Time Travel: A Fisherwoman Goes to the Sea to Raise a Baby

When Ma Rongjuan heard the maid's words, she thought she had misheard.

"Can you say that again!"

"My lady, the young lady from the Xu family is asking to see you with a big bag of things."

Ma Rongjuan felt relieved when she heard this. Her family conditions were decent, but she just liked to take advantage of Xu Yiyi.

When I saw my son coming back empty-handed that day, I didn't say it, but I was unhappy in my heart.

"Put it there first and ask her to wait for a cup of tea before bringing it in."

Ma Rongjuan had to give her a warning, otherwise she would not obey him in the future.

……

The sun was scorching, and Matchmaker Fang, feeling bloated and puffy, was sweating as he stood at the door.

"No wonder you want to cancel the engagement. A family like the Zhong family can only marry a girl of higher status than them, otherwise they will be bullied to death."

Xu Yiyi didn't comment, she just wanted to cancel the engagement.

As soon as the tea time was up, a maid came running over with an apologetic look on her face.

"I'm really sorry, my wife wasn't feeling well, so that delayed us a bit."

The new maid didn't know the matchmaker Fang, otherwise she wouldn't dare to do this.

Matchmaker Fang came to the hall in anger. Ma Rongjuan was arrogant and started to panic when she saw Matchmaker Fang.

"Mrs. Fang, I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I'm just happy to see you enjoying your tea..."

Ma Rongjuan greeted them with a smile, secretly cursing the maid in her heart. If she knew that matchmaker Fang was coming with her, she would never dare to let anyone wait outside, even if she was beaten to death.

"No need for tea. To make a long story short, the Xu family and the Zhong family are not destined to be together. I'm here to cancel the engagement on behalf of the young lady of the Xu family. Here's the document. Take a look at it. If there's no problem, please sign and seal it."

The letter of annulment had been written long ago, but it was because of Ma Rongjuan's incident.

Matchmaker Fang was also unwilling to say polite words to her.

Seeing the letter of cancellation of engagement, Ma Rongjuan was dumbfounded. She was willing to let Xu Yiyi come in, but this little girl actually wanted to cancel the engagement?

"I have already told Zhong Congyun that this was a gift given when we got engaged, and I will return it all after the engagement is cancelled."

Ma Rongjuan felt a little disdainful when hearing Xu Yiyi's words.

"Return it all? Can you afford it? The engagement gift includes..."

He didn't manage to show off because his attention was diverted by what Xu Yiyi took out.

"It's just some soft brocade."

"Madam Zhong, the engagement gifts are now ready. We just need to sign and seal them before we can return them."

Ma Rongjuan was a little dumbfounded. It was a good thing that she didn't want this marriage.

But when Xu Yiyi brought it up, I felt a little uncomfortable.

"Do you know what you are doing? My Zhong family is a very noble family. It is a blessing for us to choose you as our daughter-in-law. How dare you..."

Xu Yiyi and matchmaker Fang looked at her with annoyance.

"I can't afford this blessing, and my sister-in-law won't send me away. Since it doesn't satisfy both parties, let's cancel the engagement!"

As soon as Zhong Congyun entered the hall, he heard Xu Yiyi's cold and ruthless words and was somewhat unbelievable.

Is this still the gentle and intellectual Xu Yiyi from before?

"Don't waste time now that the real owner is back."

Matchmaker Fang handed the letter of cancellation of engagement to Zhong Congyun, and the two repeatedly asked to cancel the engagement.

This was a complete loss of face for Ma Rongjuan. She ignored what her husband said and directly ordered her son to press his fingerprints.

Zhong Congyun naturally refused, but before he could say anything, his hand had already pressed on the divorce agreement.

He never knew his mother was so strong.

"In that case, then bring out the original marriage certificate."

The document of breaking off the engagement is made in duplicate, and the three parties jointly press their fingerprints to confirm it, and each family keeps one copy for safekeeping.

After getting the engagement certificate, Xu Yiyi tore it up directly.

