Portable Space: The Peasant Princess

"How could this be? This Zhou scholar usually seems very sensible, but I didn't expect that he is also a heartless person."

"That's right! You really can't tell a person by his appearance!"

Zhou Zheng and He Rou's faces turned blue and white after being pointed at.

Gu Panxia looked at her grandparents, whose faces were equally dark but did not refute, and she was even more confused.

"Mom, what on earth is going on?"

She approached Zhou and asked in a low voice.

Mrs. Zhou first looked at the woman kneeling on the ground angrily, and then sighed: "That is your brother-in-law's ex-fiancée, her name is Zhang Xiangxiang."

Gu Panxia was surprised, "She is really my uncle's fiancée. So... what should I do here?"

She thought the woman was a liar, but she didn't expect that she was really her uncle's fiancée.

Strange, why has she never heard of such a person?

"It's true that you are your fiancée, but she ran away with a salesman three years ago. She thought your brother-in-law was poor and didn't know how to coax, so she asked her brother-in-law to break off the engagement."

When Gu Panxia heard this, his eyes that were originally sympathetic to the woman suddenly darkened.

The middle-aged man stood up and said with a righteous look: "We are not here today to fight with each other. As long as you come up with a thousand taels, this matter will be over."

Zhou Jian was furious and wanted to start a fight, but he was afraid of frightening the other guests, so he could only say angrily: "Zhang Da, today is a good day for Azheng. Our Zhou family doesn't want to argue with you. You'd better take advantage of it now." Leave quickly!"

Zhang Da smiled disdainfully and said, "What's the matter? Do you still want to beat us? Your brother failed my sister just to marry a young lady from a rich family. Are you still afraid that others will know?"

Just a few days after they came back from other towns, they heard that the Zhou family had made a fortune. They didn't have time to ask about it. They just thought that it was because the Zhou family married He Rou that they were as wealthy as they are today.

The salesman Zhang Xiangxiang married beat and scolded her all day long. Not to mention giving them money, she didn't even get a penny.

At the beginning, they all gave ten taels of silver in one go, which made them all think that the salesman was very wealthy, so they hurried over to break off the engagement with the Zhou family.

When they came back, they heard that Zhou Zheng was getting married to a girl from a wealthy family in the town, so they planned to make a fortune from the Zhou family.

He just took note of the Zhou family's honest nature. They are soft persimmons, and if you don't pinch them, it will be in vain.

Zhou Zheng hugged the trembling He Rou tightly, but stared coldly at Zhang Xiangxiang who was kneeling on the ground crying.

To be honest, he had thought about living with Zhang Xiangxiang for the rest of his life, but he never expected that this woman disliked poverty and loved wealth. She said that his Zhou family was poor and that he was just a poor scholar and would never be successful in this life.

Zhang's scoundrel look fell into Gu Panxia's eyes. If today wasn't her uncle's big day, she would have wanted to kill this self-righteous fool with one move.

She stepped forward and said innocently: "Miss Zhang, didn't you say that my grandma's family was poor, she broke off the engagement with my brother-in-law, and then ran away with the rich salesman? Why are you back?"

Halfway through her words, she pretended to be enlightened and said: "Oh! I understand, have you been abandoned by that salesman? And since my grandma's family is rich now, you want to rely on my brother-in-law, right?"

Zhang Xiangxiang, who was poked at the central issue, was stunned. She even forgot to cry, and just stared blankly at the little girl in front of her who was as beautiful as a fairy.

She had this plan, her brother and sister-in-law wanted money, but she wanted to marry Zhou Zheng.

In the past, although Zhou Zheng was studying, he also liked to help his family with farm work. He was very dark and not very handsome.

Now, his face was fair and handsome, and he finally had the look of a handsome scholar. She had been attracted to him from the moment she saw him when she walked in the door.
