Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious
Chapter 89 Compensation! Cutting off 3 mu of high-quality paddy fields
Seeing that the Shen family spoke so clearly, everyone in the village shook their heads. It seemed that the Shen family and the Qiao family could no longer become in-laws.
The Shen family was determined not to accept the arranged marriage.
But the Qiao family is of such a nature that they will never compromise.
But they won't give up just like that.
Old Man Qiao pointed at the Shen family and cursed, "Shen Liang and Miss Shi have been seeing each other for three months. You must have known this. The last time I and I went to your house, you were evasive and told my Xi'er to wait for two or three more years. Since you are in love with her, you deliberately acted so vaguely and deliberately tried to mislead our Qiao family's daughter. You are truly selfish and completely inhumane."
"Now that the girl is here, and you know it's settled, you're saying in front of the villagers that you don't want that child marriage. The Shen family's abacus beads are falling on my face."
"Second Uncle Qiao, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want." Boss Shen said seriously, "We didn't know about this before. Now the girl came to our house and took out a love letter written by Shen Liang. Look, it's written in my Shen Liang's handwriting. It's undeniable. Shen Liang and Xi'er have only exchanged a few words. It's no different from just acquaintances. The girl is standing here. If we don't acknowledge her, wouldn't it ruin her reputation?"
Boss Qiao clenched his fists tightly, his bones making crackling sounds, as if he could even crush stones, and veins bulged on his forehead.
His eyes were filled with raging anger. "That's also your Shen family's fault. We arranged the marriage as children, and Shen Liang knew about it when he grew up. But he didn't keep his duty and tried to hook up with a girl from a wealthy family. His misconduct is ultimately due to your Shen family's failure to teach him well. Now that the girl is here, you immediately turn your back on her. You're so disrespectful and treat the contract like a joke. Our Qiao family can't just let this go."
"You've let down my daughter and the friendship between our two families, and you still want to clap your hands and get away with it without paying any price. This is impossible." Feng said coldly.
Liu originally wanted to express Shen Liang's intention, but Shi Murou was here, so she didn't dare say such words.
"That's right, this marriage is going to be cancelled, but we will also give your Qiao family an explanation. Why don't you all go home and discuss it privately?"
Old Lady Shen said with some arrogance: "Don't worry, our Shen family is not unreasonable. We will have an explanation."
Now that she has climbed up the Shi family, she no longer pretends.
Old Mrs. Qiao laughed and said, "Let's discuss this privately. You've done this much, why would you let us, the Qiao family, settle this privately? Let's settle this in front of everyone today."
"You have gone so far as to say that we cannot possibly marry you, and we will not pity a family like you who are so treacherous. However, you broke the contract first, and you must bear the consequences of your mistake."
Shi Murou originally thought that the Qiao family would try hard to keep the Shen family and beg them, but looking at the Qiao family's attitude, it seemed that they were quite angry. The Qiao family also didn't want this marriage, which saved her the trouble.
Is this what that little girl meant?
But the Qiao family keeps saying they want an explanation, doesn’t that just mean they want money?
"Tell me what compensation you want, be straightforward, how much silver do you want."
The Shen family was delighted. Could it be that Shi Murou was going to help them pay the money? It would be great to find a girl from a wealthy family.
Seeing Shi Murou speaking so readily, Old Mrs. Qiao started to wonder. She and Old Man Qiao looked at each other. How much would be appropriate?
Ten taels, twenty taels, or thirty taels?
Qiao Jianer shook his head slightly at Old Lady Qiao.
"Sickle, what do you think?" Old Mrs. Qiao said in a low voice.
Qiao Jianer whispered to Old Lady Qiao for a while.
Old Mrs. Qiao's eyes lit up. She not only wanted money, but also a sickle.
"We don't want money."
The Shen family was stunned, but Old Lady Shen guessed it immediately: "You don't want money, you want an apology, right? When Shen Liang comes back, we, the Shen family, will all bring Shen Liang to your Qiao family's door to apologize. We can just say we're from the same village. Why bother making such a fuss and embarrassing each other? We'll see each other again in the future."
Then, Old Lady Shen looked pleased that the Qiao family had come to terms with it.
When the Qiao family saw this, they couldn't help but want to rush up and beat the guy up.
Is it possible to be treacherous and sneaky at the same time?
Old Mrs. Qiao said, "We don't want money. We want the three acres of paddy fields that belong to the Shen family and are next to our riverside fields."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the Shen family members changed.
This is their real weakness and their pain point.
The paddy fields of every household are almost fixed and can be traded with each other, but almost no one is willing to sell.
This is the protection and final bottom line for farmers.
The three acres of paddy fields of the Shen family are located on higher ground and are rarely invaded by floods every year. The soil is fertile and the yield is high, making it a treasure in the heart of old lady Shen.
Unexpectedly, the Qiao family asked them for the three acres of paddy fields as soon as they opened their mouths.
They originally thought that if they asked for money, Shi Murou would give it to them directly.
But to get land, especially such good land right under her nose, Shi Murou couldn't buy it. Even if she could, it would be far away, and it would take a lot of time to go back and forth to plant crops.
Cruel, too cruel.
"No," said Mrs. Shen sternly, "the land is the root of the farmers, it is the foundation of the farmers. Why should we give it to your family?"
Dayong: "Just because your Shen family has wronged our Qiao family, just because you are wrong."
"If we don't clear these three acres of paddy field, this matter will never end."
Qiao Zhizhi: "Yes, we only want the land, not the money. This is already a tolerance towards you."
Old Lady Shen rolled her eyes and almost fainted with anger.
"Compensate the land, compensate the land." The Qiao family raised their hands and shouted together, the sound shaking the roof tiles and startling the birds.
Led by them, many villagers also raised their hands and shouted along.
After all, they made money from the mountains thanks to the Qiao family.
"It's impossible to compensate for the land, it's impossible, don't dream about it. This is the life of our Shen family. We will protect it at all costs." Old Mrs. Shen was furious.
The other members of the Shen family were also in a panic.
At this time, Zhao Lizheng was also alarmed by the hustle and bustle here. He rushed over and asked the reason. His face suddenly became solemn.
What the Shen family does is inhumane.
He had given the engagement letter in the past, but now he was breaking it. Where did this put the Qiao family?
Seeing Qiao Xier's pale face and semi-conscious state, Zhao Lizheng sighed and couldn't bear to watch any further.
"This matter is your Shen family's fault. The Qiao family has done nothing wrong. You must make a sincere compensation to give the Qiao family an explanation."
