Chapter 109 Let’s Go to the Yamen
When he said this, Chang Wei, who had just arrived outside the crowd, heard it clearly!
Meng Hetang couldn't help but look at him.
Chang Wei's face was covered with veins and full of anger.
Manager Chang said, "Master, I never thought that the fortune teller was actually a trick played by him and his son!" He said, if the baby could be born, it would make no difference with anyone, but with a widow. There must be something fishy about it, but he didn't think about it in that way at the time.
Chang Wei didn't say anything, but just clenched his fists.
It was time for Meng Hetang to speak up: "This family is not a good family! Fortunately, Madam Jiang is a good person, otherwise, Brother Chang, you would be controlled by them!"
Chang Wei turned and walked away, and Meng Hetang hurriedly chased after him: "Are you just going to let them go?"
Chang Wei's face was filled with anger: "If they dare to deceive me, will I let them off easily?"
"Then we won't go look for Madam Jiang?"
"I'm not in the mood today!"
But after he finished speaking, he turned to Manager Chang and said, "Go and see what they are doing today. We will wait for you in front."
Manager Chang was stunned for a moment, then he said "oh" and turned back to watch the fun. However, he was very careful, fearing that he would be recognized by the Jiang family. He was worried about this young widow. Now he knew that the fortune teller had lied to him, but he still couldn't let go of the young widow! It's over!
......
Jiang Xiaohe said, why is it that every time Chang Wei sees her, he seems to be in heat, asking her to have a baby all the time? I guess it's all because of them!
Seeing Jiang Xiaohe in a daze, Jiang Ming stood up and said, "It's too late for you to regret now. We have already returned your ten taels of betrothal gift to Landlord Chang. Not only did we return it, we also paid him extra money. You can't be a concubine anymore."
Jiang Xiaohe almost laughed when she heard what he said: "What a joke! Why would I leave my good family behind and become someone else's concubine?"
Chen Chunlai put his hands on his hips and said, "You're just being stubborn!"
"My fist is harder!" Jiang Xiaohe gestured with the broom in his hand.
"Although I can't do anything to you and dad, I can still deal with your lazy and greedy son."
Chen Chunlai pointed at Jiang Xiaohe angrily and said, "Break off the engagement! Give me the money! I will make you lose a layer of skin today! Have you forgotten that your last name is Jiang?"
"You're dreaming! Fifty taels! Even if I throw it away, I'd rather not give it to you blood-sucking leeches!"
Wang Qiuxia quickly grabbed Jiang Xiaohe and told her not to speak so harshly!
To be honest, it's not Jiang Xiaohe's fault. She is no longer the original owner and has no feelings for the original owner's parents. She came here with one principle in mind: she will be nice to whoever treats her well!
None of the three members of the Jiang family nor Jiang Xiaohe were willing to give in, which gave Zhang Shunchang a headache. However, Jiang Xiaohe was from his village, so he naturally helped her.
"Jiang family, since Jiang Xiaohe is unwilling to pay the money to break off the engagement, you two can't break off the engagement! It's getting late now, so why don't you talk nicely!"
"Village Chief Zhang! At first, we didn't want to break up the marriage, but it was this damn girl who insisted on breaking up the marriage. Now that we want to break up the marriage and ask her to pay the money, she won't break up the marriage again. How can we talk peacefully?"
Chen Chunlai's eyes turned and he also stepped forward: "Yes! We as parents don't want to go against her wishes, but now she doesn't want to stop, alas! She can also not stop..."
When Jiang Xiaohe heard her words, she quickly grabbed her and said, "Mom!"
Jiang Ming also looked at his wife.
"If she continues now, she can kneel down and kowtow to me and her father to admit her fault, and then give us two taels of silver every month, and we will forgive her."
Jiang Dahai's eyes lit up. Two taels per month, that's fine.
"Yes, yes, my mother is right. If she kowtows to us and admits her fault, and gives us two taels of silver every month, we will forgive her. If she encounters any problems in the future, she will still have her family to rely on."
His son agreed, and Chen Chunlai looked at Jiang Xiaohe arrogantly: "You heard it, it depends on your choice."
The onlookers all shook their heads. The Jiang family really didn't treat Jiang Xiaohe as their own daughter, otherwise they wouldn't have been willing to bully her like this.
"You are such a shameless bunch of scoundrels!" Zeng Hua stood up and cursed.
Wang Qiuxia couldn't bear it any longer.
"My dear relatives, how can you be so excessive!"
Jiang Ming looked at her and said, "You can't blame us for this. If this little girl had been obedient from the beginning and married the landlord Chang, everyone would be safe! Now that it has come to this, don't blame us!"
"Ha ha ha ha....."
This sudden laughter came from Jiang Xiaohe's mouth again. Well, to be honest, she was also from the mountains before, and she knew about the dirty things in the countryside, but it was rare for a family like the Jiang family to force their own daughter like this!
She laughed so hard that tears came out. She didn't know if it was the original owner's psychological effect, but she suddenly felt sad, and her eyes became even colder when she looked at the three people from the Jiang family.
The villagers who were watching the scene, originally standing neutrally, could not help but feel some sympathy for her when they heard her sad laughter.
"Xiao He, are you okay?" Wang Qiuxia hugged her back and asked with concern.
Jiang Xiaohe patted the back of her hand and shook her head: "Don't worry, Mom, I'm fine!"
Since the three members of the Jiang family were going to fall out, she didn't want to continue arguing or discussing with them here.
"Village chief, let's go to the yamen." She looked up and said to Zhang Shunchang.
"Do you know that if you go to the government office, you will be beaten with ten boards as soon as you enter?"
Jiang Xiaohe nodded: "Today's marriage has to be finalized. Instead of having them come to our house many times to ask for money in the future, it's better to settle it all at once. Just like I said just now, when we get to the government office, I will settle the accounts with them for these days. Then we will see whether I should give it to them or they should give it to me!" She said the last sentence while looking at the three people from the Jiang family.
When the Jiang family heard her talking about going to the yamen again, they felt that the beating they received last time on their buttocks began to hurt again.
But he also felt that she was making a big deal out of nothing and trying to scare them on purpose. He had never heard of any family taking the matter to the government office to protest against a broken engagement.
"Jiang Xiaohe, don't think we're afraid of you just because you said you were going to the government office!"
"Jiang Dahe, do you think I'm trying to scare you on purpose?"
Jiang Dahai looked at her and felt that her words did not seem to scare them.
"Do you really want to make things so ugly?" Jiang Ming asked
"Aren't you guys trying to make things ugly?"
Jiang Ming stared at her with his eyes wide open. If looks could kill, Jiang Xiaohe would have been tortured to death by him!
Chen Chunlai grabbed Jiang Ming's hand and said, "Boss, we are not afraid of them! If she wants to break off the engagement, even if she goes to the government, we are right!"
