Chapter 400: The wall fell and everyone pushed it
The courtyard door of the Wang family was closed tightly, and behind them were a group of people looking at the excitement and making sarcastic remarks. Cao Erxiang, mother and son knew that there was no hope of peace talks, so they left dejectedly, carrying their things.
Before the mother and son reached the door of their house, they saw the entrance of their courtyard full of people. When they saw Cao Erxiang, mother and son coming back, the people watching the excitement stepped out of the way.
When they saw the person standing at the entrance of the courtyard, the mother and son's hearts trembled at the same time. Cao Erxiang braced herself, squeezed out a smile and greeted them.
"relatives by marriage…"
"No, our family has been an innocent family for generations, but we can't afford to be called your in-laws." The middle-aged man standing at the door of the courtyard had a straight face and didn't even look at Xu Laigui, who was standing behind Cao Erxiang.
"In-laws..." Cao Erxiang's face turned pale.
Even though he had guessed the reason why the middle-aged man came to the door, Cao Erxiang still wanted to try harder.
The future eldest daughter-in-law will have a good temperament and be nimble with her hands and feet. She will be good at work and cooking, and she can also chat well with her eldest son...
The middle-aged man pointed at the messy pile of wine, pastries, cans, malted milk, etc. beside the courtyard door.
"Why did I come today? Needless to say, you should have some idea in your mind. You brought all those things to our house. You can check and see if there is anything missing? Tell me now. I will make up the money. Here you go.”
Thinking of the gloating words from his neighbors, the middle-aged man became extremely angry.
Cao Erxiang had a smile on her face, "In-laws, our two children are going to have a happy event in the second half of the year..."
"You'd better take inventory quickly!" The middle-aged man interrupted Cao Erxiang directly.
It's disgusting enough to break your shoes.
He even engaged in slander and frame-up.
That's a human life!
He would not dare to marry his daughter into such a cruel family.
"Uncle..."
Xu Laigui felt a little uncomfortable when his father-in-law came to add insult to injury in the future.
But when he thought about the daily interactions with his partner, Xu Laigui suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, quickly took out a pack of Big Rooster cigarettes from his pocket, took out one, and handed it over with a smile.
The middle-aged man didn't reach out.
"Lai Gui, you are a good boy, but... my Juan'er is not so lucky." The middle-aged man finally felt embarrassed to say.
Xu Laigui's character is still impeccable.
Hard-working and hard-working, with nimble hands and feet.
It's a pity to have such a father.
Xu Laigui didn't like beating around the bush, "Uncle, I only know about my father's affairs. You can't overturn a whole boat of people just because my father did something wrong..."
"Since you have said all this, I will tell you something that comes from my heart. Now that your father's matter has been spread to everyone, the words are really as unpleasant as they sound. My Juan'er You have been scolded and ridiculed a lot because of your father. If you are really good to my Juan'er, just let her go."
The middle-aged man sighed, "You don't want Juan'er to follow you and live a life of being judged by others, right?"
Let’s not even mention the broken shoes for now.
Putting people to death...
It’s chilling to think about.
What the neighbors said was unpleasant, but there was one thing they said that was right.
If he loses his face and breaks off the engagement, it will not only be his daughter who will suffer, but even the children his daughter will give birth to in the future will not be able to hold their heads high as a human being.
Xu Laigui's feet swayed, and an unprecedented sadness spread from the bottom of his heart.
"It was his father who did the unscrupulous thing. My Lai Gui really didn't know anything..." Cao Erxiang hurriedly defended.
"But outsiders will only say that they are the son and daughter-in-law of Xu Youcai from Panshi Village..." The middle-aged man frowned.
When a person is imprisoned, it affects not only him but also his grandparents, fathers, and grandchildren.
From now on, not to mention joining the army, even entering a factory will be out of the question.
"I agree to cancel the engagement." Xu Laigui suppressed the reluctance in his heart and spoke out with difficulty. "Lai Gui..." Cao Erxiang looked at his eldest son with disapproval and called out in a deep voice.
Now is not the time to be impulsive.
"Uncle, go ahead and break off the engagement. I agree." Xu Laigui took out the door key from his pocket and opened the door.
When the middle-aged man saw that Xu Laigui agreed to cancel the engagement, he left without saying a word.
Cao Erxiang and Xu Laifu saw that the marriage was already in trouble, and knowing that there was no use in talking, they picked up the things that the middle-aged man had left at the door of the courtyard and entered the house.
The people who were watching the fun saw that the show was over and were just about to turn around and leave.
I saw a man and a woman walking towards this side carrying large and small bags.
The man was wearing a straight tunic suit and black cloth shoes. Looking at his style, he didn't look like an ordinary man with mud-legged legs who worked in the fields.
The woman following the man was wearing a green military jacket and dark blue cloth trousers, and her hands were white when carrying things.
At first glance, it seems that they are not hands for rough work.
"Isn't that Xu Laifu's future father-in-law and mother-in-law?" A sharp-eyed person said.
"Yo! You can carry a lot of things in your hands!"
"We've been together for a year or two, can we have less stuff?"
Needless to say, everyone knows what it means to bring something at this juncture.
"Xu Youcai stole the chicken but lost a lot of rice."
"It's been eight lifetimes of bad luck for Xu Laigui and Xu Laifu to have such a father."
"Now that the engagement is broken off, who girl will dare to enter his old Xu's house in the future?!"
"Do you think Su Changhe and Wang Chunmei will return Xu Youcai's daughter?"
"It's hard to say!"
"Stop talking, stop talking, Xu Laifu's father-in-law and mother-in-law are here." Seeing the middle-aged man and woman approaching, someone whispered to the people who were discussing fiercely.
The spectators saw the person approaching and consciously gave up the position of the courtyard gate.
Cao Erxiang, who had carried his things back to the house, had just turned around and was about to close the courtyard door when a middle-aged man and woman came in carrying their things.
Seeing what the two of them were carrying, Cao Erxiang's head buzzed.
A deep sense of powerlessness spread throughout my body.
Before she could speak, the middle-aged man and woman put the things in front of her.
"No need for us to say more, right?"
"In-laws..." Cao Erxiang's throat was stiff and her eyes turned red.
The eldest son’s marriage has just ended...
"Don't scream, we don't have any relatives in jail." The middle-aged woman rolled her eyes, "You'd better order some things, lest we leave later and you say something is missing."
Xu Laifu was already impatient, but when he heard this, he couldn't bear it. He pointed at the open courtyard door and roared angrily.
"roll!"
The middle-aged woman was frightened and dragged the middle-aged man away.
"In-laws..." Cao Erxiang still wanted to chase after her.
"Mom, let them go. I don't believe that I, Xu Laifu, can't live without my mother-in-law." Xu Laifu's face was dark and sullen, and there was uncontrollable anger in his eyes.
Cao Erxiang watched helplessly as the middle-aged man and woman disappeared at the entrance of the hospital, tears rolling down uncontrollably.
