115 Chapter 115: Not Marrying The Qian Family’s Daughter

“Then you… return the silver that my family gave you! You’ll also have to compensate me for the banquet my family has prepared to hold in the village! Only then will I return Wang XiaoMei’s indenture to you. Otherwise…”

“Otherwise, if my Zhang family can’t keep her, other places can!”

“Wang Dashan, you brat! Don’t be unreasonable with me! If you force me, I’ll just sell this indenture at a low price to a brothel in town. Let’s see if you dare to risk your life against the brothel madam!”

Wang Dashan was so angry that his eyes turned red.

He would return the money! Of course, he wanted to return the money!

However, if they could afford to return the money, he would have long forced his mother to give him the money.

He had only found out after he returned that his mother had already given away the ten taels of silver, saying that she had arranged for him to meet a cousin from her maiden family.

At that time, he had forced his mother to get the money back, but his mother only made a big scene with him, and he could not do anything with her.

As a result, the matter was delayed until the Zhang family came to their doorstep.

“Yes, Dashan. Why don’t you return the money to the Zhang family? Then you can take it that this never happened,” one of the villagers said.

They were from Brook Falls Village, so they would naturally speak up for their own villagers.

However, the Wang family was indeed in the wrong in this matter.

Now that the Zhang family had relented, and the Wang family was unwilling to hand over the girl to them, then wouldn’t it be fine to just return the silver to them?

“That’s right! Aunt Wang, quickly return the money to them! Look at what you’ve done to your little girl!” a woman said.

Only then did people notice that Wang Xiaomei was squatting behind her big brother, shivering all over.

“What a sin! For a bit of silver, you sold your daughter to an idiot to be his wife!” someone else said.

They all sympathized with Wang Xiaomei and began condemning Wang Laoshuan and Aunt Wang.

Wang Laoshuan was so embarrassed that he could not lift his head.

However, Aunt Wang’s temper flared up.

“What do you nosy outsiders know? It’s none of your business what my family does!” she shouted at the villagers.

Then, Aunt Wang looked at Zhang Mazi.

“Our family can’t return the money, so just take the girl with you! Deal with her however you want!” she said loudly.

As soon as she said that, the villagers were shocked and began castigating Aunt Wang.

Wang Dashan was so angry that his eyes almost popped out.

Seeing the smug look on the Zhang family’s faces, Wang Dashan swept his gaze around and quickly rushed to a nearby spot, picking up a sickle.

Then, he rushed back to his sister, shielding her behind him.

“I’ll see who dares!”

“I’ll chop whoever dares to come over to death!” he said ruthlessly.

The moment these words came out, the Zhang family members who were about to step forward stood stunned, motionless.

At the same time, the atmosphere became tense.

The villagers tried to persuade Wang Dashan not to be rash.

Aunt Wang finally panicked and cried as she begged her son to put down the sickle in his hand.

“Go and get the Zhang family’s money back and return it to them! If you don’t go, I’ll fight it out with them today. When I kill someone, I will pay with my own life! Let’s see who will take care of you in your old age!”

Wang Dashan was not moved at all when he saw Aunt Wang crying piteously. Instead, he roared at his mother angrily and even threatened her.

“I… I’ve already come to an agreement with them. How… Boo hoo hoo! How am I supposed to ask from them?” Aunt Wang was still resisting.

“You take the silver back in the same way that you gave it away!” Wang Dashan raised his voice, his face full of rage.

“I might as well tell the truth. Even if you can’t get the silver back, I won’t marry your Qian family’s daughter! I, Wang Dashan, would rather remain a bachelor than marry your Qian family’s women!” Wang Dashan said through gritted teeth.

As he was too angry, he even spat out a shower of saliva as he spoke.

Everyone present sympathized with him.

At this moment, everyone realized that Aunt Wang had sold her daughter to get her son engaged. Moreover, it was to a daughter from her maiden family.

Seeing Wang Dashan’s attitude, everyone began making speculations in their hearts.

How bad was the character of the daughter from the Qian family for Wang Dashan to despise her so much?

Hmph! It must be so bad that it was beyond salvation. Wasn’t this Aunt Wang standing before them from the Qian family too?

At the thought of this, everyone began forming some ideas in their minds.

From the looks of things, when they undertake match-making for their own children in the future, they must make sure not to have anything to do with the Qian family.

This was simply a calamity! If she married into the family and became the next Aunt Wang, would there still be any peaceful days in the family?

They had seen people who tricked others, but they had never seen someone who even tricked her own son.

Was there a hole in this Aunt Wang’s brain?

“What do you mean you don’t want our Qian family’s woman? What’s wrong with Juhua? She is good-looking and hardworking! And she’s your cousin!” In the face of her son’s anger and the villagers’ criticism, not only did Aunt Wang not repent, but she also quarreled with Wang Dashan.

“Anyway, I’ve already fixed your engagement to Juhua. Even if you are not willing, you still have to marry Juhua!”

Wang Dashan’s face became all contorted when he heard that. The veins on his hand that was gripping the handle of the sickle were almost popping out.

Fortunately, the village chief arrived at this moment.

All the villagers moved aside to let the village chief in.

After that, someone explained the whole situation to the village chief in a few sentences.

...

After the village chief understood the situation, he looked at Wang Dashan and asked him to put down the sickle.

Only then did Wang Dashan lower the sickle, but he still didn’t toss it aside. Instead, he held it in his hand.

Seeing this, the village chief simply frowned, but did not continue to press him.

Everyone felt slightly more at ease and waited for the village chief to resolve the matter.

Zhang Mazi quickly came forward.

“Village Chief Li, it’s not like our Zhang family is here to take the girl away forcibly.”

“As long as they pay back my betrothal gift of ten taels of silver as well as the money for my family’s wedding banquet today, I’ll return the indenture to them immediately. I won’t make things difficult for them!”

Right now, he didn’t want to take Wang Xiaomei away at all.

With such a brother and such outrageous parents, even if he took her away and let his son marry her, there would be endless trouble in the future.

As for what he had said about re-selling Wang Xiaomei to a brothel, that was pure nonsense.

He also had a daughter, and he wasn’t so heartless as to do such immoral things.

...

However, if he couldn’t get the money back, he would have no choice if he were forced into a corner.

After all, ten taels of silver was not a small sum. The Zhang family’s money did not drop down from the sky.

“The betrothal gifts can be returned to you, but not the money for the banquet,” the village chief said outright.

Zhang Mazi’s expression changed immediately.

“Why not? If Wang Laoshuan and his wife had not agreed to sell their daughter to me and signed an indenture for me, would I have gone ahead to hold this wedding?”

“Now, they won’t let me take the girl, and they still refuse to compensate me. What kind of logic is this?”

“Village Chief Li, are you bullying us because you think there is no one from Brook Rise Village here?”

The village chief frowned.

Just as he was about to speak, Aunt Wang suddenly rushed over.

“Pay my ass! Our family won’t pay a single coin!”

“When we signed the indenture, I asked you to take her away at once, but you refused. Anyway, I’m giving her to your family. There’s no way I’ll give you money!”

The village chief subconsciously dodged to avoid Aunt Wang’s saliva.

He finally frowned in disgust.

Then, he looked at Wang Laoshuan and said, “Wang Laoshuan!”

Wang Laoshuan, who was cowering not far away with his head lowered, seemed to wake up in an instant and looked up at the village chief.
