The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

Fang Yingxue blocked Su Qianqian and Xiao Bao outside the gate.

Yesterday, Su Qianqian beat him up, so he didn't dare touch her. He only dared to grab Su Xiaobao and say, "Su Qianqian, you stole my family's big yellow ox and our Fang family's heirloom. Give them back now."

Because her face was still swollen, it hurt a lot when she spoke, causing her to make a strange, distorted expression.

Su Qianqian shoved Fang Yingxue so hard she stumbled, then shielded Xiaobao with her hands: "Catch the culprit with the stolen goods, Su Yingxue. I think you should search the house. If you can find your family heirloom and the two big yellow oxen in the Su family, then it will prove that I stole them."

Fighting is exhausting; it's better to sit back and watch the two sides fight it out, using Fang Yingxue to deal with Old Madam Su, watching them bite each other, and paving the way for the division of the family property.

Grandma Su was very reluctant to let anyone search her house. "No, absolutely not, no one can search my house."

Money was her lifeblood. She had a lot of silver and valuables hidden in her house. If others saw them, many people would probably come to borrow money.

The villagers are poor, they are all uncultured and lowly people, especially this year the taxes are particularly heavy, and I heard that several families are about to starve to death.

If they knew that this old lady had a lot of good things, they might be desperate and try to rob her, so they absolutely couldn't let anyone search her house.

Fang Yingxue was not one to suffer losses. As soon as she heard that she was to search the house, she rushed into the house and searched room by room.

She searched very carefully, hoping to find the Fang family's heirloom. Such a valuable item would make her look good as part of her dowry when she got married.

After searching through the first, second, and third houses, Fang Yingxue was finally going to search through the old lady's house.

Grandma Su got anxious. "Eldest daughter-in-law, second daughter-in-law, are you two just freeloaders? Stop them right now!"

As he spoke, he stepped forward and pinched the second son's wife's arm, causing her great pain.

The eldest and second sons' wives spat out the sunflower seed shells, reluctantly stood up, and slowly walked towards Fang Yingxue.

The two women harbored ulterior motives and had no intention of offending the Fang family.

It's almost certain that the Fang family will break off the engagement with the third branch of the family. After the engagement is broken off, they might be able to let their daughter marry into the Fang family, since Fang Cheng is the only scholar who has passed the imperial examination in the surrounding villages.

He's destined to be a government official.

I've heard that Fang Cheng is exceptionally talented and a shoo-in for the top scholar in the imperial examinations. They have a good chance of becoming the mother-in-law of a top scholar in the future, so we must not offend the Fang family.

The eldest son's wife and the second son's wife therefore walked slower than tortoises.

Su Qianqian followed Fang Yingxue with a happy expression, watching Fang Yingxue search through the old lady's house.

They also found out where Grandma Su kept her money.

This money was all taken by the old lady from the third branch of the family; we must find a way to get it back.

Although Fang Yingxue couldn't find the Fang family's heirloom, she did find the silver ingots and many banknotes that the old lady had kept at the bottom of the box, and her eyes lit up.

This old lady is really rich. No wonder she's the richest woman in Lotus Village. She's probably quite wealthy compared to the old ladies in town.

Fang Yingxue had heard her mother, Madam Sun, say that the third wife, Gu, had a generous dowry. The Fang family had only managed to swindle a small portion of it; the majority had been forcibly taken by Old Madam Su.

But it's worth much more than two big yellow oxen.

I'll discuss it with my mother later and see how to trick the money back into the Fang family.

It's said that Old Madam Su's favorite is her eldest son, Su Fugui, who is always chasing after her. Actually, you could give Fugui a little something and trick the old lady out of her money first.

After searching carefully, Fang Yingxue found nothing belonging to the Fang family. She pouted and wanted to leave the Su family, but Su Qianqian stopped her.

"I told you, if you find the family heirloom and the big yellow ox, it proves that I stole them, but even if you don't find them, you will still be punished."

Su Qianqian stepped forward and threw Fang Yingxue to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.

Fang Yingxue felt like her bones had been broken. "Ouch! Ouch! Murder! Help!"

The second son's wife quickly stepped forward to help Fang Yingxue up and even picked up the peach-colored camellia that had fallen to the ground.

The daughter of the third wife is really crazy. She bites anyone she can get her hands on, and she even dares to throw her future sister-in-law.

The Fang family girl was badly hurt when she fell; her hair was disheveled, and her forehead was covered in bruises.

The second wife looked relieved. Hearing the Fang girl's cries of pain, she knew it must have hurt a lot. The third wife's daughter was really strong. Luckily, it wasn't her, the second aunt, who was thrown.

