The betrothal gift should be withdrawn and the money should be returned.

But when Yun Laosan's family was separated, they received nothing, except for a few acres of Susukino fields with poor harvests, and these few shabby houses.

It took me several years to save eight taels of silver, and I bought an ox at the beginning of the year for seven taels.

Originally, I thought that my life would get better and better, and I would be able to grow a lot of food every year after paying taxes.

But who would have thought that this year we would encounter a severe drought that only occurs once in a century. Although the harvest was not completely harvested, the remaining grains were barely enough to pay taxes and there was still a lot left.

If we didn't have food left over from previous years, we wouldn't be able to survive these days.

The family is really poor now. Where can they get the money?

Mr. He also became angry and said, "Dad, my mother-in-law collected the money back then. Now you have to ask your mother-in-law to get the money back and return it to them."

"My dear, don't listen to his nonsense, he doesn't mean it."

When the scholar's wife heard this, she slapped her son on the back and almost took off her shoes to slap the scholar's big ears.

She knew in her heart that her son was anxious, and that he did not mean to ask Yun Laosan's family to return the betrothal gift when he mentioned the betrothal gift, but she understood that others might not understand.

Once the words are spoken, they can't be taken back. If the matter between him and Mei Niang doesn't work out, there will be no room for turning back.

She turned around and faced Mr. He with an apologetic smile. Seeing Mr. He's face sinking, she hurriedly explained: "In-laws, Shuisheng didn't mean that. He was just anxious. There is no betrothal gift but no betrothal gift. If a family doesn't speak the same language, you

Don’t take it personally.”

He sneered: "Mother Xiucai, you'd better not call me your in-laws. I listened and responded. Since the scholar mentioned the betrothal gift, and since it was my family who proposed to cancel the engagement, the betrothal gift should be returned. You guys wait a moment. I'll do it right now."

Let the head of the family go to my mother-in-law to ask for it."

After saying that, she sent Yun Laosan out, and she simply followed Yun Meiniang into the house, closed the door and waited for Yun Laosan to come back with the money.

She knew that it would be difficult to get money from the old lady. Anyway, it was Xi Niang and the scholar who brought up the matter. Since the scholar mentioned the money, the second uncle's family should also contribute.

In other words, my family has no money. If Xi Niang wants to successfully marry a scholar, the second uncle's family will spend a lot of money to pay back Mei Niang's dowry.

Mrs. He thought that if this happened, Xi Niang would not be able to marry anyone else in her life unless she married a scholar. The second uncle's family must be very anxious, and they should be willing to give up the money.

Besides, the scholar and Meiniang broke off their engagement and turned around to engage Xi Niang. The money would still go back to the second uncle's house. If the second uncle's family wakes up and thinks about their daughter, the money will definitely come out.

As a result, Yun Laosan came back dejected not long after he left.

Behind him were his wife Chen, who had a stern look on her face, and Yun Xiniang, who had a sharp look on her face.

Further back, the one who is thin and skinny, as if he will collapse in the wind, is Yun Xiniang's younger brother, Yun Qiu.

Even when everyone was scolding her, Yun Xi Niang still had the nerve to go out. Coupled with the happy look on her face, her thick skin was beyond Yun Mei Niang's expectation.

And the purpose of this family of three's visit is even more surprising.

"Why does your family have to pay for the betrothal gift after your wedding?"

Mrs. Chen started shouting loudly as soon as she entered the courtyard, not caring about the people watching the excitement outside.
