Chapter 1403 Breaking off the Engagement 52
Shen Yuanpeng's leg hadn't healed yet. He limped in. Seeing the old couple's faces covered in blood, he said angrily, "Why are you fighting at home just because that damn girl got married? She's wasted all the money we have at home, and you're happy about it, right? Are you hoping that I'll never get married in my lifetime?"
Li Chunlan got up and grabbed him, "Son...son, hurry...hurry and take me to...to the village clinic. I...I am in so much pain."
Three of her front teeth had fallen out and her speech was lisp, but at least Shen Yuanpeng understood her.
He held out his hand, "Give me money, how can I go to the clinic without money?"
Li Chunlan felt sad at the thought of spending money again, but her scalp hurt even more. She didn't want to die of pain, so she opened the box reluctantly and took out two dollars.
The three of them went to the village clinic, but Old Man Zhang was attending a wedding at the Huo family and was not in the clinic. It was only when Shen Yuanpeng limped over and called for help that Old Man Zhang put down his wine glass and went over.
The conditions at the village clinic were very simple. There was no iodine, only two taels of alcohol. Using alcohol to disinfect the wounds made Li Chunlan and Shen Jianlin scream like pigs in pain.
He prescribed some medicinal herbs for the two of them and sent Shen Jianlin and his family away. Then Old Man Zhang returned to the Huo family and continued drinking. Of course, at the dinner table, Old Man Zhang told them about the injury of Shen Jianlin and his wife.
Zhang Erniu gloated after hearing this and said, "That old bitch Li Chunlan must be regretting breaking off relations with Yuanchun and her brother."
Wang Jianguo's wife said, "Don't talk to her in a normal way. She won't regret it. She will only resent Yuanchun and Yuandong for not knowing what's good for them."
Wang Jianguo's wife, Zhang Erya, is from the same village as Zhang Erniu. Because they have similar names, they have been good friends since childhood. Zhang Erniu's husband, Wang Jianping, and Wang Jianguo are cousins within the fifth degree of mourning, so they went from being friends to sisters-in-law, and their relationship became even closer.
Today, Huo Min specially invited Zhang Erniu's family over, and asked Zhang Erya to be the matchmaker for his brother-in-law and propose to Taohua.
So, after the wedding banquet, Zhang Erya took Zhang Erniu aside and secretly told her about Shen Yuandong's request to marry Taohua.
Zhang Erya smiled and said, "Before, after Yuanchun spread those words in the village, I thought that Huo Min met all the conditions she set. I was thinking of matchmaking them before the New Year, but I didn't expect that Huo Min would be away and wouldn't be back until the New Year. Maybe it was fate that these two children ended up together."
"In fact, Yuan Dong's conditions are similar to Huo Min's. She has no father or mother, but has a formal job. If your Taohua marries in, she will be the mistress and can be the head of the family. Besides, we have watched Yuan Dong grow up, and her character and appearance are both excellent."
At this moment, Zhang Erniu had only one feeling.
Pie in the sky.
It hit her on the head.
Zhang Erniu certainly knew how good Shen Yuandong was. She lived next door to the siblings. Shen Yuandong had been a very well-behaved, sensible, hardworking, and loyal person since he was a child.
She had thought about such a good candidate for son-in-law before, but Shen Yuandong was now eating commercial grain, and she was afraid that he would look down on peach blossoms, so she didn't mention this matter.
But she didn't expect that this kid Shen Yuandong actually fell in love with her peach blossom.
This is a good marriage, so of course Zhang Erniu would agree.
There is a rule in the village that if a man proposes to a woman and the woman does not agree the first time, the man must come and propose again to show that he values her. But now, Zhang Erniu ignored this rule and she agreed immediately.
She agreed without even discussing it with her husband and daughter.
