Chapter 194 - 194 They're Not Here to Break Off Marriage, They're Here To Pressure Them!
194 They’re Not Here to Break Off Marriage, They’re Here To Pressure Them!
They weren’t here to sever ties. They were here to pressure them!
According to the Liu family’s way of doing things, if not for some other compelling reason, they definitely wouldn’t kick the Fang family to the curb so quickly!
The Liu family had not obtained enough advantages yet. How could they give up so easily?!
Even if they wanted to break off the engagement, the Liu family would think of a way to get the Fang family to bring it up themselves so that the Liu family would seem noble and magnanimous!
Therefore, the Wang family must have added fuel to the fire!
Since they couldn’t afford to offend the Wang family, they wanted the Fang family to be the suckers?!
“We should get this money back!” Fang Liu thought for a moment and stood up with a smile. “I’ll accompany Rui’er. In addition to the silver, we also have to get back the token we exchanged during the engagement!
Otherwise, what’s the meaning of a verbal promise?!”
The token from the Fang family was a small golden Buddha given to Fang Rui’er by Mrs. Luo and Mr. Fang after Fang Rui’er was born.
However, the token from the Liu family was just an inkstone that had a corner missing.
At this point, they were about to break off the engagement, but they didn’t mention returning the token. What were they thinking? The more the Fang family thought about it, the more disgusted they felt!
More importantly, she felt aggrieved for Rui’er.
She had to avenge her sister-in-law!
“I think it’s better for me to ask for the silver! Then, you guys can ask for the token! Let’s go together and do our own things, okay?!” Lin Suisui suddenly said with a smile. “Previously, when I went to the Liu family to treat that woman, the Liu family asked Rui’er to invite me!
Both times!
When I went to treat her, they also said that luckily, Rui’er was willing to help and hired me to treat that woman!
Now that this woman has recovered and came over to cancel the engagement for her son, she should pay the consultation fee she owed previously!
Rui’er is just a middleman. They can’t possibly let Rui’er pay the consultation fee after she helped them. Isn’t that too shameless?!”
Lin Suisui smiled at the three women from the Luo family. Her words were clear, and the deeper meaning in her words immediately made the Luo family’s eyes light up.
However, Mrs. Luo felt a little embarrassed. “But this matter has nothing to do with you. Now that we’ve implicated you, it’s really… really inappropriate!”
“What’s inappropriate about that? It’s only right to repay a debt! I went to treat them twice. Previously, I only allowed them to default on their payment because you’re in-laws with the Liu family!
Since they are no longer your in-laws, I definitely have to get this money back!
I can’t make the trip without compensation, right?! I’m a doctor, not a charity worker!”
Lin Suisui continued, “Therefore, go over and ask for a token to annul the engagement! Then, I’ll ask for the consultation fee!
In front of everyone, it’s impossible for them to go back on their word!”
After settling things, Mrs. Luo went in to get the Liu family’s token. With Lin Suisui and the others, she went out and rushed towards the tent where the Liu family lived.
While Lin Suisui and the others were rushing over, Madam Liu had just returned from the Fang family’s place. At this moment, she was lying on the couch with a handkerchief on her head. She instructed her youngest daughter, Liu Yuan’er, weakly, “Go and get that golden Buddha. It’s a token sent over by your third brother when he got engaged to that girl from the Fang family!
Now that we want to break off the engagement, we have to return the golden Buddha no matter what!”
“I don’t want to!” Liu Yuan’er’s eyes were red. No matter what, she was unwilling to give in. “Previously, you gave my sister a jade bracelet. Why should I give the golden Buddha back?!
I won’t allow it!”
“Yuan’er, listen to me. Your sister’s jade bracelet was obtained when our family was still well-off. Our life has become difficult now. You…”
Before Madam Liu could finish speaking, she covered her mouth and started coughing violently. Her eldest daughter-in-law, who was standing beside her, quickly took two steps forward and helped pat her mother-in-law’s back to calm her down. She continued to persuade the stubborn Liu Yuan’er, “Sister Yuan’er, don’t be angry. This golden Buddha was indeed a token sent over by them when your third brother got engaged.
If you don’t return it now, how are we going to break off the engagement?!”
“Then don’t break off the engagement!” Liu Yuan’er stomped her feet and said angrily, “Why did you guys break off the engagement?! Anyway, this golden Buddha is mine. I won’t give it to anyone!”
“Nonsense! Don’t you know what happened to that girl from the Fang family?! Didn’t you hear what your sister just said?!
Your brother is so promising, but he actually wants to marry such a notorious woman. Aren’t you making things difficult for your brother?!”
Liu Du was furious when she heard Liu Yuan’er’s words. She raised her hand and slapped the bed hard, her eyes filled with ruthlessness. “Besides, the Wang family also said that if we don’t cooperate, the outcome of the Fang family’s girl will be your future!
Yuan’er, do you want your reputation to be ruined like that girl from the Fang family?!
“Let me tell you, your father and I can’t tolerate such a scandal. If you really have such an encounter, it’s best if you just hang yourself!”
“The Wang family said it so nicely for our own good, but in fact, they want their family to marry Fang Rui’er!” Liu Yuan’er wasn’t frightened by her mother’s words at all. Instead, she became even angrier.
She took two steps back while staring at her mother. She was getting angrier and angrier, so she didn’t hide anything anymore and blurted out, “The Fang family is on good terms with Gu Erlang’s family now!
If the Wang family’s son can marry Fang Rui’er and establish ties with the Fang family, no matter what the Wang family wanted the Fang family to help them with, the Fang family could only do it on account of their marital ties!
“You actually want to call off this marriage. Are you crazy or stupid?!”
Liu Yuan’er roared with tears in her eyes. She panted heavily as she glared at her mother and waited for her to explain.
