"Ah, I rember now, hasn’t the An family got visitors today? Those twenty taels must have been given by that family of three."
"Yes, the carriage is still at the door. Look at how grand the carriage is; they must be wealthy."
"Then the Zheng family’s plans might be wrong this ti, maybe they can really co up with fifty taels."
"So, An’an running away was really tily."
"Yes, yes, I told you even the heavens are helping that An’an girl."
"..."
"..."
The villagers saw the situation was turning in favor of the An family, and whispered among themselves, considering the Zheng family’s attitude, not daring to speak loudly.
But even the smallest whispers reached Old Zheng’s ears where he sat, and his face turned ugly.
His brow furrowed deeply. He had calculated that the An family couldn’t produce fifty taels, and An’an was definitely going to be his son’s wife.
But now, he wasn’t so sure anymore, because he had seen the carriage at the door too.
He sat there still wearing a fierce expression, but his heart was stirred.
Everything depended on the decision of the young man in front, he couldn’t let him ruin his long-planned good thing, so he coldly spoke, threatening, "Young man, you’re an outsider here, you’d best not ddle in our matters, or else."
He paused, resembling a bully, his gaze fierce, "This isn’t a place you can dictate, co and go as you please."
"You..." An family’s Boss An Quan was red-faced, neck tense with anger, a shred of hope had erged, and if this big brother in front of him was really scared off by Old Zheng’s threats, then An’an would be finished.
He hurriedly spoke, "Big brother, don’t listen to his nonsense."
At this mont, Chen from the Old Tian family stepped forward. If this person indeed gave silver to the An family, then the two taels she was to receive would be out of reach, which was unacceptable.
"Big brother, if you ask , it’s better not to get involved in such idle matters. Besides, if you actually give them silver, they won’t be able to repay it, wouldn’t you be wasting it for nothing and offending people? The Zheng family isn’t soone a foreigner like you can afford to offend."
"I don’t know why you’ve co to Anyi Village, but less trouble is better than more. If your whole family can’t leave Anyi Village, that wouldn’t be good."
Chen was sharp and sarcastic, bluntly threatening Yang Ming, causing the An family to turn black-faced.
Yang Ming just stood there, without any expression on his face and didn’t speak, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
"Now it’s really hard to say."
"Who says not? It seems the An’an girl still has to marry into the Zheng family."
"That family of three are just inquiring, they’re not relatives of the An family. It’s okay if they don’t give fifty taels; less trouble is better than more."
"..."
"..."
Seeing the situation tilt back towards the Zheng family again, the crowd murmured softly once more, not daring to say a bad word about the Zheng family.
This really made An Quan anxious, he asked again, "Big brother, you see..."
But before he could finish speaking, Yang Ming interrupted, "Brother, I can’t lend you this silver."
"..."
