Chapter 432
Fortunately, Chen Dongzhi called some people to follow Jiang Qin, Sun Tao and others. When the Kong family heard the matchmaker say that Jiang Qin had gone to cancel the engagement, they immediately wanted to take action, cursing at them.
"Who the hell are you? You want to cancel the engagement? I tell you, no way! If you dare not marry my sister, I will bring people to smash your store tomorrow!" The eldest son of the Kong family pointed at Jiang Qin with a fierce look in his eyes. If the matchmaker hadn't stopped him, he would have punched him.
The second son of the Kong family looked gentle and polite, but he was not like that at all when he spoke. He tilted his mouth and said with a half-smile, "It just so happens that I have nothing to do recently, so I can come to your restaurant called Ruyi Restaurant and sit for a while. But I'm worried that the customers in your restaurant will be scared away by us brothers, which would be bad!"
The girl from the Kong family was hesitant to speak. Jiang Qin was furious but still hoped that she would say something. However, he didn't expect that she would start blaming and slandering him as soon as she opened her mouth:
"Ah Qin, didn't you tell me that you could get married after the new year? Why did you change your mind? Is it because you can't afford the betrothal gift? Or have you fallen for another girl?"
Jiang Qin couldn't believe it. "Have you ever thought about how high the bride price your family mentioned is? Besides, I have my own parents and sisters. Why should I pay to buy a yard for your parents to take care of them in their old age? Are your brothers dead?"
The daughter of the Kong family smiled softly upon hearing this. "Aqin, if you marry me, my parents will naturally be your parents. Since they are your parents, you will of course have the obligation to provide for them in their old age. As for my brothers, they are not as capable as you, so the burden of providing for them in their old age will still fall on you. Didn't you say that my affairs are your affairs? Why are you unwilling to help me with such a small matter?"
Jiang Qin's eyes widened in shock. It was the daughter of the Kong family who told him this at the time. Kong's mother asked her to fetch water from the well near the market every day to fill the water tank at home.
He felt distressed when he heard that, and told her that he would be the one to fetch water in the future. After they got married, her affairs would be Jiang Qin's affairs. From then on, Jiang Qin fetched water from the well in the backyard of the restaurant to the Kong family every day. Of course, he did this in his free time.
How can this be confused?
He wasn't raised by Confucius! Why should he be supported by Confucius?
Jiang Qin was panting with anger, "Provide for your parents in their old age? What about my parents and sisters? Do I have to abandon them just for you?"
The daughter of the Kong family did not show it on her face, but she sneered in her heart: Your parents are not my parents, I just need to take care of my own parents.
Of course, no matter what she was thinking, she couldn't say it so directly. She still liked Jiang Qin very much, not for his restaurant and yard in the town, but just for his daily care for her. This man was worthy of trust.
"Since we are all family, we should live together naturally. However, my parents are not in good health and cannot do heavy work, so I have to trouble my mother-in-law and my sisters to take care of the housework."
The matchmaker watched the two of them talking back and forth, and she began to get anxious. Didn't the Jiang family say they would come over today to cancel the engagement? Why were they talking about it again now?
She reached out and poked the stunned Sun Tao, "Big sister! Say something! Are you going to back off from this kiss?"
Sun Tao woke up as if from a dream. She was so shocked by the shameless remarks made by the daughter of the Kong family that she almost forgot the main purpose of coming here today.
When they heard the word "cancel the engagement", the four brothers of the Kong family who were watching eagerly from the side began to get impatient. The eldest brother of the Kong family directly reached out and pushed Jiang Qin who was still arguing with his sister, "If you don't apologize to us today, don't even think about leaving this door! We can't agree to cancel the engagement as you said, unless you give us compensation!"
He finally revealed his ultimate goal, "Use your restaurant to compensate us! Otherwise, we will go to the government office to sue you for molesting a woman! After all, you and my sister were flirting on the street these days and many people saw you! Don't be shameless!"
Restaurant?
Jiang Qin and Sun Tao looked at him with frowns. Who told this idiot that the restaurant was theirs?
Sun Tao thought more deeply and wondered if it was because they felt that the restaurant was theirs that they asked a matchmaker to come and propose marriage?
She cast a suspicious look at the matchmaker, thinking that she would have to ask the matchmaker about it after calling off the marriage. She couldn't just let herself be treated as a fool and tricked, right?
"Go ahead and sue if you want! I'm not afraid of you!" Jiang Qin said in a deep voice. He thought it was a good marriage but it turned out to be this!
Kong Da raised his fist and was about to hit Jiang Qin in the face, "You thief! Do you think I dare not hit you?"
The next second, the door of the Kong family courtyard was pushed open from the outside, and Chen Dongzhi walked in with Zhong Laoer, Zhong Laosan and Liu Gang.
The others were fine, except for Liu Gang, who was walking behind. He was wearing a black and red official uniform. When Kong Da saw him, he immediately withdrew his hand and acted like a grandson, "Master Liu! What gust of wind blew you here?"
The other members of the Kong family were equally timid when they saw him, and their majestic demeanor disappeared in an instant.
Liu Gang's eyes were indifferent, with a smile on his lips. "My brother-in-law told me that his brother came to you to discuss something, and he was afraid that things wouldn't go well, so he asked me to come and see - have you finished the discussion?"
Since ancient times, the people have never fought against the officials. Even if the Kong family was arrogant and domineering, they could only nod and bow when they met Liu Gang. When he asked if the matter was settled, even if they were reluctant in their hearts, they could only say "OK", and then let the Kong family girl enter the house to take out the marriage certificate of the two.
In front of everyone, Jiang Qin tore up the marriage certificate and the one he brought with him. He finally felt relieved.
The two sides argued for a long time, but Liu Gang settled the matter with just one sentence!
Today he finally understood that the Kong family was a group of shameless people! They spoke and acted just like those scoundrels. If it weren't for Brother Liu's friendship today, he would never have withdrawn so easily!
When the group left, Jiang Qin was walking at the back. When he looked back, he inadvertently saw the unwilling expressions of the Kong family. They seemed to have missed a huge opportunity and glared at the backs of Jiang Qin and others with hatred!
Zhong Ruyi waited in the store for a long time, and finally waited for a few people to come back. She put her daughter down and asked anxiously, "How is it? Did you return it?"
Sun Tao let out a long sigh, "Retreat, retreat! You must thank Officer Liu very much!"
If the engagement cannot be cancelled and the marriage certificate cannot be obtained today, there is no guarantee that the Kong family will not use the marriage certificate to cause trouble if Jiang Qin wants to get married in the future. Therefore, out of caution, the engagement must be cancelled and the marriage certificate must be torn up.
"It's good that you've retired, it's good that you've retired!" Zhong Ruyi felt relieved and asked about the attitude of Sun Tao and Kong's family.
Sun Tao pouted, "They thought this store belonged to our Jiang family. They said they wanted to cancel the engagement and then give them this store as compensation! Otherwise, I will go to the government office to sue Xiao Qin!"
The face is as big as a basin!
Zhong Ruyi was overjoyed. "If you want to cancel the engagement, why don't you use this store to compensate them? This isn't the way to get something for nothing, right?"
But no matter what, the engagement was successfully cancelled. Sun Tao said that she wanted to find a time to visit Liu Gang and thank him. If it weren't for him, the matter would not have been resolved so easily today.
"I'll ask my second sister-in-law when she is free to take you there." Zhong Ruyi said with a smile. This is because she has someone inside to help her!
