C543 Wind-dust Woman
When Ye Chen heard this, it really turned his mind upside down. He really couldn't imagine how a normal human could say this kind of thing so brazenly.
This old marquis must have heard the words from Sang Kun and felt that the mother and son must still have money in their hands and wanted to take the opportunity to extort some money. Thus, he made this unreasonable request.
Although Sang Kun's mother had brought up the matter of betrothal, in this era, what was there to damage their reputation? It was just an excuse to make money.
Now, Ye Chen could clearly see Sang Kun's anger, and he was extremely angry. However, he was still enduring because his mother was here, and since she didn't say anything, he didn't dare to do anything else.
Sang Kun's mother could clearly see that this old marquis was trying to raise the price, but he had brought along Sang Kun and his brother for so many years, so he wasn't a simple woman. It was impossible for him to be intimidated by this old marquis.
He immediately said to him, "Old Hou, we've been kissing in the countryside for so many years. Isn't it a little inappropriate for you to do this?"
The village chief accepted Old Hou's good fortune, so he stood up and said to Sang Kun's mother, "Alright, damn it, Little Kun. Actually, Old Hou's request is not too far off, after all, this is the young lady's request. Since you've affected her reputation here, you should make some compensation for it."
Even if Sang Kun's mother was cultivated, she would not be able to take it. Wasn't she clearly bullying the orphans and widows?
He wanted to suppress them on the moral high ground, but it was clearly Old Hou who first proposed annulling the engagement!
Even though Shang Kun's mother was trying to explain to them, they had the numbers advantage and were talking all over the place.
How could an old man who was seriously ill not be faster than them? Sang Kun was not good at speaking, so they were at a disadvantage.
Just when Ye Chen and Xia Yuzhu couldn't help themselves and wanted to help them. The door to the ward was pushed open. A tall woman with thick makeup walked in.
As soon as this woman walked in, all the old men's eyes were attracted, and they couldn't help but begin to make small movements.
This woman seemed to be accustomed to seeing such things and didn't care about their gazes at all. With every move, his movements would reveal an aura of dust.
As soon as this woman walked in, she immediately ran towards Old Hou. "How is it, Father? Has the matter been resolved?"
So this woman was the daughter that Old Hou had mentioned before. When Old Hou saw that his daughter had come over, he immediately sent the message over with a wink.
This daughter of hers clearly understood what her father meant, and she immediately stopped speaking, allowing her father to do as he pleased.
At this time, Sang Kun couldn't take it anymore and pointed at Old Hou, "I don't know how you and my mother negotiated. I don't know much about this matter, and I don't know what bewitching potion my mother was given to you."
"But let me give you a word of advice. It's best if you return the gift money and get out of this room as soon as possible. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The whole thing seemed so ridiculous and ridiculous. Sang Kun really couldn't be bothered to pay attention to them, and most importantly, Xia Yuzhu was still here. Sang Kun found it hard to accept watching someone make a joke out of him.
However, Sang Kun's mother was still reluctant to part with this marriage, as if she still wanted to stop Sang Kun from saying these words. Then, she turned around and said to the old man, "Hou, you should think about this matter, it's best if you don't change your mind. The two children aren't young anymore, they should be old enough to get married, don't you think?"
Sang Kun was speechless at his mother's actions. He had no idea what to do now that it was all true.
Now, it was unknown whether it was because his mother was old or because she was sick, but she had become very stubborn. She decided to marry into a family with her own heart and soul.
Just at this time, the daughter of Old Hou walked over, "I say, why are you so unreasonable? Don't we see what we mean? When you proposed to our family, you didn't tell us about your son. A street hoodlum, and you're seriously ill, aren't you? "
"How do you expect me to accept such family conditions? If I were to marry her, wouldn't you make me suffer together with you? "Do you know that I am considered a person of high society in the city, how can you be so embarrassed to say such words when I am in the countryside to suffer together with you?"
After he finished his words, everyone was stunned on the spot. Even his father, Old Hou, had a face as red as a monkey's butt. What was wrong with his girl? Why did she say such words? It was simply too embarrassing.
However, he did admit that his daughter had been developing in the city all along, and that she was very pretty, very young. Of course, he wouldn't let her marry a street hoodlum like her, and he also had a very sick mother with him, so he didn't stop his daughter.
It was obvious that after Old Hou's daughter had finished speaking, Sang Kun's mother's gaze gradually began to lose its luster. She could only mutter helplessly, "Child, don't worry. My illness can't be cured, so I don't plan on continuing to treat it …"
"Enough!" Sang Kun shouted to his mother.
"Mom, what's wrong with you, could it be that your son is so unbearable in your eyes? In the end, he couldn't even marry a wife? "Right now, your main task is to take care of your body and stop thinking about these random things!"
As he said that, he turned around and glanced at the woman, "Such a coquettish woman, tell me what kind of upper-class citizen she is, hmph, I just don't want to expose her!"1
His words shocked everyone. The face of the old marquis, who was standing by the side, immediately fell. If it was anyone else, even a father would not tolerate such harsh words. Even if he was unreasonable, it was still the nature of a man.
