"what?!"

Zhang Laosi couldn't believe his ears and repeated, "You...want...to cancel...the engagement?"

"Uh-huh.."

Zhang Jiaoniang looked at Zhang Laosi with tears in her eyes, hoping that he would agree.

Zhang Laosi became very emotional.

"Do you know what you are talking about? We have all accepted the betrothal gifts. Unless the Yan family takes the initiative to cancel the engagement, we can withdraw. And what you are doing is not canceling the engagement but divorcing your wife."

"Ah? Divorce!"

Mao Lan's face was filled with horror. "Didn't you ask me to help him change his fate?"

Zhang Laosi rolled his eyes at her and said, "Those people are talking nonsense!"

Then he told the story: "Back then, after your grandfather passed the imperial examination, Master Yan came to congratulate him. They drank a lot that day and immediately arranged a marriage for him and his wife from our Zhang family.

The Yan family had given birth to daughters in the past few times. When Yan Sheng was born, your cousins ​​were all able to work, so after discussion, the family decided to let you marry her. "

Listening to Zhang Laosi's explanation of the whole story, Zhang Maolan felt disheartened and her face turned pale.

"It seems that I can only spend the rest of my life pretending to be crazy or asking his family to quietly cancel the engagement."

......

"Son, did you go to Quanshui Village to meet your young bride?"

"Mom, I like it very much when I see it."

"She is not..."

"cough!"

Before he could finish, he was stopped by Yan Sheng.

"Brother, I want to ask you, 'Is that man really stupid?'"

The child next to Yan Sheng asked. The child looked only eight or nine years old.

The person who is speaking is the eldest son of Yan Lao San, and the person next to him is Aunt Qin, who is Yan Sheng's biological mother and Yan An's adoptive mother.

Yan An's biological mother died of complications during childbirth. Later, Qin Xiaoniang adopted him as her own, and she was transformed from a young mother to an old mother.

"An'er, don't discuss family matters at the dinner table." Yan Lao San scolded.

Listening to his father's scolding, An'er felt that what he had just said was a bit too much, so he gave the chicken leg in the bowl to his brother as compensation.

"Dad, it's okay! Whether she's stupid or not, she's wise and foolish. This woman is the smartest woman I've ever seen."

After hearing Yan Sheng's praise, Yan Laosan suddenly became energetic. In fact, he was extremely reluctant to let Sheng'er marry Zhang Jiaoniang.

"Are you saying that she's pretending to be crazy and stupid? She doesn't want to marry you?"

"At the moment, I don't know whether my son is really stupid or just pretending to be stupid. We can only find out by trying it tomorrow."

Yan Sheng passed the chicken leg back to Yan An.

"Eat, and remember not to talk nonsense during the family reunion dinner."

Old Master Yan had three sons and a married daughter. The eldest son, Yan Wenxing, had two daughters and two sons with Zhang; the second son, Yan Changsheng, had two daughters with Li.

The two sons of the eldest wife are less than three years older than Yan Sheng. Now that Grandpa Yan’s health is deteriorating, he can only take on the responsibility of raising the children among his four grandsons in the future.

The first wife planned that as long as the third wife married the fool of Zhang family, she would use Sheng'er's family business and An'er's age as an excuse to refuse to let the third wife take over the family business in the future; the second wife had no children either.

By then, the entire family business will belong to their eldest branch, and the whole Yan family will hear their plan.

The next day, at daybreak, Zhang Jiaoniang quickly left home and set out to find her husband-to-be.

After many twists and turns, we finally arrived at Xingwen County City.

"Wow! This city planning is pretty good."

There are shops, clinics, and private schools.

Now she is like Granny Liu when she first entered the Grand View Garden, curious about everything around her.

"Gee! Gee! Everybody, get out of the way!"

A hurried voice sounded behind her ear, and she was knocked away just as she turned her head.

"You don't have eyes!"

As soon as Zhang Jiaoniang got up from the ground, the man had already left.

