Chapter 43: Two childhood friends pass on a message (Second brother gets engaged to his first love a

Two childhood friends who sat next to each other in the first year of junior high school, during a break between classes, Yang Yuhan whispered a few words in Liu Ying's ear.

Yang Yuhan wanted to help her second brother, Yang Zhi, even though they weren't from the same parents, he was still a good person among her relatives.

She knew that in his previous life, the original owner's second cousin had been forced to marry a tall woman, and what a miserable life he had been in.

She wanted to save his beautiful marriage; it wasn't too late to risk everything. Therefore, she and Liu Ying joined forces, confident they could defeat both sets of parents.

Actually, it's not the fathers of the man and woman, but the mothers of both sides. Women are difficult to raise!

After English get out of class, Yang Yuhan and Liu Ying, childhood friends who sat at the same desk, did not leave the long wooden bench in the classroom and discussed their strategy.

Yang Yuhan rolled her big almond-shaped eyes, stretched out her small palm and fanned one of Liu Ying's ears, signaling her to hand over her ear.

Liu Ying understood what she meant, quickly turned her head and peeked out her left ear. Yang Yuhan lowered her raised hand, then looked around to make sure no one was in the classroom, quickly looked away, then put her mouth close to Liu Ying's peeked ear, whispered a few words, and then quickly withdrew her mouth.

Then, we had another class, and then it was time to go home. Today is Saturday, so there are no classes in the afternoon.

In those days, schools did not have classes on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons, unlike later times when schools did not have classes on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons and Sundays were a full day of rest.

In the evening, after dinner, the two secretly had their respective clients write a few words on a small piece of paper. Then they met up, exchanged the papers, and put them away in a different spot.

Yang Zhanxi was returning to the compound from outside the gate when he suddenly noticed a folded piece of paper tucked into the gap of the wooden door.

He was stunned for a moment, then paused for a second before taking it down.

When he opened it, he was almost scared to death.

He hurriedly took the small white slip of paper, walked quickly to the east room of the west wing, and saw that Diao Yan had nothing to do. He slapped the slip of paper across her face and said angrily, "Diao Yan, are you happy now? We only have one son. You always make him obey your arranged marriages. What will you do if he runs away tomorrow?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean I'm controlling his marriage? Even if I am, I'm still his mother. Everything I do is for his own good. The Liu family came to break off the engagement, what does that have to do with me? Does breaking off the engagement mean I won't marry him?"

"You're about to lose your son, what are you going to use to get married!"

"What nonsense are you spouting? You're saying I don't have a son? Are you cursing him to die?"

"You'll know just by looking at it."

"What are you looking at? My son is lying on the heated brick bed in the west room, alive and well."

"Look, look at what's written on that note I threw in your face?"

Diao Yan exclaimed "Ah!" after reading it! She almost got knocked over.

Yang Zhi and Yang Yuhan stood outside the dark window and almost burst out laughing when they saw their parents' actions inside!

From the moment Yang Zhanxi retrieved the small note from the crack in the wooden door, all the way to the house, he saw it all clearly, but he kept the smile to himself.

The Liu family slipped the same small note into the crack of the large wooden door and brought it into the house. The old man found it, took it inside, and showed it to Liu's mother. Of course, it was Liu Ying who read the note aloud.

Her parents were illiterate and couldn't even write their own names.

When Liu Lu was young, he was very unruly and often had affairs. The reason he lost his left eye was because he met the wife of a thug, and then a group of five or six thugs beat him blind in one eye.

Liu Lu immediately scolded his wife, saying that she was arrogant and domineering and should not have made the decision to break off the engagement on her own, insisting that the third daughter marry the young man from her second uncle's family in the county town.

Liu Lu is blind in one eye, but his heart is not. A good young man from the city can marry a girl from the countryside.

Upon hearing this, Liu's mother was immediately dumbfounded and didn't know what to do. She could only listen to Liu Lu's next move.

Liu Lu said to his mother, "If you don't want to lose this daughter, hurry up and find the matchmaker, Zou Laxian, first thing tomorrow morning. She just happened to be visiting from the city. After the two of them go home in a few days, who will you be able to find then?"

"What do you mean? Why do I need to hurry?"

"Don't you understand? If you don't hurry up and get them back together, he'll run away. Didn't you hear what was on that note?"

"You didn't see with your own eyes what Yang Zhi wrote. What if it was someone else impersonating him and writing his notes?"

"Mom, I recognize my third brother-in-law's notes," Ying replied immediately, fearing that her plan might fail!

Hearing her mother's words, Liu Yue, who was in the west room with the door open, immediately thought that her mother was quite a smart person.

Knowing that Yang Zhi was about to get engaged again and that the betrothal gift list was already finalized, Liu's mother felt at ease keeping Liu Yue in the west room. She opened the door.

The moment Liu Yue opened the door, she immediately ran to the Yang family's gate, which was tightly locked.

Countless stars twinkled in the evening sky, despite her attempts to knock. She certainly didn't have the courage; through the crack in the wooden door, she could only see that the west wing of the courtyard was completely dark inside, visible only through its glass window.

I wonder how he is? Has he found a new fiancée and forgotten about him?

She planned to hide under the gate of the Yang family's house for the night, hoping to see him the moment the gate opened the next morning.

Just as she was about to sit down, she suddenly saw the red-crested, green-feathered iron rooster on the roof of her neighbor Old Wang's house in the west courtyard. It had a hooked beak, a rooster's body, a fox's tail, and four fox legs. Then the iron rooster pointed its beak straight at her and winked.

She was so frightened that she immediately turned and ran away. She still felt lingering fear when she thought about that iron rooster. She had never seen it during the day or at night as frighteningly as she had tonight.

I didn't see him, but I did see that thing. Later, people in the village called it the Chicken Fox.

That's good, now that I have my younger sister and future sister-in-law to help me, I'm going to get engaged to Yang Zhi again.

Sure enough, her dream soon came true. The next day, early in the morning, matchmaker Zou Laqian brought Yang Zhi to Liu Yue's house to propose marriage and exchange betrothal gifts again.

Of course, both sets of parents were satisfied.

The two bundles containing the gifts still contained the same two pieces of dark blue tartan, two pieces of light gray polyester fabric, and two pairs of finished fiber striped trousers. Only one pair remained, as Yang Yuhan had already worn it.

The pants Yang Zhi wore on the day he went to the school to ask for his girlfriend after breaking off his engagement with Liu Yue and went to meet potential partners in another village.

Even if it's less, Liu Yue is willing. As long as her parents don't object to her marrying Yang Zhi, she's willing to accept no dowry at all.

The two got engaged for the second time. The rest of both families were fairly satisfied, but the two mothers weren't too happy. The only reason they reluctantly agreed was because of that note; otherwise, what could they have done? Did they expect the two children to be forced into a fait accompli and run away together?
