The best old woman is too fierce, stepping on her ex-husband and beating up her traitorous son!

Chapter 25 If I have the ability to cancel the engagement, I have the ability to deal with it!

Liu Changfu felt unhappy when he saw his sister crying sadly, "Mom, let's break off the engagement, we can't let Chang Huan die."

Liu Changlu, who was standing next to him, grabbed Liu Changfu and said harshly, "Brother, have you forgotten that Landlord Zhao's daughter is the concubine of the king's secretary next to the county magistrate?"

"If we break off the engagement here, they will use any means to deal with us over there. At that time, it will not be just Chang Huan, but our whole family, even my grandpa's family will be implicated."

Everyone's eyes were turned to Liu Changlu, whose appearance and temperament had many similarities with Liu Yunde.

Being selfish and cold-hearted is not a good thing anyway.

Liu Changlu was stared at by everyone, and his heart skipped a beat. He was so scared that he spoke out what was in his heart.

"I...I am also doing it for everyone's good, not for myself. If we can't defeat the Zhao family and the king's chief secretary, we have to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and make choices."

"Hmph! You saved yourself and gave up your own sister?" Old Man Li snorted, his eyes showing sarcasm, "As expected of Liu Yunde, he is born with evil, cold and selfish nature."

Liu Changlu was unconvinced and forced himself to retort, "The people do not fight with the officials. We ordinary people cannot afford to offend an official, and he is also the chief administrator!"

"Grandpa has always called himself a hero and is not afraid of death, but we, the younger generation, are afraid of death and don't want to die!"

Li Xiaoyue raised her hand and slapped Liu Changlu on the face, "Shut up, who allows you to say this about your grandpa? Your grandpa usually eats the meat he brings to the dog's belly?"

When Zhou Xiaohua saw the man being beaten, she immediately felt distressed and hurriedly stood in front of her husband Liu Changlu to stop her mother-in-law from continuing the beating.

"Mom, what Chang Lu said is wrong. Now you think Chang Lu is cruel and selfish, but when the king's secretary puts us in jail, you will know that Chang Lu is right."

"Yes, yes!" Liu Changlu nodded repeatedly, "It's not that I don't feel sorry for Chang Huan, but the price of breaking off the engagement is too high and we can't afford it."

Li Xiaoyue pushed Zhou Xiaohua away and looked directly at Liu Changlu, "Liu Changlu, Changhuan is your sister, not a cat or a dog, let alone someone you can throw away casually. Back then, that bastard Liu Yunde got drunk and arranged the marriage. He made a huge mistake by accepting a high amount of betrothal gift."

"Now I'm kicking him out. I, Li Xiaoyue, have the final say on this mess that's left behind. I have the 30 taels of silver given by Mr. Gongsun, and I'll borrow some more. Today, when Matchmaker Wang comes over, I'll break off the engagement. If you want to kill me, or chop him into pieces, come at me." Come on, I’ll take it all.”

When Old Man Li heard his daughter's words, his eyes showed relief. Without Liu Yunde's influence and coaxing, his daughter's mind was clear.

"Boss, go home and get 20 taels of silver. We will break off the engagement today." Old Man Li told his eldest son to go home and get the money.

"Yes, father." Boss Li went back. Fortunately, the family still had some savings over the years.

When my sister came to the house to borrow money for Liu Yunde to attend the government, Liu Yunde had failed the exam twenty times before, so Old Man Li was very angry and refused to borrow the money.

The wicked Liu Yunde took the opportunity of being drunk and betrothed his own daughter to the cruel and stupid son of landlord Zhao.

Sometimes, the old father also regrets that if he had lent money to Liu Yunde, even though it would have been like a meat bun beating a dog, at least there would not have been this fucking marriage.

Liu Changlu lowered his head, with a bit of resentment in his eyes. He was doing it for the good of this family!

If just returning the bride price can solve the problem, why argue now?
Liu Changhuan's crying gradually became quieter, his eyes showed despair, and he forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Mom, don't be embarrassed, I...I'll marry! When I die, you take me back and bury me under the apricot tree in the back mountain. In spring, I can see beautiful apricot flowers; in autumn, I can taste the apricots that fell to the ground so ripe!”

