Chapter 851 - 851: The Yu Family’s Fury
Many families struggled to save even eight liang within a year.
Ms. Niu nodded in agreement.
It would be wise for them to act sooner rather than later.
The next day, Ms. Niu hurriedly set out to find a matchmaker.
Ms. Zhang observed her actions and had a vague understanding of her intentions. She silently sneered.
The matchmaker had already profited from Ms. Niu and decided to accompany her on the visit, although she found the entire situation ridiculous.
As expected, the Yu Family reacted with anger.
“What are they talking about? Are they joking with us? We’ve exchanged birth dates and everything matches! They simply don’t think we’re good enough for them!”
“We won’t tolerate being bullied like this. There’s no way we’re breaking off the engagement. Or I can share this story with others and gauge their opinions! ”
“Absolutely! It’s non-negotiable!”
The Yu Family was delighted to learn that Shao Yunduan had become a Provincial Champion. Although Shao Meiling was not Shao Yunduan’s sister, she was his cousin, after all.
If they encountered any difficulties and sought his help, he would never turn them down!
Moreover, the martial alliance would greatly benefit their family’s reputation.
The Yan Family also had a prosperous workshop. By establishing a martial connection between the two families, the Yu Family might even secure employment at the Yan Family’s workshop.
Earning one or two liang per month for easy work… what a fantastic opportunity!
Additionally, the Shao Family had established a school in Shaoding Village, and their children could attend classes there without paying tuition fees. These were all advantages of the martial alliance.
Only foolish individuals would forfeit such an opportunity!
In a surprising turn of events, the Shao Family decided to call off the engagement, seemingly due to a sudden lack of confidence. But the Yu Family was determined not to let that happen!
It was an incredibly humiliating situation.
The matchmaker, recognizing the unreasonableness of the Yu Family, quietly slipped away instead of engaging in an argument.
Blamed and scolded by the Yu Family, the matchmaker felt irritated. When passing on the message to Ms. Niu, she added some inflammatory remarks, further fueling the fire.
Ms. Niu was also seething with anger. She slammed her hand on the table and cursed, “What a foolish family! Unreasonable people! We will never marry
Meiling into their household! She would only suffer. We refuse to proceed!”
Ms. Niu appeared to have found a justifiable excuse to continue with her decision.
Taking matters into her own hands, she personally went to the Yu Family. Ms. Niu hurled vulgar words at them.
Even when she offered to repay them with ten liang, they engaged in a heated argument that eventually led to a complete dissolution of the engagement.
The Yu Family was the aggrieved party, but they feared that if Ms. Niu sought help from the esteemed Shao, they would be powerless to intervene.
To gain sympathy and support, they shared their ordeal with others.
The Shao Family’s arrogance knew no bounds! Such bullying was unprecedented in their eyes.
After they had already exchanged birth dates, they suddenly decided to call off the engagement?
The news of this development quickly spread throughout Shaoding Village, reaching every household.
Ms. Fang expressed her disbelief, cursing, “What has gotten into these two? How could they act so unethically? They don’t seem to care about the reputation of either the Yu Family or their own daughter.”
Qiao Xuan let out a sigh, sharing the sentiment.
No respectable family would be willing to establish a marital connection with them now, given their reputation for snobbishness!
Even if there were wealthy families interested in marrying Shao Meiling, she might end up as a concubine or face bullying after the marriage, considering the circumstances..
