Ye Zhankui's face turned pale: "That's enough, isn't it embarrassing enough?"

Tian's voice became louder: "Are we just going to let it go like this? If this gets out, will Lian'er still be able to see people?"

"Just speak louder so everyone can hear it." Ye Zhankui suppressed his voice.

"We can't just let it go like this. We can't lose both our reputation and our dignity. I have to make the Qian family bleed heavily."

Since coming to Wanning Prefecture, their family has been living a difficult life and encountering setbacks everywhere. They thought that finally there would be a happy event that could wash away their family's bad luck, but they didn't expect this to be the result.

There was a lot of noise in the hall, and Ye Lian'er was already in tears in her room.

Why, why is the result like this.

Doesn't he like himself?

Why did he propose marriage and then break it off? How could she face people in the future?

In the other room, Ye Hai could not hear the quarrel outside at all. His mind was full of the images of Ye Shian, his mother and daughter.

The way they dress, talk, and move have long lost the appearance of Huaishu Village. In such a short period of time, their family seems to have been reborn.

He learned from Zhang Sanjin that they had built a house in the countryside and were living a prosperous life.

How could they become so rich? When they broke off the relationship, they had nothing. How could there be such a big change in just a few months?

If he had not learned about their situation from Zhang Sanjin, he would really have thought that his aunt had done something shameful.

How to do?

Do you want to tell your family?

Once grandma finds out, she will definitely come to his house. Will he still be able to work there then?

A month's work is not a small amount of money, but if grandma goes to find them, will she get more?

Finally he heard the quarrel outside. Ye Hai sat up straight on the bed and walked out.

"Okay, stop arguing. Have you ever thought about Lian'er?"

Tian glared at her son angrily: "Aren't we going to vent her anger?"

Old Lady Ye said angrily, "No, I'll go now. We can't just let this go."

After all she said, she just couldn't get over it. In one word, this marriage was off the table. It was impossible.

If she didn't make the Qian family bleed a little, Old Lady Ye would not be named Wu.

Ever since she came to Wanning Mansion, Old Lady Ye had just restrained her temper. But now that she had encountered this incident, she could no longer bear it and started banging on the door when she arrived at Qian's house.

Hearing the sound of banging on the door outside, the scholar's mother put on her clothes and ran out quickly.

Qian Cheng came out of the room, and the scholar's wife grabbed him and said, "Don't show up in this matter. Let me handle it."

Qian Cheng endured it again and again, but was finally pushed back to his room by the scholar's mother.

The Qian family was in the wrong in this matter. If it got out, it would be bad for their son's reputation. She would never allow anything that would bring bad reputation to her son to happen.

"Hey, Auntie Ye, please come in." Before she finished speaking, Old Lady Ye strode in.

"What do you, the Qian family, mean? Do you think that our Ye family is an outsider and easy to bully?"

"When we proposed the marriage, it was your Qian family who came to us. Now you want to cancel the engagement just because you two are not suitable for each other. I tell you that this is not possible. If you don't give me an explanation, I will go to the government to sue you."

The scholar's wife knew she was in the wrong, so she took Old Lady Ye's hand and said in a gentle and apologetic voice, "Auntie Ye, don't be angry. Let's go inside and talk."

Old Lady Ye came into the house reluctantly. She sat down angrily and refused to take the tea offered by the scholar's wife, who kept smiling.

"This is all my fault. I misunderstood and thought that my Cheng'er was interested in your daughter, so I asked a matchmaker to go to your house..."

"Oh, you misunderstood me, and you want my family to be embarrassed as well?"

"No, that's not what I meant, Aunt Ye. We were indeed wrong in this matter. How about this? I have a tael of silver here. You can take it back to Miss Lian'er. It will be my apology to her."

Looking at the silver, Old Lady Ye became even more furious: "What do you mean, you want to get rid of me with just one tael of silver? Do you think our Ye family is beggars?"

"Of course not. Miss Lian'er is a good girl, and I really like her, but we can't force them together just because we like them as parents."

"You don't have to tell me that. I don't understand those big truths. I only know that you made my Lian'er suffer. My Lian'er has been held in the palm of your hand since she was a child, but now she is humiliated by your family like this. Poor Lian'er cried at home today. As a grandmother, I feel so distressed..."

As Old Lady Ye spoke, she forced a tear out.

The scholar's wife knew that this matter might not be solved with just one or two taels of silver: "I can understand Aunt Ye's feelings. I am also a parent, so I naturally understand the love that elders have for their younger generations. This matter is our fault. So I have some silver on me. You can take all of this..."

The scholar's wife felt around his body, and finally took out three taels of silver and put it in Old Lady Ye's hand.

"I know this money is not much, but it is at least my apology to Miss Lian'er. Aunt Ye, please take it."

"What do you mean, Scholar's wife? Do you want to get rid of me just for this? I tell you it's impossible. Ten taels, ten taels of silver. If you don't have ten taels of silver, I will tell the neighbors about the disgusting things your Qian family has done, so that everyone can see what kind of face your Qian family is."

"Auntie Ye, why are you doing this? If this is true, it will be bad for both of our families, don't you think?"

"It's our family that has lost face now."

"Yes, yes, yes...but my family really can't afford these ten taels of silver."

"Then I don't care. If you don't satisfy me today, I won't leave. I will eat and live at your house."

"Auntie Ye, you..."

Seeing the scoundrel appearance of Old Lady Ye, the scholar's mother was extremely grateful that she had canceled the marriage. Otherwise, when her son entered the official career in the future, having such an in-law would become a burden.

"Give it to her."

Qian Cheng walked in from outside and saluted to Old Lady Ye: "Grandma Ye, this matter is my fault. I cannot deny the blame for the harm caused to Miss Lian'er. Please pass these ten taels of silver to Miss Lian'er and explain my apology to her."

The scholar's mother wanted to say something, but after meeting her son's eyes, she said nothing. She then got up and went back into the house to get the silver.

"Here are ten taels of silver. Take it."

He took out ten taels of silver at once. The scholar's wife felt so painful that she lost her previous kindness.

Looking at the ten taels of silver in her hand, Old Lady Ye smiled and said, "That's about right."

After leaving Qian's house, Old Lady Ye looked back at the gate of Qian's house. She thought, how great it would be if Qian Cheng could marry Lian'er.

Maybe their family can really soar to success.
