Chapter 1338 Famine and Natural Disaster 497

"Village Chief Cheng, Clan Chief Cheng, what do you think?"

The two heads of the Cheng family remained silent for a long time, and Village Chief Diao gritted his teeth and spoke again.

The old village chief looked at Cheng Mingxiu and his family, "Do you think this is okay? Do you want to protect the future of the Fang family, or do you want to keep things quiet?"

Cheng Mingxiu's father looked at his daughter with pity, thinking that she would get married in the future; if the matter got out of hand, his daughter would not be able to blame the other family, but they were unwilling to let them swallow this bitter fruit.

"Old village chief, you have watched our Xiu'er grow up. She is a diligent and honest child. As a father, I am incapable. Fortunately, the uncles and aunts came forward to talk to them. I think that if this matter is made too big, it will not be good for Xiu'er and the women in the tribe. It is better to ask them to pay more. My family does not want much, only twenty taels, and the rest of the compensation will be given to the tribe for use. We don't care how they use it."

Cheng Mingxiu's father is a man with great plans.

Mingyi nodded secretly. While making plans for her daughter, she also tried to please the clan. If Cheng Mingxiu was like his father, he would have a good future.

The old village chief and the clan leader did not respond immediately.

"Sister Mingxiu, what do you think?" Mingyi asked.

Cheng Mingxiu's eyes were red. He stared at Mingyi for a long time before he said, "Sister Mingyi, I am willing to cancel the engagement. I would rather remain single for my whole life than go to that filthy place called Fang's family. However, I want fifty taels of compensation. My family will keep twenty taels, and the clan will decide how to use the thirty taels."

Mingyi's smile deepened. Cheng Mingxiu looked a lot like her father, which was a good thing!

"In that case, Grandpa Village Chief, let's do it this way. Whether Sister Mingxiu gets married or marries a son-in-law in the future, I will give her a dowry."

She openly stood up to support Cheng Mingxiu, and all she had to say was that she was very satisfied with Cheng Mingxiu; her promise not only represented herself, but also represented Zhou Ting behind her.

As long as Agnes Chow is around, she will be her backer.

In the eyes of outsiders, Cheng Mingyi is full of confidence when Zhou Ting is around.

"Okay." The old village chief nodded readily, and turned to look at the uneasy village chief Diao, "Village chief Diao, we won't make things difficult for them. As long as they apologize quietly, return the marriage invitation, and compensate fifty taels of silver, the matter will be over. If they refuse, then we will not back down. At the cost of Xiujie's reputation, he, Fang Laizhu and his family will not be able to get away with it."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. I'll listen to you."

Village Chief Diao breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the three members of the Fang family. "Fang family, go back and bring the wedding invitation and silver, and apologize in front of everyone."

"I, I'll go." Fang's mother was so frightened that she crawled towards the fish restaurant.

A quarter of an hour later, Fang's mother stumbled back and handed Village Chief Diao a marriage invitation and a purse.

"Everything, everything is here, Village Chief Diao, you have to help us!" Before she met the Prince of Zhou, she could still hope for a lucky break; after meeting the Prince of Zhou, that lucky mentality was shattered.

At this moment, she just hoped to get this matter over with quickly. If she wanted to cancel the engagement, then she would cancel it. But his son was a virgin student. Wouldn't he be able to find a wife if she canceled the engagement?

I thought so, but I couldn't stop feeling sad when I gave away my money.

Fifty taels!

All the family assets are gone.

How can I live?

He patted his thigh and swallowed the pain that followed the fear.

"Go over and apologize, and get back to work early." Village chief Diao took the money bag and did not forget to remind them.

Fang's mother walked slowly, looking as if she was enduring it silently.

Fang Laizhu tried to get away with it, but Village Chief Diao would not give him the chance. "Fang Tongsheng, come over here. Why are you standing there?" "Village Chief." Fang Laizhu looked at him hesitantly.

Village Chief Diao felt exhausted. "Hurry up, you have to apologize even if you are dragging your feet. It's your fault for your inappropriate words and deeds."

Fang Laizhu was unwilling, but the situation was stronger than him; he gritted his teeth, walked to Fang's mother, and helped her walk to Cheng Mingxiu's family.

"sorry!"

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have yelled at you." Fang's mother gnashed her teeth in hatred and apologized honestly.

Village Chief Diao presented the wedding invitation and the money bag to Cheng Mingxiu's father and said, "This is their apology. Don't be sad about this, girl. A blessed girl won't marry into an unblessed family. Fang Laizhu did something wrong, don't take it personally. Your blessing is yet to come."

Looking at the embarrassing state of the mother and son in front of him, and being comforted by the soft words of Village Chief Diao, Cheng Mingxiu's frustration suddenly disappeared, and he turned around and laughed.

Cheng Mingxiu's father patted her on the shoulder, took the money bag and the wedding invitation, thanked Village Chief Diao, and said, "Since you apologized, we won't pursue it. From now on, Fang Laizhu and my Xiu'er will have nothing to do with each other's marriage."

"Okay!" Fang's mother clenched her teeth. A bloody taste filled her mouth and she swallowed it hard.

When the mother and son returned to Village Chief Diao, Fang's mother's body went limp and she fainted without any warning.

"Mom, mom, what's wrong with you?"

Fang Laizhu screamed in shock, and Fang's father was startled and rushed forward to pinch his Ren Zhong point.

Fang's mother recovered and opened her eyes with her breath dying; Fang Laizhu and his son exhaled, sat down on the ground, and Fang's mother followed and fell on Fang Laizhu's legs.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, the Fang family, who had lost both the wife and the army, finally got rid of their anger.

However, the Cheng family was somewhat unwilling to accept that they had failed to eliminate Fang Laizhu's fame, and they turned back with this regret.

Village chief Diao watched the people go away, raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and then looked at the Fang family with disdain; and the Fang family's damn cousin, all kinds of loose women were invited to live in the house, now the Fang family's wealth was ruined.

A girl, knowing that her cousin is already engaged, still flirts with him without restraint.

"Okay, the problem is solved. Don't come to me if you have nothing to do. And try not to come to me if you have something to do. I want to live another two years."

The village chief shook his head and left, and everyone in the fish restaurant went back to work. They just wanted to say that the other family deserved what happened to them.

Instead of being a good person, he has to compare himself with beasts.

If you do something wrong and are not in the right, why don't you just admit your mistake and accept the punishment? Why do you have to make a fuss? You really treat the Cheng family as a family without roots and bully them. Whether you are an outsider or not depends on whether they have anyone to support them.

The Cheng family has been backed by the Zhou Palace since a long time ago, and they know that, so why are they making such a fuss?

Now, they don’t know whether their fish restaurant has left a good impression in the eyes of Prince Zhou. Anyway, the Fang family is definitely not a good family in the eyes of Prince Zhou.

Chengjiazhuang.

They returned to the village in a mighty procession. Those who were supposed to work went to work, and those who were supposed to go to the workshop went to the workshop. Cheng Mingxiu personally handed over thirty taels of silver to the old village chief, "Thank you, village chief grandfather, and all the elders for standing up for Mingxiu."

The old village chief smiled with relief, "Our Cheng family is not a very wealthy family, and our family business is just this much, but fortunately the population is still prosperous; we as elders can't help with other things, but when the children in the family are bullied and wronged, we should stand up."
