While Grandma Huang was thinking about what to do, Mother Huang already walked to Aunt Lin and said, "Sister-in-law, you are finally here. We have been waiting for you."
Aunt Lin smiled at her, gave Huang Tingyun and Xiao Mei a meaningful look, and said, "Sister-in-law, I didn’t know you had guests today. If I had known you were busy, I wouldn’t have come to bother you today."
Hearing her meaningful words, Mother Huang paused for a moment and smiled stiffly, "What kind of guest is she? She is just an insignificant person. Please come in."
As soon as she finished speaking, Huang Tingyun said firmly, "Mother, I have already told you that I will only marry Xiao Mei. Even if you beat me to death today, I will not marry Liu Hua."
Although everyone thought he was humiliating Liu Hua, only he and Liu Hua knew the real reason why he did what he did today. In fact, it was Liu Hua who asked him to be the one to break off the engagement.
Huang Tingyun didn’t understand why she asked that at first. After all, if he breaks off the engagement, Liu Hua’s reputation will hit rock bottom, and it will be even harder for her to get married in the future.
He hesitated for a long time and thought about how to resolve their engagement without harming Liu Hua’s reputation, until that day when he met Xiao Li. When he realized Xiao Li’s situation, he finally knew why she wanted him to break off the engagement.
With Xiao Li’s qualifications, the Liu family would not agree to let her marry him. Therefore, she is willing to destroy her reputation to force her family to agree to Xiao Li’s proposal. Another reason is that she doesn’t want Xiao Li or her family to compensate the Huang family.
Since he didn’t lack the money, he agreed to her request. On the one hand, Liu Hua owes him a favor, and on the other hand, he can also use this incident to convince his girlfriend that he is serious about marrying her and is willing to go against his family for her. As they expected, his girlfriend agreed to marry him as long as he broke off the engagement.
Mother Huang was irritated and felt embarrassed by his words. She wanted to explain, but before she could speak, Aunt Lin interrupted her, "Sister-in-law, your son already has someone in mind. I think it’s better to break off the engagement. Otherwise, people might say Liu Hua is a vicious woman who destroys a pair of lover’s relations."
After hearing what she said, Grandma Huang said, "Impossible! My family will not agree to break off the engagement. If you want to break off the engagement, you must compensate my family!"
After hearing her words, everyone shook their heads. No one in their village could match Grandma Huang’s shamelessness.
Aunt Su didn’t know that the Liu family planned to break off the engagement, and was angered by Grandma Huang’s words.
She crossed her arms and said, "Aiyoyoyo~ Aunt Huang, how can you be so shameless? The people who violated the marriage agreement are your family members. Your son already has someone in his mind yet your family still proposed marriage to the Liu family."
