Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

Yun Yan reacted quickly. When his father's fist just swung out and had not yet hit Zhao Pingxiu, he had already reached out and pulled the fair-skinned and weak Zhao Junyi from the crowd, and then greeted his eldest brother's fist.

The Zhao clan members didn't expect that even though they had said they were on good terms with Master Xue, the Yun family still dared to beat them up.

By the time they reacted, Zhao Junyi and his son Zhao Pingxiu had already fallen to the ground, screaming in pain from being beaten.

Members of the Zhao clan hurried forward to help.

The Yun clan members couldn't just stand by and watch, so they rushed forward.

The women of the Yun family, who had just been crying around Yun Xi, now faced the women of the Zhao family.

Except for the family heads and elderly people on both sides, even children aged seven or eight were scratching their faces, pulling their hair and biting their clothes.

Suddenly, the Yun family's yard was in chaos.

There were constant shouts of curses and cries of pain.

The number of people on both sides was evenly matched, with about 20 to 30 people each. Fortunately, the Yun family's courtyard was very large, otherwise there would not be enough space for so many people and they would not be able to perform well.

Even though the number of people is about the same, the Yun family has a clear advantage.

There are several hunters among the Yun clan, who are not only strong but also have some skills.

They are definitely better at fighting than the Zhao clan members.

Not to mention Yun Xi, who had practiced martial arts for more than ten years in her previous life and had not fallen behind in the two years since she came here. It would not be easy for her to deal with a group of ordinary peasant women.

In the chaos, she poked her hands secretly, and the women of the Zhao family fell to the ground one by one. The women of the Yun family took the opportunity to bully them and pressed them to the ground and rubbed them again and again.

The situation is similar for the men. Yun Qi and Yun Yan have practiced martial arts under Yun Xi's guidance in the past two years, and their skills are better than their father and tribesmen who have been hunting all year round.

The two brothers also quietly knocked each other down and let the men of the tribe press them down and bang them.

Soon, this group fight turned into a one-sided battle of strength.

"Li Zheng is here."

Someone in the crowd watching the excitement shouted, and everyone automatically made way.

A man of about thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old walked into the yard with his hands behind his back and a gloomy face.

This person is Wang Fugui, the head of Gantang Village.

Looking at the two parties fighting fiercely, he shouted, "Stop it."

The Yun family remained unmoved. They pretended not to hear anything and continued to laugh while taking the time.

Wang Fugui's eyes twitched when he saw this scene. "Stop it, stop it right now. How can you behave like this?"

The roar was so loud this time that they could no longer pretend not to hear it, and the Yun clan members finally stopped one after another.

The Zhao clan members groaned and helped each other to get up with difficulty. They all had bruised faces and noses, dishevelled hair, and were covered in mud and dust, and there was a lot of gasping sounds.

"Village head, you came at the right time. You have to make a decision for us. The Zhao family is too bullying. They took advantage of the fact that Zhao Junyi passed the imperial examination and became ungrateful. They ignored the help our Yun family has given them over the years and wanted to cancel the engagement with Xi girl and slander her reputation."

Yun Xi's grandfather Yun Songlin took the initiative and started to complain before the Zhao clan members even got up from the ground.

"A group of people, hissing, talking nonsense, trying to slander us. Ouch. Village head, we will retreat because their Yun family's daughter was kidnapped by villains years ago and has not returned for one night. She is innocent."

Zhao Pingxiu bared his teeth and inhaled and cried out in pain while defending himself. Also, because he had just been beaten and his two front teeth were knocked out, his speech was now slurred and his articulation was very unclear.

"Nonsense, my daughter just fell off the cliff that year. Zhao Pingxiu, stop talking nonsense and don't go too far." Yun Huaiyuan shouted loudly.

"Okay, shut up."

After the head of the village spoke, both sides fell silent again.

Wang Fugui glanced at everyone and frowned into a shape of a "川" (cross).

Finally, he said, "Alright, how can we get married when the two families are in such a mess? Just exchange the Engagement Letter and let the marriage go."

These obviously biased words made all the members of the Yun clan change their expressions.

Yun Xi's heart sank, it seemed that she was on the side of the Zhao family.

Yes, Zhao Junyi is already a scholar now, and it is very likely that he will become a juren, a jinshi, or an official in the future.

In their eyes, the Yun family was still a genuine farmer. At best, they were just farmers who could hunt and lived a slightly better life than others. What great future could they have?

Comparing the two families, nine out of ten people would choose the Zhao family.

But as a village head, such an obviously unfair attitude is absolutely inappropriate.

Yun Xi put him on the blacklist along with the rest of the Zhao family.

I just hope that the village head will not regret his decision today.

She said, "Li Zheng, I can cancel the engagement, but not in this way."

Yun Xi knew that it was time for her to stand up.

Family members and clan members will not make up their minds to cancel the engagement so quickly, and if they do, they will just argue and pull with the other party.

I had just beaten him up, so I felt relieved. Plus, the village head was obviously on the other side, so there was no point in arguing any further.

It would be better to get down to business and cancel the marriage as soon as possible.

Hearing her words, everyone looked at her.

At this moment, her face was pale, and tears were in her eyes, but she was stubborn and refused to let them fall, which made people feel particularly pity for her.

Wang Fugui narrowed his eyes and asked, "Yun Xi, what do you want?"

Yun Xi lowered her head and wiped away the non-existent tears. When she looked up, her red and swollen eyes were full of patience and determination.

"Li Zheng Wang, I agree to cancel the engagement, but the Zhao family must agree to two conditions."

"You said."

"First, the Zhao family must return the money they borrowed from our Yun family over the years, including the principal and interest. We don't ask for much, just follow the rules of the bank."

When it comes to paying back the money, the Zhao family is not happy. Not to mention the interest, they don't even want to pay back the principal.

"Silly girl, when did we ever borrow money from your family? Don't talk nonsense." Zhang wanted to cheat.

Yun Xi had been on guard against them for a long time. Two years ago, when she traveled through time and came to the Zhao family to ask for money, she asked her father to have Zhao Ping rewrite the IOU, clearly stating the year and amount of money borrowed, and even signed and stamped it.

At that time, the Zhao family really needed money, and Zhao Pingxiu wanted to save face, so although he was unhappy, he still wrote the IOU according to their request.

These IOUs came in handy at this moment.

Xi ran into the house and quickly took out a few IOUs, and waved them at the Zhao family.

"Zhang, open your eyes and see clearly. These are all IOUs written by your man himself. You want to deny the debt? No way."

When the Zhao family saw the IOUs, their faces turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Zhao Pingxiu, in particular, was extremely angry.

When Yun Huaiyuan asked him to write the IOU, he clearly said that it was just a formality and that it would be thrown into the stove and burned later.

Liar, big liar.
