335 Exposed
“Okay.” Li Hehua was about to leave.
“There’s no need,” Lin Xicui’s father rejected her with a straight face.
Liu Guixia’s smile froze for a moment before she smiled again. “My husband has already gone to the workshop on the mountain. I’ll call him back before we start.”
Lin Xicui’s mother smiled. “Guixia, there’s no need to come back home. We just came here to do something. we’ll leave after we’re done.”
“What’s the matter?” Xue Wufu immediately asked. They had just been talking about why this family didn’t come last night, and now they were here today. He was expecting them to demand their fortune just like the rest.
“Wufu!” Liu Guixia chided him and then smiled. “If there’s anything you need, just say it.”
Lin Xicui’s mother looked at Xue Sanfu, who was standing straighter than the door of the central room and smiled at Liu Guixia, “To be honest, it’s my family that has to let your family down. You should also know that people strive for higher things.”
She took out a money bag and placed it on the table. She smiled and said, “This is the three hundred coins that your family gave when Sanfu and Xicui were engaged. Fortunately, we haven’t sent our betrothal gifts yet, so it won’t be troublesome to settle everything now.”
Liu Guixua understood the sentence, and the smile on her face disappeared. “What do you mean?”
“It’s simple. We’re here to cancel the engagement between Sanfu and Xicui.” Xicui’s father said.
Hearing this, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan exchanged a look.
It’s happening.
When Xue Wufu heard this, he exploded, “At the beginning, it was you who let the matchmaker set Sanfu and her up. Now you want to cancel the engagement?! Do you think you can bully us just like that?”
“That was then. Times have changed.” Lin fan’s father said impolitely. “We didn’t know that your family would stay the same even after the engagement!”
“What’s wrong with our family? Isn’t our family doing fine now?” Yu Hongyan couldn’t help but choke.
“Only in our village. You’re nothing like the families in town!” Lin Xicui’s father was impolite.
Xue Sifu understood what he meant and habitually smiled, “So, you don’t like my family at all, but you’re interested in the town’s families. They’re quite rich, and you want to marry your daughter to that family in town, right?”
These words were enough to show how smart Xue Sifu was. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were not surprised by the remark.
Lin Xicui’s father, Lin Xicui’s mother, and Lin Xicui immediately panicked. They didn’t expect that they would be exposed.
However, since things had come to this, they had already shed all pretense of cordiality, so Lin Xicui’s mother stopped pretending and said rather rudely, “Exactly, and what are you going to do about that?! Cancel the wedding?!”
Xue Sifu laughed even more, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes, “May I ask which family in town you are aiming for?”
When Lin Xicui’s mother heard his question, she immediately straightened her back and said with a face full of glory, “The Feng family! All the fields here belong to that family!”
“They don’t have a son. That man is sixty years old, and he has a wife. Is your daughter going to be a concubine?” Xue Sifu smiled.
Lin Xicui’s mother’s face immediately turned red, but she immediately straightened her back and said proudly, “So what if she is! As long as my daughter can give birth to a son for him, everything he has will belong to my daughter and her son!”
At this moment, Lin Xicui’s mother was like a big colander, leaking their whole plan inside out.
Liu Guixia’s face turned ugly when she heard the story. She could not believe that that was the reason why they wanted to cancel the engagement.
