Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

So she quickly changed her tone, saying, ”I also know that you’ve gotten on well with that Li Family girl, and our Xiaocui’s engagement can’t be saved. The engagement can be called off, but you can’t throw mud on our Xiaocui’s name; she still has to get married in the future.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Dong kicked the water bucket aside. ”If you mention my affairs with the Li Family girl again, do you believe I won’t tear your mouth apart? My relationship with the Li Family girl is clear and innocent, and I won’t let you slander it like this.”

Yang Dong was exuding anger so much that the onlookers sometimes dared not even breathe loudly.

”The things your Yang Xiaocui has done will be found out sooner or later, even if I don’t say anything today. As the saying goes, ’The eyes of heaven see everything,’ and there’s no wall that doesn’t let wind through. I forgive you because you’re my elder, and I don’t want to resort to violence, but don’t take advantage of your age to do such brazen things. Our engagement is definitely off, and I advise you to go home and wait. Don’t cry out here; if you provoke the Li Family, you’ll find it hard to settle.”

Yang Dong only said this to send Aunt Lan Hua home.

He didn’t want her causing a scene and disturbing Li Chuntao.

He wanted to give Li Chuntao a peaceful environment.

As for the engagement, it had to be canceled.

How to withdraw from it truly needed some careful planning, just like his third sister-in-law suggested.

Originally, he just wanted to quickly cancel the engagement, but today’s mess with Aunt Lan Hua made him change his mind.

Not only did he want to cancel the engagement, but he also wanted to take back everything given to Yang Xiaocui, and not just that, he wanted compensation.

Yang Xiaocui pretended to faint to deceive him and even cuckolded him.

In any case, he had the upper hand here, and since Aunt Lan Hua treasured her silver so much, he was going to make her bleed financially.

As for Yang Xiaocui.

Wounding people and attempting murder won’t go unpunished.

Since Yang Dong put it that way, Aunt Lan Hua also knew she should return home, but she couldn’t just go back like that; she needed an excuse, right?

It would be too humiliating to leave in disgrace.

Just as she was fretting over an excuse, the villagers spoke up.

”Aunt Lan Hua, since the engagement is off, why are you still here? The Li Family just came by; if you disturb them and they come after Xiaocui, what will you do then?”

”Exactly, your Xiaocui has injured someone.”

”...”

”...”

The villagers clearly believed Yang Dong’s side, which made Aunt Lan Hua’s efforts seem all in vain. She stood up angrily, saying, ”Hmph, I think you just see their wealth and bully my family. Our Xiaocui is innocent and wouldn’t do such shameful things with Yang Daniu, nor stab someone.”

Feigning anger at the villagers, she got up to leave, finding at least some excuse to go back.

But just as she was about to leave, a loud voice called out, ”Wait a minute.”

The sudden voice made everyone turn their heads, and they saw several burly, stout men emerge from a side room.

This immediately made everyone’s heart race. Are these the Li Family people?

Is the Li Family all this large?

While they were puzzled, those men walked up to Aunt Lan Hua, and one of them spoke, ”Are you Yang Xiaocui’s mother?”

Suddenly surrounded by such imposing figures, Aunt Lan Hua was so frightened her words stumbled, ”Wha-what’s going on?”
