Chapter 111: Canceling the Engagement_l



After seeing off Doctor Li, Mrs. Zhou could not help but start weeping again.

What kind of sin had she committed, to have such a daughter-in-law? What would happen to Dacheng in the future?

She clearly thought Chu Man was quite decent during the matchmaking event. She had a pleasant smiling face and a sweet mouth, but she seemed to have changed entirely after the marriage.

Besides, her father was the village chief of the Chu Family Village and highly respected locally. His children wouldn’t be too bad, right?

Even during the engagement, nothing seemed amiss. The Chu Family seemed reasonable, only mentioning how their daughter had been spoiled since childhood and couldn’t handle hard labor.

She didn’t care too much about that statement, because she was getting a daughter-in-law, not a workhorse. It didn’t matter if she could work, as long as she could live happily with Dacheng.

Who could have expected such trouble to occur on the wedding day?

She could still bear the bride’s older brother flipping the banquet table, dismissing it as youthful exuberance and drunken antics.

But the bride had hit her son’s head that night, even kicking him out of the bridal chamber.

If the woman had hit any harder, wouldn’t her son have been killed by that pillow?

The more Zhou thought about it, the angrier and more afraid she became.

This won’t do! She must go and discuss this matter with her sister-in-law.

Mrs. Zhou closed the door to her son’s room, thought for a moment, and closed the door to the bridal chamber as well before she went to visit her sister-in-law, Jiang Sanlang, to express her frustrations.

“I really regret not waiting for my eldest son to return before arranging

Dacheng’s marriage. This hastily arranged match is truly problematic.”

Wiping her tears, Mrs. Zhou asked, “Sister-in-law, what should we do?” Chunniang could not come up with a definite plan either.

If the marriage had not been consummated, there would still be room for maneuver. But now that the bride was already brought home, unless they found a reason to send her back to her parents’ home.

But if they simply send her back, would the Chu Family agree?

“Eldest sister-in-law, have you asked what Dacheng thinks?” Chunniang asked.

Mrs. Zhou sighed, “What could he possibly think? He was nearly killed before consummating the marriage. Would he dare to approach her again in the future?”

Chunniang thought for a moment and suggested, “How about using Dacheng’s injury as a reasoning and ask the Chu Family to take back their daughter?” Mrs. Zhou was stunned, “Is that possible?”

“Why not? Their daughter nearly killed our Dacheng. Everyone who came for the wedding from the Chu Family knows it.”

That was probably why they hurriedly left early the next day without any further demands, fearing that the Jiang Family might confront them.

“What if… what if they refuse to take her back?” Mrs. Zhou was caught in a predicament.

Chunniang suggested, “Then tell the Chu Family that, if they don’t come to get her back, we will report them to the government and let them decide.”

Injuring the bridegroom to a severe condition on the wedding night, no family could tolerate such a daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Zhou gritted her teeth, “Alright! I will discuss this with my eldest son and have him send someone to deliver the message to the Chu Family Village.”

This was a major matter; it would be more effective if they found some respected elders to intimidate them.

At this point, Yingbao poked her head out from the side and whispered, “Auntie, I can prepare some sedatives for Dacheng to make sure he sleeps well these days. You can then tell them that Dacheng has been unconscious since the incident. This will give us a greater chance of winning.”

Dacheng had suffered a head injury and needed plenty of sleep for his recovery. This plan would kill two birds with one stone.

“Alright, I will tell my eldest son this.”

Mrs. Zhou got up to leave, calling Dani from the neighbouring house to come home and take care of her brother Dacheng, while she herself quickly made for the old house.

After her sister-in-law left, Chunniang turned her head and glared at her daughter, “This is an adult conversation. What are you, a child, chipping in for? What if one day Dacheng regrets it and blames you for it?”

Yingbao: “I’m not afraid of him feeling angry! And Dacheng would never regret it.”

Spring Lady poked her daughter’s forehead: “You’re still a child, what would you understand!”