Li Xiaoyue touched Liu Changhuan's head, feeling sour in her heart, "Don't say stupid things, my mother, grandpa and uncles are responsible for everything!"

Liu Changhuan was conflicted. He neither wanted to marry the cruel fool Zhao nor wanted to embarrass his family.

At this moment, Matchmaker Wang knocked on the door and shouted in a loud voice, "Oh, what a joy! I've brought you good news!"

When everyone heard this, they all looked towards the door.After Matchmaker Wang came in, she felt her heart skip a beat when she saw everyone's serious and forbearing expressions.

I thought it would be easy to complete this time, but now it seems impossible.

Li Xiaoyue looked at Matchmaker Wang and greeted politely, "Aunt Wang, please come inside. I just want to ask you something."

Seeing so many strong men, Matchmaker Wang looked fierce and did not dare to make any mistakes. "Okay, Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao also asked me to pass along a message."

When they got to the house, Li Xiaoyue went to the house and took 30 taels of silver, and Brother Li took 20 taels of silver from home.

Li Xiaoyue placed five taels of silver ingots on the table, and placed one tael of silver ingots on the table in front of Matchmaker Wang.

"Aunt Wang, my parents Huan is still young, and I want to cancel the engagement for my child. This marriage was originally decided by that bastard Liu Yunde when he was drunk, and I didn't agree with it at the time."

"Now that Liu Yunde and I have reconciled and divorced, these children have followed me, so I have to take good care of them. I also asked Aunt Wang to come and help us spread the word. With this little money, I can treat Aunt Wang to tea."

Matchmaker Wang was surprised that Li Xiaoyue was so direct.However, he is also very brave!

She has been a matchmaker in Lanshan County for so many years. Not only does she know every household, but she also knows a lot.

Li Xiaoyue was the first to make peace with a man. From this tone, it seemed that Li Xiaoyue was the one who wanted to make peace with Liu Yunde.

"Sister Li, I'm just passing on a message for you. But you should know the essence of this marriage!"

"As soon as this word reaches the Zhao family, it is equivalent to enmity between you and the Zhao family. The daughter of Grandpa Zhao who is the most cherished by Master Wang will definitely stand up for him."

"We ordinary people simply cannot afford to offend people like that. I advise you to be cautious and not to be reckless, so as not to harm your family."

Matchmaker Wang was so confident that she felt that Li Xiaoyue and the rest of the family did not dare to really confront Landlord Zhao.

Li Xiaoyue had already made a plan in her mind, and she was going to make something to give to Mr. Gongsun.

Mr. Gongsun is General Huo's military advisor. Not to mention the king's secretary, he also has some dignity in front of the magistrate and prefect of Lanshan County.

Old Man Li felt sorry for his daughter. He hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and slapped the table, "Matchmaker Wang, let's cancel the engagement. Go back and tell the truth!"

The smile on Matchmaker Wang's face disappeared completely, and it became a bit colder and sinister, "You are toasting instead of eating and being punished with wine. I advise you with good intentions, but you are stubborn. Don't let people die by then. It will be too late to regret it. .”

At first, she was looking for a decent family for Landlord Zhao, but the county was not big. Who didn't know that Landlord Zhao's stupid son was cruel?

Three wives were beaten to death, and as for the maids, I don’t know how many were killed.

No one from a decent family would want to marry their daughter to Landlord Zhao's family?

She finally found Liu Yunde, and set up a trap with Landlord Zhao to make Liu Yunde drunk, which led to the marriage.

Landlord Zhao said that after they get married, he will give her another ten taels of silver.

The money I got is actually going to fly away?

How does this work?
Li Xiaoyue's expression was serious and her eyes were extremely firm, "Retreat, I, Li Xiaoyue, have the ability to cancel the engagement, and I have the ability to deal with the Zhao family's methods, so I won't bother Aunt Wang."
