The brother and sister were completely disappointed with this marriage. Although the girl was a good person, she did not know right from wrong and might be instigated by her parents to sell her out to her in-laws in the future.

The two men didn't even bother to collect the lobsters and drove the ox cart back.

Xu Da paid for the lobsters out of his own pocket. If he didn't take them away today, some of them would die tomorrow and he would have to lose money.

He winked at his second brother, and several of them lifted the basket of lobsters and put it on the ox cart.

"Ye Dalang, these have been weighed. Just give me the money." Xu Da did not hide the greed in his eyes.

"You are forcing me to buy something from you. I'm telling you today that I won't accept your lobster." Since they no longer wanted to be in-laws, Ye Qing didn't hesitate.

While they were talking, several ox carts came from the village, with several people sitting on each cart.

Ye Qing saw Boss Ye at a glance. He was driving a ox cart and was rushing over with the village head.

There were some ox carts following behind, and most of the young people in the village came.

"Qingya, what's wrong? Why haven't you come home yet so late? Your village head and I are here to pick you up." Boss Ye first showed concern for his daughter.

"Li Zheng Xu, what's going on? Why are you still surrounding the children and not letting them leave? If you have something to say, tell us. Why make things difficult for two children?" Ye Li Zheng was a little annoyed. He had never been afraid when he was fleeing from famine, but now that he is here, he is still being bullied by these people?

Xu Lizheng was a little embarrassed. "Ye Lizheng didn't do that. Our two villages have always lived in harmony. It's all a misunderstanding."

The young man from Kaoshan Village stood behind Ye Lizheng, waiting for the order to go up and argue.

Xu Da and his brothers also lowered their heads and dared not say anything.

The eldest uncle came forward and said, "What happened to Dalang? I will take care of it for you."

Ye Qing's eyes were a little moist. The villagers and family members protected him and his brother so much. He would definitely not forget the villagers in the future.

"Dad, I want to cancel the engagement with my uncle. His family has gone too far." Ye Dalang looked determined.

Ye Qing also added, "Uncle Xu's fall wasn't serious at all, he just scratched his skin a little, and made my brother do the work for two days without even giving him a sip of water."

Boss Ye was a little bit unconvinced, "Where's Xu Da's father? Let him come out and talk."

"My father went out to open up wasteland. He's not at home." The youngest Xu He rushed to speak out.

Ye Lizheng was not very happy and asked if there was anything else.

"His family also ruined my family's reputation by secretly buying lobsters from the village at a low price. People in Ji Village refused to sell them, and they even threatened them."

Ye Qing added, "He wanted to hit me, but my brother tried to stop him and pushed me several times."

"Qingya, are you hurt anywhere? Tell daddy where it hurts." Boss Ye didn't bother to ask and started to care about his daughter first.

The people in Kaoshan Village were angry and shouted to push Xu Da.

The Xu family was also unhappy. Although they were also angry about what Xu Da had done, if they did not unite and face the outside world at this time, the Xu family would be bullied by everyone in the future.

The war between the two sides was about to break out, but Li Zheng Xu was more rational and stopped the Xu family.

Ye Lizheng watched Xu Lizheng express his opinion and stopped the villagers. He also asked about Ye Laoda's plan and knew that today's marriage had to be cancelled, so he also had a plan in mind.

Li Zheng Xu sent two young men to find Xu Feng, and Xu Feng came back with a hoe shortly afterwards.

"Brother Xu, you recovered very quickly from the fall. The last time I came to see you, you could only lie in bed." Boss Ye said deliberately.

"It's not fully recovered yet. There's no one to do the housework, so we have to do it. The children at home are ignorant, so don't give them the trouble. You can't just give up this relationship like that. This is just a joke." Xu Feng glared at his eldest son and said with a naive look on his face.

Xu Lizheng didn't want to back down either. As long as the marriage was successful, the two villages would be officially connected and would be able to advance and retreat together in Wu'an County.

Boss Ye was a little shaken and looked back at the two children. Ye Qing and his sister shook their heads repeatedly. They would never live in peace if they married into such a family.

"Let's just withdraw. The child doesn't want to, and we as parents can't force him." Boss Ye respected the child's opinion very much.

Xu Lizheng and Xu Feng tried to persuade him for a while. The girl from the Xu family lowered her head and cried beside him, but Ye Dalang did not change his mind.

Ye Lizheng watched as the sky was getting dark, and then he spoke again: "I think it's better to leave it at that. The two villages will continue to have exchanges in the future, so don't make it too ugly. We don't want the gifts sent over, and the marriage between the two families is over now."

Seeing that the situation was not going to improve, Xu Feng also showed his true colors. "Forget it, how can I forget it? My daughter's reputation is still there. You can give us ten taels of silver to compensate us."

The Xu family members next to them showed a look of surprise, as if they were seeing them for the first time. The Ye family had helped their village anyway, renting rabbits and collecting lobsters. Isn't this ungrateful?

The eldest uncle was unwilling to do so. He was born into a hunter family and was tall and strong. He sounded even more fierce when he spoke. "Don't be shameless. You beat up my nephew and I haven't asked you to pay yet, but you dare to ask for money."

Xu Feng took two steps back in fear, and only became a little bolder when he saw that there were many people from the Xu family here. "Don't you know how important a girl's reputation is? Ten taels of silver is too little."

Ye Qingchen had seen through the true colors of this family. They were all greedy for money. They pretended well at first, but fortunately he saw through them before the marriage.

The other members of the Xu family also knew what was going on. They still owed the Ye family a rabbit, so they decided not to get involved.

It was Xu Da who went too far in lowering the price first. It’s good enough that I can help him this time.

The Ye family was too lazy to talk to him and directly asked Ye Lizheng to cancel the engagement with them on behalf of the clan.

Xu Lizheng also agreed, so Xu Feng and his son had no say anymore, and the marriage between the two families was completely cancelled.

Ye Qing was excited. This kind of person who was playing tricks on others couldn't be reasoned with. He could ask the clan leader to come forward and directly resolve the situation, and his family wouldn't have to worry about any more troubles.

After settling the marriage, the Ye family confiscated the lobster and went back directly.

Old Man Ye was circling at the gate, worried that someone might fight. Grandpa Zhou couldn't sit still anymore and came over to chat with Old Man Ye.

Li called her daughter and daughter-in-law over to prepare meals.

So many villagers have gone to help, and we don’t know how late it will be when they come back, so they must stay at home for a meal.

Just as Old Man Ye was anxiously waiting, Ye Lizheng came back with several cars of people.

Old Man Ye and Grandpa Zhou walked around the few people and only felt relieved when they saw that they were not injured.

"Come in quickly, the food is ready. Eat before leaving." Old Man Ye called out.

"Mom, we're back." Ye Qing shouted towards the kitchen.

Several people who were busy in the kitchen hurried out, and Zhou even touched Ye Qing's body to confirm that he was not injured before going to see her son.