Of all things in the world, relationships are the most unpredictable.

Dacheng had just gotten married, in case he couldn’t let go of Miss Chu from the Chu Family, and decided to take her home himself, it would surely put their own daughter in a difficult position.

“I’m already four years old, I know everything.” Casually, Yingbao rubbed her forehead and giggled.

The Spring Lady was left speechless.

In the afternoon, Yingbao brought a bowl of bitter medicine to Jiang Cheng. She watched him drink the medicine and fall asleep, then she cheerfully headed back home.

The new bride, Chu Man, hadn’t left her room all day, Dani was the one taking food to her for both meals.

The next afternoon, the Chu Family finally sent people over.

The ones who came were not the ones who escorted the bride, but three older gentlemen.

The three first visited the injured Jiang Cheng.

The young man lay motionless in bed, his head wrapped in thick gauze, his eyes black and blue, his face pale. It was a horrifying sight.

One of the elders gently checked his pulse, gradually his expression turned grave.

He shook his head at another elder, sighed, “The young man is badly injured, Chu Man really crossed a line.”

The white-bearded elder was furious, he stormed out of the room and bowed to Jiang and Zhou in the courtyard, “We’re truly sorry. It was my fault as I spoiled Chu Man. I’ll take her back home immediately to teach her a lesson. This divorce situation however, I hope you’ll reconsider.”

Jiang waved him off: “Mr. Chu, it’s not about reconsidering, it’s about my son’s life. We definitely cannot keep the bride.”

The stern expression on the white-bearded elder’s face dissolved slightly, but he insisted, “In that case, we’ll take Chu Man back with us. But let’s keep the marriage tie between our families intact, since the wedding ceremony between your son and Chu Man wasn’t completed, how about substituting her with another bride?”

As soon as Jiang heard this, he immediately waved his hand, “That won’t work, it’s totally inappropriate.”

Are they joking? They had barely managed to get rid of one problem, and now they might need to deal with another troublemaker? His family just can’t afford it.

The go-between, who had been standing off to the side, laughed, “Mr. Chu’s suggestion is good, Brother Jiang, you should agree. The Chu family has several eligible young ladies, all of good character and appearance.”

Zhou, who had been standing on the side, couldn’t help but give the matchmaker a cold glare.

This guy switched the eight characters in Madam Shen the matchmaker’s hands to Chu Man’s and swore to the heavens that Chu Man was a fine-looking lady, came from a good family, and her father was a reputable village chief. Only then, did they consider the marriage.

If they believed him again now, they’d really have to be possessed.

At that moment, Chu Man was called out. As soon as she saw the visitors, she ran over and started making a fuss, “Grandfather, you’ve finally come. … Whimper, whimper … The people in the Jiang family bully me, I want to go home.”

“Enough!” The white-bearded elder looked at her coldly, hands behind his back, “Go pack your things, you’re coming home with me!”

Upon hearing this, Chu Man immediately brightened up. She dashed back into the room with renewed energy to pack her belongings.

She didn’t want to stay in this place for even a day longer, ideally never having to return, ever.

Chu Man packed carefully, not only filling a suitcase with her own clothes, but she also stuffed in the clothes and jewelry given to her by the Jiang family during the wedding.

And then she looked around, found a few sets of Jiang Cheng’s new clothes, and shoved those into her suitcase to take back home for her brother.

Dani stood at the doorway and watched for a while, until she couldn’t bear it any longer. Walking into the room, she snatched her brother’s clothes out of the suitcase and told Chu Man coldly, “You may only take your own clothes. You cannot take my brother’s.”

What this woman was up to was obvious even to a blind man. She was planning on taking everything in the room back to her parents’ home.

Snorting softly, Dani thought to herself, now that they had decided to divorce, there was no way they would let her do as she pleased.

“And these pieces of jewelry, bring them out too!” Dani opened the red lacquer box and wrestled with Chu Man for the jewelry box.. “These were bought by my brother, you’re not allowed to take them!”
