After these words were spoken, it seemed that Old Lady Shen was also a little surprised, and the sound of "ouch, ouch" paused for a moment.

"you--"

Liu was a little furious, but she quickly suppressed her emotions and walked in. "Ah, please don't say such harsh words. Our two families have been friends for so many years, and you still want to return the engagement letter. How can it come to this? Uncle Qiao, Aunt Qiao, please control this girl and tell her to stop talking nonsense, otherwise it will affect the relationship between our two families."

Old Mrs. Qiao rolled her eyes silently and said helplessly, "Sickle's temper is something we two old people can't control. If you agree to her, we will take her back. Otherwise, we don't know when we will get her back."

The Shen family has this attitude. They will not leave until they get a definite answer.

Let's make things clear today.

Qiao Jianer: "We only want an answer, but you're beating around the bush and not giving a direct answer. What does this mean? By not responding to such an important question of mine, aren't you afraid of affecting the relationship between our two families?"

She repeated, "Do you want this marriage? Do you want Brother Shen Liang to marry my eldest cousin?"

Shen Xiu also walked in. She was seventeen years old, a little short, with a round face, and an average appearance.

"Grandpa Qiao and Grandma Qiao, don't worry. Our Shen family will give Sister Xier an explanation. Sister Xier is still young, so waiting two or three more years is the most appropriate. This is also for Sister Xier's own good."

In the end, it's just avoiding the question.

The two elders' faces were already cold and gloomy.

Old Mrs. Qiao was silent for a moment, but then she calmed down.

"Do you think our Qiao family is easy to bully?"

The Qiao family is good at fighting. Although Mrs. Qiao and Mr. Qiao are old, their bones are very nimble and strong.

He can go up the mountain and down the field faster than young people, and carry stones and tree trunks better than young people.

He crossed the half-meter-wide ditch without blinking an eye.

Not to mention the young people in the Qiao family, just these two old men would make people feel a sense of pressure when they stand in front of others.

So when Old Lady Qiao spoke, the faces of the Shen family members changed.

This is preparation for war.

"Aunt Qiao, what do you mean? We were talking just fine, why are you going to fight again?" Liu looked alert.

Old Lady Qiao swept her eyes over the three people present, with a tigress's contempt: "What are you talking about? You are three weak women, big and small. Wouldn't it be too much of a bully for me to hit you?"

"I just hope that there will be a good explanation for the children's marriage."

"You, the Shen family, are so hesitant. You are really disrespectful."

"If you really take our Qiao family seriously, then you should speak human language."

Seeing that the Qiao family refused to leave, Old Lady Shen knew that it was useless to pretend to be in pain or faint, so she simply held on to the stool and straightened her body.

"What else do you want to hear? I've told you everything I need to say, Qiao's sister-in-law. You can't be unreasonable."

She seemed to have made a difficult decision: "Let's put it this way, your family is not easy either. Even if you earn money now, you have to be busy building a house. Bring back three or five kilograms of rice and flour to support the family. It's a small token of our Shen family's appreciation. Please stop making trouble."

After saying these words, Old Lady Shen's face twitched in pain.

The Shen family has achieved its current fortune not only because of their business, but also because they have become increasingly stingy.

Three to five pounds of rice and flour, the two elders and one child of the Qiao family almost laughed when they heard it. Old man Qiao looked up at the void in silence, with sadness in his eyes.

Thinking back to when Old Man Shen was alive, the Shen family was better off than the Qiao family. Old Man Shen would send some things to the Qiao family from time to time. Of course, the Qiao family would not take it for free. They would also give the prey they caught to the Shen family. After Old Man Shen died, the two families kept in touch. The Shen family sent fewer things, but there was still a warm and sincere heart.

Later, the Shen family went into business, and when they met, they only exchanged polite smiles. There was no sign of friendship, and they no longer interacted with the Qiao family.

Now, the Shen family's thoughts are finally clearly revealed.

Old man Qiao felt sad. Old man Shen, what do you feel when you see this situation over there?

Old Mrs. Qiao sneered, "It seems you won't cry until you see the coffin. You have other plans in your mind, but you are unwilling to let my granddaughter go and want to delay her lifelong event. You have gone too far, so don't blame me for being rude."

She stood up suddenly.

"Then let the villagers decide this matter. If you refuse to answer, you will have to give an answer when the villagers come."

As he said this, he was about to go out and call for help.

"Old sister, you can't do this. This will ruin the reputation of our Shen family. How can we do business in this town?"

Old Mrs. Shen rushed over and hugged Old Mrs. Qiao.

"It's you who are going to ruin my granddaughter's future." Old Mrs. Qiao's eyes were moist. If the Shen family had been more sincere, how could she be willing to go this far?

If the Shen family doesn't plan to arrange this marriage, then they should make it clear so that she can find someone else for Xier. Otherwise, after two years, when all the good young men of marriageable age have been picked, what will Xier do?

Fortunately, they felt something was wrong, so even the girl's family took the trouble to come to the Shen family in person.

After this investigation, they found that they were not overthinking.

Old Mrs. Qiao was now terrified and extremely angry.

"Get out of the way. This matter must be explained today."

Old Mrs. Qiao was very strong and easily pushed Old Mrs. Shen away.

She stepped out of the door and hurried out to the yard: "Everyone, come and see, come and see, come and judge for yourself——"

"Old sister, I'm kneeling down for you." The shrill voice of Old Lady Shen came from behind.

Old Mrs. Qiao stopped and looked back, only to see Old Mrs. Shen holding onto the door and slowly kneeling down.

Liu desperately supported Old Lady Shen: "Mom, you are old and have cold legs, how can you kneel on the ground?"

Old Man Qiao was furious: "You are really pushing me too far."

Liu: "We said everything we could to please you, but you refused to give in."

The two sides fell into a confrontation.

Qiao Jian'er thought for a while, then said, "Grandpa, Grandma, let's go back first."

Being made to kneel down by someone will shorten your life and bring bad luck.

Old Mrs. Qiao looked at Qiao Jianer, her pair of bright black eyes were firm, and she obviously had an idea.

She let out a breath of foul air in anger. "Okay, go back. But our Qiao family will not give up on this matter. You'd better not have those shady thoughts. Otherwise, I will roll in front of your shop."

"Old sister, don't say such harsh words." Mrs. Shen breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart was in turmoil again: "The Shen family will definitely explain to you, just go back and wait."

The two elders and the child left. Qiao Jianer was holding the food box that had never been opened. Shen Xiu caught up with them, carrying a cloth bag filled with rice and flour.

"No need." Old Mrs. Qiao didn't answer.

Do not care.

The three of them walked out of the Shen family's door without looking back.
