Start with three days of hunger and nine meals, and become rich and tempting

When Lai Xi heard this, he was so angry that his veins popped out. What a Liang Boyan! This was simply too much.

The two families had been engaged for three or four years, and now that Xiaocao was already 14 years old, no one came to propose marriage. It turned out that the Liang family had ulterior motives.

Liu Siyu was also furious when she heard this, but she knew that now was not the time to get angry, so she gently pulled Lai Xi's arm.

He said to the Hualimu family, "Thank you very much. We will leave first. We will report to Guyaju as soon as we finish our housework."

The Hua family thanked them repeatedly and couldn't help but guess the identities of these two people.

After leaving the Hua family's yard, Lai Xi saw Tian Qingshan feeding cows on the roadside from afar. He hesitated for a moment, but finally took a step forward.

"Dad, I want to go to the Liang family and ask about their family situation. If, if Liang Boren has bad intentions, can, can we cancel this marriage?"

Lai Xi found it extremely difficult to say this, but if he didn't say it, it would feel like a thorn in his throat.

He knew very well that his father was a man who attached great importance to his reputation and was a dutiful and honest person. He knew without asking that his father was definitely unwilling to cancel the engagement.

Tian Qingshan was stunned when he heard this, then he took out his pipe, lit it and took a few deep puffs.

Although he didn't know what his son had heard, he was definitely not an impulsive person. The fact that he could say such words must mean that the Liang family had done something unkind.

However, breaking off the engagement, no matter how much he argued, would ultimately affect Xiaocao's reputation. For a moment, he really couldn't make up his mind.

With his brows furrowed, he squatted on the ground and smoked his pipe silently.

Lai Xi was a little anxious, "Dad, can you say something?"

Tian Qingshan took a few more deep puffs before slamming his pipe heavily on the stone.

"Come on, I'll go with you."

Lai Xi hesitated for a moment, but still handed the rope for leading the cow to Liu Siyu.

"You stay here and watch over the ox cart. Dad and I will go to the Liang family."

Liu Siyu took the rope and raised the corner of her mouth slightly.

"Okay, don't be impulsive, so as not to fall into someone else's trap."

Half an hour later, Liu Siyu saw two people walking towards this side in a miserable state.

I can't help but be shocked, "Lai Xi, what happened to you?"

Lai Xi shook his head and sighed tiredly.

"Let's talk about it when we get back."

When they got home, everyone was furious after listening to Lai Xi's story.

Xiaocao couldn't hold back her tears, so she turned around and ran back to her room.

Ximei and Tian Dani rushed forward to comfort her, but Xiaocao's tears became more intense.

The Liang family is really a piece of shit. As soon as Lai Xi and Tian Qingshan arrived, Liang Boren's mother was so embarrassed.

It was obvious that his family had an affair, but they still turned the tables and said that Xiaocao was immoral and had lost her reputation in Yingshan Village because of her mixing with men and women.

When Lai Xi heard this, he almost couldn't help but slap the other person.

When the old woman saw Lai Xi’s cannibalistic eyes, she was so scared that she took a step back, as if she had seen a ghost.

He hurriedly shouted to the backyard, "Old man, come out quickly."

Old man Liang was more kind-hearted than the old woman. When he saw his in-laws coming, he knew he was in the wrong, so he hid in the vegetable garden. When he heard the old woman howling, he rushed out immediately.

He said to Tian Qingshan awkwardly, "The in-laws are here, let's talk nicely and don't hurt the relationship."

Tian Qingshan didn't say anything, and Lai Xi suppressed his anger.

"My sister came to Yingshan Village only this month. She has always been with my sister-in-law and my wife. How could you see her hanging out with other boys?"

"But you guys, I heard that you are already discussing marriage with the lady from the silk shop, and you still want to throw dirty water on my sister."

The old woman felt a little guilty, but she gained confidence when she saw her man by her side.

Like a fighting cock, he stuck his neck out and said, "Stop slandering my Bo Ren's reputation with empty words. You don't know your sister's reputation. The news that she was hanging out with boys has spread to our village, and you're still here..."

Before the old woman could finish her words, she was slapped in the face by Tian Qingshan, who was always honest and taciturn.

"Cancel the engagement..."

He is a man who values ​​his reputation very much, and would rather suffer losses than take advantage of others easily. However, his children are the apple of his eye, and even if they are framed like this, even a clay man will still have some stubbornness.

The old woman was completely stunned, and even Old Man Liang beside her was extremely surprised.

But when I heard that the engagement was cancelled, I felt a little relieved.

Lai was happy to see his father being so supportive. He felt sad for his sister but was also angry at the Liang family's disgrace.

"You just want to cancel the engagement, why don't you just say it openly? Why use these despicable means?"

The old woman was unhappy when she heard this.

"Who is so mean? A girl is not well behaved, and in the end she blames it on my son..."

The old lady of the Liang family kept accusing his sister of being indecent. Lai Xi finally couldn't bear it anymore and grabbed the old lady by the collar.

"Who are you calling immoral? Whose family is the filthy one? Don't you have any idea?"

At this moment, the eldest son of the Liang family came back. Seeing that someone dared to attack his mother, he rushed up and kicked her without knowing the truth.

Lai Xi was kicked and staggered. His temper instantly exploded and he started to fight with the eldest brother of the Liang family like an enraged tiger.

Although the eldest son of the Liang family was tall and strong, he was defeated by Lai Xi after just a few rounds.

Old man Liang naturally protected his son, and Tian Qingshan was not someone to be trifled with.

The noise in the Liang family's courtyard attracted the surrounding neighbors to come and watch the fun. Those who were related to the Liang family seemed to be trying to stop the fight, but in fact they were trying to make things difficult for Tian Qingshan and his son.

Fortunately, Lai Xi reacted quickly and acted quickly, pinning the head of the Liang family to the ground in one fell swoop. Everyone was stunned and rushed forward to separate them.

Although I got rid of my anger by beating the mother and son until they were black and blue, this incident was still bad for my sister's reputation.

The atmosphere at home suddenly dropped to freezing point.

After listening for a long time, Liu Siyu slowly figured out what was going on. If she wanted to completely resolve the issue, it depended on Xiaocao's attitude.

If she was also willing to cancel the engagement, then she could go to the Liang family and use some tricks to force them to cancel the engagement in person, and also apologize to Xiaocao.

Only in this way can Xiaocao's reputation be preserved, and she won't have to jump into the Liang family's fire pit.

After thinking everything through, Liu Siyu walked into the room, sat in front of the tearful Xiaocao, and gently held her in her arms.

He wiped Xiaocao's tears and said softly, "Xiaocao, what do you think now that things have developed to this point?"

Xiaocao looked at Ximei, then at Tian Danier, and finally her gaze stopped on Liu Siyu's face.

"I, I don't know either..."

As he said this, he started to sob again.

"Don't you know that you need to make the decision on this matter?" Ximei was very worried about her sister-in-law.

Tian Danier's voice was hoarse and she blinked away the tears in her eyes. She understood Xiaocao and was afraid that if the engagement was cancelled, it would ruin the reputation of the entire family.

But it hurts more.
