When Chen Hu warned Mr. Xu, he was telling them that if the Xu family wanted to smear Chen Daniu’s name, he would not let it go.

Mr. Xu nodded and smiled apologetically. “Don’t worry, our family won’t spout nonsense.”

“My fellow villagers, you’ve all seen what happened today with your own eyes. We all have sons and daughters. Whether it’s children or grandchildren, there will be a day when we discuss marriage. The reputation of our children is crucial. Today, my eldest daughter suffered this grievance because we didn’t see his character clearly. I hope everyone can take into account that we’re from the same hometown. If you hear anyone defaming my eldest daughter, speak up for her. Chen Hu will be eternally grateful.”

Chen Hu turned around and said to the villagers who had come to watch the show.

In the past few years, the villagers had been living much better with the business of their two families.

Everyone had dealings with Chen Hu and Su Sanlang, so they naturally nodded in agreement.

Old Master Wang also said, “Daniu did nothing wrong. She’s a good girl. If anyone maligns her, there will be bad karma. You can’t do such a thing. There will be retribution in the future.”

The village chief was on Chen Hu’s side, and the villagers were no exception.

“Come, let’s go home.”

Chen Hu said to Chen Daniu.

Chen Daniu nodded.

Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao also heaved a sigh of relief. This was the best solution. The Xu family wouldn’t dare to spout nonsense anymore.

Chen Daniu’s strength was beyond Su Xiaolu’s imagination. Even Su Xiaoling was surprised. Chen Daniu’s words against Su Yufang were really satisfying.

Things settled, and the two families went back together.

As for the relationship between the Xu family and the Su family, this matter was not over yet.

Even for Su Yufang, her original engagement had to be settled.

No matter what Su Yufang’s motive was, she couldn’t escape unscathed.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Old Master Wang didn’t stay any longer and left together.

The villagers who were watching the commotion also left.

But when it came to the matter between Chen Daniu and Xu Bowen, everyone said that Xu Bowen had no bottom line. When it came to Su Yufang, they shook their heads.

After everyone left, Madam Yang could no longer hold it in and said, “Brother Xu, I can’t say anything about your family. Goodbye.”

Madam Yang left quickly without waiting for Madam Wu to speak.

She wasn’t stupid. There was really nothing to be gained from this. Her reputation would be ruined.

She did not dare to speak up for the Xu family. If Chen Hu pursued the matter, she would not be able to bear the consequences.

Madam Yang sighed. She had really misjudged him. Xu Bowen was a good scholar, but he did not have any self-control at all. The Chen family looked easy to talk to, but they also had a ruthless side. It would not be easy to deal with them if they were provoked.

Forget it, forget it. She didn’t want to get involved in the affairs of these two families. She would return the gift money later and pretend she hadn’t been matchmaking for these two families in case there was any trouble in the future.

Mr. Xu’s face turned cold as he said to Su Erlang and Madam Zhou, “My family will accept this matter. The betrothal gift is ten taels. Call off the engagement with the other family and let Su Yufang marry into our family. If you’re still not satisfied, then my son can’t match up to your daughter. We can only forget about it.”

“Think about it carefully.”

Mr. Xu said coldly and tugged at Madam Wu. “Let’s go home.”

Madam Wu quickly pulled Xu Bowen and said, “My son, let’s go home first.”

Xu Bowen still wanted to speak, but Mr. Xu had already lost his patience and said coldly, “After you become independent, I don’t care what you want to do. But for now, you’d better shut up. Haven’t you lost enough face today?”

Xu Bowen was speechless. He couldn’t help but look at Su Yufang.

Su Yufang looked at him with tears in her eyes and nodded gently at him.

Xu Bowen said nothing more.

Madam Zhou still wanted to say something, but Su Yufang tugged at Madam Zhou’s hand, silently telling her not to say anything.

Madam Li did not expect this matter to end like this. Ten taels of silver were quite a lot. The Luo family had only given them three taels.

Madam Li said with a smile, “Sister-in-law, let me congratulate you first. Our Yufang is going to live well in the future.”

“Yufang, when you live well in the future, don’t forget your family. Your brothers are all relying on you. The more unyielding they are, the more confident you will be in your in-laws.”

Madam Li smiled at Su Yufang and said.

Su Yufang nodded obediently and said, “Eldest Aunt, don’t worry. I won’t forget my roots.”

Su Yufang knew that Madam Li was black-hearted. She did not want to provoke Madam Li now, so she just said a few nice words to coax her.

The most important thing now was to quickly settle down with the Xu family. She would go over as soon as possible, so she would not provoke Madam Li.

Madam Li smiled and turned to enter the house.

Madam Wang shouted from inside the house, “Second Brother’s family, come in.”

Although Madam Wang did not go out, she knew what was happening outside.

After calling the entire family in, Madam Wang said, “Second Daughter-in-law, you didn’t teach the girl well. I can’t be bothered to blame you for this. However, this matter was caused by you guys, so you can settle it yourselves. You must also settle with the Luo family. I won’t take out the gift money for the Luo family. You can do as you see fit.”

“Also, settle down with the Xu family as soon as possible to avoid gossip.”

Madam Wang could not be bothered to take a detour with Madam Zhou, so she went straight to the point.

Since she wanted to cause trouble, she would clean up her own mess!

The Luo family had sent three taels of silver. If the Xu family wanted to give ten taels of silver, there would be thirteen taels of silver. She would not give them this money.

Madam Zhou was shocked. “Mother, where can I get the money to pay the Luo family back?”

Madam Zhou was complaining incessantly and hated Madam Wang to the core. Madam Wang had always been in charge of the money and kept a close eye on every copper coin. All these years, she had only secretly saved a hundred copper coins.

With Madam Wang being so difficult, Madam Zhou could only hate herself for not dying earlier.

Madam Wang snorted coldly. “Hmph, I don’t care if you have it or not. That’s your business. Who asked you to be so restless? It’s already good enough that I don’t blame you for not teaching my granddaughter well. Hurry up and get lost. You’re still an eyesore in front of me. I think you want to be beaten up.”

Madam Zhou lowered her eyes, hiding the hatred in them.

She pulled Su Yufang away.

Madam Li was happy in her heart, but on the surface, she said with concern, “Sister-in-law, I think that Xu Bowen cares about Yufang. Let Yufang ask him for it.”

Madam Zhou gave Madam Li a fierce look. Her gaze frightened Madam Li.

Madam Li did not dare to agitate Madam Zhou anymore.

Madam Zhou pulled Su Yufang back to her room. As soon as she closed the door, Madam Zhou slapped her.

Su Yufang’s face turned to the side. She covered her cheek and said, “Mother, hit me. This is all my fault. I’m indignant. Why can someone like Chen Daniu marry a scholar while I can only marry a bumpkin? I’m indignant and I don’t regret it.”

Madam Zhou hugged Su Yufang in her arms and said in a choked voice, “I slapped you because I hate this. Don’t blame me. I want you to marry well more than anyone else. Your grandmother has been on top of me my entire life. I don’t know when I’ll be able to make a name for myself. Your eldest aunt has embarrassed me many times in my life. Yufang, you must work hard. Only when you work hard can I live well in this family.”
