“But we can’t keep hiding from her forever…” Xiao Xuemei said worriedly.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Yunsheng suggested, "How about we ask the village head for help? Or we can simply report it to the authorities and let them handle it."
"No!" Granny Yang quickly waved her hand. "Family scandals shouldn't be aired in public. If this gets out of hand, where will the Xiao family's reputation be?"
"What should we do then?" Xiao Xuemei looked at everyone helplessly.
At this moment, Xiao Jingchuan spoke up, "I have an idea. Since Granny Tian wants a child, let's give her one..."
"Give it to whom? Where are we going to get a child for her?" Shen Yunsheng asked, puzzled.
Xiao Jingchuan smiled and revealed his plan: "We can select a few orphans to give to her and help her resolve her worries."
Granny Yang was the first to object, "You...your plan won't work. She's not his biological child, Granny Tian definitely won't want her."
Xiao Jingchuan smirked, "It's better if she doesn't want them. I was worried that if those children fell into her hands, she would kill them."
Granny Yang muttered in dissatisfaction, "Isn't this just a waste of time?"
Shen Yunsheng looked at Granny Yang with a mocking expression. "Old lady, you arranged this marriage. You definitely know Granny Tian better than any of us. Why don't you go and persuade Granny Tian to stop causing trouble?"
Granny Yang's face flushed red. "I...I didn't know they were such bad people. If I had known earlier, I definitely wouldn't have agreed to this marriage."
Xiao Jingchuan sneered, "Grandma! Your judgment of people is terrible. I advise you to help Pearl break off the engagement with the Li family. Don't let her follow in my elder sister's footsteps."
Xiao Zhenzhu felt depressed whenever she thought about the marriage. Although the old lady said it was just a fake engagement, she was still very worried.
After understanding Xiao Jingchuan's meaning, Shen Yunsheng casually chimed in, "Pearl, your eldest sister is a living example. You must never easily trust the old lady's judgment. She married the wrong person, and your life is ruined."
Qiu was also worried about her daughter. Although the dowry offered by Li Tianci's family was quite generous, she still did not want her daughter to marry Li Tianci.
“Pearl! I think your second brother is right. Before you get married, you still have a chance to back out.”
Xiao Xuemei also advised Xiao Zhenzhu to think carefully. Although Li Tianci's parents were not abusive, Li Tianci was sickly. If she married him, she would be living a life of widowhood at any time.
When Granny Yang saw that Qiu was still trying to persuade Xiao Zhenzhu, she slapped Qiu twice across the face.
"Ignorant fool! Someone just said a few words to stir things up, and you're already encouraging Pearl to break off the engagement. Do you want her back?"
