After being reborn, the young master returned to his village and led his wife and daughters to prosp

Sister Zhu secretly made up her mind.

Meanwhile, Lin Fan, whom she was quite grateful to, was leading his family into the county town.

Today is the formal meeting between the two families, and Lin Fan has also prepared the betrothal gifts!

First, there was a thick wad of cash, a total of five thousand yuan.

In addition, they also went to the county town and bought bicycles, electric fans, washing machines, and televisions—the four major items!

Then they hired an old car, hung red silk ribbons on it, tied all these things to the roof, and set off in a grand procession!

"Xiao Fan, isn't it too expensive to bring so much stuff?"

Inside the car, Lin Zhi looked at Lin Fan and spoke somewhat awkwardly, his face filled with deep guilt and apology.

His third brother earns money with great difficulty, yet Lin Fan spent so much money to buy him so many things for his engagement, and he even paid for the bride price. This made him, as the second brother, feel very uncomfortable.

"Second brother, we're all brothers, why are you being so polite with me?"

"I am able to achieve what I have today because you and my parents have taken care of me since I was a child, giving me the best of everything, including food, drink and clothes, and giving me the opportunity to study."

"Now it's my turn to repay you, so you can't be polite with me. Prepare more, it's also to save face for your sister-in-law's family, isn't it?"

"After all, my sister-in-law's family is from the county town, and she's married to a country bumpkin like us. We can't let her down, can we?"

Lin Fan smiled and said that the things above his head represented the sincerity of the Lin family and Lin Fan's attitude.

He wanted to reassure the Xie family elders that Xie Hongye wouldn't be mistreated by coming into their home.

"Alright, I won't say thank you, Second Brother. Anyway, thank you, Second Brother."

A rare look of deep affection appeared on the dark-skinned man's face as he gazed at Lin Fan with a deeply moved expression.

Lin Fan patted Lin Zhi on the shoulder, and the two brothers smiled at each other, everything understood without words.

The car sped along the country road.

Just before Lin Fan and his group arrived, Xie Family Tailor Shop was greeted by a group of uninvited guests.

"Thank you, old man!"

"Long time no see! I heard you've made a lot of money selling fur coats lately. Shouldn't you pay me back the money you owe me back then?"

With a loud crash, the door to the Xie family's shop was kicked open, and two or three burly men entered the house.

The leader had a shiny bald head, but wore a well-tailored suit, revealing a tattoo on his chest, which looked somewhat incongruous.

As soon as he entered the door, before he even saw anyone, he started shouting loudly.

Hearing the commotion outside, Xie Yuan and his wife hurriedly came out of the inner room. When they saw who it was, their faces darkened completely.

"It's you again. What exactly do you want?"

The elderly couple looked at the man in front of them, a flash of anger crossing their eyes, and then questioned him with grim faces.

The newcomer nonchalantly touched his bald head and chuckled, "What? Didn't you hear me speaking so loudly? Pay up!"

The elderly couple, their faces ashen, angrily retorted, "We've already paid back all the money we owed you. What more do you want?"

The bald man laughed and kicked the door frame.

"Payed it all back? I don't remember that."

"Old man Xie, have you forgotten how you bought your shop in the first place? I lent you the money, so I have a share in this shop!"

"Every penny you earn in this shop should be split in half with me. How can you possibly pay me back?"

"Of course, if you don't want to change, that's fine too. But like I said, as long as you agree to marry Hongye to me, then this matter is settled. We'll be family then, so why talk about money? That would be too formal!"

The bald man's thieving eyes kept darting into the house, but he couldn't see Xie Hongye.

The feud between them dates back to a few years ago when they first moved to Liangshan County.

The elderly couple were not locals; they had only ended up in Liangshan County to beg for food because their hometown had suffered a disaster.

At that time, Xie Hongye was only seventeen or eighteen years old. After they arrived in Liangshan County, they met Zheng Lu, who is the bald man in front of them.

Zheng Lu was a loan shark. At first, when he saw Xie Yuan and his family in their shabby state, he had no intention of helping them. But when he saw Xie Hongye, he suddenly had evil intentions.

So he pretended to be a good person, not only lending the elderly couple a large sum of money, but also helping them settle down in Liangshan County and buying the shop.

Then he came to fawn over the old couple every day, hoping they would marry Xie Hongye to him.

Although the elderly couple were grateful that he had helped them in their most critical moment, how could they not see through his ulterior motives?

They had no relatives or friends in Liangshan County and no one to rely on. If their daughter was wronged or bullied after marrying into the family, she would have no one to talk to. So naturally, they would not so easily marry their daughter to such a scoundrel.

So, after a while, Zheng Lu couldn't get what he wanted, and gradually revealed his true colors, urging them to return the money every day and even coming to the shop to cause trouble.

The elderly couple ran a tailor shop and worked hard for several years to finally pay off their debts. But this guy was still relentless, claiming that all the money the couple earned from the shop in the future must be shared with him.

The elderly couple were forced into a corner, but they refused to give in. They even said they would return the shop to Zheng Lu and leave with their daughter.

Without the elderly couple running the shop, it was of little use to you, so Zheng Lu's business quieted down for a while.

However, Zheng Lu must have gotten wind of the fact that Hongye Tailor Shop's business is booming again, so he had malicious intentions and came to cause trouble.

"You...you shameless bastard, we've already paid back the money. If you come back to cause trouble again, don't blame us for calling the police!"

Upon hearing the words "call the police," Zheng Lu reacted as if he had heard a hilarious joke.

He slammed his hand on the glass counter and laughed, "Paying back debts is a matter of course. I'm not afraid of calling the police. What can the police do to me?"

"Besides, I didn't steal or rob anything here. What law did I break? Let me tell you the truth, old man Xie, if you don't pay up, we'll come to your shop every day from now on, and nobody will dare to come in!"

Upon hearing this, the elderly couple's expression changed.

If these scoundrels are really determined to cause trouble, you can use any means necessary.

For example, they would throw feces at the entrance and scare customers inside the store; that's what they did a few years ago.

Even if you call the police, they'll just try to smooth things over, since the person hasn't done anything seriously wrong.

The old couple were furious that their good days were about to be ruined by these guys, and Xie Hongye rushed out from the inner room when she heard the commotion.
