Looking at Chu Qingmei who was rushing over in a rage, Qinghe said calmly:

"Chu Qingmei, it is only natural to pay back debts. The head of your family has agreed to this, but you, a daughter-in-law, are objecting. Your rules are really worrying!"

Shen stepped forward and slapped Chu Qingmei on the face.

"You bitch, who told you to interrupt? You have no manners at all. I don't know how the Chu family taught their children. Go back to the house now. If you come out to make trouble again, you'll have to watch your back."

Chu Qingmei was slapped in the face and felt very angry.

"Mother, you actually hit me. Yesterday you said that the money was for my husband and father-in-law to use as travel expenses. Now you gave the money to Chu Qinghe. What will they do with the money for the imperial examination in the future? I brought that money from my mother's home!"

"You brought them from your mother's family? Humph, once you enter my Lin family, you belong to my Lin family. My Lin family has the final say on how to deal with you.

If you'd better be obedient, stay here quietly. Otherwise, go back to the Lin family.

If you hadn't framed Mingze, we wouldn't have married you and missed out on such a good daughter-in-law like Qinghe. You old Chu family are really committing a sin!"

Shen started to criticize them. Chu Qingmei was so angry that she jumped up and down when she heard Shen put all the responsibility on the old Chu family:

"Mother, you were the ones who went to my father and told him that my second uncle's leg was injured and he would be a burden in the future. It would have been better if I was the one who got engaged to Brother Mingze. That way, both families would have scholars and we could help each other. That's why what happened later happened. Now you don't acknowledge him."

"Qingmei, what nonsense are you talking about! Go back to your room and don't come out to make trouble."

Lin Mingze was furious as if he had been exposed and he scolded Chu Qingmei.

Seeing that the Lin family did not stand on her side, Chu Qingmei felt a little cold in her heart. This was the marriage she had worked so hard to get, but now in front of outsiders, she was not given any face at all. Deep humiliation spread in her heart, and Chu Qingmei's eyes were slightly sore.

"I've made a fool of myself. My family is in trouble and I have no way of disciplining my children. Please forgive me." Mr. Lin said beside him, urging Shen: "Take her back quickly and give the silver to Qinghe."

The head of the village, the village chief and Chu Qinghe watched this scene coldly, and they knew in their hearts that with the character of the Lin family, Chu Qingmei's life would not be easy in the future.

The head of the village and the village chief wiped a cold sweat for Qinghe. Fortunately, the engagement was cancelled at the beginning, otherwise, Qinghe would have walked into a fire pit when she got married.

They all tacitly said nothing and waited quietly for Shen to come out.

After a while, Shen came out with a purse. She felt pain in her heart but her face was full of smiles.

"Qinghe, this is thirty taels of silver, count it for yourself."

Chu Qinghe took the money bag and counted it, finding three ingots. Then he returned the IOU to Shen.

"It's exactly thirty taels of silver. This is the IOU. Our debt will be settled later. Grandpa Lizheng and Grandpa Village Chief, shall we go back too?"

Watching Chu Qinghe take the silver, count it, and leave.

The three members of the Lin family were a little anxious, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Shen stepped forward and said to Qinghe enthusiastically:

"He girl, these days, Auntie, your Uncle Lin, and Mingze have been regretting so much. We shouldn't have let the old Chu family trick us and break off the engagement with you."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Lin family father and son nodded and said yes.

Chu Qinghe thanked the Lin family in her heart for not marrying her. It was clearly she who broke off the engagement, but now they still say that it was them who broke off the engagement. I don’t know where they got the nerve to do that.

"It's all in the past. After Lin Mingze and I broke off our engagement, we're living very well. There's no need to mention it again."

"Yes, yes, let's not talk about it anymore.

After you broke off the engagement, I heard that you started a business.

Look at you, how come you are so successful? You are doing business, building houses and factories, and now you are the most famous person in our town!

If Qingmei hadn't interfered, you would have been our daughter-in-law, and there wouldn't be all these things happening now!

But no matter how capable this woman is, she still has to find a husband, right? After your aunt knows that you broke off the engagement, no good family wants to marry you anymore.

You and Mingze have always been in love with each other. How about you two continue your relationship? " Shen said more and more fluently, and directly expressed her thoughts.

Chu Qinghe thought that Shen Shi didn't make a scene and spoke to him kindly. She must be planning something. Unexpectedly, it was true.

Chu Qinghe listened to Shen's words with great interest, but the head of the village and the village chief couldn't stand it anymore. It turned out that she wanted to go back to her ex?

"Mr. Lin, how dare you say such things? Regardless of whether He girl has anyone to marry, your son is already married. What is the reason why you say this to He girl? Do you want to enjoy the blessing of having many wives and let He girl be your concubine and be abused by you? Your family is too shameless!" The head of the village was very angry.

When Shen heard that they misunderstood her, she quickly explained, "No, no, you misunderstood. How could we let Qinghe be our mistress? As long as Qinghe agrees, whether Qingmei stays or not will be decided by Qinghe. We won't say a word."

Mr. Lin and his son nodded beside them.

"Qinghe, I was wrong before. I shouldn't have been deceived by Chu Qingmei.

I have always liked you, and I know you have always liked me.

When we get married, I will treat you well. You will be the head of the family and I will listen to you in everything.

Don't worry, as long as you agree, I will divorce Qingmei immediately, and the baby in her belly won't bother you." Lin Mingze said to Qinghe affectionately.

Chu Qinghe was disgusted and kicked Lin Mingze in the chest. Lin Mingze cried out in pain and fell to the ground.

"Lin Mingze, I gave you face, right? I just wanted to collect the money owed, but you put on such a big show for me.

Don’t even mention whether I can find a husband. I just don’t like you because you’re a useless scholar who can’t even carry anything on your shoulders or lift anything with your hands.

What's more, it's a second-hand item that's already married?"

As he said this, he looked him up and down with contempt.

Seeing her son fall to the ground and sweating in pain, Shen quickly stepped forward and said:

"Qinghe, how could you do this to Mingze? Our family wants to marry you back now to rescue you.

Do you still want to be an unwanted old maid?

You don't know how to be grateful, and you even hit your future husband. You really need to be disciplined."

Shen jumped up angrily and cursed at Chu Qinghe.

The village head pulled Qing He behind him and said to the Lin family, "I think it's you, the Lin family, who need to be disciplined. You are a bunch of ignorant people who talk a lot about morality but do nothing humane.

Not to mention that He girl is not only living a good life now, but also making money with us. Just because of her good character, people who come to propose marriage to her can line up all over the town.

What's more, He girl's fiancé is a wealthy, dignified and promising young man. How can your boy compare to him?

You still want to rekindle our past relationship? Who gave you the face?"
