Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Shen Liang was petrified instantly.

He felt as if a basin of ice water was poured over his head, and every part of his body was frozen.

He said slowly and stiffly, "Go to Datian Village and read the letter of guarantee I wrote to you?"

When Shi Murou mentioned this matter, it was as natural and simple as drinking water. It was obviously impossible to fake it, but Shen Liang still wanted to confirm it again. He couldn't believe it was true.

"Yeah, yeah. I kept it a secret at first and didn't tell the villagers it was you who wrote it. Everyone was guessing for a while, and even guessed it was another man. Humph, do they think they're worthy of me?"

"The Qiao family and the Shen family broke off their child engagement?"

"Of course, I brought several thugs with me. Even if they didn't want to, they wouldn't dare disobey. Brother Shen Liang, you'll be quiet from now on. I know you've been in a difficult situation. Although you have no feelings for the girl you betrothed as a child, after all, your parents betrothed you since you were young. People in the same village still have some affection for each other, so it's hard for you to get rid of it and you're deeply distressed. I've solved such a big problem for you now. Are you happy?"

Shen Liang stared at Shi Murou blankly. He felt that the beautiful dream he had built was shattered to the ground after he was frozen.

Not only is there no hope at the Qiao family, but Qiao Xier can no longer be his concubine.

At the Shi family, Shi Murou had gone to Datian Village to cause a scene. They must have thought it was him who instigated it, that the man's family couldn't wait to finalize the marriage. How would they view him then? His only remaining two hopes were crushed completely.

Shen Liang's eyes gradually turned red.

Shi Murou was immersed in joy, but when she saw Shen Liang's expression, she couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Shen Liang, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"

Shen Liang slammed his chopsticks heavily on the table.

Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore: "You ruined all my plans."

Shi Murou was frightened and said, "What?"

Shen Liang sneered at her and said, "Yes, I did have a childhood marriage, but I never thought of marrying that girl. I was planning to find an opportunity to properly break off ties with their family. It will definitely not affect the relationship between you and me."

"But you actually ran to Datian Village ahead of time and caused such a big scene, making things awkward for both of us, and the Qiao and Shen families became enemies."

Shen Liang was not at the scene, but he could imagine that with the Qiao family's temper, how could they let the Shen family off?

"It's okay to make a fuss. What's the big deal? Besides, that child marriage is no longer valid. How can the relationship between your two families be good? It's better to break it off cleanly, so that they don't hold out hope again and make you uneasy."

"What did the Qiao family say? Did they ask for any compensation?"

"They didn't ask for anything. They just wanted the three mu of paddy field next to yours by the river."

Shen Liang took a deep breath and felt a pang of pain in his heart.

Those three acres of paddy fields were top-quality fields, and one acre could be sold for fifteen taels of silver. This was equivalent to a direct loss of forty-five taels of silver.

Not to mention the annual loss of food—

Shen Liang clenched his fists and closed his eyes.

After trying hard to restrain himself for a while, he finally managed to speak: "Do you know what your family will think if you do this?"

"My appearance in your village is like a done deal. My father might agree to this marriage as soon as possible for my reputation. I'm going to ask him about it."

A bitter smile appeared on Shen Liang's lips, fearing that the Shi family would rather kill him directly.

The claim that if he has an affair with a daughter of a wealthy family, they will marry their daughter to him is fake.

These are just sour words written by down-and-out scholars.

In reality, not only should you stay away from someone who is not a good match, you should not have any improper thoughts about him. Even if a young lady accidentally gets into trouble and is rescued by someone, as long as that person accidentally touches the lady's body, he may be in danger of death.

So he was very cautious and careful, just hoping that one day he could win the favor of Master Shi.

Originally, people turned a blind eye and allowed them to have some private interactions. Now that such a big thing has happened, how could the Shi family let him go?

People will only think that he is ignorant, calculating, and has ulterior motives.

At this moment, Shen Liang broke out in cold sweat all over his body.

"You can't tell your family about this for now. Ask those who followed you to keep their mouths shut."

"Why?" Shi Murou couldn't understand.

Shen Liang opened his eyes, spitting out flames of anger: "Because you made a huge mistake. Because the time is not right, you did something stupid. Because you might cost me my life."

Shi Murou was frightened and trembled, staring at him in a daze.

"How could that be? I went there to help you solve a problem, and now that it's solved, not only don't you thank me, but you're being mean to me, as if I did something wrong."

"Solve the problem?" Shen Liang sneered.

"You've caused me a lot of trouble. Didn't I tell you not to do anything about me lightly? If you want to do anything, you have to discuss it with me first. You didn't listen to a word I said."

"I, I want to give you a surprise."

"What surprise? This is a complete shock." Shen Liang leaned dejectedly in his chair. The sumptuous dinner gradually became cold, and he had no appetite to eat.

"It's too late to salvage the situation now. I just want you to keep it a secret from your family. I'll find a solution."

"Otherwise..." Shen Liang looked at Shi Murou: "You will kill me, and you will live in regret and guilt for the rest of your life. Don't even think about seeing me again."

Shi Murou was even more frightened when she saw that she didn't seem to be joking. She quickly grabbed his sleeve and said, "Okay, okay, don't be so serious. I'll listen to you."

Shen Liang didn't want to analyze the detailed reasons with her. It was impossible to keep it a secret for a long time. He estimated that the Shi family would know about this matter within three days, or at most five or six days.

"For the next few days, try not to let your family go out. If they go out to buy things, have your people accompany them. Don't listen to hearsay or nonsense."

"Then I'll figure it out."

Shi Murou didn't understand. She couldn't comprehend the horror of this matter at all, but seeing Shen Liang's expression, she agreed to everything he said.

Shen Liang supported his forehead with his hands. What should he do now? What should he do to offset the consequences of what Shi Murou had done?

The next day, at dawn, after breakfast, the Qiao family members went up the mountain, ran errands, and went to the fields according to the assignment made the day before.

Qiao Laosan took Da Meng and Xiao Meng to do some work, including Qiao Yunni.

"I'll go with you." said Qiao Lianer.

She knew that her third uncle and his family were going to the county town to do some work, but she had never been there before.

"Okay, Jian'er will go too, to broaden his horizons." Qiao Dameng said that he had been to the county town several times, and it was incomparable to the town.
