Burning down my ex-husband's house! I won't raise these bastard children anymore

Chapter 70: Several Families All Requested to Cancel the Engagement

Lin Feng was not vague and directly instructed them to put all the plastic films into the ancestral hall. After cleaning the hall a little, he had cleared out a place specifically for these things.

Lin Panpan went straight home. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Su Xiulan and Lin Dashan had not rested yet.

Su Xiulan's eyes turned red, and Lin Panpan asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Su Xiulan was furious:

"I went to see the matchmaker today. Last time, He Hua's family collected 88 yuan for the engagement, but they refused to return it.

They said they would marry the girl for a 2000 yuan gift, but it was us who broke our promise and broke off the engagement. How could this be justified?"

Lin Panpan looked at Lin Weihua and asked, "Third brother, what do you think?"

Lin Weihua sighed and said, "Actually, I've only met He Hua twice. I... I don't have any feelings for her."

Su Xiulan also sighed and said, "Isn't it because I think she is honest, hardworking and willing to work hard?"

Lin Panpan shook her head and said, "Actually, I don't think the He family is any good either. We have to get those few dozen dollars back, otherwise it will be a huge loss."

Lin Panpan was so tired that she went straight to bed. She slept until she woke up naturally, and as soon as she woke up, she heard a commotion outside.

"What does your Lin family mean by this? Are you kidding me? This is the engagement money. Why should we return it to you?" He Hua's mother spoke in a loud voice.

Lin Panpan put on her clothes and just walked to the door, she heard Su Xiulan's voice:

“Indeed, this is an engagement gift, but now our two families are no longer connected, right?

Why don't you return the engagement money to our family?"

"Hey! It's your family that doesn't want to get married, not my daughter. You still want a deposit? No way." He Hua's mother roared loudly.

Su Xiulan was also so angry that she cursed:

"Who wants 2000 yuan as a betrothal gift for marrying off their daughter?

Are you marrying off your daughter or selling her? Everyone, please judge. Does this make sense?

He Hua's mother yelled loudly:

"Oh my! How dare you say that?

Your daughter married into the Zhou family, and when they divorced, didn't they give your family several thousand?"

Su Xiulan shouted:

"You're talking nonsense. What thousands of yuan? When my daughter came back, she took 800 yuan.

This is the money my daughter earned from working so hard selling tofu."

"Who would believe that?" He Hua's mother said with disdain.

The people from Hejia Village over there also laughed and said:

"Yeah! Who would believe such nonsense?

Besides, isn't your family rich now? What's wrong with offering a 2000 yuan betrothal gift?

"Look at how beautiful our He Hua is. Is your Lin Weihua good enough for her?"

"Isn't it? Our He Hua is so capable and blessed. How can a peasant like Lin Weihua be worthy of her?"

He Hua stood aside with a red face, not saying a word.

He Hua's mother's face was full of superiority:

"The fortune teller said that He Hua of our family will be able to give birth to several sons in the future. She is destined to have many children and good fortune.

Besides, everyone knows how hardworking our He Hua is. If you don't want our He Hua, it will be a loss for your Lin family."

He Hua's father also stood aside and said, "Anyway, 2000 yuan is not a lot of money. Your Lin family can afford it. How about giving me a definite answer?"

Lin Panpan looked at them and said:

"We don't have the 2000 yuan, but if you don't return the 88 yuan, my family doesn't want it anymore. I'll just give it to you as a gift.

But when you marry that man in town, we will definitely go to see you off with drums and gongs.

If you think it's suitable, then let's cancel this marriage!"

He Hua's mother squinted her eyes and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"It's nothing. Didn't you want the 88 yuan? I'm giving it to you. That's all."

Lin Panpan looked at them coldly and said:

"But when you get married, my family will definitely let the man know about this.

Otherwise, wouldn’t our family be at a great loss?”

The He family is just disgusting. They act like they want both the 88 yuan and the 2000 yuan. They know clearly that the other party can't afford the 2,000 yuan, but they make up these excuses just to get the 88 yuan.

How could Lin Panpan accept this?

He Hua tearfully asked, "Lin Weihua, are you really going to do this?"

Lin Weihua sneered and said:

"He Hua, can you figure it out? Who did this?

If you want to marry someone in town, I won't stop you. If you want to live a good life, then we can part ways amicably.

But no one gets 88 yuan out of thin air, and you're trying to take it too much, isn't that too much?"

"Isn't it? The He family is too evil."

"Pfft...it's like having many children and a lot of blessings! Wouldn't it be bad luck for anyone to marry a daughter-in-law like this?"

"Isn't that what I said? Anyway, our family doesn't want a daughter-in-law like that. She's also very hardworking! What's the point of being more hardworking?"

A group of people were pointing and talking over there. Mother He was so angry that she shouted, "Bah! Men like you are so stingy. I want to see what kind of partner you find."

"That's right! This Linjia Village is so poor, and they still want to find a girl from our village. Bah! What a daydream."

He's father also said loudly:

"I just think your Lin Village is poor, what's wrong? Are you guys not allowed to say it?

Ask yourself, is Linjia Village the poorest?

I think it’s unlucky to marry my daughter to someone from your Linjia Village…”

Everyone around was silent. Everyone in Lin Village lowered their heads. Suddenly, someone said, "Why do I remember a girl like He San also planning to marry someone from Lin Village?"

He San came out and said:

"Then my daughter won't get married. Linjia Village is really too poor. Even the daughters of good families can't stand it.

We still live in mud houses, who knows what might happen one day?"

"Yes, my daughter won't get married either..."

"My family won't marry..."

Suddenly, more than a dozen families all proposed to cancel the engagement. He Hua's mother said proudly, "Are you Linjia Village happy now? I want to see what kind of daughter-in-law you Linjia Village can marry in the future?"

"Hahaha... I'm dying of laughter. This is the first time I've encountered such a thing. Lin Panpan, you're really a disaster." Zhao Damei covered her mouth and laughed.

She and He Hua's mother are good sisters, and this time it was she who instigated He Hua's mother to do this.

Lin Panpan looked at her and frowned, "Sister Zhao, it turned out to be you who did this."

Zhao Damei sneered and said:

"What do you mean it was me who did this? Who made your Linjia Village so poor?

I can't let my goddaughter marry into a family like yours.

As for what happens to other families, I can't control it.

Lin Panpan, you are such a disaster! You might as well come back to my Zhou family. My family won't despise you.

You can just make tofu at home and help take care of the kids. You'll always have something to eat when the time comes. What do you think?"
