Chapter 4 Dissolution of the engagement
The next morning, the Ye family went down the mountain early.
"Uncle Li Zheng." Ye Jinkui first greeted Lao Li Zheng who was standing in his yard smoking a dry tobacco, and then took his wife and children into Lao Li Zheng's house.
"Kim Kyu?" Lao Li was surprised, "Why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
Ye Jinkui nodded, "We are here to ask you for help to testify. My family wants to quit the marriage with the Old Liu family."
"What?" Lao Li thought he had heard it wrong. You know, Liu Zhihong from the Liu family is a famous young genius in all corners of the country. Others are still taking the exam for the child and the scholar in their thirties and forties, but this child has become a juren at a young age.
A fifteen-year-old juren, my good-natured, is so envious that I can't sleep at night whenever I think of this these days.
Why doesn’t he have such a prosperous son-in-law? How come he has no such a future son-in-law?
Lao Lizheng, who was envious, jealous and hatred, ruthlessly took away deep sleep, could not understand which one of the protagonists Ye Jinkui, who was envious, jealous and hated by him, sang.
"I said, our family wants to quit the marriage with the Old Liu family." Ye Jinkui reiterated his purpose, "Uncle, can you give us a testimony?"
After hearing this, Li Zheng's family pricked up their ears at the same time. Lao Li looked at Ye Jinkui for a while.
"Jin Kui, what conflict is you... what are you in conflict?" Otherwise, why would you withdraw from the bride? It wasn't that the donkey kicked in the head.
Ye Jinkui didn't hide it from Lao Lizheng, "No, it's because the Liu family looked down on our family and felt that our Yuanniang was not worthy of their juren."
When Lao Li heard what he said, he suddenly lost all his doubts. He just said, how could the old Ye family dislike the old Liu family? If he wanted to dislike the old Liu family, it should be that the old Liu family dislike the old Ye family.
In fact, since Liu Zhihong passed the imperial examination, the village has never stopped gossip about his engagement with Ye Anlan.
Many people say that Ye Anlan is not worthy of Liu Zhihong, and that the Liu family will definitely withdraw from the Ye family, and even Lao Li himself has made such speculations.
Everyone was waiting to see if the Liu family used their power to suppress others and forced their marriage, or whether they would pay some money to settle the matter. It would be better to see if the Ye family was timid and wanted some benefits, and then terminate the engagement with the Liu family.
None of the villagers expected that the Ye family would struggle at all, and they would quit their marriage to the Liu family if they wanted nothing.
Lao Li was looking at Ye Jinkui, "Jinkui, have you really thought about it?"
But don’t rush into your mind at this time. In order to get out of the bride, you can’t help but start to regret it after a while.
Ye Jinkui nodded vigorously, "I've thought about it."
"If Grandpa Li Zheng is worried, we can make a document with the Liu family." Ye Anlan took a step forward, "With this document, no matter you or the Liu family, you don't have to worry about our Ye family talking about this engagement."
Ye Anlan had a long time ago, and was worried that the Ye family would mess around in the future, causing trouble for the Liu family, and causing trouble for him. She was also worried that the Liu family would stick to them with shame when they saw that they became prosperous in the future.
Of course, Ye Anlan would not say this now, otherwise others would definitely think she was crazy.
After all, the Liu family now has money, food, land, and houses. There is a juren who is less than 20 years old. However, the Ye family wants nothing, and they are a veritable poor class.
"You girl, you..."
Halfway through Lao Li's words, Liu Zhihong's mother Wang rushed in with a loud voice, "Li! Must be Li! I don't want my son to get married in the future, and there is a shameless little slut..."
"Bang!" Before Wang could finish his words, Ye Anlan was slapped on the face.
Wang was beaten and turned around in circles, while everyone present, without exception, opened their mouths and eyes widened.
"Put your mouth cleaner, do you remember?" Ye Anlan smiled. Although his tone was gentle, Wang couldn't help but tremble when he met her eyes.
"There are all people, Grandpa Lizheng, please help me write a document and testify." Ye Anlan clapped his hands twice, "By the way, you shouldn't forget to bring the jade here this time, right?"
Liu Feng, who was late at the time of Wang, walked into the old family's main house. His eyes looked at Ye Anlan with a particularly complicated look. He took out the jade pendant and handed it to Ye Jinkui, "This is the token of your family that you gave to you."
Ye Jinkui took it over and looked carefully and found that it was indeed the jade pendant he had given before. Ye Jinkui returned the silver hairpin given by the Liu family without saying a word.
Lao Li was asking his grandson to bring him a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, "What are the words written? Do you two have any ideas?"
Wang immediately said: "Just write that the Ye family cannot talk about engagements in the future, nor can they come to our Liu family's door!"
Li Shi spat, "Even if you invite us, we won't go!"
"We will not talk about the invalid engagement." Ye Anlan's eyes swept over everyone present, "But this document cannot only restrain our Ye family members."
She looked at Lao Lizheng, "It would be better to write that the Ye family and the Liu family have returned each other's token of their relatives. The engagement between Ye Anlan and Liu Zhihong has been invalidated. From today on, the two families have broken off their companions and have no relationship. They will never interact with each other until they die. No one of the two families can take the initiative to step into each other's house, do not talk to each other on their own initiative, do not provoke trouble or engage in more trouble for any reason. Violators must immediately pay the other party's silver 100 taels as compensation."
Lao Lizheng:...Where did your old Ye family get the silver pattern of 100 taels?
Wang: "If you say something to your family, you have to be tattooed with a hundred taels of silver. You're crazy about money?!"
Ye Anlan spread his hands, "You can choose not to talk to our family. I said, our Ye family will be ruthless with your Liu family from today and never interact with each other."
Lao Li thought for a while and thought it would be good to write this way, otherwise Wang would go to the Ye family to find a sense of superiority in the future, and the Ye family would be uneasy, so he would definitely have to deal with these trivial matters as well.
Thinking of this, Lao Li didn't even bother to think about the property of the Ye family. He said to Liu Feng: "Nephew Liu, why not, just write according to Yuan Niang's intention?"
Liu Feng nodded, "Finish."
Just like Lao Li, he didn't want Wang to find trouble every day without any trouble.
After all, Ye Jinkui saved his father's life. If their family and the Ye family retreated, the villagers would inevitably poke their backbone. If his wife always targeted the Ye family, even if the villagers didn't say it in the face, they would definitely gossip behind their backs.
In addition, the little girl of the Ye family is different from before. Now the Ye family is obviously much more evil.
"The head of the family!" Wang did not have as many concerns as Liu Feng, and Wang was very dissatisfied with Liu Feng's behavior of depriving her of her fun.
Liu Feng had a blue face and lowered his voice and roared Wang, "Shut up!"
When he met his vicious eyes, Wang finally became honest when he thought of the fat beat he had been last night.
