General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6: Wedding Gift

He Tongsheng was furious!

Ever since he was young, he had always been the smartest and proudest person in the village. When had he ever been suppressed and humiliated like this?

Was this still the fatty from the Su family who only knew how to slash at people?

When did she become so eloquent?

The two classmates and the passersby surrounded them. Su Xiaoxiao's words were clear and logical. Even if they didn't know beforehand, they understood the cause and effect.

It turned out that this scholar had been deceived by the matchmaker. Then, on the day of the wedding, he broke off the engagement. Now, he was not returning the betrothal gift.

"Miss, how much money does he owe you?"

"Twenty taels!"

Gasps sounded all around!

Taking a wife only cost two taels of silver. Although it was a little expensive to take a lived-in son-in-law, it would not exceed six taels. On account that he was a scholar and was handsome, one would give ten taels at most.

Still…

Everyone looked at Su Xiaoxiao's fat body and roughly understood why she had offered such a high price.

This appearance in the countryside… was indeed unwanted.

"Fatty Su! Look at yourself!" He Tongsheng said angrily.

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, "What kind of person am I? Did I delay you from owing my family a betrothal gift?"

Everyone couldn't help but nod secretly. This fat girl's logic was very outstanding. She had never been led by the nose by that scholar.

She spoke logically. On the other hand, the scholar was so agitated that he actually scolded a little girl on the street.

The difference in intelligence between the two was obvious.

At this moment, even the two classmates could not help but frown at He Tongsheng.

There were more and more strange gazes around.

He Tongsheng said angrily, "S-S-Maybe you guys colluded with the matchmaker to trick me! Yes! That must be it!"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. "In that case, I'll see you in court."

With that, she turned around and walked towards the government office.

If He Tongsheng thought she was threatening him, he was right.

There was a man of unknown origin at home. How could she let the government officials turn their attention to the Su family without establishing the other party's true identity?

However, from the conversation just now, He Tongsheng did not know that she already had a husband.

Otherwise, with his attitude, he would have scolded her for being shameless.

He Tongsheng was a scholar. If this matter tainted him, he would very likely lose the chance to obtain an academic title.

"Stop!"

He Tongsheng threatened, "Your Su family is tyrannical in the village and has done many shameful things. Can you really come out after entering the government office?"

Su Xiaoxiao ignored him.

In terms of psychological warfare, a stupid scholar was not enough to fill the gaps between her teeth.

As expected, when they reached the corner, He Tongsheng gritted his teeth and forced himself to chase after them.

"Fatty Su!"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. "Have you decided to return the money?"

She was still the same person, but for some reason, this smile made He Tongsheng fall into a trance for a moment, giving him the illusion that Fatty Su was attractive.

He turned around and said in a charitable tone, "I can return you half of the silver. Let's forget about this matter."

"You dropped something." Su Xiaoxiao looked at his feet.

"What?" He looked down to find it.

"Face."

He Tongsheng was speechless

"Officer." Su Xiaoxiao walked towards the constable who was patrolling the wine shop opposite.

He Tongsheng's eyebrows twitched. "Ten, fifteen taels! Fifteen taels should be enough!"

Su Xiaoxiao didn't seem to hear him and continued walking toward the constable.

"Eighteen taels!"

Su Xiaoxiao came to the constable.

"Anything?" the constable asked.

"I'll give it to you!"
