Although Xu Mingyue was dissatisfied, she now knew that this was not the time to speak out.

Letting Xu Manyue marry in her place was considered unfair to her by her family.

If she speaks out again now, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among her family.

Xu Manyue looked at Old Man Xu and shook her head. "No, not a penny less of money, and the same goes for the other dowry."

As she spoke, she moved the kitchen knife in her hand a few inches closer to her neck.

The gleaming blade seemed to be about to penetrate the skin of the neck in the next second.

But Xu Manyue's expression did not change at all, her eyes staring straight at Old Man Xu.

This is the bottom line. Once the bottom line is compromised, some people will not take it seriously.

Old Man Xu was silent again, and after a while he said, "Let me think about it."

"Old man, I can't agree to this..." Old Mrs. Xu wiped her tears.

Twenty dollars is not a small amount of money, not to mention there are wardrobes, boxes, quilts and so on.

The total amount is not a small amount.

After the full moon, how will the two brothers Xiangyang get married and how will the Xu family continue the family line?

If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have forced her to marry someone else.

The other members of the Xu family looked at the kitchen knife nervously, fearing that Xu Manyue might accidentally do something stupid.

But no one dared to step forward to persuade her.

The air around was silent and tense.

"Full Moon, don't, don't..."

Tian Lanfang's heart was in her throat, and her eyes were fixed on her daughter's hand.

If she had known earlier, she should not have proposed the idea of marriage substitution. Now, the matter has become a big deal and there is no way to resolve it.

Xu Manyue remained unmoved and still held the kitchen knife tightly.

She wasn't so stupid as to really take her own life to avenge an insignificant person.

Whether in her previous life or now, what she was betting on was never the Xu family's care for her, but the Xu family's care for their reputation.

Especially Old Man Xu, he knows some medical skills. Usually, anyone in the village who is not feeling well will ask him to see him, so he has a good reputation in the team.

The better the reputation of a person, the more he values it, and Old Man Xu is no exception.

Xu Manyue couldn't help but laugh when she saw how nervous these people were.

These people seemed to be worried that she would commit suicide, but in fact they all had their own little thoughts.

Her parents were afraid that her death would affect the marriages of their two sons.

Xu Xiangyang and Xu Xiangbei said nothing and remained silent. They were also watching. As it did not involve their interests and did not involve Xu Mingyue, they pretended that nothing had happened.

Xu Manyue looked at Old Man Xu again, and then looked at Xu Mingyue who was standing in the corner, trying to reduce her presence as much as possible.

"Have you thought about it? You want me to marry Xu Mingyue into the Shen family, you can't just give me nothing. I only want these things, which is already a mercy."

Old man Xu glared at Xu Mingyue fiercely. It was all her fault, but she insisted on letting her cousin marry in her place.

He took a deep breath and turned to look at Xu Manyue. "Okay, okay, I'll prepare everything for you."

"But severing ties is absolutely not an option."

"If you hold onto that idea, the marriage is void, and we won't care who you marry."

He had lived for most of his life, but he had never heard of a girl severing ties with her natal family just because she got married. People who didn't know would think that the Xu family was a vicious family.

Which girl would dare to marry into this family in the future?

Xu Manyue glanced at Xu Mingyue, whose face was pale, and smiled, "Okay, I won't get married."

After saying that, he put down the kitchen knife and turned to walk outside.

She stated three conditions, none of which could be missing.

Anyway, she is not the one who should be anxious.

Before he even walked out of the door, he was stopped by someone.

"Wait, cousin, don't go." Xu Mingyue was anxious and quickly ran out from the corner.

"As long as you marry me, I will agree to anything you want."

No one knew that she had a dream.

In the dream, after her parents died, all the things in the house were taken away, and she was forced to return to the Xu family from the city.

At the beginning, the Xu family treated her well, but gradually, they liked Xu Manyue more and more, and became more and more partial to her.

Later, she married into the Shen family, and Xu Manyue married Lu Huaiyuan.

She thought that by marrying an officer, she would be able to surpass Xu Manyue.

But she didn't expect that after she married into the Shen family for three years, the old woman in the Shen family tortured her for three years.

She indulged her married daughter, allowing her to come back and steal things from her parents' home to subsidize her in-laws' family.

She also condoned the people from other families to plot against her and steal her things; she even had to wash her brother-in-law and his wife's clothes herself.

Not only that, since she got married, Mrs. Shen secretly hid the money that Shen Jingming sent back and did not give a penny to her as his daughter-in-law.

During those three years, Shen Jingming never came back once.

After waiting for a long time, Shen Jingming finally came back, but as soon as he came back, he wanted to divorce her.

In the end, she became a second-married woman and spent the rest of her life in a shabby thatched hut in the village.

However, after marrying Lu Huaiyuan, Xu Manyue lived in harmony with her husband and lived a happy life. She even became the envied wife of the richest man.

The Xu family was also proud of Xu Manyue. When she died, they happened to see Lu Huaiyuan, who had already become the richest man, getting out of a car with the still young and beautiful Xu Manyue and returning to the village.

Everyone was happy about their arrival, and no one noticed that she died like a mad woman in a dilapidated thatched hut.

This dream was too real, like a past life.

No matter what the cost, she would never marry into the Shen family.

Thinking of this, Xu Mingyue gritted her teeth and ran up to stop Xu Manyue who was about to leave, "Cousin, don't leave yet."

Xu Manyue stopped and looked her up and down, then paused and said, "You are a smart person. I think you should know what to do."

Xu Mingyue's face turned pale, and she subconsciously clutched the hem of her clothes. She nodded and whispered.

"Don't worry, cousin, I will make your wish come true."

After saying that, she walked back and knelt down in front of Old Man Xu and Old Lady Xu, her eyes red and tears falling.

"Grandpa, grandma, I really don't want to marry him. Please help me."

"When my parents were still alive, their only wish was to cancel my engagement with the Shen family. This was their last wish, and I really don't want to disappoint them."

Old Mrs. Xu felt a little reluctant and bent down to pull her up, but Xu Mingyue dodged her and knelt on the ground, looking up at her.

"Grandma, please help me, I really can't marry into the Shen family."

Old Mrs. Xu paused, glanced at Xu Manyue who was standing not far away, and then looked at Old Man Xu.

Old Man Xu avoided her gaze and remained silent.

Severing ties is no joke.

A trace of loss flashed in Xu Mingyue's eyes, and then she looked at Xu Shanping and Tian Lanfang, tears flowing uncontrollably.

"Uncle, aunt, you know, I am my father's only child."

"I can't go against their wishes and marry into the Shen family."

"Can you please help me? I only ask you this once, just this once."

……

Xu Manyue looked at this scene, raised her eyebrows and said nothing.

Xu Mingyue was more anxious about the replacement marriage than she was.
