Chapter 6: Fiancé Comes to Break Off the Engagement

Jiang Yu held a tray in one hand, on which were two bowls of egg noodles and some grilled skewers. His brother had recovered, so he was given some grilled skewers to try.

In one hand she held a plastic bag filled with the things she bought today, "Sister Xiu, I will bring you a lot of food tomorrow. This time, it will definitely not have a fishy smell."

"it is good."

Zheng Xiu warned, "Be careful on the road."

Jiang Yu replied casually, "There is no way, don't worry, Sister Xiu!"

Zheng Xiu: "..."

……

There was no way, but Jiang Yu was also careful and called grandpa without opening his mouth.

Fortunately!
Because her brother was squatting at the kitchen door with his back to her!
"Xiao Jin?"

Jiang Yu heard voices coming from the main room and called his brother softly.

Jiang Jin turned around suddenly, and when she saw her sister, she put her index finger on her lips, "Sister, the Chen family is here to cancel the engagement."

Chen family?

Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment before she remembered that the Chen family was her future husband's family.

It’s better to quit!
Jiang Yu was secretly happy. Sister Xiu was under 18 and was a minor. She couldn't get married or find a job. There were many things she couldn't do and she had a lot of protection.

She hoped that the other party would continue to drag it out! She didn't expect that the other party would come to cancel the engagement. It was good that he canceled the engagement. She could earn money freely.

"What did grandpa say?"

"Grandpa doesn't want to quit."

Jiang Jin looked at the smile on her sister's face with difficulty, "You are already sixteen. If you quit, it will be difficult for you to get married."

Jiang Yu glanced at his brother, "Aren't you going to support me?"

"keep!"

Jiang Jin patted his chest and said, "I always support my sister. Sister, did you bring me something delicious? It smells so good."

Jiang Yu picked up the skewers on the noodles and said, "Come in and close the door."

The brother and sister hid in the kitchen and ate quietly. Grandpa Jiang in the main room looked embarrassed.
"My dear relatives, if you cancel the engagement at this time, what do you want Xiaoyu to do?"

Chen's mother glanced with disdain at the main room, which was not even as good as her kitchen. The paint on the walls was peeling and the floor was uneven and damp.

Back then, if the fortune teller hadn't told her son to find a woman born in an unlucky year, month, day and time, how could a woman from a farming family have occupied the position of her son's fiancée for more than ten years?

Fortunately, the woman her son is looking for now is also born in a yin year, yin month, yin day and yin time.

"Mr. Jiang, I respectfully call you Mr. Jiang to give you face. Don't be shameless.

You have to withdraw from this marriage today, so take these ten taels of silver as compensation for all the years you have been incurring."

After Chen's mother finished speaking, she casually threw a silver ingot on the table beside her, and glanced at the black table and the equally black stool beside her legs with disdain.

"relatives by marriage……"

Grandpa Jiang doesn't want to quit. If he does, Xiaoyu will have no way out.

"Mr. Jiang..."

A man got off the carriage parked outside the yard. He had delicate features, was of medium build, and looked a little frail in the white robe he was wearing.

As soon as the man walked into the yard, Chen's mother came up to him and shouted, "Son! Why did you come down? Don't get your shoes dirty."

Jiang Yu peeped: "..."

Ask your son to carry his legs on his shoulders when walking, and the soles of his shoes will definitely not get dirty.

"No problem."

Chen Yun held Chen's mother's arm and looked at Grandpa Jiang at the door of the main hall. Her voice was deliberately gentle.
"Since Mr. Jiang doesn't agree to cancel the engagement, there's no need for us to be so drastic. Just take her back in a sedan chair and let her be a concubine! Yao'er won't mind."

Concubine?

The original wife became a concubine just with such a casual sentence?

"boom!"

Jiang Yu knocked lightly on the kitchen door and lay down.

"Mr. Chen!" Jiang Yu came out with her sleeves rolled up. "You dare to ask me to be your concubine? I'll tear you apart."

