She didn’t have Madam Zhao’s luck and couldn’t live a good life like Madam Zhao.
Madam Li was not an easy person to get along with. If she was caught off guard, Madam Li would definitely plot against them.
Su Yufang was her only daughter. Madam Zhou was happier than anyone else that Su Yufang could get married. That was why after this happened, she immediately fought for Su Yufang and cooperated with her.
But she had suffered too much, so she couldn’t help but hit Su Yufang.
“Mother, I’m sorry.”!!
Su Yufang also knew that Madam Zhou had suffered because of her. She cried and apologized.
Madam Zhou sighed and said, “From now on, just stay at home and don’t go anywhere. As for the Xu family, mother and father will go and talk to them. As for the Luo family, they will also be informed. Mother can’t take out the betrothal money for the Luo family either. We’ll talk about it when the Luo family comes.”
“Mother can’t take out the money, but you can’t ask the Xu family either. You can’t let Xu Bowen look down on you. You and Xu Bowen are going to get married soon. If you go to his house, you’ll suffer a lot. I think that Xu Bowen is interested in you. Don’t be stupid. You have to be good to Xu Bowen, understand? If he likes you, your life will be better.”
“If the Luo family is not to be trifled with, your grandmother will cough up the money. If he’s cowardly, this money will belong to the public. He can forget about taking it back. Anyway, don’t worry about this matter. If your grandmother is angry, she’ll at most hit me a few times. I’ll just hide. Marry well and live a good life in the future. Don’t forget about your mother.”
Madam Zhou’s eyes turned red as she wiped away Su Yufang’s tears.
Su Yufang nodded as she cried.
She knew what she had to do. She had worked so hard to succeed. She was going to have a good life.
Madam Zhou felt a little more relaxed. Right now, she was only hoping that Madam Wang and Old Master Su would die as soon as possible so that they could split up. Then, she would not have to be tortured by Madam Wang.

When Chen Daniu encountered such a thing during her engagement, she persevered through it. However, when she returned home after it was over, she was still sad for a few days.
The matchmaker, Madam Yang, also returned the gift money she had received and said that she had misjudged the person this time. In the future, if she met someone good, she would definitely tell Chen Daniu first.
Regardless of whether these words were sincere or not, Chen Hu and Madam Qian felt good when they heard them. Since Madam Yang had a good attitude, they naturally had a good attitude as well. Since Madam Yang was the matchmaker, it was not her fault. Therefore, everyone happily settled the matter.
During this period of time, Chen Daniu didn’t go out and stayed at home to do work. She was very diligent. Madam Cao’s heart ached for her, so when the work was almost done, she called Madam Chen to rest.
Chen Daniu nodded and went to watch Su Xiaolu practice martial arts.
As this matter cooled down, Chen Daniu’s life slowly returned to normal.
No one said anything more about it. They all agreed that not mentioning it was the best solution.
Chen Daniu survived it. There was no need to mention it again. She just needed time to let this matter pass completely.
Sixth of November.
Two men came to the village that day.
When they passed by Su Sanlang’s house, Su Xiaolu and Chen Daniu overheard their conversation.
The woman said, “Chuan, don’t say anything when we get there. Auntie can do the talking. Let’s just return half of the betrothal money. We really can’t afford such a woman. Auntie will find you a good one in the future.”
Luo Chuan said coldly, “I know.”
The two had gone far away.
Su Xiaolu stopped and walked to Chen Daniu’s side. “Big Sister Daniu, Xing has been out for a long time. Let’s go and call him home.”
Chen Daniu looked at Su Xiaolu, who winked at her.
Chen Daniu nodded. “Okay.”
Su Xiaolu shouted into the back room, “Master Gui You, I’m going out.”
“Go on.”
Gui You agreed.
Su Xiaolu and Chen Daniu went out.
Chen Shi often played in the village. Recently, he had been messing with the Su family with his good friends, such as secretly pooping in the Su family’s vegetable bag.
And smeared stinky mud on their clean laundry.
Although the Su family members were cursing, they had no choice but to give up.
Seeing the unfamiliar faces of Luo Chuan and the woman, he thought that they must have something to do after entering the village. A thought popped up in Chen Shi’s mind. They were going to the Su family, so he immediately abandoned his friends and followed them.
The woman kept asking Luo Chuan to calm down on the way. Luo Chuan didn’t say a word.
Chen Shi listened attentively. When they were about to reach the Su family, Chen Shi shouted, “Auntie, wait a minute. You should be the unlucky ones who are engaged to the Su family, right? I know the Su family too well. It’s impossible for you not to make a scene.”
Luo Chuan looked at the mischievous children in front of him and said, “Tell us what happened to the Su family recently, and this would be yours.”
Luo Chuan took out five copper coins.
Chen Shi took it with a smile and said, “It seems that you guys still don’t know. Something big happened last month. That woman from the Su family who was engaged hugged and kissed a man who was engaged to another woman in our village. Tsk tsk, she’s the most shameless woman. Everyone says that she’s shameless.”
Chen Shi told Luo Chuan and the woman everything.
Chen Shi put the money into his shirt and gave Luo Chuan a sympathetic look.
“What? Didn’t her family say that Su Yufang had sores on her body?”
Madam Liu was very surprised. For some reason, she received a letter asking them to break off the engagement. It said that Su Yufang had a relapse and wanted to treat her illness. Perhaps it was difficult to treat her illness and she was afraid that it would affect Luo Chuan and decided to break off the engagement.
Madam Liu felt that such a woman would be a burden if she married him, so she brought Luo Chuan along to cancel the engagement.
He didn’t expect the real reason to be like this. Su Yufang was actually a person with no sense of propriety.
Chen Shi said very seriously, “That’s a lie. If you don’t believe me, go and take a look.”
Luo Chuan frowned.
Madam Liu gritted her teeth. “How despicable. They’re clearly trying to trick us. Let’s go. We have to get an explanation from them.”
What sores? They made it sound like she was about to die. It was all fake.
She still had to be secretive after doing something shameless. Using such an excuse to break off the engagement was clearly to make them feel bad and take the betrothal money. This was really annoying.
Chen Shi smiled, feeling much better.
The Su family had made his sister sad. If there was a chance to take revenge, he naturally wouldn’t let go of this opportunity.
Luo Chuan looked at Chen Shi and asked, “Little brother, what’s your name?”
Chen Shi did not want to say it. He smiled and said, “Big Brother, it doesn’t matter what my name is. Your matter is more important now. I just can’t stand it, so I spoke out. I like to act bravely.”
Luo Chuan smiled. “Alright, thank you for telling us this. Otherwise, we would still be in the dark.”
