Soon, the family to whom Li Rou was engaged came to visit and asked whether the matter was true or false.
Li Rou's parents quickly explained.
"My dear, you have to believe us, this is all false. You also know that those talkative women in the village love to talk nonsense and make assumptions. When it reaches your ears, it will be a different version." Li Dashan said in a low voice.
He said that he was afraid that the other party would cancel the marriage.
Lin Xiaoqiu nodded and agreed: "Yes, I can't believe it. My daughter is not that kind of person. She is still an innocent girl."
Deng Hu frowned, wondering whether the words of the two men were credible or not.
"Mom, are there guests at home?" At this time, Li Rou's voice came.
Everyone followed the sound and saw Li Rou walking towards Zhou Sheng's arm, and Li Rou's head rested on Zhou Sheng's shoulder from time to time, making her look very intimate.
With this look, it is impossible for people to believe that there is no relationship between them.
Sure enough, Deng Hu pointed at the two of them angrily, blowing his beard and glaring in anger, "Is this what you said? It doesn't matter?"
The faces of Li Dashan and Lin Xiaoqiu suddenly changed, and Lin Xiaoqiu quickly stepped forward to pull them apart.
"In-laws, they are just brothers and sisters, sworn brothers and sisters." Li Dashan explained awkwardly, his old face turned red.
Lin Xiaoqiu reached out and pinched Li Rou's shoulder, "Explain it to your Uncle Deng quickly."
Li Rou, however, remained motionless and looked confused.
Zhou Sheng looked at it calmly, but there was a hint of calculation in his expression.
Deng Hu had already seen the closeness between the two just now. No matter what they said, he didn't believe there was no relationship between the two, so he roared: "Okay, don't say anything anymore."
Then he took a deep breath and made up his mind: "This marriage is over, your family must return the bride price intact to us, otherwise your family and I will never be done."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Li Dashan wanted to chase, but Zhou Sheng grabbed his arm. He stopped and cursed angrily: "Let me go, you brat."
"It's useless for you to chase him." Zhou Sheng said calmly.
Li Dashan was so angry that he picked up the broom placed behind the door and started beating it, "You bastard, I'll beat you to death for causing harm to my daughter. Get out of my house!"
Zhou Sheng did not dodge. He knew that the old man was angry, so he let the old man hit him. After beating him enough, he would naturally calm down.
"Dad, please stop fighting." Li Rou shouted distressedly, trying to stop him.
Lin Xiaoqiu was also in the sun, and slapped Li Rou on the face, "You are an unfilial daughter."
Li Rou covered her beaten face and cried.
Lin Xiaoqiu was still angry and stretched out her hand to pinch Li Rou's arm hard.
Seeing this, Zhou Sheng stepped forward and pulled Li Rou into his arms to protect him, while the broom fell on his back. Unexpectedly, this action angered Li Dashan even more, and he hit Li Rou harder with the broom.
Li Buqin, who heard the noise, came over and saw the scene in the room. He quickly grabbed Li Dashan's broom and said, "Dad, stop fighting. The matter is now over, and it's useless for you to hit them."
When Li Dashan heard this, he saw his son protecting the two people, slapping his thighs with both hands, his eyes were filled with despair, and he asked, "Hey! What evil have I done?"
"Li Rou, go to the Deng family immediately and apologize. If they don't forgive you, I won't have you as my daughter in the future." Lin Xiaoqiu gave the order indifferently, leaving no way for Li Rou to escape.
Li Rou lowered her head and cried out: "Mom, which one is more important, me or the bride price?"
