Chapter 157
"Isn't it hot wearing a curtain hat?"
"Xiruo, make tea for Mrs. Dong."
Xiruo said: "Yes."
As soon as she went out, there were Lin Yunwan and Dong Shuangshuang in the room.
Dong Shuangshuang moved the curtain hat on his head, but still refused to take it off.
Lin Yunwan lowered her eyes lightly, holding a coral bead bracelet in her hand that she often wore recently.
Dong Shuangshuang whispered: "...I'm afraid of scaring you."
Lin Yunwan sighed and said, "How could I be afraid of this?"
Dong Shuangshuang took off his curtain and hat. His face was covered with bruises and his eyes were so swollen that his original appearance could no longer be seen.
No matter how prepared she was, Lin Yunwan was still frightened.
She frowned and asked, "Have you seen the doctor?"
This will cause internal injuries!
Dong Shuangshuang pursed her lips and said nothing.
Lin Yunwan felt very distressed and angry that she didn't cherish her.
Dong Shuangshuang said warmly: "Don't worry! I, I will hold my sister in my arms and go to cancel the engagement. After the cancellation is completed, I will call the doctor."
"break off an engagement?"
Dong Shuangshuang said: "Husband, husband, he lost the bet, so he used my sister's marriage as a mortgage. He regrets it now. He promised me to break off the engagement tomorrow."
"What about the money he owes? You use the dowry to pay it for him?"
Dong Shuangshuang smiled bitterly: "Yun Wan, I'm not afraid of your jokes. Apart from leaving some dowry for my sister, my dowry... has been emptied out long ago."
Overtly and covertly, I don’t know how much money I have paid for my husband.
"My mother-in-law is in charge of the house. We don't have much money. But...my mother-in-law doesn't care this time."
As for the money owed...
She said: "My husband said he would find a way and asked me to leave it alone."
Dong Shuangshuang pursed her lips and said, "Yun Wan, I know I'm useless."
"But as long as my sister is safe, I'll be satisfied."
Lin Yunwan asked calmly: "Do you really believe that your husband will break off the engagement?"
"A gambler who can't control himself, Shuangshuang, do you really believe him?"
Dong Shuangshuang lowered his head and said nothing. She said helplessly: "What can I do if I don't believe it?"
She was really at a loss: "What can I do..."
"Of course there is a way."
Lin Yunwan said lightly.
A strange light flashed in Dong Shuangshuang's eyes.
She was silent for a moment, then put on a smile and said, "Yun Wan, I'm just here to tell you that I'm fine. Don't worry about me. Everything you asked me to do for you is written down in this booklet."
"Sister is still waiting for me at home, I'll go back first."
Lin Yunwan could only stand up and say, "I'll see you off."
He personally helped Dong Shuangshuang put on her curtain hat and sent her out the door.
Xiruo made tea, but Dong Shuangshuang didn't even drink it.
She put down the tea for Lin Yunwan to drink, and asked, "Is Mrs. Dong injured on her face?"
Lin Yunwan nodded: "He was seriously injured."
Xiruo clenched her fist and said: "Men who hit women are really useless!"
This is the kind of man she despises the most.
Xiruo asked angrily: "Girl, Mrs. Dong didn't resist?"
Lin Yunwan touched the coral bracelet on her wrist and said warmly: "Her daughter is her lifeblood, and her husband can easily harm her daughter for the rest of her life. Her lifeline is in the hands of others, how can she resist?"
Xiruo stopped talking.
If it were her, she wouldn't let that kind of person go!
Lin Yunwan sighed softly: "...But she doesn't know that the more she retreats, the more it will harm her daughter."
Xiruo walked over and asked, "Girl, do you have a good idea?"
"What's the use of me having an idea."
"She has to be ruthless on her own."
Cherish if you are thoughtful.
Lin Yunwan opened the booklet Dong Shuangshuang left for her. It was densely filled with the background of Jiang Qian's distinguished family and the husband of the right age.
"What a wonderful handwriting."
Very beautiful small regular script.
Xiruo didn't know what was on the booklet, so she asked: "Is it better than you, girl?"
Lin Yunwan smiled and said, "My handwriting is not as delicate as hers."
Xiruo understood: "Everyone has his own merits."
Lin Yunwan smiled and became more and more satisfied as she looked at the contents in the booklet. Jiang Qian was an outstanding person, and there were more people who were well matched than she thought.
She is the wife of the house with ease. If you can find a man who is committed to business and progress, you will be able to treat each other with respect as a guest in the future.
"Girl, will Mrs. Dong come again?"
Xiruo asked suddenly.
Lin Yunwan's eyes brightened: "Yes."
She also smiled lightly: "Maybe it will come tomorrow."
Lin Yunwan was really right. Before noon the next day, Dong Shuangshuang came, holding the child in his arms. He was crying so hard that he didn't bother to put on the curtain on his face. He took it off as soon as he entered the door. His bites were bleeding and he couldn't breathe. He said intermittently: "He lied to me! He lied to me. I took my daughter there not to break off the engagement..."
I brought my wife and daughter here with me. If I didn’t break off the engagement, what were they doing?
Lin Yunwan was full of doubts, but she ordered Xiruo first: "Twist a hot handkerchief for Mrs. Dong. Take my sister to sleep next door."
My sister was also crying, as if she was tired from crying and wanted to sleep, she closed her eyes and twitched.
Xiruo carried the child out first and asked the maid to fetch water, but said, "Put it at the door, you don't want to go in."
"yes."
The little maid agreed, she took her sister to the next door, found a careful coaxer, then went to the door to get water, brought it in to wash Dong Shuangshuang's face, and listened to what she said.
In the morning, Dong Shuangshuang went to break off the engagement happily, taking her daughter with her.
She originally didn't want to take her because she thought it would be a hassle for her daughter. Moreover, it is enough for parents to make the final decision on marriage matters, so why should their daughter do it?
Husband Lu Rong said: "If you don't take your daughter with you, how can others believe that you are going to break off the engagement?"
Dong Shuangshuang wanted to argue, but Lu Rong said impatiently: "Are you going to retreat?"
"Back off, back off!"
She held her daughter in her arms and went to the creditor's house.
Lu Rong seemed to really want to break off the engagement. As soon as he came to the door, he said: "Let's break off the engagement!"
The creditor had no intention of pestering her at first, so he retreated as soon as he wanted to, but when he saw the little girl, who looked ice and snow, his face suddenly changed.
"Repaying the money, handing over the money with one hand, and destroying the IOU with the other."
However, "Lu Rong, when you owed me money, it was already a month ago. When you pay me back, you can't just pay back three thousand taels."
The creditor banged the table and said a number, then looked at Lu Rong with a smile.
I made up my mind that Lu Rong, a gambler, couldn't afford it.
Dong Shuangshuang didn't know what her husband had in mind, and thought he would agree.
Lu Rong sneered, "When I owed you money, you didn't say that your son was born with a disability."
Dong Shuangshuang turned pale with fright.
He is actually disabled!
If the marriage is not cancelled, her daughter will marry a disabled person.
I was so frightened that I broke into a cold sweat.
The creditor's face was stern and difficult to argue with.
Lu Rong said arrogantly: "The worst possible outcome is going to the Yamen!"
The creditor's eyes wandered, and he looked at Dong Shuangshuang's daughter. He felt very sorry, but he could only agree: "Okay, okay, just three thousand taels."
Pay back as much as you borrow.
Lu Rong quit.
He didn't really come to break off the engagement.
Why is it not cost-effective to exchange a seven-year-old daughter for three thousand taels of gambling capital?
