Madam Qian stroked her hair and said, “Silly girl, what are you apologizing for? You didn’t do anything wrong.”

Madam Zhao patted her on the shoulder and said firmly, “That’s right. That family did you wrong. Daniu, don’t be sad. We’ll definitely get them to give you an explanation. We won’t let you suffer for nothing.”

Madam Qian echoed, “That’s right, we have to get them to give us an explanation. Don’t be sad. Your father and your grandfather went to look for the village chief. We won’t let this matter rest.”

Chen Daniu’s heart was very warm. She hugged Madam Qian, nodded, and said with a nasal voice, “Thank you, father, mother, and aunt. Thank you.”

“With your concern for me, I’m not afraid of anything.”

Chen Daniu raised her head and looked at Madam Qian before looking at Madam Zhao.

Chen Daniu finally thought it through. Madam Qian heaved a sigh of relief.

Madam Zhao’s gaze was gentle, and she was relieved.

Su Sanlang and Chen Hu had summoned the village chief.

Old Master Wang naturally thought more about Chen Hu, so he brought the two families to the Su family.

Su Xiaolu did not expect that she would come to this place again in such a way.

It was necessary to seek justice for Chen Daniu.

Because Su Sanlang and Chen Hu’s families had both entered the village, the others were also curious and could not help but follow them to take a look.

Therefore, when they arrived at the Su family, there was already a large group of people.

The Su family was discussing the marriage between Xu Bowen and Su Yufang with the Xu family.

Old Master Su asked for ten taels of silver as a betrothal gift. He also asked Xu Bowen to cancel Su Yufang’s engagement. All losses would be borne by the Xu family.

Mr. Xu and Madam Wu’s faces were dark. Madam Wu directly said that Su Yufang was not a lady from a prestigious family and did not need so many betrothal gifts. If she seduced Xu Bowen, the Xu family would be generous to pay five taels of silver.

Madam Wang immediately cursed. If the Xu family did not take responsibility, she would go to the academy to lie down.

Mr. Xu and Madam Wu were both complaining. What was going on?

The matchmaker, Madam Yang, sat awkwardly. She did not have the chance to speak at all. As a matchmaker, she had always sent messages from both sides. Only when they were really engaged would the two in-laws have some interaction. She did not know what to do about Xu Bowen and Su Yufang’s situation.

Madam Yang only hoped that the two families could quickly come to a consensus and settle this matter.

However, before an agreement was reached, there was a commotion outside the house. Someone shouted, “Those from the Su family, come out.”

The moment he heard the shout, he frowned. “Why is the village chief here again?”

In Old Master Su’s heart, nothing good happened when the village chief came. It was not fair at all. If not for him favoring Su Sanlang’s family, their family would not be so deserted in the village.

Madam Wang also frowned. She looked at Old Master Su. “Old man, what do you think we should do?”

Madam Li stole a glance from the window and exclaimed, “Mother, almost everyone in the village is here to watch the show. I think Chen Hu’s family is here. They must be here to seek justice for Chen Daniu.”

“Su Sanlang’s family is here. Tsk, tsk…”

Madam Li clicked her tongue twice. She glanced at Madam Zhou and gloated a little. Su Yufang wanted to rob them halfway through the journey, and she was not afraid of being defeated. Did she really think that Chen Hu’s family was still the same as before?

Madam Zhou frowned.

Su Yufang sat beside Madam Zhou and sobbed softly.

Madam Zhou looked at Mr. Xu and Madam Wu and said, “This matter was originally caused by you. You have to go out and deal with it.”

She could not ask her daughter to go out and suffer such a thing.

Mr. Xu frowned. “My son didn’t do this alone. If your daughter didn’t have the intentions, why didn’t she scream? No matter how bold my son is, he couldn’t have done anything wrong in such an environment.”

Madam Wu glanced at Su Yufang with disgust. “A fly can’t bite a seamless egg. I don’t think your daughter is a good person either. My son only cares about studying and has always been clean. If your daughter hadn’t seduced him, he wouldn’t have done anything foolish.”

When Madam Wu said that, how could Madam Zhou tolerate it? She immediately retorted, “What are you talking about? My daughter is innocent. Your son has already admitted that he was rash. Don’t even think about blaming my daughter.”

Madam Zhou caught what Xu Bowen had admitted to previously.

Madam Wu was instantly speechless.

Xu Bowen rubbed his forehead and said, “Alright, stop arguing. I was wrong in this matter. I should apologize to Chen Daniu and give her an explanation. I’ll go out.”

After calming down, Xu Bowen knew he was in trouble.

He was now being driven over a fire. Everything was difficult.

If he didn’t marry Su Yufang, the Su family wouldn’t give up. They might make him unable to even study.

If he didn’t apologize to Chen Daniu, the Chen family wouldn’t let the matter rest. They would also make him unable to continue studying.

It was difficult either way. He might as well admit his mistake and gain a good reputation. He would apologize to Chen Daniu’s family and marry Su Yufang.

Xu Bowen headed for the door.

“Wen…”

Madam Wu was very stubborn and hurriedly chased after him. Mr. Xu’s face darkened and he followed her out.

Su Yufang still did not understand Xu Bowen. She was afraid that she would not get anything in the end after doing so much. Hence, she sniffed and said to Old Master Su and Madam Wang with a sobbing voice, “Grandpa, Grandma, this matter is already a foregone conclusion. I have to marry Xu Bowen no matter what. I’m also at fault. I’ll go beg for her forgiveness and ask for her blessings for Xu Bowen and me.”

With that, Su Yufang stood up and left.

Her plan was going well. This was a critical time. She couldn’t afford to relax.

“Whoever wants to go can go.”

Old Master Su said angrily. In any case, he did not want to embarrass himself.

Madam Zhou hurriedly got up and left.

Su Erlang and his two sons followed him out. Xu Bowen was indeed better than a farmer. If he did well, he would be an Elementary Scholar’s father-in-law.

Madam Li was getting excited. She fawned over Madam Wang and said, “Mother, I’ll go out and take a look too. Second brother and I are family. Our family has to be united.”

After saying that, Madam Li got up and left. She would not let go of any opportunity to take advantage of.

Su Sanlang helped Chen Hu. Chen Hu was not his biological brother.

In this family, only Old Master Su still wanted Su Sanlang to apologize and come back. Their first and second branches actually did not want Su Sanlang’s family to come back.

Su Sanlang’s family was so glorious now. If they turned around, their two families would be suppressed. Anyway, they wouldn’t be able to obtain any benefits from Su Sanlang’s family. Naturally, they would take advantage of the opportunity to stab Old Master Su’s heart.

Madam Wang spat coldly and muttered, “None of them are good.”

Madam Wang was getting older and her health was not as good as before. She also knew that her two daughters-in-law were not good people, so she held onto her husband tightly.

Madam Yang sighed and stood up silently to leave.

Su Dalang also got up and went out. The children also followed him out. As the granddaughters-in-law of this family, they also silently followed him out to watch the show.
