The Jingchuan family had only been at your house for a few days when the Huang family broke off the engagement and even made you pay a penalty for breach of contract."
At this moment, a seed of doubt had been planted in Li Dashan's heart. He chatted with Granny Yang for a few words and then left in a hurry.
After buying their things, Granny Yang and Xiao Zhenzhu hired a carriage to go home.
Yanzi Town, South Street Intersection
Shen Yunsheng had been waiting for a long time. When she saw her husband and father-in-law coming over together, she casually asked them a question.
"Husband, where is Hongyu? Didn't she see you?"
"She's with Aunt Xiang, so we don't need to wait for her."
Xiao Jingchuan took a breath before telling his wife about Li Dashan's situation.
After hearing this, Shen Yunsheng also felt that Li Dashan was a scoundrel. If her husband returned Li Hongyu to Li Dashan, Li Hongyu's life would be ruined.
When his son mentioned Li Dashan, Xiao Wenjing couldn't help but complain, "Jingchuan's son, you should never talk to Li Dashan again. He's no good."
"Don't worry, Father, I definitely won't pay any attention to him." Shen Yunsheng chuckled to himself. You're no better than me. Although you didn't sell your children, you often helped that old vile woman bully your own people.
Seeing a chicken coop next to his wife, Xiao Jingchuan asked with a smile, "Wife, did you buy these chickens?"
"Yes, I bought it."
Shen Yunsheng casually made up a story, saying that she had bought too many things and planned to hire a car to go home.
After chatting for a few minutes, Shen Yunsheng and Xiao Jingchuan saw a carriage slowly approaching.
"Driver, could you please help us load our things into the carriage?"
When Xiao Wenjing saw his daughter-in-law buying pig offal, he couldn't help but complain. He said that even if the pig offal were given away for free, no one would want it. His daughter-in-law really knew how to waste money.
Xiao Jingchuan ignored his father, paid the fare, and then helped his wife and father into the car.
Throughout the journey, Shen Yunsheng kept thinking about Li Dashan's matter; she always felt that this matter was not so simple.
Dahe Village, Xiao Family Compound
As soon as Shen Yunsheng arrived home, Min Xiaoqian ran towards her crying.
"Sister-in-law, please go and see my husband. He has regained consciousness, but he won't say a word."
