Chapter 16: The Breaking of the Covenant...
After saying this, I glanced at the relatives of the Yang family who were all over the room, in the past, the Chen family was a big surname, and there were many capable people.
However, the times have changed, and now our Chen family is in decline, and we can't compare with them.
I can see it from the time when Mrs. Zhou moved out of this mahogany box, they have already discussed it in private, if it is replaced by Old Man Yang, they will not say it, but now.
I took a deep breath, took the old yellow paper from my mother's hand, and slowly walked to the mahogany box next to Old Lady Zhou.
Looking at my actions, Yao Hongyu, who was standing on the side, laughed more on his face, all the relatives in the back room had funny expressions, and Yang Yun was also standing in the main room, always smiling but not smiling, as if he was watching a good show.
When my mother saw me like this, her face changed and she lost her voice, "Xiuxiu! ”
Without pause, I walked over to the red box and held out my hand toward the stack of bills, and took five coins under the disdainful gaze of the room.
"On the way here, my mother told me that my grandfather saved a life of Mr. Yang, but Mr. Yang also broke a leg, and when your grandson was a few years old, he had a high fever and almost lost his life.
"When he came back, his feet were all covered with blood, and your family had no money at the beginning, so my grandfather scraped together five hundred yuan for you."
My gaze slowly swept over everyone present, and then I put my eyes on Old Lady Zhou's face, "Granny Zhou, this five hundred yuan is not owed to me by your Yang family, it is what you owe to my grandfather." ”
At that time, 500 yuan was definitely a lot more expensive than it is now, but I just wanted to tell them a little bit and settle the accounts.
"I'm afraid that you guys have already discussed it, the purpose is to clear up the relationship in front of our family, I'm a thick-skinned person, it's nothing, but others will inevitably gossip, and my mother can't stand it."
"When your Yang family was in decline, I proposed marriage to my grandfather, and I came to write the marriage contract of this family affair, and I wrote this certificate, because I was afraid that our Chen family would regret it, and I was worried that your precious grandson would not be able to find a daughter-in-law in the future." I sneered inwardly.
When I was a child, our mountain village here was very poor, and their Yang family belonged to the last meal without the next meal, my grandfather had a craft, and my grandmother also had a little ability, our family did not worry about food and clothing, it was not bad.
At the beginning, the conditions of the Yang family were normal, and it was normal for the youngest son to not be able to get a daughter-in-law.
This family affair was mentioned first by Mr. Yang, who came to the door with ten native eggs and a few pieces of announced materials, and also wrote this marriage contract.
Isn't the purpose just to fear that our family will regret it in the future?
But then my grandfather passed away, and our family was unfortunate in those years, and I heard that something happened when I was born, and our Chen family has been in a slump over the years.
But over the years, the Yang family has been running from time to time, doing a little business and making some money, and Yang Yun is the only high-achieving student in ten miles and eight townships.
There are more girls in other villages with better conditions than my family, and the Yang family's conditions are good, so they don't want to admit it.
Yao Hongyu wanted her son to find a noble lady, so she naturally wanted to dismiss this family business.
"I have never been rare to enter the threshold of your Yang family, you want to take back this marriage contract, I am afraid that you will use this broken paper to step on the threshold of our family again after the decline that day!"
"If you want to get rid of the relationship, then it's good to get rid of it!" I sneered, and tore the old piece of yellow paper in my hand in front of a room full of people.
