Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside Chapter 1369 - 1371: One Hundred Taels Is Impossible

Yang Dong’s words surprised everyone in the other room. The joy that was just on their faces disappeared; they had thought they had persuaded Yang Dong, but he wasn’t convinced at all.

Aunt Lan Hua’s smile also vanished, and with a sowhat stern face, she asked, "Yang Dong, what do you an by that?"

Yang Dong replied unhurriedly, "Aunt Lan Hua, I’ve co today to discuss the bride price. A hundred taels is impossible. If you insist on a hundred taels, then the matter between Yang Xiaocui and is over."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Lan Hua imdiately jumped up and shouted, "Over? Yang Dong, you promised in front of so many people to marry our Xiaocui, and now you say it’s over? How do you expect our Xiaocui to live in the future? You’re driving her to death!"

Yang Dong’s words also panicked those in the room, who quickly chid in.

"Yes, why are you going back on your word like that? You’re driving my little sister-in-law to her death!"

"Your family isn’t short on money; do you really have to drive soone to death? If this gets out, let’s see which family’s daughter dares to marry you."

Facing the accusations from Yang Xiaocui’s family, Yang Dong wasn’t angry; he had one goal—no to a hundred taels as a bride price, no matter what. "Aunt Lan Hua, I’m not saying I won’t marry her. It’s just that you are asking for too much. I can’t agree to it. If your Yang Xiaocui seeks death because of this, it’s not my family’s fault. It’s your high bride price that’s causing this issue not to be resolved."

Although what Yang Dong said was correct, if they hadn’t demanded such a high bride price, the marriage could have been settled today. But Aunt Lan Hua wouldn’t admit that. "Yang Dong, what you’re saying isn’t right. If you hadn’t wronged our Xiaocui, would this have happened? Can we force you to marry our Xiaocui?"

At the ntion of this, Yang Dong was filled with regret. He shouldn’t have ddled, getting himself into this big trouble.

But now that things had co to this, the issue could only be resolved if the marriage was agreed upon.

Dealing with Xiaocui’s family, he wasn’t going to shy away from twisting logic either. He opened his mouth and said, "Aunt Lan Hua, if you put it like that, then it’s also your fault. Over the years, if you had fed her well, would she have fainted from hunger? If she hadn’t fainted, would there have been any connection to ? So, if anything happens to your Yang Xiaocui, it’s also because of your own family."

Aunt Lan Hua and her group hadn’t expected Yang Dong to start spinning logic too, and were montarily at a loss for words.

Aunt Lan Hua, who had always wanted to persuade with words, found it useless at this point. Yang Dong was completely unmoved; not only could he not be persuaded, he wanted to renege on the matter. This couldn’t be! So Aunt Lan Hua began to get tough, "Yang Dong, you’ve carried and held our Xiaocui, you’ve destroyed her purity. Now you want to back out? I’m telling you, that’s not going to happen."

Others, hearing this, also reacted and chid in.

"Yes, you promised in front of so many people. How can you just renege on it?"

"You can’t back out. The whole village knows about Xiaocui marrying you. If you back out, how can she ever find soone in the future?"

"If sothing happens to her because you backed out, we won’t let you off easily."