When the neighbors heard the shouts and came over, very few of them sided with Fang Yingxue.

"Without any evidence, they turned someone's house upside down. That Fang girl is really unethical."

"That's right, that's right, the Fang girl has no point at all."

Before Fang Yingxue could even tie her hair up, she roared, "Who are you calling 'girl'? Please call me Miss Fang!"

These lowly people have no respect for others. When her brother becomes the top scholar in the imperial examination, everyone will have to respectfully call her Miss.

Fang Yingxue remained convinced that Su Qianqian was the thief. She pointed her slender index finger at Su Qianqian and said, "It must be her. She must have made her father and brother hide the two oxen."

The Su family's old house was bustling with activity. The village chief had arrived, and onlookers had gathered around the gate, making it impossible to pass through.

After Sun arrived, she lay down on the ground, forcing the village chief to uphold justice for the Fang family.

The village chief, not one to back down without evidence, immediately declared, "Get out! Stop causing trouble! Don't disrupt the order of Lotus Village!"

But the Fang mother and daughter refused to get up and remained seated on the ground.

Since her son already had a new fiancée, Madam Sun thought that it was the right thing to do to break off the engagement with Su Qianqian as soon as possible.

Since there's no evidence of the theft, let's humiliate Su Qianqian in other ways.

The girl's reputation is ruined after the engagement is broken off. Let's see if Su Qianqian will have the face to go out in the future!

"My son is a scholar who has passed the imperial examination. He would never marry a girl like you whose purity has been ruined by human traffickers. Our Fang family wants to annul the engagement."

This was exactly what Su Qianqian wanted to say. She clasped her hands in thanks to the villagers and said, "Please help me bear witness. My marriage to the Fang family is hereby called off."

Fortunately, the village chief was present and could act as a witness. Although the village chief was quite power-hungry, he was still considered upright.

Su Qianqian reached out her hand to Madam Sun, "Since the two families have broken off the engagement, please return the fish-shaped jade pendant from my mother's dowry, as well as the marriage certificate."

At that time, the jade pendant was given to the Fang family as a token of their love, while the Fang family gave the Su family an ordinary wooden hairpin.

Su Ping'an had already found the wooden hairpin and placed it in Sun's hands.

Sun took the wooden hairpin and stammered, "We lost the jade pendant, so we won't return it. As for the marriage certificate, we haven't found it yet."

Su Qianqian knew very well that the Fang family was only refusing to return the jade pendant because of its value, and it was also possible that it had already been sold for money.

They want to swallow the Su family's money? No way!

I'll owe it to you for now, and I'll get it back double later.

Su Qianqian pleaded with the villagers again, "Now that my engagement with Fang Cheng has been called off, I would like to ask all the aunts, uncles, and elders present to bear witness that the engagement between the Su family and the Fang family is hereby terminated."

The kind-hearted Aunt Li replied, "I'll stand by as a witness. The marriage between your two families is off. Qian, you deserve better."

The village chief's youngest son, Gou Dan, also said, "I'll also help testify."

In Gou Dan's heart, Fang Tongsheng was nothing but a pile of shit, a stinking piece of shit, a hypocritical villain.

Thank you everyone.

Breaking off the engagement with that scumbag is a major accomplishment, something to celebrate!

Su Qianqian knew that the marriage certificate couldn't possibly be lost; Sun was lying. She would definitely find a chance to get the marriage certificate back and tear it up to truly annul the engagement.

It would be even better if we could divide the family property as soon as possible.

She went into the space early this morning to check on the white goat that had been killed by a wild boar's tusks, and found that the goat meat was still very fresh, just like when it was first put in. It seems that the space has a preservation function.

But we can't take it out to eat now, otherwise Gu Shi and Su Bing, with their dull personalities, definitely won't be able to eat it, and it will all end up in the stomachs of the old lady and the first and second wives.

At this moment, Su Fugui, the second son of the eldest son's wife, returned.

Su Fugui inherited his grandmother's plump, round face, and looked nothing like the third wife.

Su Fugui didn't have to work normally; he just hung out with a few hooligans, engaging in dog fighting and cockfighting, as well as petty theft. He also frequently spied on the village's young wives taking baths, making him a universally disliked figure.

The old lady, however, treated it like a treasure.

This kid didn't come home all night. He had dark circles under his eyes and his steps were unsteady. I don't know what he was doing outside. It's almost noon now and he's only just come back.

The moment Su Fugui saw Fang Yingxue, he immediately perked up.