When Chen Yun turned around, he saw a woman with a black and gray face and wearing strange clothes, walking out on the door panel on the ground.

The door panel was crackling under the woman's feet.

It felt like I was stepping on his bones, and every step hurt.

Grandpa Jiang: "..."

It's over. There's no turning back.

Chen Yun was so scared that she immediately hid behind Chen's mother, "You, don't come over here."

"shrew!"

Mother Chen was also a little frightened. If it weren't for the fact that this girl from the Jiang family always showed up in public and even fought with men, would the Chen family have canceled the engagement?

"You, you are not even worthy of being a concubine in my Chen family!"

"Then cancel the engagement!"

Jiang Yu walked up to Chen's mother and raised her fist. "Even if I die at home, I will never enter your Chen family. Not to mention a sedan chair, I won't even go with a sedan chair carried by eight people. This sedan chair is for you to sit in."

Mother Chen slapped her chest in anger, "Shrew, a shrew who is making trouble."

Chen Yun was still hiding behind Chen's mother, "How disgraceful, how disgraceful!"

At this time, another person got off the carriage outside the yard. He was dressed in silk and satin and had a short and fat figure. He was not even as tall as Jiang Yu.

The man stood outside the courtyard gate, covering his nose with his sleeve to show his disdain, "Give me ten more taels and bring the Gengtie back."

Jiang Yu looked at his grandfather expectantly.

Grandpa Jiang turned around and went into the house. With a family like this, his granddaughter would rather die at home than get married.

When the Geng Tie was exchanged, Jiang Yu snatched it and tore it into pieces after checking that it was correct. Then he ran back to the main room, picked up the ten taels of silver and threw them out of the yard.
"I don't want your compensation, go away! Never come here again, if you dare to come, I will break your dog legs."

"Snapped!"

The ten-liang silver ingot flew past Chen's father's ears, hit the carriage, and was firmly embedded in the wood.

Father Chen was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. What if this fell on him... ?
He picked up his robe and got on the carriage, "Go!"

Chen's mother and Chen Yun were also shocked. They supported each other and walked out of the Jiang family. It was a pity that they didn't marry such a fierce woman.

Jiang Yu locked the gate to block the villagers from prying eyes.

Jiang Jin ran out of the kitchen with a tray in hand, "Grandpa, eat quickly, my sister brought back some delicious food."

Grandpa Jiang sighed secretly. How could he let go of someone who was so heartless?
Jiang Yu went back to the kitchen to boil some water. After a while, he entered the main room with a bowl of water in one hand and a plastic bag in the other. "Grandpa, I bought you some cough syrup. Drink it after dinner. You will be fine in two days."

Looking at his granddaughter's stained face, Grandpa Jiang sighed again, "Xiaoyu, don't regret it in the future."

"What do I regret?"

Jiang Yu was confused, "Didn't you say that I'm not allowed to be a concubine?"

Grandpa Jiang: "..."

Forget it, let him eat and take medicine! Take good care of himself and take care of him for a few more years.

Jiang Yu winked at his brother, and Jiang Jin quickly passed the skewer to his grandfather's mouth, "Try it, it's delicious."

"you eat!"

Grandpa Jiang pushed back, "Grandpa is taking medicine, so it's not good for him to eat this kind of hot food."

Jiang Jin looked at his sister, and when he saw her nod, he put the skewer into his mouth in one bite.

Grandpa Jiang ate while watching his granddaughter take things out of the transparent bag.

"These cloth shoes are bought for you and Xiaojin. You can use these small changes to pay off your debts. Remember to buy some vegetables for Sister Xiu.

These are millet, dried noodles and eggs. There are a variety of things over there, and I will buy them slowly.

In the future, when our family builds a big courtyard, we can find a wife for Xiao Jin and buy servants for Grandpa. You can just enjoy your grandchildren and don’t beg for mercy.”

Grandpa Jiang felt a lump in his throat. Their Jiang family had actually fallen to the point where they had to let a woman go out and give massages to people to make money!
