After the marriage was broken off, the husband's family regretted it

We can’t keep the eggs here any longer. There are too many eggs piled up everywhere. They will go bad if we keep them here any longer.

Wang San's wife Mahua said, "Village chief, what do you say we should do? Yuntao's family won't buy our eggs. They used to say they would buy our eggs, but now they won't buy any. But the weather is too hot, and the eggs won't keep well. They'll go bad. We have more than 200 eggs now. I'm so worried. What do you say we should do, village chief?"

"Most of the people in the village are now standing at the gate of the village chief's yard, talking at once, all about eggs.

The village chief felt helpless when he saw these short-sighted people.

"What can I do? They just won't buy it now. If I remember correctly, when Yuntao bought the eggs, you complained that they were buying them cheaply, one penny cheaper than in town, and said you would sell them in town. Yuntao set its sights on buying eggs from other villages because they couldn't buy eggs in the village."

"Now his elder brother is buying eggs from outside. It's normal that he doesn't buy yours. He has eggs to use, so why would he buy your expensive eggs? It's up to you whether you are willing or not."

Villager 1: "Village chief, you are the chief of our village, you have to help us solve this problem, hundreds of eggs are more than one tael of silver."

"You ask me to solve it, but how can I solve it? I can't afford to buy so many eggs. Even if I want to eat them, I have old hens at home. Why should I buy eggs from other people? I can't even afford such a precious thing as eggs."

Villager 2: "Village head, why don't you tell Yun Tao that we are willing to sell it for 3 cents, not cents. In the future, I will sell it to her as much as she wants, and I won't sell it in the town anymore."

When everyone heard this, they nodded and agreed, "Yes, village chief, we are willing to sell it for 2 cents, just 2 cents."

The village chief looked at the shameless expressions of the crowd and felt extremely angry.

"I have asked Yuntao about this before. They are not in a hurry to buy eggs now. They are mainly making soap. So the demand for eggs is not great. You can either eat them yourself or sell them at a low price in the town. I can't help you with this matter. If you buy the eggs from so many people, it will cost dozens of taels of silver."

Seeing the village chief's resolute attitude, everyone was very angry. Some villagers even began to scold the village chief for his inaction, saying that he was an old man who was still occupying the position of village chief. He did nothing and was unwilling to help with even this little favor.

The village chief was so angry that he fainted.

"Mom, have you heard that because our family doesn't buy eggs, the villagers can't sell them, and they are making trouble at the village chief's house. Some villagers asked the village chief to come to my house to intercede and ask us to buy all the eggs. The village chief didn't agree, and they said a lot of ugly things and fainted in anger."

"Daniu, don't worry about this matter. The village chief will naturally take care of it. We just need to do our own instinctive work well now, and don't worry about other things."

"Old woman, no matter how you made a fuss at home before, I never said anything to you, even when you did something so excessive with the third child. When have I ever said anything to you in all these years? But why did you decide on Da Zhuang's marriage behind my back? He is the eldest grandson of our Wang family."

"Old man, the girl is actually quite nice, really, she's a great hand at farm work, she's really good. She just eats a little too much."

"You are still making up stories. Keep making up stories for me. Don't I know what kind of habits that girl has? Have you forgotten that I often go to your mother's house? I know exactly who your mother's relatives are, what they look like, and what their habits are. What did your brother promise you? You are so protective of your brother that you want to marry our grandson to his granddaughter. His granddaughter is big and strong, as black as coal, and it is true that she is very strong, but why don't you say that her food rations are equivalent to how much our family has."

"Do you think I'm a fool? Do you think I don't know?"

"There is no room for negotiation on this matter. This marriage cannot be concluded. There is no reason. I will never let my eldest son and grandson of the Wang family marry a woman like that. If he really marries her, she will be a joke of my Wang family. Where will I put my old face?"

"Go back to your parents' home tomorrow and cancel this marriage. Just tell them that I don't agree. Da Zhuang doesn't agree either."

"Master, I have already promised my brother. I can't make any other decision. If I refuse, my brother will no longer recognize me as his sister. What should I do?"

"Master, don't worry. At worst, I can ask my brothers to get you some extra dowry."

"Your brother is so poor, and he still wants to give a dowry. Are you going to give a good-for-nothing as a dowry?"

"I don't care, old woman, you have to turn down this marriage, otherwise there will be no end for us two. Don't you like to help your parents? Otherwise, you can help your parents as much as you can in the future, and stay there, and don't come back. Our Wang family is not your home, you can go and live there alone."

When Old Lady Wang heard these words, she was stunned. "What are you talking about, old man? Do you mean to divorce me?"

"I, Liu Xiaohua, married you when I was 13 years old. I have worked like a slave in your Wang family for decades. Now I am finally a wife. Why can't I be the master of my own grandchildren?

"Old Wang, I'm telling you, if you want to get rid of me, there's no way. There's no way I can turn down the marriage of my brother's granddaughter. If you dare to divorce me, I will make a scene with you, causing unrest in your house, and chaos everywhere. Believe it or not, I will make it so that none of your grandchildren will be able to get married in the future. Not to mention that Da Zhuang has a wife, I can get rid of her. I, Liu Xiaohua, am not known for being a domineering flower for nothing."

"Old man Wang stared at Liu Xiaohua blankly. Perhaps after a few days of good life, he forgot that Liu Xiaohua was good at making trouble and that he could never beat him."

Looking at Old Wang's silent expression, Liu Xiaomei knew that she had guessed right again this time. How could Old Wang, a man who cared so much about his reputation, bear such unpleasant words on his face?
