Chapter 198: Break off the engagement?
Guan Lei felt panicky, wondering if her mother was here again.
She waited for a while, and then the door outside was pounded a few more times. She walked out nervously and asked, "Who is it?"
"Open the door quickly." It was Zhao Lan's voice.
Guan Lei breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked over to remove the bolt.
Zhao Lan was carrying several plastic bags, wiping her sweat, her face full of anger, "You're so slow to open the door, so early in the morning, are you sleeping?"
"No, I'm sewing clothes for the baby."
"You couldn't hear the knock at the door while you were sewing?"
"Forget it," Feng Zhuanxia walked straight into the yard and said, "No one came to our house today, right?"
Guan Lei was shocked. Could it be that she knew something?
When she sent her mother out just now, she clearly didn't notice anyone in the village.
She quickly said, "No."
Feng Zhuanxia nodded and said, "You'd better call your parents and your sister and tell them not to come during this period."
Guan Lei was in a very complicated mood. What she wanted to know most now was what the consequences would be if she broke the rules?
Wouldn’t her child turn into a monster that’s neither male nor female?
So anxious.
She said, "Mom, is this really that magical? What would happen if someone entered the house?"
Feng Zhuanxia glared at her fiercely and said, "Are you still doubting others' ability?"
"No, I just think it will take 49 days. What if the door is not locked properly and someone comes in?"
"Are you a pig-head or something? How dare you ask such a stupid question."
Guan Lei felt annoyed and went into the house without saying anything else.
She sat on the edge of the bed, feeling resentful towards her mother.
Feng Zhuanxia went into the kitchen and drank a large bowl of cold water. She said to Zhao Lan, "Go and see if there's anything missing. Let's buy everything at once today."
"it is good."
Just then, the door rang.
Feng Zhuanxia hurried over and looked through the crack in the door. It turned out to be Zhao Lan's matchmaker.
She was about 50 years old, fat, and was wiping her sweat with a handkerchief in her hand.
She came here a while ago and clarified all the engagement matters. Why is she here again now?
Feng Zhuanxia opened the door and said, "Sister-in-law, you're here?"
The matchmaker was about to walk into the yard when Feng Zhuanxia stopped him, pointed at the red cloth bag on the gate, and said, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, no one is allowed to enter the house during this period."
The matchmaker looked at the red cloth bag, understood what was going on, and then looked around. When he found that there were no people around, he whispered, "Okay, let's talk about it here."
"You must be thirsty, sister-in-law. Wait a minute. I'll get you a glass of water."
As she spoke, Feng Zhuanxia quickly walked into the house, poured a cup of warm water and brought it out.
"It's like this," the matchmaker took a sip of water and said, "I'll be frank. The Zhang family has changed their minds."
"Ah?" Feng Zhuanxia felt her ears buzzing and her mind went blank.
The matchmaker wiped the sweat off her face with her handkerchief, patted Feng Zhuanxia on the shoulder, and said, "Don't be too sad. They want to end the relationship unilaterally, so the jewelry and clothes they bought for Zhao Lan don't need to be returned."
Feng Zhuanxia's mind at the moment wasn't on jewelry or clothes at all, that was just greed for some money.
The main problem is that Zhao Lan won’t be able to get married again.
The thought of what others were going to say about their family made her feel dizzy and she wished she could die on the spot.
She held onto the door frame and said weakly, "Sister-in-law, why, why is this happening? Is there any room for maneuver?"
"Alas, I don't know exactly what happened. They were fine a while ago, but I don't know why they suddenly want to cancel the engagement. Don't worry, I will help our Zhao Lan keep an eye on her and will definitely find a man who is ten times better than that Zhang Qingsheng."
Feng Zhuanxia smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
"Well, I came here to talk about this. You don't have to return the gifts they brought you before. You and Zhao Lan should relax. There are many men in the world. Let's find a good one."
Feng Zhuanxia felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, unable to utter a word. She could only watch the matchmaker's fat body sway out of the village.
Zhao Lan was counting things in the house just now and did not hear the conversation.
When she came out after counting, she found her mother leaning against the door frame, her face pale, as if she was sick.
She hurried over and said, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Feng Zhuanxia shook her head and opened her mouth, but didn't utter a word.
"Mom? What's wrong with you? Don't scare me." Zhao Lan panicked.
Guan Lei originally planned not to come out, but she was afraid that Feng Zhuanxia would use this as an excuse, so she came out as well.
She was also startled. Feng Zhuanxia looked like she was possessed by an evil spirit, with a dull look in her eyes.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Two people helped Feng Zhuanxia to the kang in the main room, and Guan Lei did not forget to quickly bolt the door.
Zhao Lan quickly picked up a wet towel and wiped Feng Zhuanxia's face.
After a long time, Feng Zhuanxia finally burst into tears. Her voice was so miserable that Zhao Lan couldn't help but have red eyes.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Tell me whatever's going on and we'll think of a solution." Zhao Lan said as she helped Feng Zhuanxia wipe her face.
"Xiao Lan, the Zhang family is not human, not human."
Zhao Lan's heart skipped a beat and she asked hurriedly, "Which Zhang family? Mom, please explain clearly."
Feng Zhuanxia wiped her nose and said, "Zhang Qingsheng's family, he, they want to cancel the engagement."
Zhao Lan also became anxious.
It wasn't that she liked Zhang Qingsheng, but the main reason was that almost everyone knew about the marriage, and because of Zhang Qingsheng's position as a teacher, many people thought this marriage was a good idea.
If I cancel the engagement at this critical moment, I don’t know what others will say.
"Why, why do you want to cancel the engagement? Mom, you are kidding, they even took away my birth date last time."
"The matchmaker came just now, but you didn't hear it because you were in the room. Oh, what a sin." Feng Zhuanxia started crying again.
Guan Lei felt so relieved, it seemed that Liu Qinqin had finally figured it out.
She glanced secretly at Zhao Lan, whose face was as pale as if covered with a layer of yellow paper.
Let you show off. Now, aren't you afraid that no man will want you? Just stay at your parents' house for the rest of your life.
She looked at Feng Zhuanxia's bruised nose and swollen eyes again and laughed out loud in her heart.
God is really open-minded!
"Mom." She took the towel handed to her by Feng Zhuanxia and said, "Don't cry yet. Your health is more important. You need to find out more about this matter. Ask them why they changed their mind at the last minute. If they do this, we can ask them for compensation."
Feng Zhuanxia stopped crying, looked at Guan Lei, nodded and said, "You are right, we can't just swallow this loss. Xiaolan has all her arms and legs, why should they let her bully us like this? I have to find out."
"That's right. Isn't that Zhang teaching in a middle school? If nothing works, let's go find the principal and make him give us an explanation."
Feng Zhuanxia nodded, wiped her face, and jumped off the kang.
