Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 1658: Chapter 1660: Here to Break Off the Engagement

Lan Hua returned from the Yang Family home and rushed straight to the room where she hid her money, afraid she couldn’t protect her silver.

She climbed onto the kang, used all her strength to move the box, and saw a hole in the wall next to it which was covered by a stone.

Removing the stone, she saw her carefully hidden small cloth package wrapped in layers, containing the silver she had saved over the years, a full twenty taels, and the house and land deeds.

If it weren’t for the engagement with the Yang Family, she would have only saved a few taels these years.

Just as she was about to take it out and count it, she heard a noise and quickly turned around, "Who?"

"Mom, I’m here to ask, how did it go?"

"Hold on, I’ll be right there." Hearing her youngest daughter’s voice, she hurriedly put the stone back, deciding to count it at night, used all her strength to move the box back, and went out only after everything was restored to its original state.

As soon as she stepped outside, she saw her youngest daughter standing at the door, "Mom."

Seeing her youngest daughter’s anxious expression, Lan Hua’s eyebrows knitted tightly, her reputation couldn’t be saved, she might not even be able to keep her daughter, the Li Family had said they wanted to arrest people.

"Yang Dong has returned safely, the engagement is definitely going to be called off, I’ve already let the news about him and Li Chuntao out, you must stick to this, that betrothal gift is certainly not to be returned."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaocui’s heart sank, her whole body began to tremble, she was scared because Yang Dong had returned, could she really withstand Yang Dong?

Seeing her youngest daughter so scared, Lan Hua was furious, if it weren’t for her doing those foolish things, today wouldn’t have happened.

Now she knows fear, what was she thinking when she did those things back then?

She still had to rely on this old mother to clean up the mess.

There’s no one reliable in this family, the daughter is scared stiff, and the three sons even more cowardly, hiding with their mother-in-law and not coming back.

"Afraid of what? Li Chuntao might not even wake up, I reckon she won’t make it, and Yang Daniu hasn’t come back either, two out of the three are gone, only Yang Dong is left, you just have to cling to the story that Yang Dong and Li Chuntao had something going on, the engagement can be broken, but the betrothal gift won’t be returned, that’s fine."

Yang Xiaocui nodded, now she could only listen to her mother, as she couldn’t think of any other way.

"Alright, don’t be afraid, I reckon it’ll take a few days to call off the engagement, Li Chuntao is at the Yang Family now, unconscious like that, the Yang Family probably doesn’t have time to come."

Lan Hua didn’t mention the Li Family wanting to arrest people. She had thought it through, if the Li Family really came to arrest, then let them, since her daughter after all of this would basically be done for, not to mention having a tarnished reputation, she wouldn’t be able to marry off anyway.

She could only abandon her daughter to protect the rest of the family, it wasn’t worth sacrificing the silver for her daughter, making the whole family starve, yet still have to support her daughter for nothing.

But just as she finished speaking, they heard a loud bang, the front door had been kicked open just like that.

"Mom." Yang Xiaocui was so frightened she jumped, thinking it was Yang Dong coming to settle accounts.

The two of them stepped out of the room and indeed saw Yang Dong and others standing in their courtyard.

Lan Hua never imagined the Yang Family would come so quickly, it seemed they didn’t want to have any ties with their family for even a moment longer.

And sure enough, she heard Yang Dong’s father speak, "Auntie, we’re here today to call off the engagement."