Looking at the departing figure, Jiao Niang lifted her skirt and ran wildly after him.

"Mom, the 800-meter physical test was not practiced in vain!"

When people on the street saw this scene, they all praised Zhang Jiaoniang: "What a strong-willed woman! I wonder which family she is from?"

I finally found the horse in front of a restaurant, but was stopped by the waiter when I was about to step through the door.

The waiter looked her up and down. "Is Zuiyanlou a place that a country girl like you can come to? Can you afford the food?"

Zhang Jiaoniang was almost furious with what this man said, and then she had an idea.

She lay down in front of the door of Zuiyanlou and started crying loudly, with tears and snot running down her face.

"Why are you staying in my restaurant and acting like a jerk?" the waiter explained loudly to the onlookers.

Zhang Jiaoniang was delighted to see more and more people gathering around.

"If there are more people, I will make my identity as the unmarried wife of the young master of the Yan family public, so as to embarrass the Yan family and force them to cancel the engagement."

As expected, the neighbors were attracted by Zhang Jiaoniang's voice. More and more people gathered around, and Zhang Jiaoniang began to perform exaggeratedly.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Jiao Niang was about to speak but was interrupted by someone on the rooftop of Zuiyan Tower.

"Girl, long time no see."

Zhang Maolan looked up and saw that this was the scheming little Yan Lang whom she met yesterday.

"Why did he appear here?"

Little Yan Lang raised his glass and said to the crowd watching downstairs: "Please forgive me, this is my wife-to-be. Although she is stupid, I, Yan, will take good care of her."

The onlookers talked about Yan Lang's words and deeds, and praised Yan Lang for his emphasis on husband-wife love, saying that he was a role model for our generation.

Hearing these words, Zhang Jiaoniang stared at him angrily.

"I didn't expect that I was the real clown. I shot myself in the foot, and in the end he got the advantage."

Yan Lang raised his eyebrows at Mao Lan who was holding a cup below him, "Miss, come up and have a drink and reminisce about the past?"

Zhang Jiaonian hesitated, and people around her were urging her to go.

"Isn't this a multiple-choice question for me? Forget it! What needs to be faced must be faced."

The waiter immediately changed his attitude, treated her very respectfully, and led her to the private room on the rooftop.

When I came upstairs, I saw the banquet prepared by Yan Lang, with delicacies from land and sea and fine wines.

"Please take a seat!"

Yan Lang stretched out his hand and pointed to the empty seat in front of him.

"I don't buy it. He's affectionate in front of people, but I don't know how he'll treat me behind their backs. Medically speaking, this kind of person has a split personality."

As soon as Zhang Jiaoniang sat down, the door was closed by the waiter.

"What do you want to do!" Mao Lan covered her petite chest with her hands and looked at him in panic.

"What do you think I want to do?"

Yan Lang handed her a glass of wine.

"Is it poisoned wine? Is it trying to kill me?"

Jiao Niang shook her head vigorously, and thinking that Yan Lang was a cripple, she quickly hid in the corner.

Unexpectedly, Yan Lang in front of her walked forward and came directly in front of her.

"You..." Zhang Jiaonian showed a look of astonishment.

"Shh!"

Yan Sheng covered her mouth and nodded in agreement with the second half of her sentence.

"It seems that you are not stupid at all, but very smart."

The magnetic voice entered the girl's ears, and her face flushed. "This voice is so beautiful!"

"I told you my secret because I think you are smart. I hope we can cooperate."

"cooperate?"

Zhang Jiaoniang couldn't believe what he said and just stood there in silence.

"Do you want to continue to act crazy and stupid for the rest of your life?"

"When did you realize I was playing crazy?"

Mao Lan also revealed his feelings, feeling that his superb acting skills just now should not be discovered.

"Just now!"

"Just now?" Jiao Niang looked doubtful.

"You want to know?"

Yan Lang squatted in front of her, stretched out his index finger from his sleeve and lifted Zhang Jiaoniang's chin.