This behavior almost angered Ma Rongjuan to death.

The engagement gift and token of love were returned, and the token of love given by the Xu family was taken back. From then on, the marriage was completely severed.

After leaving the Zhong family, my mood improved.

"The Zhong family is not worthy of a girl like you. I will keep an eye on you and help you find a husband of your dreams."

Matchmaker Fang looked down on families like the Zhong family, and felt sorry for Xu Yiyi's situation, so she decided to find a good family for her.

"Forget about the ideal husband. My sister-in-law is still young, so let's not think about it for now."

Xu Yiyi refused without hesitation, and then went back to cancel the engagement after getting engaged, which was so troublesome.

"You can't not get married, right? Don't worry, I'll find you a sister-in-law who is willing to accept you."

Some families don't care about these things, as long as they can feed their children and raise them up.

After Xu Yiyi clearly refused, he ran to the dock.

At this time, the person who brought the letter to Zhong Xiang also came to Zhong's house. Ma Rongjuan was a little scared when she saw the content of the letter.

As soon as I retired from the kissing, I saw the news that my husband wanted us to get married right away.

If her husband knew about this, she would definitely be blamed.

"Son! Doesn't Yiyi like you very much? Wait for her to calm down in a few days, then go and coax her back!"

Ma Rongjuan asked tentatively, but Zhong Congyun became furious.

"You were the one who insisted on withdrawing from the kiss, and now you want me to get her back. Don't you think that's ridiculous?"

Zhong Congyun, who was forced to press his fingerprints, also felt resentful towards his mother.

Ma Rongjuan felt very aggrieved. She had no idea that Xu Yiyi had established a relationship with the officials of Zhechou Mansion after just one trip to the provincial capital.

The husband was eager to return to Chang'an and tried his best to please others just to get a letter of recommendation.

If her husband knew that she had called off the marriage, she would probably be divorced too.

I really regret it.

It happened just in the blink of an eye. If the messenger had arrived earlier, this wouldn't have happened.

For this reason, Ma Rongjuan took her anger out on the person who delivered the letter.

When Xu Yiyi got home, there was no one at home. For some reason, she started to miss home after being away for a day.

So I put my things down and went out.

Er'er was carrying Wuyuan on his back to go fishing, while Sanchuan and Sihai went to learn swimming again.

Villagers were mending their fishing nets and repairing their boats, as the fishing season was about to begin.

When it comes to livelihood, no one is careless.

Xu Yiyi took a look at the big ship and wondered when she would be able to buy a ship like this?

"Sister——"

Er'er started shouting at the top of his lungs, waking up the sleeping Wu Yuan. The two children were crying and shouting, and the noise was unbearable.

"Sister, you're finally back. I was worried about you."

Except for his father, no one in the family had ever been to the provincial capital, so Er'er felt timid.

In addition, her father had an accident in the provincial capital, which made her even more worried.

"What's the matter? I'm just going to buy some things, don't worry about it."

Xu Yiyi picked up Wu Yuan who was crying out for her to hold him. A two-month-old baby was very light.

It's so small that it makes people feel sad just looking at it.

"Broken off the engagement?"

Aunt Li knew the purpose of Xu Yiyi's trip, but unfortunately she couldn't persuade her.

Li Xiuying on the side had a complicated expression. Xu Yida must have gone crazy.

The young man from the captain's family is a family that many people cannot marry into.

Her parents have all died and she has several children with her. Shouldn't she hold on to this marriage even more tightly at this time?

Why did you cancel the engagement?

"Return."

Xu Yiyi didn't care. She wasn't a hot commodity, so for her, this marriage was no more worthwhile than a meal of prawns.

"I don't know what to say to you. Once this kiss is over, the burden on you will be even heavier."

Aunt Li couldn't understand.

"It doesn't matter. I can live well without the Zhong family. Marriage is not the only way out for a woman."

Xu Yiyi has great ambitions and with the treasure trove of the sea at her back, how could she and her younger siblings starve to death?
