Chapter 119: The Zhang Family Agreed to Break Off the Engagement

The He family did not mention anything about the Zhang family until everyone had dispersed.

The next morning, Zhang Hui brought his mother, Mdm Luo, over again.

Lu Sheng had promised He Lai yesterday that she would send him to town this morning to see if the town gate was open.

She had just helped the two children wash up and was preparing to send them back to the village before sending He Lai to town.

Who knew that just when she was leading the horse out, the two of them blocked the door before she could get into the carriage?

“Where’s He Qin? Come out quickly!”

He Qin had long woken up and was weeding the grass in the backyard. He was preparing to empty the space for bricks.

Upon hearing Zhang Hui’s voice, he walked out with a cold face.

He had applied the medicine Lu Sheng gave him. The bruises at the corner of his lips were already faint, and the small wounds on his face had already formed scabs.

On the contrary, Zhang Hui’s face was no different from yesterday.

“I said I’m not getting married. Didn’t you hear me?”

Even if he could fork out twenty taels now, he would not marry Zhang Xiaohua.

“You’re overthinking.” Mdm Luo snorted coldly. “We came here today to tell you that our Xiaohua is not marrying you. However, you have to give us the ten taels as compensation for Xiaohua’s reputation.”

“Reputation fee?”

He Qin smiled coldly. He restrained himself in the past only because they were all villagers.

However, it seemed like he did not have to care about this anymore.

After all, the Zhang family was shameless themselves. What was the point of giving them face?

“I don’t have money and I won’t marry her. If you have the ability, let’s just waste our time.”

Lu Sheng listened from the side and nodded silently.

If her uncle was so tough like this previously, would the Zhang family still dare to bully him?

“You…”

Mdm Luo was furious. Her fingers trembled as she pointed at him, but she could not say anything.

He Qin said expressionlessly, “My family is poor anyway. It’s alright if I don’t marry for the rest of my life.”

Zhang Hui could tell that He Qin would rather die than give them money.

Now, his distant relative had arranged a marriage for their Xiao Hua, saying that they were willing to give thirty taels as the betrothal gift.

As long as their family was willing, they could get married in a few days.

For some reason, that family seemed anxious.

However, no matter how big the world was, it was not as big as silver taels.

They came to create a scene today for two reasons. Firstly, to see if they could trick some money from He Qin, and secondly, to break off the engagement.

It seemed like they could not get the money.

“It’s alright if you don’t want to marry her.” Zhang Hui’s face darkened. “Give me the marriage contract.”

He Qin glanced at him in surprise before entering the house to get the marriage contract.

“Give me back my copy too.”

He Qin did not pass the marriage contract over immediately. Instead, he asked Zhang Hui for his own copy.

Mdm Luo threw the marriage contract at him and said coldly, “Take it.”

He Qin bent down to pick it up and threw the marriage contract over too.

Both parties tore the marriage contract apart almost at the same time.

Zhang Hui said, “From today onwards, you are free to marry whoever you want. It has nothing to do with us.”

He Qin remained expressionless and did not speak.

A few elders had gathered at the side and were whispering.

After Zhang Hui and Mdm Luo left the He family, an elderly man walked forward with a walking stick.

He said in a hoarse voice, “I heard that the Zhang family has found another marriage partner. He’s from Zheng Village. It’s said that he gave them thirty taels as the betrothal gift.”

He Qin was initially doubtful. Why would the Zhang family suddenly break off the engagement? It turned out that they had already found another marriage partner.

Regardless, he could finally get rid of this family.
