Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 1660: Chapter 1662: Then I’ll Search the House

Lan Hua’s aunt heard this, and immediately turned to look at her younger daughter.

Seeing her younger daughter so frightened, she realized what was going on!

She was almost about to cough up blood from anger; how could her daughter take matters into her own hands and secretly give so much to Yang Daniu.

What kind of person is Yang Daniu? The kind that eats you up without leaving the bones, an endless pit!

Although she felt angry, she forcefully suppressed her grievances.

"Stop talking nonsense, my Xiaocui didn’t take your things, and she has nothing to do with Yang Daniu. You just want to break off the engagement, and you fear we won’t return the betrothal gifts, so you’re fabricating these lies."

Lan Hua’s aunt started shouting towards the courtyard gate, because she saw it was already surrounded by people outside.

"Villagers, the Yang Family is bullying us, wanting to call off the engagement and fearing we won’t return the betrothal gifts, spreading rumors about our Xiaocui. My Xiaocui is so young; how could she do such things as pretending to faint and stealing!"

This time, Lan Hua’s aunt was clever enough not to mention Yang Dong and Li Chuntao, fearing that Yang Dong might go crazy and tear her apart.

Upon hearing this, Yang Gang and his wife were fuming. They wanted to speak up, but their fourth brother specifically instructed on the way here not to intervene until he gave them the signal.

The two kept looking at Yang Dong, hoping he’d instruct them to do something, but saw Yang Dong standing calmly, looking confident, so they stayed silent.

At this moment, Yang Dong stood there, seemingly exuding a chill, looking at Lan Hua’s aunt with a half-smile, "Done talking?"

These words left Lan Hua’s aunt stunned, unsure how to continue the act.

Then, Yang Dong said, "But... it’s useless! No matter what you say to the villagers, the engagement must be canceled, and the Silver must be returned."

His demeanor reminded Lan Hua’s aunt of Yang Dong’s appearance when he came to settle the engagement.

How could she forget he was as stubborn as a mule?

But it’s different now; back then, she received Silver and compromised, yet now she’d have to give back the Silver, and she wouldn’t compromise no matter what.

Once in possession of Silver, there’s no logic in handing it back.

So she resorted to being aggressive, "If that’s the case, then the engagement won’t be canceled. Let’s just keep dragging on like this."

But Yang Dong didn’t listen to her and continued, "Will you hand over the thirty taels voluntarily, or should I search for it?"

Upon hearing that Yang Dong might ransack her home, Lan Hua’s aunt wailed loudly, "Villagers, listen up! The Yang Family is bullying us; they want to raid our home! Besides, my family is just a farming household; where would thirty taels come from!"

Today, Yang Dong had already made up his mind, and no matter how Lan Hua’s aunt tried to spin the tale, he wouldn’t reason with her.

"In that case, I’ll search inside the house myself."

Seeing Yang Dong moving to act, Lan Hua’s aunt immediately stepped forward to block him, shouting, "Yang Dong, if you dare to ransack my house today, I will fight you to the death."

But Yang Dong acted as if he hadn’t heard her, shoved Lan Hua’s aunt aside, and called out, "Second brother, second sister-in-law."

Upon hearing the call, Yang Gang and his wife rushed forward to restrain Lan Hua’s aunt, finally their skills were put to use.

"Let go of me, let go of me! I’ll sue you for breaking into a private residence."

Lan Hua’s aunt struggled as she watched Yang Dong heading towards the room where she hid the money.
