Chapter 145: Proposal? We are here to cancel the engagement
"Yaqin's mother, why do I feel like your in-laws' face doesn't look right?" An old lady noticed something was wrong and spoke up.
"Really? How come I didn't notice it? Maybe she's tired because she's going to come tomorrow to propose marriage." Thinking back to when they came to her house to propose marriage, she was told to ask for anything and be as enthusiastic as she wanted. Her face looked wrong? How could it be possible!
Tomorrow is the day for the betrothal, and I have to go home and prepare well. They just want to see their daughter marry well and sow discord between her and her in-laws so that the marriage will not take place!
"I saw it clearly, why would I lie to you? What's more, she didn't even say hello. She really doesn't take people seriously." The lady who spoke was close to Luo Yaqin's family, and she gave a kind reminder.
"Don't talk nonsense here. My in-laws are very nice. They are not the kind of people you are talking about. You are just jealous that my Yaqin has found a good marriage. If you have the ability, you can go first."
Luo Yaqin's mother Wei Juan was seen with her hands on her hips and her chin raised high, criticizing others in a harsh tone. The muscles on her face trembled slightly with anger, and her eyes were full of disdain and ridicule.
When everyone heard her say this, they shut up obediently. If they weren't for the fact that they were all family, they wouldn't bother to care about her family's affairs. She usually acted superior, as if everything around her was not in her eyes and was not worthy of her status.
It's just that the daughter you gave birth to is prettier. What's there to be proud of? Ugh.
Wei Juan is of medium height and slightly plump. Although she is over 40, she still has charm. Luo Yaqin inherited her good looks and has a pretty and delicate appearance. All the men in the nearby villages are drooling over her.
Wei Juan hummed a little tune and went home happily. She didn't take their words to heart. When she reached the door of her house, she ran into Luo Yaqin who had just returned. "Where have you been again, you little girl? Didn't I tell you last night not to run around? The Lin family will come to propose marriage tomorrow."
"Mom, there is nothing bad happening in the village, right?" Luo Yaqin asked a little worriedly.
"No, why are you asking this? Have you done anything to let your family down?" Wei Juan looked over with sharp eyes.
Luo Yaqin was frightened and couldn't help complaining: "Why are you so loud? You scared me to death. Marry into the He family!"
"What are you talking about? You're about to get married but you still don't behave properly. Why don't you go home quickly? If you dare to do anything bad, I'll break your legs."
"Got it!" Luo Yaqin walked into the house impatiently. She didn't know where the two men came from. It had been a whole morning and the village was calm. It seemed that they would not come and gossip. But she felt uneasy in her heart and always felt that something was going to happen.
Feeling uneasy, I waited until the next day.
After Aunt Chunhua returned to the village, she told the village chief and her family what happened today. The village chief slammed the table and said, "The people from Luojia Village are really going too far. Do they think there is no one in our Taoxi Village? How dare they deceive our villagers so openly? Lin family, I will go with you tomorrow. Don't worry, the village will take care of this matter for you."
In this era, marriage is not just a matter between two families, but also concerns the good and bad of two villages. If such an immoral thing happens, the village will definitely intervene.
"Village chief, fortunately our family has not offered a betrothal gift, so there is still room for improvement. However, the Luo family is too much. Luo Yaqin dared to fool around with a man in broad daylight and even claimed that they were husband and wife. We cannot marry such a person back to our village.
Tomorrow, not only will they cancel the marriage, but they will also have to apologize to us, otherwise I will make a big fuss about this matter and see who dares to marry the daughter of their Luojia Village." Anger made Aunt Chunhua lose her usual calmness, and she looked like an active volcano about to erupt.
After working so hard for so long, it was all for nothing. It would be a lie to say that they were not angry. After hearing about this, the Lin family couldn't wait to visit them.
On the second day, the village chief took several villagers, including Aunt Chunhua's family, to Luojia Village. Yao Qingnian was worried that Aunt Chunhua might not be able to handle it, so he followed them.
The group of people was so powerful that the ladies at the entrance of the village saw so many people coming towards the village from afar. They thought they were coming to Luo Yaqin's house to propose marriage. It seemed that they were bringing a lot of good things, so they hurried to Luo Yaqin's house to report the news.
"Yaqin's mother, someone is coming, hurry up and get ready."
"You're here so soon, great!" Wei Juan happily adjusted the hairpin on her head and stood at the door looking towards the village entrance. She had dressed up carefully today.
"I'm coming!"
Seeing that the village chief and the Lin family had arrived, Wei Juan thought to herself that the He family was really sensible and knew to find someone to help out. But as they got closer, the more she looked, the more something seemed wrong. Why did they all seem to come empty-handed? Could it be that the things were still behind?
Yes, that’s definitely the case. It’s hard to hold so many things in your hands.
Seeing He Chunhua, she hurried over with a smile and said, "My dear, you are here so early. Please come in and have a seat."
"Shut up, who is your relative! Call your village chief over, and tell Luo Yaqin to get out as well!" Aunt Chunhua shouted loudly, which immediately attracted the attention of nearby villagers. They were all from the same village, and when they saw the Lin family rushing over, they realized that something was wrong, so they asked someone to ask the village chief to come over, and they surrounded the door of Luo Yaqin's house.
"What's going on? Everything was fine the day before yesterday. We agreed that today is a good day for engagement." Wei Juan looked at so many people and still didn't understand what was going on.
"We are here to cancel the engagement."
"What the hell, breaking off the engagement? Lin family, what are you crazy about so early in the morning? You said you want to get married, so you get married, and you can break off the engagement if you want. How can our Yaqin put her face?! If you don't explain clearly today, don't blame us in Luojia Village for being rude." Wei Juan is usually a difficult person to get along with. When she heard this, she immediately got angry.
"That's what we wanted to say!" He Chunhua replied bluntly.
When the village chief of Luojia Village heard the news, he hurried over and saw that Luo Yaqin's house was surrounded by people. When they saw the village chief coming, they made way for him and asked, "Dagang, why are you here? What happened?"
Luojia Village and Taoxi Village are close to each other, and there are many intermarriages between the two villages. The two village chiefs are old acquaintances.
He invited the village chief and others to sit in the yard of Luo Yaqin's house and talk about anything.
"Lao Luo, what your village did was not right. How could this married woman hide the fact and marry the young man from our village?"
"What nonsense are you talking about! How could my innocent daughter Yaqin get married to you? You are slandering my daughter, I will tear your mouths apart." When Wei Juan heard the village chief say this, she rushed forward and wanted to attack.
